Chapter 50 Insecurity
Ning'an Hall.
Concubine Beijing leaned on the brocade, her delicate jade face was full of melancholy, pinched her nose with her green-white jade fingers, sighed, lightly opened her red lips and said: "Brother Rong didn't know that he was doing this beforehand. say hi."
The sudden arrival of someone from the palace to pick up the Zhen paintings caught Princess Beijing a little off guard. At least she had to talk to her first so she wouldn't be in a hurry.
Nanny Rong, who was standing by, had her eyes changed. She thought about it for a moment, and then she came closer and said softly: "Princess, I should not say something that I shouldn't say. Our prince originally disagreed with Miss Zhen. You are the one who bears the burden of shaving your head." One end is hot.”
As an old man in the palace, Nanny Rong was aware of Shui Rong's attitude, but she couldn't say much because her own concubine had taken a liking to him.
When Princess Beijing heard this, she rolled her eyes at Nanny Rong angrily, and scolded her with a smile: "According to what you say, it's my fault."
Aunt Rong saw that the concubine was complaining, so she chuckled and joked: "How dare you, old slave? Our prince is a man of his own opinion. Earlier, I thought that this matter could not be done. Isn't this just because I'm interested in you? It’s hard for me to say anything, it’s not surprising that something like this happened now.”
"Haha, you old bastard, you can say things in hindsight." Concubine Beijing scolded with a smile, blaming Grandma Rong for hiding something.
Grandma Rong became angry when she heard the scolding, but she didn't care. It was because of the closeness that she spoke casually.
After laughing and scolding, Princess Beijing looked slightly worried and said leisurely: "Aunt Rong, do you think Brother Rong will blame me in his heart?"
Zhen Hua had her permission to enter the palace and lived in the palace. She had always tried her best to promote peace. Now that something like this happened, don't let Shui Rong complain about her unnecessary actions.
Hey, this doesn't come from my own belly. I am always cautious, for fear of ruining the relationship between mother and son.
Aunt Rong smiled and said: "My concubine, although the prince is not your biological son, he has always been very filial to you, and is closer to you than his biological son. How could he blame you for such a trivial matter, let alone The prince is an open-minded person and knows that you are thinking of him, so he is grateful in his heart!"
After all, the reason why Concubine Beijing promoted the marriage was to choose the most suitable daughter-in-law for Shui Rong. This was a mother's concern, and it is not surprising.
Concubine Beijing felt relieved after hearing this. Aunt Rong was right. Shui Rong had always been very filial and respected her very much. She would never blame her for this because she was too sensitive.
Thinking of Shui Rong's cute way of coaxing her by her side, Princess Beijing couldn't help but smile sweetly. Since her son was filial, a mother would naturally think more about him.
Princess Beijing, who had recovered, didn't know what she thought of again, and suddenly sighed: "The painting has a good appearance, why didn't Brother Rong take a fancy to it? This Brother Rong, too, didn't like to say it clearly earlier, so why not?" It will look like this now.”
Concubine Beijing really liked Zhen Hua, not to mention that the two of them complemented each other very well and were quite handsome. Without such a good daughter-in-law, she didn't know which girl could compare with her.
Grandma Rong was silent when she heard this. As a bystander, she knew very well about this matter. The prince had already expressed his position since the first time the Zhen family came to visit. However, her concubine thought that the prince was having a bad temper, so she did not He cared about it, and even did not say hello to the prince in advance about letting Miss Zhen enter the house. The matter was a foregone conclusion. How could the prince tell the concubine clearly? If it was serious, it would not be a slap in the face of the concubine and ruin the relationship between mother and son.
However, although Aunt Rong knew it in her heart, she seemed to find it hard to express it openly at this time. After all, there were complaints about Concubine Beijing in her words. It would be better to do less than to do more.
After a deep groan, Rong Cha changed the subject and said: "How can I guess the prince's thoughts accurately? Didn't he say that your majesty will grant you a marriage? We don't have to worry."
Concubine Beijing nodded slightly when she heard this. Aunt Rong was right. Shui Rong's marriage was for the emperor to choose among the beautiful girls, which was trouble-free. She was just afraid that the beautiful girl he chose would not be what he wanted, and his sweet son would not be what he wanted.
It's just that there's nothing you can do about worrying. No one wants this to be a gift of marriage, and there's no point in worrying about it.
"The prince is here."
At this time, the mother-in-law's voice came from outside the house, which made Princess Beijing stunned. The tea was already hot, so she comforted Hua'er, which was really faster.
Princess Beijing couldn't help but be stunned. Shui Rong opened the curtain and walked in. She stepped forward to greet her and said, "My child, please greet your mother."
After settling the matter with Zhen Hua, now it was time to appease his cheap lady. After all, seeing his bad expression earlier, Shui Rong guessed that his cheap lady was becoming sensitive again.
When Princess Beijing saw Shui Rong coming, she forgot all her worries and hurriedly asked Shui Rong to sit down beside her.
Facing Concubine Beijing's warm invitation, Shui Rong naturally would not refuse. Sitting next to Concubine Beijing, the fragrant breeze still hit her face.
When Grandma Rong saw this situation, she bowed her face and said, "Princess, Your Majesty, those little hooves are in chaos today, I go and take a look."
After the prince comforted her, the girl from the Zhen family came to the concubine. She must have had a personal talk with the concubine. It was not appropriate for her to stay here.
When Shui Rong heard the words, he looked at Aunt Rong, her little hooves were messy, she just loved to join in the fun. Although Aunt Rong was used to being kind, it was because she was facing him. In fact, this Aunt Rong was very powerful, Bei Concubine Jing was able to stabilize this large palace, mostly because of her help.
However, what happened today was indeed a bit too much, and I couldn't let the people below talk nonsense, so I smiled and responded: "Then I'll bother you, grandma. There's no need to punish me, just give me a scolding." It's all about rectification, but it's okay. Don't cause trouble, you need to be warned.
Seeing Shui Rong being so polite, Grandma Rong felt quite relieved and responded quickly: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. This is my duty. Don't worry, I will be measured."
Everyone in the palace knows that the prince has always been lenient and kind. Even if the people below him make mistakes, he will not punish them too harshly. If the punishment is too heavy, they will be resented.
Shui Rong nodded lightly when he heard the words. There was no need to punish the back house for some minor mistakes.
After Grandma Rong left, Shui Rong looked at Mingyan's widowed mother and said in a clear voice: "Mom, my cousin's matter is that my son did something wrong. I apologize to you."
No matter what the facts are, it is always right for Shui Rong to admit his mistakes first. There are thousands of mistakes, and mother is right. We can't let Concubine Beijing bow her head! As soon as Princess Beijing heard Shui Rong admit her mistake, she felt relieved immediately, and the corners of her mouth curved into a crescent moon. After all, she was a caring and good girl, so there was no way she could have any suspicion.
But Concubine Beijing still felt a little regretful in her heart. Her pretty eyebrows could not help but raise slightly, she reached out and touched her water-melted forehead with her green-white jade finger, and spat: "You still know that you are wrong, and you rejected the marriage without even saying hello." Yes, you have offended the old lady, let me see how you deal with it."
Now that the Zhen Hua matter is a foregone conclusion, Concubine Beijing has nothing to say, except that she has offended the old concubine, which is quite troublesome.
Feeling the softness remaining on his forehead, Shui Rou's expression was slightly strange. He groaned and said, "Mother, my child has told you that the Zhen family is not a good match. You think that my child has a bad temper, but you can't blame me. "
After Zhen Hua came back to the palace for the first time, Shui Rong made it clear to Princess Beijing, but Princess Beijing didn't take it seriously.
Upon hearing this, Princess Beijing looked at Shui Rong with full eyes, and said with a slightly aggrieved expression: "You are blaming your mother."
Shui Rong took a deep breath when he saw this. How could this be like his daughter's house? Where is the mother's majesty?
He took a gentle breath, feeling strange in his heart under the pressure of the water, and softly comforted: "The child can't blame the mother. It's just that the child has grown up and has his own ideas. You can't always treat me like a child."
Although Princess Beijing doted on Shui Rong, she always treated him like a child. It was also time to have a detailed discussion with Princess Beijing. After all, Shui Rong had taken over the palace at this time and she had to be the master of the family.
Moreover, it is inappropriate for Concubine Beijing to be so close to her. It is best for everyone to remind her to avoid her.
Hearing this, Princess Beijing looked at Shui Rong carefully with her bright eyes. Her eyebrows were as long as willows and her body was like a jade tree. She was really beautiful, and Shui Rong was usually gentle in temperament.
Facing such a perfect man, no woman can turn a blind eye, which makes people's hearts ripple.
Bah, what is she thinking? This is her son.
Concubine Beijing sighed softly in her heart, stretched out her hand to tuck the scattered green hair on her forehead behind her ears, and calmed down her mood. The Shui Rong at the moment really couldn't be treated like a child.
But even though she said this, Princess Beijing still felt a little disappointed, as if she had lost something, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
When Shui Rong saw this, he understood clearly. Faced with a grown up son, parents would inevitably feel sad, especially the stepson. Without that attachment, his heart felt empty.
Thinking of this, Shui Rong continued to comfort him: "My child has grown up and is able to protect you. You should be happy. Why are you still looking sad?"
For Concubine Beijing, because Shui Rong is a stepson, she lacks the so-called sense of security and is afraid that there will be a gap between mother and son. What Shui Rong wants to do is to fill in the sense of security that Concubine Beijing lacks.
Princess Beijing was suddenly surprised when she heard this. She was originally worried that the palace would not have a pillar and would be missed by others. Now that her son has grown up and is filial, she should be happy.
Thinking of this, the gloom in Princess Beijing's heart was swept away, and her gaze towards Shui Rong became more and more loving. She saw that she gently stretched out her hand to straighten the ends of Shui Rong's hair scattered on her forehead, and said warmly: "That's what you said. , now that you have grown up, you should make the decision, I won’t say much about the Zhen family’s affairs, you just have to know what’s going on.”
Although he offended the old concubine in the palace, the Beijing Palace was not afraid.
Seeing that Concubine Beijing was sensible, Shui Rong couldn't help but feel relieved. She said hello in advance so that things could be arranged easily in the future.
It's just that Princess Beijing's affectionate gestures still treated him as a child, which made Shui Rong not know what to say. The widowed mother was attached to her stepson, but she didn't have a sense of security, which was understandable. Moreover, Shui Rong also enjoyed it in his heart. , no need to correct it. At this time, Nanny Rong came back again. Seeing Nanny Rong's face look strange, Shui Rong frowned and asked, "Nanny, what happened?"
Aunt Rong groaned after hearing this and said softly: "Your Majesty, Miss Zhen followed that nanny into the palace."
Shui Rong raised his eyes and looked at Aunt Rong, but didn't say anything. It seemed that Zhen Hua was still unwilling to be a concubine!
