Return of the Swallow

Qin Huaiyuan waved his hand: "I understand the emperor's intention, but the emotional guarantee is the most unreliable guarantee in the world. I am not doubting the emperor, but human nature is like this. Is it the king's land in the whole world? If in the future Sister Yi is heartbroken and does not want to continue to be a caged bird in the harem. She is too lazy to deal with the Yingying Yanyan surrounding the emperor. She does not even have a natal family to which she can return in peace."

Qin Yining closed her eyes when she heard this, and tears welled up unsatisfactorily.

Qin Huaiyuan continued: "It's not that I don't love this land with its vast land and abundant resources, nor that I can't understand the inconvenience and hardship of Xiyue's life. But I am a father, and the way I love my daughter is to give her a natal home where she can return. . The terrain of Xiyue is difficult, and there are large tracts of materials that can be developed. It is not impossible to develop into an overlord in the desert in the future. If my daughter wants to go home, I will take her back, and I can let my daughter leave you. Live a good life. Even if you have millions of troops, are surrounded by natural dangers in the desert, and have no guide, you may not be able to reap the benefits in the sunset."

"My father-in-law..." Ma was a little anxious when she heard that Qin Huaiyuan's words contained murderous intent.

Empress Dowager Yao even said sharply: "It's too rude for you to speak like this. You should take today's fate seriously!"

Qin Huaiyuan's smile remained the same, and he remained strong: "I have guarded the courtesy between a monarch and a minister all my life, how can I not understand it? I am speaking to my daughter and son-in-law as a father."

With that said, Qin Huaiyuan walked up to Qin Yining.

Qin Yining stood up and looked up at her father. His father's big hands fell on her temples and pinched her cheeks.

"Silly girl, you don't have to worry or panic, just stay here and live peacefully with the emperor. If someone breaks your heart in the future, it will make you feel that love has come to an end, that family ties cannot be maintained, and that you may even feel that there is no hope in the palace. Now, you don’t have to feel hopeless, and you don’t have to stay on an isolated island stupidly. Your father and your mother are in the desert, and if you are unhappy, just go home."

Qin Yining closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, "Father!"

"Good boy. Good boy." Qin Huaiyuan also had tears in his eyes.

Because we parted ways today and will meet again in the future, we can’t just go out of this door and enter that door. The journey is non-stop, and the days we can see each other are only a handful every year.

How many years are left in this life? But the days when their father and daughter can be reunited may not even last a year in total.

This is the tragedy of every parent.

But he couldn't ignore his children's retreat just for the sake of reunion.

Mrs. Sun came forward and hugged Qin Yining while sobbing: "Sister Yi, my son!"

"Mother, how about you not leaving? Father, I understand what you mean and what you are worried about, but I promise, I am not that cowardly. How about you stay in the capital?"

Qin Huaiyuan just smiled and shook his head.

Sun sobbed and said in Qin Yining's ear: "Your father is right, you must have a way out."

"I don't! I came home when I was fourteen, and we have only known each other for eight years! In these eight years of wandering, how many days have I been by your side? You have to leave now. The road in the future will be long, and there will be nothing left in this life. How many days will we meet? I have finally gritted my teeth and persisted until now, just because I want to be with you unscrupulously in the future. No one can harm our family anymore. Why can’t I just want something so simple? "

Qin Yining choked with sobs as she hugged Sun, her voice changed as she cried, and she couldn't help but stamp her feet.

Mrs. Sun closed her eyes and started to cry loudly.

Seeing their mother like this, Brother Zhao and Brother Han also shed tears.

Pang Xiao had never seen Qin Yining so sad. He patted her shoulder comfortingly, but he didn't know what to say or do. He just felt helpless.

Right now, even if he took out his heart and made a promise, he still couldn't stop Qin Huaiyuan.

Because from Qin Huaiyuan's perspective, everything he thought about was justified. He wanted to break up with Qin Yining, not because he didn't care for his daughter, but because he loved her so much that he would rather work hard in the desert than give Qin Yining a backer.

This kind of fatherly love makes Pang Xiao sigh with emotion and envy, but he is also helpless.

After sitting in this position, his father-in-law, who was like his teacher and father, could no longer fully trust his feelings for Qin Yining.

Ma had already shed tears and stood up and put her arms around Qin Yining's shoulders, "Girl Yi, don't cry anymore. Your parents are here for you. Grandma knows you are sad, but if you do this, your parents will only be more sad? As a human being. Parents only care about their children. As a mother, you should know that your parents have already made up their minds."

Qin Yining's eyes were red and swollen from crying. He lowered his head and nodded after a while.

Seeing Brother Zhao and Brother Han holding her legs on the left and right, she touched the children's heads with tears in their eyes.

Brother Han raised his head and looked at Qin Yining: "Mom, stop crying. I will beat anyone who bullies you in the future to death!"

Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh when he heard the childish words.

Brother Zhao, however, said with a serious face: "This is wrong. What if my grandmother bullies my mother? What if my father bullies my mother? Or what if my future wives bully my mother? You can beat them all. Die?"

Brother Han's eyes widened and he was immediately stopped by the question. It seemed a bit inappropriate to kill his own grandmother and father.

Brother Zhao took two steps back and gave Qin Yining and Pang Xiao a big gift with his small body upright.

"Dad, mother, Brother Zhao wants to follow his grandfather to Xiyue."

Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were shocked.

"Brother Zhao, why do you say that? Don't you like being around your parents?"

Qin Yining's hands and feet felt cold. She had not taken care of the children personally since they were young. She always felt guilty and worried that the children would not want to kiss her. Now that Brother Zhao said he was going to Xiyue, how could she let go?

Brother Zhao said in a sweet voice but sonorously: "Mother, I am an adult. When my grandfather taught "Warring States Policy", he said that it was Master Zuo who advised the Queen Mother Zhao. The Queen Mother Zhao favored Lord Chang'an and gave him a generous reward. A salary, a fertile fief, and endless jewels, but they refused to give him the opportunity to make contributions in the beginning. If a person has no merits but has so many treasures, that is... what grandpa said is unworthy of virtue. No matter how much land and jewels you have in your hands, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future.

"I know that I am my father's son, and he will have many sons in the future. I like Xiyue very much, and I also like my grandpa's teachings to me. Although it is good to be around my father and mother, I don't want to be a doted one. A useless person, I want to be the emperor of Xiyue in the future!"

Everyone was stunned.

No one would have thought that a child over five years old would say such a thing!

The child tilted his head, as if he was not used to speaking so many words at once. His face turned a little red, and the small red mole between his eyebrows became even brighter.

But he still maintained his kneeling posture upright. Although his body was small, he showed some tenacity of sprouting from the ground.

"We are so weak now. If someone bullies mother, we can only ask someone to beat him up. But what if I am the emperor of Xiyue?" Zhao Geer bared his teeth at Queen Mother Yao, "Grandma, your son He is the emperor, and my mother’s son will also be the emperor in the future, no one is any weaker than the other!”

"You, you!" Queen Mother Yao fell back in anger. She couldn't argue with a child, so she could only grind her teeth fiercely.

Brother Zhao is much more sensitive than Brother Han. He has always known that their grandmother does not like them and often says unpleasant things in front of them, such as unknown origins and mixed bloodlines. Although he didn't know much, he also knew that it was not a good thing to say.

Now seeing his mother being bullied like this, even his grandfather and grandmother had to go back to Xiyue, he also showed off his gleaming baby teeth!

But Queen Mother Yao was angry, but the others didn't think so.

At first, Pang Xiao pursed his lips and suppressed laughter while listening to the child's lofty words. In the end, he burst out laughing and picked up the child.

The child's serious and cold expression was revealed on the spot: "Dad! Don't make trouble!"

"Hahaha!" Pang Xiao finally couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, he is dad's good son, he is ambitious!"

Brother Zhao's face was red, while Queen Mother Yao's face turned pale with anger.

Qin Yining stood there helplessly, holding Sun and Brother Han's hands tightly.

Intellectually, it is rare for a child to think of so much when he is only five years old. She thinks it makes sense. As a parent, you should not be too arbitrary and should respect your children. But emotionally she couldn't bear to leave. The child was still young after all, so she couldn't bear to separate!

Qin Huaiyuan came forward with a smile and rubbed Brother Zhao's head with his big hand: "Have you decided? The scenery in Xiyue is not as good as here, and maybe the food and use are not as good as here. And you have to separate from Brother Han. , and you have to be separated from your parents, what should you do if you miss them?"

"I can write a letter." Brother Zhao said firmly, "There's nothing wrong with Xiyue. It's easy to defend but hard to attack. Even if someone wants to attack us, grandpa can defend it."

Pang Xiao loves this son to death. Wouldn't it be a pity that such an outstanding child should not inherit the throne?

But he also knew that the reason why the child had such thoughts at a young age was all due to Qin Huaiyuan's good teaching.

This child is so talented that if he stays with him, he may be delayed.

The originally sad atmosphere was disturbed by Brother Zhao, and Qin Yining no longer knew whether to be sad that his parents wanted to go back to Xiyue, or to be sad that the child refused to stay.

However, both Qin Huaiyuan and Brother Zhao were equally stubborn, and Qin Yining could not stop either of them. After the dinner was over, she went back to the dormitory to feel sad in silence.

Brother Zhao and Brother Han hid in the corner hand in hand and whispered.

The two children didn't feel any sadness or reluctance at all about the separation. Instead, they both looked like little foxes who had succeeded in their scheme.

"My mother is so easy to bully. I think even if my father doesn't take concubines in the future, my grandmother will still bully my mother. I have to watch out."

"Hey!" The two children sighed in unison.

"I stay here with my father and learn more martial arts from my father, Uncle Ji and Uncle Mu, and you also learn more from your grandfather and Aunt Cao. In the future, I will teach you and you will teach me. If we exchange, I will write to you more often. of."

"I will also write to you more often." Brother Zhao nodded heavily.

Brother Han stretched out his little finger and said, "Pull the hook."

"Hang yourself on a hook and you won't be allowed to change for a hundred years!"
