It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 419 The Tomb of the Emperor’s Home

Lan Xiang handed the box containing the "Emperor's Book" into Sima Yue's hands. Sima Yue immediately opened it to check, took it out and rubbed it in his hands, and looked carefully in a brightly lit place before looking at the sheep with satisfaction. Xianrong said: "Queen Hui is also thoughtful about this great gift."

"As far as I am concerned, this is just a veil. As long as the prince likes it." Yang Xianrong smiled softly, looked at Concubine Pei again, and asked: "Since we have a legitimate son, we must still have the whole family." Let’s have a meal together. Can I ask Master Mao to come over and help with the cooking? There is still some dried meat in Tianyuan Palace, so I’ll send it over too.”

After days of heavy rain, food has become very scarce, and even the people in the palace have been downgraded when eating. Hearing Yang Xianrong say this, before Concubine Pei said anything, Sima Pi was already beaming with joy, and kowtowed to Yang Xianrong to express his thanks.

"Thank you Queen Hui for your grace."

"Your Majesty, why should you be so polite? It's just a little thought." Yang Xianrong laughed again, and the bright meaning in his eyes made Sima Pi's pupils dilate, but he didn't even say a word. Still Concubine Pei said with a smile: "Queen Hui is really kind to my son. Pi'er, please be more filial to Queen Hui in the future."

It was not awkward to say this, but it was awkward to the people who heard it. Speaking of which, Sima Bi was the age of Yang Xianrong's father, so he actually wanted to be "filial".

Yang Xianrong had no choice but to turn around and whisper a few words to Cui Xi. Cui Xi immediately turned around and went out to inform Mao Hongmao and Lao Zhang to prepare meals.

Waiting for Concubine Pei and Sima Yue to sit upright, a maid prepared hot tea and handed it to Sima Pi's hands and the hands of the family members behind him. Everyone knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to the three people sitting upright. Sima Pi also knelt down for a long time and muttered words, thanking his mother, concubine and father for their upbringing and so on.

Yang Xianrong glanced at the old palace maid kneeling behind Sima Pi. It seemed that she must be Sima Pi's biological mother. She burst into tears and looked at Sima Pi's back in a daze. I couldn't tell whether that expression was pride or sadness, but I always felt uncomfortable.

A little distracted, Concubine Pei already spoke, "Pier, for more than forty years, even if I have not personally nurtured you, I have been involved in your education. In fact, our mother and son have a very deep bond. ”

"Yes." Sima Pi was kowtowing again, extremely respectfully.

"Today, before you change your words, you have to do one more thing." Concubine Pei suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Sima Pi.

For some reason, Yang Xianrong suddenly had a bad feeling and couldn't help but lean back. Cuixi and Lanxiang, who had turned back, took a small step forward. Lanxiang also pulled Yang Xianrong's sleeves with her hands to give her some support.

"Princess, please give me your orders." Sima Pi clenched his fists.

"Remember, you only have me as your mother in this life." Concubine Pei's voice suddenly became stern, and she looked at Sima Pi with wide eyes, "This is to ascend the ancestral tablet of the Sima royal family."

"Yes." Sima Pi nodded, then kowtowed to the ground. Then he pulled out a short dagger of cold light from his boots, turned around and stabbed it straight in. Before the man could cry out, he pulled the dagger out of her body again.

This knife was extremely precise, going straight to the heart.

There was blood spurting out, but it wasn't particularly violent. The woman's eyes when looking at Sima Pi were still gentle and loving, without any hint of fear. It seemed that she had long known that she would have such a fate, but if her death was used to exchange for her son's glory and wealth for the rest of his life and inherit the throne of Sima Yue, her death seemed to be just a small matter.

She was just a concubine, but she was lucky enough to give birth to a son for the first time. Because the princess didn't like it, she could enjoy the filial piety of her son for more than forty years, which was considered a complete life.

The body fell sideways without making any sound.

The women and children behind her lowered their heads and did not see this scene. So what if I see it? They were all lying on the ground, motionless.

Yang Xianrong's heart seemed to be pinched by something, and he was so painful that he broke into a cold sweat.

"My son is neat and tidy." Concubine Pei smiled more happily, with relief in her eyes. Even the title has been changed. How could Sima Pi not hear it? He shouted prostrately: "Mother, my son will be good to you all his life!"

"Hahaha, this child is so well-behaved and cute, and so down-to-earth." Concubine Pei said to Sima Yue with a smile, "Let's put Pi'er's name in the ancestral hall tomorrow."

"Okay." Sima Yue also had a smile on his face.

Sima Pi became the legitimate son, and the next step was to be canonized as the crown prince, and he would have all the glory and wealth. Once his status is corrected, his wife and children will naturally be promoted to a higher level. These people also changed their name to Concubine Pei as "Mother Concubine" and came to serve tea one by one, making the mother kind and the son filial, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Some eunuchs quietly dragged the body of Sima Pi's mother out of the hall, while others were quickly wiping away the blood stains on the floor. Soon, the place became extremely clean, and everyone acted as if nothing had happened, smiling and enjoying the most precious moment of family affection in the world.

Yang Xianrong forced a smile, drank the hot tea brought by Sima Bijing, and asked casually: "Is the prince going to live in the palace too?"

"Empress Hui doesn't know that Pi'er is now the Commander-in-Chief of the Military and Horse Division and does not live in the palace. He is still living in the prince's residence in the south of the city. Later, the affairs of the Northern Army Mansion will also be managed by him. It should be It's convenient to move to Beijun Mansion. It's so close to the palace." Concubine Pei smiled and took another sip of hot tea, and affectionately embraced Sima Pi's youngest daughter, who was still over one year old. The toddler didn't understand anything, but when she saw the elegant grandma smiling brightly at her, she cried "Wow".

There was a trace of boredom in Concubine Pei's eyes. Sima Bi immediately took the child over and threw it to his concubine. He said with a smile: "This child is not sensible. Let her be trained by her mother in the future. No matter whether she is beaten or scolded, she will be punished." It’s okay. Mother is so good, so of course she’s right.”

After hearing this, Concubine Pei laughed again and reached out to pat his head gently. Sima Pi burst into tears immediately and said loudly: "Mother, my son has been waiting for this moment for a long time. How many times have he dreamed back on the battlefield, thinking that if the mother could pat her son on the head like this, it would be the greatest satisfaction in this life."

Concubine Pei's tears also flowed down, and she reached out and patted his head.

The women behind Sima Pi cried together again, and the scene was extremely touching.

Only Yang Xianrong touched the gold and jade earrings beside his ears and laughed.
