Mingzhu will never forget this day, when the person she had been thinking about day and night for years rode a tall horse through the center of the capital.
Behind her were her female attendants and several children, also dressed in armor on horseback.
Mingzhu thought to herself, "She must have looked like this when she was little."
The Great Yan and the Great An made peace. Mingzhu was supposed to go to the Great Yan to meet Huo Xiaolong, but Long'er didn't let her come.
“Brother Tingche, I have to go to Da’an myself. I’ve been in the palace for too long and I’m feeling restless.”
The woman leaned on Lan Tingche's shoulder, playing with her daughter's pearl in her hand, and said to her beloved.
"My pearl, give it back to me, Mother."
Little Mingzhu was lying on the ground playing, watching her mother toss Dongzhu around. She was worried, "What if I fall and get hurt?"
You probably can't find a pearl this big anywhere else in the world.
"Don't be stingy. I'm your mother. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine."
Mingzhu's mind went blank for a while, and she felt that her own mother was fooling her.
Lan Tingche reached out and took the pearl from Long'er's hand, handing it to the child. You can't just fool a child like that; Huo Qitian treasures her pearl the most.
"You're not just feeling restless from staying in the palace too long, you just want to go out and fight, right?"
The man's hair cascaded down his dark blue silk robe, tied with a headband. He casually gathered his hair, and his handsome features were silhouetted against the light, with even the shadows of his eyelashes clearly visible.
Seeing this, Huo Xiaolong swallowed hard and shouted outside:
"Little Grass, take Qi Tian away."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Huo Qitian carried the pearl away while Xiao Cao was still lying on the ground, Long'er's body went limp and she lay directly in Lan Tingche's arms.
She reached out and touched his Adam's apple, a sly smile on her face.
Lan Tingche grasped her wicked hand and continued:
"You want to go fight the Tatars?"
"OK."
Huo Xiaolong replied almost casually, "This scenery is just too beautiful. I have good taste. Brother Tingche is really something. She can cherish it for a lifetime."
"What about the matter of the Great Yan? I'm definitely going with you. Don't expect me to stay home and review your memorials, lest the court officials say that I'm a relative of the empress dowager in power."
Lan Tingche understood Long'er; he said he wanted to fight, but he mainly wanted to avoid reviewing memorials.
My daughter is only a few years old. Now, after school every day, she practices martial arts. After practicing, she can't play in the evening. She sits on a small stool in her mother's study and reads memorials to her. It makes Grandpa Wang and the others feel sorry for her.
Grandpa Wang said so.
“Long’er, Grandpa will read it to you. Qi Tian is still young. Look, all the children in our palace are running around like crazy at night. How could she not be envious?”
Huo Xiaolong thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. Children need to have a happy childhood, so he readily reduced Huo Qitian's academic classes and used the time to read memorials to her and go out with friends in the evenings.
You can't let others suffer; you mustn't let yourself suffer.
Anyway, the child is naturally intelligent, right?
This incident infuriated Huo Panli, and the Grand Tutor immediately went to complain to the two Empress Dowagers.
Cen Ang tried every means to exonerate his daughter.
"Sister, Long'er is a bit lazy, but she did the right thing. Qi Tian will inherit the throne in the future, so it's better to read the memorials sooner and accept them sooner, right?"
He Yi was so angry she laughed. She replied:
"Sister, what kind of child can read official documents at such a young age? She's having Qi Tian read them to her now, and in less than two years, she'll be having Qi Tian approve them."
Cen Ang knew, of course, that what He Yi said was true, and he watched as He Yi took the feather duster and went away.
Rarely, Huo Xiaolong was beaten again inside the palace. She was a mother, and yet she was still being beaten.
“Then we will leave Qi Tian and Li Jian behind. Li Jian is the Grand Tutor and should assist the Crown Princess in reviewing memorials.”
"..."
“Take Qi Tian with you, Long’er. She’s still your own daughter.”
Lan Tingche leaned down and pleaded in the woman's ear.
Huo Xiaolong felt completely dazed. She wouldn't agree to even ten things, let alone just one. All she wanted to do right now was hold the beauty and sleep.
"Your Majesty, it is getting late. I will help you to rest."
Lan Tingche's voice was deep, which made Long'er even more agitated.
She admitted that she was a huge pervert, so what?
Seriously, that's just too much.
The next day, Huo Panlijian unusually agreed to the news, after all, the memorial the Tatars submitted to Da'an meant that they wanted to attack Da Yan.
Will a sharp sword allow him to be indulged?
They directly sent the three sisters from the red-light district to Da'an to negotiate peace.
Hearing that Qi Tian was going to Da'an with Long'er, the children in the palace couldn't sit still anymore.
They came together and begged their aunt to take them there.
Mantuo Ruyi and Liuxu didn't want to. The child was still young, and what if he saw blood or something on the way? Besides, they were going to take care of important business. If they caused trouble for Long'er, it would be a loss.
But they couldn't go; they had to go. Knowing that trying to get help from their own mother was useless, they all went to find Huo Xiaolong.
"Auntie, please, I really want to go," Liu Buhui pleaded, lifting her chubby little face.
"Yes, Auntie, we've never traveled far from home since we were little."
Siman started talking non-stop, leaving Huo Xiaolong speechless for a while. He had tried to hold back, but he couldn't help himself.
“Siman, you’ve traveled from the border town to Jiangnan to the capital, which is already quite far, not to mention that you also visit your grandparents’ house from time to time.”
This child has seen more of the world than many other children.
"But I've never been to Da'an, Auntie, please."
