Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 989

Tang Huan raised her lips triumphantly, and then gave him a wink!

Xiao Baorui, who was teased, felt a pang in his heart.

"Ma'am, someone is looking for you!"

Just when Xiao Baorui was feeling distracted, Steward Zhou came to the backyard in a hurry.

"Who?" Xiao Baorui kept a straight face, his eyes were terribly frightening.

Steward Zhou couldn't help shivering, then lowered his head and said respectfully, "It's the two brothers Yang and Kang."

Tang Huanxi already knew about the news that Cheng Xuening had passed away three days ago.

Although Yang Kang was only six years old, he was quite calm, and took Yang Jian to handle Cheng Xuening's funeral properly.

What surprised Tang Huanxi was how they came to the door suddenly.

Front yard, flower hall.

Tang Huanxi ordered Housekeeper Zhou to serve some refreshments, and then his eyes fell on the faces of the two brothers Yang Kang who were kneeling down.

"Your mother's funeral has been taken care of?"

"Well," Yang Kang kowtowed respectfully towards her, "Fortunately, you lent me 50 taels of silver. My mother's funeral is still decent."

"The person has already left, and the funeral is meaningless no matter how decent it is."

"You're right." Yang Kang nodded, then took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to her, "This is a letter from my mother, please read it."

Tang Huanxi immediately glanced at Hongfu who was standing to the side, and the latter immediately took the letter over.

After quickly scanning the letter, Tang Huanxi felt mixed emotions.

"Your mother... what else did you say before you left?"

"She said that you are a soft-hearted person, so she told me that no matter what, she will stay in the garrison mansion with her brother." Yang Kang slowly raised his eyes and confessed frankly.

Tang Huanxi didn't speak, but fell silent.

Yang Kang didn't say much, he just pulled Yang Jian and knelt down quietly.

A quarter of an hour later.

Tang Huanxi looked at him and smiled slightly, "If I don't want to keep you guys, why don't you bring your younger brother to kneel here forever?"

Meeting her gaze, Yang Kang gently shook his head.

"You are the current empress. It is only natural for us to bow down to you. What's more, I still owe you 50 taels of silver! If you don't want to take me and my brother in, we will leave."

"Then where are you going?"

"The world is so big, there is always a place for us."

"You are open-minded."

Tang Huanxi couldn't help but smiled, "Since it's your mother's last wish, then you and your brother should stay in the garrison. But I have one request."

"Please speak."

"You are smart and sensitive, and your younger brother looks very strong. So you stay in the Garrison Mansion and study hard, whether it is literary or martial arts. I hope you choose a path that you like and is the right one. When you grow up , How about serving the court again?"

"Okay!" Yang Kang nodded immediately, his eye sockets turned red with emotion.

He pulled Yang Jian towards Tang Huanxi's direction, and kowtowed heavily.

"Your Majesty's kindness and virtue, Yang Kang will never forget it in his life!"

"Your mother and I are destined. Get up." Tang Huanxi smiled, and then told Uncle Zhou to settle the two brothers.

Hong Fu, who had been on the sidelines, raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, "Why did your mother keep these two brothers? After all, Cheng Xuening made a mistake..."

"A dying man speaks kindly," Tang Huanxi sighed softly, then handed the last letter in his hand to Hong Fu, "This is a letter she wrote when she came back to life."

Hongfu immediately looked at it seriously, and after reading it, she couldn't help but sigh.

"So it's true that the Yang family really colluded with Xiliang Guoshi secretly? She gave Hou Fei such secret information?"

"Although she loves Yang Ji, she loves the land under her feet even more. She loves the country very deeply." Tang Huanxi never thought that Cheng Xuening would tell herself such a secret, " From the very beginning, I thought the timing of her appearance was too coincidental, so I doubted her motives, but I never thought that the rapid decline of the Yang family would be the trigger for her."

"She used Hou Fei to deal with the Yang family, and then used Xiliang Guoshi and you to get rid of Hou Fei, the dog official."

"Yeah, if she was a man, it might not be possible for her to die so quickly."

After all, this dynasty was harsher on women.

"I hope that the Yang and Kang brothers will not let down everything her mother carefully arranged." Hongfu sighed silently.

After noon, Xiao Baorui led a group of people to the nearby snow mountain.

Just when the heavy snow melted, Xiao Baorui suddenly became interested and wanted to go hunting in the mountains.

Tang Huanxi thought about it again and again, but nodded in agreement.

February passed by in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it was March when the grass grew and the warblers flew.

It was the season when peach blossoms were in full bloom. The five peach trees in the backyard of the Garrison Mansion all had pink stamens.

Zhao Wenshu, the daughter of Spring City defender Zhao Zhuo, is already in her twentieth year.

The face is like a peach blossom, small and exquisite.

Tang Huanxi was delighted when she saw it.

"I've heard about the celestial appearance of the empress for a long time. Now that I look at it, I feel that the rumors in the market may not be untrue." Today, Zhao Wenshu is wearing a crimson long dress embroidered with peach blossoms, with a goose yellow dress tied on it. The double-breasted long gown, the whole person looks delicate and exquisite, very cute.

Listening to her funny words, Tang Huanxi couldn't help laughing.

"The peach blossoms on the human face reflect the red. Miss Zhao's outfit today reflects this poem."

"Your Majesty is too flattering to be a minister's daughter. I am ashamed to be a minister's daughter." Zhao Wenshu hurriedly bowed and politely declined.

"With your appearance, if you enter the palace, you will definitely be a concubine or concubine."

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Wenshu hurriedly knelt down and explained in a hurry, "Your Majesty, my little girl has never thought of entering the palace, I beg your Majesty to check it out!"

Seeing her terrified expression, Tang Huanxi couldn't help but smile, and stepped forward to help her up.

"It's just a few words of emotion, why are you so nervous?" Tang Huanxi patted her hand lightly, and smiled gently, "Besides, if you really think that way, you think you can enter the gate of the garrison mansion ?"

"My little girl dare not!" At this moment, Zhao Wenshu felt a dense layer of cold sweat break out on her back.

When she first saw Tang Huanxi, she was overwhelmed by his beauty.

The Empress has already raised two sons and one daughter for the Holy Majesty, but her body and appearance are still so beautiful.

No wonder she will be favored forever.

"You don't have to panic." Tang Huanxi couldn't help smiling when she saw her restrained and cautious appearance, "Actually, I also know something about you. You have refused to get married all these years. It’s because you didn’t meet the right person, and it’s because of your father, right?”

A look of surprise flashed across Zhao Wenshu's eyes immediately, "How could your empress know?"

"If you have the heart, you will naturally know what you want to know." Tang Huanxi looked at her and smiled slightly, "The Holy One intends to betroth you to Tang Lingtian, the magistrate of Dongyang County. I don't know what you want?"
