Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 117 This place of peace of mind is my hometown.

Stepping into this small courtyard for the first time.

Cao Ang couldn't help slowing down, and started to look around.

According to what Xun Yu reported to him.

This set of yards is a front and back yard, the area is relatively small, but the environment is rare and comfortable.

The hall for receiving guests overlaps with the front yard. Fortunately, no one comes here every day. Cao Ang has already sent people to protect this place secretly.

After crossing the front yard, it is the backyard where the female relatives live, and the environment is more secluded and quiet.

And the whole yard is the most wonderful design.

As mentioned earlier, the small gate connected to Cao Ang’s house, as long as you pass through the small gate, you can freely shuttle between the two mansions separated by a wall.

Of course, the small door is locked every day.

And the keys are all here with Cao Ang.

really not bad!
"Cao... General Cao!"

Just when Cao Ang's eyes lingered.

A woman gracefully came out of a room in the front yard, and bumped into Cao Ang who was standing with her hands behind her back.

He couldn't help but hesitated and shouted.

Hearing the sound, Cao Ang hurriedly turned his head to look.

It's Tang Ji!
This is the girl named by Cao Ang as the girl next door.

The winter is cold and the cool wind is biting.

It is also impossible for women to wear a thin dress, as Tang Ji did.

Today, he was wearing a peach-pink skirt with a deep skirt, a green white long gown covering his upper body, and a fluffy red jacket on the outside.

Although the slim and moving body is completely covered up.

However, the firmly tied belt of the deep clothing highlighted his slender waist and slender figure.

Deep hem to the ankle.

Cao Ang regretted that he couldn't see anything except a pair of embroidered shoes.

Of course, he wasn't a pervert, he just subconsciously felt regretful.

Look up.

Perhaps because of the fact that she lived in a secluded place, there were not a few jade hairpins left that were originally worn in buns to show her luxurious status.

But this did not hinder Tang Ji's beauty in the slightest, passing through the distance between the two of them, rushing towards her.

Small and delicate face, graceful eyebrows like a distant mountain, moist eyes that seemed to hesitate, and red lips that were slightly parted when he called his name.

Like the beloved creation of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Tang Ji was holding a stack of bamboo slips in her arms, standing pretty by the door, like a picture of a lady with famous poems inscribed on it, the beauty is pleasing to the eye.

……

Only a few breaths of work.

Cao Ang has finished looking at it.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked quickly towards Tang Ji, while speaking in a kind tone.

"Is your highness still used to living here? The queen mother and your majesty are in the backyard at this moment?"

While speaking, Cao Ang stretched out his hands and took the bamboo slips that Tang Ji was holding.

Seeing the young man in front of him, he took the heavy object in his arms as a matter of course without asking any questions.

Tang Ji looked a little complicated for a while.

What a considerate and kind man.

No wonder the queen mother fell in love with him.

It's a pity that the queen mother is the queen mother of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Ang is a courtier of the Han Dynasty.

There is bound to be a bad relationship between the two!
After entrusting the bamboo slips to Cao Ang, Tang Ji saluted slightly, and then said softly.

"Your Majesty is studying in the backyard, and the Queen Mother is teaching and urging. It's just that a few letters were left out in the study, and I forgot to bring them over for a while, so I was sent to take them back."

Cao Ang nodded.

Then he raised his chin in the direction of the backyard, signaling Tang Ji to lead him the way.

See this situation.

The expression on Tang Ji's face became more and more complicated.

Sure enough, as soon as I came back, I couldn't wait to see my mother. I really couldn't wait...

To be honest, Tang Ji had mixed feelings about Cao Ang's sudden appearance in the courtyard at this moment.

What is worrying is naturally the appearance of Cao Ang, which means that the relationship between him and the Queen Mother will continue to develop.

The red line between the two is getting tighter and tighter. I am afraid that with the passage of time and the deepening of their relationship with each other, it will never be able to be cut off.

But at the same time, she felt faintly happy.

Because when Cao Ang was not around, even if their family stayed in this small courtyard, the sense of insecurity would always surround them.

I don't know what's going on outside.

How will the nobles of the royal family who have died on the surface be arranged, and what will be the life waiting for them next?
And whether one day, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed in from outside, caught them, and then killed them all, these are unknown.

Many unknown fears.

Worrying about the future made Tang Ji panic.

Therefore, the appearance of Cao Ang made her feel happy again.

After all, this means that there is at least a solid guarantee for the rest of life.

Cao Ang, General Cao!

This man who rescued them from many dangerous situations is synonymous with security!
Therefore, it is said that there are mixed joys and sorrows.

……

Through a courtyard gate.

After walking a few steps inside, Cao Ang vaguely heard the sound of reading.

They were all obscure words, Cao Ang couldn't understand them anyway, but it was definitely Liu Bian's voice.

As the distance draws closer.

You can also hear the words of a woman correcting mistakes and teaching in the gaps between reading.

This made Cao Ang couldn't help feeling emotional.

Thinking that I was a high-achieving student, but in this era, I have become a big illiterate.

What ancient Chinese classics, academic works, he knows those Chinese characters individually, but when they are combined, he is confused.

On the other hand, the Queen Mother, although she has no family background, was not born in a family of poetry and writing.

But definitely self-taught in the palace.

Moreover, I have learned a certain level by myself, and my mastery of these ancient Chinese classics is not low.

Otherwise, Liu Bian would definitely not be taught.

this woman...

What should I do if I am more knowledgeable?
……

"Squeak~"

The sound of the door being pushed open, and the accompanying footsteps, immediately stopped the emperor from reciting.

Together with the queen mother, their eyes turned to the door in unison.

I thought it was Tang Ji who came back with the letter in her arms.

Who would have expected the next second.

That extremely familiar handsome face appeared in front of the two of them.

First stunned.

Then I was ecstatic!

"General Cao! You are finally back!"

Liu Bian threw down the letter directly, stood up suddenly, and rushed to Cao Ang like a gust of wind.

His tone was hurried, and he shouted excitedly, obviously he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

See the emperor so reckless.

On the contrary, Cao Ang calmed down.

First, he put the stack of slips in his hand on the table next to him, and then he saluted Liu Bian and the Queen Mother one by one.

"I see Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother!"

I haven't waited for him to worship.

Liu Bian decisively stretched out his hands, helped him up, and said repeatedly.

"Don't be too polite, don't be too polite, General Cao please sit down here!"

The Son of Heaven acts like this.

On the contrary, Cao Ang felt more and more like a child, not like a 16-year-old adult at all.

Obedient to Liu Bian's tugging, he sat down beside him with a happy face.

Listening to the chanting in the mouth of the emperor.

Cao Ang's gaze has already caught up with the queen mother who is beside him.

When the two looked at each other, sparks seemed to splash at the intersection, and there was even a faint fiery look in the eye sockets.

Regardless of Cao Ang or the Queen Mother.

It's all hot!

It's just after looking at each other for a dozen breaths.

The Queen Mother suddenly looked away.

Immediately afterwards, the mouth pursed slightly, and the corners of the mouth turned up.

The slightly hooked lips, which were already as charming as a demon fox, were now even more like a crescent moon, as if they could hang an oil bottle.

This is expressing dissatisfaction with yourself!

Cao Ang knew it well.

It's even more fun.

this woman...

She can also act like a baby, and pamper her to another level!

……

At this moment, Empress Dowager He looked at Cao Ang.

His eyes were full of affection and sweetness.

That joyful emotion burst out from her chest as if it was about to turn into substance.

This little friend!
It was agreed to go and return quickly, why did it take such a long time to go, making people wait anxiously!

Damn!

Wan'er and Bian'er are really ignorant, they are still on the sidelines at this moment.

I don't know if the queen mother can't wait, she wants to pounce on General Cao, all kinds of coquettish rolling, lingering and crooked?
This young gentleman is also real!

I don't know how to pick a good time to come.

This evening, when the meal is approaching, there must be a full staff.

If it's darker at night, come here in the dark.

Wouldn't it be quiet then?
At that time, it was not like it is now, with two big red candles sticking out beside it.

The empress dowager's heart turned a lot, and her thoughts changed several times in succession.

Cao Ang didn't know about this.

Just looking at the pouting mouth of the delicate young woman.

He couldn't help but said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have lived here for a while, but what's not to your liking?"

"If there is anything wrong, you must tell me so that I can make people rectify it immediately."

I asked Tang Ji this question before, but she didn't get an answer, so I decided to ask it again.

But before Liu Bian said anything.

The queen mother took the initiative to step forward.

Then put on an elegant, dignified, majestic appearance, and said solemnly.

"General Cao has a heart. Although this place is not as spacious and elegant as the palace, it is a rare and quiet place."

"Besides, I also know that this place is just a place of convenience, so I don't have any dissatisfaction."

It sounds like a scene.

This is actually the Queen Mother's innermost thoughts.

She really didn't think there was anything wrong.

……

It is different from Tang Ji's fear of the unknown, and Liu Bian's resistance to this boring life.

She was waiting for Cao Ang's return with full of ease.

If it were the Empress Dowager He who was a few months ago, she would definitely not be content with the status quo. She would only think about when she could return to Luoyang City and return to her familiar North and South Palaces.

Take back her power and continue to be the mother of her son, the queen mother of a country.

But today is different.

The appearance of Cao Ang, the little things between him and Cao Ang, and the relationship have undergone substantial changes.

They have already quietly changed her mind.

What are you going to do in this deep and quiet palace?
No matter how big the place is, no matter how many court ladies and eunuchs serve her, it is just a cold cage.

And no matter how small the place is, no matter how simple the environment is, no matter how ordinary the living conditions are.

As long as she thought that Cao Ang would come back soon and be by her side soon, then everything would be hopeful.

If there is a bright moon, it will make the humble room shine!

Therefore, although Cao Ang is not in Dingtao County these days, the Queen Mother lives in this small courtyard, reading and writing every day, or teaching her son to learn.

I am also happy.

What is there to say?

This place of peace of mind is my hometown!
……

And after the mother rushes to answer.

Of course, Liu Bian couldn't stand up and refute, so he could only nod submissively one after another, expressing that he and his mother had the same opinion.

But he's actually really boring.

Liu Bian is not afraid of poor conditions. After all, although he is the emperor, he has not enjoyed wealth for a long time.

His father, Liu Hong, didn't dote on his son. Before he became the emperor, his living conditions were naturally not that good.

Therefore, like living in an ordinary folk house, this kind of thing that only lowers the standard of living is completely acceptable to him.

But it's so boring!

Those outside cannot come in, and those inside cannot go out, just like staying in a besieged city.

What he faces all day is just these few characters, his mother, his concubine, and the amazing Mrs. Yin who only shows up once.

In the palace before, at least there were eunuchs who tried different ways to amuse him, and the faces he saw every day were different.

Beyond that is the environment.

Just such a small two-entry house, the display of the scenery will never change.

Now he almost counted the wall bricks inside and outside his house clearly.

I feel that if I continue to stay like this, even if I cover my eyes at night, I can move freely in the dark.

Every day he either sleeps or is in a daze, or is forced by his mother to study, this kind of life makes him irritated.

It's been fine for a month now.

If it goes on like this.

Liu Bian felt that he had to collapse.

Of course Liu Bian was not willing to let him go back to the palace and endure the fearful life day and night.

But at the moment, which is like house arrest, Liu Bian is quite conflicted to be honest.

Seeing that the mother had already answered General Cao.

This problem will soon be revealed.

If you don't speak out your appeal, you will once again enter into an indefinite wait.

Liu Bian gritted his teeth.

Swallowing his saliva, he forcibly summoned up his courage and said boldly.

"General Cao, is it possible that the days to come will be the same as they are now, and you can only stay in this courtyard all the time, can't you leave half a step away?"

……

"Bian'er, don't be rude!"

The Empress Dowager just reprimanded Liu Bian, which made the boy tremble all over.

Cao Ang took the initiative to wave his hand to the Queen Mother.

Then he looked kindly, and said in a gentle tone, "Does Your Majesty want to go out for a walk?"

For Liu Bian, a half-grown child.

Cao Ang is still very caring and loving.

Although the age difference between the two is very small, the gap between their minds can be said to be like an abyss.

Plus the relationship between himself and the Queen Mother.

Cao Ang has always regarded Liu Bian as his adopted son, although he does not currently have such a status.

As a courtier of a great man, he dared not openly accept the king of a great man as his adopted son.

But that's what he thought.

And under the encouragement of Cao Ang's gentle eyes.

Liu Bian summoned up his courage and nodded heavily.

"Ok!"
