65. Chapter 65
If a prince is brave and good at fighting, then the emperor sent him to send troops, in addition to hoping that he would win the battle, it was also for him to experience it. But if the prince sent out was powerless, the emperor's intention in the capital was worth pondering.
Xiao Yuan learned his kung fu secretly, and outsiders were ignorant. On the contrary, he often used the trick of pretending to be sick to avoid leisure. In the eyes of court officials, he was a weak and sick prince. How could such a prince be sent to the battlefield shock?
Xiao Yuan didn't know that this idea was thought of by his father himself or by Queen Chen's instigation. He only knew that he had made contributions on the battlefield, and the contributions would eventually fall on Shen Jie and his son. If he suffered a defeat, the charge would definitely be his.
He didn't care about this, but this imperial edict disrupted his plan to marry her.
"Lan Yin, do you still remember my friend?" Xiao Yuan held the girl's hand and asked with his head down.
Xie Lanyin only heard him mention a friend, and he felt nervous and said worriedly: "Is there something wrong with Aunt Yan?" Such a poor woman, she really hoped that she could live a peaceful life after she escaped from the sea of suffering.
Xiao Yuan shook his head, but his expression was still solemn, "No, she has moved to another place, no one knows her there, she lives a good life, but my friend's mother is seriously ill and may not have much time left. Lan Yin, my mother died early, and his mother has always treated me as her own son, and she will give me things during the holidays. Now that something happened to her, I should go back to see it in a reasonable way. So, I want to go back to Luoyang first. I don't know the exact return date of this trip, but don't worry, I will come back as soon as possible to marry you."
He went to the border first, and his father sent him to make up for the numbers. As long as the war was under the control of Shen Jie and his son, he didn't have to do anything. As soon as Xie Hui came back, he immediately pretended to be sick and rushed back to Xi'an City to marry her, without delay. When Chen Jie came back late, he stayed on the border for a while and focused on the war.
He suddenly wanted to return to Luoyang, and Xie Lanyin was reluctant to leave. He slowly sat up, looked at his eyes and asked, "Then when will you leave?"
Xiao Yuan clenched her hand and lowered his voice, "I'll leave tomorrow."
So fast...
Xie Lanyin lowered her head, and after a while, she raised her head indifferently, and told softly: "Then be careful on the road, aunt treats you well, you don't have to hurry back, hide there to take care of her."
No matter how reluctant he is, it is also his important elder. He is a moment of separation from life and death. If he doesn't go and see how he can do it.
The little girl was kind and understanding, and Xiao Yuan was soft-hearted and reached out to carry her into his arms.
Xie Lanyin leaned against his chest, smelling the familiar light bamboo fragrance on his body, and tears fell silently in the blink of an eye.
There is no news about my father and elder sister, and now he is leaving.
I felt sad and didn't hear him calling her. Xiao Yuan noticed something was wrong and held her shoulder to see. Seeing that she was really crying, he felt distressed and guilty. He raised his hand to help her wipe her tears. He just looked at her pitiful eyes, and he changed to holding her head and kissing her.
Xie Lanyin stared at him approaching, but avoided him when he was about to meet him, lowered his head and said, "You go."
Xiao Yuan paused, looked at her carefully, and asked carefully, "Are you angry?"
Xie Lanyin was reluctant to leave and was not angry about such a thing. While wiping her eyes, she fiddled with the jade pendant on his waist with the other hand and said, "No, I'm afraid you will do whatever you want."
I kissed him several times, and as I kissed him, I could feel his changes, either his breathing or his strength, like a humble gentleman suddenly turned into a domineering playboy, and I could find it from many subtleties. In the past, there was a window block between the two, so she could avoid it in time, but now she was on the bed, and she was afraid that he would not be able to hold it in the same time in Mount Li.
Xiao Yuan didn't think about it, just wanted to kiss her, but now she said that, and he couldn't continue. He smiled and touched her head. The jade pendant on his waist was pulled off by her. Xiao Yuan thought of something and took out the Qilin jade pendant left to him by his mother from his arms, looked at it carefully for a moment, and handed it to her.
"Lanyin, this is the jade pendant left to me by my mother. It is the treasure that my grandmother passed on to the daughter but not the man. Now I will give it to you. If we have a daughter in the future, you will give it to her." Xiao Yuan said softly, his tone was gentle and solemn.
The delicate jade pendant with his body temperature was still warming her face with his low and nice voice. Xie Lanyin was so embarrassed that she stuffed the jade pendant into his hand, and her head drooped even lower, "I don't want..."
It's not too late to marry him.
"Lanyin is obedient, don't want it. I'm afraid you will run away before I come back." Xiao Yuan insisted on giving it to her, but she didn't answer, so he put it on her head. Xie Lanyin actually wanted it, so she shyly lowered her head and asked him to wear it. When Xiao Yuan helped her get out the long hair behind her, she smelled the quiet fragrance of her daughter. He looked at her beautiful and jade-like neck under the dim pearl light, which made him unable to control himself, and he printed his lips.
Xie Lanyin trembled slightly and instinctively wanted to hide. Xiao Yuan immediately hugged her, fearing that she would refuse, so he blocked her lips first.
It was late at night and it was time for parting again, and he couldn't help but want more.
The little girl was reluctant to let go. When she heard him whispering in a continuous and hoarse voice, the strength to stop his hand became weaker and weaker.
With acquiescence, Xiao Yuan carefully moved his hand to her lapel. Her pajamas were embroidered with peonies. He slowly felt the patterns of the peonies embroidery. She was trembling as if blown by the wind, and her forehead was tightly pressed against his shoulders. Until he began to crush the peonies embroidery hard, she finally panicked and hugged his hand tightly, "Enough..."
"Lan Yin..." Xiao Yuan couldn't bear to move his hand away and leaned into her ear and begged.
Xie Lanyin shook her head repeatedly, she had no strength and could not push him away. She was so anxious that she was about to cry, "You..."
Xiao Yuan heard her crying voice, afraid that it would be too late, so he let go of his hand in time and pressed her tightly into his arms, "I really want to take you away."
Xie Lanyin relaxed and leaned against him obediently, waiting for him to calm down.
Before leaving, Xiao Yuan talked with her for a long time before leaving that night.
But Xie Lanyin couldn't sleep anymore, holding his jade pendant and gently rubbing it. She thought about when he would come back from Luoyang, and she thought about her father and elder sister.
The next morning, Xiao Yuan came to say goodbye to Jiang again. Jiang understood his feelings of having to go back and advised him not to worry about it. He sent off his prospective son-in-law and saw that his youngest daughter was unscrupulous. Jiang had no choice but to lead his daughter to play with his younger brother. Fortunately, Xie Lanyin was reluctant for a while, and soon became excited again and teased her younger brother happily.
On the eighth day of September, Xie Lanqiao went to the shop twice, but there was still no news about Guangdong.
Xie Lanyin was very disappointed, but the most disappointed was Jiang. One was her husband who vowed to grow old and the other was her first child. Anything that happened was like cutting flesh from her body. At night, he coaxed his youngest son to fall asleep. Jiang leaned against the head of the bed, staring at the window, and tears fell on his face as he looked at it.
Did she think too well? In fact, her husband couldn't wake up at all. The eldest daughter was alone and something happened without her father's protection?
The more I thought about it, the more desperate he became. Jiang blew the lamp and covered his face and cried bitterly in the darkness.
I don’t know how long I cried, but a pair of big hands suddenly appeared on my shoulders. Jiang’s body stiffened. Before he turned around, he suddenly heard someone calling her nickname softly. Jiang looked at the person in disbelief. He couldn’t see clearly in the gauze tent, but he called her again. Jiang’s tears instantly surged like a spring and drilled into his arms, “Mingtang…”
Xie Hui hugged his wife tightly, his voice unsteadily, "I'm sorry, I'm late to come back, I've made you feel wronged."
Jiang shook his head, it would be great if he came back, she didn't mind no matter how much grievances he was, as long as he and his daughter...
Thinking of his eldest daughter, Jiang panicked and asked him nervously, "Where is Lanting? Why didn't she come back with you?"
"Lanting is fine, she should be able to go to Luoyang the next day." Xie Hui comforted his wife's forehead and explained to her quickly, "We arrived in Guangzhou at the end of August. When we got off the boat, we met someone sent by my father. He said that the Ministry of War was too busy to go back to Beijing to take office first, and then send someone to pick you up. He said that the emperor must have thought so too, then I will come over and spread it to the palace. The emperor will definitely be unhappy and can only sneak up to see you. Su Ying, I will leave immediately. Lanting will come to pick you up in a few days. You can come to Beijing early and don't let me wait too long. However, before Lanting comes, you can't tell anyone about our return."
The eldest daughter was fine, and Jiang quickly calmed down and then understood.
In just a few days, the father and daughter rushed here from Guangdong. They must have been traveling day and night. They were probably faster than the people she sent to send the message, so she never waited for the news.
"Are you leaving now?" Jiang held her husband and wanted to reunite with him for a while. "You didn't have dinner, right? I'll find something to fill your stomach?"
Xie Hui held her hand and kissed her, "No need, I came here to pretend to be sick. There was no one in the carriage. The longer the delay, the easier it would be for Lanting to reveal the stuff. It must..."
Before he finished speaking, the sound of a child pursing his lips suddenly came from the bed, and Xie Hui was stunned.
He remembered that the people waiting for him in Guangdong said that his wife had another son.
Although he couldn't see it, Jiang could imagine her husband's stupidity now. He broke away from his hand and smiled and hugged his fat son who was sleeping soundly, and whispered: "I don't have time to eat, but Is there always time to hug his son?"
"You go and light the light." It took a long time since I was holding such a young child. Xie Hui couldn't move his feet even if he wanted to leave, and he excitedly called his wife.
Mrs. Jiang rubbed her eyes and went to light the light with satisfaction.
Xie Hui touched his son's little face in a dark way. As soon as the light lit up, his eyes fell on his son.
He looked at his son intently, and Jiang looked at him intently. Seeing that her husband became dark and thin, but still handsome, she couldn't help but lie on his back and kissed his neck gently. She really didn't want to do anything, she just missed him too much, and she couldn't find a way to express her thoughts for a year.
As soon as his wife's soft lips touched him, Xie Hui's breathing became messy. If he liked his son again, he missed his wife even more. He slowly put his son back, turned around and picked up his wife and walked towards Gongfang. The couple raised three daughters and knew where to do things the safest.
"Aren't you in a hurry to leave?" Jiang pressed against his chest, nervous and funny.
