Yun Chang was silent for a while: "Grandfather is a general who always wins on the battlefield. It is true that the enemy is frightened by the news, but it is also because of this that if he falls into the enemy's hands, he will be more dangerous. Grandmother must also understand this truth. Why still…”
"You want to ask me, why do you still pretend you don't know anything after you know about it? Why don't you stop him and let him take risks?"
"Yes." Yun Shang nodded: "Obviously knowing, he will definitely suffer, get hurt, and even lose his life..."
Mrs. Guogong smiled: "Because he is a general. Because he is a general and has his own responsibilities. It is his responsibility to defend his family and country, and to win battles. Every person who goes to the battlefield must have his own responsibility behind him." There are parents, wives and children who are worried about them, and their parents, wives and children don’t know that when they go to the battlefield, they are very likely to be injured or even lose their lives?”
"I know, but they have to go. In this world, there are many unavoidable things. Everyone has something to do."
"If he does that, if he wins a battle, it will save many people from the suffering of the war, and it will allow me and my children to have a peaceful and happy home."
Yun Chang lowered her eyes, yes, everyone has something to do.
Moreover, at that time, Duke Hua was doing it for the people of Xia, but Luo Qingyan was doing it for their flesh and blood.
Yun Shang turned the teacup: "At that time, grandma, you were pregnant, and you knew such a secret. You must feel uncomfortable in your heart, right?"
"Naturally, it's uncomfortable. Although I know in my heart that he concealed this matter from me, it's also for me not to worry and for my own good, but I always can't get over that hurdle in my heart. In fact, when I think about it later, compared to him knowing that he will be injured but still To do that, what I care more about is that he concealed me, concealed me, but didn't hide it well, and let me find out."
"If he had talked to me openly from the beginning, or if he had concealed me from the beginning to the end, maybe I wouldn't feel so worried, angry or wronged."
Yun Chang took a sip of tea and nodded secretly.
That's right, if Luo Qingyan told her frankly at the beginning that something happened to Chengye and he had to go to Ningguo to save Chengye, maybe she wouldn't have too many thoughts other than worrying about Chengye.
Or maybe his methods were more clever, so she couldn't find out at all, maybe he didn't know that Chengye had an accident at all, and she wouldn't be too sad if she knew it afterwards.
As Mrs. Guo said, in fact, apart from worry, she was more angry and wronged.
Very wronged.
Mrs. Guogong smiled: "Before husband and wife, especially between husband and wife who are getting closer, such white lies are unavoidable. As I said before, if we encounter such a thing, we must openly and publicly say Be clear, or completely conceal it."
"You can do the same when you encounter this kind of thing in the future. If His Majesty has concealed something from you, you can also do what I did, keep silent when the matter happened, and have a good talk with him after the matter is settled. talk."
"Yeah." Yun Shang laughed: "It's still my grandmother who is alive."
"What is it to live clearly?" Mrs. Guo's eyes were full of indifference: "It's just that I have lived for so many years and experienced a lot of things. After seeing a lot, I will understand."
Yun Chang turned her head and looked at the play sung on the stage downstairs.
The play is already halfway through, and Yun Chang didn't pay attention to the beginning before, but now it's halfway through, and she can't understand what it's talking about.
Two people walked in from outside the theater, Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth and laughed: "Yan'er is here."
Mrs. Guo raised her eyes when she heard the words, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Well, Yan'er's mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and her body is getting heavier and heavier. Her pregnancy is a bit hard, and her stomach is getting bigger and bigger. The little one in Li was very noisy, and Yan'er was too lively, so I took him with me."
"Earlier when he heard that I wanted to go to the theater with you, he insisted on making a fuss about coming with you, but he saw some jugglers in the street on the way, and he was attracted away."
Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth and laughed: "Little boy, it's like this."
The Duke's wife shook her head with a smile: "Yan'er has a temper, and he is a little too evasive."
While the two were talking, there was a burst of cheerful footsteps outside, and then Yan'er's voice sounded outside the door: "Empress, grandma, I'm coming!"
Yun Chang laughed and asked the palace man to open the door for him.
As soon as the door opened, Yan'er rushed in quickly: "Empress, grandma! Look, I bought something interesting."
As he spoke, he handed the things in his hands to Yunshang and Mrs. Guogong as if offering treasures.
Yun Chang took a closer look, and what he was holding in his hand was a round wooden platform, on which stood a wooden sculpture in the shape of a dancing child.
Mrs. Guo frowned: "Isn't this just an ordinary wood carving? You have several in your room, what's so interesting about it?"
"It's different." Yan'er said quickly, "This wood carving is different from the ones I bought before."
As he said that, he turned a wooden gear next to the round platform. Yunshang heard the creaking sound of the wood carving when Yan'er was turning it. Looking at the gear again, he understood: "There is something in it." gear?"
"Yeah." Yan'er twisted a few times, put the wood carving on the table, the wood carving began to turn, and the little figure on the wooden table also started to move, as if dancing.
"This little wooden figure, it can dance."
Yunshang laughed: "The meshing of the gears makes things move. It is also occasionally used in the fortifications of the Ministry of Industry, but it is a new way to use this thing on such a gadget, but It's kind of interesting."
"Really?" Yan'er couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard Yun Shang's praise: "I just said, this thing is very fun."
As Yan'er said, he took another one from the maidservant's hand, and put it in front of Yunshang with a smile: "This little wooden figure is even more beautiful. I bought it specially for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The smile on the corner of Yunshang's mouth froze for a moment, before she smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is not in the palace now, I will take him back first, and when he returns to the palace, how about handing it over to him? Or, you can keep it together first, When His Royal Highness comes back, you still have to enter the palace to play with him, and then you will give it to him?"
Mrs. Duke's eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, but Yan'er didn't understand the interests involved, so she just nodded: "Okay."
After thinking about it, he said again: "The empress should take it back, I'm afraid I'll lose it..."
