Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 690: They are both hard-spoken and soft-hearted, but they are also stubborn and refuse to bow their heads, and they always say things that hurt the most.
Cheng Shaoshang said with a hint of self-mockery:
"In the end, my mother just doesn't like Niao Niao, but it doesn't matter. Sooner or later, one day I will no longer be in my eyes. My mother can be out of sight and out of mind, and she doesn't have to worry about me anymore."

She said word by word:
"And to completely escape the clutches of my parents and fly high is the perfect marriage I want."

Cheng Shi frowned, not expecting that the gap between mother and daughter had reached this level.

Xiao Yuanyi felt even more upset, and her daughter had hurt her again, but no matter what, she couldn't just let it go and be angry.

So, he said coldly:
"As for marriage matters, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words, as long as I am here, I will not let you do whatever you want. Now you should go back to my house and think about your mistakes."

Cheng Shaoshang didn't say anything more. He bowed expressionlessly and walked out of the lobby.

Cheng Shi saw that Xiao Yuanyi still had a calm face and said to comfort:
"Yuan Yi, Niao Niao is still young, she will understand your painstaking efforts in the future."

Xiao Yuanyi looked confused:
"I just hope that Niao Niao can find a good man. I don't want her to live in the shadow of swords and swords from now on, but she just doesn't listen to me, my mother, and always contradicts me. Can I hurt her?"

Cheng Shi nodded:

"I know that because of the past, you always feel indebted to Niao Niao. You wish you could make everything for her so that she would avoid detours. But who can easily say whether marriage is good or bad?"

Xiao Yuanyi looked helpless and said:

"I can't say for sure about her marriage, but I can say that the family was a den that day. I can't just watch my daughter get married and suffer."

"There are so many good men in the world. Even if the Fourth Highness looks a little picky, he still takes good care of her, but she doesn't have no choice."

Sang Shunhua suddenly said:
"I know that Sifu is determined, and even ten cows will not be able to pull her back. I also know that Sifu sincerely thinks about Niao Niao. Otherwise, how could she send the maidservants who are marching and fighting with her to accompany her to protect Niao Niao."

"But you must not be reckless when dealing with Niao Niao."

"After all, how can we raise house sparrows and eagles in the same way? Her slim appearance and temperament all follow my concubine. She seems to have the hardest heart but is actually the softest temperament."

Cheng Shi also comforted:
"That's right. Niao Niao and Madam are both hard-spoken and soft-hearted. They are also stubborn and refuse to bow their heads. They always say the most hurtful things. From now on, you should give gentle guidance."

Xiao Yuanyi's eyes were thoughtful:

"Fortunately, neither His Royal Highnesses nor His Majesty the Holy One have mentioned getting engaged to Niao Nuo. It would be better to wait until we return to the capital to hire a master, start a family school in a proper manner, teach some sage teachings, and then give advice."

Cheng Shi nodded:

"This is a great idea, madam,"

Three days later, after Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi arranged to teach Cheng Zhi and his wife Tai Chi, they planned to return to the capital.

At the gate of the house, Cheng Shaoshang and Cheng Zhi said goodbye reluctantly.

"Third aunt, Niao Niao built the hot water pool for you. You must remember to take a dip in it every day so that you can sleep soundly."

"My aunt is also a little weak. You must take good care of yourself. If you feel any discomfort, call a doctor as soon as possible. Don't neglect it."

Cheng Shaoshang couldn't help crying as he spoke, and tears began to accumulate in his eyes.

Cheng Zhi said quickly:
"Niao Niao, don't worry, third uncle is here and he will definitely be able to take good care of your aunt."

He changed the topic and whispered:

"But when you go home, you must listen to your parents and stop being stubborn."

Cheng Shaoshang did not comment or disagree, but instead warned:

"Third uncle, please listen more to third uncle and don't think about it all day long."

Cheng Zhi heard the meaning of the words, clearly reminding himself not to trouble himself because of Huang Puyi's entanglement with his bride.

Sang Shunhua spoke softly:
"Niao Niao, take care of yourself, and don't forget what your aunt said to you."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he immediately remembered her heartfelt advice to him last night, and couldn't help but nod his head:

"Ah."

Seeing this, Xiao Yuanyi felt uncomfortable in her heart for no reason, and glanced with a hint of jealousy:
"Now I know that Yiyi said goodbye. She went to Hua County alone that day and didn't even look back when she left." Cheng Shi said meaningfully:

"How did Madam know that Niao Niao never looked back when she said goodbye? Could it be that Madam secretly chased her over to see her."

Seeing Xiao Yuanyi's silent expression, he laughed and said to Cheng Zhi and his wife:
"It's getting late, and we're ready to set off."

Cheng Zhi bowed his hands and saluted:

"Brother, sister-in-law, please take care of yourself along the way."

Cheng Kai came over and patted him on the shoulder:

"You guys take care too."

More than a month later.

Starry Night, Imperial City, Chongde Hall.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace was solemn, with Emperor Wen taking the main seat. Yang Jiao, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were kneeling in the front row below, while Ling Buyi, Xiao Yuehou and Grand Tutor Lou were sitting in the back row.

"King Yong was the first brother who followed me to conquer the world. The three serious injuries on his body were all caused by me."

"I originally didn't believe that he would plot rebellion. I thought it was his useless son who took it upon himself to resell arms and collude with Fan Chang."

"King Yong is nothing more than a restrained son. He just thought of issuing an edict to send him back to the capital. He didn't think that in the end it would appear that I was being sentimental."

Emperor Wen looked at everyone:

"You must have read Feng Yijun's military report. I want to hear your thoughts."

The third prince spoke first:
"Prince Yong and his son deliberately approached He Zhaojun, the daughter of General He, to break off their engagement with the Lou family, and then used the marriage banquet to attack General He's relatives, with the intention of coercing General He to join hands in rebellion."

"This was obviously planned for a long time, and the intention is to kill him."

"Father, I believe that we should immediately send troops to Feng Yi County to quell the rebellion, as a warning to others."

After saying this, the prince smiled slightly:
"Third brother, King Yong is the first veteran minister to follow his father's great cause. I feel that recruiting peace should be the first priority to show that my father is benevolent and has not forgotten the friendship between old ministers."

Suddenly, Xiao Yuehou in the back row sarcastically said:
"Everything always seems so harmonious once it comes into the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince. But since King Yong can do things that betray his kindness, how can he talk about the righteousness of a monarch and his ministers?"

The third prince agreed:

"What Xiao Yuehou said is true. If you want the court to be stable, you must use heavy rituals and kill one to serve as a warning to hundreds."

Taifu Lou said tactfully:
"The bravery of King Yong will never be inferior to that of Emperor Ru. Back then, only the Lord of the Huo family could match him. Third Prince, if you quell the rebellion so easily, who will quell it? In today's court, there will never be another Huo." Chong."

"Taifu Lou, what are you saying?" Xiao Yuehou was about to refute, but was interrupted by Ling Buyi:

"Everyone, General He's eldest son was killed in battle yesterday morning."

As soon as these words came out, except for Yang Jiao who was still sitting with his eyes lowered and unmoved, everyone else was shocked.

Emperor Wen said suspiciously:
"What? How do you know?"

Ling Buyi replied:
"I know an old friend. He has been friends with me for many years. He knows people well and is good at traveling around the world and making friends with knights all over the world. This news was sent by the knight he made friends from Feng Yi County at the risk of death yesterday."

Cao Cheng walked down, took the envelope from his hand, and delivered it to Emperor Wen.

Not long after, Emperor Wen sighed:
"General He and his nephew were so brave and good at fighting, but now his eldest son has fallen into disgrace."

Ling Buyi said again:

"General He went to Feng Yi County this time to attend his daughter's wedding banquet. He did not bring enough troops. After learning about King Yong's disobedience, he desperately blocked King Yong's troops in Feng Yi County. Otherwise, you all will also We cannot discuss calmly here, whether to fight or make peace.”

He handed over his hand and asked for orders:
"Your Majesty, I ask you to send troops to help immediately. I am willing to lead the troops to fight."
