The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 280 Ah Jin, You Drink Too Much

"Ajin, why did you think of coming to my harem today? Don't you always worry about trivial matters on weekdays? It's rare to be free today. You came just in time. Come on, go down and prepare dinner, and make more things that King Jing'an likes." Ah Jin, even though you are here today, don’t rush to go back, how about staying here to have dinner with me?” Gongsun waved his hand and sent away those who surrounded her and gave her a massage Maids.

"Yes, I obey." Nangong Jin stretched out her arms and carefully helped Gongsun up. Gongsun didn't notice it. The moment Nangong Jin lowered his head, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...

In the harem, there seemed to be the warmth of the mother and son reunited after a long absence. In the eyes of the eunuchs and maids, the two were so harmonious. Perhaps only I knew their respective thoughts.

After a few inadvertent greetings, Nangong Jin helped her mother, Gongsun, to the main hall. At this time, the maids and maids had already started to clear the dining table, bringing them to and fro, a busy scene.

Nangong Jin sat beside Gongsun, with a happy expression on his face, while Gongsun gave him a few faint glances from time to time, as if wanting to see through his mind and why he came here today.

"Queen, has the emperor visited you in the past few days?" Nangong Jin asked with a smile, and poured himself a full glass of the jade wine that was brought up first.

"Oh, your imperial brother has a lot of things in court these days, I'm afraid there is no such time..." Gongsun said indifferently, as if he was a little absent-minded.

Behind Nangong Jin's smiling face, at this moment, his heart is so gloomy. Over the years, he seems to have gotten used to his true self, showing indifference everywhere, no matter who he is to.Perhaps he hadn't felt this feeling today for a long time, and Gongsun's words disgusted him so much.

Hmph, what is the busyness of the court, what is the most important thing about the people, everything is so ridiculous, I am afraid that Nangong Huan does not know which palace is having a good time with countless beautiful concubines...

During the speech, countless maids of honor brought sumptuous delicacies, and the huge round table was filled in a short while. The delicacies were as green as emeralds, as red as vermilion, and as white as jade...

Gongsun could see clearly that Nangong Jin seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, making toasts to her one cup after another, while he was also drinking heavily, and within a short time, a trace of blush pervaded his usually ruthless face superior.

"Ajin... drink less, drink too much, it's not good for your health..." Gongsun said softly, his eyes still stretched out with that ruthless look, Nangong Jin seemed to be unaware of all this.

"Hehe, Queen Mother... Erchen is happy today. It's okay to drink two more glasses. I'll offer you a toast." Nangong Jin poured it on her again, regardless of Gongsun's obstruction.

In the hall, there is such warmth, whether it is the environment or the relationship between mother and child...

The pot of jade wine soon bottomed out, Nangong Jin's eyes were slightly red, and she waved her hand towards the maidservant of Gong'e beside her.

"Go, bring me some more wine."

Nangong Jin smiled faintly at Gongsun, and drank the last glass of wine in one gulp.

"Empress, I am happy today. Can you tell me something about my childhood? I am very curious." Nangong Jin said meaninglessly, seemingly without intention.

Gongsun's face changed instantly, and in the next second, she couldn't help covering her face with the brocade handkerchief in her hand, pretending to wipe the corners of her mouth, peeking at it, Nangong Jin was just buried in the food on the silver plate, and there seemed to be no unusual change , she just slightly let go of her heart.

Gongsun forced a smile.

"Ajin, why did you suddenly think of asking such a question today? You didn't seem to be interested in these things before."

Nangong Jin knew so well in his heart that in the past, as Gongsun said, he might not be really interested in all this, but now, in order to explore the truth, he has no choice but to do so.

"Hehe, where did the empress mother say this? My son has always wanted to ask the empress such a question, but there has never been a suitable time. Who wouldn't be curious about when he was young? But if the empress doesn't want to talk about it, she can I didn't ask any more questions." Nangong Jin's face was still so natural, and he took the jug handed over by the maid again.

"Ajin, why would my mother not want to talk about it? Since you want to hear it, it doesn't matter if my mother tells you. When you were young, you are quite similar to now. You always look like you are not afraid of anything. I don't know if you Remember, you always like to bully your brother!" Gongsun said, as if he was talking about something interesting, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Oh?" Nangong Jin agreed lightly. He seemed to really remember some of these things, but in his memory, whenever this happened, Gongsun always turned to Nangong Huan, and then reprimanded him sternly .

That is your superior imperial brother, the future emperor of the Fengnan Dynasty, Ajin, your whole life is spent working hard for your imperial brother...

Nangong Jin has heard words like this many times, and perhaps because of this reason, he always has the feeling that although he was born to a single mother, he is always left out in the cold.Or perhaps, this is why he has alienated the Gongsun family for so many years.

"Hehe, little Ajin, after all, she's not sensible..." Nangong Jin drank another glass, it seemed that he really drank a little too much tonight.

"But... Queen Mother." There was a crisp sound on the table, and Nangong Jin squatted the wine glass on it. With this soft sound, Gongsun was shocked.

Nangong Jin blinked her red eyes and asked.

"Since I can remember, it seems that you have been educating me, teaching me how to behave in the world, teaching me how to be a human being, I don't know...why does my father never pay attention to this? "

As soon as she said a word, the chopsticks in Gongsun's hand fell on the table with a clatter, her eyes drooped and trembled slightly, Nangong Jin's words were beyond her expectation.

Why, he would ask such a question, could it be... what did he know!
"Damn slave! Why did you bring me a barbed chopstick! Someone, drag her down and give her twenty slaps!" Gongsun suddenly turned her head and shouted at the maid behind her.

"The Empress Dowager, spare my life, the Empress Dowager, spare my life!" The maid next to her was frightened out of her wits, and the innocent woman was caught off guard by everything that happened suddenly.

"The empress dowager, spare my life, the empress dowager!" The maid was stripped of the palace by several eunuchs, and her shouting became smaller and smaller.

"These servants are really so careless. There are wooden spikes on their chopsticks..." Gongsun tried her best to suppress the chaotic emotions, and gently fiddled with her hands with long armor.

"Hehe, Queen Mother, your punishment is too light. For such a careless person, in my opinion, death with a stick is the only way!" Nangong Jin stared closely at Gongsun's eyes. At this moment, he felt The other party seemed to be evading.

"Ajin, maybe you drink too much? The queen mother just advised you to drink less. Could it be that you have forgotten that before you can remember, your father died of a sudden illness..." Gongsun said , lowered his head, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Nangong Jin could see clearly that the Gongsun family was definitely acting...

"Oh, oh! That's right..." Nangong Jin patted his forehead as if he had suddenly realized.

"What the empress mother said is very true. It seems that the son really drank too much, and he doesn't even remember it. However, the empress mother, the son wants to know what kind of disease the father is suffering from... It seems that you have always He didn't tell me." Nangong Jin didn't show any sign of backing down, and still asked pressingly.

"This..." Gongsun frowned slightly, and gradually clenched the hands under the table.

"Ajin, this matter... oh, my mother doesn't want to bring it up... Your father is such a wise emperor. If it weren't for him, Fengnan Dynasty wouldn't be where it is today. It's a pity that such a person would eventually die. You can't escape the palm of fate. Your father... According to the imperial physician, your father died from overwork and a heart attack." At this point, Gongsun wiped the dry corners of his eyes silently.

Hmph... Nangong Jin hummed softly in her heart.

"My son and minister are unfilial, and I never knew the reason. Empress, can you still remember your father's appearance now? What kind of person is he?" Nangong Jin covered his face with wine, and still asked each other .

Faint mist of sweat gradually appeared on Gongsun's forehead. She didn't understand what happened to Nangong Jin today, and what he knew.

"Ajin, it seems that you really drank too much today. If you really want to know these things, mother will tell you later when you are more sober, how about it?" Gongsun showed a helpless smile.

At this time, she seemed to have suddenly closed the two doors that had just revealed a gap.

Nangong Jin's expression was somewhat gloomy, and he seemed to have a premonition that maybe even if he asked again, he probably wouldn't be able to ask anything.

Nangong Jin stood up and saluted Gongsun, still slightly drunk.

"Well, since the queen mother said so, then forget it. It seems that the son really drank too much today. If there is any verbal offense, I ask the queen mother to forgive me." After finishing speaking, Nangong Jin pushed the chair aside and shook Staggeringly, he walked towards the palace gate.

"Come here, take King Jing'an back to the mansion." Gongsun hurriedly ordered to the eunuch.

Several eunuchs trotted over to help Nangong Jin, but Nangong Jin pushed them behind with a wave of his arms.

"No, this king hasn't drunk to that extent yet!"

When stepping out of the palace gate, Nangong Jin turned her head suddenly, with that faint smile still on her face.

"Queen, I hope that next time when my servants come to eat with you, I hope you will teach your servants to be careful not to choose chopsticks with thorns, which makes people feel somewhat disappointed... Hehe, goodbye."

After saying this, Nangong Jin walked outside without looking back.
