Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Last Resort

said that Zheng Qingluan was shocked by the eldest princess's suggestion, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. =

I saw the eldest princess take her hand and said with a wry smile, "I know that you only think that the emperor wants to separate Feng'er and Xiao Jiajun." But I also want to say, this time you really misunderstood the emperor!" her expression was slightly cold, "It's not to blame you for misunderstanding, can my own brother not know about it?" He has indeed done a lot of things that are not on the table before, no wonder you don't trust him!" She looked melancholy and sighed, "But if you really talk about it, the emperor's throne is like sitting on the ** bag made by our Xiao family, maybe it will explode at any time! The emperor can dispatch soldiers and generals, except for the men and horses guarding the capital, there is really no more!"

The eldest princess's voice was low, as if floating from a distant place, "The Song family was originally a retainer of the previous dynasty, but they rebelled against their own masters and established the current imperial court!" The corners of her mouth showed a somewhat mocking smile, "Back then, in order to snatch this country, the first emperor swore to share the world with the nobles and never confiscate military power! The old man of the Xiao family is the only witness!"

I never thought there would be such a thing!

"It's really confusing!" Zheng Qingluan blurted out, I don't know whether to say the first emperor, or Old Man Xiao, maybe both.

"Hehe!" the eldest princess smiled clearly, "Even you, a little girl, understand the truth, don't the emperors and them understand! But each has its own ambitions! We, the Song family, have set an example for the nobles! They must have felt that the Song family can succeed now, and who knows that their own family is not the second Song family, and they can also sit on this splendid river and mountain!"

Zheng Qingluan nodded, these nobles today may not have such thoughts in their hearts! But the emperor's one-handed balancing technique is perfect, so that the nobles are suspicious of each other, and they are not twisted into a rope!

"Therefore, the Song family's country is sitting!" The eldest princess looked obscure, "If you keep the Song family, you will keep me! With me, the eldest princess, standing tall, Feng'er will always have a trace of vitality no matter how big the mistake is!"

It cannot be said that this is unreasonable! If this country changes his surname, Xiao Yunfeng's situation will only become more and more difficult! At that time, he will not only be the feared commander of the Xiao family's army, but also the nephew of the Song family!

"Therefore, the emperor has also left a lot of leeway for the Xiao family!" The eldest princess changed her words and went around again, "The emperor is now wanting Feng'er to help him seize the military power of various nobles, how could he think of sending him to fight against any Japanese robbers?"

"The timing is so coincidental!" Zheng Qingluan's eyes flashed, "You are suspicious, this is simply because the nobles knew the news in advance, so they connected with each other, colluded with foreign thieves, and came to make a move to leave the mountain!"

The eldest princess nodded, looking at Zheng Qingluan's expression with a little more approval, "Yes! Whether it's a pirate or a pirate, who can tell!"

"You are worried, they take the opportunity to make trouble in the northwest to contain the emperor's sight, buy time for them, and calmly arrange!" Zheng Qingluan looked at the eldest princess with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"That's right!" the eldest princess of Jiangyang smiled happily, "But they didn't expect that the Xiao family still has you!"

If you don't enter the Xiao family, you can't count it as the Xiao family! Zheng Qingluan wanted to say this. But if she dares to say this now, I don't know how many of them can destroy her immediately! So, the Xiao family is the Xiao family! As long as she can live, anyone's family will be successful! It's not that she is spineless, it's really the life of the Zheng family, and she can't help it!

Zheng Qingluan laughed dryly, and said in his heart, what did this eldest prince say that could make you make such a determination! Can I say thank you for looking up to us?

"You have won the award!" Zheng Qingluan's face was calm, "This is a big deal! I listen to Master Hou!" Anyway, in front of the prospective mother-in-law, it is always right to be docile and respect Xiao Yunfeng.

Sure enough, the eyes of the eldest princess of Jiangyang were full of satisfaction and pleasure, "You should think about it too!

This is the words of the eviction of guests! Calling herself 'Bengong', it can be seen that this eldest princess is actually already putting pressure on her! There is no room for her choice, even if Xiao Yunfeng disagrees, she convinces Xiao Yunfeng to go!

One minute she was a kind elder, and the next minute she became a high-ranking eldest princess!

Zheng Qingluan didn't have too much expression, she stood up and saluted solemnly, "Obey Your Highness's orders!"

Such an attitude is respectful and detached. The choked eldest princess stared dryly!

This little girl is really a hedgehog, and she can't touch it at all, and she really can't stand the slightest grievance! How can a person live in the world without being wronged? She is a dignified princess and can't escape from it, not to mention her background! It is also thanks to her own cleverness and neat mouth, otherwise, such a high-spirited person can suffocate herself to death!

Zheng Qingluan didn't know that the eldest princess was both happy and worried about her character! she was really considering the eldest princess's proposal. She is not worried about the affairs of the northwest, but she is very worried that her family will not agree, and she is worried about her!

"Master, but what's on your mind?" asked the Hundred and Twelve Laminates.

Baiyi immediately widened his eyes, "Bai'er! presumptuous!" How can the master's affairs be inquired casually, this is really arrogant.

Baier's face turned white immediately, this master was easy-going, so that she almost forgot such rules.

Zheng Qingluan waved her hand, "Let's get up! It's okay to be casual in normal times! As long as you are measured in formal occasions!" She saw Baier stand up, so she changed the topic, "If we go to the northwest, what do you think?"

"Are you going to the army?" Baier's eyes lit up, sweeping away the decadence just now, "It would be great to be able to enter the barracks!

"Frivolous!" Baiyi hated to sew his sister's mouth immediately. That is, the master has a wide heart and does not go to his heart. If you are a small-minded person, you must not be misunderstood. What's the matter? I've wronged you! I don't want to be a slave anymore! I want to be a general!

Zheng Qingluan smiled, seeing Bai Yi's eyes on the white face, and the latter looked confused. Zheng Qingluan smiled even more, "Okay! I'm not a stingy person! It's rare that Bai'er can have such ambition, what do you train her to do!"

"If she doesn't change her unobtrusive problem, she will have to cause trouble for her master sooner or later!"

This is also polite, she no longer spoke, just waved her hand, "I'll lie down for a while, you can rest too." ”

After this trip, I thought I couldn't sleep, but I didn't expect to sleep very sweetly.

It wasn't until there was a thunderclap and lightning lit up almost the entire sky that Zheng Qingluan was awakened. It's already dark, and I don't know what time it is.

As soon as she sat up, one hundred and two came in and served her to get up, "But the thunder disturbed the master?"

"Hmm!" Zheng Qingluan frowned, listening to the thunder rolling from the sky, one after another, the voices overlapped, making people feel a little more uneasy, "What time is it now?"

"Soon!" Bai Yi responded, "Hou Ye has not come back yet." ”

It is from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. It's nine o'clock in the evening, and in modern times, nine o'clock in the evening, for many people, the real nightlife has not yet begun. And for ancient times, it was already very late, and the people who had become * had already fallen asleep.

"If I hadn't left the capital, I wouldn't have rushed to Xishan in such weather. If you're already on the way here, I'm afraid you'll have to get drenched in the rain!" Zheng Qingluan watched the lightning and thunder fall, pouring down the heavy rain, and couldn't help but worry and anxiety. The raindrops falling in the waterhole outside the window stirred up the clear sound of the water, which was inexplicably irritating.

"Pass the word!" Zheng Qingluan groaned slightly, and finally went down according to his own thoughts, "Prepare hot water, ginger soup, and clean clothes." Then let the kitchen prepare noodles, and if the Hou Ye comes back, serve a bowl of noodle soup. It both quenches hunger and dispels cold. ”

Seeing that Baier immediately went down to order, he couldn't help but tell again, "Put on an umbrella, change the clogs and go out again!"

"You, you're really worried!" Baiyi smiled slightly, "This courtyard is built, and the corridor is connected to the corridor, where is it raining?"

Zheng Qingluan laughed, and asked Baiyi to pull up his hair at will, "I have to tear it down in a while, it's troublesome!"

Wait for Xiao Yunfeng to brave the rain and return to the other courtyard. From afar, he saw that the door of the main courtyard was closed, and he knew that his mother was already asleep, so he didn't bother. went directly to Zheng Qingluan's yard. The gate of the courtyard is open, and two large lanterns are hung on each side, which makes people's hearts warm. As soon as he entered the door, the whole courtyard seemed to come alive, and the greetings and smiling faces made his expression soften a little.

The rain was still very heavy, Xiao Yunfeng was soaked, and as soon as he entered the door, Zheng Qingluan pushed him into the bathroom, "Come in, soak for a while and come out again, and drink the ginger soup on the small tea stove by the way!"

Xiao Yunfeng looked at the little girl in a white jacket and green skirt, floating out lightly. My heart softened all of a sudden, I picked up my clothes with a smile, jumped into the pool, sneezed a few times, and the pores on my body really stretched out under the soak of hot water. After pouring the thick ginger soup down, I felt that I was really alive.

Zheng Qingluan's crisp voice came from outside, "Let's set the meal!" A few people who follow Hou Ye will be treated the same as Hou Ye, don't be sloppy!"

Xiao Yunfeng nodded secretly when he heard this, and sighed in his heart, either everyone says that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous wife!

By the time he had freshened up, changed into dry clothes, and walked out of the bathroom, the hall was already set up, hot noodles with beef bone broth, sprinkled with coriander and chives and jasmine, giving off an enticing aroma. A plate of red oil beef and a plate of spicy rabbit pieces make people feel revelry. A plate of steamed eggplant with garlic and a plate of cucumbers, refreshing and refreshing, with the best greasy relief!

Xiao Yunfeng killed a big bowl of noodles, half a plate of beef, and a whole plate of rabbit meat in three or two before he really eased up. Looking at Zheng Qingluan's eyes, they were soft and dripping.

Zheng Qingluan was uncomfortable by him, blushing and ordering his subordinates to add more vegetables and rice, and said with a smile, "I'm not very hungry, seeing that you eat sweetly, I'll accompany you to eat some, today's beef bone soup is very good!"
