Chapter 15: Mother Liu
Yuan Xi frowned, "What's wrong?"
"Second Young Master, I'm here." The eunuch hurriedly pointed to a huge bedroom not far away, protected by maids outside the door and said softly.
Yuan Xi glanced at it and waved, "You go!"
"Yes, the second young master" the eunuch bowed his head and left.
Yuan Xi went straight to the gate of the bedroom, and the two maids guarding the gate immediately bowed and said, "Meet the second son."
"Is your mother here?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile.
"Here, I will pass it on to you immediately."
Yuan Xi nodded and waited patiently at the door.
After a while, the maid ran out again and said respectfully: "Second Master, Madam let you in."
"Okay!" Yuan Xi followed the maid into the wide hall and saw a middle-aged woman appearing in front of her, with a golden hairpin on her head and a tassel drooping. Although she was over forty years, her beauty when she was young could still be seen between her eyebrows and eyes. However, her lips were a little too thin, which made her originally dignified appearance look more slight and cruel. However, her eyes were surprisingly gentle.
This is Yuan Xi's mother, Liu, who was originally named Liu Changxi, and Yuan Shao's second wife. She gave birth to three legitimate sons, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang. She has a very high status in the mansion. Even Yuan Shao often gave her some courtesy because of her three legitimate sons.
"Son, pay homage to my mother." Yuan Xi immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Liu quickly stood up and smiled and said, "My son, please get up quickly, have you recovered from illness?"
"It's already done, thank you for your concern." Yuan Xi stood up and smiled and said, "I haven't come for a while. Mother, are you in good health?"
"Okay, very OK. You came here just now," Liu asked.
"Yes, my father destroyed Gongsun Zan and unify the four continents. Lord Ju asked us to go over and make a triumphant matter." Yuan Xi looked happy.
Liu nodded, with a little excitement on his face, "Now that the entire north is unified, you must work hard to help your third brother defend the Yuan family's territory in the future."
Yuan Xi smiled bitterly, "Mother, my son is far less than my third brother, it's enough to be able to guard one side."
Hearing this, a trace of care flashed in Liu's eyes and said softly: "Xi'er, mom also knows that you are wronged. It's not that my mother doesn't help you, but that Shang'er is indeed better than you. Your father also likes him. It's hard for you to get the position of prince, but don't worry, as long as you have your mother and your third brother, you will definitely enjoy wealth forever."
"My son understands, thank you for your mother's love. I don't care about the so-called great cause, but I'm worried that if I go out in the future, I will probably not be able to meet my mother for a long time." Yuan Xi used the energy to feed her breasts, and finally shed a few tears in her eyes, looking very sad.
Liu was shocked in an instant, and hurriedly walked to Yuan Xi's side, grabbed his wrist, and comforted him: "It's okay, just keep your mother in mind."
"I don't have any talent, I just want to take Mi'er to guard my father and live a peaceful life. But recently I heard that someone is not allowed to take Mi'er to leave Yecheng." Yuan Xi looked sad and quietly pinched his thighs, making him cry more.
A cold light flashed in Liu's eyes. Her natural way was because of the so-called queen's destiny. She quickly comforted her: "Xi'er, don't worry, you have given up the position of prince. Zhen Mi is your wife, life and death. Whoever wants to break up you, will your mother fight with him?"
"Thank you, mother" Yuan Xi looked grateful and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This foreshadowing was finally buried. With his own reminder, I believe that someone would stop him and Liu would take action. As expected, crying is a powerful weapon. No wonder Liu Bei was able to become the emperor's emperor with his peerless ability. But this is now, when he is strong in the future, it is because others will cry to him.
"Stop crying, it's so big," Liu laughed and shouted to the maid not far away: "Go and bring the glutinous rice cake that the second young master likes to eat."
“Yes, madam”
After the pastry was brought, Yuan Xi took a piece of it lightly, took a bite, pretended to be surprised and said, "It's delicious."
Liu immediately smiled with satisfaction, "Then eat more"
Yuan Xi nodded quickly, after eating a few pieces, he said indifferently: "Mother, when I came today, I saw Yuan Ping."
"Yuan Ping" Liu frowned immediately, and the concubine's son was even worse than a slave in her heart.
"A few eunuchs are bullying him. I think he is really pitiful. He must have no credit for the Yuan family's great cause. He is a brother. I will give him a military marquis and ask him to join the army in my Iron Guard Camp. What do you think, mother?" Yuan Xi asked casually, with a deep contempt on his face.
Hearing this, Liu immediately said with dissatisfaction: "Xi'er, how can you date a decent son with a lowly concubine? This not only damages your identity, but also makes others gossip."
"Mother, this is what I think. He stays in the house and will only make you angry and affect your mood. Moreover, if he has some other thoughts, he will cause some trouble for his third brother. It is better to arrange him into my Iron Guard Camp. I will take him away from him in the future and leave Yecheng forever. This will not only relieve you, Mother, but also reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles," Yuan Xi explained with a smile.
Liu frowned, finally sighed, looked at Yuan Xi and said helplessly: "Don't hide it from me, after saying so much, you just feel sorry for him, Xier, your heart is too soft."
"Why, mother, do you agree?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile on his face.
Liu couldn't help but glance at him, "Agree, my son is rare to ask me once, just take him away!"
Liu didn't take this little sister seriously at all.
"Thank you, mother," Yuan Xi said happily.
Liu smiled gently, pointed to the pastry and said, "Eat, eat more."
After lunch, Yuan Xi respectfully bid farewell. At this time, a woman wearing red clothes and golden hairpin, with a pretty appearance, but with a sharp look in her eyes, looked at Liu and smiled: "The second young master is really filial to his wife. She just sent a priceless jade Guanyin a few days ago. Today, she happened to be sick and came to pay a visit."
Liu shook his head and sighed: "Xi'er is too kind. Compared to Shang'er, he lacks the domineering power that an emperor needs. I originally hoped that he could hold on to Shang'er's strength. Now it seems that it is probably difficult. Not only can't help, but he will probably also pull his back. So he would let him go out and be a senior official in the future. He will be a prince of Xiaoyao in the future and enjoy wealth and prosperity peacefully, and don't involve conspiracy and tricks."
The maid in red nodded and suddenly said with a serious expression: "Madam is really good at it, but if the eldest son knew the truth and ascended to the throne, she would probably not treat the second son like she is now."
"Hmph" Liu suddenly said coldly, with a ruthless look on his face: "Everyone thinks that Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang was born to me. In fact, Yuan Tan is the son of the bitch before. Only Monk Xier was born to me. I have raised him for decades, but I didn't expect that a disaster would be raised. Wait! As long as I am here, he will not want to become the prince. The Yuan family's country belongs to me, and no one can take it away."
