Chapter 399 Letter
Sister Xin had a conversation with her mother and handed her Brother Zhuo's letter. Knowing that she was thinking about it, she quietly withdrew.
Huilan sat in the pavilion made of bamboo, unfolded her son's letter, and read slowly, tears falling drop by drop.
Mother, the words are like "no".
My son was slightly injured some time ago, but it doesn't matter. But I saw my mother in my dream. I saw my mother crying and I was very worried about you.
Don't worry about your son. He only suffered a few injuries to his arms and legs. It doesn't matter. Your medicine is very good and it will be effective immediately after he takes it.
By the time you read this letter, I will be well. My son is very happy here. He is showing off his talents. The sky is high and the clouds are vast. Don’t be sad, mother. I am the second son of Dayong Dynasty. I am born with supernatural powers. It is fitting that I should be Dayong.
Do your best for the people.
You and my father have always taught me that as a human being, we must be grateful, earn our salary, petition for the people, and relieve the people's worries. It is our responsibility.
You may have to go back to report on your work at the end of the year, and I will celebrate the New Year with you then. Mother and queen, don’t worry about your son. Everything is fine with your son. He will kowtow to his father, the emperor, and his mother.
The letter was not long, and what it said was all good things and nothing bad. But she knew how everything on the battlefield could be good things.
He folded the letter carefully and put it in his sleeve pocket for collection. He raised his head and sighed, and gently wiped the tears from his eyes.
As long as my son is still alive and kicking around, that's great.
"Go get pen and ink, I want to write the scriptures."
"It's already afternoon. Why are you writing Taoist scriptures? Stop writing."
A clear voice sounded from outside the pavilion, and a tall, azure figure walked quickly towards here.
Li Chengze strode into the pavilion, held her hand and sat down, "Why are you crying again? Brother Zhuo was indeed injured a little. I didn't dare to tell you for fear of worrying you. He's fine now."
"Okay, don't hide it from me next time. Do you think I won't know if you hide it from me? It's really..."
Huilan complained to him, but her eyes were full of attachment.
"Okay, I will tell you next time, but you are not allowed to cry."
"I didn't cry, I just felt sorry for my son's injury. I've cried many times. I'm not asking for some weak girl, I'm just worried about my son."
Huilan refused to admit that she was crying.
Li Chengze laughed out loud, with a playful look in his eyes, "Then why do my eyes turn red when I look at you."
"No, the wind blew and the sand narrowed its eyes."
Huilan punched him several times to vent her hatred.
"Okay, if I don't talk about you, I'm really covering my ears."
"Didn't you say you would come in a few days? Why did you come here so quickly? Have you finished all the matters?"
"It's almost done. My son is very capable and has done everything for me neatly and thoroughly. I will come to see you earlier. Brother Qian is also worried that you are worried about Brother Zhuo's unhappiness, so he asked me to come over earlier to accompany you."
Li Chengze poured her a cup of tea.
Huilan sighed softly, "It's okay, I just miss my son."
"How about I play you a piece of music? I haven't played the piano in a long time."
Li Chengze suddenly wanted to play a song to relieve her worries. There were many things that others could not do, and a mother's longing for her son could not be replaced by anything.
"Okay, it's so rare. Go get the piano, and get my flute too."
Huilan was interrupted by Li Chengze and became interested, not wanting to refute his good intentions.
Her son, daughter, and husband were all worried about her, so Baba came to accompany her. She couldn't keep a sad face and make them worry. She simply knew that Brother Zhuo was fine, and she felt more at ease.
After a while, the eunuch brought the piano over, and Huilan personally lit a pot of plum blossom incense.
Li Chengze sat down to play the piano, and Huilan slowly played the flute and played a song with him.
An ensemble of light piano and flute, the music is majestic and majestic, but also has a touch of lingering tacit understanding. The lingering sound lingers in the heart, making people immersed in it. It is extremely beautiful.
Wang Rui watched from a distance, his eyes full of envy.
"I didn't expect that the Emperor and the Queen would be so loving. It's so enviable."
Sister Xin stood aside and looked at her parents, looking at each other with a look full of tacit understanding and affection. She said with regret: "As long as I can remember, my mother's eyes have always been for my father. No matter how hard it is, she will always be there."
He never retreated and moved forward firmly and bravely.
The queen mother said that she just likes my father. No matter who is next to him, she can snatch him away and live in his heart forever. If I like him, he will be mine."
Wang Rui smiled, "It's hard for me to imagine that this is what the Empress said. In my mind, the Empress is always a gentle, graceful and beautiful woman."
Sister Xin sneered, "My mother is a fierce woman, she has always been, so we siblings have never been cowards and cowards. We are all very difficult to deal with. In fact, our children have inherited the inheritance from our mother.
My temperament, especially my younger brother Lian, is the most like my mother."
"That's true. Brother Lian has a smile on his face every day, but in fact he is a loner and difficult to deal with. It can be seen from the look in his eyes that even the slave dare not let go."
Wang Rui also smiled, and he could see the whole picture at a glance. The fact that Brother Lian's slaves were particularly obedient and clever could explain some problems. Besides, Brother Lian was not yet an adult, and he was still a half-grown child.
After the song ended, Huilan felt much relieved and smiled at Li Chengze. The tacit understanding between the husband and wife was evident.
Li Chengze put down the piano and stood up, holding Huilan's hand, and they went for a walk around together.
"When I retire, how about I live in the farm? I'll stay there for two or three years and then we'll leave after Brother Gan has completely grasped the overall situation."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, then where do you want to go?"
Huilan smiled and asked casually.
"Go to the south and have a look. I still want to take you on a good tour of Yangzhou. I always feel very sorry."
Li Chengze took her hand and walked forward slowly.
"Okay, I quite like Yangzhou, it's very lively."
"I want to go down the road you went on that trip. I missed you so much when you left. It was also at that time that I figured out a lot of things."
Li Chengze smiled tenderly at her, with a look of attachment and charm in his starry eyes.
Huilan tilted her head, smiled proudly and rolled her eyes, "Really, it turns out that you couldn't leave me at that time. I am very satisfied."
She shook her head, her eyes dangled, and her mouth curled up happily.
Li Chengze stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, "I have no conscience. I haven't thought about you or taken you to heart for a long time. I have treated you with care for almost twenty years."
Huilan raised her chin with a look of arrogance, "If you don't care, why should I care? I also like you and have liked you for almost twenty years. I'm still waiting for you to take me to play."
"Okay, I'm waiting for a few years. It's almost time. I will abdicate when Brother Qiang can take charge of his own business. I will not break my promise. I am not attached to this position. I have fulfilled all the obligations and responsibilities that I can do, and I am worthy of my ancestors.
Already."
It doesn't matter how many years you have been an emperor, but how much merit you have done while in office and how much blessing you have brought to the people.
There is no doubt that Li Chengze was a wise emperor. When he succeeded, the treasury was empty, the border was besieged on all sides, and the people's lives were worrying due to successive disasters. However, in the past two decades, he worked hard to govern, and the treasury became abundant. He reduced taxes and credits for several years in a row, allowing the people to rest and recuperate, and the situation on the border has also improved a lot.
