Before I knew it, it was already a thousand chapters, so let's commemorate it.

On a pier outside Jiangling City, surrounded by maids and servants like stars arching the moon, the young lady Cao Hongyao dressed up was also looking forward to the sparkling water surface. Until a pillar of smoke appeared on the skyline in the distance, it turned into a faint sound of sound, and then it magnified into a shadow of a ship that broke through the waves.

It was a waterwheel ship that kept rolling with water, but there was a huge building like a hump on the deck of the ship, and there was still a hot smoke coming out of it all over. As the steamer ship slowly approached, several long flat barges dragged behind him, the two-story passenger ship, open-air cargo hold, and troop transport ship were also revealed in front of everyone.

At this moment, Cao Hongyao finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to meet him. Because today is her adoptive mother, Empress Cao, who has escaped from Chang'an and raised in Lantian County for more than a month, then went south to Jiangling. For this reason, the Grand Governor's Office is still working on a rare steaming car ship between the small and medium-sized cars and boats between Wuguanhe and Danshui.

Then, Cao Hongyao, who was begging to stop in front of the pier, saw some men, women, young and old who were walking down the barges one after another, as if they were in a different world or full of gladness, were then taken away by a group of military officials who came forward. When the people and goods carried on the previous barges were transported away one after another, they were transported away one after another.

From the last smallest double-decker barge, a maid also helped a woman who described her thin and dressed up in a homely manner. When she saw the other party, Cao Hongyao could no longer hold back her. She ignored the persuasion and begging of her companions, and without hesitation, she took up her complex and gorgeous pleated skirt without hesitation, and rushed to the trestle almost like the wind.

Amid another exclamation and scream, he pounced on the woman and hugged her, choking and sobbing, saying, "Mother, Mother, you are here..."

"Yao'er, Yao'er, you are a wife and a mother, why are you still so free when you have a child!"

However, Empress Cao, who described her thin and bright eyes, looked at the chaos and was afraid of people around her, but she smiled bitterly and patted her shoulders:

"I really felt happy and anxious when I saw my mother return safely."

Cao Hongyao then burst into tears and smiled and raised her head from her shoulders, and said with a hint of shame:

"Okay, okay, I'm still in a hurry, are so many people watching?"

Empress Cao also sighed helplessly with warmth and nostalgia:

"Yes, my daughter is so happy, please forgive me..."

When Cao Hongyao heard this, he seemed to be a little childish:

"You, I should not forgive you, but let you servants and entourage be lenient... Yao'er is the chief concubine of the King of Chu after all. All actions represent the dignity and etiquette of the royal palace, and the dignity! Don't let it go easily..."

Queen Cao pinched her hand more helplessly:

"What my mother said is that my daughter is just too happy."

Cao Hongyao then wiped his eyes and took Queen Cao's arm, returning to the original description of Dian Jingshu, and summoned lightly to the people who kept a distance behind him:

"You all come up to meet you."

Hearing this sentence, the maids, servants and guards who stood severity and stood outside in a desperate situation, came forward and bowed together and bowed:

"I've seen the Empress..."

"I really don't dare to be a sensation. I'm no longer a concubine. I'm just an ordinary old woman. I'll call me Cao in the future."

Queen Cao said in a humble voice in a vague and panic:

"This is what Amus means, and naturally I also meant..."

Cao Hongyao smiled and looked at his left and right:

"I've seen the old lady..."

The crowd surrounded by people who were looking forward to each other, and then quickly changed their words and said:

When Empress Cao saw this scene and heard the name of this, she fell into the last stone in her heart and her expression became more and more friendly and warm. After all, before coming to Jiangling, she had been uneasy and overturned in her heart, and she might have encountered various situations. Although she had a daughter as a guarantee, as the short-lived Empress of Daqi, she was imprisoned until her death by the Xin Dynasty, which was inseparable and common.

Therefore, the result of the adoptive daughter Cao Hongyao coming to greet her is quite satisfied and at ease. After all, if the King of Chu mobilized troops to greet her in person, she would have to worry about any demands and costs that she could not bear. Sometimes too grand courtesy may not be a good thing, but it would be a burden and a urgency for a woman who was destroyed like her.

On the other hand, what made her happy was that Cao Hongyao showed authority and influence in front of these people, which also represented her true identity and status of the hostess in the palace. Therefore, Cao Hongyao's sincere expression of sincere feelings at any time and anywhere also represented the King of Chu's enough favor and relaxed attitude towards her.

This made her feel helpless and sighed, but she felt a little relieved. Thinking of this, Empress Cao dragged out a child with a restrained and timid face from behind and said to Cao Hongyao:

"This is the only blood left by Aye in the world... Ding'er, why don't you call Ajie..."

"Ah...Ah...Ah sister..."

Huang Ding, a child who had already been seven years old but had become timid and flickered inward eyes because of too many shocking changes, also shouted in a low voice:

"Be good at Ding'er, Sister Ah hugged you too..."

Cao Hongyao, who was smiling when she heard this call, held his hand without hesitation and walked towards the vehicle not far away. Seeing Cao Hongyao's reaction, Empress Cao also let go of her last trace of worry and worry. Although this was not her own, she also had someone to execute the child's biological mother with her own hands.

But no matter how many things happened before, at least the man who once ruled the Supreme Lord delivered these two children to her hands at the last moment of death; and she had lost one of them and could no longer lose the last blood in the world. Now, judging from her daughter's reaction, what she was most worried about did not happen because of this.

In this way, he might have the opportunity to live without illness and disaster until he grows up without any illness, then marry and have children incognito, and pass on the man's bloodline. That would be the best result he could get as a remnant of the Da Qi who was unable to tolerate both the old and the new dynasties.

Thinking of this, Empress Cao, who had already stepped into the special carriage with support, suddenly said, "Yao'er, I want to discuss something with you..."

"My mother is just instructed,"

Cao Hongyao said with a smile:

"I want to ask the king for grace to let this child follow my surname in the future to spread the word of Cao's family..."

Empress Cao said seriously:

"My mother is really meant..."

Cao Hongyao couldn't help but pause when he heard this, but he was filled with mixed feelings:

In Jiangling City, the scene on the wharf was reported to Zhou Huaian in full swing. Then he asked Yang Shigu, the chief military officer of the Taiping Grand Commander's Office, who was the former commander of Huang Chao, and asked:

"What do you think?"

"It's good to deal with it like this. The lord has really put a good intention."

Yang Shigu also nodded slightly and said:

In addition to the disguised statements and sidelines of the majority of people, the young lady Cao Hongyao was just to welcome her family. In this way, many people inside and outside the Grand Governor would be at ease, no matter what their thoughts and plans they had, as well as the subsequent conspiracies and means surrounding them, would be lost.

"Then, the king doesn't know how to arrange the Huang child?"

Luo Yin, who was looking strange next to him, couldn't help but ask what Yang Shigu was inconvenient to ask:

"As a relative's child, it's better to raise him until he is an adult and give him a living task. No matter how much grudges and entanglements are between adults, it's time to end it here..."

Zhou Huaian said without hesitation:

"The king is the wise and wise..."

Luo Yin nodded and understood;

Obviously, this is also the best statement and disguised position of refuting the rumors before. It is equivalent to telling everyone directly that the Taiping Army does not need the banner and legacy left by Huang Chao's New Qi Dynasty; it is directly regarded as a relative in a sense, and can also give up the name of being kind and protecting the "former dynasty royal family".

"I wonder if the king wants to refer to the story of Yuwen and Yang in the previous dynasty?"

Fan Chuo, who was the head of the civil servants present, also spoke slowly:

"How is this possible? It's not a person who has made great contributions and contributions to our Taiping Army? We never rely on kindness and preferential treatment of the old and young people in the previous dynasty to win over the hearts of the gentry... "

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but smile:

"It is enough to ensure that a middle-aged and upper-middle-level family has no worries and basic safety. Excessive preferential treatment will only make those real people feel disappointed."

"The king is the king of heroes..."

Fan Chuo said with sincerity:

However, he couldn't help but think more than others. For example, the Lord of the Taiping Army casually put the orphan on the surface, which may have another intention. It is to observe and identify how many people in the Taiping Army's Grand Governor's Office have nostalgic origins, or the bait/open conspiracy that they want to do.

"Old Fan, don't think that if I shout a few more words about the wise and wise, I will give you more salary and treatment."

However, the next moment, Zhou Huaian laughed and joked:

——I am the dividing line—

At the same time, Zhu Laosan, who had successfully invaded Qiao County (Qiaocheng District), the capital of Bozhou (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province), looked at the flags of people gathered outside the city, but showed a sneer on his face.
