Chapter 1185 Children Grow Up and Are No Longer Under Their Mother's Control
Chapter 1185 Children Grow Up and Are No Longer Under Their Mother's Control
Yunrou felt sorry for the child because of the merit she missed. Such an opportunity was rare, and many people would only encounter it once in their lifetime.
Yun Rou wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, but her gaze toward Jiang Jiaoyun was as firm as a rock.
"You believe your mother. You did nothing wrong. It's the Yun family's fault. The Yun family has dragged you down."
Yunrou is most grateful that Jiaoyun is studying with the Crown Princess and has won the Emperor's favor.
Otherwise, if this matter were investigated, the Yun family's situation would be more than ten times worse than it is now.
"Mother, please don't say that. I still have a lot of knowledge and martial arts skills. Why should I worry about not being promoted and making a fortune? Mother, please wait for me for a few more years. I will definitely win an imperial title for you."
Jiang Jiaoyun was confident, and seeing her mother's slightly haggard face after only a few months apart, her belief became even stronger.
"Good child, your mother believes in you."
After the meal, Jiang Jiaoyun's inner conflict was resolved.
The next day, after having a reunion dinner with my father, grandfather, and a few others, I packed my things and set off.
He followed the map given by His Majesty and kept up with His Highness's pace.
Almost as soon as Jiang Jiaoyun arrived at the Crown Princess's side, Minglang's letter was also delivered to the capital.
Liang Chongyue listened to the story while opening the letter that Minglang had sent back.
Just as she was getting to an interesting part, she glanced at the letter, and the audiobook disappeared from Liang Chongyue's mind the next second.
The system was engrossed in listening when the host suddenly turned off the sound, and curiously came closer.
After reading the contents of the letter, he silently went back.
It just wants the host to pretend it never came.
"What does 'bad kid' mean? Not coming back?"
Hearing its host throwing a tantrum, the system sat up straight and looked up at the sky.
They even stopped chewing their gum.
It was afraid of making even the slightest sound and incurring the host's wrath.
The next second, a grape accurately hit the back of the system's head.
"Little dog, what do you mean by Minglang?"
How long has it been since the host called it "little dog"? Every time it does, something must have happened.
"It's probably clear that she just wants to stay away for another year or two before coming back, so you don't need to worry too much, host."
Liang Chongyue practically plastered that letter on the system's forehead.
Do you think she only plans to stay away for a year or two?
After carefully reading the letter from beginning to end, the system remained silent.
"I was hoping that after he returned to take over the administration, I could go out and enjoy myself for a few years before I died, so that all my hard work over the years wouldn't have been in vain."
Liang Chongyue swung the letter in his hand, making a rustling sound: "And what did she do? All these years of my hard work to govern the country, she said she wanted to have her way with everything."
The territory of the Great Xia Dynasty is vast; it would take more than a year to travel around it on horseback without eating or drinking, day and night.
She said she wanted to experience all the wonders of Daxia before going home.
"She might as well just say that she hopes I can stay in this position until I die, and then she can come back."
The system immediately went to comfort the host.
"It's okay, it's okay, we can fake our death and get away with it."
The system was then rewarded with a flick on the forehead by Liang Chongyue.
"What if the world descends into chaos after I die? Wouldn't all my years of hard work have been for nothing?"
Liang Chongyue was so angry that he slumped on the dragon throne, wishing he could send Fei He out right now to bring the person back.
Liang Chongyue: "You said Jiang Jiaoyun left at a really convenient time. If she had left a month or so later, I could have had her deliver a message to me."
The system silently mourned for Minglang for a minute.
"So what are you planning to do next, host? Send a message for Minglang to come back?"
Liang Chongyue fell silent. It wasn't that she didn't want her child to see more of the outside world, but that he should come back after two or three years.
But the meaning behind this letter is far more than that.
"Let her go out and have fun for a few years. Before I grow old, I will make sure she comes back."
The system looked up at its host, a face that hadn't changed much in ten years, except it looked more dignified. This spot-the-difference game was really difficult.
"Host, it sounds like you really don't want Minglang to come back."
Liang Chongyue reached out and rubbed the system's head, and told his mother about it that very night.
Seeing that her mother's reaction was even stronger than hers, Liang Chongyue was pleased.
"Children grow up and are no longer under their mother's control, so I won't say anything. After all, he grew up by his mother's side, how could he not think of her?"
Xiang Huayue was preoccupied with the news that Minglang would not be back for a long time, and for a moment she did not realize that Liang Chongyue was trying to sow discord.
"Mother, please write a letter quickly and talk to her properly. I said it's no use now."
With that, Liang Chongyue sighed helplessly, looked up at the sky, and lay back in the chair, calmly watching the rich and varied expressions on her mother's face.
The hawk set off that very night.
Liang Chongyue watched with satisfaction as the carrier eagle flapped its wings and flew away, before returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
I had a good night's sleep and am now waiting for Minglang's reply.
At this moment, after Minglang and the others had gotten together with Jiang Jiaoyun, they listened to her finish telling them what had happened after she went back.
One can't help but sigh that the only constant in this world is the fickleness of human nature.
"Now that this matter has been resolved, you should get a good night's sleep. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."
Jiang Jiaoyun took out the gifts that the Empress Dowager had asked her to bring and distributed them to everyone.
"The Empress Dowager misses Your Highness dearly. Your Highness, please remember to write back to her."
Mentioning the letters, Minglang held the stack of letters that her grandmother had sent to her through Jiang Jiaoyun, and then thought of the one she had returned.
I have a strange, bad feeling about this.
I hope my mother won't be too angry, and my grandmother won't miss me too much. I don't want to go back so soon.
After taking the letter back to his room and reading it, Minglang picked up his pen that very night and began writing a reply to his grandmother.
One letter after another, filled with deep affection.
He answered every question that was on the Empress Dowager's mind.
I wrote until dawn before I finished writing all the replies.
Then he asked Qin Xiaosi to find someone to send the letter back.
The hawk was very fast; it delivered the letter to Minglang in less than a month and a half.
Minglang unfolded the letter with some trembling, expecting to see a reprimand from his mother, the Queen.
Unexpectedly, it only contained the handwriting of the Empress Dowager.
The first long paragraph is filled with his longing for her and some funny stories from her childhood.
Minglang's eyes welled up with tears as she read, until she saw the last page, where the handwriting became noticeably messy, as if it had been rushed out.
The style of the drawings on this paper has completely changed; they are no longer like the ones before.
Every word is an expression of emotion, conveying his longing for her.
The first sentence of the last chapter is: "What came before was written under the supervision of your mother, the Empress. What follows is what your grandmother really wants to tell you."
"Your mother is not in a hurry for you to come back. She is pleased that you want to see all the lands of the Great Xia Dynasty. It's just that she misses you very much, but she is too embarrassed to say it."
When you come back after your journey, you can go to the border to see the places where your mother, the Empress, fought. Your grandmother also grew up there. It's a beautiful place with kind and simple people. You'll like that place..."
