Someone knocked on the door at this time, obviously disrupting the situation.
"Who?" King Xiang'an was furious.
Liu Qingchen's smile was like the bubbles in an opened champagne bottle, unable to stop them from popping up. "Hahaha..."
"The old princess asked the prince to come over." The voice of the person outside the door sounded like Qi's mother.
He was a famously cautious person, and there must be a reason why he dared to do such a thing.
King Xiang'an looked at Liu Qingchen who was laughing like crazy and sighed. He vaguely felt that maybe he would never be able to possess this favorite girl in this life.
His dressing movements are always so decisive and neat, and he never looks back when he goes out.
Liu Qingchen watched him leave without looking back, and could no longer laugh.
Every time a lover leaves, no matter how long the time is, the moment of leaving has the possibility of never saying goodbye.
Under the green lamp, light and shadow flow.
An old woman dressed in common clothes was working as a female worker under the lamp. The gorgeous fabric slipped between her fingers, which was not rough, and there was an indescribable sense of grace. She was exactly what Liu Qingchen saw in the vegetable field that day.
Old woman, at that time Liu Qingchen wanted Shu Mei to include her in the painting.
As soon as the door curtain was lifted, King Xiang'an walked in and saluted: "My mother and concubine called me, and I came here to say hello."
It turns out that this old woman is the old princess of Prince Xiang'an's palace and the biological mother of Prince Xiang'an.
The old princess raised her head and glanced at King Xiang'an, lowered her head and was still sewing clothes.
The King of Xiang'an stood aside with his hands down, watching his mother sewing clothes for him. Time passed by quietly bit by bit.
King Xiang'an was only in his mid-twenties, and King Xiang'an's mother was only in her early forties. The mother and son looked almost alike, with excellent facial features, delicate facial contours, and a cold and calm expression.
Temperament. But the years are like knives. The old princess's gray hair and old face make her look like she is at least sixty years old.
The thread follows the needle, and the two sides of the fabric are connected together with dense stitches, and finally a long back line is sewn.
The old princess handed the needle and thread to King Xiang'an. King Xiang'an leaned over and threaded the thread on, then respectfully returned it to his mother.
The old princess spoke, her voice unexpectedly hoarse and ugly: "I heard that your new princess is the second daughter of the Liu family."
King Xiang'an paused and replied: "Yes."
The old princess: "You are always reassuring when you do things. There is no need for a useless old woman like me to talk. It's just that this matter is of great importance. I want to hear your opinion."
The king of Xiang'an said: "We have only been in possession of this fiefdom in Xiang'an for more than ten years, and I am the only king in Wuwei with a foreign surname. All this is just because of the protection of the Queen Mother."
The old princess nodded.
King Xiang'an continued: "If the Queen Mother dies and there is no new monarchy in the country, then I will kill her if everyone gets it. Xiang'an is also a place that the strong will fight for. So for Xiang'an and myself, I must make Xiang'an
Become the most powerful land."
The old princess put down her needlework and looked up at her son, with a bit of pride in her eyes.
The King of Xiang'an had a firm vision: "To develop a country, we must start from the economic, military and political aspects. What Qingchen has learned in his heart is enough to make our Xiang'an economy the strongest in the shortest time."
"She can greatly increase the output of the mining and iron smelting industries. In this way, we will have enough low-priced iron to make weapons and agricultural tools, which will further stimulate the development of agriculture and the military. Moreover, Liu Qingchen is very knowledgeable about agriculture and politics.
He also has a very unique perspective.”
The old princess nodded: "It turns out that Miss Liu Er is a treasure, so everyone is fighting not to let go."
King Xiang'an sneered: "It's better to strike first. She is already my princess. Even if the Queen Mother knows about it, what will happen if King Yan understands."
The old princess asked: "I've met this Miss Liu Er once. She seems to be a good-looking person, and she's very talented and profitable."
A gentle smile appeared on King Xiang'an's face: "She is smart and intelligent, but she doesn't show much of it on weekdays. Instead, she is a bit stupid and cute."
The old princess glanced at her son and sighed: "I don't see how this Miss Liu Er can be of great benefit, but her ability to cause trouble is surprisingly strong. The Queen Mother has already expressed her position. No matter what, she will decide to do Miss Liu Er.
She is her own daughter-in-law. If someone blocks her way, don't blame her for being ruthless. Tell me, you didn't catch the fish, but you got yourself into trouble. Do we have the ability to confront the Queen Mother? "
King Xiang'an had a fierce look on his face and was speechless.
The old princess added: "If there is a treasure that everyone wants, it is best to let the most noble and powerful person among them get it. You must know that ordinary people are not guilty, but they are guilty of carrying the treasure."
King Xiang'an was still speechless.
The old princess said: "You disregarded your own safety and insisted on taking Miss Liu as your wife. What are your plans?"
Alas! The old princess said softly: "Do you really like that girl?"
An inexplicable expression flashed across King Xiang'an's face, and he stared at his mother.
The old princess stood up, turned around, walked to the small table, and took out a small wooden box.
The workmanship was very rough, and the surface of the box was a little dark due to long-term caressing. The old princess opened the box, and inside was a small, not delicate, wooden hairpin. She handed it to King Xiang'an.
King Xiang'an took a step back, feeling a little scared.
The old princess trembled and said: "Your current position is obtained by the blood and sweat of many people, so there is no need to count them. Those who have gone have passed away, and those who have come can be pursued. If you insist on going your own way, and look at each other with the Queen Mother Yan, this Xiang'an
There is no need to elaborate on your future. I am also a dying person. As long as you are good, of course it is not a problem. But, but... alas, your life does not belong to you now. If you make this decision, the Ling family will surely
The risk of annihilation. Do you really not care about the many tribesmen who have risked their lives to follow you? And your father! Is he doing it for you?"
King Xiang'an lowered his head and said for a long time, "I understand."
The old princess retracted her hand, put the hairpin back, hugged the box, and sat down again.
cool light
The old princess rested her chin on the box and swayed gently back and forth, as if she had fallen into memories.
King Xiang'an closed his eyes and felt a sense of sourness. Life was like a cup of bitter wine to him, but after drinking it, he became numb and didn't feel so bitter.
Liu Qingchen, Liu Qingchen, Liu Qingchen...
Liu Qingchen fell asleep again. She recently returned to the arms of King Xiang'an. Although she knew that the future would not be smooth, it was none of her business to have King Xiang'an to hold her up if the sky fell. That feeling of peace of mind was
It has never been easier. In this world, she is not alone. She will face the ups and downs of the future with another person.
The candlelight danced, causing some shadows to move on her face, as if she had some vivid expressions.
