Going to Yutang Palace again seemed like a lifetime ago.
Is mother okay?
Do you miss her?
Do you cry every day?
My mother has never been a strong person.
Chu Li stood outside hesitantly, feeling a little timid as if "the closer you are to home, the more nervous you become".
"Come in." Chu Dichi patted her back gently, "Empress Wen misses you very much."
"It's my fault for being unfilial."
Not only could he not fulfill his filial duties to his parents, but he also had to worry about Concubine Wen seeing her son die before her.
From now on, she will be filial to her mother.
Chu Li took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and walked in with his head held high. He only heard a loud voice from inside:
"That's a mistake!"
Concubine Wen stood up and pushed down the mahjong cards.
"Silver, give me silver!"
The three concubines looked at her cards and said with a sour look on their faces: "Today's luck is not good."
"I've already lost three taels of silver."
"Sister Wen Fei, why don't you give in to us at all?"
While collecting the money, Concubine Wen smiled and said, "This morning, a magpie chirped outside the window. Something good is bound to happen today."
"Mother."
Who is calling her?
She held a handful of banknotes in her hand, looked back inadvertently, and her eyes suddenly widened.
The entire Yutang Palace was stunned.
Chu Li's deep longing was mixed with a complicated expression, "Mother, you seem to have gained a lot of weight while I was away."
Crash!
Concubine Wen was shocked, and the banknotes in her hand fell to the ground. "You...you are..."
"Mother, I am Chu Li!"
"Tanuki-chan?"
Concubine Wen couldn't believe it. She staggered seven or eight steps before running up to her and touched her face, her neck, and her hands in surprise.
"You...you are not dead...my son!"
"Mother!"
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
The concubines and palace maids were extremely shocked.
The ninth prince is a girl?
However, when they saw the Regent standing nearby, wearing clothes of the same color and pattern as the Ninth Prince, they swallowed their words silently.
Never mind whether the Ninth Prince is a woman or not. Even if she soars to the sky, no one would dare to direct her.
First, the Regent.
Secondly, Prince Xian is now the new emperor. With the relationship between the two, Prince Xian is in power and has the final say over the entire Chu State. What’s the difference?
What a pity.
If you don't have enough power, you can only shut up.
After the mother and daughter calmed down a little, Chu Dichi stepped forward and said, "Mother, stop standing and talking."
Concubine Wen looked up suddenly, flattered:
"What did you call me?"
Chu Li glared at him, "Mother, don't pay attention to him."
“You…you guys…”
"Yes, we want to form a family, and I hope mother can help us," Chu Dichi held her hand, "I will do everything I can to treat her well, not let her get hurt, and not let anyone bully her. As long as mother agrees, I will live up to your expectations."
Concubine Wen opened her mouth wide.
In just one day, there were two shocking events.
The Regent actually likes Li'er!
When did the two of them get together?
Chu Li bit her lower lip lightly. It was the first time she said such words in front of her elders, so she naturally felt a little embarrassed.
"Uncle, I don't have such thoughts right now."
"Why?"
"The situation is uncertain, with internal and external troubles, and Qin Muyu is still stationed in the war zone. So many soldiers are facing war, I can't say this with peace of mind for the time being."
Chu Dichi clenched his palms.
It turns out that he was worried about Major General Qin!
Even though we are so far apart, I still miss you!
Shake hands!
He clenched his hands!
He broke his back teeth!
His face was extremely gentle: "Don't worry, these problems will be solved sooner or later. When the dust settles, we will get married, okay?"
Chu Li was coy, "Besides, plans can't keep up with changes."
"What else can change?"
Is she going to change her mind?
"Besides, I need to have lunch with my mother, so you can go and do your work first."
Couldn't he stay for dinner?
"We, mother and daughter, need to have a private conversation."
That's right.
Before Chu Di Chi left, he whispered to Chu Li: "Say good things about me in front of Mother, saying that I cook, do housework, clean, and make the bed. I obey your orders and accomplish my mission. I always keep my word."
"..."
Concubine Wen was so shocked that she was speechless. She held Chu Li's hand and talked to him for the entire afternoon.
Chu Li recounted roughly what had happened in the past.
It was not until the evening that Concubine Wen came to her senses. She decided to go to Tianling Temple the next day to worship the Buddha and thank God for his blessing.
She supported Chu Li's opinion regarding her marriage to the Regent.
Chu Li can get married if she wants to, and not get married if she doesn’t want to. She doesn’t care at all.
Chu Li was touched.
Being with loved ones, the sense of belonging to the home harbor fills my heart.
As soon as Chu Li left, Concubine Wen was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She turned around and looked for Concubine Xin. Here, Concubine Xin had already learned about Chu Li from Chu Aotian.
The two met.
Xin Fei happily took her hand:
"Sister Wen, you gave birth to a good daughter and supported my son. I am so grateful to you! Tonight, I have asked the emperor to confer the title of empress dowager on us both. Tomorrow the Ministry of Rites will send the proposed titles to us for selection."
Whether or not Concubine Wen can become the empress dowager is not that important.
"Sister Xin, let me tell you... Come, sit down."
Talk about marriage.
Xin Fei agreed: "This is a good thing!"
"But Li Er won't give in. She doesn't agree."
"How difficult is this? Just ask the Emperor to grant them marriage, and it will be done. As the saying goes, you raise a child for a thousand days and use him for a moment. If you don't use him now, when will you use him?"
"Sister Xin, that's a good idea!"
"Hahaha!"
The two held hands and laughed.
The King of Chu is paralyzed, his son and daughter are promising, his son-in-law is a regent with a very high position, and she is the Queen Mother with endless money. What's more, they are still young, only in their thirties... These days are simply too good to be true!
So beautiful!
This is the life a successful woman should enjoy.
This way.
Chu Li accompanied Concubine Wen for a whole day and was about to return to the Coral Waterside Pavilion, but unexpectedly he was called away by Chu Aotian again.
Some time ago, Chu Aotian was poisoned and fell into a coma. Now that he has ascended the throne and his body has recovered a little, he must pull her aside and tell her in detail what had happened in the past few months.
So, she repeated to Chu Aotian what she had said to Concubine Wen.
He spoke for two and a half hours in one breath, and the corners of his mouth were dry and bubbling.
After hearing this ups and downs, life and death story, Chu Aotian was worried, but his expression was a little complicated:
“Nine…nine…”
His mouth was slightly open, but no sound came out for a long time, as if his throat was being strangled.
"Nine……"
He hesitated several times to speak.
Chu Li noticed: "What's wrong?"
Chu Aotian opened his mouth and lost his voice: "..."
Chu Li was worried: "What happened? Is Eighth Brother still being distant with me?"
Chu Aotian looked at her young and beautiful face, who was fifteen days younger than himself. There were a few words stuck in his throat. He wanted to say them several times, but swallowed them back several times.
Finally, with Chu Li's encouragement, he let out two farts until his face turned red:
"Auntie...Auntie."
