,!
Liu Chengqian couldn't help but froze for a moment when he heard what the third princess was talking to herself.
"Mom, what is it really like what you thought? Why do you say that?"
The third princess listened to her son's questioning words and sat down on the bench behind her.
Seeing her son's expression of shock and confusion, the third princess frowned slightly and sighed melancholy.
"Oh, silly boy.
When Wei Niang observed your reaction and behavior in front of Tong'er girl, I couldn't help but feel particularly strange.
Judging from your expression, reaction, and eyes when you saw Tong'er girl, it doesn't look like there is no Tong'er girl in your heart at all.
My mother has also been here since she was young, so she naturally knows what a young boy or girl is like when they are just starting to fall in love.
The way you look now is almost the same as the situation when your mother, your father, and our mother were together.
Even if there are differences, it is just a matter of mood and feeling that differs from person to person.
Generally speaking, they are pretty much the same.”
"So that's what it is, my child understands."
"Silly boy, the change in Tong'er's expression when she saw you is the same as the mood and expressions of the aunts and sisters who met your father when they were young.
And your father's reaction in front of us sisters at that time was very different from your reaction in front of Tong'er girl.
It's just that compared to when your father was young, you are still a little behind.
When your father was young, when he was about the same age as you, he was already very calm and collected.
He rarely shows his true emotions in front of others, and always appears carefree and bohemian.
However, only those who truly understand others will know how calm and calm his heart is hidden under his playful and carefree expression.
Do you know what kind of nickname your father had in the capital when he was young?"
Liu Chengqian thought for a moment and nodded without hesitation.
"Haier knows that in the past, when my uncle, Uncle Jia, and second uncle... were drinking together and joking with each other, I heard them mention it.
Don't criticize... Uh-huh...
Mother, you understand, so I won’t continue talking."
The third princess looked at the slightly embarrassed look on her son's face, gently shook the small fan in her hand, pursed her lips and chuckled a few times.
"You are right, your father had this one when he was young.
Don't criticize me, Mr. Liu.
At that time, your father's nickname was known to everyone in the entire capital city and in more than ten prefectures and towns in the capital.
Even if you have never met him, as long as you mention this nickname, others will instantly think of him.
However, your father never paid much attention to this somewhat indecent nickname.
Whenever people who were close to him would use this nickname to tease him as a joke, he would just laugh it off and never argue with them.
But, have you ever thought about my child?
If your father is really as good as what the rumors say, he will be shameless in everything he does.
How did he become so prosperous in the temple? How did he get along so well among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?
And most importantly, how he showed great favor to your forefathers.
You were still young at that time and had no idea how famous your father was in the court.
The favor your father received from your grandfather was not to mention the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
Even your uncles are envious of you.
Not to mention anything else, just a Golden Dragon Emperor Order is enough to prove your father's status in your grandfather's mind.
Later, after your father and I gave birth to you.
You have seen with your own eyes how much prestige your father has in the capital and in the court."
Liu Chengqian raised his head slightly and fell silent with memories in his eyes.
After a while.
Liu Chengqian withdrew his gaze, looked at the third princess and nodded with emotion.
"Yes, ever since my child became sensible, I have known all the things you said, mother."
"Son, do you know what your maternal grandfather said about your father when he was still alive?"
Liu Chengqian shook his head decisively: "Back to mother, this kid really doesn't know."
The third princess let out a sigh of relief, her jade neck slightly raised, and there was a hint of memory in her beautiful eyes.
"At the beginning, my mother had not yet married your father.
The night before your mother came out of the palace, your maternal grandfather and your maternal grandmother went to the palace where your mother lived at that time.
After your imperial grandfather said some thoughtful words to his mother, he took his mother for a walk in the palace garden.
My mother remembers very clearly that your imperial grandfather walked in front of me, his face was complicated and low, and he was silent for a long time.
Later, your maternal grandfather said to the empress in a serious and thoughtful manner, "Your father... your father..."
The third princess hesitated for a long time and finally said nothing.
Liu Chengqian looked at his mother's hesitant expression, and his expression suddenly became confused.
"Mother, why didn't you say anything?
What did your grandfather say to you the night before you left the cabinet?"
The third princess glanced at the cloudless blue sky with melancholy, and her beautiful face let out a long and bitter sigh.
"Oh, it's nothing.
If you want to blame, it’s your cousin Ye who felt sorry for your father first!”
When his mother heard his cousin Li Ye's name, Liu Chengqian seemed to understand something and plucked his earlobe a few times without asking any more questions.
Liu Chengqian knew very well that his mother did not want to continue talking about certain past events.
Naturally, she has her own reasons and her own ideas.
Those past events were sad things, and I couldn't continue to ask about them.
Otherwise, it is just like adding salt to the wound.
The third princess gently turned the small fan in her hand a few times, looked at Liu Chengqian with a dull expression, and stood up.
"Son, do you know why my mother mentioned these things to you?"
Liu Chengqian was silent for a moment thoughtfully, and the third princess nodded silently.
"Mother, my child understands."
The third princess smiled and reached out to pat Liu Chengqian's arm a few times.
"Good boy, since you understand what it means to be a mother, it couldn't be better."
"Mom, does my father really know the difficulty of his child?"
When the third princess heard Liu Chengqian's complex tone, which seemed to be talking to himself or questioning him, she nodded her head a few times noncommittally.
"Silly boy, when you can't even control your emotions, your thoughts are destined to be hidden from your father's eyes.
Your father has clearly guessed all your thoughts.
But he still asked you solemnly again and again whether you are willing to marry Tong'er girl.
As for the life-long matter between you and Tong Yatou, your father has almost put the topic out in the open for you.
Silly boy, don’t you understand what your father means?”
Liu Chengqian looked slightly startled, and fell silent with a slight frown on his face.
After a long time.
Liu Chengqian showed a look of realization on his face, and gently kneaded his forehead a few times with his fingers, and then let out a sigh of relief.
"Huh - it turns out that this is what Sister Yue'er said to me before!"
"Huh? What did Yue'er tell you?"
Liu Chengqian shook his head, chuckled and waved his hand.
"I didn't say anything, I just said some words to enlighten the child.
