Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

The next day, Xiao Lengyue took his people out of the palace, and Song Ye, holding Xiao Leyou, stood on the city wall, watching Xiao Lengyue's back as he left, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that Song Ye was in a bad mood, Xiao Leyou asked suspiciously: "Father, are you in a bad mood?"

Song Ye looked at the back of Xiao Lengyue's carriage, sighed helplessly, looked at the child in his arms, and smiled.

"Father just can't bear to leave your mother, it's not that he's in a bad mood."

When Xiao Leyou heard this, he touched his chin thoughtfully and murmured, "Is this what the Queen Mother is worried about?"

When Song Ye heard her talking about Xiao Lengyue, he looked at her suspiciously. Then, she heard Xiao Leyou say, "Before the Queen Mother left, she gave me a task and told me to take good care of my husband and my brothers and sisters."

Hearing this, Song Ye was slightly stunned. After reacting, he looked at Xiao Leyou and jokingly asked, "What else did your mother say?"

Little Leyou stretched out his little hand and began to count, "The Queen Mother told me to watch my father eat well, rest well, and sleep well.

Whenever I was in a bad mood, I would take my father to see my grandfather.

If things still don’t go well, I’ll pester Chunyu to make something delicious for my father.

If it still doesn't work, the Queen Mother will ask me to take my father to the back mountain to plant flowers and vegetables and wait for the Queen Mother to come back."

Seeing her counting all her little hands and still continuing to count, Song Ye couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, Xiao Leyou, let's go back to the palace."

After Song Ye finished speaking, he was about to pick her up when Xiao Leyou quickly refused and said, "Father, I will go by myself.

The Queen Mother said that my father is pregnant with my younger brother or sister, so I can’t hold them in my arms on weekdays.”

Seeing that she was very persistent, Song Ye reached out and held her, "Then father will lead you away."

So, the guards saw that on the way back to the palace, an adult and a child were holding hands, talking about something, and they could hear laughter from time to time.

Xiao Lengyue had no idea that her daughter had already made Song Ye happy. She was sitting in the carriage at the moment, worrying about them.

Seeing her like this, Leng Haoxuan said helplessly: "Don't worry, with that happy guy here, he will definitely have no time to think about you every day."

After hearing what Leng Haoxuan said, Xiao Lengyue also laughed. It was true that with Xiao Leyou around, there must be a lot of troubles every day.

In the days that followed, just as Xiao Lengyue had said, Song Ye really didn't have much time to think about Xiao Lengyue.

He was busy dealing with memorials with the cabinet during the day, and spent the rest of his time helping Xiao Leyou learn to read, or dealing with the troubles she caused.

Only when it is late at night and everyone is asleep will my longing for you gush out like a spring.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and Xiao Lengyue and his companions finally arrived in Xinyue City.

At night, Bai Feng looked at Xiao Lengyue and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, we need to rest here for two days first and bring some supplies before we can go into the mountains."

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Okay, let's rest for a day, and we'll set off the day after tomorrow."

After receiving the order, Bai Feng quickly took people to buy supplies, while Xiao Lengyue was writing a letter to Song Ye in the house.

She had just finished writing when a voice came from the door, "Who?"

Xiao Lengyue asked in a cold voice.

Leng Haoxuan heard the voice in the house and shouted, "Yue Baoer, it's very lively outside, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Xiao Lengyue looked at the letter in his hand and said calmly: "Okay, wait a moment."

Leng Haoxuan heard this and said happily: "Then I'll wait for you in the lobby."

After Xiao Lengyue saw Leng Haoxuan leave, she said, "Send him back."

Long Yi appeared in the house, took the letter, and then quickly disappeared into the house.

Xiao Lengyue changed her clothes, put on a face scarf and went downstairs.

Leng Haoxuan looked at Xiao Lengyue who was looking at the people on the street. Seeing the smile in her eyes, he said, "Yue Baoer, you haven't been out for a long time, right?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "I haven't been out for a long time."

"People's lives are getting better and better, and there are more smiles on their faces."

Xiao Lengyue's lips curled up as she listened to Leng Haoxuan's words.

She looked at the street vendors getting along harmoniously, her eyes full of satisfaction.

After walking around for a while, Xiao Lengyue looked at Leng Haoxuan, "Second brother, where is the slum?"

This question stumped Leng Haoxuan. He was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "I'll go ask."

After he finished speaking, he went straight to the stall owner nearby and asked him, who then burst into laughter.

Xiao Lengyue and Leng Haoxuan looked at her suspiciously, and when she finished laughing, she looked at them and said, "Young Master, you are not from here, right?"

Leng Haoxuan nodded and looked at the woman in front of him, "Aunt, we are indeed not locals."

"So what are you doing looking for in the slums?"

When Leng Haoxuan heard this, he sighed and said, “I have an older brother in my family who got lost accidentally.

We came out to look for him and learned that he had come to Crescent City, but we couldn't find him after searching around, so we decided to try our luck in the slums."

The woman looked at their clothes and a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, Leng Haoxuan quickly explained: "Aunt, our family is not poor, but my eldest brother is an idiot.

He heard that the food on the street was delicious, so he stole it out of the house when the servants weren't paying attention, and that's how we found him here."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, the woman's eyes flashed with pity, she sighed softly, looked at Leng Haoxuan and said, "My lord, there are no more slums in the city now.

But if he really comes here, as long as he is not doing well, he will definitely be taken to the government office. You can go and ask the government office. "

Leng Haoxuan was stunned and asked: "Why?"

"If the people bring him to the government office and the government office verifies that he has no ability to survive, they will send someone to take him to a resettlement house in the suburbs."

Leng Haoxuan nodded, thanked the woman, and then looked at Xiao Lengyue, "Yue Baoer, shall we go to the government office?"

Xiao Lengyue pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay."

It's a good opportunity for her to go and see what's going on in the government office. She's fine anyway.

So Leng Haoxuan and Xiao Lengyue walked towards the government office.

When they got there, Leng Haoxuan used the same logic as before. After hearing what Leng Haoxuan said, the bailiff frowned.

"According to what you said, the government office hasn't received any men of this age recently."

Leng Haoxuan was slightly stunned, coughed lightly, and looked at the yamen runner, "Can you please check it again, brother yamen runner?"

After he finished speaking, he took out a silver ingot from his bosom and secretly put it into the hand of the yamen runner.

When the yamen runner saw this, he quickly returned the silver to Leng Haoxuan, "Sir, this is our duty as yamen runners. You don't have to do this."

Leng Haoxuan wondered if something was missing, so he took out another piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into the hand of the yamen runner.

"Young man, I'm in trouble."
