Chapter 22 Gossip (1)
Liu knew that Shu'er had never heard of her own life experience. Aunt Lin had always raised and cared for Shu'er as her own daughter, and she was definitely reluctant to tell her about her life experience. There was a gap between the two of them. Although the palace officials had discussed it behind their backs,
, but that was when Shu'er still couldn't remember. Seven years have passed, Aunt Xiao and his father have been gone for a long time, and Aunt Lin has been banned from interacting with outsiders. Everyone has gradually forgotten who Liu Shu's biological mother is.
, or even if he remembers it, there is nothing to discuss. Liu never thought about when his sister would know about his life experience, nor from whom she would hear about it. Maybe the later the better, the later she heard about it,
Only then can she have more carefree time. Maybe when she grows up, Aunt Lin will tell her personally that this is the best answer. But she didn't expect that Shu'er would have to bear the consequences of knowing the truth when she was only seven years old.
of pain.
Liu Shu asked tremblingly: "They said that I am not my mother's biological daughter? They said that my biological mother is someone else?"
Liu held his sister's cold little hand and said, "Shu'er, don't think too much. No matter whose daughter you are, you are still my sister!"
Liu Shu looked at the calm Liu in panic: "Did you always know?"
Liu nodded slightly, and for the first time, she felt that nodding could be so heavy. Anyway, since she would know who her biological mother was sooner or later, instead of hearing it from the gossip of the palace people, it would be better to hear it from herself.
"Shu'er, I was three years old when you were born. I have already remembered it. Of course I know that you were not born in Jinxiu Garden, but were later taken to Aunt Lin."
Liu Shu opened his eyes wide: "Then why did you never tell me?"
Liu still held her little hand and said gently: "At first, I thought Aunt Lin had told you. Since you never mentioned it, I naturally didn't want to mention it. Later, I saw that your relationship with Aunt Lin was better than mine.
The relationship between the mother and the queen is much closer, and I guess maybe she has never told you, which is fine, so why should I talk too much?"
Liu Shu turned from panic to fear. Her hands became even colder. She lowered her head and said, "It turns out that everyone knows except myself."
Liu touched her head soothingly and said, "You don't blame me for not telling you, do you?"
Liu Shu shook his head, nodded again, paused, and shook his head again.
Liu saw his sister crestfallen like an abandoned kitten, and suddenly he felt pity and sadness. He hugged her and begged: "Sorry, please don't blame my brother, okay?"
Liu Shu sobbed and nodded. "Brother, who is my biological mother?"
Liu said: "Your biological mother's name is Xiao Yi, she is the princess of Qi State. I only met her a few times when I was a child. I don't have much impression. I only remember that she is very good-looking and doesn't like to talk much."
"Princess of Qi State? Qi State...where is Qi State? I have only heard of Chen State, Chu State, and maybe Shu State and Zhao State."
"This White Jade Palace used to be the palace of Qi State. Qi State was destroyed by our grandfather King Wu of Song Dynasty and has long since ceased to exist."
"Did the princess of Qi... marry our father before the destruction of Qi?"
"No, I heard that Aunt Xiao married my father ten years after the Qi Kingdom was destroyed. I haven't asked about these matters in detail. You should go back and ask Aunt Lin."
"Aunt Lin..." Liu Shu repeated in a low voice, "Aunt Lin... she is obviously my mother! My mother is so good to me, how could she not be my mother?" Thinking of this,
Liu Shu started to cry.
Liu still hugged her and said: "Good Shu'er, good Shu'er, Aunt Lin is your mother! As soon as you were born, Aunt Xiao left. It was Aunt Lin who took you from Suhua Palace that day.
You were raised by Jinxiu Garden. She has raised you for seven years, and your relationship is so good. What does it matter whether she is your biological mother or not?"
Liu Shu wiped away tears and asked, "How did you know that my mother took me to Jinxiu Garden that day?"
Liu said: "I remember this very clearly. The day you were born was the same day that the news of your father's death came to the palace. I was crying sadly in the queen's bedroom, when suddenly someone from the palace sent word that Empress Xiao of Suhua Palace was here.
I gave birth to a daughter. I wiped away my tears and was about to go to Suhua Palace to see you as a newborn. But before I left, another palace official came in to report that Empress Xiao died in childbirth. The queen mother refused to let me go.
. I also begged my mother to adopt you, but my mother said that I would have to wait until my enthronement was successfully completed before I could do anything else. There was a lot of chaos in the palace that day. I heard that many people in the palace had slipped out of the palace. My mother and grandma were very busy.
Don't be ridiculous. No matter how much I begged, it was useless. Finally, someone came to report that all the palace attendants in Suhua Palace had run away. Lady Lin from Jinxiu Garden was afraid that no one would take care of you in the panic, so she sent someone to take you to Jinxiu Garden.
, and you will be adopted in Jinxiu Garden from now on. The queen mother said that Aunt Lin has no children and is grounded, so it would be a good idea to let her raise you."
Liu Shu couldn't help crying when she heard these shocking past events. It turned out that she had been an orphan without a father and a mother since she was born. It turned out that her mother hated her because she was a natural disaster...
Liu patted her back lightly and said: "Good Shu'er, don't cry. It's not a big deal. I just know who your biological mother is. You are still the princess of Song Dynasty, you are still my sister, and you are still the princess of Song Dynasty.
Aunt Lin's good daughter, you are who you are, and it has nothing to do with who gave birth to you."
Liu Shu felt that what his brother said made sense, so he picked up his sleeve and wiped his nose and tears, and gradually calmed down. "Let's go, brother, it's time for you to go back for dinner."
Liu pulled his sister to stand up and said, "Come, I will carry you."
Liu Shu had begged Liu countless times to carry her on his back, but he never agreed. He either said that she would sink, or that he was the King of the Song Dynasty and his body was so precious that he could not be ill... But today, he actually took the initiative to carry her. Liu Shu
His mood suddenly improved. He jumped on Liu's back, put his arms around his neck and said, "Brother, no matter who my biological mother is, you are still my brother, my biological brother, right?"
Liu carried her on his back and ran a few laps on the star-catching platform. As he ran, he said loudly: "Yes! I will always be! I will always be the brother pig of you, a sly little pig!"
Liu Shu burst into tears and laughed, his laughter as clear as a bell. "Oh! Oh! You admit that you are a pig! You are a shameless pig!"

Returning to Jinxiu Garden, Liu Shu sat down next to Lin Long and buried himself in eating. Seeing that she was no longer chattering like usual, Lin Long came back to report what he saw and heard outside, and asked softly: "What's wrong with our little baby? What's going on?"
Haven’t eaten for days!”
Liu Shu didn't know how to face this "mother" who had been nurturing her since she was born but had been hiding the truth from her, so he had to continue eating.
Lin Long asked with a smile: "Are you so hungry? Is it because you spent a lot of energy competing with others in the morning? Or is it that the food cooked by my mother suddenly became extremely delicious?"
Liu Shu was trying hard to put rice into her mouth when she suddenly thought that over the years, every meal she had eaten had been cooked by her mother. When she was sick, her mother made medicine for her and fed her the medicine. She couldn't sleep well.
At that time, it was her mother who held her in her arms and sang to her and told her stories. When she was wronged outside, it was her mother who took the trouble to enlighten her and make her happy. She was scratched by a wooden sword in the morning, and her mother was afraid of scars on her arms.
She also shed a few tears... She seemed to have never seen her mother shed tears since she could remember... As she thought about it, she began to blame herself again, thinking to herself: "My mother is my mother, even if I am not her
Biological, what does it matter? She never told me my life experience, she must be afraid that I would be separated from her. So should I tell her that I already know? Then will she be sad? Or me.
I should pretend not to know, so that we can still be as good as before. But after all, I already know, will she find out that I already know?"
Liu Shu was struggling while picking up the rice, and his tears fell into the rice without even realizing it.
Seeing her daughter suddenly crying, Lin Long said distressedly: "What's wrong, honey? Tell your mother, and she will help you vent your anger!"
Liu Shu couldn't hold it in anymore, threw away his job, threw himself into Lin Long's arms and burst into tears, his heartbreaking cry. Lin Long didn't know why, so he could only caress her back again and again, and whispered: "Baby, baby."
Don’t cry, don’t cry, mother is here! Mother is here!”
Liu Shu was tired from crying and didn't bother to come up with a result. He said perfunctorily: "My brother will have a close guard to play with him tomorrow. I can't play with Shu'er anymore..."
