Chapter 1977 Does your mother know Brother Thirteen?
Concubine Qiao smiled and said nothing, stroking the pink petals with her hands.
Wanxuan was packing the teacups nearby and said by the way: "You can't even understand that this is your Majesty who is helping His Highness Fourteenth."
Wanyin wondered: "Help?
His Highness Fourteenth is too embarrassed to speak, and wants to keep Tingtong. If Tingtong leaves the palace, won’t the two of them have no chance to meet?"
Wanxuan groaned: "But it won't sound good if it gets out. Tingtong is a palace maid, and His Highness the Fourteenth Highness is the prince!"
"Think about it, if the emperor knew that His Highness Fourteenth was worried about a palace maid, do you think the emperor would be happy?"
Wanyin thought for a moment.
It seems so.
The emperor has very high requirements for all the princes and highnesses.
If we knew that His Highness Fourteenth would definitely be unhappy because of a palace maid's mood change.
Only then did Concubine Qiao speak.
"I also feel sorry for the child Fourteenth. He has been wandering around in the early years. Now he clearly cares about a girl, but he dare not say anything about it."
"Ting Tong's identity is indeed a bit complicated. If she remains a palace maid, the two of them will not have a good outcome."
"It's better to just leave the palace. If fate comes, maybe there will be more possibilities."
Wanyin and Wanxuan nodded repeatedly.
Concubine Qiao stood up: "What time is it? Why hasn't Nuo'er come back yet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Nuoer's voice came from outside——
"Mom, I'm back! I just met Brother Fourteen and we chatted for a while. Brother said you took him to chat. What did you say?"
Gu Nuoer ran in with her skirt clattering and hugged her mother's arm.
Concubine Qiao smiled brightly: "You naughty little guy, go take a bath first, and wait a while, mother will tell you what we talked about."
Gu Nuoer smiled sweetly: "Okay!"
Today, Gu Yihan has government affairs to deal with, so he will not come to Qiushui Palace to sleep.
So, Gu Nuoer squeezed onto her mother's bed.
Mother and daughter were talking quietly.
Concubine Qiao told Gu Nuoer her plan.
The girl was very surprised at first: "Huh?
Mother, do you really want to release Sister Tingtong from the palace?"
Concubine Qiao scratched the tip of her nose: "Yes, otherwise even if your brother and Ting Tong confess their love to each other in the future, your father will not like him marrying a palace maid."
Gu Nuoer pouted: "Isn't dad always very reasonable?"
"That's just for you."
Concubine Qiao smiled helplessly.
She patted her daughter's shoulder gently to coax her to sleep.
"Before you were born, your father treated the princes just like he treated his ministers, beating and scolding them at every turn."
"Your eldest brother Zixiao, because he is the eldest son, was beaten frequently. When your mother-in-law saw the scars on his back, she was so distressed that she cried."
Gu Nuoer blinked his big round eyes.
She has never seen her father beat anyone.
"correct!"
Gu Nuoer suddenly remembered: "Mother, do you remember Brother Thirteen?"
"Thirteen?"
Concubine Qiao was also stunned.
She recalled carefully: "I only remember that his mother was a palace maid, but later died during childbirth, leaving behind this poor child."
"But within a few years, Thirteen died young. He probably did not live past the age of four and could not speak. I remember that when he was first born, he didn't even cry."
Gu Nuoer's eyes flashed with loneliness.
It seems that Brother Thirteen really passed away early.
Concubine Qiao asked: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Gu Nuoer shook his head and hugged his mother's arm tightly.
"It's nothing, it's just that sometimes, when I think about this brother who has never appeared, I wonder what kind of person he is. If he is still alive, would he be three-dimensional like the other brothers?"
