Cao Yuqing saw that the maid and the nurse took good care of the four children, and some words were not suitable for the children to hear, so she and Qin Yining held hands and walked slowly to the porch to talk.

"According to me, if you and the prince had the heart you have now in the early years, you would not have suffered so many sins over the years. It's a pity that you are all people who take care of morality, and you are reluctant to let the common people suffer. ”

Qin Yining smiled bitterly and lowered his eyes, scraped the pillar of his hand with his nails, and said helplessly: "This is also a matter of no way, maybe this is the character of a person who determines fate." I sometimes think that if I had known that there would be today's situation, I might have persuaded the prince at that time. We didn't choose to do it right now. ”

"Sometimes I say this to your father," Cao Yuqing hugged Qin Yining's shoulder, "Your father said that everything must first be accumulated to achieve qualitative change. You and the prince are both people who care about the people, and it is normal for you to take into account the feelings of the people, which also has certain benefits. ”

Qin Yining looked at Cao Yuqing suspiciously.

Pinning the falling broken hair of Qin Yining's sideburns behind his ears, Cao Yuqing said gently: "When things develop to the stage where you can't bear it anymore, you must already be on the side of morality and morality. At that time, no matter how things develop in the future, whether you have the heart to be ambitious or not, things will be easier to deal with, at least there will be fewer obstacles for you to make a choice. ”

Qin Yining bowed, "This is also the only place worth consoling now." But will we really be allowed to make choices in the future? ”

Cao Yuqing looked at Qin Yining strangely, "Do you have any other ideas?" ”

Qin Yining looked back at the house.

Cao Yuqing immediately understood what she meant, took her arm and said, "Let's go shopping in the Zhuangzi." ”

"Okay." When the two of them left the inner house, Qin Yining waved his hand to signal that the people around him did not need to follow, and looked for a shady path all the way to a more open place.

Cao Yuqing leaned under a tall catalpa tree, looked around casually, and then looked up at the stranded tassels hanging under the wide leaves, "Sister Yi'er has something to say to me?" ”

Qin Yining knew that he could speak with confidence, so he said, "Aunt Cao, I have never mentioned this to others. I can only talk to you about it. ”

Being regarded by Qin Yining as an object to talk to, Cao Yuqing smiled happily and nodded: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense with people." You can talk about any troubles you have, and I can help you solve them. ”

Qin Yining smiled bitterly and said: "Aunt Cao, in fact, what my father said is right, now the prince has a high voice among the people, and there are many positive evaluations, in the future, he and Li Qitian will have a battle, with the current financial resources and troops in Li Qitian's hands, the prince's victory rate is very large." ”

"yes." Cao Yuqing said with a smile, "Your father often said that the two of you are thoughtful and everything has been planned. There won't be too many obstacles in the future. ”

Although the words were hidden, Qin Yining understood that what Cao Yuqing said did not have too many obstacles, and of course he was referring to ascending to that position.

"Actually, to this day, what I want most is to live an ordinary life, where the family gets together and can grow old in peace."

Cao Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Sister Yi'er, you seem to be ...... about that position"

Qin Yining lowered his head, pursed his red lips and sighed: "That position is good, but the person who would have changed to three points will also change to seven points in that position." I can't say that people will never change, but once they get to that position, change is catalyzed. I was really scared. ”

Cao Yuqing understood.

Qin Yining's relationship with Xiao Xiao is too good. There are too many ups and downs and tribulations that we have experienced together. Qin Yining has paid a lot in this relationship, because of the grievances and tribulations that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

The only thing that can make a woman like Qin Yining care is that Xiao Xiao is different from the men in the world, he is single-minded towards Qin Yining, and he has never had any other thoughts, he does not accept concubines, nor does he accept houses.

But once you get to that position, it's hard to say what the future holds. Once a man wakes up and takes over the power of the world, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not expect a drunk beauty to lie on his knees. And how many years can a woman have in her best years?

Qin Yining is beautiful, but her face will eventually grow old. There will always be young, flower-like women who will appear to fill the emperor's harem.

What Qin Yining is afraid of is probably not the turbulent life, what she is afraid of is that people's hearts are easily changing.

That would make her wonder if her effort was worth it.

Cao Yuqing hugged Qin Yining's shoulders with pity, and sighed helplessly: "Sister Yi'er, your worries understand. But there are some things that are already established and cannot be changed. Just like me, I'm just a concubine. ”

"I know, Aunt Cao, I understand all these truths. Now that the world is like this, not to mention that he is really an emperor, even if he doesn't like it, the balance of interests between courtiers will make many women appear by his side. I understand all of this. I was just...... Somewhat stunned. ”

"Don't think about it, no matter what, no one will be able to take your place. You are, after all, a mother of four. ”

"I understand, I understand." Qin Yining leaned against the trunk of the catalpa tree behind him and sighed lightly, "I'm just, panicking in my heart." ”

"Your relationship with the prince is so good, if something really happens, it will really make people feel pity." Cao Yuqing pondered for a moment, and her eyes lit up, "In fact, with the current situation, as long as you shake your head, you can continue to live an ordinary life." Who stipulates that if you win the world, you must sit in the world? ”

Qin Yining shook his head and said, "It's hard to ride a tiger now." ”

Cao Yuqing was silent for a while.

If it weren't for the difficulty of riding a tiger, they wouldn't have avoided the people under Xiao Xiao when they said this.

Which of these followers is not for their own future? Even if the owl doesn't want to get to that position in the future, these people will try their best to push people up. Because only when the owl becomes the emperor, can they have the merit of being a dragon.

A person who is burdened with the expectations and future of so many people, where can he say no if he wants to? If you don't talk about anything else, just say that if you can't get it, you will have supreme power, and no matter who ascends to that position at that time, you should never let go of a person with such a high prestige in the army, right?

They all understood that the existence of a second Li Qitian could no longer be tolerated.

Cao Yuqing took Qin Yining's hand and shook it: "Sister Yi, you listen to your aunt's words." ”

"Aunt Cao, you say." Qin Yining raised his eyes and looked at Cao Yuqing.

Cao Yuqing said: "In this world, there is no such thing as perfection and everything goes well, there will always be unsatisfactory here or there." Just like me, I was born in a famous family, but I was a secret agent, and if I did a secret agent, I had to be loyal to the king, I was arranged to have an unsatisfactory marriage, and I married someone I didn't like, and every step of the way was a waste of time, and I spent most of my life living for others. ”

"But Sister Yi'er, the reality that exists objectively is sometimes not something that we can change by relying on manpower. Since you can't change it, you have to learn to adapt to it, accept it, and accept it with a smile in order to be able to control it. ”

Qin Yining pursed her lips and nodded.

In these matters, Cao Yuqing is much more transparent than her biological mother, and she doesn't dare to tell Sun, because she can't be explained if she says it, but many people will be anxious. Cao Yuqing is a person like her father, who can give her advice and explanations.

She understands all these truths. But someone can talk to her openly and honestly, and sincerely think about her, and this feeling really makes her heart feel full.

"I understand." Qin Yining hugged Cao Yuqing, "Thank you, Aunt Cao." ”

"Silly girl, thank you or something?" Cao Yuqing also hugged Qin Yining back, "You are an understanding person, you may not understand these truths, but you are just sad in your heart." But don't be pessimistic. Things haven't happened yet, everything is still going to turn around, what we have to do now is how to get out of the city to meet the prince, and the rest is secondary. Even if you have to worry about this, you have to wait until you really understand everything. ”

"It's me who worries about it." Qin Yining smiled.

Cao Yuqing said, "It's because I care that I'm worried." Holding Qin Yining's hand, he said, "Let's go back." You can't walk away for too long. ”

Qin Yining nodded, talked and smiled with Cao Yuqing and walked to the main house.

Qin Yining took the children to play crazy in the grange for two days, originally saying that they were going to go out of the city, but with Qin Huaiyuan's prior arrangement and Cao Yuqing's response, the group went out of the city in four batches, and everything went very smoothly after the disguise.

After the reunification of the city, everyone did not dare to delay along the way, so they went directly to the direction of the march.

"Lord Wang! The scouts had already found out the whereabouts of the princess and her party. Huzi strode into the camp tent, and said to the man who was discussing countermeasures with Ji Zeyu and Qin Huaiyuan, and his face was beaming with joy as if he was going to celebrate the New Year.

Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help laughing, "It seems that they have gone smoothly all the way." ”

Ji Zeyu teased, "Zhixi was still worried before, so I said that Uncle Qin's plan would not be a problem." "These days have been getting along day and night, Qin Huaiyuan's personality charm has infected the people around him, and Ji Zeyu's "Uncle Qin" in this life is called sincerely.

He said suddenly: "I'm concerned about it." Father-in-law, I'll go and greet you. ”

Qin Huaiyuan quipped, "If I say no, you can't listen to me, right?" ”

Xiao Xiao had already gotten up and walked out, and when he heard the words, he turned around and said, "Do you want to go with your father-in-law?" ”

Qin Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, got up and said while going outside: "You kid, have you been with Sister Yi for a long time, and you are still acting like this when you are an adult." ”

Qin Huaiyuan really regarded Xiao Xiao as his own child, his tone was intimate and gentle, Xiao Xiao also laughed, pulled Ji Zeyu and Mu Jinghu, and hugged Qin Huaiyuan: "Let's go, let's go together!" ”
