Chapter 16: Reminiscing by the Pool

Back in the general's mansion, Yan Rong's mood eased a little. A man walked silently into the backyard. Night surrounded the entire courtyard, and the people and Yan Bo were probably already asleep.

Just as Yan Rong was walking quietly, he suddenly heard the slightest cry. I can't help but feel creepy. I think of the stories that my brother used to tell when I was a child.

"Xiaorong, my brother told you that you should never go to the pool in the back at night."

"Why, brother?"

"That place, someone has stumbled and fallen before, and after salvage, only clothes are left, and since that day, there has often been the sound of someone whining and crying in the backyard, so ah, you must not go there because of playfulness!" The elder brother told Xiao Yanrong with a serious face.

Do you want to say Yan Rongxin? She herself clearly knows that she doesn't believe it, she is called a ghost, and she is afraid that the ghost will not succeed? I think what my brother said is just a story arranged by being afraid that he will not pay attention to playing in the water!

Yan Rong felt that he must be tired, and he would also have auditory hallucinations when he was tired before.

But I didn't take two steps, and I heard the cry again, the sound was intermittent, the wind was moving in the night, the whimpering sound was combined with the crying, and it was pitch black, if ordinary people would have been frightened, but Yan Rong did not leave, but walked to the place where the cry came.

Yan Rong stepped on the bluestone road, he had already held the sword in his hand, and he couldn't see the situation around, so he could only use his ears to detect where the sound source was.

As we get closer, the sound becomes clearer.

It can still be vaguely connected into a sentence, a woman's voice, but I don't want a young woman, a little hoarse, but I can hear the cry is extremely sad.

"Who is pretending to be a ghost and scaring others, you can't scare me." Yan Rong finally came to that place, and right next to the pool, there was a dark shadow, crying all the time. Probably crying sadly, he didn't notice that Yan Rong was coming from behind him.

"Ahh The black shadow shouted when he heard Yan Rong speak, and he was also frightened when he thought about it.

Yan Rong immediately pointed his sword at the black shadow and said, "Who are you, pretending to be a ghost in the courtyard of this general, who sent you?" ”

"General, it's an old slave!"

Isn't this voice Mama Li? Yan Rong thought about it, so he took out the fire fold from his arms, blew it, and Mama Li's face appeared under the firelight, but it was pale and ruthless. I was afraid of being alarmed just now, so I didn't take out the fire fold.

"Why did Mama Li cry alone in the backyard without lighting the lamp? Could it be that the people in the house did not entertain well and made Mama angry? ”

"No, general, it's all the old slave, it's all to blame, it's scared of the general! I thought that everyone in the house was asleep, but I didn't expect to startle the general! ”

"No, I just went back to the house, I heard someone whimpering, if Mama Li doesn't want to tell me, let's go and rest early, it's getting late, and General Ben is not a man with many tongues. Mama rest assured. ”

After saying that, Yan Rong was about to leave, he was not an eventful person, and Mama Li must have her own troubles depending on the situation. It's hard to ask yourself.

"General, no, it's not a big deal, if the general doesn't dislike it, can you promise the old slave one thing?" Mama Li said tremblingly.

"Mama, please?"

"Can you let the old slave hug the general?"

"What?"

"If the general doesn't want to, that's fine."

Yan Rong is still very strange, but since Mama Li said so, it doesn't hurt that she will fulfill her. Yan Rong turned around and hugged Mama Li.

Yan Rong is already strong, and her height is taller than other women, Mama Li can't reach the top of her head, but just pats Yan Rong's back one at a time, Yan Rong understands, just like a mother patting her child's back.

Mama Li was still immersed in it, unwilling to let go for a long time, and her face was just let her hold, motionless. Under the black shroud, it was a woman holding her child, crying silently!

"General, it really makes you laugh."

Mama Li lit the lantern, and the two of them were still sitting by the pool, chatting with the breeze.

"No, if Mama Li has something to say, don't hold it back."

"I didn't choose a palace maid to enter the palace, but because of a chance, I was brought to the palace by the former queen and became the nurse of His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Hmm." Yan Rong quietly listened to Mama Li talk about her past.

"I used to be just an ordinary family, I have a husband who loves me, and my children, and I think that if it weren't for the war, it would be time for my children to marry and start a family."

"More than ten years ago, my husband was conscripted into the army due to the continuous border wars, but I knew that he wanted it, and every man wanted to protect his family and defend the country, but at that time, we had just finished our marriage, and he left and never came back."

"I found out that I was pregnant after he left, but where can we orphans and widows go, I will wait for him to come back, he said, he will come back,"

"On the battlefield, there are no eyes for knives and guns, and even if they can live, there are very few who can return home." Yan Rong said.

"I know, so I live alone with my children, but when the children are less than two years old, they are often bullied by the bullies who often bully my family, and when I am not paying attention, they are stolen, and I will never see my children again."

"What?"

"We were just being bullied, trampled on, life was worse than death, I was looking everywhere in the streets, there was no money, no food. During that time, I wanted to die many times. But I didn't, I feel like they're all waiting for me and can't die. ”

"Later, when I was begging on the street, I met the emperor and the queen mother who were on a private visit with Weifu with a two-year-old little prince, the two-year-old little prince was very much like my child, so I went forward to grab it, I knew it was wishful thinking. It had already been killed on the spot. ”

"But the queen's mother is kind-hearted, not only did she not kill me, but also brought me into the palace and asked me to take care of the little prince, I will never forget what the mother said."

"Hongu sees a light in your eyes."

"I have spent decades in the palace with this light, until now."

"I didn't expect that the war would bring so much damage to ordinary families."

"General, today is my child's birthday, in the past, the old slave lived secretly, but today I happened to be seen by the general, so I said these words."

"Mama is also a poor person.

"Everyone in the world is pathetic, the old slave has come over, general, are you blaming me."

"Where did you start with that?"

"The old slave has always hated the different etiquette of the general, and has been educating the general with the rules, the general must be disgusted in his heart!"

"I know that Mama is for the sake of the royal face, and also so that I will not be punished in the future for not knowing the rules, Mama is a kind-hearted person, and she is also a heroic family."

"Heroes?" Mama Li lifted her tearful face.

"As long as you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, you are heroes."

"General, in fact, the old slave admires you, as a woman, you may not be qualified, but as a general, you are the hero of this great revelation."

"Mama praised it falsely, and her face is just her own strength, and now I only hope that the world will be peaceful, the people will be healthy at dawn, and the family will be reunited."

"Yes, General, definitely."

"It's not early in the morning, hurry up and rest, enter the palace tomorrow, and you still need Mama to dress up her face herself."

"Yes, General."

Vertical day

Today is the day to go to the palace for a banquet, Yan Rong didn't dare to slack off, so he got up early. Mama Li has also come in, after all, she wants to wear palace clothes and makeup for the palace, and these Mama Li are still relatively good.

Yan Rong saw that Mama Li's face had eased, and she was no longer relieved that she was no longer yesterday's pale face, and through yesterday's poolside exchange, Mama Li's tone became soothing when she dressed Yan Rong, and she was not tricky. Let everyone else secretly be surprised.

"General, the old slave is by your side today, as long as you remember the rules that the old slave taught before, you shouldn't make a mistake."

"Understood, Mama, you've said it several times!"

"General, this time is different, in the past, you participated as a general who protects the country, if the etiquette is not careful, the emperor will not blame, but today is the future of Princess Rong, how many pairs of eyes in the harem are staring!"

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

In this way, under Mama Li's instructions, I finally went to the palace. In order to behave generously and decently, Yan Rong even sat in a sedan chair, and Pear Blossom stopped riding.

The emperor had already sent someone to receive him at the gate of the city, and he was led all the way to the royal Liufang Garden. Because the scenery is beautiful, it is like a fairyland, with a hundred flowers blooming and rockeries flowing water. Therefore, the emperor set this place as a place for royal family banquets.

Yan Rong walked all the way, only felt awkwardly tight, this dress was not simpler than the one he tried on at that time, but more complicated. Besides, you have to remember the rules that Mama Li advised..... Propriety. ”

Finally arrived at the place, the place of Liufangyuan is magnificent, not only the space is very large, the seats are also extremely comfortable, not like the court banquet is formal, but it is a beautiful scenery.

It's just that Yan Rong came a little earlier, and except for a few concubines here, there was only Yan Rong. After a few words of greeting, Yan Rong quietly waited for someone to come.

"Yo, who is this!" Just as Yan Rong was bored, he heard a person's shout. Yan Rong raised his head, this person's voice was so unique, crisp and good.

"Prince Rong has arrived, Princess Rong has been waiting here for a long time." Mama Li looked at Nangong Li and said.

"Princess Rong? Called so soon? ”

"Or else? Call you Mrs. General! ”

"General." Mama Li hurriedly stopped it.

"I thought Mama Li taught you very well, but I didn't expect it to be like that, embarrassing."

"Nangong Li, my etiquette is used on people."

"You bastard."

Mama Li watched the two of them gradually quarrel, this persuasion is not, it is not persuasion, it is not persuasion, it is a dilemma. Fortunately, the two of them stopped in time. Like two kids. Mama Li shook her head helplessly.

"Do you still like what you're wearing today?" After Nangong Li finished arguing, he suddenly said this.

"I don't like it."

"You ......, this is chosen by this king, if you don't like it, you have to like it."

Yan Rong was suddenly surprised, Nangong Li's selection? Indeed, the palace satin plain snow silk skirt on his body, dyed with a little purple, and the one worn by Nangong Li are the same style. It really makes Yan Rong secretly happy! ”

"Also...... I like it!" Yan Rong said softly.

"Don't think about it, my father asked me to choose me, I'm afraid that you will wear some fancy clothes and lose the king."

Yan Rong looked at Nangong Li's arrogant and triumphant face, he was really so choking when he spoke, and he had to laugh at Yan Rong when he gave him clothes.

"I won't be able to clean you up in the future!"
