Ren Ran looked at Ye Qingyan's side face, and was stunned for a moment.

Hearing Ye Qingyan's words, he replied, "I heard that Niangniang is very interested in herbs? ”

"You don't need to call me Niangniang, now I'm dressed up, you can call me Ming Yan or Brother Yan."

"Yes, Brother Yan."

"Hmm. My mother left a lot of herbal books, and when I miss her, I will look through them, and I will remember them all over time. ”

"Does Brother Yan still have an impression of his mother?"

"No, just a vague shadow. It's my maid Chunyu, she still remembers my mother's appearance, and says that this is what I look like now. Of course, not this face, this face is a mask. ”

"But the side face will not change much, so it can still be seen that Brother Yan's mother must be a peerless beauty."

"My mother is indeed a great beauty, she likes to be free and unrestrained. I heard my aunt say that if it weren't for my mother to take care of me, she wouldn't stay in Yefu for a day. ”

"Then your mother left you, do you hate her?"

"I complained at first, but after I knew that she left me to find her father, I didn't complain."

"But she left you so small."

"Huh? How do you know that my mother left me? Ye Qingyan came back to his senses and looked at Ren Ran.

Ren Ran said with a smile: "Naturally, I heard the prince talk about the princess." ”

"Oh, it's all in the past, and it's useless to think about that." For her, it's already an old memory that can't be old. So she can't remember what Ming Haoyue looks like.

"Relieved?"

"What can I do if I am not relieved, can I not forgive my mother, and she will be able to crawl out of the grave? That's a corpse, okay? ”

“…… Scold. ”

"Don't talk about me, what about you? Where are you from, and who are you in your family? Ye Qingyan was very curious about where Ren Ran was, because no one knew, some said that he was from Fengzhou, and some said that he was from Chu.

Ren Ran replied: "I am from Chu. ”

"Chu State?" It's really true.

"Since I was a child, I grew up wandering with my father, and then my father was killed because of hatred, so I settled in Fengzhou. I met the prince in Fengzhou again, and I have been following him. ”

"What kind of man is your father?"

"He's a deserter."

"Deserters?"

"Well, that's what everybody calls him. But I knew that he had to choose to protect me. ”

"So, everyone can say he's a deserter, but you can't."

"What about Brother Yan's father?"

"I heard my aunt say that on the day I was born, my father was guarding my mother, and after I was born, he hugged me, named me Qingyan, and rushed to the battlefield with the Chu State, and never ......came back."

Ye Qingyan and Ren Ran talked a lot, but it was mostly about her and her life over the years, and Ren Ran listened very seriously.

……

Fifty miles outside the city of Jizhou, there is a big mountain.

This big mountain is called Hopeless Mountain. As the name suggests, it is a mountain without hope. Because there is no grass on this mountain, the excavation is more than ten meters deep, and it is only green stones. Therefore, this mountain is called Hopeless Mountain. When the city wall of Jizhou City was built, the bluestone used was produced here.

Later, after the walls were built, the entire mountain was completely abandoned.

Xiao Changqi took Zhu Hai and rode a horse to Hopeless Mountain.

The place has changed since last year, and there are always shouts and shouts from the mountains from time to time, as if they are giving orders.

As Xiao Changqi entered the hinterland of the mountains, another willow blossom brightened.

In the Hopeless Mountain, in addition to stones, there is also soil, and vegetables are grown in the soil. Thousands of young men with strong blood and vigor are practicing martial arts in a clearing, or holding knives, guns and sticks.

Xiao Changqi's arrival caused these people to stop their drills and bow down to Xiao Changqi in unison.

"Greetings to my king—"

Beijing——

Jade Prince's Mansion, Wende Temple.

Chunyu carried a bucket of water, watered the herbs diligently, and watched them grow vigorously, as if he could see that his master was also alive and kicking, and he must be alive and well in the north.

Wang Mao came over happily, "Miss Chunyu has to prepare." ”

"Huh? I'm going out again. As soon as he said that he was ready, Chunyu knew that he was going to pretend to be his master and go out to socialize. She had entered the palace no less than ten times, returned to the Ye Mansion six times, and had three invitations from other ladies and ladies.

Wang Mao said: "This time is really a happy event, Ye Dagongzi has won the top three flowers, and the guests of the Ye Mansion banquet, you must go to congratulate you." ”

"Ah, the eldest young master has to explore the flowers, is that going to be a lot of banquets?" Chunyu put down the water scoop in his hand, shook the water stains on his hand again, and naturally rubbed it on his clothes.

"It must be indispensable. Ye Mansion is also a family of saints, after General Ye died on the battlefield, there has not been a good seedling, Ye Da's talent and mediocrity are also very reluctant to mention, and now there are real talents and learning juniors, Your Majesty is indispensable to promote. ”

"If we don't get promoted, we can't care about it. But what Niangniang wrote to explain, I have to ask Mrs. Ye to go again. With that, the spring rain went into the house.

Wang Mao saw that Chunyu had gone to change clothes, so he also turned around and prepared to arrange travel.

As a result, when he turned his head, he saw a person carrying the corpse of a maid of the palace in his hand.

The spirit spirit was taken aback, "Yo, Lord Gui, you really live up to your name, you are really like a ghost, haunting impermanence." ”

"This man is eavesdropping on your conversation." 'Bang~' dropped the corpse and flew away again.

"That being the case, Lord Hard." Wang Mao looked at the female corpse on the ground, looked at some faces, and said in disgust: "These nasty flies can't be killed cleanly no matter how much they are killed." He dragged the female corpse and walked away.

……

Shangyang Palace——

Concubine Duan sat in the pavilion in the small garden, drinking tea, admiring the purple and red flowers, and a few flowers blooming and decaying, and took a few more looks.

Mama Yuan followed Concubine Duan's gaze, her expression changed slightly, and she replied respectfully: "It should be that the new palace maid is lazy again, and the slave maid will be cut off." ”

"No, these flowers are good. It's like this harem, like a new beauty like a flower, and an old person like a flower. Concubine Duan took a sip of tea, "In the court, is there anyone talking about Qi'er?" ”

"I heard that the Asari is arguing about His Highness's desire to send border guards. Jizhou is a border state, and it is separated from Xidi by a Qiang Mountain. Now that the weather is warm, the snow in Qiang Mountain has melted, and if there is any movement on Xidi's side, it will be at this time. It is normal for His Highness to be worried, and it is also for the sake of the border security of the imperial court. ”

"Concubine Xian, I'm afraid I can't wait for my son to be trampled on by Sidi." Concubine Duan's face suddenly became ugly.

Yuan Mama said: "Why don't you ask Your Majesty for intercession?" ”。

"Where is Your Majesty now?"
