Hidden Sky Light - Chapter 63

It was almost a month and a half after going from Dongcheng to Yanhanjing, and now it has been more than ten or twenty days. Xu Jiao couldn’t help it, “Is there any chili sauce?”

Qi Changping sighed, “Master Xiang, the ones I brought are broken, and some are also the chili sauce I bought here…”

Xu Jiao was really not used to Yanhan’s dishes.

And because she was accompanied by the officials of the other party’s Honglu Temple, each meal had to be used as a symbol. In fact, she didn’t eat much, and she always came back to the post house and asked Qi Changping to prepare bibimbap with chili sauce.

Qi Changping sighed, “Master Xiang, there are still more than ten or twenty days. You can’t bibimbap with chili every day.”

Xu Jiao had a headache.

When I came to Yanhan last time, I still had some freshness, and it was okay to eat anything. This time, the freshness was gone. I was really not used to eating it, and I couldn’t eat it anymore. I almost ate snacks along the way.

But when you get tired of snacks, you still have to eat the main food.

Xu Jiao was a little annoyed at the thought that he would have to stay until the end of the year. It would take half a year to leave Beijing before and after…

“Is Mr. Xiang here?” Outside the house, it was the voice of the inn’s clerk.

Qi Changping just finished talking to Xu Jiao, so he opened the door and greeted him. He was about to say “Master Xiang is here” when he saw Chen Xiuyuan in the garden.

Qi Changping cupped his hands and said respectfully, “I have seen King Jingping.”

As soon as Xu Jiao heard the words “King Jingping”, he was thinking about how to bypass Chen Xiuyuan, but as soon as Qi Changping finished his words, he heard Chen Xiuyuan say, “I have something to do with Xu Xiang.”

Xu Jiao had a headache, but he heard Qi Chang calmly say, “Your Highness, Xiangye is unwell, he has just been in bed, and the lower official is about to leave.”

Xu Jiao always felt that Qi Changping was reliable and easy to handle.

Chen Xiuyuan looked at the direction in the room, clenched his fist and coughed twice, and responded to Qi Changping, “Ah, that’s a pity, there is a hot and sour powder here, and I originally wanted to take Xu Xiang along.”

Qi Changping sweated silently in his heart.

Sure enough, Xu Jiao came out when he heard the door creaked open, “Is it far?”

Chen Xiuyuan smiled, “There’s not a lot of land in total, it’s not far.”

Xu Jiao weighed it a little. It was cold and hungry. He could wear more clothes when it was cold, but if he wanted to eat hot and sour noodles, he could still warm himself up, “Let’s go then.”

Chen Xiuyuan smiled.

Chen Xiuyuan said it was close, and it was really close. It was just a few streets and alleys past the post house, and it was on the side of the road. If it wasn’t for the guards around Chen Xiuyuan, there weren’t many people around, it would be a bit conspicuous.

“Guest officer, what do you want?” The noodle stall owner was frightened by the situation.

But the two people in front of them were both good-looking and gentle.

“Two bowls of hot and sour noodles with spicy and sour.” Chen Xiuyuan responded, then looked at Xu Jiao, “Hey, the peppers here are very spicy…”

Xu Jiao smiled at the boss, “Then if you’re tired, add more acid.”

The boss responded quickly.

Chen Xiuyuan smiled and was about to take the chopsticks and prepare to hand them to her, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he took the teapot on one side and heated the tableware and chopsticks before handing them to him.

Xu Jiao couldn’t help but look at him.

Chen Xiuyuan said slowly, “Look at what I do, haven’t you always been used to this?”

Xu Jiao didn’t answer.

Chen Xiuyuan poured tea for her in the teacup that had just been ironed, “Yanhan and Nan have a long way to go. You emperors are really at ease to let you come alone, and you are not afraid that you will get lost and won’t be able to go back?”

Xu Jiao took the teacup and said softly, “King Jingping should go find a doctor and take a good look at his eyes. There is a mighty team of hundreds of people, how could I be alone in King Jingping’s place?”

“Hmm.” Chen Xiuyuan approached, “There are hundreds of people, even a private soldier can rob you, Xu Xiang.”

Xu Jiao put down his fingertips and tapped the edge of the table, and smiled slowly, “It’s not Nan Shun who is embarrassed, it’s Cang Yue and Yan Han, Nan Shun is open and candid. What are you afraid of? If there is an accident, hundreds of people, thousands of people, or 10,000 people, aren’t they all the same?”

Chen Xiuyuan hissed lightly, “Yes, huh.”

It happened that the owner of the noodle stall brought the hot and sour noodles, and it was Xu Jiao who smelled sour.

While thanking Xu Jiao, he stirred with chopsticks.

Chen Xiuyuan originally came to accompany her, and while holding chopsticks, he continued, “Why don’t you just stay in your country? There are so many people in Namshun, why do you have to come?”

Xu Jiao said softly, “Those who are capable work harder.”

Chen Xiuyuan sneered lightly, “Xu Qinghe, that’s not self-deprecating words.”

Xu Jiao changed his tune, “Then eat without talking or sleeping.”

Chen Xiuyuan: “…”

When he really started eating hot and sour noodles, Xu Jiao’s eyes and nose were red and he drank water. Chen Xiuyuan tickled the corner of his mouth again, “Sour plum soup.”

Xu Jiao looked at him, “Will you take it out earlier?”

Chen Xiuyuan said, “You didn’t ask…”

Xu Jiao took a mouthful of sour plum candy, and his eyes were red.

“Hey, are you Yuandi really that good-looking?” Chen Xiuyuan asked.

“Why do you always miss our Majesty?” Xu Jiao was annoyed.

Chen Xiuyuan looked at her, “I’m very impressed.”

Chen Xiuyuan also took a sip of the sour plum soup, “Knowing that Yan Han was in chaos, how can your Yuan Emperor let you come here, aren’t you afraid?”

Xu Jiao wiped the corners of his mouth and said calmly, “I am the envoy of Nanshun, and I will come if you are messy or not. This is my duty, and it will not vary from person to person. I am here because of the trust of His Majesty Nanshun. Trust me and you, Emperor Huan, why do you still worry about your majesty?”

Chen Xiuyuan: “…”

After Xu Jiao finished speaking, he deliberately stepped forward and said, “King Jingping, are you still crying?”

Chen Xiuyuan’s face changed slightly, “Xu Jiao, which pot can’t you lift without opening it?”

Xu Jiao smiled.

Leaving the noodle stall, the two walked back to the inn.

Chen Xiuyuan put his hands behind his back, “Your Majesty only returned to Beijing in mid-October. If you really want to leave in November, wouldn’t that year be on your way?”

Xu Jiao’s eyes were clear, “Let’s see, if it really goes well, it’s better to go back earlier; but if it doesn’t go well, I’m afraid I’ll have to stay longer, I hope it goes well…”

Chen Xiuyuan smiled and said, “Welcome to stay in Yanhanjing for the Chinese New Year.”

Xu Jiao looked at him, “Why, have you heard the wind? Or which country’s envoys have you left to spend the New Year in Beijing?”

Chen Xiuyuan clicked his tongue and sighed, “Xu Jiao, don’t tell me.”

Xu Jiao looked innocent, “Where did I lie to you?”

Chen Xiuyuan chuckled, “Xu Xiangxin is like a mirror.”

Xu Jiao really didn’t say much, and he said too much, but it was eye-catching, and it was good to be true.

“Seriously, Xu Jiao, one day you won’t be able to get along with your majesty. Welcome to Yanhan to find me.” Chen Xiuyuan pretended to be serious.

Xu Jiao is also serious, “No, you are arrogant and lustful, I am poor.”

Chen Xiuyuan: “…”

Chen Xiuyuan laughed, “Xu Jiao, it’s yours.”

***

When he returned to the inn, Qi Changping asked, “Master, Changping actually has something unknown, and I want to ask him for advice.”

Xu Jiao looked at him, “Speak.”

Qi Changping asked, “Emperor Yanhan’s surname is Chen, and King Jingping is also surnamed Chen. Since they are not different surnames, why should they be given the title of king of different surnames, and looking at their appearance, the emperor of Yanhan should rely on King Jingping’s mansion.”

Xu Jiao smiled and said, “You are not an official of Honglu Temple, so you don’t know the origin of Yan Han’s surname. Earlier Yan Han was actually surnamed Zhao, not Chen. Emperor Huan’s great-grandfather used to be the marquis of Jingping in the country. Marquis Ping had two sons, the eldest son was the grandfather of King Jingping, and the second son was the grandfather of Emperor Huan. At that time, there were only two daughters in the Tian family of Yanhan, and Emperor Huan’s grandfather became the princess, and later Yanhan changed his surname to Chen. Although King Ping is all surnamed Chen, King Jingping is the eldest son, and Emperor Huan is the second son. Strictly speaking, the throne of Emperor Huan was inherited from her grandmother.”

Qi Changping was surprised, “Then, why isn’t the surname Zhao?”

Xu Jiao narrowed his eyes slightly, “Because at that time, the world could have been surnamed Chen, and it was the Marquis of Jingping who did not compete. But even if the Marquis of Jingping did not compete at that time, how many generations later?”

Qi Changping suddenly realized.

Xu Jiao smiled and said, “Therefore, the relationship between Emperor Huan and King Jingping is very delicate, with both interdependence and mutual checks and balances. Chen Xiuyuan is a fox, and Chen Ling is even more so. If he wants to take out vested interests from the fox, he can only be alert. some.”

Qi Changping cupped his hands, “Changping understands.”

Only then did Xu Jiao close the cape and sighed softly, “Why is Yan Han so cold~”

Qi Changping said, “Let’s go to Nanshun.”

Xu Jiao smiled and said, “Yeah, there’s nothing better than Nan Shun.”

Xu Jiao blinked, his slender eyelashes reflected in the dim light, like a butterfly with golden wings, returning like an arrow.

***

At night, Qi Shan came to the room and replied, “Your Majesty, Mother Fang asked someone to tell me that Your Highness is asleep.”

Chen Ling didn’t raise his head, he responded while looking at Zhezi.

There are excerpts from various places, as well as excerpts from Honglu Temple.

It has been more than 20 days since I received Xu Jiao, and Xu Jiao has not asked a word.

Emperor Yuan asked Xu Jiao to come because Xu Jiao did the horse thing before, and Xu Jiao was a bit thin in front of her. Emperor Yuan knew it very well, and Xu Jiao knew better.

She had to be careful.

Thinking about this, Qi Shan came again, “Your Majesty.”

Chen Ling looked up at him, “What’s wrong?”

He just exited for less than two seconds.

Qi Shan smiled and said, “General Shen is back.”

Qi Shan really saw that the emperor was stunned, and the displeasure on his face just now disappeared.

Chen Ling thought, wouldn’t it take two more days?

Shen Ci has already entered, “A Ling.”

Qishan had already retreated consciously, and Chen Ling looked at her, “You’re not…”

Shen Ci directly picked her up and kissed her.

He always likes to hold her like this, making her a head above him. He looked up at her, and she had to put his arms around the back of his neck, “Aren’t you going to be back in two days?”

Shen Ci looked at her reverently, “I’ve been running for two nights at night, and I didn’t stop during the day. I just want to see you and A Nian earlier. Are you surprised?”

Chen Ling smiled.

Shen Ci sighed, “Why do I miss you so much? From frugality to luxury is easy, and from luxury to frugality is difficult, what should I do?”

Chen Ling was slightly startled, he thought about the same words as her.

Seeing Chen Ling stunned, Shen Ci ‘wronged’, “A Ling, did you miss me?”

Chen Ling said softly, “Put me down.”

He still had a smile on his face, “I’ll let you down after that…”

Chen Lingnai sighed, “Do you think you want to?”

Shen Ci kissed her and said gently, “Then I should think about it, I miss you every day…”

He still didn’t let her down.

The two kissed behind the screen, and their clothes were scattered all over the floor, from the inner room to the ear room, and from the ear room to the tub.

Shen Ci leaned on the edge of the tub, and Chen Ling held his hand on the edge of the tub, leaning half on him, looking at him, “Zi’an, why did you go to Huaicheng?”

Shen Ci’s face was still red, and he answered truthfully, “Look at my aunt, my aunt won’t let me come back, my aunt is in Miaocheng, and my eldest brother said Shan Hai’s birthday, he made an excuse to let me come back…”

Chen Ling smiled, “You didn’t lie to me?”

Shen Ci gasped, “What am I lying to you for, Ling…”

He reached out and stroked her blue silk, “Little Biesheng is newly married, brother Zi’an wants you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked her up against the tub.

The water waves are gentle, and the gentle water seeps into the limbs along the skin. He hugs her, and she also hugs his arms tightly, “Zi’an…”

…

In the ear room, the charcoal is burning just right.

Chen Ling was wrapped in a bathrobe and wiped her hair in front of the bronze mirror. After a while, Shen Ci entered, “Let Qishan go get the clothes.”

Chen Ling looked at him and hummed softly.

Just now, the clothes were wet and shattered, and the dragon robe was not spared…

Shen Ci stepped forward, “I’ll come.”

He wanted to wipe her head for her, but Chen Ling said softly, “It’s all done.”

She was sitting on the small couch, and he simply squatted down to look at her, just at eye level with her.

“What?” Chen Ling didn’t know what he was going to do?

Shen Ci smiled, “Have you not been in Beijing for a few years, has there been any change in Beijing?”

She knew that he was afraid of her waiting for a long time, so she talked with her.

Chen Ling replied, “No, you’re not there.”

Shen Ci looked at her, and she continued, “When you come back, it will be the same…”

Qishan’s voice sounded outside, “General Shen.”

Shen Ci understood, it was Qi Shan who came with the clothes, and Shen Ci said warmly, “I’ll take you out.”

Chen Ling nodded.

He carried her into the room and on the bed, Chen Ling blushed, “I just did it…”

Shen Ci pulled on the quilt and said ambiguous, “Anyway, isn’t it going to be early tomorrow?”

“Shen Zi’an, don’t make trouble…”

“Shen Zi’an, are you a fox spirit?”

“Shen Zi’an, you bastard!”
