The expression on Jiang Shuhua's face suddenly froze. She looked at Qi in surprise, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Qi slowly put away the teapot, put his hands on his knees, sat upright, and looked at her calmly, "You have always been smart. In this back house, I am a mother.
But you, at such a young age, would solve many things for me.
Now that you are getting older and encountering many things, you are naturally more successful than before. Although the environment in the palace is more complicated, I think these will not hurt you.
It seems that you are born with a place that suits you.”
"Mom?" Jiang Shuhua looked at Qi in disbelief, "You... why did you say such things? Do you know how much suffering I suffered after entering the palace?
Everyone has a backer, even those women with very low rank. In fact, there are one or two officials in the family, but I don’t have them.
My father didn't recognize me, the Xie family didn't recognize me. In the East Palace, everyone secretly laughed at me for being just a rural girl from a farmer. I can't get rid of this identity. I want people to know that I still have my mother.
My mother is the daughter of a wealthy family and the chief mistress of the Xie family.
But I have never told anyone that because no one believes that everyone can only see no one interacting with me, I have no support from my mother's family, and no close relative can come to the East Palace to see me."
As she said that, she shed tears and looked at Qi with tears in her eyes, "Mom, it's really hard for me. In the palace, even those palace maids can bully me, and the maids in front of the princess look down on me.
.
An old woman can come over to set rules for me. At the beginning, when I was pregnant, I was alone in that yard and I couldn’t see anyone all day long. Even the food I sent here every day was carefully.
I don't know how many people are staring at me. The Crown Princess is a sweet-mouthed person, and she just looks like a good person, but there are still countless minions behind her, and those people are all swords facing me.
Jian, mom, I'm all rolling in blood and tears as I go by.
Can't you imagine it? Every time I'm afraid, I think, I must stay up, I must climb to the top, my mother is still suffering in the Xie family, I must be her proud daughter,
I have to let everyone see that my mother’s choice is right and I can get up!”
Speaking of this, Jiang Shuhua was already crying and leaned on the table and cried so hard that she couldn't help herself.
However, Qi just sat opposite and looked at her quietly, as if she was a quiet listener, and there was no change in her expression on her face.
Jiang Shuhua's heart sank little by little, but her mind slowly calmed down. She reached out to hold Qi's hand, but found that the other party's hand was placed under the table and she couldn't pull it.
"Mom...what's wrong with you?"
Qi shook his head gently, "You said, I'm listening!"
"Why are you not moved by my affairs at all, and don't you feel sorry for me at all? Don't you think my life is very hard now?"
"Of course!" Qi nodded, "But... haven't you already enjoyed the gains from this hard work now? Even if you don't go out in the mansion, I have heard about your situation in the East Palace now.
Think about how everyone looked at you when you first entered, how the prince missed you, but in this case, you could even stand up and get the power to manage the East Palace. That's it
, You are almost better than all the women in this world."
The smile on her face was a little relieved, "In the past, I would have been worried that you would not be able to survive in the East Palace after you left the Xie family and changed back to the Jiang family.
But the facts prove that I thought too much, you are much stronger than I thought, so I feel relieved. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the Xie family. With your ability, you don’t need to be named the surname Xie family.
Even if you don’t have any help, you can get everything you want with your own abilities. This is what I feel most at ease with you.”
These words sounded like they agreed with her and affirmed that she was even proud of her, but at this time Jiang Shuhua felt a sense of coldness.
This kind of coldness came from Qi's body, which was a kind of alienated and indifferent politeness, and a completely unconcerned bystander.
right!
At this time, Qi said about her, like a calm bystander.
"Mom..." Jiang Shuhua found her voice for a long time and said with some uncertainty, "Do you... really think... I don't need the Xie family anymore?"
Qi was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Shu'er, it's not whether you need the Xie family or not, but... In fact, you have nothing to do with the Xie family anymore. You will recognize this earlier in your heart.
, is something that is more beneficial to you.
With your nature, once you have something to rely on, it will limit your performance. What's more, facts are facts. When the imperial edict was issued, everything was decided.
Even if the prince succeeds to the throne, no matter how much the prince values you, this cannot be changed, because it is the imperial edict of Emperor Yufeng, and he cannot overturn his father's order at will."
Jiang Shuhua never expected that he would hear these words when he met Qi today.
Although Qi looks much older, judging from the way she looks at her, she is obviously not much different from the Qi family in the past.
Why, she is so cold.
Treat yourself so cruelly and alienatedly.
"But mom, you don't know that there is a crown princess in the East Palace again. He is the girl of the Wen family. The Wen family is at its peak now, even more so than the Zhao family at that time.
The most important thing is, do you know who the fifth girl of the Wen family is? There is no fifth girl of the Wen family at all. Perhaps, this person does not exist in the Wen family in their hometown.”
Jiang Shuhua looked at Qi with some begging, "That person is Princess Huimin, Princess Huimin! But she just changed her identity and entered the East Palace.
The identity of the Wen family girl is innocent, so she can sit in the position of the Crown Princess smoothly, and there are support from the Wen family and the eldest princess's mansion behind her. Mom... I have no choice, I will be killed by her.
.
Mom, I need you, I need you to help me. Do you have the heart to watch me bullied in the East Palace? I have Shuang'er! That's your granddaughter!
What if I die? Mom, I know it’s not easy for you to be in the mansion now, but... but I really have no choice!"
