Fortunately, both of them had their heads buried, so no one saw them.
After he kowtowed, Su Mu Qing picked up a piece of paper beside him, lit it up with a candle, and threw it into the metal basin.
He passed some to Jiang Wanyan, and the two of them knelt side by side, not saying a word.
Halfway through the paper, Jiang Wanyan thought that this silence would at least last until it was over. Unexpectedly, Su Mu Qing suddenly opened his mouth and said: ”Didn't you always want to know about my mother? I'll tell you now. ”
”Now?” Jiang Wanyan was a little shocked. Did he have to say all this in front of the tablet?
However, Su Mu Qing was not afraid. He nodded, and his eyes reflected the flames as he said, ”My mother's mother, the Wei family, is one of the three great families in the Xia Kingdom. Their power in the Xia Kingdom is great, so my mother has always had people that we want to enter the palace for.”
”My grandfather was the current emperor's teacher of enlightenment, and after ignoring politics, my grandfather replaced him. At that time, the Wei family was the most illustrious family in the Xia Kingdom, and countless people tried their best to get close to them.” Su Muqing paused and sat up straighter. ”And at that time, the Emperor was still young. He was in need of the Wei family the most, so he always gave them authority.”
When Grandfather and Grandfather sent my mother to the palace, the empress dowager was very unhappy. She felt that my mother was an explosive the Wei family sent to the Emperor's side, so for various reasons, the empress dowager promoted my Wen Family's daughter to the palace. Because my mother's mother's family was the Wei family, when we entered the palace, we sealed the Imperial Consort Shu. At this point, Su Mu Qing suddenly raised his head to look at Jiang Wan Yan and chuckled, ”My mother is very beautiful.”
These words were said randomly, causing Jiang Wanyan, who was completely focused on listening to the story, to be confused, ”Ah?”
Seeing that she had gone stupid, Su Mu Qing suddenly grinned. ”You're also very beautiful.”
This time, Jiang Wanyan's face turned completely red, and she immediately lowered her head and said, ”I'm talking about serious matters! No one can flourish to the extreme, and then what! ”
Su Mu Qing smiled for a while before restraining his smile. ”The daughter of the Wen Family entered the palace and only gave a small title of nobility, and it was even given under the insistence of the empress dowager. At that time, the Wen Family wasn't considered a big family, but because he was friends with the empress dowager's family, the empress dowager favored his.”
”I heard from the seniors in the palace that when my mother first entered the palace, His Majesty really liked her. At that time, he doted on her a lot, and young emperors and beautiful concubines always had many possibilities of stories. It's not going to kill her. ” Su Mu Qing took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
He had never stayed behind to call anyone his father. In his heart, that man who was so high and mighty was not his father, but the Emperor.
