Chapter 110: The Queen Mother Arrives in Dongyong

"Under the nest, there are no eggs?" Xu Lan said: "Once the Xu family declines, even if I marry a good family, can I have a good result?" While speaking, Xu Lan stepped forward and said, "Daddy." Besides, I'm just going to see what kind of person King Yong is, who can make the arrogant second brother so convinced. The second brother will pick up the Queen Mother Yong on this trip, as long as the child can please the Queen Mother Yong, even if he doesn't marry the Queen Mother, wouldn't it be good for my brother to have a little more help in King Yong? ”

The warm water on Old Man Xu's body gradually cooled down, and Old Man Xu felt a lonely chill, but compared to the feeling of cold water on his body, he felt even colder in his heart, sighed, and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want." Let's go, let's go with your second brother. However, remembering the daughter of my Xu family, you can't be unorthodox. You are only going to accompany the Queen Mother Yong. Go and go back. ”

Xu Lan smiled: "I know that my father loves me the most." ”

After Old Man Xu watched Xu Lan leave, he sat in the shadows and pondered slowly. Secretly said: "Among my sons, the most capable son is the second child, the second child is so desperate for King Yong, do you have to think about it, and the whole family defects to King Yong?" ”

When Old Man Xu fell into deep thought.

Xu Lan hurriedly prepared some changes of clothes, as if she was afraid that Old Man Xu would regret it, and Xu Dong and Xu Dong got on the boat.

A few days later, it stopped in Tianjin. It's just that Empress Dowager Wu's movements seemed to be much slower than they expected, and a few days later, they waited for the arrival of Empress Dowager Wu.

"Xu Dong, the commander of the naval division of the Yongguo Kingdom, visited the Queen Mother."

"Get up." Empress Dowager Wu said: "Quickly free up a boat and leave today." "The Empress Dowager Wu was already anxious, and as soon as she arrived in Tianjin, she immediately greeted everyone and loaded the ship immediately.

Maybe the Empress Dowager Wu was in a hurry, or maybe the Empress Dowager Wu didn't want to bring more things, but after half a day, she filled the boat with things. However, although Empress Dowager Wu didn't bring many things, there were a lot of servants, and many of these servants had served the Yongwang Mansion for two or three generations, and it was not appropriate to let go of that one. In addition, when Empress Dowager Wu heard that Zhu Houhuang was short of people, she brought all the family members with her, and there were hundreds of people.

But five big ships are enough.

Xu Dong came here, with a flattering intention in his heart, and naturally wanted to do it perfectly. The largest ship was vacated as the seat of the Queen Mother, and all of them were women, except for the sailors who must be on board.

As soon as the Empress Dowager Wu got on the boat, a woman greeted her and said, "The people's daughter Xu Lan has seen the Empress Dowager. ”

When Empress Dowager Wu saw it, she felt that this girl was so handsome, and said, "Who are you under the leadership of Xu?" ”

Xu Lan said: "The daughter of the people is the sister of the commander of Xu, the elder brother is worried that the queen mother has not been on a sea ship and is not suitable for the environment at sea, so he specially sent me to serve the queen mother. ”

"You're not always at sea." Empress Dowager Wu said in one sentence.

Xu Lan was taken aback and said, "Why did the Queen Mother say this?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu said: "Just look at your skin, it's really a deception to the frost and snow?" I was jealous when I saw it. ”

Among the servants on the ship are the families of sailors, they really run the sea all the year round, and their skin is dark and dark, and Xu Lan is placed among them, and he sees it very clearly.

Empress Dowager Wu secretly said in her heart: "Is this little girl just the sister of Commander Xu?" Did Huang'er let her come here with this little girl? I have to say that Xu Lan reminded Empress Dowager Wu of the unpleasant memories in her heart.

In fact, in ancient aristocratic families, engagement was very early. When Zhu Houhuang was very young, someone came to the door to get engaged, and some Empress Dowager Wu was moved, but Zhu Houhuang resolutely refused. Be free to fall in love. This is the most serious quarrel between Zhu Houhuang and Empress Dowager Wu, and it is still fresh in my memory when I think about it at this moment.

"Huang'er, after all, you've grown up. Know femininity. The more Empress Dowager Wu looked at it, the more she felt that Xu Lan was pleasing to the eye. The more I feel that Xu Lan was prepared by Zhu Houhuang in advance, just to please himself. Maybe it's his future daughter-in-law. Empress Dowager Wu grabbed Xu Lan's hand and said, "Let's go." Let's get on board. ”

Xu Lan didn't know how, and was made up like this by Empress Dowager Wu's brain. It's just that Empress Dowager Wu seems to be an elder, which makes Xu Lan feel good. Xu Lan has always been by Old Man Xu's side, and his best skill is to please his elders.

Empress Dowager Wu sent all the servants down and assigned tasks, while Xu Lan stayed by her side.

After a while, the ship started.

If the ship does not move, Wu immediately feels uncomfortable. I wanted to say something to Xu Lan. Suddenly I lost my mood.

Seeing this, Xu Lan immediately knew that Empress Dowager Wu was seasick. She immediately took out some pills and said, "Niangniang, take some medicine." This medicine is used to treat seasickness. ”

Empress Dowager Wu's seasickness was not too heavy, and after taking the medicine, she fell asleep groggily, which was better.

Because there was Empress Dowager Wu on board, Xu Dong was worried that something would go wrong and did not dare to enter the deep sea. Head south along the twisting coastline. It took some more time.

In the past few days, Xu Lan and Empress Dowager Wu have a very good relationship. Xu Lan asked, "Was Your Highness very naughty when he was a child?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu leaned on the bed and said: "Naughty, why don't you be naughty, one will say that you want to build a big iron boat, and another will say that you want to build a big iron bird, a big iron bird that can hold hundreds of people in your belly." I asked him, isn't that bigger than Kunpeng? You know what he says? ”

"How?" Xu Lan said.

Empress Dowager Wu said: "Huang'er said; 'The Kunpeng doesn't exist, but the big iron bird does, so the big iron bird, as if it's called an airplane, is bigger than the Kunpeng. It's like the truth. After Empress Dowager Wu finished speaking, she suddenly asked, "Lan'er, what do you think of Huang'er?" ”

Xu Lan blushed suddenly, where did she ask a woman in the boudoir a man's opinion. Xu Lan was very bold in front of his brother, but in front of Empress Dowager Wu, he didn't dare to be presumptuous. With a blushing face, he muttered, "Your Highness is a big hero. ”

Empress Dowager Wu said: "Ah, a big hero. ”

Empress Dowager Wu looked at Xu Lan's expression, and she was even more convinced. He secretly said in his heart: "Xu Lan is a good child, and his brother is the one who Huang'er can use." And Huang'er sent her over, obviously because she had a heart, so why should I be a wicked person? ”

Empress Dowager Wu always thinks of Zhu Houhuang's stubbornness, and knows that there are some things, Zhu Houhuang has never refused to bow his head, so she simply sees that Xu Lan is good, so she acquiesces in her heart.

This acquiescence simply flattered Xu Lan and surprised Xu Dong. Xu Lan followed the Empress Dowager Wu all the time, and only left after nightfall, and the Empress Dowager Wu and Xu Lan seemed to have endless thoughtful words.

Empress Dowager Wu and Xu Lan talked about Zhu Houhuang, all kinds of things when Zhu Houhuang was a child. The image of His Royal Highness King Yong slowly plumped up in Xu Lan's heart.

From Xu Dong to the north, to the back. Coupled with the time spent in Tianjin, Xu Dong was away for almost a month. Back to the time of the big man again. Immediately, I felt that there had been a big change in the big people, and the biggest change was that all the people's houses had become mud houses, no longer simple thatched houses. And a large open space in the middle of the big man also built a mansion. Of course, this mansion is still very simple, and only a few small courtyards in the back are intact, and the rest are under construction.

Xu Dong saw that within a month, it was too efficient to be able to complete such a work, but when Empress Dowager Wu saw it, her tears were about to stay. This city wall is not complete, not even a decent house, when I think of Zhu Houhuang living here is such a harmonious life. Empress Dowager Wu immediately felt a pain in her heart.

Although Empress Dowager Wu is also diligent and thrifty, Zhu Houhuang grew up with fine clothes and fine food. Where have you ever suffered like this.

Empress Dowager Wu looked at Zhu Houhuang who was waiting at the dock again, and at a glance, Zhu Houhuang's whole person was half gone, and his face was a lot darker. Empress Dowager Wu was even more annoyed in her heart, snorted coldly, and glared fiercely at Yunmo, who was standing in general.

When the ship docked, Zhu Houhuang immediately knelt down and said, "The child visits the queen mother." ”
