On a winter morning, the sky was gray and pale, and even the exhaled breath seemed to be freezing, and the air was terribly cold.
But it was freezing cold, but Ananda felt that his heart was on fire, and his blood boiled with anger.
Ananda looked at the drowsy man next to him, and wanted to clench his fists and roar: What kind of sofa do you f**k have a bed if you don't sleep? What are you doing to yourself? Even if you want people to feel distressed, it's not this kind of tossing method! ! !
Although Ananda was angry in his heart, he quickly leaned over, lifted the quilt carefully, and then opened the white jacket on the man's chest to both sides, inspected the wound inside him, and saw only slight red blood stains on the bandage. Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don't know how he touched it, Ananda was more annoyed at himself, why did he sleep so deeply? He didn't even know that he let a man climb into the bed... Ananda reflected on himself, it seems that as long as he has a warm stove or a human body around him at night in winter, he can sleep well. In the winter before she got married, at night she would pull Ru Cui to warm her bed without telling others, and then she could sleep until dawn. After getting married, she has a long-term bed warming partner, and she no longer needs Rucui to warm her bed, and her sleep quality is still very good. But now, this habit makes her feel bad, bad, very bad!
Even though Ananda was annoyed, she could only sulk in her heart, unable to send that evil fire to the man on the bed—because he was still a wounded patient, which made her very depressed.
Ananda pulled out the hand that was held by Chu Ba Ningda, covered him with a quilt, stepped over him carefully and got down on the couch, put on the clothes that were placed on the red sandalwood box next to him, and soon became dressed Like a panda.
Anan looked at Chu Baning who was still sleeping on the long couch, pursed his lips, and had no choice but to go out to find the maid himself to give instructions. She didn't dare to invite maids in. If she saw the situation in the room, she didn't know how they arranged her in their hearts. Maybe they would think that she was a veritable jealous woman who even drove her injured husband to sleep on the couch...
When Ananda came out of the inner room and her lowered voice sounded outside, Chu Ba Ningfang opened his eyes. Those eyes were not hazy and sleepy like when they first woke up, but were quiet and deep.
Chu Baning gathered the quilt on his body, and absolutely refused to admit that he pretended to be asleep because he didn't know how to face the angry Ananda.
The dignified King Su Qiansui, the number one person under the emperor in the capital, has he ever been afraid of anyone or given face to anyone? But yesterday's little wife, who was always as docile as a cat, suddenly showed her power, which made him subconsciously have an idea of avoiding the edge, and he also carried it out. Until this morning, he woke up as soon as Ananda moved, but he didn't know how to face it, so he simply pretended to be asleep.
Sure enough, although he didn't open his eyes, it was obvious from Ananda's heavy breathing that she was angry again. Fortunately, although she was angry, she still cared about him and inspected his wounds, which made Chu Baning feel that it was worth the trouble she had to do last night.
Chu Baning was rejoicing that outside, because Anan didn't want the maid to see the indoor scene, he could only ask the maid to put the washing utensils in the outer room. After washing with the cold wind, Ananda asked Rulan, " Is the prince's medicine ready?"
"It's ready, do you want to bring it over?" Ru Lan asked. Rulan is a meticulous maid, since Ananda came to the outside room to wash up without fear of the cold, she knew there were things in the room that she didn't want people to see, Rulan was used to covering up for the masters, and she knew how to deal with it.
"Well, come here first."
After Ananda gave his orders, he took a copper basin filled with clean warm water from the maid and entered the inner room.
When Ananda came in, Chu Baning happened to "wake up".
Ananda didn't say anything, just waited for him to wash up as usual as if he didn't see it, took a thick sweater and put it on for him, and asked the maid to bring in the medicine.
The bowl of black medicine exuded a strange smell. Ananda remembered the traditional Chinese medicine he drank when he was in Tongcheng. gloat.
Sure enough, if you come out to mess around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later! At that time, Chu Baning poured her medicine with a cold face, now it's her turn to watch him take the medicine.
After Chu Baning brought clear water to rinse his mouth, he glanced at Ananda, Ananda quickly restrained his expression of gloating, and gave him a serious look, the coldness and alienation in his eyes still persisted.
After drinking the medicine, the maid brought breakfast, and Chu Baning sat on the long couch to eat breakfast. Ananda didn't want his wound to open again, so he moved a small table on the couch and used it as a table, and let him have breakfast directly.
Ananda set up a bowl for him, and after adding a bowl of porridge, he sat down on the Eight Immortals table in the room and ate breakfast by himself without saying a word. Chu Baning's hand holding the chopsticks paused, looking at Ananda's back, he could only sigh secretly.
Ananda really fell in love with him.
After breakfast, Dr. Gu came over with a medicine box.
Doctor Gu changed the medicine and bandages for Chu Baning again, checked his physical condition, and said with some joy: "My lord's wound is recovering well, and there is no infection or fever anymore, just wait for the wound to recover slowly. My lord, please don't let the wound rupture again, otherwise it will be troublesome if the wound is infected again."
Ananda was terrified when she heard this, she, a person who came from the modern age with advanced medical treatment, knew very well how deadly these gunshot wounds and arrow wounds were infected with bacteria, so she immediately wrote down the precautions that Dr. I didn't even think it was enough, so I took a piece of paper and ink to write it down.
Chu Baning leaned comfortably on a strangely shaped pillow on the long couch—a lazy bone pillow made by Ananda himself, with a smile flashing in his black eyes, and he looked gently at the person who was recording Gu Gu with a pen and a small notebook. The little wife who the doctor talks to.
Dr. Gu saw that Ananda was a princess, but he listened carefully to this matter, somehow, he couldn't help arousing enthusiasm, and poured out what he knew, Ananda wrote furiously, remembering that the forehead Secreting a thin layer of sweat, I can't help but mutter in my heart, why are there so many things to pay attention to? But she is not a medical student, and she has never paid attention to this matter before, thinking that Dr. Gu is a doctor, so he has the right to speak, so she honestly wrote down what Dr. Gu said.
Chu Baning couldn't help laughing at it, knowing that Ananda's serious appearance would easily arouse other people's enthusiasm for teaching. Dr. Gu spoke dryly, and Ananda also remembered sweating profusely. In the end, Chu Baning couldn't bear Ananda's too much After struggling, he let out a light cough, which made Dr. Gu finally come to his senses, and hurried away with the medicine box.
Dr. Gu wiped off his sweat: If he stays any longer, the bottom of his box will be poured out to Princess Su!
Ru Lan and Ru Cui, who were guarding outside, ran out seeing Doctor Gu's buttocks on fire, and they felt their scalps tingle immediately. They didn't understand why Doctor Gu ran so fast until they saw Ananda coming out holding a stack of papers. Soon.
"Ru Lan, your handwriting is good, help me sort out these things." Ananda himself felt dizzy, so he handed over the things to Ru Lan, and then hurried away.
Ru Cui poked her head to look at the densely packed things, and quickly slipped away: "Sister Ru Lan, you are busy, I will go to the small kitchen to see if the dessert that the princess wants is ready."
Ru Lan stared blankly, flipping through the pile of things Ananda wrote down, it was a mess, and I don't know how many brain cells it would take to sort it out.
Ru Lan: Oh, my head really hurts...
Ananda kept in mind Dr. Gu's instructions, and took care of the injured Chu Baning as if he was facing an enemy. Chu Baning wanted to tell her several times that he was not ceramics, so he would not be broken so easily, but when she remembered that night she cried Feeling so sad, Chu Ba Ning calmed down and obediently let Ananda treat him as a high-risk person.
As a result, Chu Baning also tasted the treatment of "high-risk people", and that taste was really uncomfortable.
For example, in order to let him recuperate, Ananda never said a word, so as not to disturb him; in order to avoid accidentally touching his wound, Ananda insisted on sleeping in separate beds every night—although it turned out that the next day Ananda There will always be someone who crawls into bed by himself; then eats separately and works separately... Chu Baning believes that Ananda seems unwilling to even appear in front of him if it is not necessary...
Chu Baning found that his current situation was similar to when he had not married a wife before. But when he saw Ananda like that, he couldn't get angry again, he just felt a little depressed in his heart.
But not being able to see Ananda was even more disappointing.
***********
After several days in a row, Chu Baning finally decided that Ananda could no longer ignore him.
Yes, Chu Baning felt that although Ananda took care of him like a careful wife, most of the time he ignored him. This kind of ignorance is more uncomfortable than crying.
On this day, it was time for Chu Baning to drink medicine again. Ananda took the medicine bowl, touched the edge of the bowl with his fingertips, and found that the medicine was not so hot, so he brought it to Chu Baning who was sitting on the bed .
"My lord, it's time to drink the medicine." Ananda said gently and respectfully.
Chu Baning let go of a book on the art of war in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Ananda, Ananda looked at him with a decent smile on his face, and handed over the medicine bowl.
These days can be said to be the happiest days since Chu Baning became king at the age of ten, which made him quite uncomfortable. But he was seriously injured this time. General Zhao, Wen Liang and others consciously did not bother him with war matters. Chu Baning was used to being busy. He had nothing to do and couldn't get out of bed. He could only use military tactics and the like. The book came to read. But after reading for a while, he saw Ananda who was sitting on the couch concentrating on embroidery, and wanted to call her over to talk for a while, but Ananda would always smile and refuse every time, and her reason was that his injury was not healed, Need to recuperate. Chu Baning couldn't refute, which made him very disappointed.
Chu Baning frowned, then drank the medicine bowl without saying a word. When Ananda saw this and was about to take his empty medicine bowl, Chu Baning suddenly put the bowl on the small table beside him, reached out and grabbed her wrist to grab her, and clasped her with a big hand The back of her head, she bent down and kissed her lips that were slightly parted in surprise, and her tongue with a slightly bitter taste went straight in...
Ananda tasted the bitter taste of the medicine, his face immediately wrinkled like a bun, his tongue immediately pushed out the thing that brought the bitter taste, and his body also struggled to move away. Chu Baning couldn't allow her to retreat, he wrapped her arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms, deepening the kiss.
Ananda was in a hurry, he had to resist the confusion caused by his domineering kiss and he had to be careful not to touch his wound because he lost control for a moment. But Chu Baning's indifference really made her angry. Does this person not love himself so much
After a while, Ananda lay softly in his arms out of breath, his pink cheeks flushed bright red, and he could tell what had happened at a glance.
Chu Baning hugged the girl who finally leaned docilely in his arms with some satisfaction, raised her cheek and kissed her forehead affectionately.
"Ananda... don't be angry."
Every time Chu Baning said a word, he kissed her once. Chu Baning couldn't say a word of apology, and he didn't feel that what he did was wrong, but Ananda's alienated cold war really made him very uncomfortable, and he felt a little empty in his heart.
When Ananda heard this, she knew that he was showing weakness to her, but what she wanted was not his words, what she wanted more was his explanation.
"I'm not angry."
Ananda was silent for a while, that was all he could say. After finishing speaking, Ananda felt Chu Baning's chest vibrate, and knew that he must be smiling. Ananda was a little annoyed, and wanted to hit him a few times, but remembering that he was still injured, he could only give up resentfully.
Chu Baning didn't know that he had escaped, so he raised Ananda's face and said narrowly, "If you're not angry, why hide yourself like this? Ananda, I'm sorry, I made you worry." After speaking , Chu Baning felt that "I'm sorry" or something didn't seem to be that difficult.
Ananda bit her lip, resisting the soreness in her eyes, she didn't want his apology...
Chu Baning carefully kissed her flushed eyes, with a smile on his lips, and said: "Zhao Geng has been stationed in Tongcheng for more than 20 years. He has been loyal to the imperial court and has never had any dissent. The time is in crisis, and Tongcheng cannot do without him. And Qihua is General Zhao's only daughter, and also his Achilles' heel, so I have no choice but to save her."
Ananda listened silently, she knew that the world in Chu Baning's heart was very heavy, but she didn't expect it to be so heavy that she even considered this point. At this time, Tongcheng is indeed in the midst of war. General Zhao has been stationed in Tongcheng for more than 20 years. His dedication to Tongcheng is beyond words, and he is also the person who knows the war between Tongcheng and the North Vietnamese people best. He is indispensable for the command of the war. He is the soul of all the Tongcheng army, because of him, Tongcheng was able to repel the North Vietnamese attacks again and again. And Ananda also knew that General Zhao's only weakness in this life was his only daughter. If something happened to Zhao Qihua, although General Zhao would not abandon Tongcheng, it would definitely be affected and let the enemy take advantage of it.
However, Ananda really wanted to say that she didn't care whether Zhao Qihua was dead or alive, she just wanted him to return to her side safely.
After Chu Baning finished explaining, he raised Ananda's face and looked into her eyes, "Ananda, I'm sorry for making you worry."
If "I'm sorry" is useful, what else do Yamen do
Ananda really wanted to reply hypocritically, but she knew how to stop at the right time, so her eyes turned red, she sniffled and put her arms around his neck, thinking that this man was so hateful, thinking that a "sorry" would be enough. Make her feel relieved? But, she... She just has nothing to do with his temperament.
Seeing that Ananda finally took the initiative to reach out his hand, Chu Baning breathed a sigh of relief, put his chin on the top of Ananda's head, and hugged his little wife who was finally willing to take the initiative to cuddle in his arms, feeling peaceful and tender in his heart.
***********
After Chu Baning's explanation, Ananda's unilateral cold war finally ended, and Ananda's attitude towards Chu Baning returned to normal.
only…
At night, seeing Ananda still dragging her pillow to the couch beside the bed, Chu Baning couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
Ananda said sternly: "My lord, Dr. Gu said that your wound has not yet healed, and there may be an accident at any time that may cause the wound to open. This concubine has to prevent this from happening." If she doesn't cherish herself, she can do whatever she wants, she can only work harder.
Ananda actually didn't want to sleep on a long couch, how could she sleep well in this kind of single bed like the dormitory in her previous life? But if she really slept on the bed, and she lost all scruples in her familiar big bed, what if Wai Yi really accidentally turned over and overwhelmed Chu Baning's wound? So Ananda decided to plan ahead.
"Also, my lord, you can't climb up on the couch while I'm asleep, what if I accidentally kicked you when I rolled over?" Ananda said with a serious face.
Chu Baning just raised his eyebrows and said, "This king is not so fragile."
Ananda had an expression of "listen to your nonsense", and then went to make the bed alone.
But the next day, Ananda still found that her prince climbed into bed again. Although he couldn't hold her to sleep because of the injury in his chest, Chu Baning stubbornly held her hand to sleep, which made her feel sore every morning in the hand she was holding.
Ananda wanted to be angry because of this, but Chu Baning just looked at her with those quiet black eyes, and said calmly: "Isn't it a matter of course for this king to sleep with his princess? Since you think the long couch Sleep comfortably, and this king will accompany you."
Ananda saw his expression of "this king can only sacrifice himself", and his breath was stuck in his chest and he couldn't breathe.
Ananda really wants to beat his heart, lord, can you be more shameless? ! !
This afternoon, Wen Liang came again.
The reason why I say "again" is because these days Wen Liang would go here whenever he had time to peep, eating and drinking here in the name of visiting the prince, which made Ananda grit his teeth secretly with anger.
Ananda was sitting on the long couch doing needlework at this time. Chu Baning just woke up from a nap. Because of his injuries, Ananda did not allow him to get out of bed. Chu Baning readily agreed and lay down until the long On the couch, Ananda's legs were used as pillows, and he was lying comfortably on it, covered with a woolen quilt, holding a volume of military art books in his hand and reading leisurely.
Ananda: =__=! My lord, can you be more shameless? !
When Ananda heard that the maid came to report Wen Liang's arrival, Ananda patted Chu Baning's hand and asked him to hold his "head" high and let her entertain the guests.
Chu Baning's eyes turned cold, and he turned around directly, facing Ananda's abdomen with his buttocks facing the outside, expressing with actions that he also didn't want to see a certain military adviser who came to eat and drink in the name of visiting the sick.
