Chapter 9 The Birth Mother
Zhu Yuancai left the yard and saw Chu Tingchuan walking down the path to the bottom of the banyan tree. He looked up and saw her, raised his hand at her, and accelerated his pace.
Everyone in the family knew the relationship between Chu Tingchuan and his own girl. This was no longer a secret. They were used to it and were very agile. At this time, even Green Yi had already used the excuse to pour tea and run away.
Jin Chang scratched his head. After returning to the capital, he returned to Chu Tingchuan. He hadn't seen Zhu Yuan for several days.
Now that everyone has run away, what about him, should he stay or follow him?
Chu Tingchuan ignored him and saw that Zhu Yuan seemed to be in a good mood today, so he asked her: "Didn't your mother make things difficult for you?"
Why do you still laugh?
Zhu Yuan was a little surprised.
Chu Tingchuan turned out to be for Concubine Gong.
She hesitated a little.
Concubine Gong is narrow-minded, not broad-minded, and not smart. She can only ruin anything after her hands. Just like this move, if the emperor really gives an order to marry, she will be Concubine Gong's legitimate daughter-in-law in the future.
But Concubine Gong embarrassed her in person. Wouldn’t it be difficult to get along with each other in the future?
But Concubine Gong could not have imagined it at all.
I didn't expect that if Zhu Yuan contradicted her on the spot, her face would be even more lost, and it would be said that Chu Tingchuan was blind.
It's really sad.
She didn't know if she should tell Chu Tingchuan truthfully.
After all, these difficulties were really not a big deal for her, especially this time, she just said a few more words and let the Empress Dowager calm Concubine Gong.
It is not difficult to deal with Concubine Gong.
But the embarrassment is that Concubine Gong is Chu Tingchuan's biological mother.
She didn't want to make Chu Tingchuan embarrassed.
As if he saw Zhu Yuan’s thoughts, the expression on Chu Tingchuan’s face became cold and hard for a moment. He reached out and rubbed Zhu Yuan’s hair, took a breath and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t be able to do it anymore, I won’t make you wronged again.”
Zhu Yuan felt something was wrong when he heard it. He raised his head and saw Chu Tingchuan's serious expression. He couldn't help but say, "It's not that serious. In fact, Concubine Gong is just outspoken. After all, she is also for your own good. She thinks you deserve better. To be honest, most of the mothers in this world are thinking so, not only Concubine Gong is like this."
But Chu Tingchuan treated this matter as a huge thing, and Zhu Yuan was still a little secretly happy.
No one doesn’t like being valued everywhere. If there is, it’s just because it’s unlikely to get it.
She whispered to Chu Tingchuan: "And the Queen Mother has scolded her."
All the palace ladies around him have changed, and Concubine Gong himself is not favored, so her future movements are naturally restricted.
Zhu Yuan felt that this price was enough.
Chu Tingchuan couldn't tell what he felt. He and Zhu Yuan walked to the pavilion and sat down. After a while, he whispered: "Since I was a child, I was very afraid of her."
Zhu Yuan had never heard Chu Tingchuan mention childhood.
She couldn't help but look up at Chu Tingchuan.
Chu Tingchuan's expression was cold and indifferent, and he was completely different from the warmth he used to be. His tone also became low: "My mother had no status in the first seven years of giving birth to me. Fortunately, others had to lay a palace and have a status even if they had no children, but she didn't. She clearly gave birth to me, but I couldn't get what she deserved for her. Therefore, she was particularly conflicted, both loving me and hating me."
Zhu Yuan was silent.
She used to think that Chu Tingchuan and Concubine Gong had something wrong with each other.
The two of them seemed to be close, but they were extremely alienated.
Chu Tingchuan respected her, but if you say how close you are, you are not as good as Queen Wei. It turns out that there is really a reason for this.
"When she was happy, she hugged me and said I was everything to her. When she was unhappy, she pinched me and beat me and scolded me, thinking that I was a disaster star. If she hadn't given birth to me, she might have been released from the palace at the age of 25. Maybe she would have another life, but if she gave birth to me, she would have been trapped all her life." Chu Tingchuan sneered, and her tone was a little self-deprecating: "I was in poor health since I was a child. I was not really weak at birth. She felt that I was finally the son of my father and a prince. When I was sick, they had to see me, so she often refused to let her wet nurse put on clothes and cover me with quilts, and asked me to get sick from time to time. If the empress dowager or the queen took care of her, she would be kind to me for a long time, but if not, she would hysterically scold me for being useless..."
Zhu Yuan really couldn't imagine it.
She is also a mother, a mother, how could she treat her children like this?
Even if the hardship of her previous life was, she never thought of torture her own bones and blood to take revenge on King Xiang.
Concubine Gong is like this!
How can she be a mother?!
Chu Tingchuan had never shown such a side. Zhu Yuan used to think that he was perfect and had no shortcomings. He didn't have the dandy aura of those playboys, and those irritable and gloomy were far from him...
But it turns out that his childhood was even harder than he thought.
At that time, Concubine Sheng had already regarded him as a thorn in her eyes, but even his own mother looked like that!
She felt sore and ache in her heart. She couldn't help but reach out to hold Chu Tingchuan's hand and said slowly: "It's all over, Your Highness, everything is all over."
Chu Tingchuan smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "No, she never saw the benefits for some reason. I once went to see the mother's mother after talking to her deeply, and said the same thing as her, but the mother listened to it, but she didn't. She knew exactly how important you were in my heart, but she could still put aside my words and ask for trouble for you..."
Fortunately, it was Zhu Yuan.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuan is firm in his heart and their relationship has come naturally, what if not?
Chu Tingchuan held Zhu Yuan's hand tightly, and said a little tired, "What the old lady said is that she has such a character and can't be the burden of the mother of the country in the future. In the future, the old lady will find a name to open a Buddhist temple in the palace, and she will pay tribute to the Buddha with all her heart in the future."
It's better than being able to make things difficult for people.
Zhu Yuan frowned.
The old lady can temporarily suppress Concubine Gong, but how can the old lady get old? She is already very old.
Concubine Gong has always been Chu Tingchuan's serious biological mother.
The Great Zhou ruled the world with filial piety. Concubine Gong always needs to be upgraded in the future. She can trap her for a while. Can she trap her for a lifetime?
But Chu Tingchuan was very excited and angry now. Zhu Yuan didn't want to discuss this matter with him at this time to make him unhappy, so he just nodded and asked Chu Tingchuan again: "How is the investigation of Mr. Xu's second incident?"
