"Mom, you are not old. At most, you are a half-old lady. You still have your charm. You are my father's beautiful wife, my elder brother and I's beautiful mother, and my sister-in-law's beautiful grandma for the baby in her belly."
"Look at this child, this little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. It makes my mother become a beauty. Now that my mother is old, she can no longer compete with young girls like you and Ling'er."
"Mother is not old. People say that women are forty-one flowers. Mother, you have just turned forty. You are as old as a flower. How can you say you are old?"
"That's right. I went out with my mother a few days ago, and people thought we were two sisters. Do you think it's because my mother looks too young, or because I look old." Ling'er said pretending to be helpless.
"Of course my mother looks too young. My sister-in-law is only the same age as me. How old can she be?"
"I'm almost a grandma, how can I not grow old? By the way, Ling'er, have you eaten all the supplements I asked Hong Yu to bring over in the past few days?" I seemed to see Hong Yu's face change color, just like that
In an instant, it returned to normal.
"I'll eat them all if I return to my mother. Thank you for your concern, mother!"
"Are you okay? Those supplements are anti-fetal medicines that I asked Shopkeeper Li from Huichuntang to get. If you take them, they will be good for both mother and child."
"It's okay! Thank you for your concern, mother!" Ling'er's face was a little pale and she didn't look very good. Could it be...?
I called Dingding and whispered a few words, and Dingding immediately turned around and left the dining room.
The whole family was harmonious and had a lively reunion dinner. I brought some vegetables to Mei from time to time. Mei ate very little, maybe she felt uncomfortable.
The eldest brother also gave Linger this and that from time to time, and the couple looked at each other happily from time to time. Dad and Feng discussed some political affairs between the DPRK and China, which seemed to be about the annoying and unpredictable issues that the Shuilan Kingdom came to the border to harass from time to time.
I didn't understand very well, and I wasn't interested either, so I chatted with Mei one by one, watching Hong Yu's every move from the corner of my eye.
Hongyu has served my mother for many years and has gained her trust. Before there is conclusive evidence, I don’t want to make arbitrary and unjust accusations and hurt my mother’s heart.
"Rou'er, what are you thinking about? You want to be so absorbed?" Chu Fengyang has been discussing the current affairs of the court with the old prime minister, but his mind has been on this beautiful little woman. Fortunately, his little princess did not do anything too outrageous.
It could be seen that she was absent-minded, thinking that she missed him again, which made her feel a little disgusted, and her tone of voice became quite sour in spite of herself.
"I'm thinking...about the issue you just mentioned about the Shuilan Country coming to the border to harass. I'm wondering why they come to harass them when they have nothing to do. Are they full and holding on? Or why not just go on a large-scale attack and have a decisive battle?
, it keeps drizzling and the ground doesn’t get wet, what’s the point?” Fortunately, I was smart and came up with a topic in a flash of my mind.
It turned out that Rou'er was worried about the government affairs for him. Chu Fengyang couldn't help showing a pleasant smile on his face, and his tone became gentle, "I don't know this, but I will take care of the government affairs, so Rou'er doesn't have to."
Don’t worry too much, it’s more important to take good care of yourself.”
Ever since Shuilan King Lan Aotian ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, Shuilan Kingdom has become increasingly powerful. Three years after he ascended the throne, he began to reduce tribute. Five years after he ascended the throne, he began to harass the border from time to time.
Now, Lan Aotian has been on the throne for twelve years. There are constant wars on the border between the two countries, but these are just minor harassments and do not cause major damage. The two countries are also maintaining a superficial calm, and no one is at odds with each other.
Just like Rou'er said, if Shui Lan really wants to invade Fengyun, then what does this little drizzle mean? But according to the spies' reports, Shui Lan Kingdom seems to have no trace of large-scale military deployment in recent years. What does Lan Aotian want?
do what?
Because of this matter, the father and the prince and brother were also very troubled. The Shenwu General Li Wei requested several times to lead troops to inflict serious damage on Shui Lan. However, the disaster occurred and the war burned the people, which was very inappropriate. Furthermore, whoever sent the troops first
, as an unjust master, the situation has been peaceful for many years, and many people are unwilling to start war again.
Thinking of Lan Aotian, who was as noble and domineering as himself, Chu Fengyang would always think of the cold and arrogant man he met on the day Rou'er was seriously injured. He was not the Lan Aotian he had seen, but that compelling feeling
Arrogance and coldness are so similar, and he also carries the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill exclusively used by the royal family of the Water Blue Kingdom. Who is he? There is no such person in the royal family of the Water Blue Kingdom.
And the woman named Lan Shuiyue who I met by chance in Wenxiang Courtyard that day, who was she? Lan is the national surname of Shuilan Country. After leaving Wenxiang Courtyard that day, spies were sent to investigate, but
But she seemed to have disappeared from the world, and no matter how powerful the spies were, they could not find any trace of her.
No matter who they are, if they want to hurt Rouer, they will be killed without mercy!
"Oh." I agreed obediently, but I was muttering in my heart: Why do you keep raising me like a pig!
"Miss, can you take out the gifts you prepared for everyone now?" Dangdang walked over and asked in a low voice.
Seeing me nodding, he immediately asked the maids to come out with a lot of boxes.
"Gifts are being distributed! Gifts are being distributed! First come, first served, no one is late!"
"Dad, this is a New Year's gift from my daughter!" Dad opened the brocade box and saw an object he had never seen before. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He held it in his hand, and it had the shape of a palm, but he didn't know what it was.
"Dad, it's cold in winter and you have to deal with official duties, so my daughter made you a pair of gloves."
"Gloves?"
I put the gloves on my father and said, "That's it. When you use a pen to handle official business in the future, wear these gloves and your hands won't get cold."
Dad was so moved that tears filled his eyes and his lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.
"Mother, this is the scarf that my daughter gave you. When you go out to worship Buddha in the future, you can wrap it around your neck so that you don't have to worry about the cold wind blowing into your neck!" Mother's eyes flashed with tears.
"Brother, these are the fleece boots that my little sister gave you. As the captain of the emperor's guard, you often stand in the snow for several hours. My little sister specially added thick and warm cashmere to these boots.
, and it’s made of cowhide, so it won’t get wet, and of course it won’t be invulnerable. When you put it on when you’re on guard in the future, your feet won’t get cold.” The eldest brother was so moved that he only looked at me, probably the former Su Piaorou.
I have no such intention.
"Sister-in-law, these are the thickened cashmere slippers that my little sister gave you. I even added a pair of bunny ears specially for you. Isn't it cute and very warm? I promise you to use them." Ling'er said with a face.
With a smile on my face, I know she likes my gift very much.
"Mei, this is yours," I took the second-to-last box, "You, you practice swordsmanship all year round, but you still don't want to put your hands in your pockets to keep warm when it's so cold in the winter. As for me, I specially asked someone to give it to you.
