Chapter IX Northern Xinjiang Victory
"Go and notify Aunt Zhao and the others, and then pack up and return to Beijing immediately." The eldest princess did not feel any emotion about the victory of General Su.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Ling Yue smiled bitterly. Her mother and her brother were hiding something from her. If she didn't say anything, it didn't mean she couldn't see anything.
"It's nothing, I'm afraid that Yue'er, you won't have fun." Ling Jue did not say what he was talking about with Pingyang Hou, because he was afraid that Yue'er would only add to his worries. He gently rubbed Ling Yue's top, and the soft touch seemed to suppress the irritability in his heart a lot.
Ling Yue knew she couldn't ask anything. If a person was determined to hide something, it would be useless even if she hinted indirectly. My mother was like this, even if she had always treated her brother gently.
Liu Qingshan stood at the dock to see everyone in Pingyang Houhou Mansion, but the prefect still refused to come on the pretext of being obsessed with official duties. The eldest princess didn't care about these things, or she didn't want to see these local officials at the beginning. The prefect still felt at ease and did not come, but the rest were in panic all day long, and the great opportunity she got slipped away.
Strangely, on the day of farewell, Liu Qingshan became much quieter. Apart from the rules and deeds, he never said anything. He put his hands in his cuffs, staring at the ground blankly, hoping to stare at a few holes on it.
Everyone who worked with them was puzzled, but they didn't care. Ling Yue sent Zhiqiu and Xia Sang around her and walked towards Liu Qingshan. Ling Jue grabbed her sister: "Drive the boat soon, don't walk around."
The eldest princess raised her lips: "Let her go, Jue'er, don't worry too much." As a mother, she would be too incompetent if she was still kept in the dark. As her daughter grew up, she knew how to think and be responsible for what she said and did, it was a good thing.
"Miss Yue?" The scene of being slapped by this little girl lingers in Liu Qingshan's mind. What is even more embarrassing than the hot mark on her face is that as a parent, when did he do such a half-dozen business? It's so shameless, it's so shameless.
"Mr. Liu!" Ling Yue had already come closer, "I apologize to you for my own behavior."
"No, it's the fault of the subordinate." Liu Qingshan buried his head lower, feeling that his colleague's eyes were as unbearable as needles.
Ling Yue pinched her fingers with her fingernails, and then said, "You are an elder, I act too much, you don't have to excuse me." After saying this, Ling Yue took a deep breath: "But I won't take back my words. What should I do, that's your business. I just hope you can focus more on some practical things in the future. Promotion may be just around the corner." It's just maybe...
Seeing the pleasure boat moving far away on the river, until it turned into the small black dot that was incompatible with the water and sky, Liu Qingshan smiled bitterly. It was so good to have the most passionate effort in the world. It was a surging red blood that had never dried up, nor was it polluted. Everything in the world would have always been clearly distinguished by black and white.
The girl who ran in all the way and rolled up the spring breeze into the house had a bright smile on her face: "Dad, when will the Old General Su enter Beijing?" Ling Yue also forgot to salute, picked up Pingyang Hou's arm and shook it.
Along the way, she finally found the memory of General Su from the corner of her brain. It turned out that General Su had known about him from her mother before.
The Su family was domineering on the battlefield, and the northerners have always been brave and good at fighting and have a strong physique. Even so, under the leadership of this old general Su, the Su family still seized most of the rivers and mountains from the other party. They can be called the guardian saint of Tiansheng.
With them guarding the northern border, the situation there is much more stable than the current weak southerner Yihuang. Shortly after the emperor's cousin ascended the throne, it is not unreasonable to have such an old minister to assist.
The Marquis of Pingyang had no choice but to shake his head: "Yue'er, it's not that my father said to you, you are a big girl after all, why are you still so vigorous in your work? It's not a decent way."
When the eldest princess mentioned her daughter, she started talking too much: "Okay, you don't know her, you're just a nest. When you go out, you'll be more obedient than anyone else."
Ling Yao strode forward and bowed to salute: "Yao'er has seen her father. If nothing happens, Yao'er and her mother will take their leave first." The scene of the eldest princess' family making her feel unpleasant when she sees her.
Hou Pingyang waved his hand: "Go down."
Aunt Zhao stood there unwillingly, thinking that there was a few words to interject. Ling Yao was even more annoyed when she saw her appearance. She directly pulled Aunt Zhao's arm and walked out.
A sentence came from the outside: "The Marquis must come to the concubine's room another day, and the concubine must prepare tea."
Pingyang Hou secretly glanced at the expression of the eldest princess, and saw that she was no different, then answered Ling Yue's question: "The journey you returned was smooth, why did you delay these days?"
Ling Jue replied to her sister: "Thinking of the seasickness of my aunt, Jue'er specifically asked the boatman to slow down." She dared to hit Yue'er that day, and today she asked you to take the blame. I just regret that she was not even a moment later when she came back.
Pingyang Hou said to himself: "I saw her full of energy, but I didn't realize that she would get seasick." He was full of energy, and naturally he did not mean his voice, but his attitude towards his servants.
"Dad, don't worry about whether you are seasick. When will General Su come back?" Ling Yue vowed to ask why.
Pingyang Hou stopped talking nonsense: "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be tomorrow. You should do it well tomorrow, so don't embarrass your father and your mother."
Ling Yue's dark eyes rolled, and the opportunity to go out to play was not proposed by her. Dad, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself: "Yes, daughter, I will be amazed tomorrow."
Just as he picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth, he almost choked: "You are the only one who shrank into the corner when you see a stranger. Why do you so disbelief for your father?"
This was nakedly looked down upon. Ling Yue snorted and leaned on the back of the chair to stop talking.
Ling Jue was anxious to speak for his sister: "Father, you didn't see it. Yue'er slapped Lord Liu in public. Lord Liu was so thrust that he didn't even dare to say anything." What Ling Jue said was often added with oil and vinegar. The slap was true, but it was a false public. Moreover, the audience in groups of three or three came uninvited.
The eldest princess covered her lips and chuckled. She was relieved that Jue'er was here. So she took advantage of the father and son's conversation and quietly retreated out.
Mingyue, who was guarding the door, helped the eldest princess' arm: "Why don't the eldest princess stay in the house for a while?"
The eldest princess just smiled and walked slowly towards her room with a Buddhist temple. She had a kind father and a filial son, and a charming daughter. She should pray more in front of the Buddha. This blessing is not easy.
