"But..." Lin Chunhuan was not reassured by the emperor's statement, but became more and more entangled, "After all, I am married for the second time. I am afraid that the Queen Mother will feel that I am charming and seduces the Lord, and she will be unhappy."
Lin Chunhuan's concerns were actually the emperor's concerns.
So when he sent a letter to Qinhua Mountain, he only said that he wanted to establish a queen, but did not clearly explain Lin Chunhuan's identity, because he was afraid that the queen mother would have a grudge against this future daughter-in-law.
He just wanted to wait until everything settled, and then go to Qinhua Mountain in person to explain to his mother.
Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Even though the Queen Mother no longer cared about worldly affairs, she was still very concerned about his son.
"Actually."
The emperor took a deep breath and looked at Lin Chunhuan with a heavy look, "The world only knows that I was not close to women in the past, but they don't know the reason. There are some things that I have hidden in my heart. After more than ten years, now that I have decided to marry you, I should tell you about it. "
Marrying a wife...
The emperor is talking about marrying a wife, not establishing a queen.
Lin Chunhuan's heart was touched for a moment, but soon, she calmed down the emotion and looked at the emperor and nodded lightly.
"My past is known to the whole world. It is not a secret. It's just that most people in the world only know one part. When my mother and I were kicked out of the house by that poisonous woman, there was a severe drought."
"My mother and her daughter had an abortion. People like me can’t lift anything with their hands or carry it on their shoulders. It’s so difficult to support yourself in such troubled times and support such a burden like me.”
Lin Chunhuan nodded again.
Even if the emperor didn't say it, she could still imagine the hardships involved, not to mention that the world is harsh on women, and the life of the Queen Mother would only be harder than she imagined!
“I remember one year, my family could only drink porridge for a long time. It was the kind of porridge that was so thin that you could clearly count the rice grains. My mother went out to find a job every day, but at that time, Men who are full of strength are lining up to get the job. Even the most painful and tiring work is not the mother’s turn. ”
“The ground was so dry that nothing could be grown, and countless people died of starvation.”
“Finally one day, the rice jar at home reached the bottom, and not a single grain of grain could be found. "
After saying this, Lin Chunhuan was suddenly shocked. He didn't know what the emperor recalled, and his emotions gradually became violent and almost uncontrollable.
A pair of eyes also turned red in just a moment!
“I saw with my own eyes that a man entered the queen’s bedroom... Huan’er, I was only eight years old at that time, eight years old!”
Her left hand was so painful that it hurt, but Lin Chunhuan didn't even dare to move. She could feel the sadness, anger and helplessness in the emperor's heart, not only for the Queen Mother, but also for the general environment.
“The man smiled at me after he came out and left a whole piece of meat cake, but I couldn’t do anything...”
“Later, the number of people who came to the house became more and more... More and more people came, some of them would leave some copper coins, most of them would be some grain, a small half bag of potatoes, three or four stalks of corn, and I could only listen to the painful and suppressed sobs of the queen mother in the back room, and swallow those... those... The queen sold her body to get food.”
The emperor stopped talking, and the sobs in his throat prevented him from speaking again.
The atmosphere in the room was heavy, and Lin Chunhuan bit her lip tightly, her whole heart filled with sourness.
"Huan'er, will you look down on my weakness and the queen mother because of this?" "No." Lin Chunhuan shook his head repeatedly, "Of course not! I used to only respect the queen mother, but now that I know this past, I admire the queen mother from the bottom of my heart. ! ”
“To be fair, I think I am tough, but compared with the Queen Mother, she is very petty. Sir, not every woman can be a Queen Mother in that environment. The empress’s decision to be brave is the greatest thing in this world!”
“As for weakness, it’s out of the question. What can an eight-year-old baby do without this? He felt unwilling to do so. He may not be able to achieve what he has achieved today, and how can the people live such a stable life now? "
That night, the emperor said many things, like. It is to pour out all the depression of these years. It happens that Lin Chunhuan is a very good listener.
From the look in the emperor's eyes when he left, Lin Chunhuan could see that it was only at this moment that the emperor really regarded her as someone he would join hands with for the rest of his life.
After the emperor left, Lin Chunhuan sat quietly in the house. At night, she did not ask anyone to light a lamp. It seemed that there were thousands of thoughts clamoring in her mind.
No wonder the emperor has been completely uninterested in women for so many years. Now it seems that it is the experience of the Queen Mother when she was young, which left a very serious psychological shadow on the eight-year-old child.
Before this, she had always thought that the emperor would appear in Chitose Mansion that day, and she was the one who really understood the emperor's thoughts, but today she heard it.
The emperor saved her, but Yuan Shaojun and the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Fuzhong were the ones who stopped her.
It was clear that the one who saved was the Queen Mother at that time, and the one who stopped was the man who left the meat biscuits!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Chunhuan stood up and asked someone to light the lamp. She had taken it for granted before. She must be more cautious in her actions in the future, and she should think carefully about the Queen Mother's attitude!
Xingqing Palace.
The emperor respectfully saluted the Queen Mother, "My son respectfully welcomes his mother back to the palace. It's just that his son is busy with government affairs and was unable to greet his mother outside the city in person. Please don't blame her."
" You are the emperor, so you should naturally focus on national affairs. With so many people waiting for me as an old woman, what can go wrong?" The Queen Mother looked like she was laughing.
There is no trace of black in the white hair on her head, but she looks like an amiable old lady.
Stretching out her hand to help the emperor up, the queen mother asked impatiently: "The emperor said he wanted to have a queen, which girl did he like? You didn't make it clear in your child's letter, which disturbed the queen mother. I felt uneasy all the way!"
The emperor looked a little embarrassed.
But the Queen Mother didn't seem to pay attention, and only asked with bright eyes, "That girl is here today. If she is here, call her quickly and let the Ai family see her!"
" Queen mother, don’t be anxious. It’s been a tiring journey, so you should rest for two days. In two days, my son will definitely bring him to you for a look.”
However, when the Queen Mother heard this, she didn't buy it. She took back the hand that was supporting the emperor and snorted, "What a long journey. You were afraid that the Ai family would bully that little girl, so you hid it so that the Ai family wouldn't see it." Right?"
"Mother, you..."
The emperor was frozen in place, and then his anger surged to the sky, "Which audacious bitch dares to do this? Go talk to the Empress Mother, and if I find out..."
"Okay." The Queen Mother waved her hand carelessly, and even took a leisurely sip of wine, "The Ai family has not entered the capital yet. , The current emperor was so angry that he killed the eunuch who was nine thousand years old, and his ears were numb."
"Why do you need anyone to talk about it?"
