"How is the young master?" Aunt Jiang was worried about the young master after having been away from Zhuangzi for several days.
The steward smiled and said: "It's all good, it's all good. I got up early to practice boxing and kicking, and the food was delicious. After finishing reading, I stayed up very late. I went to hurry up. The young master also said that he wanted to study more and would see the concubine soon.
Well, if the concubine asks about his homework, he can tell more so that the concubine will be happy."
Aunt Jiang gave her a look, and the steward immediately knew that she was wrong and quickly changed her words: "It's madam, I made a mistake."
Aunt Jiang then said: "How can Madam care about this? Madam just wants the young master to be healthy."
The steward followed suit.
Aunt Jiang let out a long sigh: "Whenever I can see my wife and young master reunited, I will feel at ease. Mothers all know how it feels when their children are away from you, not to mention that they have been separated for so many years.
As long as a mother can bear it, she will finally be able to endure it until the clouds clear and the moon shines."
The steward said: "Everyone is looking forward to this day. It's really not easy for my wife to go through hard work every step of the way."
At this point the steward paused: "Did everything go well this time?"
Grandma Jiang sighed: "There is some good news, but you still have to be careful."
They inquired about the news and found out that the so-called King Yu was false and that King Yu was indeed dead. This made Aunt Jiang breathe a sigh of relief. What all of them were afraid of was that King Yu was still alive like Princess Changle. What would the young master do?
How long do we have to wait?
Now that the worst outcome has been avoided, the rest is easier to accept.
There was still no news about Nie Shen and Luo Zhen. The people sent out found traces of their fight with the Feng family. They must have been killed by the Feng family.
Aunt Jiang stayed outside Jiezhou for several days, letting out a lot of eyes and ears. She didn't find anyone watching around, so she felt a little relieved. Otherwise, she would never dare to come back.
Aunt Jiang walked straight towards the inner courtyard. Before she passed the Moon Gate, she saw a figure walking over in a hurry.
The young master was not very old, but he was already as tall as Aunt Jiang. When he saw Aunt Jiang, he immediately smiled and stepped forward to salute her.
"Master, get up quickly," Aunt Jiang said with a smile, "How can I stand this? Please let me take a look at you."
There was no need for Aunt Jiang to say anything, so Xiao Qi walked around in a circle to show that everything was fine with him.
Aunt Jiang nodded with satisfaction.
Xiao Qi looked at Grandma Jiang with an expectant look on her face, but he didn't ask, as if he was afraid of causing trouble to Grandma Jiang.
Aunt Jiang couldn't help but feel a sore nose. The young master is still young but he knows how to think about others. The concubine's thoughts over the years have not been in vain.
Aunt Jiang and Xiao Qi entered the room. The maid brought tea. Aunt Jiang moistened her throat. After there was no one else in the room, she whispered to Xiao Qi: "Young Master, you are not far from going home.
, after this matter is over, there will be many people supporting you and taking you back to the palace."
Xiao Qi's face was full of surprise: "Is what grandma said true? I'm about to see my mother?"
Aunt Jiang didn’t know what to say. If the concubine heard what the young master said, she would probably get red-eyed. The young master didn’t ask for anything else, he just wanted to go back and reunite with his mother. With such a character, no wonder the concubine could be so happy.
Missing.
On the other hand, looking at the eldest son...it’s okay not to mention this person.
Aunt Jiang nodded: "You are about to be reunited with the concubine."
Xiao Qi couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Mother Jiang, when I return to my mother, I will read to her every day, and I will also make lotus seed soup for her to eat. By the way, doesn't my mother like to play chess?
I will stay with my mother from now on."
Aunt Jiang felt so soft in her heart.
Xiao Qi continued: "Mother Jiang has to follow us all the time, but when you go back there will be someone to help you with things, so you don't have to work so hard."
"And Ah Fu and the others, we all have to go back together."
The young master is thinking of a way out for everyone.
Aunt Jiang continued: "Young Master, there is one more thing you must remember."
Xiao Qi looked like he was being taught.
Aunt Jiang said: "After you go back, you have to prepare for inheriting the title of king. In the future, Prince Yu's palace will have to be shouldered by you. There are so many generals left behind by the old Prince Yu, and they all have to listen to your orders."
Xiao Qi's eyes were full of solemnity: "My husband told me that my father also mentioned this to me when he came to see me when I was a child. After my father left, I would read the letter left by my father over and over again every day. It said
I don’t dare to slack off on those things.”
Aunt Jiang nodded happily.
Xiao Qi's eyes flashed slightly: "Mom, I'm still a little scared."
Aunt Jiang comforted her softly: "Don't worry, young master, we are all following you."
Xiao Qi said: "I've heard a lot about eldest brother. I'm afraid that by then I won't be as good as eldest brother and the generals won't recognize me as their general. If eldest brother is still here, maybe..."
Aunt Jiang immediately frowned: "Young master, you must never have such a kind heart. Although you are brothers, after the eldest master was lost, you have always been resentful towards your family. There is blood on your hands these years, even more so.
He has become crazy. If he had known that you were there in advance, he would have definitely tried every means to get rid of you. He would not be filial to his wife, and there is no way he would attack her secretly. Fortunately, this time I am sure that the eldest young master is dead."
Xiao Qi stared at Aunt Jiang: "Didn't the elder brother... die in the battle long ago?"
"Yes," said Aunt Jiang, "there are several people pretending to be the eldest son and are still alive and are recruiting the troops of the armed guards. Our people went deep into them and found out the exact information. That's why I want to go out for a trip."
Originally, she shouldn't have told the young master these things in advance, she would have to wait until the concubine gave her instructions. However, since the young master was benevolent towards the eldest son, she had to remind the young master.
"Those people will use any means for profit."
Xiao Qi frowned: "What about mother? What would mother think if she knew about it?"
"The generals raised by our palace cannot fall into the hands of others," Aunt Jiang looked at Xiao Qi. "The concubine will find a way to get them back under the young master. As for those who cause trouble, they must be eradicated."
Xiao Qi stopped talking now, still lowering his head and thinking.
Aunt Jiang sighed, the young master had to know all these things, and he had to go over there, and no one could help him.
Aunt Jiang left. Xiao Qi did not go to sleep but looked through the military books on the table. Gao Qiong, who was guarding outside, walked in.
"Sir," Gao Qiong said, "it's time for you to rest."
Xiao Qi looked at Gao Qiong: "Mother Jiang has brought back news, maybe we have to go out this time."
Gao Qiong nodded.
Xiao Qi continued: "Unfortunately, I am too young and may not be able to convince the crowd. They have all been on the battlefield with my eldest brother. They have seen a lot and experienced a lot. If they knew that I have been hiding here all these years, they would definitely
I despise it, but I still want to be the general. Mom is right, there must be someone to support my mother and the palace."
"Don't worry, Young Master," Gao Qiong said with a firm face as he knelt on one knee, "I will die for Young Master later, letting them know that even though Young Master is still young, he has the true inheritance of the prince and will definitely be far better than the eldest Young Master in the future."
Xiao Qi stood up and walked to Gao Qiong, stretched out his hand to help Gao Qiong up. His expression was complicated: "Don't do this. You are the only one who has been with me these years. In my heart, you are my brothers."
Listening to Xiao Qi's words, Gao Qiong was even more determined to send the young master to the position of general this time. Let alone any trouble, even if the eldest master really survived, he would not be able to compete with the young master.
