Chapter 152 You Love Me and I Love Him
[Princess, you are so arrogant again]
[Princess, do you have a crush on Lao Xiao? ]
[Lao Xiao: Talk more, I love to hear it, I love to hear my wife praise me]
[The princess doesn’t need to say the second half of the sentence, hahahaha]
Qiao Qingfeng also noticed that Zhao Yue, who used to curse Xiao Tingye whenever he mentioned him, would now actually defend Xiao Tingye... It was really rare.
Maybe it's because they have been rivals for a long time and they feel a sense of mutual respect?
He glanced at Lin Zhaoyue, whose expression seemed a little off, and couldn't help but smile.
Why did he smell an unusual scent from these two people?
He deliberately brought it up, "That day, during the three-court trial, was Lord Xiao intentionally helping you?"
Lin Zhaoyue knew what her grandfather was talking about.
During the three-court trial that day, Xiao Tingye testified about the identities of the three assassins.
He did not comment on the case.
But just a few simple words confirmed their identities.
Others would never think that he was helping themselves.
But in her opinion, Xiao Tingye was not entirely trying to help her.
Xiao Tingye also wants to deal with Xiling.
They have a common goal, which is to reduce the power of the feudal lords.
It would be more appropriate to say that it is cooperation.
So she replied, "It's just what you need."
Hearing this, Qiao Qingfeng didn't ask any more questions.
"Why did Xiao Tingye suddenly visit the Duke's Mansion today?" Lin Zhaoyue suddenly asked curiously.
Qiao Qingfeng replied casually, "I just came to take a walk and asked a few questions about your mother. We also discussed the terrain and defense issues of Xiling. Nothing special."
Lin Zhaoyue was a little confused. Why did Xiao Ting come to inquire about her mother's affairs at night?
"You came to see grandpa today, so you must have something else to do, right?" Qiao Qingfeng asked.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have specifically driven Xiao Tingye away.
There must be something that he is not comfortable knowing.
Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled slightly, "As expected, nothing can escape grandpa's eyes."
Qiao Qingfeng's eyes were filled with doting, "You are always good at saying nice things."
Lin Zhaoyue also smiled, and then slowly said, "To be honest with you, Grandpa, I came here today to ask about the Queen Mother."
Qiao Qingfeng was puzzled, "Your mother?"
Zhao Yue nodded. "I want to know what grudges there were between my mother, my father, Lu Shi, and the Queen Mother when she was young, or what kind of love and hatred they had with each other?"
These things are difficult to investigate, and some of the relationships are private, and they happened twenty years ago.
Instead of asking other people, it’s better to ask grandpa directly.
It just so happened that she was going to visit anyway.
So I asked by the way.
[So this is what the princess wants to ask]
[Your mom, your dad, and your Lu Chenzhou's dad, the relationship is that you love me and I love him]
[Sisters, are you ready to listen to gossip?]
[The small bench melon seeds are all ready, if you want to dig, please dig deep]
[Although I know their relationship, the original text doesn't go into detail. Follow the princess to trigger a new plot.]
Although Qiao Qingfeng was puzzled as to why Lin Zhaoyue suddenly asked about this, he still recalled it.
"Back then, your father was still the crown prince, and your mother followed me to fight on the border all day long. That's where Lu Shi met your mother. Lu Shi was still a teenager, and he and Qin'er would often compete in martial arts, even on the battlefield, to determine victory or defeat."
He smiled as he spoke, "They both have the heart of a young man, but it's also the case that young men are most prone to love. At that time, I could see that Lu Shi liked your mother. But he never dared to say it, and never opened his mouth.
Your mother... did have some feelings for him at first. But Lu Shi... had a strange personality. Your mother is a straightforward person, so she quickly lost interest in him."
At this point, he paused for a moment, "Later, when we returned to the capital, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who personally welcomed us. He fell in love with Qin'er at first sight and began to appear in front of Qin'er more frequently."
"Qin'er loved riding and archery, so he would come to her every day with his horse, saying he wanted to race with her. If he lost, he would insist on staying in our house and asking Qin'er to teach him. Qin'er had never seen such a scoundrel before, and after a few interactions, she began to develop feelings for the prince.
And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was even more blatantly partial to Qin Er. At that time, he was well-known throughout the capital.
When talking about what happened to his daughter back then, Qiao Qingfeng's expression softened a lot.
He also lost his usual dignity.
It's just an old father's remembrance of his daughter.
This was the first time that Lin Zhaoyue learned about what happened between her father and mother.
My father was quite shameless back then.
"But at this time, Lu Shi had changed his mind. He also began to pursue Qin'er and even wanted to marry her. But Qin'er's heart was no longer with him, so Lu Shi's relationship with the prince was not very good at that time. It seems that the two of them even had a fight.
Not long after that, the prince proposed to marry your mother as his princess.
In fact, I didn't want your mother to marry the prince. She should have been a free eagle, not bound within the palace walls."
He said solemnly, "But the Crown Prince promised that he would not deprive your mother of her freedom. She could still go to the battlefield and be a general... so Qin'er willingly married him. Later, it turned out to be true. He did not restrict your mother's freedom and even encouraged her to enter the court. But your mother..."
Lin Zhaoyue chuckled, "But Queen Mother is willing to give up her freedom for him, right?"
Qiao Qingfeng sighed and nodded, "She became an admired Crown Princess, a virtuous Queen, and even after becoming Queen, she personally found a concubine for your father... Come to think of it, I heard that your father had a fuss about your mother finding a concubine for him.
However, although your father is not the only one who loves your mother, he only loves your mother. I can see this."
"I once asked your mother why she was willing to give up her freedom. She said that if you love someone, you must love what they love. She loved your father, and therefore she also loved his kingdom.
Only when the country is stable can the people live and work in peace and contentment.
As long as your father has her in his heart and has never spoken ill of her, she is willing to sacrifice some of her possessiveness towards him to fulfill his wish."
【Are you a little bit in love? 】
[Don't use modern thinking to criticize the feudal dynasty. The Queen Mother was clearly a person of great love.]
[How about someone like the heroine? Let the ungrateful person give up his responsibilities and kingdom for her?]
[In fact, it’s because my father is not strong enough. If he is strong enough, it is not impossible to disband the harem.]
[Come on, the main purpose of a harem is to have children, okay? If the queen only has one child, and then dies, who will inherit the throne? Without a crown prince, the court will be in chaos, and the country will have to change its name...]
[That makes sense...]
[I'm wondering... is it because of the princess that the villain is able to pursue a career in politics?]
