Chapter 259 The Drunk Girl
Midsummer has passed, and the evenings are a little cool, with a cool breeze blowing by the stream.
The emperor walked alone, feeling a little confused and staggering.
He had lived here for ten years when it was not yet the cold palace, so far away from his father, even though his mother had not been sent to the cold palace at that time.
His mother was not favored and always beat and scolded him, saying that he was useless. She talked about how smart the other princes were and how well-behaved the princesses were, saying that he was unworthy of being a prince and was not as pleasing as a princess.
He thought that as long as he studied hard and was well behaved, his father would notice him. If his father saw him, he would see his mother, and then his mother would definitely not beat or scold him anymore, nor would she make him kneel before the bed in the middle of the night and not allow him to sleep.
He still remembers that it was such a cold day, there was no charcoal burning in the house, and his mother would not let him get on the bed. He knelt on the ground and shivered, his bones aching from the cold.
His knee problems started happening at that time.
He hated his mother very much, but she was his mother, the only person he could rely on when he was young.
Later, his mother appeared and took him away. She would gently wipe his hands, tell him to rest when he was tired from studying, and stay by his side when he was sick.
Because he followed his mother, he was gradually noticed by his father. Then he became more and more outstanding among his brothers and encountered more and more dangers.
But he was not afraid, because he had the protection of his mother and the Feng family. He was no longer alone and would no longer be bullied.
The emperor sat down in the pavilion, feeling a bit cold, and covered his lips with his hands to cough. Fortunately, he put on his cloak when he came out.
He thought about the past. After he followed his mother, he didn't want to care about her anymore, but his mother said that she was his biological mother after all. He was a filial son and could not ignore his biological mother.
But his mother was not good. She always lost her temper when she saw him and asked him why he didn't ask his father to raise her rank. When he was not happy, his mother would cry and make a fuss, and even beat him.
It was the Queen Mother who protected him and separated him from his mother.
Later, his mother died and he thought he was finally free, but he was heartbroken.
His mother is dead.
The emperor covered his face with his hands, but no tears fell. He was no longer the young man he used to be.
The sadness he felt at that time was that he was truly the only one left. The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to posthumously confer the title of Consort on his mother, despite the opposition of his ministers.
Now that I think about it, was he really doing it for his mother?
No, he did it to piss off the Queen Mother.
But what had the Queen Mother done wrong? She was always dignified and sensible. From the time she was Empress, to the time she was Empress Dowager, she never seemed to make a mistake.
Unlike his mother, who made so many mistakes that even her death was disgraceful. She actually had an affair with a guard.
What's funny is that the queen mother actually kept it a secret for her from him, and she was even fulfilling his last bit of mother-son love.
Mother-son relationship?
The emperor was extremely confused. The mother-son relationship between him and his mother was broken. He knew very well that it was because of his stubbornness. He wanted his mother to make concessions, step by step, forcing his mother into a corner.
He did not allow his mother to pay tribute to her two biological children, and even hated her for doting on Shao Qin.
Because the only time he saw his mother angry was when Shao Qin mischievously ran away from the palace. His mother got so angry that she personally took out a ruler and spanked Shao Qin twice.
The Queen Mother never hit him.
There was a rustling sound behind me, as if someone was laughing or crying.
The emperor turned around and saw some light not far away.
Who comes here so late?
The emperor was not very happy. After he ascended the throne, this place became a cold palace, but it was a cold palace with no one in it. He had angered the palace maids twice, and since then, no one has come here except the servants who sweep the floor.
He stood up and walked over there, but saw a girl sitting on the swing.
The girl had her hair loose and was walking barefoot. She looked up at the moon in the sky, and the moonlight seemed to cover her completely.
She was crying, but the sound was so clear and pleasant, as if she was laughing.
Like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
A cold wind blew, and the anxious voice of the maid holding a lantern was heard behind the girl.
"County Lady, it's cold. Be careful not to catch a cold if you drink."
The girl ignored him and continued crying.
The emperor walked forward and stepped on the leaves on the ground. The maid looked back alertly, but was shocked and knelt down quickly.
"County Lady, the Emperor is here."
"You're talking nonsense. Why would the emperor come so late?"
The girl turned around dissatisfiedly, and the moment she saw the emperor, her face was full of confusion and puzzlement.
Her face was red and it looked like she had drunk a lot of wine.
Without waiting for the emperor to react, the girl jumped down from the swing with a light figure, ran over like a deer, and threw herself into the emperor's arms.
The emperor subconsciously reached out and hugged her.
The girl hugged the emperor tightly and looked up at his face. Her eyes were dazed and confused, and she pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Are you real or just a dream?"
"I saw you when I was a child. You hugged me. Remember?"
"But then, why did you chase us away? Do you know what kind of life we lived in the countryside? Wuwuwu...you are so mean..."
Ginkgo was visibly stunned, and only after a moment did she remember to kneel down. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The County Lady...drank too much because the Empress Dowager was unwell and in a bad mood."
The girl didn't hear it at all.
She reached out and touched the emperor's eyebrows, and actually giggled.
"I know, you're too busy, aren't you? You're too busy, but don't frown all the time. You should be happier... Everyone should be happier."
She said, "That day, my elder sister almost died. We knelt there, we...we all thought we were going to die. It was your imperial decree that came down..."
"It's like a god descending..."
"But why didn't you issue the order earlier?"
The girl's eyes became more and more blurred, and there seemed to be three parts of tears in her eyes. She pouted.
"You're a bad guy, why didn't you issue the order earlier?... Bad guy... But, but I like it... I like it..."
The voice became lower and lower, like a kitten's claws, scratching the emperor's heart, making him feel itchy.
The emperor felt itchy.
He lowered his head and asked, "What did you say?"
But there was no response, and the girl in his arms fell into a deep sleep.
The soft jade in his arms, the warmth still clinging to him tightly, wrapping around him, caused ripples in his heart.
He had experienced this feeling of being relied upon before, but it was different. This girl wanted to call him uncle, and even almost, if the imperial concubine adopted her as her daughter, then she would become his daughter.
He felt a little relieved, thinking that it was a good thing that the girl did not agree to the imperial concubine.
But I was also wondering, was it because she refused to agree that day that she had the same idea?
