After washing up, he stood up, walked to the door and came back: "Girl, it's nothing serious. I'll be back early tomorrow morning."
She nodded gently and sent him out.
"Girl, ask your son to sleep with you tonight."
"Um."
Hua Rong sent him to the shore and watched him board the ship. These days, she also developed a habit, just like Peng Ju, leaving early and returning late to pick up King Qin. After enjoying his protection and care, I don't know how to repay him, so I just try my best and use my own way to make him happy.
Happiness, both myself and him, how much we hope to obtain happiness.
It wasn't until the boat became a small black dot in the distance that she slowly turned around and walked back.
The sea breeze was light, the waves were bursting, and groups of fat seabirds flew by with their wings fluttering. I don’t know if they have grown too fat. Some seabirds fell into the water, walking around with their red flippers in the water, and their white wings. From time to time, it trembles in the sunshine and looks for fish and shrimps leisurely.
The little tiger was chasing a red-billed gull with his head and bare feet. He tiptoed, thinking that the red-billed gull was unaware. However, as soon as he got closer and stretched out his hand, the red-billed gull flew away with a whoosh. This was repeated several times. This time, he finally got tired and kept shouting: "Mom, Mom, you help me catch the birds, you help me..."
Hua Rong was lying on the beach, also barefoot, and did not respond to him. Seeing that her mother was not responding, the little tiger ran over and held her mother's hand: "Mom, mom, I want that bird..."
Hua Rong had a nightmare all night long, and his whole body felt like it was falling apart. Hua Rong closed his eyes tiredly, and could not open them for a long time. He just let his son shake, and his voice was very weak: "Hutou, mommy has no strength, lie down for a while... Wait for me to lie down for a while and then I will catch you." ,OK?"
"Mom is not good, if daddy will help me catch it, mom is not good...Mom, lazy pig..." This beach is full of pure white sand. When the little tiger saw his mother not moving, he giggled and grabbed the sand and threw it at his mother. The sand was sprinkled on her hair and body. Hua Rong remained motionless, and the sand piled higher and higher, almost burying her.
A person watched this scene from a distance. After watching it for a long time, he slowly came over.
The little tiger head clapped his hands excitedly and shouted: "Grandpa... Grandpa..."
Uncle Yang greeted him and hugged him: "Little guy, let's see what good things grandpa brought you?"
The little tiger looked at it and saw that it turned out to be two bunches of candied haws. He was so happy that he raised the candied haws to hold his mother's hand: "Mom, you eat, you eat..."
Hua Rong slowly sat up, shook the sand off his head, and looked at Uncle Yang in surprise. Realizing that he had something to say, he patted his son's head: "Hutou, you go play in front and eat candied haws. Mom brought back many shells."
"Okay." The little tiger head held up the candied haws and ran away.
It wasn't until the little Hutou ran far away that Uncle Yang withdrew his gaze and looked at Hua Rong: "Mrs. Yue, this kid Hutou is getting smarter and smarter. Yue Pengju will be happy if he has a spirit in the sky..."
The sound of "Mrs. Yue" shocked Hua Rong, and after a while he murmured: "Are you looking for King Qin? He went out this morning." Seeing that her eyes were a little flustered and confused, Sanshu Yang sighed to himself and said slowly : "Mrs. Yue, I'm not looking for the king today. I'm looking for you specifically."
"oh."
Uncle Yang took out something from his arms and handed it over: "Mrs. Yue, take a look."
Hua Rong took it blankly, and it was a portrait. She opened it and saw that it was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, a gorgeous figure, and a graceful figure.
"This is Li Tinglan, Yelu Dayong's daughter, and the king's engaged fiancée..."
Hua Rong looked at the scroll blankly, unable to react for a moment. She had already forgotten this matter, and no one reminded her in front of her. Now she remembered: King Qin, he has already been engaged!
"Yelü Dayong is the king's most important ally. When you were injured, it was only with his elixir that you were cured."
"oh."
"Now that the world is in chaos, and the confrontation between Song and Jin has drained the treasury, it is a good time for heroes to compete. Throughout the ages, marriage has been the best way to establish the strongest alliance. Yelu Dayong has shown his integrity and has Their daughter was sent to Changlin Island. February next year will be their wedding date, and the island is going all out to arrange the wedding... "
Hua Rong stared at Li Tinglan's portrait and remained silent.
"Mrs. Yue, the king must accept this marriage. A man's words are hard to follow. Otherwise, how can he gain a foothold in the world in the future? Besides, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines. I have seen Li Tinglan's words and deeds these days, and they are considered generous. The person you saved will definitely not interfere with you and the King in the future, nor will it affect your status in the King's mind... I hope you can understand the King's situation and understand his difficulties... "
She slowly understood that King Qin was going to marry a wife, a real wife.
She raised her head, and Uncle Yang saw her bloodshot eyes and haggard face. He was about to continue speaking when he heard her ask in a low voice: "King Qin, is he willing to marry Miss Li?"
Uncle Yang was startled, and his tone became very stern: "This issue is not yours to consider!"
Hua Rong did not answer.
"When a man is alive, he will either be famous for eternity or be infamy for eternity. Now that opportunities are coming to your door, if you fail to seize them because of small losses, then you are a huge fool. Marriage is very important to men. Our ancestor Huang Di also wanted to follow suit. The marriage of Luo Zu, the daughter of the King of Shu, was the only way to defeat Chi You in the end; Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty also relied on marriage to conquer the siege of the North. During the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng's marriage was famous all over the world. Marriage was an important means and was of great benefit to the king. It's no harm. He just has one more wife, and the gain may be unlimited. What does this have to do with whether he is willing or not?" Sanshu Yang slowed down his voice slightly and followed the temptation, "Mrs. Yue is knowledgeable about books and etiquette. She should know Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. Queen Yin Lihua. Yin Lihua was smart and generous in her early years. For the sake of her husband's career, she was willing to give up the position of the main wife to the Guo family's daughter, so that the Guo family's father and brother could swear loyalty to the death and win the world for Emperor Guangwu. After Emperor Guangwu's throne was stabilized, Naturally, she has endured all the hardships, and her mother-in-law will be honored all over the world and will be remembered for generations to come..."
Hua Rong's tone was very calm: "I'm not Yin Lihua!"
Uncle Yang was startled and slightly embarrassed. Could it be that Mrs. Yue was asked to become King Qin's concubine instead? What is this? He hurriedly said: "Mrs. Yue, you have misunderstood. It does not mean that you have no name or status. It is okay to have both. I will persuade Li Tinglan to agree..."
Hua Rong shook his head to stop him from continuing, feeling that it was very ridiculous.
Uncle Yang was a little sad: "Mrs. Yue, Yue Pengju died tragically at the hands of Zhao Deji and Qin Hui. Such a faint king is because there is no strong countervailing force to overthrow him. Don't you want to avenge your husband? To avenge Pengju, the only way to do it is for the king to have strong soldiers and horses. Only then can we do it…”
She silently put down Li Tinglan's scroll and handed it to Uncle Yang. Sanshu Yang took the scroll and said, "You should be very clear about the king's character. Even if he gets married, he will never fail you. Madam Yue, can't you be considerate of the king? Really? To tell you the truth, I have spent half of my life on the king, guarding the island for him, and helping him develop and grow. I have no children, no selfish motives, and what is it for? So that one day, he can truly become famous throughout the ages. In this way, I We can die with peace of mind. Otherwise, what’s the point of following the king?”
Hua Rong had completely heard the warning in his words. With his subordinates so eagerly anticipating and supporting him, and with such investment of manpower and material resources, if King Qin insists on going his own way and ignores the overall situation, he is afraid that the result will be betrayal and alienation.
Everyone betrays their relatives and leaves!
The roots of troubles!
She was silent for a long time.
Uncle Yang didn't say anything, just stared at her closely.
"Mrs. Yue..."
She spoke slowly and in a very calm voice: "Third uncle, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will take my son away from here and will never hinder King Qin's great cause..."
Sanshu Yang said hurriedly: "I don't want you to leave... How should I put it? I just need you to accept Li Tinglan. Yes, we do need to arrange a grand wedding, but this does not mean that you have no status. Even if she temporarily She has a higher status than you, but if the king wants to pamper you, how can she care? Besides, your mother and son are on Luoxia Island, and she is on Changlin Island. It will not affect you at all... "
Her mind was as chaotic as a mess, as if she had just escaped a way out and fell into a dead end. Fate, this is fate. Her expression was still very calm: "Third uncle, you don't have to worry. In fact, the king and I are not It doesn't matter. I'm just grateful to him for saving our mother and son, and for taking care of us. I have other places to go, and I won't stay here for a long time..." She hesitated a little, "But, there is one thing I want to ask you..."
"What's up?"
"Please allow me to leave after New Year's Eve, okay? After New Year's Eve, I will take my son and leave immediately..."
Uncle Yang nodded hastily: "Okay, okay, you can leave after New Year's Eve. But you don't need to leave in a hurry... I really have no intention of letting you leave. Besides, how can the little tiger head leave? Qin Hui is murderous and cruel, how can he Are you willing to let Yue Pengju's son go? If he learns about the whereabouts of your mother and son, the consequences will be disastrous. Madam Yue, the little tiger head is staying on the island. I also like him very much... "
To cut the grass, you must get rid of the roots. Qin Hui and Zhao Deji will not let go of Peng Ju's son. However, as a single woman, they will not have to bother. Only when the son grows up can he take revenge. What can a widow do?
Seeing Hua Rong's troubled face, he added: "Pengju has such a single seedling, how can Qin Hui let it go? Madam Yue, I hope you think twice. If the child stays on the island, I will treat him as my direct grandson. From now on, , he will follow me, and you can come to visit him someday... "
Hua Rong looked up at the bloody setting sun in the west and nodded gratefully: "In that case, little Hutou would like to thank Third Uncle for taking the trouble."
Uncle Yang avoids her eyes and Hua Rong leaves, which is indeed the best result. As long as she is here, King Qin will never marry Li Tinglan. For a long time, when she was away, King Qin had completely given up. With a real plan, otherwise, how could he agree to the engagement? If you can give up once, why can't you give up a second time? When people are around, we always miss them; however, time can dilute everything. If she is gone, if she is gone, all obstacles will naturally be eliminated.
He coughed and said, "Mrs. Yue, I also have a request..."
"Third uncle, I just say it doesn't matter."
"Please don't tell your Majesty what we talked about today."
Hua Rong nodded, how could he tell King Qin? Wouldn't that mean they have a close relationship like father and son? Do you want the King of Qin to truly rebel against his relatives? At least one thing she was able to judge and affirm was that everything Sanshu Yang did was for the good of King Qin. Just like a father, he hopes that his son will reach the top and dominate the world.
What's wrong with this
