Chapter 5 Grandma’s Care

The palace lanterns were lit one by one, connecting with the stars in the sky.

Ankang Palace is much dimmer than the front palace, and it is also much quieter and deserted.

But here, she received the most loving care and care from her grandmother.

As soon as I entered the palace gate, I smelled the tempting aroma of food.

Kang Shaohua ran into the hall in three steps and two steps at a time: "Grandma Huang, Hua'er is here."

The Queen Mother of Dakang, who was wearing casual clothes, suppressed a smile: "You are so old, but you are still as greedy as a cat."

"It's only because the food here is so delicious!" Kang Shaohua rolled up his sleeves and sat down, "I'm so hungry."

Seeing the only bone and blood left by her son, she took up her chopsticks and started to eat it. The Queen Mother sighed: "You have to change your reckless temper. If you get married in the future, you won't be able to behave like this."

"Grandma!" Kang Shaohua was holding a piece of squab meat in his mouth. Hearing this, he put the meat into the small bowl in front of him and put down his chopsticks. "Have you also received the imperial edict?"

The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "What imperial edict?"

Kang Shaohua said quickly, "Concubine Qin called me just now and said that the queen wanted to find me a marriage partner. She also said that it was His Majesty's wish to ask my grandmother to find a way for me to stay in Dakang."

The Queen Mother sighed: "Hua'er, grandma knows what you are thinking. It's just that after so many years, the overall situation has been decided. Grandma will help you find someone you like and live in peace for the rest of your life..."

"It can't be decided!" Kang Shaohua shook his head, "If you feel that the overall situation is decided, how can you secretly support Hua'er?"

At first, both their ancestors and grandson thought that the Liang people's attack on Dakang was a wolf's ambition, and that Dakang's country was not as good as its talents and suffered a misfortune.

However, less than three years after Kang Yiqing succeeded to the throne, he ordered Dakang and Liang Guo to open trade and mutual trade and restore all diplomatic relations.

Although there is an element of peace between Zhou Qi, but the hatred of killing his father and brother!Tens of thousands of Dakang soldiers were stained with blood on the battlefield, how could they be written off in one stroke?
In her grief, the Queen Mother secretly investigated and discovered that those who died in the battle with the Liang people were all close followers of the late emperor and the prince.Kang Yiqing's supporters were unscathed, and the God's Blessing Army under the control of the Qu family even grew a lot...

"Grandma!" Kang Shaohua reached out and grabbed the Queen Mother's wrist, "Hua'er escaped from death, and his life cannot be in vain. My imperial grandfather, my father, the queen, and my mother cannot die in vain! I cannot stay in Dakang!"

The Queen Mother patted Kang Shaohua's hand with her backhand and said, "Zhou is a remote country and its national strength is not as good as Qi's. My grandmother has had some contact with Da Qi over the years. If you marry Qi, it will be possible to find out what happened in those days with the help of their power." It's a matter of... The premise is that you can marry a satisfactory one... Do you also think that the imperial grandmother is too greedy...''

Kang Shaohua smiled: "How can this be called greed? This is called grandmother's love..."

"You..." the Queen Mother sighed, "Now that the Daqi royal family is weak, only the Protector Qi Lang can help us! Grandma has already sent people to contact you many times! As long as Qi Lang is willing to marry you, it doesn't matter whether you are the emperor or the queen. It’s okay, they can’t stop it!”

Kang Shaohua said nothing.

"He has a bad reputation, but he holds a large number of soldiers and the lifeblood of the Qi Dynasty. He is in a high and powerful position and is not married. If you can."

"Grandma." Kang Shaohua smiled, "How could that god think so highly of me, a notorious and powerless princess?"

Two years ago, Qi Lang committed regicide and installed the infant royal son as emperor. He named himself Lord Protector and wielded power over both the government and the public.

"Actually, he is about the same age as the young general who saved you. Have you ever thought about what if he is the same person?" "I have thought about it many times! You have said it many times." Kang Shaohua's eyes suddenly dimmed. "But didn't all the people you sent back then say that the little brother never came back up after he lifted me off the ice?"

Besides, how could such a Bodhisattva have the heart to kill a king?

"Everything is possible. The child's body was not found back then, and God couldn't bear to accept such a good child..." The Queen Mother patted Kang Shaohua, "Okay, eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold. ”

"Yeah!" Kang Shaohua buried his head in eating.

After he was full, Kang Shaohua put down his bowl and chopsticks, "Grandma, you must have heard the news that Qu Taiwei's eldest grandson was killed, right? Look!"

Kang Shaohua handed the copper coin to the Queen Mother, "I happened to bump into the killer, and he beat the copper coin into a dart. I don't know where the master came from!"

The Queen Mother's eyes were obviously shocked, and she reached out and grabbed the copper coin: "Have you seen the killer?"

"I only saw a shadow." Kang Shaohua noticed the strangeness of the Queen Mother and asked quickly, "Does the Queen Mother know?"

"More than knowing..." The Queen Mother tried her best to suppress her emotions and took out a similar copper coin from her sleeve. She spread her trembling hands and said, "This copper coin penetrated your imperial grandfather's chest. After that, Liang Guo's one hundred thousand The army is approaching."

Kang Shaohua stared at the copper coins in the imperial grandmother's hand, and then at the copper coins in his own hand. The burning pain in his neck hit him again.

"You were only four years old at that time!" The Queen Mother tried her best to suppress the tears welling up. "Your imperial grandfather died suddenly. The enemy was in front of you. Your father went into battle with a gun and died on the battlefield. If it were not for the aid of Zhou and Qi, Dakang would have been dead." I’m just afraid that the country will be destroyed.”

"Hua'er!" The Queen Mother looked at Kang Shaohua with tears in her eyes, "You saw the shadow, right? Find him!"

Kang Shaohua tightly held the copper coin in his palm: "Hua'er has written it down!"

Kang Shaohua left the palace just before the palace door was locked, and the carriage drove slowly towards the auspicious alley northwest of the palace.

On the carriage, Kang Shaohua held the hot copper coin tightly.

Thinking about it, if it weren't for the care of the imperial grandmother, she would have died so many times over the years.

At the beginning, Concubine Qin tried again and again, but thanks to the imperial grandmother's many efforts, Concubine Qin finally gave up her intention to eradicate the problem.After confirming that she really didn't remember anything, Concubine Qin treated her like a biological aunt, and even won the title of princess for her.

The queen's plot to assassinate and destroy her reputation has never stopped.It was the imperial grandmother who blocked assassinations and frame-ups again and again for her.

When she was a child, she could not understand the grief of the imperial grandmother who lost her husband and son in just one year. She only knew that the imperial grandmother's palace was moved from the front palace to the harem, and she changed from the most noble empress of Dakang to the empress dowager who eats fasting and chants Buddha's name and ignores worldly affairs.

Perhaps because she was a girl, her grandmother was never willing to tell her too much. Even the death of her imperial grandfather and the death of her father were never told to her in detail.

It was she who pestered her aunt in the palace to tell her about her father.According to the palace population, her father, who had been established as a prince since his birth, was intelligent and kind, capable of both civil and military affairs, but it was a pity that God was jealous of talents.
In the midst of chaotic thoughts, the carriage slowly stopped.

"Master!" Xiao Jixiang pulled open the car door curtain and only glanced at it before shrinking back, "We were stopped."
