With the help of Sara, her father quickly regained several cities on the border. In the following years, they had a subtle cooperative relationship with Sara.
Sara never asked for anything from them, and their own country was very rich. They still occupied the best land in each country, and the surrounding states still made tribute to Sara every year.
They helped Beiyuan because they felt that their fighting with the barbarians outside the Great Wall around their countries had affected the peace of their countries, so they were willing to help them.
Later, when she reached the age of marriage, her father and brother sent her back to the capital, saying that they had found a good match for her. She was the youngest daughter of the Xiao family. She had been doted on by her parents and brothers since she was a child, and they only took her in as a last resort.
After living with him for several years, now that she is eighteen, the marriage can no longer be delayed, and I don't want her to suffer at the border with them.
Xiao Yurong got married and moved to the Wen Mansion. At that time, the border fortress had not yet been settled, and her father and brother were still stationed at the border.
She was eighteen years old when she got married, and Qingyu had just turned three, and lived with her parents in the frontier.
Qingyu grew up in the frontier fortress and had a lively and cheerful temperament. According to the letter from his father and brother, Qingyu was able to use a good gun at twelve. As his father and brother went into battle to kill the enemy, Qingyu at fourteen was able to lead his own troops.
Xiao Yurong's brother and sister-in-law are both military generals, and the daughter they trained is naturally not inferior to them. Qingyu is also their pride.
When Qingyu was sixteen years old, when she led an army to recapture a frontier city, she was trapped by the enemy. At that time, even her father thought she would never come back, but a month later, she recovered well
's back.
I heard that it was the eldest prince of Salo who led the troops to rescue her and brought her seriously injured back to Salo.
Although Qingyu came back fine, his hands were seriously injured and he could no longer use the gun.
Another year passed, and the border had been stabilized. It was also this year that Beiyuan wanted to establish a new emperor, which was another change of royal power that caused turmoil in the government and the public.
In order for the new emperor to securely ascend the throne, and for the newly settled Beiyuan to no longer be turbulent with killings, Xiao Yurong's father, the Duke of Guo, and the late sage betrothed Qingyu to the second prince, who is now the sage.
.
The Xiao family has been at the border for several years and has spent more than ten generations at the border. It has long been the most solid pillar of Beiyuan, the backbone that supports Beiyuan. It has made countless military exploits and loyalties. The Xiao family married their legitimate daughter to the second prince.
, is a very obvious stance. This is telling the officials in the government and the public that the Xiao family supports the second prince.
No one has any objections, and no one dares to have objections at this time when the world is about to be settled.
The only person who had any objection was the participant in this marriage, Xiao Qingyu.
It was also that year that Sara asked for a favor from Beiyuan for the only time. They only wanted one person, Xiao Qingyu, the second young lady of the Xiao family.
Xiao Yurong still remembers that her father was seriously ill, and Qingyu cried for the first time in front of her beloved grandfather.
Qingyu was so strong by nature that she would not shed a single tear even if a thousand arrows pierced her heart. However, she shed tears because she wanted to marry into the royal family. She even secretly returned to the border from the capital, but her brother sent many troops to capture her overnight.
Went back.
Her brother asked her to persuade Qingyu, but she heard Qingyu cry and say that he did not want to marry because she already had someone in her heart, so she could not persuade him no matter what.
In the end, her brother brought Qing Yu to her seriously ill father's bedside. She didn't know what her father said to Qing Yu. From that day on, Qing Yu stopped crying and ran away, and quietly waited for marriage in Xiao Mansion.
, prepare to become the most noble queen of Beiyuan.
Shortly after Qingyu got married, her father became seriously ill and passed away. That was the last time she saw Qingyu shed tears.
Her father worked hard for Beiyuan for decades and devoted his life to the battlefield. However, he died at the time of Beiyuan's great success and could not even take a look at the prosperous scene of Beiyuan.
It was due to her father's efforts that Qingyu, who grew up beside her grandfather, listened to his instructions, and was taught by him, could not bear to reject his last words before his death.
But Beiyuan owed Sara from beginning to end. The only favor that Sara asked Beiyuan for, Beiyuan was unable to honor.
Now after so many years, Prince Sara suddenly came to Beiyuan, which had to make Xiao Yurong's heart arouse.
A few days ago, she received a letter from her second brother who was stationed at the border, saying that the king of Salo died suddenly and his younger brother succeeded to the throne. Now the king of Salo is Que Wu.
Xiao Yurong never thought about how Jiao Jiao could get so close to Que Wu and even let her grab her hair!
It's not that she doesn't know the traditions of the Salo people, this is what worries her the most.
The favor that Beiyuan owed to Suoluo was always remembered by Beiyuan, her father, the old Duke Guo. He left his last words that if Suoluo makes another request to Beiyuan in the future, as long as the country's capital and territory are not moved, other things will be done.
All requests must be agreed to.
It was hard for Xiao Yurong not to suspect that Sara came here specifically to ask for this favor.
The more Xiao Yurong thought about it, the more panicked she became. Jiao Jiao had a pure temperament and was raised by her to be ignorant of the world. If she could just coax him...
No, absolutely not, the sky is high and far away from Sara, and Jiao Jiao must not be taken to Sara.
Xiao Yurong's intuition was so accurate, especially when it came to her only daughter. She even scratched other people's hair. The hair of the Salo people was like life. The King of Salo let her scratch it casually. This was not the case.
Isn’t it sensible to bully her daughter?
Yuzhu looked at his mistress with an angry look on her face as she didn't know what she had thought of. The kitchen knife was about to break the chopping board into pieces.
"lady......."
Xiao Yurong suddenly looked at Yuzhu, holding a kitchen knife in a posture that startled her, "Yuzhu! In the days after the palace banquet, you have to keep an eye on the good lady! She is not allowed to have contact with that foreigner, do you know!"
Yuzhu: "I know...I know, madam."
After everyone in the Wen family stayed at Bieyun Villa for two days, they were ready to pack up and return to Wen Mansion. According to Xiao Yurong's plan, they were supposed to stay at least six or seven days, but she was afraid that something might happen to Wen Jiaojiao at this time.
I just wanted to take her back quickly.
Wen Jiaojiao has been a little dazed since she had a high fever that day. She only sleeps all day long. Today she is finally feeling better. She looked at Xiao Yurong and Yuzhu packing their things and thought about it.
Go out for a walk and get some fresh air.
Feng Xin saw that Wen Jiaojiao was about to go out, so he quickly grabbed a cloak and followed him.
The madam specifically told them that no matter where the young lady goes, they must follow her.
Wen Jiaojiao went out from the gate of Bieyun Villa and met Wen Miaoran who was also going out.
Seeing Wen Miaoran, Wen Jiaojiao snorted naturally and walked past her arrogantly.
After she left the house, she realized that she usually had to remind her to maintain her personality, so she would pretend to maintain it, but today Lao Liu didn't even remind her.
As Wen Jiaojiao thought this way, Lao Liu made a weak "di" sound in her mind.
Wen Jiaojiao: "..."
Why does she feel like something is wrong?
Forget it, this system has never been reliable anyway.
Wen Jiaojiao walked up the road leading to the Taoist temple from Bieyun Villa. Somehow, she wanted to take a look at the blessing signs written by her mother-in-law. There was a consciousness in her mind telling her that seeing these blessing signs, she could
Think of something.
But what should she remember?
Wen Jiaojiao didn't know that she had been feeling foggy in her mind for the past two days.
Walking to the prayer square in front of the Taoist temple, Wen Jiaojiao walked towards the big tree where she prayed. There were still many people today. As soon as she arrived at the square, she had to squeeze in. Feng Xin protected her and walked forward slowly.
"Wang, isn't that the little girl from the Wen family?"
Que Wu stood at the top of the steps in the square. When he heard Pada's words, he looked around and at a glance, he saw the small figure crowded in the crowd.
Her illness has been cured? How can such a small person run into a crowd of people?
Que Wu walked towards her quickly.
Pada and Bau looked at each other and saw smiles on each other's faces.
Ba Wu also jumped up and followed him. Pada grabbed him and asked, "What are you doing following me?"
Bawu: "I think the little girl next to the little girl from the Wen family is an eyesore. I'll go and get her away."
Pada let him go: "Yes, get her away quickly so as not to hinder the king."
Bawu grinned and quickly followed.
Wen Jiaojiao was squeezing forward with difficulty when suddenly his body became light and his feet left the ground.
Wen Jiaojiao was startled and looked back, only to see Que Wu holding her arms and lifting her up.
"Que Wu, you..."
"Miss!" As soon as Feng Xin spoke, someone pulled her out of the crowd.
Fengxin shook off Bawu's hand, "What are you pulling me for? Do you want to be beaten?!"
When Bawu heard Feng Xin say that he wanted to beat him, his eyes narrowed when he laughed. He grabbed Feng Xin who was about to continue pushing his way into the crowd, "Don't worry, look, she is there."
Feng Xin looked along Bawu's hand, and saw that her young lady was sitting on the shoulders of the foreign master, and she stood out from the crowd.
