Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 217 Family
Before Yue Pengju had gone far, he saw Zhang Xian coming quickly with two guards.

The two were a little surprised, why did Zhang Xian come here so early in the morning?

Zhang Xian got off his horse, his face was very ugly, and he hurriedly asked: "Pengju, are you going out again?"

Yue Pengju asked without answering, "Zhang Xian, what happened?"

Zhang Xian was very angry: "We received an order to transfer our troops to Xiangyang."

Yue Pengju was taken aback: "Why?"

"It is said that the imperial court and the captives negotiated peace, and the Kingdom of Jin proposed to return the land of Lianghe..."

Return the Land of Two Rivers?Veteran Zongze always said "cross the river, cross the river" when he was dying. The capital of Song State used to be Bianjing, and now the Jin people are still holding the two deposed emperors hostage and refusing to return them. How could they easily return the Lianghe land?Even if it is returned, what price will the Song Dynasty have to pay?
Yue Pengju only asked: "How many soldiers and horses are left here?"

"Only keep one thousand."

What can a thousand protect?
Wouldn't such a withdrawal open the door again?

Hua Rong suddenly asked: "Who is the minister presiding over the peace talks between the two courts?"

"I heard it was Qin Hui. After he returned to the Song Dynasty, he made many suggestions to His Majesty. He will preside over the peace talks this time..."

Sure enough, the pieces laid out by Jin Wushu are showing their effectiveness step by step.Hua Rong suddenly remembered the letter he had exposed Qin Hui, and his vest felt a little cold.

Zhang Xian said, "Pengju, what are your plans now?"

Originally, the couple planned to go to Xiangyang as soon as the situation stabilized, but now, they don't want to go at all.Yue Pengju looked at his wife, and said lightly, "We're staying here now."

Zhang Xian hesitated, and said slowly: "Pengju, you might as well take your wife with you on the road, Xiangyang is a big place, there are always more doctors, there is always someone who can find a way."

"There is no forest there, and it is not convenient for hunting animals. Zhang Xian, you should go back first."

Zhang Xian couldn't persuade him anymore, so he got on his horse and left.

Because of this incident, the original good mood of the couple was completely destroyed.Yue Pengju raised his gun and comforted his wife with a forced smile: "The weather is fine today, I will definitely bring back a tiger and make tiger leather boots for my son."

Hua Rong smiled sweetly: "Okay, I've got the tiger skin, and I'll make a pair of tiger skin sandals for you and my son."

It was a sunny day.

In the continuous sunny days, the snow on the surrounding trees has long melted, and the gentle spring breeze is like a pair of magical hands. Almost after a few nights, countless greens emerge from the bare land.And those trees, those trees that have experienced a spring snow, have put on a new layer of light yellow clothes, swaying a kind of vigorous vitality.

The sun was fine, and the guard took a wide, rough birch stool and placed it on the grass outside, covered with a thick tiger skin.

Hua Rong sat on the stool and looked up at the sky. The spring sunshine was unusually soft and didn't feel glare at all.In the afternoon, it was the warmest time of the day, she was still wearing thick clothes, and when the wind blew past her neck, she still felt a little chilly.

Lu Wenlong was running around on one side, he was lively and active, and the thick tiger-skin jacket on his body had been replaced by a spotted leopard-skin jacket.Sometimes he pulls the grass, sometimes he watches the birds flying around in the trees.There was a kind of emerald bird with two long colorful feathers on its tail, flying around the forest glitteringly and dazzlingly. He was amused by it and wondered how to catch one.

However, no matter how he ran around waving his short fat arms, sweating profusely, he still couldn't figure it out, the bird still stopped on the treetops, singing chirpingly, he had no choice but to cross his arms and raise his head, After staring at it for a long time, he ran over a few steps: "Mom, mom...I want a bird...the kind that sings..."

With a needle and thread in his hand, Hua Rong is stitching together some thin rabbit skins to make a jacket for his son.Spring is here, and summer is coming too. You can't keep wearing tiger or leopard skins.

She sewed stitch by stitch, and said softly: "The bird sings so beautifully, if you catch it, you can't sing..."

"No, I think it sings on the ground."

"A bird flies in the sky, but when it lands on the ground, it will cry."

"I'll be nice to it, how can it cry?"

"Because it can't see its father and mother..."

"Ugh……"

Hua Rong listened to him soundly, sighed like a little adult, and burst out laughing.He was very serious, "If Father is here, he can be arrested for me. Mom, when will Father come back?"

"Father went hunting tigers, and he will be back before dark."

The child raised his head and looked at the sun: "It's been a long time since it got dark?"

"A few more hours."

He was very disappointed, and said to himself: "That vicious uncle can catch birds... Well, if only he was here..."

The "vicious uncle" was naturally King Qin, and on the way back to send him, King Qin caught all kinds of birds to coax him.So, after such a long time, he still remembers the "vicious uncle".

Hua Rong saw that his brows were frowned, wrinkled into strange Sichuan characters, and he was very mature, so he laughed and said, "Boy, hurry up and practice martial arts, when you are older and better at martial arts, you can climb trees to catch birds by yourself Son..."

He went to get his long gun and ran over, there were two, both made by Yue Pengju for him, because of his childish nature, he made two for him to choose, but he liked both, and often picked them up and danced together.

He followed his father's instruction and practiced one move after another for a while. Seeing his sweating profusely, Hua Rong said softly, "Baby, take a rest."

When he ran over, Hua Rong took out a handkerchief and put down the gun, just in time to see a green bird parked on the grass in front of him, and tiptoed over, said in a low voice: "Mom, the bird doesn't know, I'll go quietly grab it..."

Hua Rong laughed, but he stopped and looked at his mother nervously. Hua Rong immediately understood that he wanted to keep silent.She quickly cooperated and stopped laughing, only to see him turn around and walk towards the bird very lightly.

He approached lightly, stretched out his hand, and the bird flew away naturally.He was very disappointed, but when he saw little red flowers in spring blooming on the grass in front of him, he became happy again, and ran over to pick the little red flowers happily.

Hua Rong watched him run farther and farther, without calling him, and slowly put the needle and thread in his hand on his knee.The warm sun makes people tired, maybe it is spring sleepiness, these days, she always feels sleepy, leaning on the back of the chair behind her, closing her eyes, and taking a nap for a while.

Lu Wenlong came back with a handful of small red flowers, and kept shouting, "Mom, mom..."

With eyes closed, Hua Rong let him run around with a smile on his face.

Slowly, a person poked his head out from behind a big tree surrounded by three people.This is already the third day he has been here, the first two days, because of Yue Pengju's presence, he never showed up.Today, he has also been standing here for a long time, looking at this ordinary scene—he never knew that such an ordinary scene would make his heart surge, like the awakening of a strange emotion, or a familiar emotion precipitation.

He greedily looked at the jumping child. In just a few months, he was already half his head taller.He was wearing a spotted leopard-skin jacket, and a leopard-skin cap of the same type on his head. The cap had been taken off at this time, and his hair was combed into two corners. The little boots with leopard pattern are running around vigorously, just like a fire boy.

He held a lot of flowers and stood on the edge of the chair behind the woman, leaning against her, wrapped his soft arms around her neck, and inserted the flowers in his hand on her temples one by one, giving her Wearing a head full of small red flowers.

"Mom, mom...you look good..."

Looking at the flowers on the mother's head, the child was very proud and giggled.

The woman closed her eyes and remained motionless, letting the boy's soft hands tease her, with that gentle and sweet smile on her face all the time, together with the half-sewed clothes hanging down on her knees, forming an extremely loving feminine charm.

Even a rough man was moved by such a scene.He stood there for a long time, listening to the child's carefree laughter and teasing.

Love, because you experience love, will it be like this? !
Even if the child was with Tianwei and the nanny, he had never been so strong and lively, and his nature was stretched.

In half a year, she has cultivated such a close relationship with her child. Besides love, what other reasons can there be?
And she!

Her hands hanging on her knees were pale and thin. Under the sunlight, the back of her hands revealed a faint blue color, as if transparent.And her face was also as translucent as jade, and because of that kind of injury, it was even more slender, revealing an indescribably romantic attitude.

He suddenly felt a little soft all over his body, and his heart was so excited that he almost jumped out.

The child wrapped around his mother's neck, hugged her head, and kept shouting: "Mom, mom, look, there are more beautiful birds... I want a bird, catch it for me..."

"Hehe, when mom gets better, I'll teach you archery and shoot it down... um..." She seemed to be strangled by the neck, and the child let go, ran to the front, and climbed onto her, very affectionately, I don't know if he wanted to Hug her, or let her hug her, and lie in her arms, coquettishly: "Mom, mom... When will you get better..."

Under the bright sunshine, he heard her faint laughter, his breathing was a little short, and his face slowly began to turn purple, obviously it was too much for a child.But how do children know this?Still lying in her arms, he stretched out his arms to wrap around her neck, "Mom, what do you mean..."

He tiptoed and walked slowly.

Something hit the child on the back, he let go, and with a sound of "yo", he saw a familiar gadget fell on the ground, quickly let go of his mother, ran to pick it up, and then, clapping his hands and laughing, threw himself on the person who came. In his arms: "Daddy, Daddy..."

"Daddy, Daddy, I miss you..."

Hua Rong turned his back to the father and son, wanted to turn around, but felt that his eyes were too sleepy to open, but the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.The son was always in awe of Yue Pengju, but why did he call "Daddy" so affectionately today?She said softly: "Pengju, you came back so early today? You can catch a bird for your son, he has been pestering me..."

"Okay, Dad, catch me a bird...here, look, it's on the top of the tree..."
