Chapter 301: Mother's Expectation
"Welcome Regent!"
"The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Under Jingcheng, in a shout, Li Yunyi stepped forward alone, even though the Fugong Jiang Xiaocicada, who was closest to him, retreated to three zhang away.
It's royal etiquette.
Generally speaking, only the king who is in charge of a country has such treatment, and if he strictly follows the royal rules, Li Yunyi is not eligible to enjoy the worship of hundreds of officials outside the city. But—
Who cares?
He is Li Yunyi!
No matter what people outside Jingguo think of him, no matter how bad Li Yunyi's reputation is in Jingguo City, and how many squires and eunuchs he suffers from the hostility of the backs, here, in this Jingcheng, he is the only king!
Regent!
This kind of political correctness is still understood by everyone present, so their heads hang very low, and so does Li Yunxiang. He was even the most apprehensive of all, the first to kneel, and the first to surrender.
Li Yunyi is back.
Even the identity was restored.
So, as the pseudo-regent of Jingguo, Li Yunyi was once a stumbling block on the way to regain King Jing's power, what will his fate be?
Will you continue to be trapped as a waste king, or will you ......
Li Yunxiang didn't dare to think about it anymore, trembling until.
Syllable!
An ordinary military boot fell in front of him, Li Yunxiang's body shook violently, and he was about to tremble, when suddenly, his shoulders were held by a pair of big hands.
"Fourth brother works hard. ”
Laborious?
Li Yunxiang was confused, he didn't even remember how he stood up, looked up and looked ahead, only to see Li Yunyi smile and help up Cao Li, who was also kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile:
"Captain Cao, all the generals and adults have worked hard. ”
"Your wishes, this king has received it, and I ask the fourth brother to take you back to rest, this king will also enter the palace to meet the lord, so I will not send you adults. ”
Well?
In a few words, Li Yunyi is leaving?
Such a grand scene, and still in full view of the people of Jingcheng, Li Yunyi didn't do anything to show Wang Wei, and he was in such a hurry to leave?
Everyone was stunned, obviously they didn't expect today's event to end like this. However, Li Yunyi insisted on leaving, who could stop him, or ...... Who would dare to stop it?
To everyone's surprise, someone actually stood up.
It's Li Yunxiang.
I saw that his body was shocked, and it seemed that he had just woken up from Li Yunyi's support just now, stepped forward, and said:
"The seventh brother, the queen mother, the queen mother, and the lord of the country are waiting for the seventh brother in the apse. ”
Seventh brother?
As soon as Li Yunxiang said this, let alone the civil and military officials behind him, even Li Yunxiang himself was shocked and immediately regretted it.
Worst!
The mouth is too fast!
Li Yunxiang complained bitterly in his heart, and immediately hurriedly wanted to change his words, but when he saw Li Yunyi's eyebrows raised, he didn't seem to care, and the smile on his face deepened.
"The apse? Okay, I see. ”
Saying that, Li Yunyi passed straight past Li Yunxiang and the others, took the carriage that the latter and the others had prepared a long time ago, and took Gonggong Fu and the others through the gate of Jingcheng, and drove directly towards the palace, leaving Li Yunyi and the others stunned in place for a long time, until-
"Lord, we ......"
Cao Li reminded him that Li Yunxiang found that the eyes of the civil and military officials fell on him, and there was curiosity and surprise that could not be concealed.
"You ...... Obey the king's command, and go back first. ”
"Taiwei Cao, please accompany this king to the apse. ”
"Yes, my lord. ”
Cao Li surrendered, and the civil and military officials outside Jingcheng dispersed, although all this today was completely different from what they imagined, but it was normal for Li Yunyi to come back to meet the lord of the country as soon as possible, and they had nothing to do.
"It seems that I am afraid that only tomorrow morning will I be able to see our prince again......"
Outside the city, the crowd dispersed.
On the other side, Li Yunyi and others also came to the palace wall, Li Yunyi asked Gonggong Fu and others to wait outside, and then looked at the gate of the apse, and a faint smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
Familiar apse.
This is also where he lived since he was a child.
But now Li Yunyi is not reminiscing, a person's name bursts out in his mind.
"Cao Yingying, it's very good. ”
Cao Yingying.
Empress Dowager Jingguo, the biological mother of the lord Li Chen!
Hearing Li Yunxiang's reminder, Li Yunyi knew that this must be Cao Yingying's arrangement. After a long time, personally, Li Yunyi of course wants to see his biological mother Ning Cairen, but he is also the regent of Jingguo, and in terms of royal rules, he must meet the lord of the country first.
These are two different options.
Li Yunyi knew that the second option was in line with his current identity, but when he thought of not being able to see his biological mother Ning Cairen for the first time, he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. After all, when a wanderer returns, who wouldn't want to greet their mother first?
Cao Yingying obviously thought of this, so she asked Li Chen and her mother Ning Cairen to wait in the apse together, which is why Li Yunyi said that she was smart. And from the deeper part of Cao Yingying's proper arrangement, Li Yunyi saw the latter's ......
Compromise!
If she was still a little uncomfortable when she dealt with her two brothers last time, then Cao Yingying's initiative to show favor this time is another diametrically opposite attitude.
Distracting thoughts flashed in his heart, Li Yunyi quickly straightened his expression, and walked in with a smile, sure enough, as Li Yunxiang said, as soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Ning Cairen, Cao Yingying, and Li Chen standing in the direction of the main hall and looking eagerly towards this side, and when they saw him appear, Ning Cairen's tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Li Yunyi immediately bowed deeply, but before he could exhale Li Chen's name and surname, Cao Yingying hurriedly stepped forward:
"Brother Wang's car is tired, the journey has been hard, please sit down. Brother Wang didn't know, knowing that Brother Wang was coming back, the Queen Mother was chattering tightly in her heart, and she had lost a lot of weight in the past few days. ”
Li Yunyi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Cao Yingying, who didn't dare to look at him at all, and hurriedly dodged, Li Yunyi smiled lightly and didn't care, so he simply didn't salute, and looked at Ning Cairen who was crying with tears in his eyes.
"The child is not filial, which makes the mother worry. ”
Ning Cairen was very excited, but he grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and he was well versed in the way of etiquette, Cao Yingying could make Li Yunyi not salute her, she didn't dare, silently wiped her tears, and glanced at Li Chen next to her, Li Yunyi turned his head, Li Chen seemed to have been waiting for him to look over, walked up obediently, grabbed Li Yunyi's hand and said, "Uncle Seven Kings has worked hard." I heard my mother say that Uncle Seven Emperors entered the Eastern Qi Dynasty for our Jingguo, and also fought a battle with Da Zhou, but it was dangerous. Uncle Seventh Wang, you're not injured, are you?"
Eastern Qi, Great Zhou?
Li Yunyi glanced at the Queen Mother, smiled, reached out and touched Li Chen's head, and said, "Uncle Wang is fine." Don't worry, with Uncle Wang here, no one can hurt you, and the enemy will be beaten away by Uncle Wang. ”
"However, in a few years, when you grow up, you will have to protect the people of our Jingguo by yourself. Uncle Wang is not here during this time, how are you studying, and have you made any progress? Come, let Uncle Wang take a look. ”
Li Yunyi turned the conversation very easily, such a change may be blunt for an adult, but obviously Li Chen eats this set very much, and immediately went up to find books for Li Yunyi, saying that he had learned those ancient books in plain text during this time, and learned those martial arts moves, Li Yunyi smiled and nodded, but it was by no means perfunctory, and sometimes made comments, word by word, if anyone who didn't know Li Yunyi saw this scene here, they would really think that Li Yunyi was Li Chen's teacher.
When teaching Li Chen, Li Yunyi did not forget the empress dowager on the side, and when Li Chen had a flash of inspiration, his parents said briefly, and when he saw Li Chen's curiosity later, he simply put the books aside and told him about the experience of going out this time. Because he knows that even if he doesn't say it, Cao Yingying will say it.
Before you know it, time flies.
At noon, Li Yunyi didn't leave, and chose to have lunch with Li Chen's Empress Dowager Ning Cairen in the apse, and played with Li Chen all afternoon, and even ate dinner in the apse, until Li Chen was sleepy, Li Yunyi didn't say anything to leave.
"Queen Mother, Mother, you should also rest early, when the sons have time or the queen mother misses the sons, call the sons and daughters into the palace at any time. ”
"Okay, okay, after a tiring day, you should go and rest. ”
Ning Cairen's eyes when she looked at Li Yunyi were naturally full of tenderness and pity, but she watched Li Yunyi play with Li Chen and study for a day. Cao Yingying also hurriedly saluted Li Yunyi to leave, and after that, when her eyes fell on the dragon robe on Li Chen, who was half-asleep on the chair behind her, there was a trace of confusion in her eyes.
This is the confusion that has always existed in her heart since Li Yunyi became the regent of Jingguo, especially after witnessing Li Yunyi's various magical methods, the fierce combat power of the Huya Army, including the shock of the entire Jingguo government and opposition when the news that Li Yunyi was still alive some time ago, all made the confusion in her heart deeper and deeper.
This confusion has only one core problem -
Who is the future king of Jingguo?
Is it Li Yunyi, or her son Li Chen?
This is also the reason why she has always been a little hostile to Li Yunyi, although she knows that if there is no Li Yunyi, let alone the current position of the queen mother, even her life will be gone a long time ago, but when she thinks that all kinds of power in Jingguo are in the hands of Li Yunyi, she still feels extremely uncomfortable.
None of them.
It's just a mother's selfishness towards her own children.
If there is no accident, this confusion and selfishness will definitely intensify in her heart, and even one day it will completely explode and become a hidden danger for Jingguo, but this time, when Li Yunyi recovers his identity and returns to China, the road is far away, more than ten days, is it not just that Ning Cairen has been thinking about Li Yunyi?
The same goes for her.
But what she saw was more of the dangerous turmoil that Li Yunyi encountered when he went out on this trip, especially the battle with Da Zhou outside Beiguan......
Dangerous!
Death!
Imperial power is important, but what if it is compared to Li Chen's life?
Cao Yingying is a woman, she doesn't realize at all that Li Chen, since he is the lord of the country, he can sit in Jingcheng and let these dangerous crises be fought by the generals under his command. But it is precisely because of the lack of this part of common sense, or that she cross-contrasts the shadows of Li Yunyi and Li Chen too strongly in her heart, this horror from the depths of her soul suddenly crushes the confusion that she often buries in her heart.
Or......
"Be a comfortable lord of the country for the rest of your life...... It's pretty good, too. ”
Cao Yingying muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear, her heart knotted herself, and when she stared at Li Chen who was sleeping on the chair again, where was there still a little desire for power in her eyes?
Only, the pure expectation of being a mother.
......
Here, Li Yunyi didn't know that because of the rumors inside Rijing City during this period of time, it was the reason why Cao Yingying suddenly changed so much. Of course, even if he knew, he didn't care.
It's just that when he walked out of the apse and was in the night, he suddenly found that there were two more people next to Gonggong Fu and others who were waiting outside.
Li Yunxiang and Cao Li.
......
