Chongxi [rebirth]

He Lanyuan's proposal to change her surname was also impulsive.After finishing speaking, he felt regretful, worried that Ye Yunting would be embarrassed.

She hated Ye Zhili, and naturally she didn't want her child to bear his surname.But after he finished speaking, he came back to his senses and realized that for Ye Yunting, Ye Zhili might not be a good adoptive father, but he might not be a good mother either.

Ye Yunting had no feelings for Ye Zhili, and he might not have feelings for her, his biological mother who never raised him.

Hastily proposing to change her surname, it seems that she can't wait to forcibly tie people to her side.

She rarely showed regret, and changed her words: "I just mentioned it casually. If you are used to it, it's fine if you don't want to change it. Left and right are just surnames, so it doesn't matter."

It was Ye Yunting who noticed the subtle changes in her expression, and understood her concerns after careful thought.

Although he and He Lanyuan are mother and son, they have never gotten along with each other, and it is normal to have a lot of concerns about each other.But he is willing to take the first step to break the strangeness between each other.

"Changing the surname is just the simplest thing, and I have no objection." Ye Yunting thought for a while, and said softly: "But does mother have any plans for the future?"

Changing the surname is just a matter of certiorari, and the real troubles are yet to come.

Today, He Lanyuan publicly admitted his identity. When this matter is reported to Nanyue, it will surely cause shock in the ruling and opposition parties and create waves.

"Of course I have a plan, but what to do in the end depends on you." He Lanyuan said bluntly: "This country was earned by your father with hard work, and I have worked hard to keep it. I naturally hope that you can inherit it. But I also know that you grew up in Beizhao and have a deep friendship with His Majesty, if you don't want to separate, I won't force you."

Ye Yunting did have this intention. For him, Nanyue was too unfamiliar, and Bei Zhao, who grew up since he was a child, was his homeland.His lover, his home is here.

"In ancient times, Wu Zhao proclaimed himself emperor, did my mother consider... imitating her ancestors?"

Wu Zhao is a woman, and He Lanyuan is also a woman.They also relied on their women's bodies to win the court strife and control the power of a country. Wu Zhao can be called emperor, so why can't He Lanyuan be called king?

Hearing what he said, He Lanyuan knew that he had already made a decision in his heart.

She looked disappointed, but she still explained patiently: "It's not that no one has advised me before, but I have seen enough intrigues these years, and I don't want to be caught in it again. If it wasn't for the accident in the He family, I would have been I want to ask for a favor, to break away from the family, abandon the status of the aristocrats of the family, and be a commoner couple with He Lianxu, indulge in the mountains and rivers."

There is no dispute between family and country, no intrigue, no power, no fame and fortune, just an ordinary couple.

It's a pity that God didn't want it.

The He family was wronged, He Lian died, and she was the only one left to guard the foundation of Nanyue, fighting against each other, step by step.

Seeing Ye Yunting's ashamed expression, as if apologizing for his refusal to return to Nanyue, He Lanyuan smiled relievedly: "You don't have to worry, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world. If Niu doesn't go back to Nanyue, I will pick him from the clan again." A child is."

She pretended to be light, and never mentioned the hardships involved.I am afraid that Ye Yunting will be even more embarrassed.

But how smart is Ye Yunting?He was deep in the Beizhao Dynasty Hall, and he didn't say everything about the situation in South Vietnam, but he also knew about it.Naturally understand He Lanyuan's hardships.

He pursed his lips, and finally he could only say: "If mother has any difficulties in the future, you can write to me."

He Lanyuan nodded, and then stopped talking about state affairs, and only chatted with the two of them about daily trivial matters over a drink.

After the palace banquet, the court in the palace was as peaceful as ever.But the bizarre life experience of King Changning spread quickly.

King Changning's journey was already quite legendary, but now he suddenly has a new identity as the prince of Nanyue, and there are more people talking about it, and people are discussing it after dinner.

Some people say that a treacherous and sycophant like Duke Qi would not be able to give birth to a fairy like King Changning.

Some people also tried to restore the truth from those few words, guessing that after Qi Guogong rescued Queen Mother He, maybe he wanted to lock people up as a confinement.In the end, the kind-hearted Mrs. Wang saw through the conspiracy and helped Queen Mother He escape. She kindly adopted Queen Mother He's son and raised him as a parent...

Others were worried that King Changning became the son of Empress Dowager He, so would he go back to South Vietnam in the future?

As soon as this guess came out, all the fanciful guesses were thrown aside, and the common people began to worry sincerely—King Changning was the assistant star that Si Tianjian had determined.If King Changning returns to Nanyue to inherit the throne, will Emperor Xing lose his support and become unstable?

The going and staying of King Changning is related to the stability of the whole Beizhao!

The rumors in the market were well made up, and when they spread around and then reached the ears of courtiers from aristocratic families, they felt that this guess was not unreasonable.

When the Temple of Heaven was offering sacrifices to the heavens, the thunder and rain stopped as soon as King Changning appeared. Although they didn't say anything on the surface, after recovering, they still felt that it was probably just a coincidence.

But now that he has tried King Changning's method, and knowing the identity of the other party, he feels a little bit guilty.

Whether King Changning can assist the emperor will not be said, but if he really returns to Nanyue to inherit the throne, given time, Nanyue will definitely be the enemy of Beizhao!

From this aspect, King Changning is absolutely indispensable to Bei Zhao.

So those South Vietnamese envoys who were inquiring about the news found that the courtiers who received them suddenly changed their attitude.In the past, as long as they asked about King Changning, these people would definitely praise him, and the deeds listed could make a storyteller talk for three days and three nights.

But if they mention it now, the other party must show vigilance and look them over, and then say with a tense expression: "It's okay not to mention the matter of King Changning, but why don't you all go to Yicui Tower to see the world."

South Vietnamese envoy: ...

They were keenly aware of each other's hostility, but could not figure it out.

But soon they didn't have time to pay attention to the sudden change of attitude of Beizhao officials, because after a few days, probably the news finally spread to South Vietnam, those clan royals and ministers knew that the queen mother and the late emperor had a son , One after another secretly sent letters to confirm.

Naturally, he didn't dare to ask the Queen Mother, those letters could only be sent to several envoys one by one.

Several South Vietnamese envoys gathered together and sighed sadly, but because of the empress dowager's unclear attitude, they dared not reply a single letter.

On the contrary, He Lanyuan turned a deaf ear to the rumors outside these days, first ordered people to clean up the old house of the He family in Osmanthus Alley, and then, accompanied by Ye Yunting, went to the hot spring Zhuangzi to move all the old books and manuscripts from the Zhuangzi. back.

She flipped through the travel notes she wrote when she was young, and said with emotion: "It may be fate that Zhuangzi and the travel notes fell into your hands."

"When I saw the travel notes at that time, I thought the author must be a very free-spirited and straightforward woman. I was very yearning for the landscape and human relationships in her writing." But I didn't expect that the person who wrote the travel notes would be my own mother.

He Lanyuan smiled lightly, and patted the box that was dug out from another secret place: "This book was probably left out when I packed it up, and the rest are hidden here."

This Zhuangzi was given to her by her elder brother when she was young, because she often complained that going to Beijing was boring, so her brother specially bought this Zhuangzi and gave it to her, so that when she was unhappy, she could go to the Zhuangzi to relax.Later, every time she sneaked out of Shangjing, she used the excuse of going to Zhuangzi to relax.

After sneaking back every time, the written travel notes would also be hidden in Zhuangzi, and a box full of them was accumulated without knowing it.

She didn't expect that after so many years, she could find it again.

Open these travel notes one by one, all of them are memories of her acquaintance with Helian: "If you have nothing to do, you can read it. There are many things about your father. He has a dull temper, but his heart is very soft. , and I like children the most. If I could bring you back to South Vietnam, he would definitely love you very much, and he would be reluctant to leave so early."

Speaking of this, He Lanyuan's eyes turned red, and she concealed it by turning her face sideways.

Back then, He Lianxu's body was severely poisoned, and he was able to survive for so many years only because he had practiced martial arts since childhood.By the end, he was so emaciated that he couldn't get out of bed or eat.Most of the time, he was in a coma, relying on the precious medicinal materials to hold his breath.

But even so, he didn't feel relieved to leave her alone.Life and life were exhausted until the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry before leaving reluctantly.

In those few years, she summoned countless famous doctors to develop an antidote for him, but there was no progress.It was not until the third year after He Lianxu's death that a private doctor developed an antidote to that poison.

But He Lianxu was long gone.

At that time, when she was alone, she often thought that if she hadn't softened her heart and begged He Lianxu to hold on, maybe she would be able to cure the poison, and they could still be married forever.

It's a pity that there is no if in everything.

Ye Yunting took the book, gently brushed off the dust on it, and said softly: "I will read it slowly."

……

After the He family's old house was cleaned up, He Lanyuan no longer lived in the post house, and moved back to the He family's old house.

Ye Yunting was fascinated by those travel notes, so he simply didn't go back to the palace, and stayed in the yard that He Lanyuan tidied up for him, and only asked Ji Lian to go back to the palace to send a letter, saying that he would not go back to the palace tonight.

By the time Li Fengqi finished his work and received the letter, it was already evening.

He clicked his tongue, changed into his normal clothes, and went to He Zhai to look for someone.

The old house that has just been tidied up has not been repaired, and it still has a stale look, but the surrounding weeds have been removed, the dust has been wiped clean, and a brand new plaque has been hung, giving it a little more vitality.

No servants have been added to the house yet, and only after Li Fengqi walked into the front yard did servants come up to greet him.

He Lanyuan was drinking tea in the courtyard, when she saw a servant leading Li Fengqi over, she smiled: "Your Majesty really can't wait for a moment."

Li Fengqi smiled, actually acquiescing.Sat down opposite her, looked around, and asked, "Where's Yunting?"

"In the yard at the back, I was fascinated by reading a book."

He Lanyuan originally thought that he would go looking for someone, but he didn't expect him to think for a moment and then said: "That's just right, I happen to have something to discuss with the Queen Mother."

When he said that, he deliberately avoided Ye Yunting.

He Lanyuan raised her brows and suppressed a slight smile: "Your Majesty wants to say something, but it doesn't matter."
