Wish to meet a good person
"My dear lady, the embroidery here doesn't seem to be very good."
Qing Ning, who was standing aside in the room, raised her hand and pointed at the eggplant bag that Fu Yao was embroidering.
"Yeah, my eyes hurt."
Fu Yao put down the work in her hands as she spoke. As she couldn't go out, she had recently started embroidering eggplant bags to pass the time.
"The eldest lady asked the young lady to go to the hall."
Qingyi stood outside the house and said slowly.
Fuyao stood up and walked out.
As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Shao Hansu sitting on one side.
"Brother Shao is back."
A smile appeared on her slightly pale cheeks.
"I've been gone for about two months now."
"Well, I heard you were injured, so I came to see you."
Shao Hansu stood up and walked towards her.
Fuyao smiled and shrugged.
"It's all right now!"
In fact, before she came in, Shao Hansu had already learned the situation from Madam Tong.
Mrs. Tong only said that it was a robbery and didn't say anything else.
As the climate changes, the weather is getting hotter.
Because he hadn't been out for a long time and Shao Hansu was with him today, Madam Tong agreed to Fuyao's request to go out with him.
But she asked Qing Ning to follow along.
Although Qingning's martial arts skills are not as good as Fuyao's, they grew up together, and Qingning also learned some from Uncle Yu.
It can also play a certain role at critical moments.
Although Madam Tong did not want Fuyao to have much contact with government officials, she also did not want to interfere too much with her freedom to make friends.
The three of them were strolling on the street. Shao Hansu saw a man selling candied haws and bought two strings for Fuyao and Qingning.
While eating, Fuyao suddenly remembered the day when she and Shen Lingze met Feng Chenyu while eating candied haws on the street. Her originally bright eyes suddenly became dim.
Noticing the change in her eyes, Shao Hansu thought she was just bored and told her what happened after he went to Yu'an.
He first talked about how Feng Chenyu opened a gap through Liang Ye, and then pressed Xu Renfeng and the monk to speak step by step.
Seeing that several people had confessed honestly, even the toughest Liu Qizhong had to confess his superior.
Ji Ji, the Minister of Justice, colluded with them to smuggle arms and attempted rebellion.
In the end, Liang Ye was spared from death because of his meritorious reporting.
His property was confiscated and he was exiled to Lingnan.
The rest were all beheaded.
“I originally thought Feng Chenyu was just a playboy.
I didn't expect him to be so brave and resourceful, yet also be righteous and moral. He's a rare gentleman."
Shao Hansu's long speech is rare, and his admiration is beyond words.
While eating candied haws and listening to everything about Feng Chenyu, Fuyao didn't know what her mouth tasted like.
But when I heard that he had solved all the problems, I couldn't help but feel happy for him.
"I have one more thing to tell you."
Shao Hansu ended his long talk, and Fuyao turned her head and looked at him with questioning eyes.
"I will be transferred to Yu'an to serve as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."
“Oh, congratulations, that’s a promotion.
It seems that you have also made great contributions in this matter."
Fuyao's smile is as beautiful as a flower.
All good things must come to an end. Looking at Shao Hansu riding his horse towards Yu'an, Fuyao couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
She suddenly began to miss the old days, when Xian Ning, Chen Lingze, Shao Hansu, Cao Cang and others used to eat and play together from time to time.
Those were such carefree days.
I heard that County Magistrate Cao had been officially promoted to prefect, and Cao Cang had also taken up a certain position.
All this began to change gradually after Feng Chenyu came.
Thinking of this, her eyes turned red again.
Mrs. Tong's health has been getting worse these days. She has seen many doctors but none of them can provide any better solution.
Fuyao would sit quietly with her every day, and occasionally chat with her when she was in a good mood.
Fuyao had a simple breakfast early in the morning and went to her room.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Mrs. Tong had gotten out of bed and was sitting at the table, drinking the white porridge cooked by Qingyi with a spoon.
Fuyao couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that her mother was feeling better.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Mrs. Tong looked up and asked.
"Yeah, I'm full."
Fuyao chuckled.
"Let's sit in the yard."
After saying that, Madam Tong stood up and, supported by Fuyao, walked towards the chair in the yard.
After Fuyao sat down, she smiled and said,
"You've passed the age of 15, do you have someone you like?"
Fuyao leaned coquettishly into her arms.
"I won't marry. I want to stay with my mother forever."
Madam Tong raised her hand and caressed her forehead lovingly.
"There's no reason to stay single for a lifetime."
It can be seen that Shen Lingze is just a brother to Fuyao.
Mrs. Tong originally thought that the person she liked might be Shao Hansu, but later she gradually felt that something seemed to be missing between them.
In addition, Shao Hansu has been transferred to Yu'an, so there is probably no possibility between them.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.
"The thing I regret least in my life is marrying your father."
She whispered,
"Although he and I were not married for long, he always showed me respect and love during the time we were together.
So, my dear mother, I hope you can find someone who will love you, miss you, and protect you for the rest of your life."
"Don't worry, mother. Even if no such person appears, I will take good care of myself."
Fuyao poked his head out from her arms.
Looking at her innocent and lovely appearance, Madam Tong couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
She breathed softly.
"Your father, Shangguan Qi, once shared life and death with the current emperor and General Fengyin."
Slowly, she told the story of her husband and Fuyao's life experience.
"So, this jade hairpin on your head was given to you by your biological mother, Princess Xisa of Ningbei Kingdom."
At the end of her speech, Madam Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Yao, who was sitting beside her, couldn't believe her ears. She stared blankly at the person who raised her.
Gradually, tears welled up in her eyes. She stood up and hugged Madam Tong in her arms, and said with trembling lips,
"You will always be my beloved mother."
As the sun set, Uncle Yu and Second Aunt hurried back to the house.
The reason they were in such a hurry was that they were called back.
Mrs. Tong, who had seemed to be in better spirits in the morning, was now exhausted.
Perhaps she heard the noise, and she slowly opened her eyes on the bed.
"Madam."
The two people who came back called softly by the bed.
"Uncle Yu, you've worked hard for half your life."
She spoke with some difficulty.
"It's not hard, it's not hard."
Uncle Yu lowered his head and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
"You, you worked hard for Fuyao and for us in the first half of your life.
In the rest of your life, I hope you can live for yourself."
As she spoke, Madam Tong stretched out her hand with great effort and placed Madam Xu's hand in her palm.
"I know you two are interested in each other, and I wish you a long and happy life together."
Then she looked at Madam Xu,
"From now on, the store and this home will be left to you and Uncle Yu to manage. Raise Qi'er well."
At this time, Madam Xu was already crying uncontrollably.
Finally, Madam Tong turned her head and looked at Fuyao who was hugging her and crying silently at the head of the bed.
"May my son find a good man and live a life of freedom and peace."
After saying this, he closed his eyes forever.
Afterwards, there was crying in the house.
In the dim bedroom, Fuyao, who fell ill again due to the death of Madam Tong, looked pale and bloodless.
These days, the courtyard is filled with sadness because a funeral had just taken place.
She held the letter left for her by Madam Tong in her hand, and her tears wet her clothes again.
The general meaning of the letter was that if there was a chance, she hoped Fuyao could meet her biological mother.
After all, the separation back then was a helpless move.
It is not certain whether Princess Caesar is still alive.
If she had the chance to meet her, she hoped Fuyao could thank Princess Caesar in person on her behalf.
I am grateful to her for giving me support and the courage to live.
The night in Ganzhou was gorgeous and sad, and Fuyao made a decision.
Mrs. Xu, who had just put on her clothes early in the morning, saw Qing Ning running towards her in a panic.
"Madam, my young lady is missing, and I found this letter on her desk."
As she spoke, she handed over the letter in her hand.
Madam Xu hurriedly took the letter:
Second Aunt, Uncle Yu, thank you for your hard work.
Fuyao decided to go to Ningbei.
Instead of waiting passively, I might as well take the initiative and see who wants to hurt me and take the jade hairpin.
At the same time, I also want to meet Princess Caesar.
If I have the chance in my lifetime, Fuyao will definitely come back to meet you two, don't worry.
In addition, there are some coins in the box in my room that can be used as Qingning's dowry.
Please help her find a good family.
Thank you for your hard work. Fuyao thanks you again!
I hope you both take care of your health.
"What should I do?"
Mrs. Xu exclaimed loudly.
Hearing the sound, Uncle Yu hurried in, and she told him that Fuyao had left.
Uncle Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment.
“Since the young lady wants to go, let her go.
Someone will protect her along the way, so don't worry too much."
"Is there anyone protecting her?"
Mrs. Xu was puzzled.
So, Uncle Yu told her that Feng Chenyu had sent someone.
After bidding farewell to the prince, Feng Chenyu was invited to the inner hall by Han Qing as soon as he left the East Palace.
At this time, His Majesty was standing inside the palace gate, looking at the map on the wall, and standing next to him was Sun Qian, the Minister of War.
"Someone wrote to the court, saying that Ningbei soldiers have been harassing the border and even stealing property, causing unrest among the people living nearby.
I wonder what Minister Sun thinks of this?"
The official spoke.
Sun Qian raised his head and replied respectfully,
"Currently, Xindong has been repeatedly provoking trouble on our border. Although General Ningguo is stationed at the front, war is likely to break out at any moment.
If Ningbei causes trouble with us again, it may not end well.
I suggest sending people to Ningbei for peace talks."
"Chen Yu, what do you think about this matter?"
After a brief silence in the inner hall, the official turned to look at Feng Chenyu.
He raised his hand in greeting and said,
"Previous years of war have brought endless suffering to the people. It is indeed not appropriate to engage in a bilateral war at this time."
Then he pointed to the map and said,
"Ningbei is adjacent to Yongxi on the left and Xindong on the right, so the lower part is ours.
It can be said that he is surrounded from many sides, so even if he should be anxious, it is Ning Bei who is anxious.
It is unlikely that Yongxi and Xindong will always live in peace with them. If they offend us again, we will be attacked from both sides.
Therefore, cooperating with us and speaking to the outside world in a unified way is their only option."
"Well said."
The official in a light yellow robe stepped forward and patted Feng Chenyu on the shoulder, then he turned around and sat back on the throne.
"I appoint Sun Qian as the chief envoy and Feng Chenyu as the deputy envoy. They will depart for Ningbei for negotiations in two days."
"I obey your order."
Sun Qian and Feng Chenyu hurriedly bowed.
A middle-aged man in court robes slowly walked into the Mu Ning Palace. This man was none other than Empress Fan’s brother, Fan Zhong, the current Zuo Pushe.
"saint."
He bowed.
"The emperor seems to be very fond of the second son of the Feng family recently."
The woman who was called a saint was Empress Fan, the biological mother of the Eastern Palace.
Fan Zhong stood up straight and walked towards the chair beside him.
“That’s true.”
Queen Fan said dissatisfiedly,
"Since Feng Yin became the general, he has made great military achievements and has taken control of the military power in the court.
Later, Feng Yu was conferred the title of imperial concubine and became the exclusive favorite of the emperor.
Even Feng Chenlang was appointed as General Ningguo and stationed in the fortress.
Fortunately, Feng Yu gave birth to a daughter. If it was a son, he would have been riding on Cang Yuan's head."
"Your Highness, don't worry. Feng Chenyu grew up with His Highness, so they must have a very good relationship."
Fan Zhong replied calmly.
