General Zheng's residence.

Shi Qing is practicing martial arts in the garden, he is long and jade, wielding a strong tassel spear, commanding the wind and clouds, and in the vigor, there is quite a youthful temperament.

He smiled, his green face was suddenly beautiful.

"Little boy! Go to the Frontroom! ”

Just as she was proud, the grandmother beside Mrs. Zheng hurriedly came to find her.

"Mama, what's going on?"

"Someone is here in the palace, Madame asked me to invite the little boy, go to the front hall to receive the order."

His heart was shocked.

Put down the tassel gun and walk quickly to the hall.

Mrs. Zheng sat at the top of the hall, dressed in good clothes, and sat upright.

An aunt dressed in a brocade dark chrysanthemum pattern, with a bright and fresh appearance, a well-maintained countenance, and a meticulous serious face, which did not look like an ordinary family.

The two were talking, and between the words, they were very polite.

Seeing him appear, the aunt's eyes fell.

"Mother."

"Qing'er, come here."

Mother Zheng's face was solemn and peaceful, and she looked at the woman.

"This is Aunt Yingyan next to the Queen Mother."

She smiled and looked at Yingyan to introduce her own children.

"This is the dog Shiqing."

Although he was born in a martial arts family, the Zheng family is a big family, and the rules and teachings have always been strict, so Zheng Shiqing hugged his fists.

"My aunt is polite, Shiqing is rude, and I hope my aunt is not strange."

"The little boy doesn't have to be outside."

Ying Yan stood up with a smile, even if she was very well disguised, she couldn't help but reveal her urgency.

Mrs. Zheng then got up and knelt down solemnly.

"The Queen Mother's decree: Order Mrs. Zheng and her young son to enter the palace immediately to meet her."

She held up a pair of chaotic and shrewd eyes and swept over the two of them.

"Madam, son, the old lady is still waiting, without further ado, please leave immediately."

In such a hurry, without the slightest warning, Zheng's mother was suspicious.

But the person in front of her was indeed the old man next to the Queen Mother, and she didn't dare to ask more questions because of the Queen Mother's waist card.

The mother and son looked at each other and didn't think about it.

"Yes, there is Aunt Law."

"Please sit back and wait for a while, and let the courtiers and dogs go to change their clothes."

"No need, let's go now!"

Ying Yan's words have an indisputable coercion.

"Yes......"

The two followed behind Yingyan, silent along the way, carrying the sedan chair in a hurry, very bumpy, to the palace gate, the three of them got off the sedan chair and walked, only to hear the sound of small and hurried footsteps.

Her thoughts were mixed, and her heart beat suddenly when she thought of her daughter in the palace.

"I don't know...... Is it because the queen is not in good health? ”

Ying Yan didn't look back, and her footsteps didn't stop for half a minute.

"Madame went, and she will know."

Knowing that he had too much to say, Zheng didn't ask more.

Approaching the gate of Chenyang Palace, the mother and son were even more cautious, and they didn't even dare to come out.

Before he entered the temple, he heard a faint crying sound from inside.

Ying Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please stay in the outer hall and rest, Mrs. Zheng inside, please."

The two were nervous, but they didn't dare to make a mistake.

"Yes."

The Queen Mother was half-sitting on the couch, with no pearls on her head, half-arching her body outward, bursting into tears, almost sobbing, and heartbroken.

Yingyan came in with a beaded curtain and stepped forward to serve, reassuring in a loud voice.

"People can't be resurrected after death, and the Queen Mother must also take care of her body."

The man on the couch turned a deaf ear.

Her expression was like a mourning exam.

"Pity his father and son for their loyalty and martyrdom, and they have fought countless battles, but after all, they are still shrouded in horse leather on the battlefield, and the mourning family enjoys this glory and wealth in this deep palace...... It's really painful for the mourning family! ”

Just this sentence made Mrs. Zheng retreat again and again, and in an instant, her face was as pale as paper.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Along the way, although she was silent on the surface, she was always restless, fearing that something big would happen.

I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect ......

Thinking of the sake lees brewed at home, her heart was like a knife.

Just yesterday, she was still talking to Qing'er that her father liked to eat the family's sake lees the most.

Hands and feet were cold, and tears were rolling in their eyes.

"Sir...... Kang'er ......"

"Courtesy Zheng, see Queen Mother, Queen Mother Chitose, Fukang...... Peacefulness. ”

Bow your head, and you can no longer lift it up.

Tears flowed from his eyes, one, two...... Falling on the cold and hard floor tiles, it eventually became a torrent and silent.

She only felt that there seemed to be ten thousand arrows piercing her heart in her chest, and the pain was suffocating!

"The Queen Mother's ......"

Ying Yan reminded her.

She woke up suddenly, as if she had just recovered from her grief.

wiped away his tears, and saw the kneeling people below, as if he had seen a long-lost relative, with great enthusiasm in his pity.

"Give me a seat!"

Zheng is still heartbroken.

But in front of the heavenly family, she didn't dare to disobey half a point, lest she be rude.

She always remembered that she still had a daughter and needed to rely on this mother-in-law.

"Yes...... Courtiers, thank you Queen Mother. ”

The last four words are the words she replied with tears in her eyes.

"You ......"

Before the words were spoken, the Queen Mother was choked up again.

"You...... Did you hear it all? ”

The seater wept and nodded silently.

"Alas!"

The Queen Mother kept hammering the bed, heartbroken.

"Pity you Zheng family full of loyalty, even ......"

Receiving such a blow, even if she was resolute, Mrs. Zheng could no longer hide it at the moment, and fell straight and fell from the stool.

Zheng Shiqing was waiting outside, not daring to make a rash mistake, but his heart was like a fire, and he couldn't bear it.

It happened that someone from the palace came out, and he asked eagerly.

The servant girl glanced at him and said hurriedly:

"Mrs. Zheng fainted, I have to call the imperial doctor!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue for a while.

In his heart, a bad omen rose up.

"I'm tired of going in and informing you, Your Majesty Zheng Shiqing, ask to see the Queen Mother!"

Early spring is bitterly cold and the north wind is gentle.

He was pacing back and forth under the porch, sweating profusely even in a green shirt.

After a while, the movement inside was a little quieter.

There was no crying, it was very quiet.

The Imperial Physician hurried in and out in a hurry. The people who followed, as well as Yingyan.

"Let Gongzi wait for a long time, Mrs. Zheng is ill and is resting in the inner hall, Gongzi can rest assured, the imperial doctor said that it is okay, please let Gongzi in."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Before he had time to ask, he stepped into the door with a meteor.

I only care about my mother.

Mother has always been strong and pays great attention to etiquette, what kind of thing can make her faint in the queen mother's bedroom?

He didn't dare to think about it!

And this year, he is only twelve years old.

……

Xiao Xiazi was ordered to go to Zhengfu to deal with the aftermath, and after finishing his work in a hurry, he took people to beat horses and left.

As soon as they were halfway down the road, a group of people galloped towards them.

"Appeal ......"

Le Ma looked over, and the pedestrians were oppressed.

Although he is dressed in black and masked, he is narrow-waisted and thin-waisted, not like a person in the rivers and lakes.

Even if he changed his usual attire, with years of experience, Xiao Xiazi could conclude at a glance that the pedestrian was a eunuch in the palace!

A little eunuch went up and wanted to stop and interrogate.

"Stop!"

Unexpectedly, the other party galloped and fast, and did not listen to any edicts at all.

"Be careful!"

A dagger fell and swung it into the air, and he was agile enough to avoid it, but the horse under his crotch was frightened and almost knocked forward, and he was still frightened.

The little eunuchs who followed immediately gathered around.

"Grandpa Xia, are you okay?"

"Are there any injuries?"

In addition to speaking, there are also anxious eunuchs who want to chase after them.

"Come back!"

Looking at the direction in which the group was gone, he looked sharp and took a hard bite.

"Phew, wild calf!"

"There's no need to catch up, it's important for our family to return to the palace!"

The night was four, and under the canopy, it began to show a chaotic haze.

In the inner sanctum of Chenyang Palace.

Mrs. Zheng was lying on the soft couch, and the imperial doctor prescribed the pills, and she had already taken them.

At this moment, she breathes evenly and looks natural.

Shi Qing first heard the bad news, and couldn't calm down for a long time, looking at his mother who hadn't woken up yet, he was crying from time to time, his chest was full of blood, and his eyes were extremely sad.

Thinking about himself, he learned martial arts at the age of three, and a red tassel gun played with a tiger, almost unmatched.

And now, when he heard the bad news of his father and brother, he could only swallow this breath silently.

I can't ...... Shame on my father and brother!

"Traitors from the North!"

In addition to being excited, he punched the pillar, and the dust shook.

At this moment, it seemed that Lang Lang's reading voice came from somewhere, although the child's accent was immature, the words were very clear.

"Righteousness and light life are a sword, and Bai Hongguan will take revenge. ……”

He was listening intently when a maid came over.

The figure flashed, and he hid behind the Zhu Gate.

"Ninth son, don't study here, beware of disturbing the Queen Mother."

The boy was immediately silenced.

"Yes......"

His heart was tormenting hot.

"Bai Hongguan has revenge...... Bai Hongguan avenges his revenge and returns to ......"

Finally, he made up his mind.

"The Queen Mother's ......"

Zheng Shiqing knelt below, his face bruised.

Looking at the people below, a smile appeared in the depths of his heart.

"Son, get up and speak."

He hesitated, but finally opened his mouth.

"Shiqing made a wish to the Queen Mother, wanting to go to the border to avenge his father and brother, and wash away the national shame!"

Her smile deepened, but she still pretended to be sad on the surface.

"The little boy and boy are hot-blooded, and the mourning family can naturally understand it."

On that vertical and horizontal face, tears slowly emerged.

"It's just...... It's just that you are still young, even if you have a martial arts, but leading soldiers to fight, it is a matter of hanging your head all the time, it is not child's play, your father and brother have sacrificed their lives for Da Yin, do you still want to watch you and be in danger? ”

"I ......"

Seeing that he was hesitant, the Queen Mother immediately changed her attitude.

"It's hard to say, after this battle, the border is devastated, and now the army is guarded by General Han, poor me is full of talents, but it is difficult to find generals at critical moments."

Shi Qing's expression was still sad and angry.

"Zheng's family has three generals, and now the two generals have died, and the mourning family has lost their right hand. Now that the border is in turmoil and peace, the two countries in the north want to make peace, and it is the time for the little prince to experience! ”

At the mention of General Han, awe appeared on his face.

"The Queen Mother Mingjian."

"Uncle Han is a fierce general under his father's command, and his father and brother have been friends with life and death for many years, although his subordinates have only seen a few faces, but he often listens to his father and brother talk about it, on talent and character, on leading troops to kill the enemy, few people in the army can match, it is a rare general!"

"Good!"

The superior gave him an approving look.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a descendant of the Zheng family!"

Without waiting for him to answer, the other party pressed forward step by step.

"The mourning family only asks the little boy, are you willing to join his command, led by General Han, and learn the affairs of the army?"

Shi Qing is full of enthusiasm, has practiced hard for many years, and wants to share the worries of his father and brother, and he is following his wish at the moment, why can't he?

He immediately clasped his hands together and knelt down.

"The minister asks for his life, and if he does not forget the grace of the queen mother, he will be ashamed of the hatred of his father and brother, and the hatred of his family and country!"

The Queen Mother nodded approvingly.

"Now that the two countries are in harmony, this matter should not be too publicized, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the northern border."

"Yes."

"The mourning family personally took a letter of resignation, you set off on the same day, rushed to the border, and handed the letter to General Han, who knew it after seeing the letter. He personally led and taught, and the mourning family could rest assured that after many years, the mourning family and the saint should still be entrusted with important tasks. ”

"Yingyan!"

"The slave is here."

"You go to the Showa Hall to spread the word and see Concubine Yi...... Did she have any letters for her father? ”

"Yes."

Zheng Shiqing bowed down tremblingly: "Thank you Empress Dowager Longen." ”

The hidden queen was about to speak, and the palace maid in the inner hall hurriedly came to report.

"Queen Mother, Mrs. Zheng is awake."

She paused, and then looked at Zheng Shiqing.

"Mother and son are separated, and after many years of separation, the wife has experienced the pain of losing her husband and child, you go and talk to your mother."

That fiery heart, very grateful.

"Thank you Queen Mother for your success!"

"Mother!"

Seeing that Mrs. Zheng was safe and sound, his tense heart was relieved, so he took advantage of the moment to speak and detailed the scene one by one.

Mrs. Zheng was very reluctant in her heart, but she could guess the meaning of the Queen Mother.

It's just that......

She hesitated.

Now, she only has this one son left!

But so what?

As a military general, it is supposed to kill the enemy and serve the country.

Besides, the old man's son lost the battle, and the court did not pursue the responsibility, which was already very merciful.

Even if she turned around a thousand times, she had to tell with tears.

The mother and son talked for a long time, and another palace maid came to pass it.

"Concubine Yi's book repair is ready, please go on the road."

Zheng's heart was full of mixed feelings, pulling his son's sleeve, unwilling to let go for a long time.

“…… Concubine Yi ......"

Recalling the words of the Empress Dowager Fang Cai, he reacted, and after thinking about it for a while, he lost his sense of proportion.

"No...... No, it won't! ”

"Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"

He did not answer his mother's words, but only stopped the maid.

"I take the liberty of asking, among the concubines in the palace of this dynasty, I have never heard of the name of 'Yi', and I don't know who this 'Concubine Yi''s family is?"

The palace maid smiled.

"This is General Han's only daughter, she has just been crowned Niangniang, and the edict has not yet been issued, so you don't know."

After hearing this, the mother and son were all shocked!

Looking at each other, Zheng Shiqing was speechless for a long time.

Deep down, there is a sour taste.

Just last night, his mother asked him:

"Qing'er, what kind of woman do you like?"

"Sister Yu'an's like that, it's very good~"

He blurted out almost without hesitation.

And all this I know today is really unexpected!

Looking around, Mrs. Zheng hurriedly said:

"Yu'an is a mother, she has a good place in this life, and we are all very happy."

The air was silent, and his mother squeezed his hand tightly, clutching him painfully.

It was a long time before he spoke slowly.

"Mother...... Said yes. ”

As he was talking, he saw Yingyan coming to urge.

"Mrs. Zheng's house has been completed, the Queen Mother left Mrs. Zheng in Chenyang Palace, resting for a few days, it is not early, the horses and luggage have been completed, and the son can set off."

There's no time to think about it, there's no time to think about it.

Shi Qing said goodbye to his mother with tears.

Looking at the relatives who got along day and night, he couldn't speak for a long time, and only said a few words in the end:

"Take care ......"

His sister's name, he never dared to mention it.

"Thank you aunt for sending me, and please tell the Queen Mother, Jin Zun Fengti, don't be overly sad."

"If Childe says, I'll definitely bring it."

Unconsciously, it's already the second watch.

The moonlight is shining outside the window lattice.

On the corridor, every five meters away, there is a silk sheep horn palace lamp, emitting a swaying light.

The first time I slept in the deep palace, too many things happened in one day.

"Oh my God...... What exactly am I doing wrong? ”

"Why is fate so unfair!"

She shouted in her heart, and in the dark air, there was a mournful sigh.

Husband, children, and a perfect home......

Almost in the blink of an eye, she lost everything!

Lying on the soft couch of gold silk, tossing and turning, secretly weeping, her heart was lonely, but thinking of her situation at the moment, she didn't dare to show half of it.

What's more, my daughter is still in the palace!

She can't trouble her.

Three watches and three o'clock thousands of homes sleep, and the dew wants to fall into smoke for the frost moon.

I stared out the window blankly, looking at the halo pouring in, my eyes were swollen and painful, my heart was sour, and when I opened my eyes, it was gray, and tears flowed down like a stream.

The hourglass on the table was bursting, just after the fifth watch.

At this moment, she felt groggy and fell asleep in a hazy way.

Outside the city.

The long and jade little man, with his mother's concern, his responsibility to his family and country, and his unwillingness and resentment to avenge his relatives, galloped in the dark night.

Out of Miyagi, he beat his horse all the way and galloped along the official road.

Along the way, I didn't dare to stop for half a minute.

"Appeal ......"

Walking to the post stations along the way, he flew off his horse and took out the official document from his bosom.

Someone immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Quick! A new horse! Fill it with dry food and water, and you can't delay for a moment! ”

At dawn, crab green.

On both sides of the road, there are faint lights of stars.

The little man on the horse, who got down in the dust, entered the guest house to rest for a while.

Looking at the road from the beginning, all kinds of emotions in his heart spontaneously arise, and there are mixed tastes.

"The tree is far away from Qinguan, and the river is lonely in Chuyi."

"Sister, mother, you wait for me to come back!"

Even if he was exhausted, he just took a nap and didn't dare to rest at all.

He knew that there were countless pairs of eyes looking at him.

An hour later.

The white-robed young man strode out of the guest house, mounted his horse vigorously, and stepped north, leaving the dust.

The morning breeze blows on the face, and the tip of the nose pours into the fragrance of plants and trees.

On the guest house where he left.

A woman dressed in a crimson robe, holding a gilded evergreen sword and covering her face with a red veil, looked at the pale figure in a daze, unable to see her expression.

As if frozen, she didn't move for half a day.

The handmaid came to sue.

"Miss, it's time to go."

"Hmm."

"The King's Letter."

She reached out and took the envelope and looked at it quickly, then with a slight pressure from her fingertips, the letter burned.

"Go, tell Xingchen who my brother wants, and I'll help him inquire."

Since she was a child, she didn't understand what "love" was.

What does it look like to be a person who can make my brother miss me for so many years?

I heard that she is a woman in her thirties.

More than thirty?

It's already very old.

"Yin people have a saying, called 'a lifetime of one generation and one pair', do you understand?"

The maid on the side shook her head faintly, her face dazed.

Her name is Xinghe, but she's mute.

"I don't understand it either, but I want to."

Helian Chiqing's eyes were faint, and he looked into the distance in a daze.

"What kind of thing can make people forget time, give up power and money, and spend so much time and energy to pursue ......?"

In her mind, she remembered her brother's words.

"I hope you never understand."

"Really?"

A sly smile crossed her lips, for she had always been a disobedient child.

"Then I want to understand!"

Hao's wrist raised the evergreen sword, with a hint of exploration, pointing straight into the sky.

"Pass the order, go!"

If you look closely, you will see that the scabbard is forged with intricate lines, as if it was derived from an ancient meaning.

Like the hosts, amazingly beautiful.
