Cao Yuqing saw that the maid and the wet nurse took good care of the four children, and some words were not suitable for the children to hear, so she walked slowly down the corridor with Qin Yining to talk.
"If you follow me, if you and the prince had the same heart in the early years, you wouldn't have suffered so many crimes in these years. It's a pity that you are all people who care about morality, and you are reluctant to let the common people suffer."
Qin Yining smiled wryly and lowered his eyes, scratching his nails on the porch beside his hand, and said helplessly: "There is no way to do this, maybe it is the character of a person that determines the fate. I sometimes think, if I had known earlier, there would be today's event. The situation may have persuaded the prince long ago. We did not choose to do this at the most favorable time. "
"Sometimes I also tell your father that," Cao Yuqing took Qin Yining's shoulders, "your father said that everything must first be accumulated before it can achieve qualitative change. You and the prince are both people who care about the people and will It is also normal to take into account the feelings of the people, and this also has certain benefits.”
Qin Yining looked at Cao Yuqing suspiciously.
Putting the broken hair on Qin Yining's temples behind her ears, Cao Yuqing said gently: "When things develop to the stage where you can't bear it, you must have stood on the side of morality and morality. No matter how things develop in the future, Whether you have a strong heart or not, things will be easier to handle, at least you will have less obstacles to make a choice."
Qin Yining nodded, "This is the only thing that can be comforted now. But, will we really be allowed to make choices in the future?"
Cao Yuqing looked at Qin Yining strangely, "What other thoughts do you have?"
Qin Yining looked back at the house.
Cao Yuqing immediately understood what she meant, took her arm and said, "Let's go shopping in the village."
"Okay." The two left the inner house, Qin Yining waved his hand to signal that the people beside him did not need to follow, and went all the way to find a shady path to a more open place.
Cao Yuqing leaned against a tall catalpa tree, looked around at random, and then raised her head to look at the tassels that drooped from the broad leaves, "What do you want to say to me, Sister Yi?"
Qin Yining knew that he could speak with confidence, and said, "Aunt Cao, I have never mentioned this to anyone. I can only tell you."
Being treated by Qin Yining as someone to talk to, Cao Yuqing smiled happily and nodded: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense with others. You can tell me what troubles you have, and I can help you solve it. "
Qin Yining smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Cao, in fact, my father is right. Today, the prince has a high voice among the people, and there are many positive comments. In the future, he will have a battle with Li Qitian. Judging from the current financial and military strength in Li Qitian's hands, The king's winning rate is very high."
"Yeah." Cao Yuqing smiled, "your father often said that the two of you are well thought out and everything has been planned. There won't be too many obstacles in the future."
Although the words are hidden, Qin Yining understands that when Cao Yuqing said there are not too many obstacles, of course, he is referring to getting to that position.
"Actually, up to now, what I think about most is a normal life, when the family gets together, and it's good to be able to grow old in peace."
Cao Yuqing was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "Sister Yi, you seem to be right about that position..."
Qin Yining lowered his head and sighed with pursed red lips: "That position is good, but a person who would have become a three-pointer would also be a seven-pointer in that position. I can't say that a person will never change, But once you're in that position, change is catalyzed. I'm really scared."
Cao Yuqing understood.
The relationship between Qin Yining and Pang Xiao is too good. There are too many trials and tribulations together. Qin Yining has given a lot in this relationship, and the grievances and hardships that he has endured because he is married into Pang Xiao's life are unimaginable for ordinary people.
What Pang Xiao can give Qin Yining, there will be prosperity and wealth, but a stable life is something that he will never get in his life. The only thing that can make a woman like Qin Yining care is that Pang Xiao is different from the men of the world. He is single-minded towards Qin Yining and has never After other thoughts, neither concubines nor concubines.
But once you get to that position, things will be hard to say in the future. Once a man wakes up and takes control of the world, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not expect to be drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women. And how many years can a woman's best years be
Qin Yining is beautiful, but Hongyan will eventually grow old. There will always be young, flower-like women appearing to enrich the emperor's harem.
What Qin Yining is afraid of is not the turbulent life, but the easy change of people's hearts.
That would make her wonder if her efforts were worth it.
Cao Yuqing hugged Qin Yining's shoulders with pity, and sighed helplessly: "Sister Yi, your worry aunt understands. But some things are already established and cannot be changed. Just like me, I am only a concubine. ."
"I know, Aunt Cao, I understand all these principles. Now the world is like this, let alone being an emperor, even if he doesn't like it, the balance of interests between courtiers will make many women appear by his side. These truths I understand. I'm just… a little disappointed."
"Don't think too much, no matter what, no one can take your place. You are the mother of four children after all."
"I understand, I understand." Qin Yining leaned against the catalpa tree trunk behind him and sighed softly, "I just panic in my heart."
"Your relationship with the prince is so good, if something really happened, it would be a pity." Cao Yuqing pondered for a moment, her eyes lit up, "Actually, with the current situation, as long as you shake your head, you can continue to live. Plain days. Who ruled that when you conquer the world, you must be in the world?"
Qin Yining shook his head and said, "It's hard to ride a tiger now."
Cao Yuqing was silent for a while.
If it weren't for the difficulty of riding a tiger, they would not have to avoid Pang Xiao's men when they said these words.
Which of these people who follow Pang Xiao is not for their own future? Even if Pang Xiao doesn't want to take that position in the future, these people will try their best to push people up. Because only when Pang Xiao became an emperor could they have the power to follow the dragon.
A person with so many expectations and futures on his back, how can he say no if he wants to? Don't say anything else, just say that if you can't get it, you will have the supreme power. No matter who takes that position, he shouldn't let a person with such high prestige in the army be spared, right
They all understood that the existence of the second Li Qitian could no longer be tolerated.
Cao Yuqing took Qin Yining's hand and shook it: "Sister Yi, listen to what Auntie said."
"Aunt Cao, say it." Qin Yining looked up at Cao Yuqing.
Cao Yuqing said: "In this world, there is no such thing as perfect and perfect, and there will always be something unsatisfactory here or there. Just like me, I came from a famous family, but I became a spy, and when I become a spy, I have to be loyal to the emperor. I was arranged in an unsatisfactory marriage, married to someone I didn't like, and since then I was wasting every step of the way, and I have spent most of my life living for others."
"But Sister Yi, the objective reality exists, and sometimes we cannot change it by relying on human resources. Since we can't change it, we must learn to adapt to it, accept it, and accept it with a smile, so that we can control it. "
Qin Yining pursed her lips and nodded.
In these matters, Cao Yuqing is much more transparent than her biological mother. She did not dare to tell Sun's many truths, because she would not be able to solve it, and many people would be anxious. However, Cao Yuqing is a person of the same kind as her father, who can give her advice and solve her problems.
She understands all these things. But someone can talk to her honestly and in detail, and sincerely think about her, this feeling really makes her heart feel fulfilled.
"I understand." Qin Yining hugged Cao Yuqing, "Thank you, Aunt Cao."
"Silly girl, thank you or something?" Cao Yuqing also hugged Qin Yining back, "You are a sensible person, you may not understand these truths, but you are just sad. But don't be pessimistic. Things haven't happened yet, everything will be fine. When there is a turning point, what we need to do now is how to get out of the city to meet the prince and the others, and the rest are secondary. Even if we have to worry about these, we have to wait until we really understand everything. "
"It's me who is unfounded." Qin Yining smiled.
Cao Yuqing smiled, "It's because I care that I'm worried." Holding Qin Yining's hand, she said, "Let's go back. We can't walk away for too long."
Qin Yining nodded, chatted with Cao Yuqing and walked towards the main room with a smile.
Qin Yining took the children to play in the farmhouse for two days. Originally, they said they were going to leave the city, but with Qin Huaiyuan's prior arrangement and Cao Yuqing's assistance, the group went out of the city in four batches. After the disguise, everything went smoothly. .
After the reunion in the city, everyone did not dare to delay along the way, and went directly to the direction of Pang Xiao's march.
"My lord! The scouts have detected the whereabouts of the princess and her party." Hu Zi strode into the camp and told Pang Xiao, who was discussing countermeasures with Ji Zeyu and Qin Huaiyuan, with a beaming look on his face, as if it was a new year.
Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help laughing, "It seems that they went well all the way."
Ji Zeyu teased, "Zhi Xi was still worried before, so I said that Uncle Qin's plan will not be a problem." During these days, Qin Huaiyuan's personality charm has infected the people around Pang Xiao, Ji Zeyu's life "Uncle Qin" was called sincerely.
Pang Xiao said sternly: "I'm concerned about it, but I'm confused. Father-in-law, I'll go and greet you."
Qin Huaiyuan joked, "If I say no, you can't listen to me, can you?"
Pang Xiao had already got up and walked out. Hearing this, he turned his head and said, "Do you want to go with my father-in-law?"
Qin Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, got up and went outside and said, "You child, have you been with Sister Yi for a long time, how old are you, and you still act like this?"
Qin Huaiyuan sincerely regarded Pang Xiao as his own child, with an intimate and gentle tone, Pang Xiao also laughed, pulled Ji Zeyu and Mu Jinghu, and surrounded Qin Huaiyuan: "Let's go, let's go together!"
