After fleeing famine, I rely on space to raise cubs

Chapter 218
Su Qing never thought of it, she hadn't thought of a countermeasure yet, Sun Xuelin had already found the queen mother with the gift brought back from the Dirong tribe, and Su Qing happened to be talking with the queen mother.

After Sun Xuelin paid his respects, he handed the things in his hand to Nanny Liu, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, this is the pearl powder that the old minister brought back from the Kacha tribe. Don't underestimate such a bottle. The asking price among the people is 50 taels of silver per gram. , the pearls of the Kacha tribe are the most precious."

The queen mother looked at the small bottle of pearl powder, which was white and delicate, and she couldn't help nodding, "This product looks good. I also heard that the pearl powder of the Kacha tribe is very famous, and the asking price is not less than 50 taels. I can still ask for 100 taels of silver, is this thing really so magical?"

Sun Xuelin smiled and said: "You are a woman, Queen Mother, and women know these things best. The old minister is a rough man who has been traveling outside for many years. I just heard that this pearl powder has something unique to the Kacha tribe that can turn white. This was given to me by Prince Madan and the patriarch himself."

When he said this, he looked at Su Qing, "This is Princess Fushou. She really looks outstanding. No wonder the six princesses said that Princess Fushou is the most beautiful in the palace. Even the old officials couldn't take their eyes away."

Su Qing curtly said: "General Sun's false praise, I'm just a man, I don't deserve such praise from General Sun."

Sun Xuelin stroked his beard and laughed loudly; "The princess is too humble. No wonder my grandson said that the princess is a rare low-key. I heard the name of Princess Fushou at the border. Prince Madan told the old minister when I want to meet the princess."

The queen mother glanced at Su Qing, and said with a smile: "Oh, she is a girl, how come she has spread so far away, you are not coaxing me, I finally recognized such a daughter, I can't just marry people."

Su Qing glanced at the queen mother gratefully, the queen mother was helping her.

Sun Xuelin smiled and said: "Queen Mother, you are very wise. I think that when the late emperor was here, you recommended me to guard the border between the Di Rong tribe and Daliang. Fortunately, I lived up to expectations and did not embarrass the Queen Mother. Feel infinitely emotional.”

When Sun Xuelin said this, he sighed, as if recalling the past.

The Queen Mother followed Sun Xuelin's words and said: "That's because of your own ability. I think that when the Di Rong clan rebelled, you were the one who turned the situation around with your own ingenuity. If it wasn't for your own promise, I wouldn't dare to do it alone." Recommended."

Sun Xuelin's eyes were deep, and he looked at the Queen Mother and said: "When Hangu Pass was broken, how many people died in Huangquan, the royal family was in turmoil, Youzhou Kingdom was eyeing, and the Dirong people should not be underestimated. They wanted to break through our Daliang border, but after I went there, I discovered that the various tribes of the Dirong tribe united together and took the lead in attacking the people at our border gates. Looking back on those days, they also narrowly escaped."

Sun Xuelin looked out of the window, "I still remember that not long after I went there, I fell ill because of acclimatization. If the queen mother hadn't rushed me to send the imperial medicine from the palace in eight hundred miles, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive."

The Empress Dowager also seemed to be lost in memory, she was silent for a moment, and said: "Yes, at that time, there were internal and external troubles, and that kind of thing happened again in Hangu Pass. How many people lost their sons, how many children lost their fathers, and the whole Daliang fell into grief. It's really difficult, if you hadn't defended the Dirong tribe from attacking, I don't know what kind of event will happen."

The whole room fell into an inexplicable sadness. Su Qing had never seen such a queen mother. Her thoughts seemed to return to a far away place, and the process of recalling was not so beautiful.

Her hand was tightly clutching the teacup in her hand, and her long nails were bent, as if telling the people next to her that the queen mother was not in a good mood at the moment.

Su Qing was silent for a moment, then sat beside the empress dowager and said with a smile: "Mother, General Sun must have done something to Daliang, that's why the emperor was promoted to the position of general, and now they are moving in a good direction. The empress should be happy."

"General Sun, the empress mother is old and can't stand the toss of the years. Before, the whole country was used to protect Daliang. The general is also a member of Daliang. He must have different feelings for Daliang, the emperor, and the queen mother. I admire the general very much. I still remember the trip to Hangu Pass this time, King Jing and the generals all blocked their lives, it was really difficult and dangerous.

The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Su Qing, "People from Youzhou Kingdom entered Hangu Pass again. Jing'er is indeed dangerous. You are by your side and you understand the process. War is not something that can be explained clearly in two words. It is a sacrifice." to get results.”

Su Qing took the Queen Mother's arm, "So, we all love you, so we rush forward recklessly. I believe General Sun is the same."

Sun Xuelin raised his head and laughed twice, "What the princess said is very true. It is the old minister's fault. You shouldn't bring up the old things. Queen Mother, don't blame me."

The queen mother waved her hand, swept away the previous haze, and said with a smile: "When people are old, they always like to think about the past. I was hooked by you, but I forgot that it is a happy event for you to return in triumph. I plan to let the emperor clean up the dust for you. Celebrate."

Sun Xuelin quickly bowed and said, "Thank you Queen Mother."

Turning his eyebrows, Sun Xuelin said: "When I mentioned this, I remembered that in the early court today, the prince Ma Dan of the Kacha clan wanted to come to Daliang to pay homage. If we arrive in Liyang in the next day, it is better to hold it together, which is also the wish of the minister."

The queen mother also knew that Sun Xuelin proposed to let Su Qing get married, she didn't say anything, she just nodded and said: "That's fine, you have the heart."

Sun Xuelin said a few more words, without mentioning anything about Jiang's family, and then slowly withdrew.

The queen mother said: "Qing'er, send General Sun off."

Su Qing saluted and agreed, and said to Sun Xuelin, "General Sun, please."

Walking out of Zhaoyang Palace, Sun Xuelin kept smiling and praised Su Qing, "The princess is young and promising, I finally see it today."

Su Qing looked down at the blue stone slab, raised his head and smiled brightly, "General Sun, there are no outsiders now, so why bother to lift me up, but just playing with me in the applause, General Sun must have looked down on me too much."

Su Qing crossed his hands, "It's really time for the general to come back. The second son has just been buried, and you have no chance to meet."

Sun Xuelin's expression changed, he didn't expect Su Qing to say it directly, but Sun Xuelin was an old fox after all, still smiling, "The dead are already dead, the living must continue to live, the princess is smart, I think Let's see how you break this situation."
