Chapter 318 Surprise and Shock
Most of the people in Fu Sheng Ru Meng have long been replaced by people from Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
So when the doorman opened the door and saw that it was his eldest daughter, he quickly ordered someone to report to the Marquis of Zhenbei, while he himself led the way for Shen Tianjiao.
The last time she came to Fu Sheng Ruo Meng, she was in a bad mood because she came to send her son and daughter off, and it was night, so Shen Tianjiao was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery here.
Today was the first time she had truly witnessed this dreamlike scenery.
Looking at the unique scenery in front of her, Shen Tianjiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart that her cousin was indeed a talented person.
If he had not been obsessed with fame and fortune and eventually trapped himself in it, he might have become a great architect.
This dreamlike scenery is different from the imperial palace and other aristocratic families. It does not have so much solemnity and dignity, nor does it have an overly luxurious and wealthy feeling.
But the overall look gives off a refreshing feeling that makes people feel indescribably comfortable when they are in it.
If one had to say that this "Life is Like a Dream" had any shortcomings, it would be that it was too big. Shen Tianjiao's legs and feet were sore from walking. She now regretted very much why she didn't take a carriage in, but chose to walk in.
Just when Shen Tianjiao didn't want to leave, she suddenly heard cheers. There was nothing strange about hearing cheers here, but Shen Tianjiao seemed to have heard some words like "The prince is great."
What amazing feat did her son do to deserve so much cheers?
This couldn't help but arouse Shen Tianjiao's curiosity, and she suddenly decided to go over and join in the fun and see what was going on.
When Shen Tianjiao arrived, the cheering had ended and the ceremony of killing the bear, skinning and cutting the meat was underway.
Looking at the bloody scene in front of her, Shen Tianjiao, who had not been to the battlefield for a long time and could not bear the strong smell of blood, couldn't stand it anymore.
But on the other hand, her son, who is usually gentle and docile, even a little timid and has mysophobia, is now held in the arms of her old father and is watching the scene in front of him with great interest.
Shen Tianjiao looked at the scene in front of her and could hardly believe her eyes. Is the child in her father's arms really her son?
How come this child has become like a completely different person in just over a month since coming here? The change is so big that even she, an old mother, can hardly accept it.
In the past, Shen Tianjiao also felt that Li Muyang’s character was too weak, docile, and timid, which was not the character that an emperor should have.
It's not that she hasn't thought about correcting Li Muyang's temperament, but she is always busy with things, so this matter has to be postponed indefinitely.
Shen Tianjiao knew that it would be difficult to correct Li Muyang's temperament since he grew up among a group of women and had no father or brothers by his side.
The reason why she asked the Marquis of Zhenbei to bring Li Muyang to Fu Sheng Ruo Meng this time was not only for Li Muyang's safety, but also because she wanted Li Muyang to stay with his grandfather and uncle for a few more days, which would make him more masculine.
It will also allow Li Muyang to stay with his grandfather and uncle and learn more about their ways of dealing with people.
But Shen Tianjiao never expected that what she saw now was much more powerful than she expected.
This is really the saying that when a man is away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes. If this child continues to stay like this, will she become like those rough men under her father's command?
The old mother has now begun to worry about what her quiet and gentlemanly son will become in the future.
But Shen Tianjiao didn't know that her son had prepared a bigger surprise for her.
"Master, should we go up?" Chunchao asked when he saw Shen Tianjiao staring upwards.
"No, let's not go up. Let's go to the study and wait."
After all, Shen Tianjiao is now the queen, and the regent queen who holds great power. Life is like a dream, which is not like the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. The people in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion are all their own people and will not easily reveal her whereabouts to others.
But this life is different. There are many people here, all kinds of people, so she still needs to be careful.
Shen Tianjiao did not go to find Zhenbei Hou and Li Muyang, but went directly to the courtyard where Zhenbei Hou lived and waited for her father and son to come back.
After sitting down and drinking some tea, Shen Tianjiao finally felt like she was alive again.
This was the longest distance she had walked since she came here. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't tired.
Chunchao also saw that Shen Tianjiao was indeed tired, so he arranged both massage and leg massage.
Before Shen Tianjiao could completely relax, her cute and soft little girl Liu came.
Li Muyan, who had just woken up, started crying for some reason today, and no matter how the wet nurses tried to comfort her, it was no use.
There was really nothing they could do. The wet nurses were afraid to let Li Muyan, the darling whom both the Queen and the Marquis held dear, cry for too long, so they had no choice but to carry her and send her to the Marquis.
The moment she walked in and saw Shen Tianjiao, Li Muyan immediately stopped crying, opened her little arms and fluttered towards Shen Tianjiao.
"Oh, my little baby, do you miss mommy?" Seeing her little girl, Shen Tianjiao's eyes suddenly felt sore and she had the urge to cry.
Holding her daughter in her arms, Shen Tianjiao buried her head in her daughter's small shoulders. The baby was full of the scent of milk, which smelled very pleasant.
Li Muyan was extremely well-behaved in her mother's arms, as if the pitiful and troublesome girl who was crying just now was not her.
Shen Tianjiao raised her head and kissed Li Muyan's soft and fragrant chubby face. It had only been a short while since she last saw the child, but he had grown a lot taller. Who knew how much taller he would be when she saw him next time.
Li Muyan looked at Shen Tianjiao, her eyes shining brightly. She stretched out her chubby little hand and poked Shen Tianjiao's face.
Suddenly, without any warning, he spoke, "Mother, I miss you."
Li Muyan's words really shocked everyone in the room.
No one has ever heard this young master speak. Shen Tianjiao has heard this little girl call her "mother", but only once.
But this time it was different. Li Muyan not only called her mother clearly, but also said that she missed her mother.
How could this not make people excited? Her An An could finally speak and was no longer a little mute.
"Oh, baby, mother misses you too." Shen Tianjiao couldn't control herself this time and cried with joy.
Li Muyan reached out her hand obediently and wiped Shen Tianjiao's tears, "Don't cry, mother."
"Mom is not crying, she is happy." Shen Tianjiao hugged Li Muyan and couldn't get enough of her love for her.
"Congratulations, Her Majesty. Little Princess, this is a sign of great fortune and good luck, as the noble lady has spoken."
Hearing Li Muyan speak, the wet nurses beside them immediately knelt down and congratulated Shen Tianjiao.
You know, this little ancestor has never been able to speak, which has driven people crazy. No one knows how many imperial doctors have come, but they couldn't find a way to make her speak. Now she can suddenly speak, how can this not be a great joy?
"Well, everyone, get up. You've all worked hard taking care of the princess."
Shen Tianjiao looked at Chunchao from the side and said, "Chunchao, come and enjoy."
"Yes." Chunchao bowed to Shen Tianjiao and took the wet nurses out.
"An An, call me mother again." The room became quiet, and Shen Tianjiao couldn't help teasing her daughter.
"Mother." Li Muyan's clear and loud voice sounded again as she wished, which really made Shen Tianjiao very happy.
The Marquis of Zhenbei had already received a letter saying that Shen Tianjiao had arrived, so he took Li Muyang away from the meat distribution site.
When Li Muyang heard that his mother was coming, he was extremely excited. He trotted all the way back while holding the hand of Zhenbei Hou.
It was also thanks to the fact that Marquis Zhenbei was strong and often practiced martial arts to keep fit, otherwise he would have been beaten to pieces by Li Muyang.
"Mother." The voice came before Li Muyang entered the house.
Then came the strong smell of blood on his body. Shen Tianjiao frowned and ordered, "Xia He, take the prince downstairs to bathe and change clothes first."
"An An is still young, and can't stand the sight or smell of blood."
"Yes." Xia He ran out in a hurry and stopped Li Muyang when he was about to rush into the house.
"Your Highness, I will take you to bathe and change clothes first. Once you are ready, please come and see the Empress."
After saying this, Xia He lowered her head and pointed at the bloodstains and torn clothes on Li Muyang's body.
Li Muyang finally reacted. He covered his mouth with his hand and asked softly, "Mother, are you angry?"
Xia He smiled and shook her head, and replied in a very low voice: "No, let's go take a shower and change clothes first."
Looking at the two sneaky people, one big and one small, in front of him, the Marquis of Zhenbei couldn't help laughing.
Marquis Zhenbei looked down at the bloodstains on his clothes and decided to go take a shower and change his clothes.
He has to behave well now, otherwise his precious daughter might be angry with him because of what happened just now.
Soon Li Muyang took a shower and changed his clothes, washed away the bloody smell on his body, put on clothes fumigated with various spices, and turned into a fragrant young man again.
Xia He held Li Muyang's hand and went to meet his mother, Shen Tianjiao.
Before Li Muyang arrived, his grandfather, Marquis Zhenbei, had already finished bathing and changing his clothes, and told his mother in the study what had just happened.
It was not a big deal to hear this, but after hearing this, Shen Tianjiao was almost scared to death.
Fighting with a black bear, is this something her timid son, who sometimes doesn't even dare to walk on the road at night, could do?
Covering her pounding heart, Shen Tianjiao really thought that there was something wrong with her ears and she was hallucinating.
Marquis Zhenbei held Li Muyan in his arms, and the two of them looked at Shen Tianjiao together. They, one old and one young, didn't even dare to breathe.
"Dad, Dad, how can you be so careless? That's a black bear. It's so much bigger than that kid."
"Luckily nothing happened today. If something had happened, what would have happened?"
Shen Tianjiao had only one thought in her mind at this moment. No matter whether the palace was safe or not, she had to take the two children back this time. Otherwise, if it was a black bear this time, who knows what it would be next time.
If this continues, she won't have to wait until she has dealt with her enemies and supported Li Muyang to ascend the throne as emperor, because she will have been scared to death before that.
The Marquis of Zhenbei scratched his head, smiled innocently at his daughter and said, "Jiaojiao, Dad knows you're worried. To be honest, Dad was also scared when he first saw it."
"But do you know what the first thing that kid said when he saw me?"
"He said, 'Grandfather, I used the dagger you gave me to blind the big black bear's eyes, and it's going crazy now.'"
"He didn't express fear at first, let alone cry. What does this mean? It means he's growing up."
"He has been training with the soldiers these days and has heard many stories about their bravery in killing the enemy on the battlefield."
"He must be longing in his heart to be like those soldiers and one day become the bravest man in Yunli."
"Jiaojiao, you are his mother, but you are also Yunli's regent queen. He is Yunli's future king, and he shoulders the life and death of a country."
"You protected him too well and raised him too well. This is not good for him, and it's even worse for Yun Li."
"Yunli's king should be a fierce and strong-willed king."
"He can command thousands of troops to fight against the enemy and protect the people of Yunli and the integrity of the country."
"He should be someone who can control the overall situation, act decisively, manage the political situation well, and have his own attitude."
"If you just blindly protect him like this, letting him hide under your wings and accept your protection, he won't be able to be independent."
"He has to learn to grow up on his own. There are many things that you can't just tell him what to do. He has to experience it himself before he knows what to do."
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at Shen Tianjiao and continued, "Do you know why he didn't run away or call for help the moment he encountered that big black bear?"
"He told me that his mother was too tired from handling state affairs all day, and he heard that bear paws were very tonic, so he wanted to chop off the paws and send them back to you to replenish your body."
"He also said that he would peel off the bear's skin and make a coat for me, his grandfather, so that I could wear it majestically to go to war."
"This is the child's filial piety, and it also gave him the courage to overcome his fear and fight the big black bear."
"So, Jiaojiao, don't scold him just because you're worried. This will hurt the child and make him lose the courage to face difficulties and dangers in the future."
"What happened today was just an accident. Dad will reflect on it and make sure that something like this will never happen again."
It has to be said that Marquis Zhenbei has his own unique insights and experiences in educating children.
