emperor cold concubine

Chapter 153
Concubine Li Shu has a straightforward personality. Although she is nearly forty years old, she looks no different from a girl in her early twenties. Su Mo felt very happy chatting with her.

Gossip is just to pass the time. Su Mo is cold-tempered in the 21st century, and she rarely has the chance to chat with others. She doesn't have extra time to waste time talking. She even has no female friends at all.

Concubine Li Shu has the same temper as hers, and the two chatted vigorously. Although Su Mo spent most of the time listening, it did not affect the pleasant atmosphere.

Unknowingly, more than half of the time has passed. Concubine Li Shu talked about the past many years ago, and she could clearly hear the sense of gratitude in her tone.

"Those princes who don't have mothers and concubines, under the empress's deliberate pampering, all of them have developed a savage, savage and unprogressive personality, wandering around all day long, only my fourteenth son, in this turbid courtyard, can remain cheerful and innocent Temperament, and live a carefree life," Concubine Li Shu sighed softly at this point, "Speaking of it, it's all thanks to his wise grandfather and great concubine mother."

Shisi listened to his mother and concubine bragging all the way, and the corners of his eyes twitched frequently, and finally he couldn't help laughing, "Mother and concubine, modesty is a virtue, can you save some for others to praise?"

Concubine Li Shu and Su Mo were sitting at the top of the left and right respectively. On the coffee table in the middle was a pot of fragrant tea and several plates of delicate snacks.

Concubine Li Shu was not angry when she was teased by her son, she picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his son's mouth, scolding with a smile: "Damn boy, this is called true temperament, I really don't know how to appreciate it."

Fourteen's mouth was full of pastries, and he slurred his words: "Ninth sister-in-law is still there... Concubine Mu, please pay attention to your image."

Su Mo drank tea quietly, her expression was habitually careless, but she could see a rare joy in her brows. When she raised her head, she looked at Fourteen's pale embarrassment, and pursed her lips. Jokingly said: "His Royal Highness King Yun has grown up, and he also knows the importance of maintaining his image and majesty. It's rare."

Fourteen Jun blushed, and looked at Su Mo angrily, "Sister-in-law Nine!"

Concubine Li Shu smiled, and suddenly sighed: "At the beginning, I also had the intention of letting Fourteen compete for the throne."

Fourteen felt a chill in his heart, and looked at her in surprise: "Concubine mother?"

There was no strange expression on Su Mo's face, and he slowly sipped his tea, waiting for Concubine Li Shu's remaining words.

"The empress is in power, and there is the Murong family behind her. Concubine Han Gui wants to succeed King An, and she also has the support of the Han family of Cangzhou. Although she is a businessman, she can't play a big role in the fight for the throne, but her huge financial resources can hold back the Murong family. With the Phoenix King's army." Recounting the past court situation, Concubine Li Shu's smile contained some complicated things, no matter how cheerful and eclectic her personality was, once she was in the vortex of power, she always had a far-reaching perspective than ordinary people "As the elder of the three dynasties, my father's roots are not insignificant. Even when the Murong family was in the limelight, the queen and Murong Ting did not dare to touch him casually. However, my father is already old, and I always have to plan for the future, even if I don't. I myself must keep my only son."

This is human nature, Su Mo thought, if Concubine Li Shu really just wanted to spend her life safely in the harem without fighting or fighting, it would be too stupid.Li Youran is indeed old, and there will always be a day when she will not be able to withstand birth, old age, sickness and death. At that time, orphans and widowed mothers, where will there be a shelter in this deep palace that eats people without spitting out their flesh and blood?

"Father is in charge of the household department and the official department among the six departments. He has countless disciples, and his power in the court should not be underestimated. If I really want to fight, it is not impossible to win." Speaking of this, Concubine Li Shu Paused, then smiled lightly, relieved, "I discussed this matter with my father in secret, I thought he would think it over again, but unexpectedly, after listening to my words, he said 'absolutely not' without hesitation, like a basin of cold water, Instantly poured a chill into my heart."

Fourteen secretly glanced at Su Mo, and saw that her expression was as usual, she hadn't changed her face because of the previous "unruly and ambitious", but her heart was still beating drums, uneasy.

He really didn't expect that the mother and concubine who had nothing to do with the world and was carefree would ever have such a delicate thought.

"I was very angry at the time, so I asked him directly why not? If King Feng succeeds to the throne and Murong Qing is respected as the empress dowager, with her cruel methods and narrow-mindedness, how can there be a way for us, mother and son, to survive?"

It was a long night, we talked all night long, the time passed unknowingly, the pot of tea was empty, and more than half of the desserts were gone.

"That night, I learned something from my father. To the royal family, perhaps it should be said to be a secret." With a sigh of relief, Concubine Li Shu picked up the teapot and wanted to pour herself a cup of tea to quench her thirst, but found that the teapot was empty. Kong couldn't help but said to Fourteen: "Go and get a pot of tea."

Fourteen was holding a silver teapot with a blue patterned dragon bottom, and stood there in a daze, at a loss.

"What's wrong?" Concubine Li Shu glared at him.

"Mother concubine asked my son to refill tea?" Fourteen looked at his mother, then at the precious teapot in his hand, with a strange expression on his face.

Concubine Li Shu reprimanded angrily: "The maidservants have all fallen asleep, there are only you, me and Mo'er here, if you don't go, why don't you let me go?"

"But," Fourteen muttered in a low voice, "I don't know where to get some tea..."

Concubine Li Shu choked, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, "You have grown up in the palace, and you don't know where you got the tea you drink every day. When you walk out of the palace, don't say you are me!" Son, I am really ashamed of this palace."

The corners of Shisi's mouth twitched, his eyebrows frowned, he turned around and walked out with the teapot in hand.

He didn't know that there were many guards on duty at night in the palace, so he would know if he just asked.

"The family is unlucky, I taught Mo'er to read jokes." Concubine Li Shu sighed.

Su Mo suppressed a smile, and shook her head lightly: "No, Fourteen's temperament is very cute."

A young boy who is now an adult man, was even crowned king and said to be cute... Concubine Li Shu couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth again.

Su Mo said: "The secret that Ge Lao said is related to Cang Hao?"

"Yes." Concubine Shu smiled lightly, "Father said, there is no need to worry about the future. It is impossible for King Feng to inherit Cang's family, and it is impossible for Murong Qing to sit on the empress dowager's throne one day. At the beginning, I don't understand, it wasn't until I caught a glimpse of that young man who looked like a celestial being that I realized that the future master of the world that my father said was not fabricated out of thin air."

Su Mo's expression was thoughtful: "Have you seen Cang Hao when he was young?"

Concubine Shu nodded, "I don't know if it's a coincidence or fate. At that time, I even suspected whether it was a hallucination, but I heard an ethereal music that seemed to come from the distant sky. Out of curiosity, I couldn't help subconsciously I searched along the sound of the music, and then saw the white-clothed young man playing the piano in mid-air, as cold as jade, with picturesque features, at that time there was only one thought in his mind, that this is the exiled immortal who descended from the mortal world."

Hehe laughed, Concubine Shu rarely laughed at herself: "Fortunately, my reason returned in time, so I didn't turn myself into a person who deceives people. It's just that since then, I have really given up the idea of ​​fighting for power. What I want has never been Power is nothing more than Fourteen's safety."

Su Mo said with a faint smile: "Shishi has such a grandfather and a mother and concubine like you, it is indeed his life's luck."

Born into a royal family, standing in the imperial court, not being tempted by power, fame and fortune, and always maintaining a clear body and mind in the muddy mud, it is really too difficult for most people.

As soon as the topic changed, Concubine Shu looked at Su Mo and asked with interest: "When does the emperor plan to marry you?"

Su Mo's brows were lightly raised, a wanton smile appeared on her lips, and she said in a cool tone: "He hasn't stopped marrying me yet."

Uh... Concubine Li Shu was stunned, "How could that be?"

"Besides, this girl has no plans to marry him yet." Su Mo added slowly.

Concubine Shu was speechless for a moment.

After a while, she asked persistently: "Then when do you plan to marry him?" Her tone was as if she was going to marry her daughter-in-law to death.

when?To be honest, Su Mo herself doesn't know, she will go to Jiuluo in a while, and it's not clear what will happen and how long the delay will be, and it's really uncertain when she will marry Cang Hao.

However, remembering the last time Cang Hao asked her, "When do you want to?" probably the dominance is now in her upper hand, so Su Mo closed her eyes and thought for a moment, and her lowered eyes glanced at the maroon hair on her shoulders. With beautiful hair and a flash of light in his eyes, he seemed to suddenly think of something interesting, and slowly raised his head to look at Concubine Shu's delicate face like a 20-year-old woman, with a slight smile on her lips, "I think, Probably...when my hair reaches my waist, I may marry him."

Waist-length hair? Concubine Shu subconsciously looked at Su Mo's shoulder-length hair, and couldn't help being speechless for a while.

Looking up, the east has turned pale. It turned out that the chatting time passed so quickly. Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that she had never been so relaxed before, and enjoyed the warm and happy atmosphere very much. .

Standing up, Su Mo said: "I've chatted for too long tonight, I haven't enjoyed it enough, let's continue next time, I'll go to Jiuhua Palace to see Cang Hao."

Su Mo was not the only one who felt unsatisfied, but Concubine Shu was also satisfied. Although Su Mo was a bit cold-tempered in front of others, she and Concubine Shu got along very well. This night, for both of them, obviously passed a very relaxed and happy night .

Shisi came in with a teapot, saw that Su Mo had stood up and was about to leave, she couldn't help but subconsciously said, "Sister-in-law Jiu is leaving now? It's still early."

Su Mo smiled, "Yeah, it's still early, the genius just came out."

Uh……

"Nothing to do recently, choose a sunny day, let's go horseback riding."

The corner of Fourteen's mouth raised, obviously very willing to obey: "Okay, let's have a competition at the Royal Racecourse in the suburbs."

A competition... Su Mo gave him a strange look, cleverly said nothing, said goodbye to Concubine Shu, turned around and left.
