Huilan didn't seem to believe that her younger son had made such progress, so she looked at her godbrother and asked, "How long has it been since your brother woke up?"

Xiaoya couldn't help but burst into laughter, and quickly closed her mouth to suppress her laughter. It was so hard to hold it in.

Brother Lian's face turned dark with anger, "Sister-in-law, why are you still laughing at me?"

"I'm sorry, I just..."

Xiaoya couldn't help but laugh and bent over, turning the original serious scolding into a warm and interesting scene.

"Really, my father told me today that he wants me to supervise him so that he doesn't make mistakes. He has really made progress this time."

Brother Gan couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, it's not bad. This time I have to do some personnel work. Don't mess around with cats and dogs all day long."

Huilan glanced at her youngest son and then nodded.

"Look at you, you are partial and don't believe me. You only believe it after my brother tells me."

"Who am I partial to? You don't understand in your heart? I usually allow you to mess around, so it's not considered partial."

Huilan glared at Brother Lian angrily.

"Hey, Queen Mother! Can I tell you something?"

Brother Lian hugged Huilan and kept acting coquettishly.

"What are you going to do again?"

"I want to go to Yunnan to visit, would you agree?"

Brother Lian spoke vaguely.

"Why are you going to Yunnan? Tell me clearly. If you don't tell me clearly, I won't let you go."

Huilan glanced at Brother Lian, "Don't think I don't know. I promised you to use chicken feathers as command arrows, and you can swindle your military power."

"My brother has already led troops to fight, and I want to go to other places too. I'll go to Yunnan, and I'll help you look after the trade routes. If you don't become a general, I'll go to my head office as a military advisor."

Brother Lian was quite unconvinced.

Huilan suddenly realized, "Oh, you have been making trouble for a long time because you want to borrow my connections, and you are using my name to cheat again, right?"

Li Chengze suddenly spoke, "If he wants you, give it to him. Don't keep saying that you are partial. If you can't do anything well, don't blame me for sending people to snatch you back and beat you."

"Really, you promised me?"

The business road and the connections of the frontier army were all in Huilan's hands. Back then, she held Sister Xin in her arms and used her weak body to hold up a world in the border town of Yunnan, making everyone believe that the frontier army would be victorious. The empress and the princess both Here, it gives everyone unlimited confidence.

Her prestige exceeds that of the general, but she does not have military power.

Therefore, after Li Chengze became the emperor, all the money from the business route was given to Huilan, and she did not want it, so it was left in the treasury. Everyone knew this, and therefore all the officials respected her.

Although the queen has no external rights, only the rights of the harem, there are some places where you can't go without her nod, such as the Yunnan border area. A letter would be different.

"Do you really want him to go? Give him such a large amount of money? That is one-fifth of the national treasury's income. It affects the food and drink of many people."

Huilan's face turned serious. It was a matter of national origin, regardless of whose son it was.

"Let him go. The children have grown up. Since he is willing to do business, let him do something practical and good for the Yong Dynasty. It is also good to have more money in his pocket for the people's livelihood."

After speaking, he turned to look at Brother Lian and said, "Brother Lian, you only have one chance. You know, Yunnan's trade is of great significance to your mother and me. If you ruin it, your mother will not help you anymore."

She built that business road bit by bit and spent countless efforts. It was not to make money for herself. All the money she didn't take from the business road was given to me for people's livelihood."

It was the first time that Li Chengze seriously talked about these things with his sons.

In those years, he always thought that the assassination was not painful. During those years in Yunnan, Huilan had to worry about her own safety and stabilize the people's hearts. She took the young Sister Xin to the market every day.

Buying vegetables and medicinal materials, busy with business matters.

Brother Lian stood up straight and answered seriously: "Father, please give me a chance. I think my path is different from that of the fifth and sixth brothers."

"Okay, since you want to go, then go ahead. Lan'er writes a letter to General Ma and asks him to take Brother Lian with him."

Li Chengze nodded in agreement.

Huilan sighed, "Okay, you are the only one of my children who knows how to use poisons in medicine. You must remember my words, don't use poisons indiscriminately, let alone research new poisons, especially poisons that are highly contagious.

, must not be abused, it will harm the harmony of heaven and earth."

"Yes, my son has remembered it."

"You come tomorrow. I wrote a letter for you to take away tomorrow. If you want to go, just go. Don't forget that without the support of the people, I wouldn't be able to get here today."

Huilan repeatedly warned her son not to lose his original intention.

"Yes, my son remembers his mother's teachings and dare not forget them."

"Well, let's have someone prepare the food."

Huilan seemed to be in a low mood.

When Xiaoya saw her, she pulled her to sit down and poured her a cup of warm tea. "Mother, I heard that there will be a performance in the theater tomorrow. Since we are in good terms, I will go too. Mother, you have to take me with you."

"Okay, I'll take you with me, I won't be able to live without you."

Seeing Xiaoya coaxing her like this, Huilan couldn't help but laugh.

When she is happy, the whole family can be happy, otherwise the atmosphere would be depressed.

"Tomorrow is Peony's play? I really like his play."

Xiaoya joins in the fun and makes Huilan happy.

"Well, his plays are good, and I like to listen to them too."

Dinner was served, and the whole family gathered together to eat. Xiaoya talked softly and Brother Lian played tricks. The meal was very happy and relaxing.

On the way back, Xiaoya asked curiously: "Brother God, why is my mother's mood not so high when I mention Yunnan."

"Probably because those days were very difficult and very precious to my father and mother. The mother said that she didn't know what to say, but she would always remember them in her heart. It was her most beautiful and precious memory, but it was also a little bit...

pain."

After sighing, he said, "The number of soldiers who went together gradually decreased, which inevitably makes people sad. Thinking of these mothers and queens makes me feel sad."

Xiaoya nodded, "Do you think Brother Lian can do a good job if he goes there?"

"Yes, I believe he can do a good job. In fact, the queen mother is just worried that he will be injured and feels that he is still young and is uneasy. Brother Lian knows what can and should not be done. He has a sense of proportion."

"That's good, but you should prepare something in advance. You definitely need to bring medicine, clothes, and a few loyal guards."

Xiaoya counted on her fingers.

"You're right. Remember to remind your mother tomorrow."

"Okay, don't worry, I will do it."

Brother Gang took Xiaoya's hand and walked back slowly. The lanterns were first lit, and the palace was hung with all kinds of beautiful lanterns. The red walls and glazed tiles made the red walls extraordinarily beautiful and majestic.

The next day Xiaoya went to greet Huilan and brought a written note.

When I went there, I saw Huilan holding a letter and talking to Brother Lian about these things.

"Mother, Brother Lian, hello. Yesterday, Your Highness told me to think about what to prepare for my brother. Some things should be prepared earlier. I'm afraid that I forgot to write down a list. Mother, I'll take a look at what's missing. I

Let your highness go and prepare."
