20 What I must to do? (2/2)
”Now I also know why you can be friends with Yao Mama,” I looked at my mother. She nodded his head and smiled.
”Mother feel sorry for her, right?” I asked her. She nodded.
”Anyone will feel sorry for Yao Mama. She became a servant at the Palace at a very young age and was assigned to serve Xiao Junwangye's mother who was pregnant,” she sighed
”When Xiao Junwangye was born, she was only eighteen years old. Yao Mama feels indebted to Xiao Junwangye's mother. She begged Bixia to take care of Xiao Junwangye. There is a lot of suffering that she experienced when she take care of Xiao Junwangye, ”my mother continued her words.
I imagined what my mother said. Of course it's hard to take care of Xiao Junwangye because of his background. Yao Mama knew that Xiao Junwangye's mother was a traitor to the country, but insisted on taking care of Xiao Junwangye. Maybe, everyone refused to help her when take care of my husband.
”I think Yao Mama is like my own young sister,” my mother told me. She looks at me softly.
”You must respect her as you respect me, Xia He,” my mother asked me and I nodded my head. She said the same words when I wasn't married to Hui An.
”Xia He promised, mother,” I said earnestly. She smiled after hearing my promise.
”But now I have a problem, mother,” I told her softly.
”What is the problem? Please, tell me! ”
”I don't know what I have to do so that Bixia respects my husband and gives him confidence to work in government or the military,” I continued my words. My mother sighed after hearing my heart's content.
”I understand your feeling. I also did not understand why Bixia did not see that her son had a lot of potential and kindness, ”mother answered me then took a cup and drank its contents.
”I have some advice but honestly, I don't know the effectiveness of my advice,” she said. I nodded my head.
”Please, tell me!” I begged her.
”Every early spring, Bixia holds a big banquet at the Palace. Bixia often gave gifts at the time, ”my mother continued her statement. She spoke slowly. Her words made me remember the spring dinner at the Palace. My father often takes me to the banquet.
The princes, princesses, noble man and noble woman will give interesting art performances.The person who gave the best show will get a prize from Bixia. The prize is not just money, but it can be something else. Bixia once gave promotions to people who gave their best performances.
Thinking about this, an idea crossed my mind.
”If I and Xiao Junwangye can provide an interesting show, Bixia might give a gift to Xiao Junwangye,” I said enthusiastically. My mother nods my head. He smiled.
”You should try it, Xia He. At least at that time, Bixia will know your husband's potential, ”my mother agreed to my proposal. I smile. My heart is relieved now.
There's nothing wrong with trying, right?
