After five days of fierce debate, Emperor Liang finally made a decision.
Main sum.
In the north, the Huyan clan's cavalry and Chen Bing were on the border, and Mengmen was in danger. Emperor Liang sent envoys to discuss peace.
When the envoy left Suidu, Qing Yan came to the general's mansion.
Qing Lingyi is still sleeping.
"Let her sleep, there's no need to shout." Qing Yan called Bi Wei.
However, she still entered the room and took a look, her eyes flashed across Hmm's brows, and she paused slightly.
The good thing is that Hmm looks the same as her, so there's not much that he looks like.
After a long time, Qing Yan looked back and entered the study.
Wu Liang came in from the outside with hot tea. Cheng Yang stopped him halfway, quietly blocking him and taking the tea cup away from his hand.
Wu Liang:?
Cheng Yang didn't squint his eyes, holding the teacup in his hand and handing it to Qing Yan, "Mother-in-law, please have some tea."
Wu Liang:? ? ?
General Cheng, you are really good.
Qing Yan took it and looked around. There was no unobtrusive person in the study, so he got straight to the point and said, "You should leave Suidu as soon as possible with your um."
Cheng Yang was stunned for a moment, "Leaving Suidu?"
"Yes," Qing said, "Whether you go to guard the border or return to your hometown of Jingzhou, you can."
Cheng Yang thought for a moment and understood, "Mother-in-law is worried that Huyan will agree to negotiate a peace."
Qing Yan nodded. That's the good thing about talking to smart people, it's relaxing and not tiring.
She said: "The Huyan family hates you and me, especially the new king of Huyan, Ule Qiejia. Because of some things, he and I have had a long-standing grudge. Your Majesty will advocate for peace, and he will definitely make demands. , there’s no guarantee that this won’t involve me. Well, as my only daughter, I’m afraid she will also be implicated.”
Cheng Yang remained silent.
"I know that you have suffered many injustices in the years since you became a family, and you have come back to seek revenge. In other words." Qing paused slightly, her expression becoming solemn, "I will assist you so that your great revenge can be avenged and you can leave with peace of mind. .”
Cheng Yang tapped the armrest with his fingers, "Besides, there is another important matter."
"What?"
"Eh-huh, I have been assassinated over the years. I have to deal with this matter." Cheng Yang's voice was slightly cold.
"What are you dealing with?"
Outside the door, Qing Lingyi's voice sounded.
Everyone looked over.
Cheng Yang stood up first, "Aren't you sleeping? Why are you up?"
Qing Lingyi's eyebrows were crescent, and she said with a smile: "I dreamed that my mother was here."
Cheng Yang held her hand and said, "What I dreamed about came true."
Walking up to Qing Yan, Qing Lingyi tilted her head and asked, "Mother, what were you talking about just now?"
She always felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.
"I want Cheng Yang to take you out of Suidu." Qing Yan was not shy about it.
"Why?" Qing Lingyi didn't understand.
"Cheng Yang and I are both here. Your Majesty will be worried that we are too powerful." Qing Yan used this rhetoric and did not mention the menacing Huyan clan.
Qing Lingyi also understood this and did not have any doubts.
She whispered, "But, mother, what if I miss you."
"You can write me a letter," Qing Yan said with a smile, "Besides, didn't I sew a small yellow for you?"
"Speaking of Xiao Huang."
Qing Lingyi seemed to have just remembered, "By the way, mother, shall I take you to see Xiao Anle? She is my daughter, and she is taking care of Xiao Huang now."
It's been a long time since my mother came back, but she hasn't brought the two of them to see each other.
"good."
Qing Yan responded and glanced at Cheng Yang without any trace.
Qing Lingyi caught this look and thought that her mother was concerned about her daughter, so she quickly explained: "Xiao Anle is not the biological child of General Cheng, but the daughter of a previous subordinate. The subordinate died for General Cheng, so General Cheng adopted him daughter."
Qing Yan even laughed: "I know you care about Cheng Yang, but I didn't expect you care about Cheng Yang like this."
Qing Lingyi blinked his eyes.
"I'm still busy with some things, um, um, you and your mother-in-law go." Cheng Yang said at the right time.
He understood that Qing Yan's look just now was not for small comfort, but for the important thing she had asked.
Qing Lingyi nodded, "Okay."
The mother and daughter walked out hand in hand.
At this moment, Cheng Anle was crossing the courtyard to the east. Zuo Yu settled there, and the school was also located in the courtyard. The three children are very upbeat and have passed Zuo Yu's test, and now they have officially started studying.
Halfway through, Qing Yan asked out of the blue: "Hmm, are you curious about who your father is?"
Qing Lingyi was slightly startled: "My father?"
Qing Yan hummed.
Most children would be very concerned about who their biological father was, but in her impression, he had never asked him about it since he was a child.
"Are you never curious?" Qing Yan asked.
"Of course I'm curious."
Qing Yan raised her eyebrows, "Then why did you never ask?"
"Because I don't want my mother to be in trouble," Qing Lingyi said obediently, "If my mother wanted me to know, she would have told me early. If she didn't take the initiative to tell me, of course she didn't want me to know. I am ten months pregnant. , the child who worked so hard to give birth should not put the mother in a dilemma no matter what."
Qing Yan smiled and rubbed her head.
"...I know that if the way is not good, the wise will go beyond it; the fool will fall short. If the way is unclear, I will know it: the wise will go beyond it; the unworthy will fall short."
When the two arrived, the sound of reading aloud could be heard across the courtyard.
The courtyard is filled with a faint aroma of calligraphy and ink. Qing Lingyi would always remember the dark and painful time in Yongxing County's palace when he heard it.
But unlike her, the three children were very focused on their studies.
Qing Lingyi pointed to the little girl wearing a goose-yellow dress and sitting upright, and said to Qing in a low voice: "This is Xiao Anle."
Qing Yan nodded.
Zuo Yu, who was up there, noticed the mother and daughter. When the children finished reading a paragraph, he said: "Let's take a break first."
After a pause, he added: "Look back and see who is coming."
The three children looked back.
"Mother!"
"Auntie!"
Amid the cries of joy, Qing Lingyi and Qing Yan approached.
Cheng Anle noticed Qing Yan and asked, "Mother, is this your mother?"
Qing Lingyi smiled and said: "Yes, Xiao Anle, you should call me grandma."
Cheng Anle called out obediently: "Grandma——"
Qing Yan always felt that the title "grandmother" was too far away for her, and it felt like a world away from her.
But she really liked the soft and well-behaved little girl. She couldn't help but touch Cheng Anle's soft cheek and said, "It's so cute."
He squeezed it again and asked, "Do you like studying?"
Cheng Anle nodded honestly.
"What do you want to do in the future?" Qing Yan asked.
"A very powerful female poet! Or a historian or literary master."
Perhaps out of shyness and fear of being laughed at by others, Cheng Anle's voice became softer and softer, and his cheeks turned slightly red.
But Qing Yan praised: "It's amazing. I look forward to reading your history books in the future."
Cheng Anle's eyes instantly bloomed with thousands of brilliant lights.
"Madam! General!"
At this moment, a voice came from the courtyard gate.
Wu Liang rushed over quickly and said in a loud voice: "Vice General Si is back!"
