The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 473

"Cousin, this is Xiao Yu'er and Mo Ruyu." Shangguan Ziling's voice was gentle but firm, as if she was announcing a great news. "Yu'er, this is uncle, call someone." She lowered her head and guided Xiao Yu'er with a smile.

Mo Ruyu blinked her big eyes, stretched out her tender hands, and called out sweetly, "Uncle, hug me!" The voice was crisp and pleasant, like a clear spring in a mountain stream, which made people happy.

Bei Suqi was slightly stunned, then he smiled in surprise. He stretched out his hand and carefully held Xiao Yuer in his arms. "Xiao Yuer, right? Tell your uncle how you have been living down there these years." His words were full of concern and curiosity.

Xiao Yuer didn't seem to be afraid of strangers. She started to talk about life in the abyss, the strange plants, the unique scenery, and her friends Xiao Bai and Xiao Hua. Although her language was simple, it was full of innocence and joy, and Bei Suqi could not help but exclaim and laugh.

However, Mo Shaoxie, who was standing by, had a rather ugly expression on his face. He frowned and stared at Xiao Yuer, with an indescribable emotion in his heart. How could his precious daughter not be shy at all? She even asked him to hold her.

Shangguan Ziling naturally felt Mo Shaoxie's emotional fluctuations. She gently held his hand and gave him a comforting smile. Shangguan Ziling was helpless about this daughter slave.

"Okay, let's go back." Shangguan Ziling said softly, "It's been five years, and I miss Xiao Yier so much." Her words were full of longing and longing for her loved ones.

Mo Shaoxie's expression softened a little when he heard this. He hugged Shangguan Ziling tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his own bones and blood. "Okay."

Mo Feng said: Three years ago, Xiliang learned that the master of Dongyue was missing, so he took advantage of the situation to stir up disputes on the border and tried to take advantage of the situation. The military generals in the court were dying out, and most of the civil officials advocated peace. The emperor was facing a lot of pressure and it was difficult to make a decision.

At this time, an astonishing piece of news came like a bolt from the blue. The three-year-old young prince volunteered to go to the border and vowed to drive out the invading Xiliang army. This news caused an uproar in the court. People talked about it, some were skeptical, some were worried, but more were expectant and curious.

After hearing the news, the emperor thought carefully and finally decided to let the young prince lead the Mohist army to the war.

At the same time, all the masters of the Guisha Palace also went out in secret, vowing to protect the safety of the young master to the death.

This decision was undoubtedly a bet on the future of the Dongyue Dynasty, and the bet was on the three-year-old young prince.

On the battlefield at the border, the young prince showed amazing talent. Although he was young, he was a master of military tactics and commanded the troops with great determination. Under his leadership, the Dongyue army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

After two years, the young prince personally led his troops to capture the imperial city of Xiliang and killed the Yelu royal family in one fell swoop. From then on, Xiliang submitted to the Dongyue Dynasty and became a county under its rule.

When the news reached the palace, everyone in the court was shocked. The emperor appointed the young prince as the Grand Marshal of the Army, in charge of all the military power of the Dongyue Dynasty.

Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie were stunned. They couldn't imagine that a child who was only five years old could achieve such a brilliant record.

Mo Ying added, "Three days ago, news came that the young master was on his way back." This news excited everyone.

Xiao Yuer heard their conversation from the side and cheered, "Wow, brother is so awesome! Brother is the grand marshal, no one will dare to bully me from now on." Her voice was full of admiration and pride.

Bei Suqi held Xiao Yuer in his arms and said with a smile, "That's right. You are so good at using troops at such a young age. You are even better than your father."

"Ling'er, what do you think?" Mo Shaoxie asked softly with a smug smile on his lips.

"I... felt dizzy after listening to this. Was Mo Feng really talking about our five-year-old son - Xiao Yier?" Shangguan Ziling murmured.

When Mo Shaoxie heard this, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes and he gently patted her shoulder.

"Ling'er heard it right, he is indeed the son of me and Ling'er." He whispered, his voice full of pride. He raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "When will Xiao Yi'er be able to return to the court?"

Mo Feng stood aside and answered respectfully: "According to the distance, it should take another ten days."

Mo Shaoxie nodded, as if he had already seen the grand occasion of Xiao Yier's return to the court.

He turned around and hugged Shangguan Ziling. After the group went down the mountain, Mo Ying and other secret guards had already brought the horses. After they got on the horses, they galloped towards the direction of the dynasty.

On horseback, Shangguan Ziling snuggled tightly in Mo Shaoxie's arms. She was very happy. It had been five years and she was back. Dad, Mom, and Big Brother, are you all right?

The sound of horse hooves echoed on the ancient road, and the group walked farther and farther away.

As the sun sets, the afterglow fills the road on the way home. A group of people ride on their horses and slowly drive into the imperial city. The horses' hooves step on the bluestone road, making a crisp echo.

Xiao Yuer sat on the horse, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement. This was her first time returning to this legendary imperial city, and her heart was full of anticipation and longing.

The streets of the imperial city were bustling with people and cars, the cries of vendors could be heard one after another, and the aroma of various delicacies filled the air.

Xiao Yuer looked at all this, as if she was in a colorful dream. This was a scene she had never seen in the abyss, although she had heard her mother talk about it every day, but she had never seen it.

Her eyes were wide open, and she kept pointing at the stalls on both sides of the street, shouting, "Daddy, Mommy, I want to eat that, that, that..."

Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling smiled at each other. They knew that Xiaoyuer had an irresistible temptation for food. So, they got off their horses and took Xiaoyuer through the crowd.

Mo Feng and others followed behind, leading their horses.

They came to a pastry shop, and Xiao Yuer was immediately attracted by the exquisite pastries. She pointed at a colorful pastry, her eyes gleaming with desire. Mo Shaoxie saw this and immediately bought a piece and handed it to her.

Xiao Yuer took the pastry, took a bite carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Then, they came to a candied haws stall. When Xiao Yuer saw the crystal clear candied haws, she immediately forgot about the cakes in her hands and rushed to the stall holding Shangguan Ziling's hand.

Shangguan Ziling looked at her lovingly, smiled and bought a string of candied haws and handed it to her. Xiao Yuer took the candied haws and licked it impatiently. The sweet taste made her squint her eyes.
