It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 717: Deep Love but Flirtatious

"Why?" The grandmother's eyes widened. "What did he do?"

"Nothing." Sun Ying lowered his head even more.

"Rong'er, go out and play with your elder and second brothers first." The grandmother didn't want Xiaoyang Xianrong to hear such a conversation, so she sent her out directly. However, this child has been smart since childhood, how could he leave like this? He was still secretly listening at the foot of the wall.

Yang Xianrong stood quietly beside the two of them, listening carefully to their conversation, and was constantly surprised in her heart that she had actually forgotten such a thing.

There is a gap of two generations between my mother and my grandmother, so how could they talk about such things?
Yes, she knew that her mother and grandmother had the best relationship. The grandmother often said that Sun Ying was not like a granddaughter-in-law, but more like a caring daughter. So, there were these intimate conversations between them.

The grandmother saw that Xiaoyang Xianrong had already walked out, so she asked again: "Could it be that Xuanzhi has done something to let you down?"

"Actually, that's not it. I'm just tired." Sun Ying's voice became even lower, revealing fatigue.

"What is that?" The old grandmother was a person who wanted to get to the bottom of things, and she was a little anxious. "If he does anything wrong, I will tell him. If he doesn't listen, I will beat him!"

"Not really." Sun Ying couldn't help laughing when she saw her grandmother like this.

"Hey, what happened?" The grandmother asked again. Sun Ying said, "I'm just telling you this. I feel that my husband's temper has become a little bit unpredictable to me. When we got married, he was good-looking, but now, I don't know what to say."

"You think it's boring, don't you?" The old grandmother suddenly laughed and held Sun Ying's hand. "My child, this is marriage. No matter how much you liked him at the beginning, as time goes by, all that love has long since become nothing. In the end, the only things that keep you together are the trivialities of life and those children. How much do you think I and that old man like each other?"

Hearing the grandmother's words, not only did Sun Ying's eyes widen, but even Yang Xianrong held her breath. She was slowly trying to recall whether she had really heard this conversation.

The grandmother's expression was very calm, and she even smiled a little, which was the result of years of experience. "What can I do if I like him? At most, I am willing to stay with him for a while. But he is a man, his world is vast, he can fight on the battlefield, and he has too many opportunities... What can you do? What can you share? Can you really understand everything he is facing? If you share a lot of things for him, or even do a lot of things for him, will he think you are too much? Even overstepping your authority? Will he be suspicious of you? Will he be disgusted with you? Will he... abandon you?"

Faced with her grandmother's series of questions, Sun Ying was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

The grandmother's experiences were naturally much more than hers. In comparison, her life was smooth and boring, even uneventful. So, she was talking about being boring, so wasn't what she was saying now a little hypocritical?

Thinking of this, Sun Ying quickly lowered his head again, even wanting to admit his mistake.

But the old grandmother gently touched her young and plump face and smiled, "You are still young, and you still have a long life ahead of you. What you need to do is love yourself, be yourself, or even be self-consistent, only then can you feel the joy of living. As for men... Although Xuanzhi is my grandson, I still have to say, just be like that, don't be too attentive, and don't be too sincere. As a woman, being a little less ruthless will make you happier. Do you understand?"

Sun Ying's eyes were filled with doubts. At that time, she was only in her early thirties, about the same age as Yang Xianrong now. However, Yang Xianrong had experienced a lot, and even became the queen for the sixth time. Which of the men who appeared in her life had she not loved deeply, and which of them had not made her sad?
So, when my grandmother said that we should be "heartless", did she foresee something?

When she hesitated, the old grandmother looked towards her, as if she could see her. She smiled, nodded meaningfully, shook her head, and then sighed.

That sad and profound voice echoed in my ears and could not be dispelled for a long time.

When I woke up, it was still dark.

Liu Yao's snoring was in my ears. He was sleeping soundly, just like usual.

Perhaps if she hadn't experienced his change of face today, Yang Xianrong would have thought that she could be spoiled like this forever, and even take over his duties. But it was also because of this time that she realized that the only thing she could do was to stay in the harem honestly.

Liu Yao turned over gently, as if he sensed something. He closed his eyes and dazedly put his arms around Yang Xianrong's waist. She had no choice but to stay still and maintain this posture leaning in his arms. It was indeed very warm.

Three days later, Liu Yao led an army of 250,000 to attack Beiliang, and the action was extremely fast. Yang Xianrong didn't even have time to see him off. Because Liu Yao left in the middle of the night when she was sleeping. Although he took almost all the troops with him, he still left Li Lianhua and 30,000 troops to Yang Xianrong, of course, to protect the safety of the imperial city of Chang'an.

When I woke up early in the morning, the person next to me was gone.

Yang Xianrong was stunned for a moment before letting the maids come in to help her wash and dress. No matter what, she, the queen, was still in charge of the palace, and everything in Chang'an City was still normal. Those shops were still bustling with people, and the wine shops and streets were also doing good business.

Cui Xi brought Yang Ruoxi into the palace and accompanied Yang Xianrong to do some needlework. They also chatted about the situation outside when they just entered the palace. Several people were chattering and it was very lively.

When the palace chief steward Mao Hongmao came in, Shi Bianheng followed behind him and said that Liu Yao had specially asked him to stay in the palace to prepare for Yang Xianrong's delivery.

Liu Yao had prepared many things very carefully. It was rare for an emperor to be able to do this for his queen. What else could she ask for? That would be too hypocritical.

Thinking of this, Yang Xianrong couldn't help but smile.

Yang Ruoxi, who was standing by, saw this smile and couldn't help but ask, "How can my aunt be so beautiful?"

"You have such a sweet mouth." Yang Xianrong held her in his arms and hugged her, "I don't know which boy will marry you in the future, you should also treat your husband with such sweet words."

"I don't want a husband. I'm happy living on my own." Yang Ruoxi pouted.

"Why don't you want a husband?" Yang Xianrong was a little surprised, "Don't you like..." She wanted to say Liu Cheng, but felt that this was inappropriate, so she took it back.
