Qiyou Episode (Sixty-Nine)
Qi Hao said to Yu Xi with a sad face: "Mother, I always thought that Concubine Hui was really indifferent to the world, and Yun Yu was also peaceful. But I didn't expect that they coveted the throne so early."
Yuxi was not surprised by this, and said calmly: "It's not surprising. Yunsheng is gone, and you still want to pass on this position as Hongbin and Honglang. Why? He feels that he is smarter than Hongbin and Honglang Brother Lang is both strong, why can't this position be his?"
Qihao smiled wryly and said: "I always thought that the Yunsheng brothers could support each other like me and Ah Rui." Even though Yuxi had reminded him a long time ago that the princes would fight each other for status, he was still confident Several sons can get along well. As a result, reality slapped him hard.
After being silent for a long time, Yuxi said: "Ah Rui and Ayou can become your arms, it didn't come out of thin air, it was paid for by my countless painstaking efforts."
Seeing Qiyou looking at her, Yuxi said: "Qirui's ambition is to become a generalissimo, Qixuan wants to become a university student, and Qiyou's dream is to eat delicious food all over the world. I have no interest." I have no interest in being emperor, so how could I want to fight for the throne.
Qihao recalled Yuxi asking what the triplets' ambitions were, and his heart was shocked: "Mother..."
Seeing Qihao's appearance, Yuxi knew what he was thinking. In fact, it was Qihao who never concealed his emotions in front of Yuxi. If not, even Yuxi might not be able to guess what he was thinking.
Yuxi said: "Once you have something you want to do, you will naturally have no interest in others." She didn't think about it that much at the time, she just wanted to cultivate children's interest and let them do what she likes to do. Later, when Yunqing conquered the capital, she strongly supported Qirui and the others to realize their dreams. The purpose is to prevent the brothers from fighting each other for the throne. Fortunately, the triplets have their favorite things to do, and Qihao is very good, so there is no such thing as brother-in-law killing.
Qihao feels that Yuxi thinks far and wide.
Yu Xi did not deny this, but said: "Don't talk about half-brothers, even brothers of the same mother, there are countless examples of killing each other for the throne." So Qi Hao's previous thoughts were too naive. It's just that she clicked it a few times and saw that Qihao didn't take it seriously, so she didn't say anything more.
Qihao smiled wryly, "I'm too conceited."
Yuxi said: "Things have already happened, it's useless to think too much. Lang'er is a good boy, and he will be filial to you in the future."
Qi Hao nodded.
Half a month later, Hong Lang returned to the capital. Because Zhou Shushen was ill, Hong Lang went to Kang Wang's Mansion first. When I saw Zhou Shushen, I told him what I had seen and heard along the way.
As for the danger of the road, he didn't mention a word.
After talking for half an hour, Hong Lang said: "Concubine Mu, I will go to the palace to see great-grandfather and the others, and then I will go out to see you."
Zhou Shushen shook her head and said: "You don't need to come out of the palace anymore, I will go to the palace to visit you if something happens." Concubine Hui and Yun Yu have been punished, but it doesn't mean there is no danger.
When Honglang entered the palace, he knelt on the ground when he saw Yunqing and Yuxi: "Lang'er met great-grandfather and great-grandmother." After speaking, he kowtowed three times.
"Hong Lang, what are you doing?" After speaking, Yun Qing asked the people around him to help him up:
Hong Lang said gratefully: "If it weren't for great-grandfather and great-grandmother, Lang'er wouldn't be able to come back."
Although he had been assassinated and poisoned before, he was not afraid because there were so many people around him protecting him. But the things he encountered along the way left him with lingering fears, especially when he heard that the stand-in had been seriously injured and was still unconscious, he was even more frightened into a cold sweat.
Yun Qing smiled and said: "That's your own strength." These years, Hong Lang has been practicing qigong unremittingly, and he has never slacked off for half a day. If it's like Pergo'er, it's useless for them to teach.
After hearing this, Yu Xi said: "Even though Concubine Hui and Yun Yu are dead, it doesn't mean you are safe. Lang'er, besides Concubine Hui and Yun Yu, there are many people coveting this position. In the future, you You still have to be very cautious.”
Hong Lang nodded heavily.
Yun Qing felt that the atmosphere was too dignified, and hurriedly said: "Your grandfather decided to canonize you as a great-grandson, and he has asked Qin Tianjian to choose the auspicious day for the auspicious day."
Qin Tianjian quickly fixed the date, which will be on the sixth day of May.
Yun Qing said to Yu Xi: "I haven't seen Chang Sheng for many years, this time Hong Lang canonized him as grandson, let him come back too!"
Yuxi smiled and said: "Not only let Changsheng come back, Qirui and their father and son will also come back."
Yun Qing said: "I'm eighty-six, and I haven't lived for a few years. This time Qi Rui came back and asked him not to leave. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him for the last time when I die."
Yu Xi nodded and said: "Let Qi Rui stay in the capital after he comes back this time, and we can see him anytime in the future." Yun Qing fell ill last year, and his health became worse and worse. Therefore, no matter what request he makes now, Yuxi will agree.
Yun Qing was overjoyed: "When they all come back, I will have a good drink."
"Okay. There is still a lot of good wine in the wine cellar of Baihuayuan. When they come back, I will open a few jars, so that you can have a good drink with them."
Hearing this, Yun Qing sighed with emotion: "I'm old, I can't drink anymore." He can only take a couple of sips at most now, and he would choke if he drank too much.
Thinking of this, Yun Qing said with a bitter face: "It's not good to be old. Back then, I drank a jar of wine in a few sips."
Yuxi smiled and said: "Bag again. Back then in Yucheng, you were so poor that you couldn't even eat, how could you have jars of wine?" After getting married, Yuxi didn't stop him from drinking, but she wouldn't let him drink too much drink.
Yun Qing laughed twice and said: "I went to the tavern to drink when I got the military salary, but it was all behind Uncle Huo's back. Among our group, the army drinks the most, and there is nothing to do with a jar of wine." He After drinking a jar of wine, he fell down.
Yuxi is not trying to expose him. Given Yunqing's situation at the time, how could he dare to get drunk outside? If he was really drunk, he might have been killed in a drunken dream.
At the end of April, Changsheng returned to the capital. His wife and the two children below are still on the way and have not arrived in Beijing. When they arrived in Beijing, they first went back to the Dachang Princess' mansion to wash up, and then went to the palace to meet Yunqing and Yuxi.
Although Changsheng was clean-shaven, his skin was tanned and his face looked vicissitudes.
Looking at him, Yun Qing was surprised and said: "The last time I came back was still white and tender, why is it so dark now?"
Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help looking at Yuxi. Since he went to Tongcheng, his life has never been in vain.
Yuxi whispered: "Your grandfather doesn't have a good memory, he probably remembered what you looked like before you went to Tongcheng." Since the beginning of the year, Yunqing's memory has occasionally become confused.
Changsheng's nose was sore, he held Yunqing's hand and smiled while enduring his discomfort: "Grandfather, do you think I look good now, or is it white and tender?"
Without even thinking about it, Yun Qing said: "It goes without saying, of course it looks better now, with a manly air. It's white and tender, as ugly as a woman."
Yuxi smiled lightly and said: "Yes! I think back in Yucheng, you came to see me with a beard and coarse clothes without even washing your face. You looked like a bandit. Fortunately, I was brave. Otherwise, you will be scared to death."
Yun Qing immediately retorted: "Nonsense, I wasn't wearing coarse clothes at the time, I was obviously wearing a military uniform with a leopard embroidered on it." The clothes were worn on the body, not to mention how imposing.
Yu Xi said happily: "That's my memory."
Yun Qing said arrogantly: "I also said that I have a bad memory and always confuse things. It is obviously because of your bad memory. Such an important thing, you have forgotten it."
After saying a few words, Yunqing felt a little sleepy.
After he fell asleep, Yuxi and Changsheng said: "Your grandfather caught cold a few days ago, so he doesn't have much energy."
"Grandma, you and grandpa must be on good terms." They haven't seen each other for three years, and the two old people have aged a lot.
Yuxi smiled and said: "When you return to Beijing this time, you should stay in the capital for more time. In your free time, bring your wife and children to visit us. Maybe next time you come back, your grandfather and I will not be here."
Changsheng choked up and said, "Grandmother, you and grandfather must live a long life."
Yu Xi shook her head with a smile and said: "If you are suffering from illness all over your body, you might as well go there earlier, so that you will suffer less." When Yun Qing was sick, his whole body was in pain. Yuxi knew that this was the sequelae of injury when she was young, so she didn't ask Yunqing to live a long life, but only hoped that he would suffer less torture.
Changsheng's tears came: "Grandmother..."
Yuxi waved her hand and said, "There's no need to do this, people are bound to die, and your grandfather and I can't avoid this. But as long as we're happy while we're alive, we don't have any regrets."
Changsheng cried so much that he couldn't speak.
Yu Xi smiled and said: "You haven't gone to see your uncle before entering the palace, have you? Go to see him first, and come to the Compassionate Palace for lunch at noon."
Changsheng wiped away his tears and said, "Okay."
Yuxi had to take a nap every day, so Changsheng went home after lunch in the Compassionate Ning Palace.
As soon as I got home, I saw Zao Zao.
Seeing his red eyes, Zao Zao asked, "What's the matter? Did your grandmother scold you?" Her mother liked Changsheng the most, so she should be reluctant to scold her. As for his father, it's even more impossible.
Changsheng shook his head and said, "No. It's just that I feel uncomfortable seeing my grandfather and grandmother getting older. Mom, my grandfather's mental state is much worse than it was three years ago." Even my grandmother is not as energetic as before.
Zao Zao paused, and then said: "No one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death. What we can do is to spend more time with them." As long as he is not busy, Zao Zao will go to the palace to accompany the two elders. Liu'er, Qiyou and the others are all the same.
Changsheng hummed and said: "Grandmother also said, let me stay in the capital for a while. Mother, I plan to return to Tongcheng at the end of May."
Zaozao hummed and said, "Your grandfather and grandmother love you the most. You can't stay in the capital forever, so let Xiaosu and Feifei stay to fulfill your filial piety for you." Xiaosu's full name is Yin Xiaosu, Yin Zhaofeng His eldest granddaughter is also Changsheng's wife. And Feifei is the daughter of Changsheng.
Back then, Chang Sheng said that he wanted to marry Jing Shu, so he had been waiting for Jing Shu to grow up. It's a pity that Jingshu likes talented young wits, not martial arts like him. After Jingshu got engaged, he went to Tongcheng. Until the age of twenty-six, she married Yin Xiaosu according to Zao Zao's order. After marriage, the husband and wife are also affectionate and loving.
Changsheng naturally has no objection.
