“Come, sit beside me, let me have a good look at you.” Tobo Xian said.

"Yes."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! ?

Yang Ruqing responded with a sound, walked over, grasped Tuo Ba Xian's hand, and sat down beside her openly.

"My lady, why didn't you send a message beforehand if you were coming over? I could have come to greet you..."

Yang Ruqing said.

Tuoba Xian smiled and shook her head: "I came to participate in my son's wedding, I don't want to make a fuss." Please note that the original text was empty. I have only retained the HTML tags as instructed.

Moreover, having Yan Huai'an and that day's pine tree travel together, looking after each other along the way, is quite interesting.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruqing nodded.

"My lady, it's rare for you to come here. This time, you should stay for a longer period." she said.

Tuoba Xian smiled gently: "When exactly is your wedding day? Has Feng Tang returned from the army yet?"

Yang Ruqing hummed in response.

“I have sent him a letter,” she said.

Tuoba Xian nodded: "Then, the wedding room at home and all the bridal attire, are they all ready?"

Yang Ruqing smiled and said, "Having built a new house, everything from furniture to household items is complete."

"Hehehe..." Tuo Ba Xian smiled, "Everything is in place, only my son's final breath of east wind is missing, right?"

Yang Ruqing's face turned red.

Tubaba Xian gently patted Yang Ruqing's hand, "We just arrived in Qingshui Town today and are a little tired. My condition isn't very good either."

“To go and see your parents and Feng Tang’s uncle, Lu Tiejiang, so rashly would be disrespectful.”

"Let me rest for a while tonight, and I'll go to the village to visit them tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing raised her eyes.

“My lady, after such a long and arduous journey, you must rest.”

"Elders from both sides will eventually meet, there's no need to rush this moment."

Tuoba Xian said, "I am Feng Tang's mother, and your parents are my in-laws. I should go to visit them first."

"And there's also Lu Tiejiang... he raised Fengtang, and his kindness to Fengtang is also kindness to me."

“Your parents and the blacksmith, Luò, are all people I must visit on this trip,” Tuobaxian said.

"Well, madam, you need to take care of your health first. I see that your complexion is pale and you seem rather weak..."

Yang Ruqing sized up Tuoba Xian.

"Madam, why don't you lie down and let me give you a massage? It will help relax your muscles."

“Oh? Qing’er can do this too? Well then, I’ll have you work hard.”

Tuoba Xian truly lay down as she was told.

Yang Ruqing then washed her hands clean, and then took a little of the floral essential oil she carried with her to invigorate herself and applied it evenly between her palms.

Then, with both hands, soft and resilient fingers gently pressed against Tubo Xian's temples.

...and gently massaged her...

As they massaged each other, they chatted idly.

Most of the questions were asked by Tuo Ba Xian, and Yang Ruoqing answered them.

We talked about the recent flooding here, water management issues, and the epidemic that followed closely after the flood.

Tuoba Xian sighed softly: "Heaven and Earth are unfeeling, treating the people as mere dogs."

“Fortunately, your ruler of the State of Qi still has a breath of benevolence left, exempting this region from taxes.”

"However, speaking of that plague, Qing'er and Tang Ya-zi, you two have truly benefited the people! This matter, I believe, will surely be recorded by those with good intentions in the local county annals!" she said.

Yang Ruqing smiled faintly.

“My lady, you flatter me. Back then, we just mustered all our courage so that the entire village wouldn't be wiped out.”

>

As for that entry in the county annals, becoming renowned through the ages... I've never thought about it, nor do I pursue those empty titles." she said.

Tuoba Xian smiled gently, "You and Feng Tang are both good children. You don't fight or compete, you do what you want, and you are kind and honest. Not bad at all."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Yang Ruqing blushed again.

To be praised so highly by my mother-in-law, I am so embarrassed!

"Madam, how do you find this strength?"

After a while, Yang Ruqing asked softly.

Tuoba Xian, hearing this, opened her eyes and smiled, "Very good."

"Qing'er, your massage technique is really good."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

She sat up. "I've felt a bit dizzy all the way here, and there was some throbbing pain before you came."

"After you kneaded and pressed me like this, I feel so much lighter."

“Madam, you must be feeling unwell from the long journey and motion sickness.” Yang Ruqing said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"That should be right. It has been nineteen years since my last such long journey," said Tubaba Xian.

“Back then, I was your age too, riding a horse to Daqi, not feeling a headache at all. Ah, youth is good, you can't help but be defiant of aging!”

"Madam, you are in your prime, not a day older." Yang Ruocheng quickly began to flatter her.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else! ?

"Oh, stop it," Tuo Ba Xian chuckled wryly. "Go on and get busy. After that massage, I'm actually feeling rather sleepy."

Yang Ruqing hurriedly stood up: "It's best to take a nap. After waking up, avoid oily and greasy food, and eat light meals."

Faced with Yang Ruoqing's sincere concern in her eyes, Tuoba Xian moved and nodded.

"Alright, I'll remember your words. After a night's rest, I'll go to your village tomorrow." she said.

Yang Ruqing asked, "Shall I pick you up?"

Tuo Baxiang raised her hand: "Don't."

"This trip, the fewer people who know about Feng Tang and me, the better."

"My current identity is a merchant from the north, here to do business with you, young lady, and incidentally attend the wedding." Tuoba Xian explained.

Yang Ruoqing understands.

“Don’t worry, my lady. I have everything under control.”

Turning to leave, she was stopped by Tuo Ba Xian's call.

"Madam, is there anything else you require?" she asked.

Tuoba Xian said, "When you were massaging me just now, what did you apply? That fragrance is so refreshing to smell."

Yang Ruqing was startled, then took out a small white porcelain bottle from her sleeve.

I offered both hands up: “In the springtime, the mountains are covered in wildflowers.”

“I extracted the essence from several wild flowers to make this invigorating floral essential oil.”

Here's the translation, keeping your HTML tags intact: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Seeing that Toba Xian was holding the bottle and smelling it delicately, her expression one of reluctant parting.

Yang Ruqing said, "If Madam likes it, I'll send Madam a few more bottles later. This one I've already used half..."

"No problem, this bottle will do. I like the taste." Tuoba Xian said.

Yang Ruqing said: "Good, then this half bottle of wine the madam can keep for now and play with it. When the madam returns to my home, I will send her more."

"Well then, I'll thank Qing'er first." Tuo Ba Xian said sincerely.

Yang Ruqing curved her lips into a smile.

Before leaving, I couldn't help but turn back once more. I saw Tuoba Xian still sitting on the soft couch, holding that bottle of essential oil and rubbing a little bit onto her hand, savoring it...

This is the end of a paragraph.

Yang Ruqing secretly smiled.

This mother-in-law, although a princess of a country, still gave birth to such a big son as Luofengtang.

>

At heart, a girl's spirit remains youthful!

Nineteen years ago, she must have been a radiant young woman in the noble society of that time.

Destiny's winds blow freely.

It's a pity, though. I met Luo Fengtang's father.
