Chapter 323
"What, a little trouble is on the march!"
Ah Ying seemed to have just come out of the deep mountains and old forests, and she didn't know that Qi Xiaohao was going to go on an expedition, and she was stupid after hearing it.
"yes, it's all gone early in the morning." Akon wondered if A-Ying didn't know about it.
A-Ying's recent awkwardness has been very great, and she doesn't listen to anything about Qi Xiaofu, for fear of hearing which young lady he is with, and he is angry to death if he marries him, and then can't help but strangle Qi Xiaohao to death again.
I didn't expect this omission to miss crucial information!
"How could he go on the expedition, did his father punish him, why didn't you tell me earlier!" A-Ying is going crazy, how can Qi Xiaohao go on the expedition, is that a joke, how dangerous it is, if you don't come back...... "No, I'll go to my father and chase him back!" ”
"Hey!" Ah Kang didn't hold it for a while, but even told her to run away, and immediately chased her out, "Ah Ying, wait, don't go, you can't chase ...... back"
A-Ying ran to find Yu Ning as if she was dead, "Father, father, how can you let Xiao Hao go on the expedition!" ”
Yu Ning was dealing with official business, and was very unhappy when she was disturbed, "Bastard thing, who let you be so big or small, let me out!" ”
Where can A-Ying care about reprimanding at this time, even if the emperor beats her to death, he has to drag Qi Xiaohao back first.
"Father, you will settle accounts with me later, I have something important to see you!" Ah Ying pushed away the palace people who were blocking her at the door, ran directly into the imperial study, and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Father, why did you send Xiao Hao to go on the expedition, how dangerous it is, how old is he, and he doesn't have much ability, it's not the time for training, can't you wait a few years before sending him - you call him back quickly, it's too late for the people to go away!" ”
Yu Ning slapped the fold on the table, "Bastard, isn't it a joke for the army to go out, if you say that you will be called, you will be called!" ”
"It's not up to you to call everyone back when the army goes out, it's not just a matter of recalling everyone, just recall a little trouble, you just think of a reason, wouldn't it be good to call him back alone!" A-Ying was so anxious that she didn't care if she didn't talk back, what to say, "If you want to be afraid of people saying, then I'll go, give me a horse, and I'll chase after me!" ”
"Stop!" Yu Ning was almost mad, and let go of the cruel words, "You dare to go out of the palace and beat you to death!" ”
Ah Ying's anger was only stronger, and she exploded at one point, "Why don't you let me out of the palace!" That's my freedom, I just don't let Xiao Hao go out, don't let him get into danger, if he can't come back, I won't live anymore, and then you will be left with Akang, you can do it! ”
Yu Ning got stuck in his throat when he heard this, and he didn't organize the words to scold her for a while, but then he came back to his senses, the meaning of what this bastard girl said.
What does it mean that she can't come back, and she won't live anymore?
What is it called, martyrdom?
Yu Ning stared at her own girl, dumbfounded, when did this girl make trouble with Xiao......
"You make it clear, what's the matter with you?" Yu Ning forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked as calmly as possible.
A-Ying was also stunned, she didn't want to say what was in her heart at all, but she accidentally blurted it out in a hurry, and when she was asked like this, her heart was also confused, and she had a sense of panic that the secret was known.
"Father, father, I have a brother and sister who are in love with Xiao, I am afraid that he will die on the battlefield, and Ah Kang, she is also worried, and Aunt Ruqing, Aunt Ruqing is such a baby bump in his heart, I am not sure how reluctant I am, you sent him out like this, and people are so reluctant." Ah Ying looked at him left and right.
Yu Ning frowned, this girl is usually articulate, and other people's ten mouths are no match for her, it was panicked to say such a loophole word, he sat down and said in a deep voice: "You are like Aunt Qing's love for her son, I naturally understand, you and Ah Kang grew up with Xiao Hao since childhood, they are like brothers and sisters, and it is understandable to care about him, but Ah Kang has never said that he wants to die for Xiao Fu, right?" ”
A-Ying's face turned red, she was blocked speechless, and the unknown throbbing in the deepest part of her heart was taken out and put on the surface, Rao was thick-skinned and couldn't bear it, she almost wanted to dig a pit and bury herself.
Yu Ning couldn't bear to see her embarrassed and embarrassed look, realizing that she was asking too hard, and the girl's family couldn't stand it, so she eased up and said: "A-Ying, you and Akang have also reached the age of talking about marriage, I and your mother have never forced you, whether you want to marry or not, it's up to you, you don't have to hide it from your parents, I also came over at your age, the first love is the most unspeakable, if you don't think about it, I don't force you, when you think about it, when you can talk to me or your mother, But there is no room for change in the matter of going on the expedition, firstly, this is a little trouble asked for himself, and secondly, I also have plans for him, if you really care about him, you should believe him, he is not a weak boy who can't do it, he has this ability. ”
Ah Ying was moved and embarrassed for a while, and worried for a while, so that she was speechless, she had a kind of courage to love anyone when she was desperate, anyway, her father saw it, she simply spread out her words and said: "Father, I, I just fancy a little trouble, but he doesn't seem to fancy me, but it doesn't matter, if he can't live alive, it's useless to say anything, I don't have so many ideas, I just want him to be safe." ”
Yu Ning made her heart-wrenching words so grumpy that she lost her temper, when she was a teenager, she didn't care about anything for love, he understood this feeling, not to mention the future of national affairs, I was afraid that it would be okay to take my own life, at this time I told her the truth, she couldn't listen to it, so she simply didn't say it.
"How can you conclude that Xiao Fu will not come back safely? He has been in the bandit den for so many years, and he has not retreated with his whole body, you don't have to be carried away by feelings, think about it more when you encounter something, don't be so impulsive again, you go down first. ”
A-Ying opened her mouth to refute, but looking at her father's expression, she knew that it was useless to refute, so she simply shut up, and she was ready to go to the queen mother.
Ah Kang was talking to Qi Wanru about this, and she was worried: "Queen Mother, why don't you go and take a look, I'm afraid that Ah Ying will make my father angry, you go and persuade Xing Xing to be fine." ”
Qi Wanru said strangely: "What do she do, she has been yin and yang all day long lately and I don't know who she is with, you are with her all day long, do you know what she thinks all day long?" ”
Ah Kang stopped asking this question, and she didn't know what to say, but she knew why Ah Ying was, but she couldn't say it clearly, "Hmm...... Queen Mother, we are all older, A-Ying will also have her own affairs, sometimes she doesn't tell me everything, I guess, she is worried about a little trouble, I am also very worried, after all, it is to go to the battlefield, not to play. ”
Qi Wanru was surprised: "Is it for a small fuss to go to the battlefield?" ”
"Uh......" Ah Kang nodded, "I guess so, she ran to find her father when she heard that Xiao Fu went to the battlefield, she was in a hurry, I didn't hold back. ”
Qi Wan felt intuitively that there was something going on here, but she didn't think much about it, so she thought about going to the emperor to take a look and stop arguing or anything.
As soon as she stood up to leave, A-Ying hurried in.
"A-Ying?" Ah Kang saw that Ah Ying had come back, and he was immediately relieved, "You're okay, the queen mother is about to save you." ”
Qi Wanru frowned and looked at A-Ying, and asked, "What are you doing with your father?" ”
Ah Ying thought to herself, today Hengzhu has already told her father about her heart, and she is not bad to talk to her mother, she just said it, she said: "Queen Mother, I don't want Xiao Hao to go to the battlefield, I begged my father to summon Xiao Hao back, my father didn't agree, I want you to help me talk to my father, your father will listen, okay, please Queen Mother, no matter how late it is, they won't be able to call back, they may have left Beijing at this time." ”
Qi Wanru was as surprised as Yu Ning, "How can the army that went out to fight be recalled?" Don't mess around, turn around and make your father angry, and the queen mother won't be able to save you. ”
"Queen Mother, please, I'm really, really afraid that I won't be able to come back, I'm ......"
Qi Wanru had a problem in her heart, she was more sensitive than Yu Ning, and she suddenly realized A-Ying's thoughts, after all, she was a mother and knew her daughter's thoughts. Her first reaction was surprise, because the three children grew up together, in her heart, they were more like brothers and sisters, and she never thought that A-Ying would have such thoughts about Xiao Fu.
"Ah Ying, don't worry, it's okay to make a little fuss, your father won't be unexpected, he is prepared." Qi Wanru could only stabilize A-Ying first, and beckoned her to come to her, "If you have anything to say, come and talk to your mother." ”
In front of her father, A-Ying had a tough attitude, but in front of her mother, her heart softened, as if she had encountered some grievance, she suddenly threw herself on Qi Wanru's legs, and she couldn't cry out of her heart and what she wanted.
Ah Kang froze, she had never seen Ah Ying cry so sadly, and she only wondered one thing in her heart, is it so uncomfortable to like a person?
Qi Wanru only sighed, touched A-Ying's head to soothe, and waited until he had cried enough before he spoke: "A-Ying, this is not something unsightly, there is nothing to be embarrassed to talk about, you have something on your mind, you can tell Akang, you can tell your mother and father, but don't hold it yourself, so that others don't know why you have a temper, and after a long time, they will think that you are a vexatious princess." ”
A-Ying wiped her tears and nodded, "I know what you said, but I, I really don't know how to say it, because Xiao Hao doesn't seem to mean that to me, I'm not in the mood, and I'm afraid of being embarrassed." ”
Qi Wanru understood, if Lang is in love with a concubine, beauty is always written on his face, at that time, needless to say, everyone can also see that such a yin and yang weird temper all day long, most of them are concubines who have no intention of having a lover.
Ah Kang couldn't bear it when he listened to it, because according to her observation, Xiao Hao really hadn't opened his mind yet, which meant that Ah Ying was in unrequited love. Who knows what will happen in the future, in case Xiao Hao falls in love with someone else - judging from Xiao Hao's relationship with Ah Ying for so many years, this situation is very likely, how uncomfortable Ah Ying is.
No one can say for sure this kind of thing, Qi Wanru knows that the things of men and women are the most undemanding, in order not to make her daughter too sad in the future, she had to explain first: "A-Ying, the love thing is the most unreasonable, anything can happen is possible, the only thing we can do is not to embarrass ourselves too much, whether we can make our wishes come true or not, we must maintain decency, as long as the sky does not fall, nothing is as important as ourselves, and when the time passes, you will find that it is nothing more than that." ”
A-Ying seems to understand whether she understands or not, she is the age of persistence, and she is persistent in everything, and asking for it is the most torturous thing in the world for her, and she feels that it is impossible for her to change things in her life.
But she is not an unreasonable person, if Xiaohao doesn't like her, she can't pester others, at most she tortures herself, and it's a big deal not to marry for the rest of her life.
"Mother, I have my own thoughts, don't ask about these, I just want the little trouble to be safe now, you also hurt the little trouble, right, you don't want the little trouble to do something, right?" A-Ying lowered her posture and begged.
Qi Wanru sighed, stroked A-Ying's head and said: "A-Ying, everyone has to grow up, you too, so is Xiao Hao, you have your own ideas and don't want me to ask, Xiao Hao is the same, how do you know that you stopped him, just for his good, he will definitely be happy, aren't you afraid that he will hate you for the rest of your life because of this?" ”
This time A-Ying was silent, she was speechless, she felt very sad in her heart, she felt as if she couldn't do anything, she couldn't let Xiao Hao like it, she couldn't keep him safe, she couldn't do anything.
"Queen Mother, I know, I won't make trouble, I'll go back to the room." A-Ying wiped away her tears, got up and left.
Ah Kang and Qi Wan glanced at each other, each sighed, and Ah Kang said: "Queen Mother, don't say anything about her during this time, I will take care of her, I want to come back to make a little trouble, her problem will not be cured." ”
Qi Wanru sighed, "Okay, you can go down too." ”
The war in southern Xinjiang is not the same as that in northern Xinjiang in those years, but the scale is not small, the army fought hard for several months, it can be regarded as temporarily stable, until the end of the second year, the enemy army retreated, more than a year later, the army triumphed.
For more than a year, whether it is in the palace or the Qingyang Marquis Mansion, everyone is hanging with a heart, always staring at the war in southern Xinjiang, during which there have been repeated reports of danger, which almost cost everyone's lives. Fortunately, with Qi Yanzhi and the emperor in the rear, they worked hard for this war and stabilized the eight directions, so that there was no danger.
On the day of the triumph of the army, the capital was empty, and the emperor Qingyang Marquis and the two princesses went to the city gate to greet them.
It's a pity that Qi Xiaohao's triumphant posture is not very good-looking, and he couldn't sit on a high-headed horse, and he was carried out from the carriage.
"Alas, the brothers are out of the way, the master is still panting, he can go." Qi Xiaohao's leg was injured and he couldn't walk very well, but he could barely walk.
In the year of the expedition, Qi Xiaohao was disgraced most of the time, but he added a big problem, that is, even if he was disgraced, he had to be majestic, and he once thought that even if he died on the battlefield, he couldn't die like a puddle of flesh.
Therefore, at this time, as long as the person does not lie down, he cannot go out sideways to meet people, it is too ugly.
Ah Dan didn't understand what kind of face he wanted, obviously he couldn't stand steadily, seeing him die to save face and suffer crimes, he really couldn't stand it, and stepped forward to help him, "Can you stop a little, that leg is almost useless, I see how good you can look if you become a cripple in the future!" ”
"It's fine." Qi Xiaohao waved his hand, full of nonchalance, "I have a miracle doctor at home, and he is ensuring that the medicine is cured." ”
Ah Dan ignored him and continued to hold on to his back.
"Xiao Hao seems to be injured?" Ah Ying cushioned her feet and anxiously looked at Qi Xiaohao in the crowd, wishing that she could grow eight feet taller.
Ah Kang said: "It seems to be yes, but it's okay if people can stand, don't worry, how can there be no one on the battlefield who is not injured, it's good that people are back." ”
A-Ying couldn't rest assured at all, if there weren't too many people, she would definitely rush up to take a look.
"I've seen the emperor, the queen, the Marquis of Qingyang!" Yu Junxie led everyone to salute Yu Ning and the others, and Qi Xiaohao also shouted, the rules are decent, and it looks like that.
It was inconvenient to say anything in front of the people, and after everyone returned to the palace and made a routine report, Qi Yanzhi asked about his son's leg.
"What, the lottery is up? What's still hurting? Qi Yanzhi pinched Qi Xiaohao's shoulders, he hadn't seen them for more than a year, and he was strong and thick, so he had the appearance of a man.
"There are a lot of injuries, and small injuries are not worth mentioning." Qi Xiaohao lifted his leg to the chair, probably because of the pain, and bared his teeth and said, "This is the evil poison of southern Xinjiang, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." ”
Hearing the poisoning, Qi Yanzhi frowned, this matter Ah Danke had a chance to speak, he said: "Where is the small injury, he was besieged by more than a dozen people alone, not to mention a poisonous arrow pierced the thigh, the military doctor said that this leg could not be saved, if it weren't for ......"
"Why do you talk so much, are you a man, who doesn't get stabbed twice on the battlefield, isn't it poisoned, and it's not just me who is poisoned." Qi Xiaohao interrupted Ah Dan.
Qi Yanzhi glanced at his son, and felt strange comfort in his heart, the man knew that he had endured it, and he had grown up, "Let's go home first, I don't have to hide it from your mother, she is not a person who can't stand it." ”
"Well, my mother's body is fine, didn't you care about me crying, right?" Qi Xiaohao's most distressed thing is his mother.
Qi Yanzhi smiled, "You go back and ask yourself." ”
