Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

The flames of war started a prairie fire, and the beacon smoke burned on the land of Sheng Dynasty for four years.

But the ashes were buried deep in the soil, and when the spring rains passed, the flowers bloomed more vividly than in previous years.

When Cao Mi was helped to get off the carriage, he saw his two young and promising children in armor, kneeling on one knee to salute her.

When Qi You started to recover the state capitals, he brought these two children with him.

Four years have passed, and now, two handsome young men who are much taller are serious generals under Qi You.

Cao Mi hurriedly stepped forward, helped Qi Rui and Qi An up, and complained with a smile, "What are you doing with these false rituals?"

"Mother, you have to adapt!" Qi An blinked her right eye at her, "In the future, when my mother becomes the queen, all kinds of three kneeling and nine kowtow rituals will be indispensable."

Cao Mi raised his hand and gestured to hit him, and Qi An laughed and ran to the other end of the carriage.

Without his obstruction, the majestic imperial city stood straight in front of Cao Mi. From the outside, this ancient city is not much different from a few years ago when the Bei'an Prince's Mansion was closed and the whole family left.

More than half a month ago, Qi You led troops to surround the imperial city.

Knowing that there is no hope of resistance, Zhu Yan simply arranged his own funeral and then committed suicide in the city.

According to the order he left, his descendants took the initiative to open the door and surrender.

At this point, the war that swept through most of the state capitals of the Sheng Dynasty finally came to an end.

When the news spread to the rear, Cao Mi came with the other two children.

On the other hand, Qi An had already taken Qi Ran and Qi Xin off the carriage.

Qi Xin is now five years old, her black and round eyes staring at the two older brothers in front of her.

She seemed to confirm for a while, and then she opened her arms and cheered: "Big brother, second brother!"

The last time the children reunited was a year ago. Qi You specially arranged for Qi Rui and Qi An to transport a batch of food and grass to the rear.

At that time, the two of them didn't stay for a few days at all, and they left with the grain cart.

Qi Xin was still young, so she was a little confused when she first saw them.

Qi Rui held her in his arms, weighed her, and then said with emotion, "Qi Xin has grown a lot."

Qi Xin happily rubbed in his arms: "Big brother is also taller."

Holding Qi Rui's face, she said again, "I look more and more like my father."

"Really?" Qi Rui smiled, blushing a little: "In the past few years, my father has also changed, and the big brother can't keep up..."

After a few simple greetings, they stopped staying.

Cao Mi returned to the carriage with his two children, while Qi Rui and Qi An led the way on horseback.

During the time they spent on the road, Qi You's people had already cleaned up the palace.

So as soon as Cao Mi entered the palace, he was invited into the Queen's main hall.

She stroked the red-painted pillars in the hall, feeling a little unreal for a moment.

Dong Li had already asked the maids to pack up, turned around and asked her to wash down.

So Cao Mi temporarily put aside all his thoughts and took Xiao Qixin down to bathe and change clothes.

She originally thought that she would be able to see the husband she was thinking of during dinner, but in fact, when dusk fell, the servants brought the exquisite dishes, and only four children were left to dine with her.

The atmosphere at the dining table was not cold because of Qi You's absence.

The four children who hadn't seen each other for a long time had a lot to say. Qi Rui and Qi An sat around Cao Mi, and Kai Kai talked about their achievements in the past few years.

Cao Mi knew that the two of them needed her affirmation just when they needed her affirmation.

Between the conversations, she couldn't help but asked casually, "Where's your father?"

"Father is very busy!" Qi An replied.

He took a sip of the soup to moisten his throat, and then said in detail, "It's only been one month since I entered the capital, and there's still a lot to do."

As he said, he wrinkled his nose: "Not only my father, but even my eldest brother and I have a lot of things to deal with. After dinner, we can't stay any longer, so we have to go out for patrol."

Cao Mi then nodded half helplessly and half gratified.

She held Qi An's hand and instructed: "Your duties are important, but you should not neglect rest. You must remember to combine work and rest to have sufficient energy."

Qi Rui and Qi An nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother."

The older Qi Rui seemed to see something, and added: "Father is really busy now, so he can't come over to have dinner with his mother.

"But after a while, it will be fine. When the enthronement ceremony is over, the father officially ascends the dragon throne, and the father and mother can be as usual."

Cao Mi knew that what he said was comforting himself. Although he retorted in his heart, "How can it be that easy?", he still put on a smile on his face and nodded in response, "Well, okay."

Soon, after dinner, Qi Rui and Qi An left together.

Qi Ran and Qi Xin accompany her to talk for a while, and they are also taken down by the maids.

After Cao Mi washed his face, he lay down by himself on the phoenix bed, which was precious enough but unfamiliar.

I don't know why, but on the road for half a month, she was occasionally sleepy and fell asleep on the bumpy carriage.

But now that she has clearly entered the capital and slept in a stable new mattress, she has no sleepiness at all.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Cao Mi, who was staring blankly at the bed tent, suddenly heard some noises from outside.

She lifted the tent and looked, but saw Qi You in casual clothes walking gently towards the bed.

Seeing each other for two days, they were all stunned.

"Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" In the end, it was Qi You who reacted first and asked first.

Cao Mi suddenly felt aggrieved.

It was only at this time that she realized that she was angry in her heart - although she knew that some thoughts were completely unreasonable, she was still depressed that Qi You did not come to see her for the first time.

"If I fall asleep, how can I catch you who haunt you in the middle of the night?" Cao Mi said deliberately.

Qi You took a few steps to the edge of the bed and sat on the edge.

He held Cao Mi's hand and whispered, "This king didn't do it on purpose.

"It's true that I was so busy that I was ready to rest at this time. I didn't want to come back to disturb you, but I couldn't help it, so I came back quietly.

"I wanted to take a few glances and leave, but I didn't expect it to wake you up."

It was more than two years ago that the last time the two of them exchanged their heads and whispered like this.

At the same time that Cao Mi's nose was sour, his frightened heart inexplicably calmed down.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Qi You asked, "What? What are you thinking about?"

Cao Mi took a few deep breaths and reluctantly said in a weeping voice, "I'm thinking...the lord is still not the lord."

Over the years, the two had met several times in a hurry, and Cao Mi could only hear about him from other people's mouths.

This made her feel a little strange to the current Qi You.

Four years later, she wondered if her sweetheart had changed that she didn't know.

Qi You smiled and asked, "But what rumors did you hear?"

Without waiting for Cao Mi's response, he explained directly: "Those families did offer their daughters to me, but they were all rejected by me. Don't you understand these things?"

When he was attacking some forces before, he encountered many such situations.

After all, at the end of the war, anyone with a discerning eye can see the situation in the world. Not only Qi You, but even Qi Rui and Qi An, who fought the world with him, were coveted by those who were interested.

"Why am I worried about this?!" Cao Mi gritted his teeth.

She angrily wiped her tears: "Your army crossed the border, and after that, I took care of the things of rectifying people's livelihood and restoring construction.

"Marrying a bride can easily exchange for a few cities, but what you have to lose is all the support from the rear!"

As she said that, she pulled out a smug smile: "The two, which is more important, I think the wise King Bei'an can still tell the difference."

It was obviously a little threatening, but it made Qi You laugh successfully.

He laughed so cheerfully that he relaxed all the strength and even put a slight pressure on Cao Mi's shoulder.

After laughing, he said beside Cao Mi's ears, "That's why I never stop, and it took only three or four years to gain the world."

Cao Mi could only feel his shallow breath passing by the side of his neck, and his deep voice told his heart-shaking love words: "Because I always knew that you were right behind me.

"So I don't have to look back and I don't have to be afraid to move forward."

Cao Mi's heart softened suddenly.

Qi You didn't seem to answer her first question, but she already got the answer in her heart.

The problem has been resolved, the atmosphere that was slightly tense has disappeared, and there is a lot of ambiguity between the bed tents.

Qi You's lips brushed against her chin and muttered, "It's too late, are you tired?"

Cao Mi took a deep breath, turned over for the first time, and took the initiative to push him down.

She said, "Tomorrow, I can sleep all day because of my illness! Your Highness... are you tired?"

Qi You's eyes lit up and smiled, "I'm not tired."

After that, the princess rested for more than five days due to the fatigue of the boat and car.

On the sixth day, when Qi You finally resolved important matters temporarily and took time to come back to have lunch with them in the harem, Qi Xin directly slammed on him and couldn't get off.

But not long after she stayed in her father's arms, she called out to Qi Rui to hug her.

Sitting in Qi Rui's arms, the little girl turned her head to Qi You and said, "Father, give me a hug.

"Although my mother doesn't say it, I know that my mother misses you. I'll give you to her for a while!"

The princess who met her prince in the bed tent these few days and nights paused, her expression froze.

On the contrary, Qi You didn't have the slightest bit of strangeness on his face, and directly came to her side with Cao Mi's somewhat disgusting gaze.

If not for all four children, Cao Mi really wanted to keep this beast away from him.

"The enthronement ceremony and the queen conferment ceremony are all set, just next month." Qi You said, "This king has been free recently, and finally has time to accompany the princess."

Qi Ran and Qi Xin cheered while holding the venue.

Cao Mi rolled his eyes secretly, coughed and asked, "What about Qi Rui and Qi An?"

Qi You added: "They have fought with me in the past few years. Although their strength and knowledge have grown a lot, their schoolwork has fallen behind."

He turned to look at his two sons and said, "After the enthronement ceremony, you should also go to official positions.

"Together with Qi Ran, follow Lin Yi and Zhou Xue and a few masters to make up for everything that should be learned."

The happy Qi An glanced at the corner of his mouth and exchanged glances with Qi Rui next to him, but then he resigned and said, "Follow my father's teachings."

After saying this for a while, Qi Xin struggled restlessly.

She said to Qi You and Cao Mi, "Father, the time has come, come and hug me!"

Qi You deliberately took Cao Mi's hand: "But your mother still needs..."

"Go!" Cao Mi got angry and broke his hand and interrupted him.

Qi You shook his head helplessly, and compromised to take his little daughter back into his arms.

In order to hide the smile on his lips, Cao Mi turned his head and cast his eyes towards the clear sky outside the window.

In the first year of Yanjia, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed the country's name to Xinsheng.

Emperor Yanjia and the Empress have a strong relationship and have been with each other for life. They not only created a prosperous and prosperous era far beyond their predecessors, but also laid a solid scientific and technological foundation and educational system, becoming a dynasty that has the greatest influence on future generations.

Some unverifiable facts disappeared in the dust of history, but left a faint fragrance that lasted for thousands of years.

The author has something to say: The main text is over here, and there will be a foreign exchange to represent the future of the four children, the changes of the Xinsheng Dynasty, and the affairs of the Lizhou warship and Japanese pirates!

I'll take a day off tomorrow... I'll update the episode the day after tomorrow!
