On the second day after Li Xian came to visit Li Xian, Zhao Yinyue was summoned to her palace by Empress Wu.
"My good daughter-in-law, let me tell you who went to visit Xian'er yesterday." Seeing Zhao Yinyue, Empress Wu felt as if she had met her own daughter, with a soft smile on her face. If it were a different person,
You know, I thought she was such an amiable and kind mother-in-law.
Zhao Yinyue naturally knew what kind of person her mother-in-law was, and she deliberately didn't want to answer, but when she thought of how this person had threatened her on the second day of her wedding, she still felt deeply fearful in her heart, so she had no choice but to
He opened his mouth and said, "It's His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Oh? Then what did they say?" Empress Wu seemed to already know that the visitor was Li Xian, and then continued to ask.
But Zhao Yinyue said with a bitter smile: "I really don't know this. They entered the study at that time, and their voices were very low. He also dismissed all the attendants, so I..."
"Humph, I know that you don't. Although Xian'er has driven away the attendants, who are you? You are the mistress of the palace, can you be the same as those attendants? You can definitely take advantage of the opportunity of delivering tea to get there.
I heard a general idea everywhere, but where were you at that time? How could you know what they were talking about just sitting in your own room? Also, when I told you to gather many confidants in the palace, please tell me
, how many confidants have you recruited since you entered the palace?"
"My concubines are incompetent, and I didn't even get any of them..." Zhao Yinyue heard Empress Wu's voice gradually becoming stern, and felt a little scared in her heart, but the facts were there, and she could only tell the truth.
"Humph, you are not without merit. At least you know how to tell the truth. In this case, I will give you a chance and give you half a year to investigate clearly who is the biological mother of my grandson Chongzhao.
If you do this well, I will be rewarded. If you can't even do this little thing well, hey, you will know the consequences. You don't need to remind me, right? I'm tired, so you can go down first.
.”
Empress Wu's expression was completely different from when she first arrived. If she was as gentle as a deer when she first arrived, now she has become a poisonous snake with a cold light in her eyes. She simply wants to eat people.
And then quickly.
Looking at such a fierce and poisonous snake, Zhao Yinyue couldn't help but shudder, nodded in agreement, and then hurried back to Prince Zhou's Mansion.
"What should I do? Even if I put aside my mother-in-law and myself, on the one hand, it is the safety of my parents, and on the other hand, it is my husband. No matter what I do, it is not good. I am the only daughter of my parents.
I have been born and raised since I was a child, and I have worked hard to bring me up. I can't ignore their safety, so can I still be considered a human being? But the King of Zhou is my husband. Although we have been married for so many days, he has always been
He didn't even touch me, but he is my husband after all. He married me after going through three matchmaking and six certificates, three letters and six etiquettes. Even if there is nothing between us, he will always be my god. How can I
How can I feel sorry for him?"
Zhao Yinyue came to the palace in a daze, and suddenly saw a six or seven-year-old boy playing in the courtyard. After seeing her, he could not avoid her, so he had to stand aside obediently.
"Are you Chongjun?" Zhao Yinyue suddenly remembered the mission given to her by Empress Wu. At the same time, she was really curious about the little guy and couldn't help but ask.
The boy was Li Chongjun, the son of Li Xian. He was now six years old. Although he was young, he was not pampered. He was forced by Li Xian to practice literature and martial arts. His literature teacher was Lu Zhaolin, one of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty.
Teacher Xue is Dou Xiantong who dotes on him the most. Although Dou Xiantong usually dotes on him, when it comes to practicing martial arts, he seems to be a different person. No matter how he behaves, Dou Xiantong
Tong always required him to practice every move meticulously.
Therefore, although Li Chongjun was young, he had almost no time to play. It was just that Lu Zhaolin was busy with work today and could not come to the mansion to teach, and Dou Xiantong also had other important matters and could not teach him martial arts. This made Li Chongjun
I was able to sneak out of the study and quietly go to the courtyard to play.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he would meet the concubine of his father, Wang Xinna.
Regarding this princess, although he had met her once shortly after their wedding, it was difficult for him to say the word "mother concubine". Therefore, Li Chongjun could only say respectfully: "Qi."
Princess, this boy is none other than Chong Jun. I am going to meet the princess."
"Haha, Chongjun, don't be so polite. Come here quickly and let me take a good look at you. Well, little Chongjun is growing up so fast. We haven't seen you for two months and he has actually grown one finger taller. This little face is so handsome.
, he is literally carved out of the same mold as your father."
When Zhao Yinyue praised the little guy so much that he was very happy, he lost no time in taking off a piece of jade from himself and gave it to the little guy as a gift, and also promised to give the little guy one in the future.
The long sword immediately moved Xiao Chongjun so much that he didn't know his last name. Although he still didn't call out the word "mother concubine", he already treated Zhao Yinyue as his biological mother in his heart.
After that, Zhao Yinyue took advantage of the little guy's happiness and asked him some indirect questions, such as who is taking care of you now, where do you usually play, etc., and she learned a lot, because she unexpectedly learned that after so many years,
In addition to Dou Xiantong, who could not even explain his origins, there was also a maid named Lan'er who took care of Xiao Chongjun inseparably, and this Lan'er actually took him to Jade Palace every year.
True view.
She knew about this Yuzhen Temple, because this Taoist temple was close to Zhao Yinyue's palace. After a period of careful observation, she found that there was only a young female crown practicing in the temple, and this female crown was always staring at it intentionally or unintentionally.
Looking in the direction of the Royal Palace.
"It seems that this female crown has something to do with the palace, or to be more precise, it should have something to do with Xiao Chongjun. If I have time, I would like to know this female crown for a while."
Huang Tian paid off his hard work. After nearly a month of patient searching, Zhao Yinyue finally found an opportunity and took the opportunity to enter the Taoist temple and meet the young female crown.
The first time she saw Nv Guan, she immediately concluded that this Nv Guan must be Xiao Chongjun's biological mother. This was not only due to the similarity in appearance between Xiao Chongjun and Nv Guan, but also from a woman's intuition.
At this time, Zhao Yinyue's heart was full of infinite sorrow, and she thought silently: "No wonder King Zhou has been avoiding me and never wanted to do the husband-wife ceremony with me. It turns out that he already has this female crown as a woman.
And her children are so old, but since he likes her, why doesn't he want to marry her? Although only parents can make the decision on marriage, if he proposes to take her as his concubine, even if the Queen is the biological mother, there will be no
The reason for the objection is that this lady doesn't want to be a concubine, but just wants to be a princess? If that's really the case, why don't I help her? Although I will lose him this way, it is still much better than the embarrassing status I have now.
, it just so happens that I can take the opportunity to escape from the control of the Queen of Heaven. At least it is much better than living in fear and conscience every day like now."
Zhao Yinyue made up her mind and decided to find out the matter. Even if she didn't tell the queen about it, she would still find a way to make this queen happy.
Therefore, when Nu Guan asked her about it and then directly told her that this Taoist temple was a private practice place and not open to the public, she did not withdraw immediately, but looked straight at the other person with her eyes for a long time.
No words were spoken.
"I wonder what the female donor is looking at?" The female crown looked unnatural to her, so she had no choice but to ask.
However, Zhao Yinyue said directly: "You are Chongjun's mother, right? I am Zhao Yinyue, Princess of Zhou."
Suddenly, Zhao Yinyue saw the face of the female crown change, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
"I wonder what this female donor is talking about? I can't understand." The female crown returned to normal in just a moment, but at that moment, Zhao Yinyue was sure.
"Sister, you don't have to deny it anymore. All sisters know it." Zhao Yinyue looked at the other party again and said slowly: "Sister, you are indeed a great beauty. No wonder he misses you so much."
"Hey, great beauty? Compared with this benefactor Zhao, I am really unworthy. You said he misses me? Where did you start from? He is as gluey as glue with you now, as sweet as honey.
How can you miss me?"
The female crown is naturally Li Chongjun's biological mother Yang Yushu. Her life has been really miserable these years. Not only is her son no longer around, but even her personal maid has left. Although the maid Lan'er is here to take care of her son.
She made a huge sacrifice, but this did result in her not having a confidant by her side all year round, and she couldn't even find anyone to talk to about herself. She, her confidant maid, and her son could only live for one year.
Meeting once, and even once a year, she could not recognize her son.
Fortunately, she learned from Lan'er that Li Xian really liked his son, and even spent a lot of money to hire celebrities to give lectures to his son. At the same time, the son was officially recognized by the royal family and was named the county king.
Only then did I feel somewhat comforted, thinking that the sacrifice I had made for my son was worth it in the end.
When Zhao Yinyue appeared in front of him recently and directly told her relationship with his son, Yang Yushu knew that his secret could no longer be hidden from her, so he finally stopped denying his identity, but the resentment in his heart was inevitable.
He vented his anger on Zhao Yinyue.
"Sister, what are you talking about? This person is actually such a ruthless person? You gave birth to a son for him, and he no longer recognizes you? I originally thought that he was just ruthless to me, but I didn't expect his gentleness.
Behind the polite appearance, there is such a human face and an animal heart! If my sister really needs to vent her anger, my little sister will definitely avenge you."
Zhao Yinyue then remembered what Empress Wu had confessed, and secretly decided to report the secret to the Empress of Heaven this time, so that Li Xian's reputation would be ruined, and the beautiful but miserable sister in front of him could be compensated.
