Chapter 589 He who eats the king's food bears the king's worries!
Looking at Qian Shi and Yang Nuannuan, Xiao Su Bao felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.
A warm current flowed from the bottom of my heart, as if something I had always lacked was being slowly made up for.
The little girl had a smile in her eyes as she reached out and hugged the two of them tightly.
"Thank you, Mother! Thank you, Mom!"
The little girl's voice was gentle and soothing, making people feel extremely comfortable.
Little Su Bao then raised her eyes, her gaze filled with gentle light.
"Don't worry, I'll be back safely!"
Although Xiao Su Bao spoke gently, her tone was full of determination.
As a princess of the Great Shang Kingdom and the Marquis of Fu'an, personally appointed by His Majesty, she could feel that her fate was intertwined with that of the Great Shang Kingdom.
I eat the king's food and bear the king's worries!
Besides, she has people she wants to protect.
Yang Nuannuan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
She looked at her daughter, her heart filled with guilt.
I wasn't a good mother. I couldn't get close to my little Su Bao back then, and now that I can, she's going to pray for blessings...
Yang Nuannuan felt a lump in her throat and choked up as she looked at her daughter.
Su Bao felt a pang of heartache when she saw her mother's unusual behavior.
"Don't be afraid, Mother. This time, I'll protect you!"
Xiao Su Bao said softly, and Yang Nuan Nuan could no longer hold back, hugging Xiao Su Bao and crying bitterly.
Qian's eyes were slightly red, but she was different from Yang Nuannuan after all.
She became stronger and more resilient, understanding that some things had to be done.
"Alright, Nuannuan, we still need to prepare things for Subao. The wedding is a big event, and it's only a little over a month away, so we need to hurry!"
Qian understood early on that it was better to do what needed to be done well and finish it than to suffer and be sad.
Because when you can't change the outcome of things, all you can do is try to make it as good as possible.
Yang Nuannuan wiped away her tears and nodded.
Little Su Bao breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that her mother had stopped crying.
She gave Qian a grateful look.
Xiao Su Bao is now fourteen years old, and will be fifteen in a few months.
Although getting married was a bit too early...
Thinking of this, Yang Nuannuan couldn't help but wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes again.
In the capital, many girls get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, or even seventeen or eighteen.
Yang Nuannuan held Xiao Subao's hand and silently shed tears.
Ms. Qian sighed and decided to give them more time.
After coming out, Wang Xiuer went straight up and took Qian's arm.
“Mother…” Wang Xiuer looked at Qian Shi affectionately. Although she was not young, Wang Xiuer’s appearance and personality were no different from when she was a child.
Looking at her second son's wife, Madam Qian's heart softened slightly. Before she could speak, she heard Wang Xiuer say, "Mother, recently several people have wanted to find a partner for our fourth son. What should we do?"
"I feel the fourth child is still young... Mother, and..."
Wang Xiuer kept talking nonstop, as if she never got tired.
After listening for a while, Wang Xiuer suddenly fell silent!
She hugged Qian tightly, burying her head in Qian's neck.
Madam Qian sighed and gently patted Wang Xiuer's back.
Like a monkey, Wang Xiuer's tears fell in and onto Qian's neck.
"Mom, I can't bear to part with Su Bao!"
Her voice was a little hoarse, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
The little dumpling was only this big when it was taken in.
She watched as she grew up, little by little.
In her eyes, Su Bao was almost the same as her own daughter!
Although Wang Xiuer is usually boisterous, she really cares about Su Bao. Now that she has heard about this, she is very flustered and upset.
Why should such a young girl have to go through so much danger?
"Why!"
Madam Qian gently patted Wang Xiuer's back, opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't say anything.
These children have a deep affection for Xiaosubao, which is also because Xiaosubao has given so much.
Madam Qian didn't speak. Sun Cuihua came over and walked to Madam Qian's side. She sighed and didn't say anything more.
Because of Xiao Su Bao's wedding, Tang Cheng and Sun Cuihua decided not to return to the village this time.
Qi Meng and Gu Xi stood not far away, sighing and feeling sad.
However, Wang Xiuer and Sun Cuihua were different from them. So the two of them just exchanged a glance and quietly left to find things to add to Xiao Su Bao's makeup in their small storeroom.
It's already mid-September, and this September is noticeably different from previous years.
This year, warehouses have been overwhelmed in various places.
The grain harvest was bountiful, and the lives of the people became increasingly better.
Not only that, two years ago, Xiao Su Bao and his friends discovered the uses of cotton.
Moreover, this was the first year of trying cotton planting, and this year, cotton planting has also increased significantly in various regions.
When winter comes, people will no longer need to stuff willow catkins or straw directly into their clothes.
Cotton is warmer!
The common people also know that these things were made by their Princess Fu'an.
Princess Fu'an's fame is now known to everyone.
Although Xiao Su Bao was busy with her wedding, she didn't forget to visit the estate.
By this time, the village had already harvested a considerable amount of grain, including corn, wheat, and rice.
And the sweet potatoes and potatoes they had obtained earlier.
After some improvements, the yield of these grains increased significantly.
Moreover, most of these seeds come from Tangjia Village and are of excellent quality.
Su Bao and Yun Mo had already arrived at the manor.
The two changed into their old clothes, and it seemed as if they had returned to their childhood.
Standing at the edge of the field, Yunmo fed a grape to the little girl.
Su Bao paused for a moment, then took a bite.
The sweet and sour taste made the little girl squint her eyes.
"Thank you!" Little Su Bao smiled sweetly, her whole being radiating joy.
Just then, a figure walked over from a distance.
It turned out to be Zhao Ziyun.
Behind him followed Zhao Sanpao, the silly, chubby kid from back then, who had now grown up and looked more mature and imposing.
"Aunt Su Bao!"
Zhao Sanpao waved excitedly at Xiao Subao, while Zhao Ziyun paused slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He walked over carrying a food box and, seeing Su Bao and Yun Mo, said, "I heard you were at the estate, so I brought some food with me!"
As Zhao Ziyun spoke, he opened the food box, which was filled with things that Xiao Su Bao liked to eat.
Su Bao was indeed a little hungry at this moment, and gave Zhao Ziyun a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Ziyun!"
Su Bao said with a smile, then took a bunch of grapes from the side and handed them to Zhao Ziyun.
"These are grapes that Yunmo just picked. They're an improved variety. Brother Ziyun, please have a taste!"
The girl's poised and confident demeanor brought a slight smile to Zhao Ziyun's face, after which he gave Yun Mo a smug look.
He casually took a bite of the grape; it was both sour and astringent...
Where can I find good food...?
Sure enough, the grapes Yunmo picked weren't tasty!
Zhao Ziyun looked at Yun Mo and said, "These grapes are quite nice. I wonder where they were picked? Young Master Yun, would you like to pick some with me?"
"It's just ahead, I'll take you there!" Yunmo could tell that Zhao Ziyun had something to say to him.
He stood up, patted Xiao Su Bao's head, and said to the little girl, "Don't eat too many pastries, we still need to go back for dinner later!"
Su Bao looked at the two of them, blinked her big eyes, and nodded.
A man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; she couldn't understand it...
As Zhao Sanpao watched Zhao Ziyun and Yunmo leave, he opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
There are some things that can't be said, and it's not good to say them!
Su Bao pulled Zhao Sanpao to eat with her and asked him about his current situation.
On the other side, Zhao Ziyun and Yunmo walked a little further away.
Zhao Ziyun's smile vanished completely.
Just yesterday, I had a dream.
He dreamt that Xiao Su Bao and Yun Mo died in the mountains!
The dream was so real that he was in so much pain he couldn't even breathe.
He didn't know if the dream was real or not, after all, he had dreamed that Xiao Su Bao was sacrificed before, but later only the Western Regions Kingdom disappeared, while Xiao Su Bao remained Xiao Su Bao.
"Yunmo, are you planning to go up Mount Tai later?"
Zhao Ziyun straightened up and looked at Yun Mo with a furrowed brow.
Yunmo paused, then nodded.
Not many people know about this, but Zhao Ziyun is now a close confidant of the emperor, so he must know something about it.
"Yes, we'll go back after we get married!" Yunmo thought for a moment, then said.
Zhao Ziyun paused, clenched his fist, raised his eyes to look at Yun Mo, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Can we not go?"
After Zhao Ziyun finished speaking, he gave a bitter laugh.
Some things can't be solved just by talking about them!
Zhao Ziyun was silent for a moment before continuing, "If you really want to go, can I go with you?"
At least, I can help them when they are really in danger!
I can't explain what happened in my dream, so perhaps this is all I can do.
Yunmo thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, this time we have to go by ourselves!"
Zhao Ziyun took a deep breath, his brows furrowed, and his eyes filled with a complex emotion.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally raised his head and spoke to Yunmo: "If you absolutely must go... I have only one request: no matter when, please..."
"Boom!"
A thunderbolt struck them on the head.
Zhao Ziyun spoke directly: "You must protect Su Bao, don't..."
"Boom..."
"Stop talking!" Yun Mo's expression changed slightly, and he immediately stepped forward to cover Zhao Ziyun's mouth.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Ziyun hurriedly shouted, "Don't go near the cliff! Don't go anywhere near the cliff!"
Almost the instant he finished speaking, Zhao Ziyun's body trembled violently.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ziyun's face turned deathly pale, a sight that tugged at the heartstrings.
A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his lips, and blood also flowed from his eyes.
Yunmo's expression changed slightly; Zhao Ziyun was bleeding from all seven orifices...
"I'm fine. Remember, you must protect Xiao Su Bao. She can't die..."
Zhao Ziyun's face turned pale. He finally remembered what the little girl had said in his first dream all those years ago!
She had nothing left to worry about, so she was unafraid of death!
Thinking of her resolute appearance at the end, Zhao Ziyun felt as if a stone was stuck in his chest.
This was her last chance, and Zhao Ziyun didn't want her to fail.
Zhao Ziyun leaned his back tightly against the big tree, panting heavily. It took him a long time to feel much better.
"Yunmo, sometimes, I'm really envious!"
Zhao Ziyun looked at Yun Mo with a pitiful expression, and after speaking, shook his head again.
He remembered his mother saying when she left him, "When you like someone, sometimes it's good to let them go!"
Since I can't have her, I'll let her live the life she wants.
"Okay, to be honest, the grapes you picked are sour and astringent, they're really awful!"
Zhao Ziyun smiled, grinning, and wiped away the bloodstains.
Yunmo paused, then didn't know what to say.
Do you still want it?
After a long silence, and confirming that Zhao Ziyun had recovered somewhat, Yunmo finally asked a question.
Yunmo is very handsome, with deep eyes that convey an indescribable emotion.
Zhao Ziyun sighed as he looked at Yunmo in this state.
"want!"
The two of them didn't say anything more and went straight into the vineyard.
They planted this vineyard three years ago, and now a large portion of it has survived.
The purplish-red grapes are very appealing.
Zhao Ziyun picked one, but found it very sour.
These were planted by Su Bao for Yun Mo because Yun Mo likes to eat grapes.
She must really like Yunmo, perhaps without even realizing it herself.
Zhao Ziyun thought for a moment, then reached out and picked a green grape.
The sudden sour taste sent a chill down his spine.
"It tastes awful!"
He muttered to himself, but still ate all the grapes.
I'll eat it myself, as if she grew it for me!
Thinking of this, Zhao Ziyun's smile widened considerably.
Yunmo didn't think much of it and picked a large basket of grapes.
"These are the first ones to turn red. If that's not enough, we'll come back in a while!"
Zhao Ziyun glanced at Yun Mo, then at the grapes, and said, "Alright!"
When the two walked over, they saw that Xiao Su Bao and Zhao San Pao were chatting happily.
Zhao Sanpao even showed off his big knife skills in front of Xiao Subao, looking quite imposing.
Zhao Ziyun...
That brat really went too far.
He shook his head slightly, but his eyes held a deep, unfathomable light.
"Alright, the goods have been delivered. I just happened to be passing by to check on the new grain harvest. Come on, let's go together..."
As Zhao Ziyi spoke, she casually grabbed Zhao Sanpao and carried him away.
Xiao Su Bao and Yun Mo also came along.
The group walked around the village for quite some time.
Zhao Ziyun's eyes also showed surprise.
If all the people in the Great Shang Kingdom could grow the new grains, then they would no longer go hungry!
This is fantastic news!
Just then, a huge figure came running towards them from a distance, looking rather panicked.
Zhao Ziyun instinctively shielded Xiao Su Bao, and the moment those big guys got close, they stopped abruptly.
