Chapter 117 Honesty

Zhang Xiaodao listened to the Queen's rebellious question and said calmly for a moment: "Airplane? Train?"

"What are you talking about?" the queen asked with her dark eyebrows raised.

Zhang Xiaodao's disappointment was beyond words. At this point, he understood that the Queen was not the same person as him. If so, how could she hear the "plane" and "train" without any response?

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just curious." Zhang Xiaodao sighed.

The Queen narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the blue sky, and said softly: "I told me the broom star to call meteor stars."

Zhang Xiaodao was stunned and watched the queen fall silent, and it was really hard to continue asking questions.

Fifteen years ago, Lianhua Lane was still a real small street. The morning here is always filled with the smell of beans with the smell of brine. There are either soy milk and fried dough sticks or sesame cakes and porridge.

The Empress at that time was not the queen, but just a girl dressed in coarse linen clothes and named Wen Qinglan.

Her daily job is to make tofu to support her old mother. She once quietly fantasized about how she could get out of here, but soon she had to work, and then learn to forget numbly, and finally forget all her longing for beauty in her heart, but her skills in making tofu are becoming more and more skillful.

Although life is a little numb, it is particularly stable and down-to-earth. As Wen Qinglan grows older, she becomes more and more beautiful. Her reputation resounds throughout Shengjing without knowing it.

There are only five small tables at the door of the bean flower shop. Every morning, before Wen Qinglan woke up, diners who came to see him filled the small table. It is very common for them to squeeze out more than a dozen people in one table.

Wen Qinglan has always been cold to these people and maintained the relationship between the boss and the customer very well. Later, an old man came.

The old man ate tofu for three months in a row, and Wen Qinglan gradually became familiar with the old man. The old man was not those prodigal sons with very clear goals, so the two gradually became friends.

This kind of life lasted for half a year, and one day the night became darker. The old man squatted in front of the well outside the store as usual to wash his dishes.

Wen Qinglan was very grateful to the old man for his help and took on the most tiring work in the store, so she took out the big duck pear that she originally bought for her mother and gave it to the old man for food.

The old man suddenly said that he was leaving, and Wen Qinglan became sad inexplicably.

The old man asked: "Have you ever thought that one day you will not be making tofu, but will go to a place you have never thought about to enjoy the glory and wealth of your life?"

Wen Qinglan shook her head inexplicably. For her, it would be the greatest blessing to marry a man she liked.

The old man pointed to the direction of the palace and said, "For example, the palace?"

Wen Qinglan suddenly laughed and said softly: "Old man, how could I go where? Even if I go, what can I do and become a palace maid? Then it would be better to run my tofu shop well and make it a century-old store. This is more practical."

The old man did not reply, but raised his head and said, "Look, meteor."

If it wasn't Wen Qinglan here but Zhang Xiaodao. Zhang Xiaodao would definitely scold you for being an idiot. Such a bad trick is still being used.

But here is Wen Qinglan, she still raised her head and saw the broom star.

"Make a wish."

"What wish?"

"You listen to me, it's very effective."

For some reason, the meteor in the sky was extremely slow. Yang Qinglan stretched out one hand and joked: "If you really make a wish, let me become the queen. Now you will be satisfied."

The old man smiled foolishly and continued to wash dishes like he was on weekdays. But this time he never came back after leaving.

Although Wen Qinglan occasionally missed the old man, she still lived a numb and boring life, and she never thought of the wish she made for the meteor.

The next spring, flowers bloomed, and another unusual guest came to the tofu stall. This time, it was not an old man. But a young man who always likes to laugh.

The young man is not like other Wen Qinglan's suitors, who always show off his family background or show off his ink in his stomach. He just smiles shamelessly.

Some people mocked him, he laughed, Wen Qinglan refused him to help with work, he laughed, some people said he was shameless, and he laughed unscrupulously.

The shameless young man laughed so hard that he disappeared in this day. Time flies, and the business of the tofu shop is still good. The cicadas in summer are constantly disturbing people's peaceful life, and the young man is back.

Although it has not been seen for several months, Wen Qinglan is deeply impressed by this young man who loves to smile. This time, the shameless young man, regardless of whether Wen Qinglan agrees or not, was like the old man back then, squatted by the well and started washing dishes.

Wen Qinglan, who missed the old man very much, did not stop him this time, but the young man asked: "Are you literate?"

Wen Qinglan shook her head and the young man said, "I will ask you a teacher tomorrow."

The next day, the young man did not come, but a teacher really came. Wen Qinglan thought that it was always good to read, so she started learning, and thought that when the young man came next time, she would give him the money for the teacher to ask for the teacher.

The young man went to the tofu shop again after January and started washing dishes very consciously. Wen Qinglan came to him with the silver. The young man asked again: "I heard that you are studying very quickly, so you should be promoted."

After saying that, he laughed and gradually moved away. Later, a makeup teacher, a history teacher, a political teacher came to the bean flower shop...

After repeating this fourteen times, Wen Qinglan is no longer a girl who only knows bean flowers, but has gradually developed a favorable impression of young people.

The fifteenth time, the young man came to the bean flower shop and did not go to wash dishes. He stood in the afterglow of the sunset and asked, "Wen Qinglan, would you please marry me?"

Wen Qinglan was dull, but the young man laughed and hugged her into his arms. At that time, the afterglow was in full swing. The young man and Wen Qinglan pulled their long backs and walked into the palace.

…………

…………

The Queen closed her bright eyes gently and broke free from the memories.

"That was an old man, he was very tall, he told me that he was called a meteor and could make a wish. I never saw him again since then."

Tang Yinlong naturally knew Wen Qinglan's memories well, and he smiled and said, "The wish she made at that time was to become the queen, haha."

Zhang Xiaodao smiled. Seeing His Majesty the Emperor pick up another vegetable and chew it out loud, he suddenly felt that the old man who knew how to meteor was not important, and said with a smile: "I wish you will be together with the Empress forever and live together until old age."

Tang Yinlong put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and asked: "Why did you suddenly talk about this?"

Zhang Xiaodao scratched his head and said, "Maybe the Lord and the Empress are really different from what I imagined."

"Is this related to what you said just now?"

"This kind of difference is really enviable, so I want to bless you."

"I love to hear this flattery." Tang Yinlong laughed and patted the Queen's shoulder. Wen Qinglan shook her head helplessly and said, "It can be considered to have found someone who can match your appetite."

"Your Majesty, Empress, I want to tell you a story."

"Huh?" Tang Yinlong seemed to notice the uneasy feeling after Zhang Xiaodao said this, so he said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I might as well say it."

Tang Miaomiao slapped his little hands at this time and said, "Xiaodao is the best at telling stories."

Wen Qinglan glared at Tang Miaomiao, but could not cover the loving look in her eyes.

Zhang Xiaodao said in a deep voice: "At that time, there was a border army. He was ordered to enter Beijing and walked along with his comrades who had returned home, and went to his comrades' home to rest."

"This comrade-in-arms has a daughter. Because he has been in the border army for many years, the relationship between father and daughter is not so good."

"His daughter is very strong. She has lived alone for many years after her parents are far away from her. However, usually such girls seem strong on the outside. In fact, they really want to have a shoulder to rely on in their hearts."

"So, a young man appeared. She fell in love with him and wanted to give him the TOEFL for this life. For this reason, she also tried to convince Bian Jun'er, hoping that Bian Jun'er could convince her father."

Tang Yinlong and Wen Qinglan listened silently, as if they realized that Zhang Xiaodao was talking about himself.

"One day, the young master's house told him that he had contacted him in the capital, whether for the family or for himself, he had to go."

"But at this time, my daughter became pregnant and told the young master."

"The young master thought about a solution and finally chose to send someone to abort her child. His subordinates did succeed that day, and he also turned around and prepared to go to Beijing."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaodao whispered: "Your Majesty, what would you do if you were a Bian Jun'er?"

Tang Yinlong was devoted to his love throughout his life. Although there was Yang Qing outside the palace, as an emperor, he only had affection for two women and never gave a talent show in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Taking a concubine or something else can already show how much he values ​​love.

There is no doubt that Tang Yinlong whispered: "Catch up with the young master and kill him."

"Where is the Queen?"

"If this story happened in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, I think there are border troops and should respect the Tang Dynasty's rules."

Zhang Xiaodao whispered: "The problem is that there is no evidence, the government will not care about it, and the people of their family will cover it up for him. This matter can only be left alone, and the daughter can only silently bear the double pain of losing her lover and losing her child."

Tang Miaomiao blinked and said, "I agree with my father."

Although Tang Yinlong seems careless on the surface, he has never been an incompetent emperor. Zhang Xiaodao's story has far-reaching significance.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Yinlong suddenly sat upright and stared at Zhang Xiaodao and asked, "So, Bian Jun'er entered the palace to take advantage of the situation and to tell the people of that family that Bian Jun'er could not move. If you kill your family, it would be in vain?"

Zhang Xiaodao didn't know that his impulse choice was right and wrong just now, so he lowered his head silently.

The atmosphere suddenly changed after the words were expressed, and the queen looked at Tang Yinlong with a nervous expression. Tang Miaomiao didn't dare to say anything again when she saw her father's tone was stern. She blinked her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

After a while, Zhang Xiaodao was sweating profusely. Tang Yinlong, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, finally spoke again: "If you didn't tell this story today, someone found out the true identity of Bian Jun'er in the future, I will never tolerate it."

"But since you told this story, at least you understand the meaning of the word "candid".
