Chapter 274 Dispute
But how much benefit can this be? The fact that they are her children can never change. If she cannot survive in the aristocratic circle, her children will not receive the respect they deserve unless they can prove their abilities and let others recognize them and thus face them.
But if this is the case, why do you have to fight for the so-called status of a family? If the children gain the respect they deserve with their own strength, it has nothing to do with her mother!
Thinking of this, she shook her head firmly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it is God's will to be a wife or a concubine. If God's will, there is no way to do it, let alone I have been used to it for so many years."
The emperor was silent for a while, looked at her meaningfully, and said, "Okay, since you insisted on this, I have nothing to say. But this reward is still counted, so I will write it down for now. If you have other ideas in the future, I will tell me."
Pei Xiner hurriedly knelt down again and kowtowed, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
The emperor stood up and helped her up with his own hands. She was so scared that she shivered and took two steps back suddenly, and set a distance from him. Only then did she feel a little shocked.
The emperor didn't mind, so he walked straight to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said, "Since I ascended the throne, I have been repeatedly restrained by others. Those who don't know think that I am the true dragon emperor, rich in the world, and can do whatever I want, but I don't know the depression in my heart, and I have to do everything I have to do. Now that I have finally seen a glimmer of dawn, I will definitely be able to eradicate all obstacles and truly hold the world in my hands!"
Pei Xiner was a little puzzled. What did he do when he told him about these things? But he still agreed cautiously: "The emperor is the true emperor. The world is the thing in your pocket. Your natural resources will definitely be able to achieve everything you want!"
The emperor turned his head, looked at her with a bright look, and said, "Okay! Since you said that, I will definitely work harder!"
Pei Xiner was stunned - she just said this casually, but she could not make a decision?!
Before he could come back to his senses, he heard the emperor say, "Okay, it's getting late, Mrs. Zhao is still waiting for you. I'll send someone to send you out."
Pei Xiner calmed down and felt relieved. Today's emperor is really too abnormal, and it is impossible to leave her. It is said that being with the king is like a tiger. If you stay like this, you may not be sure when her inadvertent words and deeds will anger the emperor. At that time, even Zhao Yubao will not be able to protect her!
So she knelt down to the emperor and kowtowed, and followed the eunuch who led her way back again. They didn't meet anyone after the trip, so there was no need to worry that the meeting today would be leaked.
When she returned to the imperial garden, Pei Xiner met Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao asked her about the queen's summons, and she stammered and dealt with it. Mrs. Zhao didn't care too much, so the two walked out of the palace together, got on the carriage, and drove towards the general's mansion.
Sitting in the carriage, Pei Xiner felt extremely tired. Entering the palace was a laborious task for her, especially for her. She was afraid that she would make a mistake in walking in the palace, so she had to think about every sentence and every move. Such a life is really not something that humans live, and she felt that life was like a year.
Fortunately, she is just a concubine, and she has not had the opportunity to go to the palace during this special period recently, which has to be said to be a comfort for her.
I found another reason why I didn't want to be promoted, right?
She couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Mrs. Zhao looked quite tired and had some worries, so the two of them returned to the general's mansion in silence. At this time, the old lady had already ordered the banquet to prepare and wash away the bad luck for Zhao Yu's husband. Therefore, she could only hurry back to the house and change into a dress. Without even having time to take a sip of water, she immediately rushed to the banquet.
The old lady, Zhao Yubao, and the children had already taken their seats. Mrs. Zhao and Pei Xiner arrived almost at the same time, saluted the old lady, and met them with Zhao Yubao, after Mrs. Zhao gave the old lady's head to the old lady, and Pei Xiner gave the head to the Zhao Yubao, and then sat down.
When the old lady saw everyone, she raised her glass and said, "Today, our family is finally all people. Qianer can return safely. The emperor and the queen are also caring for our family. This is the honor of the family. Come on, we have done this cup together, which is a shock to Qianer and thanked the emperor and the queen for their kindness."
Pei Xiner picked up the wine glass and saw that there was a cup in front of Zhao Yuqian. She couldn't help but whispered in a low voice: "Master, the Imperial Doctor said you can't drink yet!"
Zhao Yuzun looked at her and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm in it. Not only mine, but the children drink water, so you don't have to worry."
After hearing this, Pei Xiner felt relieved. However, when she turned around, she saw that the old lady and Mrs. Zhao were both looking at her with burning eyes. Her face was burning. Before she could drink, she was already red.
The old lady smiled, without saying much, and raised her glass and drank it clean. Mrs. Zhao, Pei Xiner and others followed. Sun and Li sat under Pei Xiner, Dun Ge'er, Ling Jie'er and others sat opposite Pei Xiner and others, and they all drank the wine or water in their glasses, and smiled.
However, Dun Ge'er looked depressed. She sat in the seat without saying a word or eating. Everyone could see that he was in a bad mood.
The old lady asked with concern: "Brother Dun, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why don't you eat vegetables?"
Brother Dun looked at her, then looked at Zhao Yubao again, opened his mouth, but he wanted to speak but stopped.
Zhao Yuxian's face darkened, and he immediately guessed what he wanted to say. He paused the wine glass on the table with a "bang" and said unhappily: "When everyone is happy, you have the most things to do! If you don't want to say it, don't say it, but you can't ruin everyone's interest just because you are alone! Where are the etiquettes you learn in your reading?!"
Dun Ge'er's face changed, and tears quickly gathered in her eyes. She just stubbornly bit her lower lip to prevent tears from falling out of her eyes.
When Pei Xiner saw this, she couldn't help but feel a "knock". Seeing that the old lady was about to have an attack, she hurriedly rushed to smooth things over and said, "Why do you have to say so seriously? I heard that my elder brother was taught a lesson by his master in school today. I guess he felt a little unhappy. This is also a normal thing. Why do you have to be angry? My elder brother eats more vegetables and his stomach will naturally get better after he gets full."
As he said that, he picked up a chopstick dish and put it into Dunge'er's bowl.
Unexpectedly, Brother Dun suddenly burst out, threw the bowl suddenly, stood up and said angrily: "No need for you to pretend! Aunt Pei, don't forget that my mother is still alive. With her here, don't think of being a wife in the family! You are just a concubine. If you put the wife's wife's money, I won't be bewitched by you like my father!"
Everyone was stunned when he had this attack. Pei Xiner had no time to stop him from blurting out words, so she had to sit down with her face powerlessly, knowing that her kindness was in vain.
Dun Ge'er is young and does not understand the whole story of Feng's affairs, nor does he know the true cause and effect hidden in it. He is still a child, and it is normal for him to be nostalgic and depend on his mother. As a mother, she can understand his mood at this moment. But for others, whether it is the old lady, Mrs. Zhao or Zhao Yubao, Feng is a person who is unforgivable. They even consciously downplay the traces of Feng's past in the mansion. At this time, Dun Ge'er mentioned this without knowing how he was. And on this occasion, you can imagine how angry the old lady and the others would be.
She originally wanted to avoid all this, but unfortunately, Brother Dun didn't accept her affection and messed up everything with her own hands, so she could only sigh.
Sure enough, the old lady immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "Brother, what are you saying?! You don't know what your mother did. Do you still think that grandmother and your father were wrong in dealing with her?! Are you blaming your grandmother and father?!"
The tears in Dun Ge'er's eyes fell from his eyes. He didn't wipe it, but stood stubbornly, saying with a sob: "No matter what my mother did, she is her father's wife, grandmother's granddaughter-in-law. She gave birth to my sister and I for her father. She should not be punished like that no matter what! We are all reunited here now, but if we lack a mother, what kind of reunion can be considered?! Dad, grandmother, you have all been deceived by Aunt Pei and the others. You are partial and you are unfair!"
The more he said it, the more he was too much, and Pei Xiner didn't know what to say. From the perspective of a son, there was nothing wrong with him saying this, but can he say this here? Can he say that?!
The old lady was so angry that she trembled all over. She pointed at him tremblingly and said angrily: "You ungrateful and ungrateful son! If your father and I were unfair, your mother could still stay in the family temple at this time?! She disobeyed her elders, deceived her superiors and subordinates, was vicious and had bad methods. We were already very tolerant to keep her in the family temple. As the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, you are so distorted and disregarded, and you are not distinguished from right or wrong. I see that all the books of sages you have read over the years are useless!"
This is a very serious statement. In the old lady's mind, no matter what Feng did, Dun Ge'er was always the descendant of the Zhao family and the heir of the future General's Mansion, and in her opinion, it was still good. Although she knew that the child missed Feng very much, she also felt that this was the child's natural dependence on his mother and did not think it was a sin. She did not expect that this would be the idea in his heart.
