Chapter 646 The Pure and Filial Ying Chengjiao, Do You Still Want the Queen Mother to Praise You?
Ying Chengyu was a little puzzled when he saw this.
He was just showing off the origin of the wine.
After all, it is also a fine wine that has been secretly hidden by many kings.
So precious!
These people don't care if they don't take a quick sip, but their faces turn green?
Ignoring these strange people, Ying Chengyu took the food box in his hand and trotted to the Queen Mother Huayang.
Putting the food box on the counter, Ying Chengyu opened the lid with his own hands, revealing the oranges on the crushed ice.
Ying Cheng smiled like a dragon offering a treasure: "Grandma, these are the oranges my grandson just brought back!"
"These are serious Huainan oranges. My grandson just ate one on the way here."
"It's so sweet!"
"Grandma, try it!"
While talking, Ying Chengyu opened an orange with his own hands and presented it to the Queen Mother Huayang.
The smile on Queen Mother Huayang's face couldn't be suppressed at all, and she kept saying: "Okay, okay, come and have a taste."
"Hmm~~~Sweet! So sweet!"
"It tastes sweeter than I remember!"
These were the oranges that my good grandson brought back to her personally from thousands of miles away.
It's sweet in your mouth, and it's even sweeter in your heart.
Compare it with other tribesmen who only know how to fight for power?
Sweeter!
Ying Chengqiao smiled even more happily: "Grandma, you just like it!"
"Sun'er went out to destroy Chu in this battle and took Zhufang City as a fief."
"And this Zhufang City happens to be located in Huainan."
"My grandson has already given instructions to Zhu Fangcheng to plant oranges everywhere and bring them to Xianyang City every year to honor his grandmother!"
Mi Chen and others:? ? ?
No, how did you have the nerve to say this in front of the Queen Mother Huayang?
The Queen Mother Huayang is a true Chu native, and most of her clan members are still in the Chu land.
You led your army to attack Chu three times. In this battle, you destroyed Chu and returned. You killed countless people of Queen Mother Huayang, and even destroyed Queen Mother Huayang's mother country.
Do you still want Queen Mother Huayang to praise you?
Queen Mother Huayang's smile also froze.
For someone like the Empress Dowager Huayang who valued friendship and longed for her hometown, how could she not feel a little bit disturbed when she heard about the demise of her motherland?
But it was her own grandson who destroyed her motherland, so what could the Queen Mother Huayang do!
After a few breaths of silence, Queen Mother Huayang sighed with reminiscence: "Zhu Fangcheng."
"that is a good place."
"Your great-grandfather is very good at dipping raw fish in Zhu Fang's vinegar and eating it with Kuaiji's fine wine."
"At that time, your great-grandfather often wanted me to eat like this, but it was really hard for me to swallow."
Thinking of the past of getting along with her father when she was young, Queen Mother Huayang's eyes turned slightly red, and she felt doubly missing in her heart.
When he was young, he resisted and pushed away his favorite delicacies delivered by his father.
But this year, I want to experience the taste that my father loved so much in the past, but I never have the chance.
Ying Chengqiao smiled and said, "Tomorrow my grandson will summon Zhu Fang to ask for wine, and summon the magistrate of Kuaiji County to buy wine."
"We will then catch fat fish along the Yangtze River and send them all together."
"At that time, my grandson will definitely try this way of eating that my great-grandfather dreamed of together with his grandmother!"
"Maybe my grandson will like this one?"
Queen Mother Huayang felt relieved: "Good!"
"Then grandma will be waiting for the delicious food!"
Ying Chengyu sat obediently next to the Queen Mother Huayang, and while helping the Queen Mother Huayang peel oranges, he said warmly: "Brother Wang and my grandson have been too busy in recent years, and my grandson has not been able to visit my grandmother for a long time."
"My grandson has discussed this with Brother Wang."
"When the weather gets warm, we will bring all my grandmother's people to Xianyang City."
"In this way, more clan members can come into the palace to talk to grandma every day."
"Chu Di is still a little unstable right now."
"When the Chu land is completely stabilized, my grandson still wants to go back to his grandmother's hometown with his grandmother."
Queen Mother Huayang was stunned: "Go back to your hometown?!"
"Xiao'er is saying that you want to go to Echeng?!!"
Ying Chengqiao smiled particularly well-behaved: "Yes! Go back to grandma's hometown!"
"Although my grandson has been stationed in Hubei City for a long time, he spends most of his time in the military camp."
"When the Guizhou troops in the city saw the army approaching, they didn't dare to go out to do business. The scene was completely different from usual."
"My grandson thought that when Chu Land becomes more stable, he asked his grandmother to take his grandson back to Echeng."
"Grandma will take her grandson to see the place where grandma lived, the courtyard where grandma once lived, and taste the delicacies that grandma will never forget."
"I just wonder if grandma is willing to let her grandson do whatever he wants?"
Queen Mother Huayang couldn't help but think of the street scene in her hometown.
But decades have already cast a veil over that childhood memory.
Can't see clearly and think in a trance.
In this lonely life, I still have the opportunity to return to my hometown, step on the stone paths I jumped on when I was a child, and look at the old trees I once climbed!
Gu, Gu is so lucky!
Queen Mother Huayang's eyes couldn't help but sparkle.
Queen Mother Huayang, who did not want to be embarrassed in front of her grandson, quickly raised her head to prevent her tears from falling, and said in a trembling voice: "Good! Good! Very good!"
"Grandma is willing!"
"Grandma is waiting!"
Queen Mother Huayang was so moved that she could not hide her tears.
But Mi Li and the others couldn't stand it any longer.
They didn't think Ying Chengyu was really doing it for the good of the Queen Mother Huayang.
In their opinion, Ying Chengxuan clearly wanted to use the hands of the Queen Mother of Huayang to escort a group of people with the surname Mi Xiong back to Xianyang City, and then use this opening to escort all the people from Chu back to Xianyang City for custody!
If so, who else can they win over to invade the local area?
As for Ying Chengqi personally accompanying Queen Mother Huayang back to her hometown?
This is definitely a horror story that can stop the children of the powerful families in the old Chu area from crying!
Mi Li had to interrupt Ying Chengqi's topic and asked in a gentle voice: "Chang'an Jun just returned victorious and hurried into the palace, but is there something important?"
Ying Chengqi looked at Mi Li in surprise: "Of course there is something important!"
"Even if these oranges are cooled with crushed ice, they can't be kept for a long time. I naturally have to send the oranges to my grandmother quickly."
"And I haven't seen my grandmother for half a year. How can I not come to see my grandmother immediately after my triumph!"
Seeing Ying Chengqi's matter-of-fact attitude, Queen Mother Huayang felt even warmer in her heart.
For Queen Mother Huayang, no power or interests are more important than a box of oranges from her hometown.
Or this little grandson who has been held in her arms since childhood.
Understand her!
But Mi Li and others obviously felt that Ying Chengjiao's words were just to evade the question!
Mi Li said seriously: "We entered the palace this time because we have something to discuss."
Xiong Wan smiled and said: "Golden autumn has arrived, and the scenery of the side hall is unique."
"How about I take Chang'an Jun to the side hall to have a look?"
This is a way of seeing off guests that is many times more straightforward than serving tea.
Normal people would understand that Mi Li and Xiong Wan are chasing people away when they hear this, and would leave and let them have a good chat.
But Ying Chengjiao smiled and said: "That's just right!"
"We are all family, let me listen too!"
"Maybe I can give you some ideas!"
Everyone: ? ? ?
What they were going to discuss just now was how to deal with the situation where Ying Zheng was in the court and Ying Chengjiao was patrolling everywhere.
Now, Ying Chengjiao also wants to listen?
Even wants to give some ideas?
What is going on!
Mi Li and the others were speechless for a moment, and Mi Chen spoke slowly: "What we just discussed is the future of our descendants."
"It is also about your future, Qie'er!"
Ying Chengqi pointed at himself in confusion: "Grandson's future?"
Mi Chen nodded: "Qe'er, have you ever thought about what your future will be like now that you are so helpful to the king?"
Ying Chengqi was silent for two breaths, and then asked tentatively: "Eat and wait for death?"
Mi Chen: ...
The silence of the Chu family's relatives was deafening!
Mi Chen asked in disbelief: "Qe'er, how can you be so unambitious!"
Ying Chengqi spread his hands helplessly: "Uncle, do you think your grandson wants this?"
"It's all forced!"
Mi Li and the others' eyes lit up, and they looked at Ying Chengqi with expectation.
Speak!
Speak of your suppressed ambition!
Although we cannot help you realize your ambitions, as long as you ask for something, we can get it, and even use it to alienate the relationship between you and the king!
Under the expectant gaze of the Chu clan relatives, Ying Chengjiao sighed softly: "My grandson likes fishing very much."
"But what's the result?"
"In recent years, the world has been at war, forcing my grandson to lead the army again and again."
"My grandson has been raising a nest for so many years, but he has only cast his rod once!"
"My grandson also likes to travel all over the world, eat all the delicious food in the world, and enjoy all the beautiful scenery in the world."
"But what's the result?"
"Don't look at my grandson's battles in most of the world, but every place I go is just for fighting, and I have no time to play."
"My grandson fought such a hard battle for Qi, but the King of Qi didn't even invite my grandson to Linzi City to play."
"After the triumph, my brother forbade my grandson to go to Daliang City to play!"
"My grandson should have been the biggest dandy in the Qin Dynasty."
"But reality has forced my grandson to become like this."
Ying Chengjiao was unhappy.
Ying Chengjiao had long heard that Linzi was the most prosperous and wealthy city in the world, and that merchants from all over the world brought most of the fun and delicious food in the world to Linzi.
He really, really, really wanted to go to Linzi for some fun!
As a result, he passed by the entrance of Linzi market twice but never entered!
After sighing, Ying Chengjiao perked up: "So my grandson is now waiting for peace in the world."
"When the world is peaceful, my grandson can go wherever he wants to play and go fishing wherever he wants!"
Ying Chengjiao's words were a true revelation of his heart.
But a speechless atmosphere lingered over the heads of all the Chu relatives.
They didn't believe a word of what Ying Chengjiao said! ! !
Even if they believed it, they had no interest in realizing Ying Chengjiao's ambition!
Mi Chen laughed awkwardly: "Ha~ha~Qiao'er is like this, it is a happy thing in life."
"But has Qiao'er ever considered his descendants?"
"Qiao'er is now helping the king to conquer the south and the north, restrain the officials, and control the local areas."
"But the strategies Qiao'er advises today will be used on your descendants in the future."
"Even if Qiao'er is indifferent, will Qiao'er's descendants be so indifferent?"
Faced with Mi Chen's earnest persuasion, Ying Chengqiao suddenly smiled: "So what my uncle and the elders are discussing today is how to deal with the supervision and control of the local areas and court officials by my grandson and brother?"
Mi Chen did not confirm, but did not deny, just looked at Ying Chengqiao steadily.
He did not believe that someone would not consider their descendants at all!
