Chapter 140 Shangguan Xiaoxiao doesn't want her parents to worry
The day after Feng Lingzun agreed with Shangguan Xiaoxiao to leave the palace, she took Xiaocui back to Zuo Xiangfu.
Because he didn't want more people to know, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was very low-key, so there were only a few concubines who had a good relationship with her in the palace, knowing that she was allowed to go home to save her relatives by the emperor's grace.
The Lingyun Palace is still open for business as usual.
After all, for Shangguan Xiaoxiao, if you leave the palace by yourself, you can't let the business stop.
Back at Zuo Xiang's mansion, Zuo Xiang saw Shangguan smiling again, tearing up with excitement.
From his point of view, how much favor his daughter has received to be able to come out of the palace every few days.
However, if the favor is too great, it will definitely be envied by others.
Shangguan smiled and explained to Zuo Xiang with a smile, saying that because he helped the emperor take care of several important banquets, the emperor agreed to go home again.
After all, it's just a reward.
"I still have to thank the emperor for his grace. After all, not every concubine in the harem has such treatment and can have the opportunity to go out of the palace and go home again."
As an elder, Zuo Xiang is grateful to Feng Lingzun on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is constantly reminding Shangguan Xiaoxiao that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, so don't be careless.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao had long been accustomed to the life in the palace, and naturally understood this truth.
"Dad, don't worry. Your daughter is very experienced in how to seek more happiness in the palace, so you don't have to worry so much."
"Hey!"
Zuo Xiang looked at Shangguan's smiling eyes, and sighed leisurely, "It would have been great if you hadn't been allowed to enter the palace, now not only have you lost your freedom, but you have to face the intrigues of the harem every day. It's really hard for you."
[If you hadn't let your daughter enter the palace, she probably wouldn't have become a short-lived ghost. 】
[If Prime Minister Zuo knew that his daughter had died in the palace, I don't know how he would react. 】
[It must be very sad to see him so distressed for his daughter, right? 】
[Since I am Shangguan Xiaoxiao now, don't let him worry about himself anymore. 】
"Don't worry, my daughter will handle those little tricks. By the way, where's my mother?"
Not wanting to let the Prime Minister continue to investigate further, so as not to reveal his secrets, Shangguan Xiaoxiao simply changed the subject and boiled water to find his mother.
"Your mother is busy in the back kitchen."
Speaking of this, Zuo Xiang showed a gratified smile on his face, "Your mother said, the last time I came here in a hurry, I didn't prepare your favorite food for you, this time I must have everything prepared, so that you can stay at home for a few days with peace of mind. "
"Is there something delicious?"
When it comes to food, Shangguan smiled and looked very excited.
What the dignified etiquette of a noble concubine, what the manners of a harem empress.
When you get home, you should be free, and you should abandon all restrictions.
"Then I'm really hungry. I want to go to the kitchen first and see my mother, is that okay?"
"Go."
After Shangguan smiled and got the agreement, he happily went back to the kitchen.
Zuo Xiang looked at the back of his daughter, smiled and shook his head.
"Now I'm a concubine, and I'm still like a child when I get home."
Although it was a reproach, the tone was full of pampering.
That night, the family of three sat together for dinner.
This is a rare family reunion since Shangguan Xiaoxiao entered the palace.
Zuo Xiang and his wife were eager to put all the dishes on the table for Shangguan to eat with a smile.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao, who had never experienced family affection in his previous life, was doted on by his parents for the first time, and was so moved that he almost shed tears.
When Mrs. Shangguan saw Shangguan Xiaoxiao's expression, she only thought she was missing home, and felt more distressed for her daughter. She couldn't help but blame Cheng Zuo.
"Tell me about you. At the beginning, you insisted on being a prime minister, assisting the emperor, and even letting your only daughter into the palace. You must know how fierce the harem fights are. I don't know how much I have endured so much to be able to sit on the current position of imperial concubine."
After Zuo Xiang heard this, he put down his chopsticks in silence.
On the one hand, it is the country, and on the other hand, it is my daughter. It is indeed difficult for people to choose.
Seeing that the warm atmosphere just now suddenly became heavy, Shangguan smiled and said with a smile, "Father, mother, don't be sad, in fact, I had a good time in the palace, and the emperor treated me well. You can rest assured, No one else can bully me, Shangguan, with a smile."
The Zuo Xiang couple looked at each other.
They did find out that Shangguan Xiaoxiao, who came back from the palace, has indeed changed a lot from before.
But this is also the reason why they feel more distressed.
If a person hadn't encountered something special, he wouldn't be so easily changed into another appearance.
"Daughter, mother knows that the emperor treats you well, but if you want to gain a firm foothold in the palace, you should have a child with the emperor."
"Cough cough cough~"
Shangguan smiled and was almost choked to death by a mouthful of soup
"Mother, is it too early for you to say this?"
"Why is it early?"
Mrs. Shangguan said in a serious tone, "You have not been in the palace for a short time, and you have also taken the position of the noble concubine. If you don't give the royal heir to the royal family, don't say that the queen mother has an opinion, the concubines below will also discuss it. Only bad."
"But."
Speaking of this, Shangguan smiled and didn't know how to refute.
After all, she and the emperor are still innocent, and of course it is impossible to have children.
But she can't tell them this, otherwise, with the thoughts of the two couples, she doesn't know what to worry about.
Therefore, Shangguan Xiaoxiao could only vaguely say, "Mother, I understand what you are saying, but a few days ago, your daughter's body has been ill, but it doesn't matter, the emperor asked the imperial doctor to adjust the body, I believe it is very I'll have a baby soon."
Mrs. Shangguan held Shangguan's smiling hand worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell? How is it now?"
"No, it's better now. It's just that I wasn't used to the life in the palace at first, and I always contracted the cold, but it's all right now. Look, am I not very healthy now?"
After finishing speaking, Shangguan smiled and stood up and jumped a few times.
"It's fine."
"Okay, Dad, Mom, I finally got out of the palace, let's have a good meal, and don't talk about those unhappy things, right?"
Shangguan said with a smile, while bringing vegetables to his parents, and at the same time saying, "The emperor only allows me to come out for three days, so tomorrow I want to go for a walk on the street, or I will not know if I will have a chance to come out again in the future."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao in her previous life also didn't like to stay in the house all day. She is extremely talented and likes to sing poetry against talented people.
She also knew Liu Cheng at that time.
"You are a noble concubine now, and you shouldn't openly appear on the street. What if you are in danger?"
The left side disagreed.
"They don't know the concubine, even if I stand in front of them, they don't know!"
