Sun Shangxiang returned to his residence in a little depressed mood. Mr. Qiao talked with the princess for a short time, and he went back to his place to rest. Sun Shangxiang had no chance to ask about his mother's burial.

Although Sun Shangxiang does not understand the worldly ways, she is very smart. Mr. Qiao actually wants to talk to the princess alone. In addition, Tao Zhan’s hint to her for a few days, she vaguely guessed Qiao Xuan’s real intention to come to the prince’s mansion.

Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but sigh. Although she would never want her husband to take Xiao Qiao as her concubine, this matter was no longer something she could stop. More importantly, Xiao Qiao also made a clear statement to her that she was willing to marry the King of Han again, which left Sun Shangxiang with nothing to say. All parties were willing, what would she think if she objected.

However, Sun Shangxiang was still a little disappointed. The husband she loved deeply could not withstand the temptation of a woman's sex in the end. Marrying Cao Xian was a political marriage. She would not blame her husband, but taking Xiao Qiao as a concubine was a typical lust.

Sun Shangxiang felt something. When she turned around, she saw Tao Zhan standing at the door, smiling at her. She hurriedly came forward and said, "Why are you here, sister?"

Tao Zhan took her hand and walked into the house and said, "I came here to talk to you about Xiao Qiao."

Sun Shangxiang knew that there was a result, so she sighed and said, "Let's sit down and talk."

The two sat down, and Tao Zhan said softly again: "Xiao Qiao is going to enter our door in the end, you should know."

Sun Shangxiang nodded silently, and Tao Zhan continued: "My old man and I have already agreed to each other. Xiao Qiao is still a concubine. He just entered the door by marrying him. He is just a little low-key, not ostentatious, and not publicized."

"Then how to do it specifically?" Sun Shangxiang asked again.

"Mr. Qiao's family is in a shortage. I will pay for all the expenses. I will rent a big house nearby, start by marrying at night, and then give it to the neighbors. There are only so many rituals. Of course, we need to have a light and decorate the auspicious day, and the day after tomorrow will be booked."

Speaking of this, Tao Zhan looked at Sun Shangxiang for a moment and asked, "What about your opinion?"

"What can I have for you?" Sun Shangxiang smiled bitterly and said: "Both men and women are willing, and their parents agree. You, the princess, don't object, what else can I say?"

Tao Zhan stared at her for a moment and sighed, "Shangxiang, I know you don't agree with this marriage. To be honest, I also think it would be better if Xiao Qiao married Shangshu Jiang. But I can't help but feel pressured. Now even the military is dissatisfied with me. Many people in the army call me a jealous concubine, and I feel very sad."

Speaking of this, Tao Zhan could no longer hold back and tears came out. Sun Shangxiang hurriedly held her hand and asked in surprise: "How could they be so disrespectful to you?"

Tao Zhan wiped away the tears and shook his head and said, "Because the general is ten years old, there are only two under his knees, and he has no brothers and nephews, he seems to be less and less. The military was particularly dissatisfied and pointed the finger at me, thinking that I was obstructing the Han King from taking a concubine."

"But my elder sister did not obstruct. If it was about Shaoyu's affairs, it was his second sister-in-law. Her husband was still there, and Liu Cong never officially stated that he had divorced her. It was indeed inappropriate to marry her. Such accusation would be unfair to my elder sister."

Tao Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "They only look at the result, and they don't care about the truth. But the general is relatively young. This is indisputable. As a princess, this is my responsibility. You can't understand this kind of pressure, but I'm uneasy day and night."

As the two were talking, the maid reported at the door: "Report to the princess, the front yard housekeeper came to report, the prince is back."

Tao Zhan quickly got up and smiled and said, "I have to go and talk to him about this, and I'll talk to you later when I'm free."

Sun Shangxiang nodded, and she also felt that she needed to talk to Xiao Qiao for a last talk.

...........

As soon as Liu Jing returned to his study, his wife Tao Zhan's voice came from outside the door, "Husband, can I come in?"

Liu Jing has been a little dissatisfied with his wife Tao Zhan these days. The reason is that Liu Jing just learned that Tao Zhan changed his master without authorization on his back. It was not that the master could not be changed, but that such a major event had not been agreed with him and had not discussed with him in advance. When he came back, he became a fait accompli.

He thought it was Pingzhangtai's decision, but later he found out that it was the result of his wife's pressure on Pingzhangtai. This happened last year. It had been a year since Liu Jing had not mentioned it, but it did not mean that he had forgotten about it.

Until a few days ago, when he hugged Tao Zhan's waist, Tao Zhan actually pushed him away because he felt hot. This undoubtedly hurt Liu Jing's self-esteem. This incident became the fuse, which triggered Liu Jing's dissatisfaction with his wife changing her son without authorization last year, and small matters gradually turned into big things.

Although he was dissatisfied with his wife, Liu Jing didn't want to go too far. After all, they had been married for more than ten years and had always had a good relationship. After neglecting his wife for a few days, he didn't want to continue.

"Come in"

The door opened, Tao Zhan brought in a bowl of red date lotus soup. She put the red date lotus soup on the table and said with a smile: "Drink while it's hot, just put the belly first, and have supper right away."

Liu Jing sighed in his heart, and hugged his wife's waist again. This time, Tao Zhan did not refuse anymore, but sat on his lap, hugged his neck and smiled, "I'm not angry anymore."

"I was a little angry two days ago, now I'm fine."

Once the anger passed, Liu Jing felt a little ashamed. He kissed his wife's lips and said, "I heard from Shang Xiang that you are in poor health these two days, how are you doing now?"

Tao Zhan got her husband's love and became coquettish, "It's just that the legs and joints hurt a little. The disease that fell into Chengdu was in trouble for some reason. Hey, no one came to care about me. The joints were nothing, and I felt even more painful in my heart."

Liu Jing apologized: "I will rub you well tonight and use the injury medicine I have prepared myself, which should have a good effect."

Tao Zhan and her husband had a moment of warmth, stood up and smiled, "I have to prepare dinner. You drink lotus soup first, take a rest before coming to the dining room."

Tao Zhan reconciled with her husband. She was in a good mood. She smiled at her husband and walked away quickly. Liu Jing slowly relaxed her body. He also felt in his heart that he was a little unwilling tolerant to his wife.

At night, Liu Jing and his wife had a love affair. He slowly lay down and felt a little tired. Tao Zhan was satisfied and lay in his husband's arms like a cat. Although she had two children, she was nearly ten years old, she still maintained her very well. She had a beautiful face, delicate and greasy skin, elasticity, and even more plump and mature.

Liu Jing gently stroked his wife's hair, thinking that he had been with him for more than ten years, and walked step by step from Chaisang to Chang'an with him, sharing weal and woe, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.

"What are you thinking about, husband?" Tao Zhan asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I just sigh that time passes so fast, and more than ten years have passed in a flash."

“It’s a pity that I’m old.”

"You are not old yet? You are less than ten years old. We have to spend another ten years together."

"Ten years later, I am really my wife." Tao Zhan couldn't help but smile.

She got up and put on her underwear, sat beside Liu Jing and smiled, "There is another thing I wanted to tell you earlier, but I haven't had a chance. Now I'll tell you that Qiao Guo is old."

Liu Jing was stunned and asked quickly: "When will he come?"

"I'll take a break for an hour this morning, and I rented a house for him, which was the empty house in Zhang Yilang's house in front. In the afternoon, the housekeeper took him to the house."

Liu Jing became more confused, "What should I do if I want to rent a house? Can't we stay in the guest room?"

Tao Zhan stroked his hair and smiled, "Do you really don't understand what do you think Qiao Guo is doing in old age?"

Liu Jing reacted a little after a while, "Are you saying that Qiao Guo always plans to live in Chang'an for a long time?"

Tao Zhan was angry and funny. His husband was sometimes very smart, but sometimes he was cute. "It was not for a long time, but for Xiao Qiao's lifelong affairs. I have already negotiated with him to get started by marrying a concubine. Since I want to marry, don't you have to have a house first?"

Liu Jing couldn't speak for a long time. It turned out that his wife had arranged everything, which made him both moved and apologized. He knew that his wife had to suffer a lot of grievances when marrying Xiao Qiao as a concubine for him.

He sighed and said, "Actually you don't have to do this."

"Don't say it anymore, I understand in my heart that I hope to be worthy of my deceased parents-in-law and let the Liu family have a lot of children and grandchildren in the future, so that I can feel guilty."

Tao Zhan said at the end, tears burst out from his eyes and was excited. She hugged Liu Jing's neck and said, "I have no other requests, I just asked you to stay with me, just like what you said, let's spend another ten years together."

Liu Jing hugged her tightly, and he almost said that he would not marry a concubine, but in the end he could not say it.
