Chapter 429 The taste of grass sprouts

Concubine Ming was stunned.

She remembers that place.

The so-called winding path leads to seclusion, it is a rockery not far from the Imperial Garden.

Although it is a rockery, it is high and wide, and craftsmen have carved out a winding passage inside. In summer, there are mottled sunlight, flowing water and breeze, making it a good place for a walk to escape the heat.

But that's all.

If you go in at other times, it will only be dark and damp.

At the exit of the winding path, there is a small room, which was used by the emperor and his concubines to rest temporarily or change their clothes in summer.

It is empty in the three seasons of winter, spring and autumn.

Concubine Ming passed by there when she was young. The small house had no windows. When the door was closed, it was dark inside, like a box.

She didn't expect that her son, who looked white, beautiful, smart and steady, would be imprisoned for three days.

Concubine Ming asked with a trembling voice: "What did you do next?"

"Cry in the small dark room, sleep when you are tired from crying, cry again when you wake up hungry, and sleep again when you are tired from crying." Gu Changyuan said calmly, "It was early spring, and there were freshly grown grass buds at the door, which tasted good."

"Oh my God!"

Concubine Ming's face turned pale, she covered her face with her hands, squatted down and cried loudly.

Gu Changyuan smiled and said: "More than ten years have passed. Isn't it too late for my mother and concubine to cry again?"

Concubine Ming cried for a long time before asking: "How did you get out later?"

"I saw eunuchs passing by through the crack in the door, so I called them to come over and open the door." Gu Changyuan said very calmly, "That time I was sick for half a month, do you still remember it?"

Concubine Ming tried her best to recall.

In her poor memory, this episode did not exist at all.

She was so guilty that she cried and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Didn't I tell you now?"

"Why didn't you say anything back then?"

"If what I said was useful, I wouldn't have had those experiences." Gu Changyuan said, "To put it bluntly, my concubine has indeed gradually become more sensible and smarter in the past few years. You know when I was a child, others called me

What do you want?"

"I know, they call me a fool and call me a foolish nobleman."

"It's hard for my mother and concubine to remember."

"I..." Concubine Ming looked uncomfortable, hugging her head, feeling regretful, "I really don't know why I am so stupid. I don't seem to know anything. I can't take care of my children, and I can't speak."

"Speaking of which, it is Li Yingning's credit that the concubine is favored now." Gu Changyuan said with a smile, "She can be regarded as a civilizer. So, why not use this favor to do something beneficial to her?

?”

Concubine Ming raised her head, with tears on her face, and said in a daze: "I am willing to do anything for the princess, but I am not willing to drive you out of the capital because of this."

Gu Changyuan bent down, helped her up, wiped her tears with a towel, and said softly: "Mother and concubine, everyone has their own destiny. Don't worry about it."

"Yuan'er, you were not like this before." Concubine Ming looked at him eagerly, "You have always been smart, careful, and ambitious. You said you wanted to replace Gu Yingxun as the crown prince. As long as you are willing, you can obviously do it.

After all this, why give up? Even if you don’t want the crown prince position, what about Princess Xinhua? Last time you said that he was your obsession and you must get her in this life!"

Gu Changyuan smiled and said: "Concubine's memory is indeed getting better and better."

Concubine Ming shouted: "Tell me!"

Gu Changyuan thought for a while: "Let go of your obsession."
