The scene of that dream slowly emerged in Yuan Qingling's mind, and every word gradually became clear, too clear to be a dream.
She even felt that it was just a dream now. Perhaps it was because of the hangover that made her feel like she was stepping on clouds and fog when she stepped on the ground, giving her the feeling of a dream.
When facing Yu Wenhao, her smile was empty and pale, as if she was trying to squeeze it out and was very stiff.
Occasionally, her mother's screams would be heard in her ears, and her heart would feel sharp pain, so painful that she almost had to bend down to stop it.
At this time, Yu Wenhao knelt down and hugged her gently, without asking or saying anything, just looking at her with painful eyes.
Yuan Qingling understood that he knew everything. There was another dream in that dream, in which she jumped down to look for her mother, but he held her in his arms and refused to let her go.
He was afraid. Seeing the panic in his eyes, Yuan Qingling hid her pain and longing and buried it deep in her heart.
He didn't mention a word, and she didn't mention a word, as if the drunkenness had never happened.
However, that night, Yuan Qingling sat next to him in the pavilion and watched the stars. She whispered: "Lao Wu, you said before that if I am no longer with you, I will find a way to come back to you. I promise.
You, no matter what situation I face, I will come back to find you and your children, and I will never abandon you."
Yu Wenhao hugged her tightly, all the words were in his mind, and he only gave a heavy hum.
Yuan Qingling still felt heavy pain in her heart, but she learned how to deal with this emotion.
After the child's full-month banquet, there was the celebration of the crown prince's canonization in the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Ming Yuan had previously sent letters of credence and invited envoys from various countries, and now the envoys are arriving one after another.
Yu Wenhao also felt happy because someone sent out reported that General Jingting would arrive in the capital tomorrow.
Yu Wenhao was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He hugged Yuan Qingling and kept talking about him and General Jingting.
Yuan Qingling had never seen him so carried away. Although he was happy that he had a good friend, he was also secretly worried that General Jingting was from the Zhou Dynasty. Hearing that he was coming to court, he came with a purpose.
, will it cause any trouble? If he really has ulterior motives, with Lao Wu's trust in him, I'm afraid Lao Wu will use him without hesitation and without any complaints.
Therefore, when Yu Wenhao said that he was going to the city gate to pick up General Jingting tomorrow, Yuan Qingling offered to go together.
"You're going too? But I don't know how long I'll have to wait, so I went early." Yu Wenhao was afraid that she would wait too long and was reluctant to let her suffer, so he persuaded her not to go.
Yuan Qing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If you wait too long, I will find a teahouse nearby to sit down. I heard that the general is bringing his wife, so I should pick him up. Besides, when General Jingting asked Jiang Ninghou to give him
We brought Wuyousan, and we should repay this kindness well."
"Yes, it's really thanks to him." Yu Wenhao was very happy to hear that Yuan Qingling praised General Jingting so much, "Then since you want to go, let's go together. After we get there, you can find a teahouse to sit in.
Come down and watch from the city gate. If I see the team coming, I will ask Xu Yi to notify you."
Yuan Qingling looked at the look and excitement in his eyes and couldn't help but shake her head. Is there really such a deep friendship in this world? She had only seen it once after hearing about it.
The next day, after breakfast, the two set off with Ah Si and Xu Yi.
Ah Si and Xu Yi were very excited when they heard that they were going to meet General Jingting. While on the carriage, Ah Si told Yuan Qingling about General Jingting's wife Chen Jinning.
"This Mrs. Chen is also surnamed Chen. It's very strange. In Zhou Dynasty, people with the same surname can get married. I heard that this was an example set by the Queen Mother Long. Chen Jinning was born in the Duke's palace and was later named a princess. She
My father is a military general, and so is she. He has led troops in battles. Major General Hong Lie, who defeated Xianbei, fled. I heard that he almost lost his life on the battlefield. I can't wait to see this heroine.
I wonder if she has three heads and six arms?" Ah Si laughed stupidly.
Yuan Qingling also laughed after hearing this, "How can a person have three heads and six arms? Isn't this nonsense?"
"Even if she doesn't have three heads and six arms, she must be tall and mighty. You think she is a female general." Ah Si said yearningly.
Yuan Qing laughed loudly, "Ah Si, I heard that your Yuan family also has a group of female generals. Are all of your Yuan family tall and mighty?"
Speaking of her family, Ah Si was also very proud, but she said: "Our Yuan family is naturally powerful, but not like Princess Chen Jinning. She led the troops alone to first suppress the civil strife, and then attacked Xianbei.
The female general is so handsome, and she became famous in one battle, this is something that even men can't do, right?"
Becoming famous in one battle is indeed powerful. Yuan Qingling also admires capable people, so he has more expectations for General Chen's wife.
When we arrived at the city gate, the team from the Ministry of Rites was already waiting. In the past two days, envoys from other countries had arrived one after another. The Ministry of Rites was responsible for welcoming them, so naturally they had to arrive early to wait.
According to the reports of the people sent out, the person arriving today is the envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After Yu Wenhao arrived, he said to the Minister of Rites: "I will come to pick up today's envoy group. You all can go back."
The minister smiled and said: "Your Highness, we will pick him up together. If the minister picks up someone, he has to send him to the Zhanguan."
Yu Wenhao looked back at Yuan Qingling, hesitant to speak.
Yuan Qingling looked at him and said, "What do you want to say?"
Yu Wenhao took her hand aside and whispered: "If I invite Jingting to live in our house, will you have any objections?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "No, our mansion can accommodate them. If you want to invite them to live in our mansion, then invite them."
It's okay to live up close, at least I can see a little bit.
Yu Wenhao was in high spirits and said happily: "Old Yuan, you are such a kind person."
Seeing how happy he was, Yuan Qingling couldn't help but laugh.
Yu Wenhao asked them to go into a nearby teahouse to rest, while he had tea with the guard at the city gate. The guard was very restrained and kept refilling tea for him, but he did not dare to drink it.
The weather has gradually become hotter. The city gate is connected to the official road, and there are battlefields on both sides. When the wind blows, the wind and sand are blown up all over the ground. The windows of the teahouse are eight-open, and sometimes the sand blows in, and there are waiters.
He kept wiping the table with a rag.
Because they knew Yuan Qingling's high status, everyone in the teahouse did not dare to neglect and stood in a row to wait on her. This made Yuan Qingling very uncomfortable, so she simply went out and took Ah Si to the tower.
Climbing the tower again, Yuan Qing Ling couldn't help but think of Princess Jinghe.
Thinking of the thrilling day that day, I still have lingering fear in my heart. I don’t know where she has gone now. Has she found peace in her heart?
She supported the city wall with both hands, raised her eyes and looked into the distance, and asked Ah Si, "Where will Princess Jinghe go now?"
Ah Si shook his head, "I don't know, will you go to Beijun to find King Wei?"
