Chapter 336 Grandfather and Grandmother's Fairy Love

Xia Miaoyuan was immediately excited when she heard the second prince's letter: "Mother, has my second brother written to me?"

In the two years since the second prince went to the northern border, he would write letters every month.

Sometimes, when the war was tense, he would send letters every two or three months.

Every time he received a letter, the second prince would write a letter to Emperor Mingxi, the empress, the prince, and Xia Miaoyuan.

Although Xia Miaoyuan was just a little kid, the second prince did not treat her differently and would even draw some pictures on the letters to her.

In the past two years, Xia Miaoyuan has accumulated a thick stack of letters.

The queen smiled and scratched Xia Miaoyuan's nose: "Of course there has been. Have you ever seen a time when your second brother didn't write to you?"

Hearing the letter from the second prince, Kezun also calmed down from his sad mood, and asked in a soft voice: "Are Chengnian and the others about to return to the court?"

Xiao Licheng smiled slightly: "They should be soon. In the last letter, he said that he would wipe out the remnants of several tribes, and then help his grandfather settle the people of those tribes."

"After you finish all this and ensure that the situation in the northern border is stable, then return to the court."

"Counting it, it has been several months. These should all be done."

The queen was thinking about the second prince's letter, and she couldn't sit still any longer, so she said directly: "Let's go back to the palace first and see what Chengnian wrote in the letter!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go back right away." Xia Miaoyuan shouted happily.

...

In Kunning Palace, the Queen, Xia Miaoyuan, Kezun and others opened the letter from the Second Prince.

Xia Miaoyuan was the first to open the letter from the Second Prince to her.

In the envelope, there were two pieces of one-foot square drawing paper, on which was drawn a young general in armor, holding a sword and standing on a horse, on an endless grassland.

In the distance, there was a little girl with a round face and big eyes.

[My second brother drew a picture for me again. Oh, he said that he missed me so much.]

On another piece of drawing paper, there were several snacks from the northern border, and a picture of a young general eating snacks with relish.

[Ah, it seems that my second brother is living a very comfortable life now. He can even eat snacks leisurely. 】

Xia Miaoyuan looked down and saw that the lower half of the painting showed a young general packing some snacks and handing them to the messenger, who rode away with the snacks and letters.

【Wow! My second brother even brought me some snacks! 】

【As expected of my good second brother! 】

Xia Miaoyuan felt sweet when she saw this, as if she was filled with honey.

There was also a piece of letter paper in the envelope, with two lines of words written on it: My second brother misses Miaoer very much every day, and I wish Miaoer all the best.

Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but complain in his heart, 【When I first went to war, I was still young and illiterate, so he drew pictures for me every time. 】

【But now I have entered the main hall, and the teacher has taught me a lot of words. 】

【Really, he still treats me like a baby. 】

【Really, when my second brother comes back, I have to have a good talk with him. 】

【He can't always treat me like a baby. 】

At this time, the queen had already glanced over the letter in her hand.

Kezun, who was standing aside, asked anxiously: "What did Chengnian say?"

The queen smiled slightly and said: "Chengnian said that they will return to the court soon."

"When he wrote the letter, he was already preparing to return to the court. When we read the letter, they should be on the way."

Kezun was overjoyed: "That's great!"

"Most troops move slowly. It will take about half a month for them to arrive."

At this point, Kezun paused, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated.

The queen smiled slyly: "Mother, do you want to ask if father will come to the capital together?"

After hearing this, Kezun actually lowered his head for a moment, as if he was a little embarrassed: "Ruoyu, you are already a grandmother, and you still speak so frivolously."

[Hahaha! It seems that my grandmother misses my grandfather. ] Xia Miaoyuan covered her mouth and laughed secretly in her heart.

[I think the love between my grandmother and grandfather is also a good story. ]

[I remember a few sentences mentioned in the book, saying that when my grandfather was young, as a prince of the tribe, he met a beautiful woman from the Central Plains. ]

[That is my grandmother. ]

[The two fell in love at first sight and fell in love. But the Xiaolin tribe did not allow princes to marry women from the Central Plains, especially since my grandfather was the eldest son and his father intended to let him succeed to the throne. 】

【My grandfather insisted on marrying my grandmother, even at the cost of giving up his future position as Khan. It was a mess and very embarrassing. 】

【Finally, his father was reluctant to give up such a capable successor, so he agreed to their marriage. 】

【Later, the two of them loved each other for decades and gave birth to seven children in succession. 】

【For my grandmother, my grandfather spent a lot of energy and specially introduced some crops from the Central Plains and tried to grow them on the grassland, just so that my grandmother could eat them more accustomed to them. 】 【

My grandmother also slowly taught my grandfather a lot of the culture of the Central Plains. 】

【The seven children they gave birth to grew up reading books from the Central Plains. 】

【Therefore, the Xiaolin tribe is the tribe with the most benevolent leader and the most civilized people in the entire northern border. 】

"Grandma, actually Miao'er also wants to see grandpa!" Xia Miaoyuan said this deliberately.

"Mother, will grandpa go back to the capital with the second brother and the others this time?" Xia Miaoyuan turned her head and looked at the empress.

The empress couldn't help but smile: "Yes!"

"Great, great! I can see grandpa soon!" Xia Miaoyuan jumped up excitedly.

Kezun was also very happy to hear this: "Your father is really going back to the capital with you!"

The empress explained in a gentle voice: "Originally, the Northern Frontier has just been unified, and there are still many restless people. Father should have stayed in the Northern Frontier to take charge."

"However, for the sake of the overall situation and the Xiao family, father has decided to temporarily hand over the political affairs of the Northern Frontier to my eldest brother, and return to Beijing with the army to show the Xiao family's loyalty to Daxia."

After listening to this, Xia Miaoyuan nodded in approval, [Grandfather is very thoughtful! ]

[Although Xiao Lin's tribe has been a vassal of Daxia for the past 20 years, after all, things are different now. ]

[Now that the Xiao family has become the king of the Northern Frontier, their power has increased by more than ten times. If they immediately turn their faces and attack Daxia, Daxia will be dumbfounded. ] [

Although my father trusts the Xiao family, it is hard to say about the ministers in the court. 】

【This time, my grandfather simply followed the army back to Beijing, lowering his own attitude, like the generals of Daxia, returning to Beijing to report to the emperor. 】
