Tuoba Xian gave the letter to King Wu for review.
When he was reading the letter, she stood beside him, raising her head, her lingering eyes lingering on the side of his face.
She had never seen enough of this face in her life.
She had never had enough of this person in her life.
These short ten days together in the valley, the quiet time without being disturbed by the outside world, was as beautiful as a dream.
I'm afraid that when the dream suddenly wakes up, everything will return to its original position.
Sure enough, she received a secret letter today, written by Na Risong...
"I was hesitant before and wanted to tear up the letter and pretend I didn't receive it..."
Seeing that he had finished reading the letter, she spoke softly, with a hint of embarrassment and bitterness on her lips.
"Before I had time to deal with it, you came in and called me to eat. This is really... ugh!"
King Wu put away the letter, turned around as usual, and smiled at her calmly.
"The food is ready. Eat it while it's hot. Even if it's such a big deal, you have to fill your stomach first."
"ah?"
"Obey, come on, let's eat first."
Her hand was held tightly by a pair of warm big hands, and she was led by him to the table.
Three dishes and one soup were already placed on the table.
King Wu gently pressed Tuoba Xian's shoulder and asked her to sit down, then sat down next to her.
He raised his chopsticks and put a piece of lamb-white yam into her bowl.
"We dug this yam together that day. I peeled it and made it into yam cake. You can try it."
Tuoba Xian nodded slightly and took a small bite gracefully.
"It's slightly sweet and delicious," she said.
King Wu smiled, "I always remember that you like to eat sweet food, with honey in it."
"By the way, this honey was also obtained by the two of us from the hive over the valley. The taste is extremely pure."
King Wu gave Tuoba Xian a piece of salmon gill meat, pickled cabbage white meat soup, and stuffed cabbage roots that were a bit bitter but delicious.
Everything was brought to Tuoba Xian's mouth and he personally served her food.
Tuoba Xian tasted everything cooperatively, and then her eyes turned red. Seeing that King Wu was about to give her more food, Tuoba Xian held King Wu's hand.
"Brother Wu, stop serving me. Stop, I have something to tell you."
Sweet yam cake, spicy salmon meat, sour white broth, bitter stuffed vegetable roots...
She tasted it one bite at a time, as if she had experienced all the flavors of life.
The previous hesitation was suddenly given the firmness of conviction.
Yes, she doesn't want any ambition to dominate. At this point in her life, she doesn't want anything.
She just wants this kind of life where she is obsessed with money, guarding one person, eating three meals a day, and watching the sunset.
She is nothing special, she is just an ordinary flesh and blood body. If there is any difference, it is the mission given to her by the Tuoba surname...
mission?
Sorry, if she is guilty, she will go to apologize to her father when she goes to hell in the future.
But for now, please allow her to be a coward.
King Wu suddenly held Tuoba Xian's hand in his palm, enveloping her in his loving eyes.
Tuoba Xian came back to her senses and looked straight at him. The tenderness in his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the years. They were still the young man and woman in each other's eyes deep in time.
"A-Xian," King Wu's voice was deep and rich, making her feel inexplicably at ease as soon as he spoke.
"I know what you want to say. Don't say those words of yours. Please listen to me first." King Wu said again. The hands that were used to holding swords were very rough, but it made her feel strangely comfortable and at ease.
"Okay, you speak and I listen." Tuoba Xian said.
King Wu smiled and then said: "You have a good meal, and when you finish the meal, we will clean up the house."
"Then lock it and give the key to Yu'er for safekeeping."
"Then, I'll accompany you down the mountain, and we'll go back to the village to find Qing'er and Fengtang to explain,"
"Then, let's go north together. No matter whether we go to Daliao or wherever we go, I will accompany you!"
…
Yang Ruoqing was caught off guard by her parents-in-law's sudden return to the village.
I learned from Yu'er before that my father-in-law went to the mountain to cure his wounds, and just after he was out of danger, he asked Yu'er for something.
Yu'er accepted his request, helped him find a secluded valley in the mountains, and built two thatched houses.
Later, the father-in-law saved the day, and the mother-in-law went to the mountains to reunite with him. The two lived a pastoral life without any worries in the thatched house built by the father-in-law.
In order to satisfy their parents-in-law, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang deliberately did not disturb them in the valley, and only asked people to deliver needed supplies to the entrance of the valley regularly.
Why did you come back to the mountain so quickly?
Is it a short trip back to the village to visit relatives and friends? Or is there something else?
Yang Ruoqing suppressed the speculation in her heart and hurried over to greet her parents-in-law.
King Wu's personality is similar to that of Luo Fengtang. Even though Luo Fengtang doesn't want to admit it, the father and son share the same reticent personality.
King Wu simply said a few words to his daughter-in-law, then excused himself to go to the backyard. This was his son's home and the place where A-Xian had lived for more than ten years. In the past years, he had been hiding in the dark to observe. Today, it can be said that For the first time, I came in and looked around openly.
Wherever King Wu went, everything he saw pleased him.
Especially when he saw the small bamboo forest in the backyard where he practiced dancing, King Wu stopped for a long time, thinking and filled with emotions.
In the front yard, Tuoba Xian also told Yang Ruoqing about her intention to go down the mountain.
"Risong sent me a secret letter that day. The situation in Daliao has changed. I hope I can go back and take charge of the overall situation."
Yang Ruoqing also finished reading the letter.
In this encrypted letter, Narisong did not give a detailed explanation of the current situation in Daliao, but the meaning of his words also revealed some information.
Coupled with the information fed back from the spies in Daliao, the two were combined and considered, and it was indeed the best time for Tuoba Xian to come out.
"Mom, what do you mean?"
Yang Ruoqing could only ask half of the question.
For so many years, my mother has been holding back and waiting for this opportunity.
There were many times before that my mother was depressed because of the slim hope, and even thought about giving up.
She and Luo Fengtang never stopped encouraging and encouraging their mother, because this was a spiritual pursuit and a belief that supported her.
But in the following years, with the birth of grandchildren, my mother-in-law’s spiritual pursuits seemed to have quietly changed.
From a female politician, she gradually transformed into a loving grandmother, eating fast, chanting Buddha, and being pure.
Many times when they couldn't sleep at night, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang chatted in bed until midnight, and the topic was all about their mother-in-law.
To sum up, my mother-in-law has two regrets in the rest of her life.
One is the regime of Daliao.
There is another one, probably King Wu.
Falling in love with a man, once you wait, is half your life.
Now my mother-in-law has finally waited to be reunited with her father-in-law. Before she can enjoy the rest of her life, she will go back to Daliao and be separated?
