Chapter 577: Grandparents vs. Grandchildren
Chen Mi looked at Chen Fengping's hunched back and spoke first.
"Grandfather, over the years, no matter how many paintings by famous artists there are, you still like this one the most. Grandfather still remembers that when I was a child, I asked you why you liked this painting? But you never answered. After asking once, I didn't dare to ask again."
Chen Fengping turned around and looked at Chen Mi
He personally raised this granddaughter since she was a child.
Among all the children in Duke Chen's mansion, Chen Mi's temperament is most similar to his.
He was once very satisfied
But tonight, after meeting the queen, he was no longer satisfied when looking at Chen Mi.
He, Chen Fengping's granddaughter, must not lose to any other woman.
But tonight, they, the grandfather and grandson, lost to a woman!
Chen Fengping would not vent his anger on himself, so he would only blame Chen Mi.
Chen Fengping's gaze as he looked at Chen Mi became colder and colder.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice became even gloomier, without a trace of warmth.
"From childhood to adulthood, I have spent so much effort to train you, sent you to the palace, and supported you to become a concubine. But Mi'er, you disappoint me. You lost to the queen. Now, the emperor's heart is with the queen. You have been in this harem for many years, but you have not even been able to get the position of a concubine. From childhood to adulthood, your grandfather has told you that if you want to do something, you must do it the best, but you have done nothing."
Chen Mi held her stomach and walked to the chair next to her and sat down.
Looks very calm
"From childhood to adulthood, Grandfather, you asked me to hide my edge and strive to be the best in everything. I have never disobeyed you. When I was a child, you said that your granddaughter was the future of the Duke of Chen's Mansion and would enter the palace. Then you knew that I never had a choice.
"I listened to you, and when I grew up, I entered the palace, and walked step by step to where I am today. You were not satisfied with me being a secret concubine. Now, the emperor has promised me that as long as I give birth to the baby safely, he will make me a noble concubine. What grandfather wishes for can be realized in three months at most. Grandfather, you must be satisfied."
Chen Mi rarely spoke while staring into Chen Fengping's eyes like he did now.
Because in the Duke of Chen's mansion, no one dared to do this, as it was disrespectful and also out of fear.
Chen Fengping's gaze fell on Chen Mi, and when he saw Chen Mi looking directly at him.
His brows were involuntarily furrowed, forming a deep groove.
The furrowed brows express endless dissatisfaction and anger.
Obviously, Chen Fengping was extremely unhappy with what Chen Mi said.
It means that the person is about to get angry.
Chen Mi continued to speak
"Grandfather, in this Duke Chen's mansion, no one dares to disobey, father is the same, second uncle is the same, you have the final say, but my granddaughter is the emperor's concubine today, a secret concubine, some things have been said, why should grandfather be angry?"
Chen Fengping's eyes deepened
Chen Mi knew that his suspicious grandfather had become suspicious.
She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
If she said this, her grandfather would protect her and the unborn child once and choose to die himself.
Chen Fengping tapped his cane
"Mi'er, you are talking to Grandpa like this. Who are you listening to? Grandpa knows that what I said just now was a bit harsh. Grandpa is old. Do you still want to argue with Grandpa about right and wrong?"
Chen Fengping spoke softly, but there was no warmth in his eyes...
That was the look that Chen Mi had always been familiar with.
Her heart turned cold, but she also put away her cold attitude.
Sighed lightly
"Grandfather, the baby in my belly has been making a fuss these days, and my temper is really bad. Just now, I shouldn't have spoken like this. Please forgive me, Grandfather."
The doubts in Chen Fengping's heart gradually dissipated a little...
He is too worried.
"Forget it. You and I are a grandfather and grandson. How can we talk about forgiveness? Grandfather knows that you resent him in your heart, but you should know his difficulties. The emperor is most suspicious and doesn't like concubines to have too close contact with their mother's family. Grandfather is doing this for your own good. For many years, he has not allowed anyone in the family to enter the palace to see you. Grandfather knows that you feel wronged. Your father is not doing well, and so is your second uncle. Grandfather can only rely on you to continue the glory of the Duke's Mansion for a hundred years, so he has to be cautious in everything. You have been the most sensible since childhood."
Chen Mi's eyes deepened
"Grandfather, I know that my father is not ambitious and is addicted to fireworks, so I tried my best to get pregnant with this child. In two months, you will get what you want. I am pregnant with a boy. In the future, as long as I educate this child well, he will definitely be outstanding. He will definitely fulfill your lifelong wish and continue the glory of the Chen Guogong Mansion. Grandfather, don't worry."
Chen Fengping's gaze fell on Chen Mi's belly, his turbid eyes were complex and deep.
The murderous intent deep in his eyes disappeared in an instant, without any trace left.
Chen Mi tensed up and kept her dark eyes focused. She didn't dare to slack off for a moment.
Because she knows her grandfather well, she cannot be swayed by a few words.
If it were that easy
Grandfather is no longer him.
Chen Fengping, leaning on a cane, sat next to Chen Mi...
"Mi'er, your baby is precious to me. I don't have many years left to live. I'm very pleased that you're pregnant with a prince."
Chen Mi paused
"Grandfather, tonight, please give the baby in Mier's belly a nickname."
Chen Fengping was silent for a few seconds
"Okay, when your baby is born, your grandfather will give him a name."
A flash of disappointment flashed across Chen Mi's eyes.
Sure enough, my grandfather's refusal to name me represented his final choice.
In this case, don't blame her for being ruthless.
The grandfather and grandson sat together, pretending to be nice.
for a while
Chen Fengping called the old housekeeper in, who was holding the newly made bird's nest.
The old butler placed the bird's nest in front of Chen Mi and stepped back.
Chen Fengping took a look at the bird's nest, his eyes were gloomy, and he spoke
"This bird's nest was made by your mother herself. Knowing that you have had a poor appetite recently, your mother felt sorry for you and personally looked after it with great care. If you try it, it will be a token of your mother's good intentions."
Chen Mi's eyes fell on the bowl of bird's nest
There was a hint of mockery in his eyes
Then, she held the bird's nest, picked up the spoon, and just as she was about to eat it, she suddenly covered her handkerchief with her hands.
He held the bird's nest farther away and looked very uncomfortable.
"Grandfather, please don't blame me. My granddaughter has had a poor appetite recently. It may be because of this child. I feel sick after smelling many things. I am afraid that I cannot enjoy this bird's nest. It is a waste of my mother's kindness."
Chen Fengping's face changed slightly.
Chen Mi added, "However, these days, Hua Ling did make some sweet-scented osmanthus wine. I ate it and thought it tasted good. Whenever I couldn't eat more, I would use some. After all, this bird's nest is my mother's gift, so it shouldn't be wasted. How about this, call Hua Ling in and ask her to get some sweet-scented osmanthus wine. Together, I think we can still use some of the bird's nest."
Chen Fengping thought about it
He called Hua Ling in and asked her to get the osmanthus wine.
