"Don't worry, when Nizi comes back in a few days, Mom will give you a good talk." Yicui's mother comforted Zhu Zhu, then turned around and hurried to cook: "It's so late, you must be starving."

Zhu Zhu sighed: "You guys came back so late, I was already hungry."

Yi Cuiniang smiled, and her hand chopped vegetables faster.

The next day came in a blink of an eye. Shen Qingyun had breakfast leisurely, practiced calligraphy, and then changed into a dress with goose yellow and green grass patterns, making her whole person look more delicate, and went to the General's Mansion.

Early in the morning, Han Rou took charge of the big kitchen and cooked a sumptuous table of food today, including butterfly shrimp rolls, sweet and sour pork loin, five-spice pigeon, casserole braised old hen... It made people's index fingers move.

At noon, Xiao Jue also came, and Shen Qingyun showed such an expression, which made Han Rou blush again.

Old General Han was used to staying at the border during marches and wars. He had no requirements for food on weekdays and was relatively frugal. It was rare for him to set up such a sumptuous table.

Shen Qingyun joked: "General Xiao, it's thanks to your favor today."

Han Rou glanced at her angrily: "What a narrow-minded person, when did you come here without preparing something delicious?"

Xiao Jue chuckled, and the servant who followed him brought up two gift boxes, one for Han Rou and one for Shen Qingyun.

Pearl hurriedly took it for Shen Qingyun and opened it. Inside was a set of hibiscus jade heads and faces, which were crystal clear and very beautiful.

She was so generous as soon as she made her move. Shen Qingyun's eyes showed a look of affirmation: "Yes, yes, I agree to this marriage."

Han Rou was asking someone to take down the gift box when she heard this and glared at her: "It's getting more and more out of shape."

The pearl looked good, but she murmured in her heart that it was naturally not as good as the ones the prince sent to the young lady. They were all top quality. But General Xiao could do this, which shows his care for Han Rou.

Old General Han kept smiling as he watched a few people playing around, feeling the joy of a family in his heart.

Several people sat together and had a happy meal. The old general took Xiao Jue to the study, and Han Rou also pulled Shen Qingyun into the room.

"Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it." Shen Qingyun smiled and blinked, expecting that Han Rouding wanted to say something to her.

"You are the only one who is smart." Han Rou pointed her finger at Shen Qingyun's forehead, and then said with some embarrassment: "Qingyun, what do you think of mother and General Xiao Jue?"

Shen Qingyun thought for a while, took Han Rou's arm and leaned on her shoulder, and said sincerely: "Mom, you know, I have always hoped that you can live happily. If you are with General Xiao Jue, Then I have a hundred wishes in my heart, so you must not have any scruples."

Han Rou's eyes were as gentle as water. She raised her hand and gently stroked Shen Qingyun's hair: "Mother knows that our Qingyun is the most sensible and considerate person. But he is going to guard the border. I hope mother can go with him. But you’re not married yet, so how can I rest assured?”

Shen Qingyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He really had not thought about this problem.

She asked: "What about grandpa?"

"Your grandfather handed over military power, and the emperor granted him permission to follow him to the border. Because he is not in the previous area, but facing the Dayue Kingdom." Han Rou said, with even more worry in her eyes: "Your grandfather is not used to staying in Kyoto. I think it's good if he goes. But what will you do if we all leave, Qingyun. So I want to wait until you get married before going to the border."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyun hurriedly sat up and said seriously: "Mother, don't you still believe me? I will take care of myself, so you can just go with me."

Seeing that Han Rou wanted to say more, she hurriedly added: "General Xiao will return to Beijing to report on his duties in the future anyway. We will always have a chance to meet by then, so don't worry."

To be honest, it would be better for Han Rou to follow Xiao Jue and leave Kyoto.

There was freedom over the border, and although the environment was more difficult, the two of them were often together.

But Han Rou would be too lonely if she stayed in the General's Mansion, not to mention that there were always rumors in the capital. Many people were jealous that Han Rou could marry the Cavalry General at such a young age, but all the unpleasant words were suppressed. Qingyun was secretly blocked from letting her know.

Han Rou sighed: "I'll think about it again."

"Generally speaking, family members are not allowed to go to the border together. Why did the emperor relent this time?" Shen Qingyun asked.

"I heard from Xiao Jue that this matter was all thanks to Prince Li interceding." Han Rou said, then she looked at Shen Qingyun with a smile: "Qingyun, are you and Prince...if it's true? This way, Mom thinks it’s good too.”

"I'm talking about you, mother, why does it involve me?" Shen Qingyun blushed, but she didn't expect that Si Moli was secretly contributing again. She felt very comfortable in her heart, thinking that she would have to do it next time she saw him. Asked what he said, he actually persuaded the emperor.

"Mom really wants to ask you. Although I don't have much contact with the prince, but every time I see the way he looks at you..." Han Rou covered her mouth and smiled: "Mom has come here, and now I have understood a lot of things, Qingyun, if you and the prince are truly in love, just follow your heart and stay together."

Shen Qingyun nodded slowly, mother and daughter leaned together and spoke a lot of thoughtful words, both of them filled with tenderness in their hearts.

After dinner, Han Rou sent Shen Qingyun to the door of the General's Mansion.

Before leaving, Shen Qingyun warned Han Rou several times: "Mom, if you can leave with General Xiao Jue, then go ahead. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself."

Han Rou nodded slightly, and the smile on her lips never fell.

Once she was trapped in the Duke's Mansion, taking care of a large family without getting any gratitude. Now that she finally broke free, she felt a little dazed in her heart.

It wasn't until she saw Shen Qingyun's carriage disappearing at the street corner that she turned around and entered the house.

When she arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Yicui saw Shen Qingyun coming back and reported today's situation: "Miss, I have made an appointment with Miss Ji for tomorrow afternoon."

Shen Qingyun asked: "What did Miss Ji want to say?"

Yi Cui shook her head: "She said she wanted to talk to the lady in person."

"Okay." In this case, Shen Qingyun didn't ask any more questions, rested for a while, picked up a book and read quietly.

When the appointment was made, she went to Tingfeng Pavilion in advance, but unexpectedly she met Ji Qianxue at the door.

The two looked at each other, smiled, and walked into the house together.

Desserts and tea were ordered in advance, and upon seeing the two of them arriving, they were quickly delivered to the private room, and then the maids withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Ji Qianxue took a sip of tea, her eyes lit up, she looked around and said, "Qingyun, you should choose a good place. The environment is quiet and quiet. This tea is also the best Silver Needle, which is rare. I must be the owner of Tingfeng Pavilion." He is also a person of noble nature."

Shen Qingyun smiled and said nothing, changed her subject, and asked straight to the point: "Qianxue, why do you want to see me?"

Ji Qianxue put down her tea cup and sighed: "To be honest, it was my father who talked to me and said that the emperor intended for me to be Princess Li. The things in the palace happened again, so I wanted to talk to you."
