bamboo forest.
The winding path leads to a secluded place.
After entering the forest and walking for a while, you will see a wooden house with a yard. It is like a paradise, private and peaceful.
Just as I got closer, I heard a voice coming from the courtyard:
“Oh no!”
Chu Li's expression changed in shock:
"Mother!"
He immediately shook off Chu Dichi's hand, ran inside quickly, and broke open the wooden door, only to see...
In the vegetable garden.
Concubine Wen tied up her hair, rolled up her sleeves, and tried to dig up the pepper tree. Xie Enhong was so frightened that he quickly stopped her:
“That’s not the case!”
Just as he stopped Concubine Wen, Concubine Xin behind him had already picked up the hoe and started pulling the rapeseed for him.
"My rapeseed!"
Xie Enhong quickly turned around, but Concubine Wen pulled out the pepper tree for him.
"Oh my chili!"
Concubine Xin waved her hand and said, "General Xie, you're welcome. Although we have lived in the harem for a long time, we are not pampered. Let alone farm work, even if we ask Sister Wen to plow the land, she can plow two acres in one go."
Concubine Wen: "?"
Who are you talking about?
Who do you think can plow two acres of land in one breath?
Xie Enhong is really Amitabha:
"My two ladies, let me do the rough work! If you have nothing to do, why not try embroidering?"
Please help me.
Concubine Wen said, "General Xie is old and has difficulty walking. We two are willing to help you with the work. You don't have to thank me."
Concubine Xin nodded:
"We are already a nuisance to you for living here. If you don't let us do anything, won't we feel at ease?"
Xie Enhong looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes.
He just wants to enjoy his old age...
Chu Li: "...Mother."
"Huh?"
Concubine Wen turned her head subconsciously, extremely surprised, "Li'er!"
"Mother, foster father, Empress Xin."
"Tanuki-chan!"
Concubine Wen dropped the work in her hands, ran over quickly, and hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Are you okay? Are you not injured? How are you? Let mother take a look!"
She was so anxious!
That day, Chu Li gave an urgent order to send Concubine Wen and Concubine Xin to Xie Enhong and assigned people to protect them.
The two had already heard about the palace coup and spent every day in worry.
Chu Li patted her back and said with a smile:
"It's all right now. Eighth brother is also fine. It's all over."
Not far away, Concubine Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Concubine Wen's eyes were moist:
"Silly child, after such a big incident, you sent us all away and stayed in that dangerous place by yourself. I have nightmares every night, fearing that something bad happened to you..."
"Alright, mother, let's not talk about the past. I see you are here with your adoptive father, and your adoptive father..."
Um.
How to say it.
My adoptive father was an old man, but he was so driven that he became very lively.
Chu Li said in a subtle way: "Have you caused trouble for my godfather?"
Concubine Wen immediately waved her hands: "What nonsense are you talking about? Sister Xin and I started working on the first day we lived here. We have never been idle for a single day."
Xin Fei nodded and added:
"Yes, people are grateful for what they have received, and we can only feel at ease if we do some work."
"Is that so, General Xie?"
Xie Enhong: “…”
Chu Dichi looked at his rotten tomato expression and smiled with his thin lips: "Stop standing and talking."
Go inside.
The weather in the mountains was much colder than in the capital. A charcoal brazier had been lit in the house, and the blazing fire made the whole house warm.
On the first day of the new year, make some hot tea and pour it out one by one.
At that time, in addition to sending Concubine Wen and Concubine Xin out of the palace, they also brought Chuyi and six other people to serve them.
Everyone sat around the brazier, warming themselves by the fire and drinking tea. Each of them was humble and just like an ordinary family.
Concubine Wen held Chu Li's hand and asked worriedly about what happened in the past few days:
"Have the enemy troops retreated?"
"Will you call back?"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Mother, I don't understand what you are asking. I will go back and ask my eighth brother, and then I will give you an answer."
"You don't know? Doesn't the Regent know either?"
Concubine Wen didn't believe it.
Chu Di sat upright, his brows serious: "I really don't know."
Concubine Wen believed it.
In fact, Chu Li didn't want to talk to her about the country and the war, for fear of causing her to worry, because... the war was far from over.
The Nanman retreated, King Xiaoyao concealed his abilities, and Chu Yeli would not give up easily.
There are hidden dangers everywhere.
"Then when will we return to the palace?" asked Concubine Xin.
Chu Li glanced at Chu Dichi, and Chu Dichi replied:
"It's like this, Empress Xin, the emperor has recently taken in five concubines to take over the harem. The location of the palaces in the harem has changed and is being adjusted."
When new concubines entered the harem, Concubine Wen, Concubine Xin and other concubines of the previous emperor had to give up their positions.
Logically speaking, given their identities, they should live in Shoukang Palace.
However, Shoukang Palace has always been inhabited by the former empress dowager, now the grand empress dowager.
Still need to adjust.
Concubine Xin understood and said with a smile, "Then let's wait a few more days. As long as Sister Wen and I can live together, it doesn't matter which palace we live in."
I didn’t expect that Aotian already has concubines.
I'm afraid that by the end of next year, she will be able to hold her grandson!
"I came here for another important matter."
Chu Dichi solemnly took out the red booklet from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands, "Xiao Jiu and I know each other well, and we are willing to become friends and be together forever. Please allow us to do so, Concubine Wen!"
Concubine Wen was slightly surprised, but it was also expected.
General Xie joked, "The Prince Regent is here to ask for a title. I was wondering why the magpies were chirping on the branches so early this morning."
Chu Li blushed:
"My godfather would joke, where did the magpies come from in the middle of winter?"
"Hahaha!"
Concubine Wen accepted the gift and said, "I respect Li'er's choice in everything. As long as you young people live well, I will be relieved."
"Don't worry, mother. I will never let Xiaojiu down in this life." Chu Dichi quickly changed his words.
Chu Li turned his head and looked at him:
"Me too."
I wish to win the heart of one person and stay with him till we are old.
Concubine Xin smiled from ear to ear: "Congratulations, sister Wen, for having such a good son-in-law. Maybe next year we can have a grandchild together!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Wen couldn't help but laugh:
"During this time, I happened to be sewing a wedding dress for Li'er myself."
Concubine Xin: "I'll help you. When I was still a married woman, I was very good at needlework."
The whole room was filled with laughter, the charcoal fire was warm, and everyone was having a great time.
Hold grandchildren?
Chu Li touched the tip of his nose and glanced at Chu Dichi out of the corner of his eye.
Chu Di looked at his nose slowly, and then at his mouth from his nose, sitting upright and properly.
It’s still unclear who will hold whose grandchild…
