Empress Chu

"Both father and daughter are not good people, they will threaten you."

He complained one sentence after another, and when the last sentence came out, he was poked by the man next to him, who stopped awkwardly and looked at Kapok Red.

"Master, I, I'm not." He stammered and explained, "I'm not blaming you."

"Master, we can do whatever we want with you." The previous man also said, "We are not afraid of anything, we are just worried that you will be wronged."

The other man also nodded, with a depressed expression: "That's right, she can't bully people like this."

Mu Mianhong looked at the three of them and smiled: "I know how you feel, but don't worry, she is not threatening me, let alone bullying others, she is doing it for our own good."

She didn't hide it from her brothers, and told everyone Chu Zhao's words.

The faces of the three of them improved a lot.

"It's not easy being a queen." A man muttered.

Mu Mianhong said: "It's not easy to do anything. To be a queen is to be the best person in the world, and you have to suffer the most in the world."

The other man hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "But she doesn't recognize you on the surface, and doesn't tell the world, she should recognize you in private."

Kapok Hong was silent for a moment.

"She dares to look at me now and doesn't avoid me." She said with a smile, "I just accept me in my heart, don't worry."

Having said that, he sighed again and looked up at the night sky.

"Although I recognize her and miss her, in fact, I don't know if I'm really for her."

The three men looked at each other, what do you mean?Not really for her, what is that for?

"I regard her as a daughter because I gave birth to her, and a mother should, must, miss her daughter." Mu Mianhong said, "But in fact, I, I don't know, is it me who misses her, or is it just a mother .”

Even more confused, the three men stared wide-eyed.

Seeing their appearance, Mumianhong laughed too, but she couldn't tell.

"However, just now, I saw her eating and talking to me in front of me, and I suddenly understood." She said softly, "I missed her, I was happy to have a daughter, and I was sad at the time. Without her, I—”

She lowered her head as she spoke, hiding her sudden tear-filled eyes.

The three men looked at each other. Although the head of the family is very delicate, but in fact, he kills without blinking, hits without stumbling, and almost never sheds tears——

"I don't know what to say." Mu Mianhong raised her head and said with a smile, "Just don't worry, everyone, I'm fine and happy."

Seeing that, the three men nodded, and said no more: "Then you, the head of the family, should do your work first."

Seeing Kapok Hong enter the tent, the three men looked at each other.

"But." A man said in a low voice, "I think Chu Zhao is just like Chu Yu, a smooth-talking, black-hearted ghost, you see, a few words and a few words make everyone obsessed—"

The other two men kicked him, "Stop saying a few words."

The three laughed and walked into the night, while Chu Zhao, the black-hearted ghost sitting in the tent, was staring at the bowl in front of him in a daze.

There is a stewed chicken feet and a radish ball in the bowl.

This is what Kapok Red gave her in exchange for gifts just now.

What a coincidence, these two are her favourites, and Ah Le specially asked the restaurant to make them.

Kapok red, you know her taste.

She didn't know the taste of Kapok Red, so she treated Xiaoman according to Xiaoman's. She knew Xiao Man very well, and Xiaoman and Kapok Hong were always together.

Kapok Hong has never been with her, just these days, but marching and fighting, eating and sleeping in the open, drinking milk tea and eating dry biscuits, there is no taste preference at all.

How did she know?

Chapter 1 Spring

The cold winter seems to be very long, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The vast land changed into new clothes overnight.

Zhong Changrong stood on the wall of the Tunpu, listening to the generals and taking the map from the soldiers while soldiers galloped in and out.

"General Zhong." A scout who came running reined in his horse and shouted, "Lieutenant Xie Du is back."

Zhong Changrong threw the map to the generals: "You bastard, why are you so slow?"

The generals are all confidantes, and they are happy to know what Xie Yan is doing here and there.

"Is this still slow?" Someone counted with their fingers, "It feels like he came back in the blink of an eye. Did he see the queen?"

Zhong Changrong suddenly felt that it was too fast.

"Is this brat lazy and slippery and didn't go at all?" He gasped, stomping down the city wall, "I'll ask him to go."

He couldn't wait for Xie Yan to come and report to him.

But Zhong Changrong didn't see Xie Yanlai when he came in person - Xie Yanlai was taking a bath.

"What do you think you are taking a bath for?" Zhong Changrong stood in the room and yelled through the curtain, "It's not that you are waiting to be a groom, you children of aristocratic families just have a lot of problems."

Xie Yanlai's lazy voice came from the door curtain: "That's right, there are many problems with the children of our aristocratic family. I not only want to take a bath, but also to eat—" He said and called out the name of Qinwei Xiaoshan, "The food that the young master wants Bring it quickly."

Qinwei Xiaoshan stood outside the door and answered yes with a smile.

"Don't worry, General." He also said to Zhong Changrong, "Our young master took a shortcut and was covered in thatch, soil and rocks. He really can't see people without washing."

The guardian Xiaoshan was chosen by Zhong Changrong for Xie Yanlai from his own side, but judging from what he said now, if he talked about our young master, he might think it was the servant of the Xie family.

Zhong Changrong glared at Xiao Shan: "Who cares what he looks like."

Xiao Shan smiled and didn't refute, turned and ran away, "I'm going to urge the food in the kitchen, don't burn it, it's cold, it's salty——"

Zhong Changrong scolded a bit of shit, and then scolded Xie Yanlai who was behind the door curtain: "What a child you brought into me."

"Don't nag like a gossip." Xie Yanlai said lazily, "You didn't want to see me either, she wrote you a letter, it's on the table, take a look."

Zhong Changrong didn't care about Xie Yan coming to scold him for being a gossip, so he rummaged through the table. The table was in a mess, with belts, leather bags, and dirty clothes piled up on it. Zhong Changrong pushed them down and threw them on the ground. Only then did I see two letters and a paper package.

His name was marked on the letter. Zhong Changrong sat down and opened the letter with his name written on it, looking at it comfortably like a fish jumping into the water.

The letter was not long, but it clearly wrote down the matter of this paragraph and the next explanation, including the arrangement of the kapok red. Zhong Changrong was sad to see it, but he was relieved and couldn't finish it——

He glanced over the table, and there was another letter.

"Why did I write you a letter?" He said, "Didn't we meet? What kind of letter should I write to you? I'll see what it says."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the letter, but before opening it, the door curtain was lifted, and the people inside rushed out like the wind——

Zhong Changrong's eyes blurred, his face was splashed with water, and the letter in his hand was also taken away.

"You bastard!" He scolded, raised his hand to wipe the water off his face, and saw Xie Yanlai wrapping his lower body, wet as if he just jumped out of a tub, "Why are you crazy!"

Xie Yanlai pressed the towel in one hand, and held the letter in the other: "What do you think of other people's letters? Are there any military regulations?"

There are military regulations and military laws that do not allow letters to be dismantled—Zhong Changrong thought to himself, but immediately slapped the table: "What are Ah Zhao's letters—"

"Azhao is the queen." Xie Yanlai raised her eyebrows and said, "Can you read the queen's orders casually?"

After all, he took the letter and went back to the inner room like a blast.

Zhong Changrong was still a little dazed: "The queen's order——"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yanlai rushed out again, grabbed the small paper bag on the table——

"What is this?" Zhong Changrong shouted with a glare.

The door curtain shook, and Xie Yanlai's voice came from inside: "My dim sum."

Zhong Changrong was puzzled: "Who cares about your dim sum? I'm not a kid." He patted the table again, "You still have time to buy dim sum, what the hell are you doing!"

The voice of a young man humming a ditty came from inside: "It's so easy to leave this ghostly place of Bianjun and come to King Zhongshan's county town. Of course it's a good time to go shopping and eat wine."

Zhong Changrong sneered twice, and he didn't care anymore. Now he also knew that this kid was just talking irritatingly, and he still knew how to do things properly, so he definitely wouldn't really go shopping and drinking.

Sitting in front of the table, he could only read the letter in his hand again for fun, and waited until Xie Yan came to get dressed and come out.

"What did Azhao write to you?" Zhong Changrong asked again, and handed over his own letter, "Come on, let's exchange and see if there is any news missing."

Xie Yanlai ignored him: "The empress is free to arrange, there will be no omissions, don't you believe in the empress?"

Of course he believed in Ah Zhao, but——Zhong Changrong touched his chin, what did Ah Zhao have to say to this kid, he glanced at Xie Yanlai, the young man after bathing, his profile was cut like a knife, there seemed to be drops of water in it No matter how you look at it, it's not pleasing to the eye!

"You met Ah Zhao, what did she say?" He asked angrily.

Xie Yan came and said, "I didn't say anything."

Zhong Changrong became even more angry: "Why didn't you say anything? Then what did you do?"

Xie Yan came and said, "I am sleeping."

Zhong Changrong stared: "Sleep? You ran over and went to sleep?"

Xie Yanlai said: "I worked very hard all the way. When I saw her, I knew I was safe and got the letter, so I naturally went to sleep."

Zhong Changrong flicked his sleeves and stood up: "What's the use of you!" He took the letter and walked away.

Xie Yanlai frowned, raised her eyebrows, and threw herself on the bed with a letter in one hand and a snack bag in the other. Exhaustion flooded in like a tide, and he frowned again as he looked at the roof of the tent.

In fact, he didn't know why he fell asleep at that time!

It was so easy to see him, and after only two words, he fell asleep!

Tired is very tiring, but not so tired.

Maybe it was because Chu Zhao was nagging beside him, maybe he was getting impatient, so he might as well take a nap.

What was she nagging about then?I really didn’t hear it when I fell asleep, maybe I should listen to it——

……

……

"Master, the food is here—I even stole a jug of good wine from General Zhong—"

Xiao Shan happily walked in holding the wooden tray, but saw Xie Yanlai lying motionless on the bed.

"Master?" He whispered, put the tray on the table, and looked up.

The young man had already fallen asleep, sleeping deeply, his chest heaving slowly, and the paper bag in his hand hanging outside the bed was slowly slipping down——.

Xiao Shan reached out and grabbed it in time, before it fell to the ground. He opened it and saw a few pieces of flattened pastry. He shook his head sympathetically and sighed: "Young Master is so hungry, I want to eat such an ugly pastry—"

He said and threw a piece into his mouth.

"I've prepared delicious food and wine for my young master. I'll just eat these ugly snacks."

Xiao Shan looked proud.

"I am so caring, the next time my master will call me, I will be able to fight side by side with my master."

……

……

When the land of Bianjun is covered with greenery, the inland of the Central Plains has already reached the time when the spring scenery is the thickest.

Bypassing a mountain ridge, you can see a peach forest in front of you, just like colorful clouds, extremely gorgeous.

Chu Zhao raised the fence and looked into the distance.

"Miss, let's go to enjoy the flowers." Seeing her fascinated, Ah Le suggested.

Chu Zhao thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's better, it's important to hurry."

Ah Le nodded and said, "Let's hurry up. When we get to the capital, there are many flowers to enjoy."

Chu Zhao smiled and urged the horse, but not far ahead, he saw someone standing on the hillside beside the road, with a fluttering blue shirt, looking at the peach grove in front of him.

This is for viewing flowers?

Chu Zhao urged the horse forward, and the people on the hillside turned their heads.

"Miss." He said in a clear voice, "The flowers are blooming just right, why don't you stop and enjoy the flowers."

Chu Zhao reined in his horse and raised the fence to look around.

On the hillside, the young master's eyebrows and eyes are like gentle jade.

"Thank you, Third Young Master!" Ah Le has already blurted out, "It's such a coincidence that I can meet you."

What a coincidence, Chu Zhao laughed, who could meet the third son Xie by chance?
