    Along a stone road behind the waterside pavilion, Shao Shang and others slowly came to the back mountain and sat on the stone pier by the pool for a while. She suddenly said: “Mother Fu, do you still remember that I fell seriously ill in the country house that year? If it hadn’t been for your dedicated care, I’m afraid the grass on my tomb would have been knee-deep in grass by now.”

    Ah Li was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: “Young master, you are blessed with good luck and good fortune. You will be able to turn bad luck into good luck. How can I dare to take credit for it?”

    Shaoshang looked at the weeping willows by the pond: “… Fu’s mother is still the same. She doesn’t say another word and doesn’t want any more benefits. You may not know that at that time, I didn’t know what my parents and brothers looked like or what their temperaments were. Fu’s mother was the only person in the world that I could trust.”

    Ah Xi felt sad and said softly: “The past is in the past. Now my lady and the young masters love you so much.”

    “Yes.” Shaoshang said to himself, “Over the years, it has been like a dream. I have been sleeping nonstop for a month, just thinking that one day I would wake up and find that it was really a dream? Alas, no matter when I wake up, I will still be in the same place.”

    Ah Zhu didn’t understand at all, but just advised: “The young master is very tired, and he has slept for too long, so he is a little confused.”

    Shaoshang laughed at himself and turned around: “Mother Fu, I’m afraid I won’t be able to forgive you for the rest of my life.”

    “Ah?!” A’Zhi originally saw that the girl was becoming more open-minded these days and thought the situation had eased, so she accidentally heard this.

    Shaoshang added: “…I don’t mean to make things difficult for her, but some wrong things can never be undone. Mother Fu, don’t blame me.”

    Ah Xi sighed: “Young lady has suffered so many things, how can I blame you?”

    “In the past, my mother always said that I had a violent spirit, and I didn’t accept it, but now that I think about it, it’s right.” Shaoshang said with a smile.

    A’li hesitated: “Nujun, Nvjun has regretted it a long time ago. She treats you now…”

    “There’s no need to say it, Mother Fu. I understand what Grandma means. I won’t worry about this anymore. From now on, I won’t always remember who hates me or who is sorry for me. I will express my anger on the spot. I can’t hold it in forever.”

    Ah Zhu said happily: “It’s great that the young master can think so.”

    Shaoshang murmured to himself: “On the contrary, I want to remember who likes me and who treats me well… As long as I think of these people, I will have the confidence to live. People, you should think more about good things, Mother Fu, am I right?” The clear pool water had sparkling waves, faintly swaying on her face, and seemed to shine into her heart.

    As soon as the imperial government’s major political strategy was announced, orders were issued one after another to suppress rebellions and appease them.

    The prince requested an order to go to war, and the emperor readily agreed, and then ordered the establishment of the Prime Minister’s Camp in Chenliu County, Yanzhou, to supervise the war and pensions, and supervise the implementation of the land transfer orders in various places.Many people felt it was clear that the emperor was saving credit for the prince, so everyone smiled and clapped very cooperatively, and expressed their willingness to provide money and people.

    Shao Shang couldn’t help but sigh, in fact, the old man Huang had cultivated the King of East China Sea in this way, and the officials tried to dissuade him and curled their lips – not because the current prince is not easy to mess with.

    Before Shao Shang could pack his bags, the prince had already led the mighty guards and honor guards out of the city gate and headed east.

    Cheng Shu held her belly in her hands to see off her husband, who was traveling with the prince. When she came back, she spread gossip that at the departure ceremony, the prince and queen looked impatient, and the emperor and the concubines in the prince’s palace were sad to leave.

    Everyone laughed.

    Cheng Shu was worried: “Ajia is timid and not good at bow and horse. Is everything going to be fine?”

    Shao Shang comforted him and said, “Don’t worry, as much as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge, he will be in charge. Don’t be dissatisfied. His Majesty must have taken care of Ban Xiaohou for the sake of Ban’s declining family. Otherwise, you can see if others can grab him!”

    Cheng Shu let out a long sigh: “That’s true. I heard from Ajia that the prince went to the Yanzhou camp to make plans first, and then several troops would arrive one after another. Well, Yanzhou is calm now, so there should be nothing wrong.”

    Now that Cheng’s mother has recovered from her illness, her children naturally have to leave one after another. Cheng Yong and Wan Song left first, followed by Cheng Zhi. Originally, Cheng Cheng also wanted to return to Bailu Mountain as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, his wife was diagnosed as pregnant, so Mrs. Xiao insisted on keeping Mrs. Qingyuan. Cheng Cheng couldn’t bear to be separated from his wife, so he hesitated between studies and relationships every day.

    These past few days have been very busy. After finally recruiting an army, I have to follow General Han to several counties west of Sizhou.The good news is that he is with Cheng Zhi all the way, so that Cheng Shi can escort Cheng Zhi and his wife back to their posts. The bad news is that on the day they set off, they received a message from a fast horse. The county governor who was Cheng Zhi’s boss was hit in the head by a mob and passed out.Guarding the people——that is, Cheng Zhi.

    “Isn’t Third Uncle going to be promoted again?” Shao Shang was jealous of Uncle Pig Head’s luck.

    Cheng Shaogong said that he could do a divination to see if the county governor would die, but he was almost beaten by Mrs. Xiao.

    Mrs. Xiao held Cheng Zhi’s ear and warned him for a long time. The general meaning was that he must not show any expectation of promotion, but instead serve at the county magistrate’s bedside more actively than a filial son.

    Mrs. Sang smiled and said: “Don’t worry, Sis. In addition to taking care of official duties, I will let Zi Gu sleep in front of the county magistrate’s bed.”

    Cheng Zhi covered his ears with a bitter look on his face.

    A few days later, the young merchant packed his bags, carriages and horses, organized the guards and soldiers, and Cheng Shaogong also calculated the time. Just the day before they were to set off, someone suddenly came to the palace to announce his presence.Shao Shang quickly took off his lazy clothes and put on the dignified robe that the emperor liked before he dared to enter the palace. After some twists and turns, Shao Shang found the emperor on the long white marble steps outside the west gate of Changqiu Palace.

    The emperor sat on the stone steps, tilting his head at her: “It has only been a month since he was released, and his bones have become loose again. This dress has not been worn for a long time, and the creases have not been ironed out.”

    Shao Shang knelt awkwardly on the stone steps below: “Then…it’s cumbersome to stay in bed to recuperate, so why bother polishing your clothes…?”

    “In that case, I have to reward you.”

    “I don’t dare!” Shaoshang said quickly.

    “Dare you dare, there are few things in this palace that you dare not do.” Uncle Huang smiled and his beard flew up. “After understanding the funeral ceremony, Lao Wu set off to join the feudal lord. When she came back that day, the Queen suddenly said that it was so quiet in the palace. You and Lao Wu used to fight secretly, but now everyone is leaving…”

    Shao Shang quickly defended: “How dare I beat the prince? It’s just that the fifth prince is kind-hearted, so I dare to play with him, it’s just a joke!”

    “Okay, stop using your sweet words, but Lao Wu just doesn’t want to admit it. I’m a good man, but being beaten by a little lady like you is really embarrassing for me – so I don’t want to admit it either.” The emperor said quietly.

    Shao Shang laughed dryly.

    The emperor stared in the west direction for a long time, and for so long Shao Shang felt his knees hurt. The old man finally spoke: “Stop kneeling and sit down too… Alas, Shao Shang, have I done many wrong things in my life?”

    Shaoshang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the emperor was looking in the direction of Yong’an Palace. He thought of Empress Dowager Xuan, and felt sad for a moment.

    “How could your Majesty say such a thing?” she said.

    The emperor said: “I have been a soldier all my life, but when I look back in my old age, I realize that many people have died because of me. Zi Sheng’s father, second sister, gods, and many more… The more indifferent and desireless a person with a kind heart is, the sooner he will die.”

    Shaoshang pondered for a moment and said softly: “Your Majesty, please do not belittle yourself. At that time, the world was in chaos and all life was in ruins. If it hadn’t been for Your Majesty’s efforts to turn the tide, the chaos would have lasted for years and months! The reason why Your Majesty thinks so is precisely because Your MajestyBe kind-hearted and always considerate of others.Whether it’s Empress Xuan, me, or the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and the people of the world, I dare to say to God that we are blessed to meet such a generous monarch as your majesty.”

    Hearing the girl’s serious tone, the emperor laughed and said, “That’s good, so I’m pretty good at governing the world.”

    “It’s more than good. Now the world is peaceful… uh…” Shao Shang thought that there was an armed rebellion outside to resist the Tian Order, and he was a little hard to express. “In short, the country and the people are now peaceful and recuperating. It is all thanks to His Majesty!”

    The emperor seemed to have no intention of saying, “Well, if that’s the case, then what are you afraid of?”

    Shao Shang was stunned: “Afraid? What am I afraid of? I’m not afraid. Sometimes I think I’m too bold.”

    “No, you just look bold, but in fact you are walking on thin ice.” The emperor seemed to understand everything, “I am here to ask you, now that the world is peaceful, you were born in a wealthy family, with parents, and brothers and sisters – you have no worries about life and death, and no danger of hunger or cold. Why are you always afraid that something unexpected will happen to you?”

    A young businessman is like being struck by lightning.

    The emperor continued in a slow voice: “You and Zi Sheng obviously like each other, but you always want to leave a way out. Zi Sheng is not blind and ignorant, that’s why you always quarrel…” He paused and smiled bitterly, “Of course, you are right to leave a way out. That Zhu Zi got into trouble later was all thanks to you. But now? You are still afraid because you have been hesitant to make a decision.”

    Shaoshang felt chills all over his body and sat blankly aside with his arms held in his hands: “I, I, my concubine…”

    The emperor’s expression was gentle and showed no power: “Since you were lucky enough to be born in a time of peace and prosperity, and you have no family, and now there are people who are rich, why are you still so frightened and worried about your sweetheart? It’s rare for a person to live his whole life. If you always look forward and backward, you will miss many moving scenery.”

    Shaoshang started to break into a cold sweat and was speechless like a child who was caught peeking at the answer.

    The emperor sighed: “There are less than one person in this world that I can admire, and the Queen is one of them.”

    Shaoshang looked at him doubtfully.

    “I know God well. We have been pushed by fate in this life. When things come to pass, whether it’s a fight or a marriage, you can’t help but agree, but Ah Heng is different. At first, I was worried that she would regret and resent her if she was wronged, but she said that not everyone can meet the one they love. If you do, don’t let go. It’s better to be hurt for a lifetime than to regret for a lifetime. sheYou will never regret the path you choose, even if it is tempered by years and attacked by wind and frost.”
