Chapter 394 Little Ancestor
Huo Yanran was too embarrassed to say that she was a phoenix. It was good enough to be an eagle flying in the sky of Beili.
She did not mention a single word in the letter about the hardships and fears she had endured during her days of escape. She only told her mother that Beili was not that bad after all.
So the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry too much about her.
Moreover, Huo Yanran felt that in this life, being able to walk thousands of miles with Liu Yan and wear red clothes together, how could it not be considered a marriage?
Just this, the silly girl is already very satisfied.
Queen Wang's eyes were tearful as she read the letter. She couldn't bear to lose her composure in front of Liu Yan, so she folded the letter and put it in her sleeve. She turned to Liu Yan and said, "Thank you for your hard work on this trip to Beili, Lord Liu. Yanran has been spoiled by me since she was a child..."
"The princess is fine."
Liu Yan didn't think the princess was spoiled at all.
He said to the Empress, "I will send her to Beili, and will take her back to Daxing someday."
Queen Wang was shocked when she heard this.
Is this Liu Tanhua such a direct speaker?
Fortunately, there are no outsiders here.
But Queen Wang still waved her hand, signaling all the palace ladies to leave, leaving only a senior female official standing aside.
Queen Wang said slowly, "Master Liu's words..."
"The current civil unrest in Beili was quelled by the Prince of Chang'an with the help of the new Great Chanyu of Beili. The Chanyu promised that the diplomatic relations between the two countries would no longer be maintained by marriage. The princess stayed in Beili because the Prince of Chang'an and the Princess Consort proposed to open a trade with Beili..."
Liu Yan knew that Queen Wang was different from the Emperor. The Queen only wanted her children to be well, so she told Queen Wang all the things that she never mentioned in front of the Emperor.
These matters were of great importance and could not be written in letters, lest they be intercepted and put the Prince of Chang'an and his wife in danger. However, Queen Wang had been kept in the dark and was inevitably extremely worried.
So Chunzhi, Huo Zheng and Huo Yanran discussed it and decided to let Liu Yan explain to his mother in person after returning to Beijing.
In this way, the possibility of being caught by others is completely eliminated.
It can also make Queen Wang feel at ease.
Liu Yan said that once the two countries open up mutual trade, thousands of people will benefit and the situation will be very different.
Queen Wang has been on the throne for so many years, and although she never interferes in state affairs, she is aware of these things.
After listening to it, she felt sorry for Yanran for being so silly, but also proud of her for having truly grown up.
Even though the little princess grew up in the deep palace and her eyes were full of fame and fortune, she still had a clear heart, cared about the people, and loved the world.
It was inconvenient for Liu Yan to stay in the harem for long, so after talking to Queen Wang, he took his leave.
Queen Wang asked Lady Gao to escort him out of the palace.
After Liu Yan left the palace, he did not return directly to the Liu Mansion, but instead went to the Pingxi General's Mansion.
When the maid Jinshu came to report that "Lord Liu is here to visit", Song Wan'er was bandaging a wild cat with a broken leg.
The wild cat was unruly and kept breathing at people in a ferocious manner.
Song Wan'er patted the wild cat's head and said, "If you are mean to me again, I will drug you and see how you can be mean to me!"
As she spoke, she asked the maid, "What did you say just now? Who is here?"
"Tanhua Liu, Master Liu!"
Jinshu raised her voice, and this time she shouted especially loudly.
Song Wan'er was stunned. "Liu Tanhua came to see me? Didn't he escort the princess to Beili as a wedding envoy? He's back?!"
As she spoke, she didn't bother to bandage the injured wild cat anymore. She directly handed the white cloth in her hand to the maid beside her, "You come and bandage it. I have to go see Liu Tanhua."
As Song Wan'er spoke, she lifted up her skirt and ran quickly to the front hall.
When the servants and maids in the general's mansion saw the lady running away like a gust of wind, they thought she was going to do something weird again, so they immediately sent someone to report to the general.
When Song Wan'er came to the front hall, she saw Liu Tanhua standing in the corridor. He was tall and graceful, with his clothes lifted by the wind, and even his hair was messed up, which looked beautiful.
"Liu Tanhua."
It was the first time that Song Wan'er saw Liu Tanhua so closely. She had joked with the princess before, saying that she would never have the chance to appreciate Liu Tanhua's face up close in her lifetime, which was quite a pity.
Unexpectedly, after the princess went to Beili, Liu Tanhua actually came to her in person.
"Miss Song."
Liu Yan did not call Song Wan'er Madam Jiang because the princess said that Song Wan'er did not want to marry Jiang Hao and would divorce him sooner or later, so when he saw her, he could only call her Miss Song and not Madam Jiang.
When Song Wan'er heard Liu Tanhua calling her like that, her eyes lit up slightly, "Liu Tanhua is indeed Liu Tanhua, his words are so pleasant to the ear."
"This is what the princess asked me to bring to Miss Song."
Liu Yan took a large bag from his follower and handed it to Song Wan'er.
"The princess also asked someone to bring me something?"
Song Wan'er couldn't hold it in anymore when she heard that.
She missed the princess.
I miss you very much.
The bag was big and heavy, and Song Wan'er had a hard time carrying it, but even so, she still carried it herself.
Because this was something that Princess Beili, who was far away, asked Liu Tanhua to bring to her.
Song Wan'er asked Liu Yan anxiously, "How is the princess doing in Beili? Has anyone bullied her?"
"The princess is staying in Beili on behalf of Daxing. Beili dare not neglect the princess."
Liu Yan briefly talked about the princess's recent situation. After Song Wan'er confirmed that the princess was doing well, she felt relieved.
There were servants and maids guarding the area, and as Liu Yan was a stranger, it was not convenient for him to stay with Song Wan'er for long, so he said goodbye after he finished speaking.
Song Wan'er wanted to send him off, but he declined.
Song Wan'er was also anxious to see what the princess had asked Liu Tanhua to bring her, so she asked Jinshu and the others to send Liu Tanhua out. She herself carried the big bag and placed it on the stone table. When she opened it, she found a bunch of Beili specialties.
It was a pile of beef jerky, fried rice and other snacks, as well as a letter.
Song Wan'er opened the letter and saw that Yanran said in the letter that there were not many storybooks to read in Beili, so she could only bring her some food.
Beili’s beef jerky is particularly chewy and becomes more fragrant the more you chew it. I like it very much, so I want to let our Wan’er try it too.
Yanran also said, this time you can see Liu Tanhua up close and even talk to him, are you happy?
Song Wan'er couldn't be happy at all. She started crying as she read the letter.
The princess was alone in Beili, not knowing what days she was going through, but she actually remembered the jokes she had told before.
When Jiang Hao rushed back after hearing the news, he saw Song Wan'er crying while holding a big bundle.
She cried very sadly.
None of the servants and maids around dared to step forward to persuade them.
Jiang Hao was originally working outside when a servant from the mansion came hurriedly to report that Liu Tanhua was looking for his wife, but he didn't know what he wanted.
Jiang Hao thought Song Wan'er had come up with a new way to make trouble for others, and this time she had joined forces with outsiders. He rode back, but saw Song Wan'er, who was usually stubborn, crying like a tearful person.
Jiang Hao threw the whip to the follower behind him, walked quickly forward, and walked to Song Wan'er's side. When he spoke again, his voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees, "What's wrong, little ancestor?"
