In fact, Qiao Wanyou didn't know which battlefield her youngest son and Ali were on, so she naturally couldn't answer her daughter's question at this moment.
But her daughter has been depressed since Gongsun Sheng left Beijing, so she has to say a few words.
"Prince Sheng is indeed good-looking. To be able to become the crown prince of a country, he must be very capable."
"Nan Yao, do you know that he is twenty-five? Even if a man of his age doesn't have a wife, how can he not have women by his side?"
"You envy the relationship between your brother and sister-in-law, and yearn to find your ideal husband. That's right."
"You are wrong. You unilaterally categorize Prince Sheng as a man like your brother."
Not everyone is like her son, who once he identifies a woman, will only recognize her for the rest of his life.
"A man of twenty-five, he would probably have had many children in Beiqi by now."
What's more, the members of the Beiqi royal family are all very romantic.
"You're only sixteen, there's such a huge age gap between you and him. To put it bluntly, with your brain, can you really beat him?"
"Also, fighting him is one thing, but if you fight the woman next to him..."
Qiao Wanyou shook her head, glanced at her husband, and continued, "There's never a shortage of women in the palace. Once there are too many women, there's always more gossip. Sometimes, women are the most vicious, and that's true."
Long Yi: “…”
What was his queen hinting at?
Qiao Wanyou retracted her gaze and looked at her daughter calmly: "If you really marry to Beiqi, then those women will have no one to protect you if they plot something."
"In Dajing, if you get into trouble, your brother and sister-in-law will cover you."
"Go to Beiqi, no one can help you."
"To put it bluntly, whatever good or bad you will do in Beiqi, if the people you marry into are controlled or something happens to them, your father and I will never know about your situation."
Hearing this, Fu Nanyao nodded: "My daughter knows, but she is not marrying to Beiqi anyway."
Qiao Wanyou knew her daughter didn't really listen to what she said, so she waved her hand and said, "Go away."
Fu Nanyao said nothing more, bowed and left.
Long Yi looked at his daughter's receding figure and murmured, "Should Nan Yao go out and relax?"
"Just let her be quiet." Qiao Wanyou's voice was quite calm.
"Okay."
He finally knew what his queen had said to his daughter before scolding Gongsun Sheng that day.
Thinking of what she had just said about the palace having no shortage of women, he finally understood and immediately changed the subject: "Wen Yu, have you been handling things well recently?"
Fu Ciyi said, "Everything is fine, don't worry, Father."
"I don't know what you and your son are talking about." Qiao Wanyou looked at her son. "Yesterday, the old prime minister complained to me, saying that His Royal Highness Prince Rui has no regard for his brothers and is incapable of brotherly love and respect. What's going on?"
It is said that the legitimate prince should be more kind than other princes.
The words left her confused and in a bad mood.
She would get angry if anyone said anything bad about her son, whom she was proud of.
"Just ignore it, mother." Fu Ciyi's voice was as clear as jade. "It's just a small matter."
"So, is there really something wrong?"
Seeing that her son refused to speak, Qiao Wanyou looked at her daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law also didn't say anything, so she had to turn her questioning eyes to her husband.
"What's going on?"
Long Yi smiled and said, "This kid has put Li Hui and Gongsun Man under house arrest."
"So that's what happened." Qiao Wanyou chuckled. "It's really a small matter. I was just overthinking it."
That day, the young couple had lunch in the palace before leaving.
After leaving the palace, Fu Ciyi told Fu Xi, who was driving, "Go to the Duke's Mansion."
Outside the car, Fu Xi said yes.
Inside the car, Yan Funing was puzzled: "Third brother is going to the war, do you want to accompany me back to my parents' home?"
"Um."
"Thank you, husband!"
When the two arrived, the mansion was already bustling with activity.
Yan Yingying's family had already arrived, along with Old Master Yuan. Many people from the Hong family also came, and a family of three from Prince Cheng's mansion also came.
"It has been a long time since any of the Yan family members went to the battlefield. Today is a good day." The old Duke was very happy and took the opportunity to chat with Old Master Yuan.
Seeing this, Fu Ciyi finally understood that the Yan family had made great achievements for generations, and since they had a son going to the battlefield, they would not be as depressed as other families.
When everyone saw Prince Rui and his wife arrive, they all called them to sit next to them, wanting to know where the battlefield was.
There was no news of any fighting going on. Yuan Yi turned around and thought for a moment, vaguely guessing something, but still wanting an answer. He spoke, "I just asked Xinghe and my brother-in-law, but neither of them would say anything. Your Highness must know where the fighting started."
Fu Ciyi smiled slightly: "It's just to let them go out and practice."
Just as everyone was drinking tea and chatting, a man arrived in a hurry.
"Grandfather Yan, where did Bo Jian go?"
The person who came was Shi Yangyang.
She had just heard from her brother that Yan Bojian was leading his soldiers to war, and she immediately went to Yan's house upon hearing the news.
"They went for a drill. We don't know exactly where it was. It's all military secrets." The old Duke made a gesture of silence, indicating that Shi Yangyang didn't need to ask any more questions.
Shi Yangyang sat down next to Yan Yingying: "Sister Yingying, tell me."
"I don't know either." Yan Yingying held her hand and looked at her carefully. "You and my third brother are the worst enemies. Why did you come here today to talk about his expedition?"
Yan Funing chuckled: "We're just happy enemies, but we don't really get along."
"Humph, you two sisters teamed up to bully me?" Shi Yangyang lowered her eyes, blushing for the first time. "He's not in the capital, and he doesn't argue with me. I'm so bored."
You have to know that bastard Yan Bojian left Beijing for many years.
Now that he's gone, she's really afraid that she'll end up an old maid.
Yan Yingying and Yan Funing looked at each other.
After all, they were sisters, and their tacit understanding was unmatched by others. They both asked in unison, "Do you like him?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Shi Yangyang.
Shi Yangyang was not a shy woman. Although her face was red, she still stood up and said, "The Shi family and the Yan family should have been married. Since my brother and Fu Ning can't get married, then Yan Bojian and I can give it a try."
Yan Bojian, who was now far away from the capital, sneezed three times while riding on horseback.
Before Zhenfeng Town Shou could ask, Fu Beimo and Meng Li rode past them and came to Yan Bojian's side.
Meng Li: "How is the General?"
Fu Beimo: "General, are you okay? We can help you share your worries."
Yan Bojian: "Are you all okay? I just sneezed."
Are they just thinking about performance?
Duke's Mansion, Nanyuan Flower Hall.
Hong Qingyi asked Shi Yangyang with a smile: "Does your mother know what you are thinking?"
"Let's ignore her for now." Shi Yangyang moved her butt to sit next to Hong Qingyi and patted her chest. "Auntie, look at me. I have a good figure and good looks. I can be your daughter-in-law, right?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, how shameless! How can you recommend yourself like that?" Yan Yu joked with a smile, "Or maybe you'd be a better match for my Long Xu."
Long Xu, who was carving wood for Yuan Lang in the corner: "..."
