"What about me?" Jiang Xuanjin rolled over her hands, pulled her sleeves up to cover the scar, and looked away, "Don't look like this."
He would rather she be teasing him with high spirits, her almond eyes filled with the spring breeze of March, instead of drooping her eyes like this, curling her mouth to cry or not. It hurts to see.
"Where did you know these things?" she asked nasally.
Jiang Xuanjin answered subconsciously: "Qingsi."
Li Huaiyu laughed angrily: "So you knew about it early on, so why didn't you say it had nothing to do with you?"
Jiang Xuanjin: "..."
No, this person has a good chat, no matter how he talks, he is full of tricks
She was so angry that she lifted the short chair on the soft couch, Huaiyu sat in front of him, stared at him and asked him: "When you knew I was lying to you, didn't you feel sad?"
She pursed her lips and looked at the short table that fell to the ground. Jiang Xuanjin was silent for a while, and then said "um" very softly.
"Since I'm sad, why do you care about me?" She put her hands on her hips, "You want me to feel guilty?!"
"No." He shook his head, "Right is right, wrong is wrong, what should be your fault is yours, it's not your fault, there's no reason for you to hold on to it."
It's still the same principle, just like he promised to reverse the case for Danyang back then, for nothing but justice.
This person must have grown up with a ruler, right? How can you be so upright? Li Huaiyu didn't know what to say. He lifted his sleeves, grabbed his hidden hand, rubbed it twice, and said in a muffled voice: "Actually, it's not necessary. After holding it for so many years, it will take too much effort to turn it over again. Instead of Doing this, it is better to clear the names of those who have been implicated by me, it is easier for them to stand up than for me."
Speaking of this, Jiang Xuanjin's expression became uneasy.
"You have been paving the way for them since you arrived in the first-tier cities."
"Huh?" Huaiyu reacted for a while, and then realized who he was referring to as 'they', and smiled, "They have been with me for many years and have done a lot for me. It is not a matter of course for me to repay one or two things. ?"
"Repay one or two?" Jiang Xuanjin said indifferently after chewing these four words slowly. "Replacing the yamen in the first-tier cities, emptying the county guard's mansion, ignoring the opposition of the surrounding lords, insisting on letting those people take up official positions, and even sending people to the capital to send a letter of honor, regardless of being assassinated. This is only a reward? What about three or four? How about with Wuliu?"
This man speaks really lightly, as if capturing this first-tier city is something that can be done with a single lift of the hand.
"Why are you so angry?" Huaiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Aren't I all done?"
"It's done." Jiang Xuanjin nodded, "In five months, you cleaned them all up, and you were the only one who didn't even say a word in your defense. In Yinping, they were scolded by Jiang's family, and you still know Angry and protective, what about yourself? Happy to bear the infamy?"
"... no... not happy." The voice weakened, Huaiyu scratched his chin, feeling a little guilty for no reason.
Jiang Xuanjin's eyes were cold and cold: "Why didn't you act when you were unhappy? With your ability, you made a big fuss. It's very difficult to explain everything that happened back then?"
"It's not difficult, it's just that it's not the right time." Huaiyu smiled and squeezed his hand, "Think about it, if the first-tier city is still in dire straits and I'm eager to complain for myself, then the situation here will improve later, is it right? I have to say that it’s just me trying to clear up my bad reputation? Just because they work hard and are very talented, I can’t cast a shadow over the results of their hard work, can I?”
"You just take them too seriously!"
Huaiyu frowned: "After so many years of relationship, if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't have been swallowing their anger. I put them in the most important point, is there a problem?"
"No problem!" The man in front of him said fiercely, "You think they are important, and I think you are important too. If you are reluctant to spend effort on yourself, then I will give it to you!"
It's clearly for her own good, why is it that when he said it, there was a smell of frustration
Eyebrows softened, Huaiyu leaned over to lie in his arms, grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach, pouted and said: "Listen, listen, your father is bullying your mother!"
His face froze, Jiang Xuanjin seemed to be gagged by something, his fingertips curled up, his eyelashes trembled, and he choked for a moment.
Lips hooked into a smirk, Huaiyu leaned on his chest, and said to his stomach resolutely: "You will learn from your mother in the future, and you can say anything openly. Although your father is a nice person, he is just too cold. Some, he refuses to say what he wants, for example, now, he really wants to kiss your mother, but he keeps silent."
With half of his face darkened, Jiang Xuanjin gritted his teeth: "When did I think...don't talk nonsense to it!"
"Am I talking nonsense?" Huaiyu blinked, "You don't want to kiss me?"
"In no mood!"
Turning to look at him, Li Huaiyu touched his chin and thought for a while, then hooked his neck and leaned on him, and kissed him on the lips.
"That's what I thought." She said seriously.
"..."
The cold wind swirled outside the window, but couldn't blow into the room. Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips and stared at the brazier, with a bright red color on her lips.
Huaiyu watched in admiration. Stretching out his hand to caress it, he whispered: "You are so beautiful, I still want to kiss you."
Protecting her belly with his hands, Jiang Xuanjin lowered his head to rest on her shoulder, and said to the bulging belly: "I won't learn from your mother in the future, I'm not serious."
As soon as he said this, he couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth.
The person in the arms was very unconvinced, and said with a straight neck: "What do you mean I don't have a serious mouth?"
After a pause, he added confidently: "I'm not serious in my behavior either!"
Taking a deep look at her, Jiang Xuanjin said to her stomach: "Your mother is really good at self-knowledge."
Huaiyu bar smacked his mouth twice, and said in confusion: "You are complimenting me or scolding me..."
Jiang Xuanjin didn't answer, but the smile in his eyes became stronger and stronger, as if the snow had melted the whole winter, and a gorgeous flower bloomed on his lips.
"Your Highness." Jiuwu's voice sounded from outside the door.
When Huaiyu wanted to get up, Jiang Xuanjin reached out and held her down, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
Pushing the door open, Wu Wu said: "There is news from Kyoto. It is said that His Majesty ordered Pingling to send troops to destroy it on the grounds that there were bandits in the first-tier cities."
Bandits? Huaiyu sneered: "The grandchildren from the first-tier cities have gone to the capital, right?"
Just Wu nodded: "Everything is in Tingwei's Mansion."
"Is there any imperial envoy in Pingling?"
"have."
"That's good." She hugged her stomach and said, "Inform Danyang Border City and prepare to welcome guests."
She is worrying that no one will know about the great happy event in the first-tier city, and she is rushing to give her the opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity not to seize it
"What are you doing?" The person behind held her twitching body.
Huaiyu turned around, blinked and said, "I'm going to arrange something. The Danyang border city is thirty miles away from here. If I don't make preparations in advance, what should I do if I can't handle this distinguished guest?"
"You have a good rest." Jiang Xuanjin said, "Don't worry about anything else."
Li Huaiyu was stunned, she really wanted to say. This is her territory, she doesn't care who is in charge? But she quickly thought of one thing.
The first-tier city is only ten miles away from the border city of Ziyang...
Blinking, blinking again, she grinned and grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Are you going to protect me?"
Let her lean on the soft pillow, Jiang Xuanjin got up and went to bed, and said with a blank expression: "The family and the country are important matters, why don't you protect them?"
Then he took Jiuwu out the door.
So Wu followed him around to the backyard puzzled, and as soon as he stopped, he heard him say: "People who are pregnant should not be too tired. You can talk to me about these things in the future."
"This..." Jiu Wu lowered his eyes, "It is my duty to inform His Highness of the news from everywhere."
Looking at him indifferently, Jiang Xuanjin asked, "Do you know martial arts?"
His forehead twitched, and Wu cupped his hands: "I know a little about fur, black silk and His Highness's martial arts, all of which are taught by me."
Qingsi, you know it! The number one martial artist in the harem! Princess, you know it! He used to be an invincible player all over Chang'an Street! For so many years of wandering in the rivers and lakes, it was the first time someone questioned his martial arts attainments, and his face turned blue.
However, the person in front of him seemed to recall what he said about the martial arts of those two people, and then said slowly: "It is true that they have a little superficial understanding."
Jiuwu: "..."
How could he forget that Qingsi was captured by the person in front of him. Needless to say, Your Highness.
But both of them are girls! What is the meaning of this attitude of looking down on him even if he has not exhausted his true biography? Just Wu is a very stable person, but he couldn't hold back when facing Jiang Xuanjin's appearance.
"Where did I offend the emperor?" She was willing to spend all her time trying to tease him!
Jiang Xuanjin shook his head kindly: "Your Excellency, worry too much. I am not a person who holds grudges, but I just have a heavy responsibility to hand over. I am afraid that Your Excellency will not be able to do it, so I ask a few more questions."
Saying that, he took off his inscription very generously and put it in his hand.
The cold thing fell into his hands, and Ju Wu looked down, his heart skipped a beat.
Lord Ziyang's inscription, which can be used as a military talisman, was given to him so lightly
"There are defenders in the border city of Ziyang, my lord will take this to find the commanding army, he will obey the arrangement." Jiang Xuanjin said, "If there is someone coming from Pingling, there will be a letter tomorrow, my lord will lead the troops to station outside the first-line city , just play by ear.”
Just Wu was stunned: "Your Majesty, this is... to guard the first-tier city for His Highness?"
Who said just now that there is no protection
"How can it be regarded as guarding?" Jiang Xuanjin stood with his hands behind his back, and said righteously, "It's just a good etiquette for welcoming guests."
Just Wu was silent, staring at the Ming Pei in his hand, thinking that this etiquette was really scary.
However, he has the opportunity to lead the army, and even more likely to fight against others. Just thinking about the scene of swords, lights and swords, the blood in his bones boiled again.
"The next official takes orders!" He saluted Lord Ziyang.
Huaiyu was leaning on the soft couch, scratching her ears and cheeks with curiosity, and wanted to eavesdrop, but now her body is inconvenient to move, once she is discovered, she will have to be taught a lesson. But if she had to wait patiently... she just couldn't stand it!
After struggling for a long time, she still tiptoed down from the couch, and secretly touched the door string with her embroidered shoes.
"Squeak—" the door opened, but she didn't open it. Someone came in from outside, covered in wind and frost.
"Running around?" He said coldly.
Neck shrinking, Huaiyu turned her head and rolled back on the soft couch, pretending nothing happened, tucked in the thin quilt and smiled at him: "Are you back?"
Jiang Xuanjin entered the door and stood condescendingly on the edge of the soft couch to look at her: "Are you afraid that I will eat it?"
"That's not true." Huaiyu chuckled. "I'm just afraid that it's cold outside and will freeze you."
After a pause, she still couldn't help asking: "How about Wu if you're not right?"
When he came back from the post station before, when he entered the door, he heard Jiuwu say that Lu Jingxing was better than him. At that time, the master's eyes darkened, she saw it!
Reaching out her hand to straighten her skirt, Jiang Xuanjin said slowly, "What can I do to him? He is a martial artist, and he has learned a lot of military skills from you. Let him help mobilize troops."
"Mobilize troops?" Huaiyu was surprised, "You trust him so much?"
"I don't trust him."
I trust you.
Without saying the second half of the sentence, Little Princess Jiang just snorted coldly and looked at her sideways.
Li Huaiyu understood, and touched his hand: "It's rare for you to be so considerate."
With Jiuwu's temperament, he would definitely like such a task very much.
"Your Highness congratulates me." Jiang Xuanjin curled his lips at her, "Your Highness might as well say goodbye to him while it's still early."
"Well... wait, farewell?" Huaiyu didn't realize it a little bit, "It's only two or three days in total, don't you need to be so solemn?"
Jiang Xuanjin looked more kindly, stroked her head lightly, and said: "He has other things to do, and he may not come back within ten days and a half months. Your Highness should give it away."
