"Speaking of Yan Baoru, we have to mention Tong Mo." Niu Youdao suddenly said something. After thinking about it for a while, he slowly said: "Get ready and go to Yanjing!"
"Going to Yanjing?" Guan Fangyi looked serious, "I'm afraid our manpower is not enough to guarantee your safety in Yanjing."
Niu Youdao snorted with a half-smile, "There is no need to mobilize troops. I have never made a public appearance in Yanjing in so many years. Let's give it a try this time."
"Appearing in public?" Guan Fangyi was shocked and immediately advised him to think again.
…
An distinguished guest came to Nanzhou Fucheng, the Queen Mother of Zhao State, Shang Youlan, came to see her daughter Hai Ruyue.
Naturally, the reason for looking for Hai Ruyue at this time was for the truce and peace talks between Yan and Zhao.
Although Shang Jianxiong said it clearly, she also knew that it would be difficult for Shang Chaozong to make the decision in this matter. The monks behind the various forces were already jealous, and those monks were the key to deciding whether to fight or make peace.
Even if Shang Chaozong can help, it is definitely useless to go to Shang Chaozong rashly. It is not even useful to find a nephew who is closer to him. How can he hope to have a closer relationship with Shang Chaozong
So I came to find my daughter. After all, she was my biological daughter. It might be useful to ask for her.
After all, his daughter controls the Jinzhou troops and is fighting jointly with the Shang Chaozong. The certain military power she holds must have some influence on the Shang Chaozong. As long as she can persuade her daughter to accompany her to find the Shang Chaozong, things will be more certain. .
The reason why Hai Ruyue is in Nanzhou is because the war is not over yet.
Hai Ruyue temporarily stayed in Nanzhou to remotely handle things in Jinzhou. As for the frontline war, she had never been on the battlefield and did not know how to fight. Due to the situation, she had given full power to the Jinzhou people to the command of Shang Chaozong.
No matter what happened in the two countries of Yan and Zhao, Shang Youlan's seniority was there. When he learned that Shang Youlan was coming, not only Hai Ruyue came out to greet her, but also the pregnant princess Feng Ruonan and the princess Shang Shuqing came out to greet her. Call me grandma.
Although she had heard some things about the tall and tall Feng Ruonan, Shang Youlan was still a little surprised after seeing Feng Ruonan's appearance with her own eyes.
She is also a well-informed person. What kind of princess has she not seen? This is the first time she has seen a princess who looks like this.
I also secretly sighed, as expected, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. The Shang Chaozong actually married such a beautiful woman in order to achieve high status. I guess even a laid-back royal family from the merchants would be better-looking than this one, right
As for Shang Shuqing, she was also embarrassed. Who didn't know that the merchant's bloodline was noble, and it was unique for a merchant's daughter to be so ugly, and so terrible.
She didn't know what kind of luck Shang Chaozong had. None of her close relatives were good-looking. His wife was as tall as a man, and his sister was frighteningly ugly. What kind of luck was this
While thinking about it in his mind, he glanced at his daughter again. If fate hadn't played a trick on her, it would have almost become a close relationship. This Shang Shuqing might have been her granddaughter. If she was born to her own daughter, this Shang Shuqing It shouldn't be so ugly.
When Hai Ruyue was sent to Yanjing as a hostage, she knew about the affair between her cousins. Shang Jianbo should be Hai Ruyue's first man.
I don't know if my daughter is destined to have a fate with her cousin Shang Jianbo. She was protected by Shang Jianbo in Yanjing, and now she is protected by Shang Jianbo's son.
The past has brought us to the present. During this time, there have been so many mist and changes, as well as so much laughter, blood and tears, which makes people deeply moved.
However, she still grabbed Shang Shuqing's hand and clapped it in her hand, and said with a smile: "Qing'er, the last time I saw you was probably twenty years ago when I went home to visit relatives. Your father took you and your brother with him. Come see me, you were still young at that time, maybe you don’t remember me now, right?”
Shang Shuqing said politely, "My aunt's voice, appearance, and smile left a deep impression on her. I have never forgotten her, and she still has an impression to this day."
Outside the city is not the place to talk, so Shang Youlan was invited to enter the city.
Ben arranged a guesthouse for Shang Youlan to stay, but Shang Youlan said no and wanted to stay with his daughter.
Feng Ruonan just showed his loyalty to the landlord and did not force it. Lan Ruoting, who acted as a counselor, reminded him well and there would be no mistakes.
Although Shang Shuqing is the younger sister of Shang Chaozong, to some extent, her status is still inferior to that of Feng Ruonan. Feng Ruonan is the princess and the hostess of this place. Without Shang Chaozong, it is Feng Ruonan who plays the role of landowner. Ruonan.
There was no way, if her parents were still alive, if they were in her natal family, and in Prince Ning's Mansion back then, Feng Ruonan's status in Prince Ning's Mansion would definitely not be as good as her as the princess.
If the Shang Dynasty Zong is not married, the younger sister who depends on him can also be regarded as the mistress here.
But now that the Shang Chaozong has married and established his own business, the married Feng Ruonan has naturally become the mistress of the palace. Even Meng Shanming and Lan Ruoting unknowingly support this. The princess Shang Shuqing I can only step aside unconsciously, and the position of hostess can only be given to Feng Ruonan...
"Where is my little grandson?"
As soon as they arrived at Hai Ruyue's house, Shang Youlan clamored to see her grandson.
Hai Ruyue's smile was a bit far-fetched. In fact, she didn't want the other party to see her son. However, the other party was her mother, so it was reasonable and reasonable to make such a request. She couldn't disobey it, so she had to ask someone to bring him.
Seeing the fat white baby who could already waddle, Shang Youlan smiled happily. Regardless of her dignity as the Queen Mother, she squatted on the ground and teased her little grandson. She hugged and kissed her grandson again and again, as if she liked it very much.
Most elderly people like children. As they get older and have more experience, they know that people's hearts are complicated, and children are simple and simple, which can make the elderly really let go of their psychological defenses.
Then he turned around and waved, and asked the eunuch to bring a box, open it, and personally took out an ingenious and exquisite golden lock of longevity in the box, and was about to hang it around the neck of his grandson.
Hai Ruyue opened her eyes and screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "No!"
The screams startled everyone, and the monks and guards around them jumped out one after another. The mage guards around Shang Youlan were also alert to the surroundings.
Hai Ruyue had already pushed her mother's hand away, hugged her son and moved away, asking someone to take her son away quickly.
Shang Youlan stood up slowly and was stunned, still holding the golden lock in her hand, "Why did you refuse the little kindness your mother gave her grandson?"
Hai Ruyue looked slightly pained, shook her head and said: "Mother, my daughter is scared. The gifts you sent last time almost killed her and your grandson. My daughter is really scared. The gifts you gave me are hard to guard against. I really don’t dare to take it easy anymore…” Before he finished speaking, he shook his head again.
Everyone knows the meaning. Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of snake bites for ten years!
Shang Youlan's face turned cold, "Don't you even believe your mother?"
Hai Ruyue said helplessly: "Because I trust you, I couldn't help but touch the things you sent. They are all memories of your daughter's childhood that you collected and stored. How could you bear to treat your daughter when she was a child?" Poisoned memory?"
These words made Shang Youlan look miserable, with a look of pain in her eyes, "Yue'er, you misunderstood, it wasn't my mother who did it, it was you... who was the emperor. My mother didn't know it at the time, and she only found out about it afterwards. I scolded the emperor severely!"
I wanted to say it was your brother, but I changed it to the word 'emperor'.
Hai Ruyue shook her head: "It doesn't matter who did it anymore. The memories of my daughter's childhood that you sent me have become my daughter's nightmare. They have been burned by my daughter. I really don't dare to keep them anymore. It's all over." ”
Shang Youlan's heart ached when she said this. She took back the golden lock, slowly put it back into the box, and then left with a wave of her hand.
Hai Ruyue also waved her hand and the guard who stared at him with eager eyes retreated.
The mother and daughter were so careful in their quarrel that the onlookers were in awe.
There were not many people around. Shang Youlan stepped forward and grabbed Hai Ruyue's hand, "Yue'er, mother knows it's not easy for you. I have wronged you all these years."
In an instant, all kinds of past events came to mind. I don’t know how many times I was wandering on the edge of life and death. I don’t know how many times I had to take off my clothes to survive in the face of various men. In exchange for countless pokes in the spine, I didn’t even care about my eldest son. Not being able to do it, I don't know how much bitterness, finally brought tears to her eyes today, Hai Ruyue choked and shook her head and said: "It's okay, I'm used to it."
"For so many years, you haven't come back to Beijing to see your mother. My mother doesn't blame you. She has been here before. She understands. She knows your difficulties. She understands them all, but there is nothing you can do!" Shang Youlan patted the back of her daughter's hand, shedding tears. Eyes full.
"Wow..." Hai Ruyue finally couldn't hold it any longer, hugged her mother, and cried loudly in her arms.
Shang Youlan patted her daughter's back, tears streaming down her face, and she looked up to the sky in tears.
After both mother and daughter stabilized their emotions and wiped away their tears, Hai Ruyue has finally become the Hai Ruyue she is today. She is no longer the young girl who looked forward to the future under her mother's knees. Some things can only make her She was moved for a moment, but it didn't make her emotional.
With a heart as strong as steel after all the storms, Shang Youlan mentioned the matter of Yan and Zhao, but Hai Ruyue looked around at him, but refused to answer the question.
In the end, Shang Youlan became anxious and said, "Yue'er, are you willing to force your mother to death?"
Hai Ruyue: "Mom, I really can't make the decision on this matter, it's useless."
Shang Youlan: "If you don't try your best, how do you know it's useless? I promise you here that as long as it succeeds, not only Jinzhou, but also I will make the emperor agree to divide the territory of the two states from Zhao State to you. Ok?"
Hai Ruyue: "Mom, don't you think it's too late to talk about this now?"
Shang Youlan said sadly: "That's your brother. You are all the flesh that fell from your mother's body. Why do you brothers and sisters have to go to the point of killing each other?"
Hai Ruyue said calmly: "Mom, when my brother wanted to kill me, could you stop him or stop him? You don't say whether I can do it or not. In fact, you know better than anyone else that I let him go today. He will still kill me someday, and as long as there is a chance, he will not give me a way to survive!"
"Where is Niu Youdao? Can you introduce me to my mother? Even if she is begging you!"
"Mom, I don't want that. Jinzhou, if my daughter has the chance to go back, mother should come and live in Jinzhou. My daughter will definitely be filial to you."
The young girl back then had a heart as strong as iron after going through the storm.
