Spring Banquet - Chapter 81
Listening to her relaxed tone, it was as if she was completely relieved from the moment she got the letter of divorce. She didn’t avoid him, and asked him to stay for a while.
Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips, pinching her cuffs to tighten.
Do you want him to stay to see the moat flowing through the water, or do you want him to stay and see her wedding with Lu Jingxing? It’s okay for him to leave, if he is there and watching, I can’t guarantee what he will do.
Is this also a kind of revenge?
Coolness penetrated through the window, making him stiff, but the person in front of him seemed to have noticed something. He opened the window to see, and exclaimed “Wow”.
Snowing!
In the first-tier cities that hadn’t seen rain or snow for many years, there was a little snow and crystal white falling down the window sill. She pinched her sleeve to pick it up, turned her head with a smile, and handed it to him: “Look!”
Suddenly, Jiang Xuanjin felt as if she had returned to the main building of Moju. The separation and tearing for so long was just a nightmare. She was still by his side, laughing and arguing, wanting to watch this deep winter snow scene with him.
He stretched out his fingertips in a daze, and gently touched the bright white on her sleeve, but when he touched it, the tiny white pieces disappeared.
Eyelashes trembled, Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips, and the ink in her eyes surged.
Untouchable, touch it, it’s gone.
Withdrawing his hand behind his back, he tightened his jaw, and wanted to say coldly, “His Royal Highness, please come back”, but the words were on his lips. After thinking about it, he swallowed it back.
For the rest of his life, he can be restrained slowly. Now, why not indulge yourself more?
Li Huaiyu seemed not afraid of the cold, and Xue Shang, who stood by the window for a while, felt not enough, and wanted to climb on the soft couch next to him so that he could stretch his hands farther.
Jiang Xuanjin endured it again, but still couldn’t hold it back, stepping forward and holding her down: “Don’t move!”
Huaiyu raised her eyebrows, turned her head and smiled: “Why? Afraid that I might be hurt? Didn’t you say that it was the child of Shopkeeper Lu? Why are you panicking?”
With a stiff face, Jiang Xuanjin said coldly: “There are a few short legs on the soft couch, and there are many water chestnuts. If your Highness is hurt, shopkeeper Lu will definitely be counted on my head.”
“Maybe something.” Huaiyu waved his hand freely. “He can’t do anything to you.”
“…Even if he is not so good, there are still Wu and Chijin. And you who are full of Princess Mansion, I can’t afford to commit crimes.”
“Your Majesty is humble.” Apricot eyes squinted, Huaiyu said jokingly, “You are really moved, not to mention my princess mansion, I can’t keep the entire first-tier city.”
After speaking, we must continue.
However, as soon as his knees hit the soft couch, a green amber sleeve robe suddenly appeared in front of him.
Jiang Xuanjin’s movements were very restrained, with his arms crossed in front of her collarbone, pinching her shoulders, and salvaging her whole body.
With a smile on his lips, Li Dagang took a few steps back and pressed it to his chest.
A slight vibration came from the vest, and she could hear the sound of his inhaling lightly, and it disappeared in one click. She stood straight and put her hands down.
“Your Highness can’t stand steady?”
“Yeah.” Huaiyu sighed, “Since my belly is big, my feet have been swollen. I often feel unstable in my back and back every day.”
If Qing Si heard this, she would vomit blood. Still unsteady? Who ran faster than rabbits on the street last time? !
Jiang Xuanjin listened, but her jaw was tight, she looked down at her, wanted to reach out and help her, but didn’t know where to put her hand.
The person in front of him suddenly said “Ah”, his heart jumped and frowned: “What?”
Holding her belly, she sat on the soft couch with a strange expression, frowned in silence.
“Speak!” Jiang Xuanjin stood in front of her with a calm expression on her face. When she spoke, the fear in her tone could not be hidden.
Huaiyu slowly raised his head and pointed at his stomach.
Jiang Xuanjin didn’t care too much, so she put her hand up and probed.
This belly seemed to be much stronger than he thought, heavy and bulging. When he touched it, the contents inside moved, and the little touch just fell on the palm of his hand.
Jiang Xuanjin shook, and hurriedly retracted her hand, calmly saying: “I will let Chengxu send a doctor.”
“Hey, no need.” The expression returned to normal, Huaiyu said, “It’s the fetal movement, normal.”
What do you normally do with that expression? ! Jiang Xuanjin turned her head and glared at her.
Li Huaiyu said with a hippy smile: “I’m scared every time my fetus moves. I’m afraid it will suddenly burst into my stomach and come out.”
This feeling of fear must be tasted by him to make her feel comfortable.
Jiang Xuanjin was silent, and after a long while, he let out a sigh of relief.
Grievances.
The urgent letter of 800 miles was sent back to the main city of Ziyang within a day. Lu Qing was dug out from the bed, thinking that something big had happened, and hurriedly took the letter and opened it.
However, after reading the letter, his mouth twitched, and he couldn’t help throwing the letter paper to the ground: “If you want a doctor girl, you can use 800 li to expedite? Is he really a male tired?”
The subordinates reported weakly: “The emperor uses the Chollima, and he is not exhausted.”
Lu Qing went sideways with cold eyes, and his subordinates immediately silenced.
“Let the one named Qi Jin set off today, find a few people to escort, and ride over.”
“Yes.”
After the order was over, Lu Qing paced back and forth in the hall with his hands on his back. He was so angry that he almost smashed the floor tiles. He turned and said, “We remind you every day. If you don’t come back every day, it’s fine if you don’t come back. Like a home in the city, he is not happy to let him direct the first-tier city to Ziyang, he doesn’t know what he is thinking!”
“As long as he is busy, Lao Tzu is not busy? I still want to marry a daughter-in-law. He is so busy that he can’t get out of the gate of the county guard mansion. Who is Ziyang Jun?”
The silent subordinate couldn’t help but speak again: “The Lord has prepared you many portraits of aristocratic ladies, and they are all in your study.”
Lu Qing stared, “What’s the use of putting a portrait? He just put a beautiful woman on me!”
The subordinates were silent, thinking that you are just calling out so much, that you really put a beautiful woman, and with your temperament, you must be afraid to enter.
However, he was still very considerate. When the medical girl Qi Jin set out, he asked Master Lu’s words to be brought to the king.
Qi Jin got on the horse tremblingly, very excited.
Counting the days, Madam’s body should have been six months, she had never received any news before, and had already planned for the worst. As a result, Jun Shang suddenly summoned her.
There are doctors everywhere. If you have to give a reason to let her go, it is that the king knows that his wife is pregnant, and asks her to go over and ask her.
It’s okay to ask the crime! Qi Jin thought with red eyes, as long as Jun Shang and his wife can repair the old, even if she gets punished.
However, with the king’s temperament, knowing that he has a child, maybe he is just happy, and even saves punishing her!
Thinking optimistically, Qi Jin rode a horse with the guards and hurried on the road.
After a light snowfall in the first-tier cities, the water flow in the moat became larger and larger. The people stood on the bank of the river and cheered. They were impatient, so they got down and scooped water with buckets.
“It’s saved, our Tian is saved!”
“Hurry up, come here, get some water!”
“Water, a lot of water!”
There were more and more people by the river, and some even jumped straight down. The beaming screams spread from the direction of the city gate to the entire city, and the first-tier cities finally came alive.
Huaiyu stood on the tower and watched with a smile, and Wu and others replied by her side: “The Qulinhe River Channel has started construction. When the construction is completed, the remaining tributaries of the three counties of Dongping will be cut off. Even the first-tier cities are less rainy. , There will be no more drought.”
“Very good.” Huaiyu nodded, and was about to say something more, when he saw a group of people gathered around the bottom of the city, all of them were holding plates in their hands. There were wotou and buns on the plates, as if they wanted to be delivered, but they were stopped by the guard Up. Still shouting in his mouth:
“Only Master Wu! Only Master Wu!”
“Miss Xu, we are here to give thanks!”
“Master Tongjun, let us go up!”
Huaiyu knew it, and looked at the people around him with a smile: “You are also good officials nowadays. The people’s kindness must lead you to go. It doesn’t count as your bribery.”
The elders were a little embarrassed and scratched their heads. Xu Chuyong saw a grandmother standing unsteadily below, and quickly took the lead to meet him.
Huaiyu took a look and thought that the picture is really beautiful. This is the treatment that good people should have. Instead of being scolded, they are treated as their own children. While stuffing them, they said: “Try it, our family I did it with extra sugar!”
Huaiyu retracted his gaze, stood alone on the tower, and continued to look at the river below, with a little bit of envy in his eyes.
She can help them, but she can’t help herself. In the eyes of the people, she is still the evil princess Danyang.
The cold wind blew up and tossed her temples. Huaiyu stretched out her hand to put the hair behind her ears, thinking very generously, it doesn’t matter, she always has to pay the price after four years of arrogant and fearless life.
Irregular footsteps sounded nearby, and Li Huaiyu thought that it was someone who came back, but didn’t turn his head.
However, after a while, a pair of old hands held a pan-wotou and handed them to her side.
With a shock in his heart, Huaiyu looked back abruptly.
Grandma’s face has deep folds, and she can’t see her eyes when she smiles. She has lost a lot of teeth and can’t speak clearly, but Huaiyu still hears it.
She said: “His Royal Highness, my son and wife are all carrying water and watering the ground, I’ll thank you.”
Blinking, blinking again, Huaiyu looked at the wotou on the plate, his throat tightened, and then smiled again: “Old man, you can give it to whoever you should, don’t listen to them and give it to me.”
Grandma was startled, and asked her: “Are you the eldest princess?”
The guard next to him frowned to come forward and blame her for being rude, Li Huaiyu stretched out his hand to stop the person, and slowly nodded at her.
“That’s for you.” Grandma smiled, her gums were exposed, “You are a good person.”
The full plate of wotou was stuffed into her hand, Huaiyu’s eyes were confused, and even looked at Jiuwu, suspecting that they had specially invited her to make her happy.
However, the grandmother said, “I came here from Jiangxi more than two years ago. You saved my house once, this is the second time.”
In the six years of Daxing’s drought in Jiangxi, the plague spread across seven counties, and it will sweep the entire Jiangxi with an unstoppable force. If the princess did not immediately shut down the city, the disease of medicine and stone would definitely kill more people.
Grandma didn’t understand the court disputes, she only knew that their family was saved because of the princess.
And this time, thanks to the princess, the first-tier cities that had been drought for many years now have water. They can water the ground, grow food, and continue to live.
A pan of wotou, equivalent to a family’s rations for a day, she brought it all, wiping her hands on the patched apron, looking a little cramped.
Li Huaiyu was stunned for a while, then reached out his hand to pick up a nest and took a bite.
The dry taste was far inferior to Chijin’s craftsmanship, but she swallowed it and took another bite.
“Hall… Your Royal Highness?” The guard next to him wanted to persuade, Huaiyu shook his head, and ate a big wotou. Finally, he held the plate and said to the grandma: “I will finish eating.”
Granny smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Li Huaiyu asked, “Where is your home?”
“Not far, it’s just outside the western suburbs.” Grandma pointed, “I should go back too.”
Looking at the direction, Huaiyu nodded, and gestured to the guard next to him. The latter understood clearly, helped her grandma down the tower, and carried a few bags of rice. Take it back to her home.
When Jiang Xuanjin came up, she saw Li Huaiyu holding a pan of head in a daze.
He was puzzled. He walked over and took a look. The plate was rough and the head was rough, but there were crumbs on her fingers, and she had obviously eaten one.
“Your Highness?”
Hearing his voice, the person in front of him raised his head, with bright eyes like stars.
She lifted the plate in her hand like a child, and showed off to him with her eyes wide open: “This is for me by a grandma!”
Jiang Xuanjin didn’t understand. She quickly pointed to the group of people who were still surrounded by the people, pointed to the plate in her hand, and grinned: “I have it too!”
Slightly startled, Jiang Xuanjin cast her eyes down: “You can be so happy with just one pan.”
“You don’t understand!” Huai Yuzhi couldn’t stop smiling, her eyes full of brilliance, “She said I’m a good person!”
For so long, she has been living in the intrigue of the court, she has been accustomed to the verbal abuse of the officials and the people, and the comfort of the people around her. For the first time someone praised her so sincerely and plainly.
People with high reputation like Jiang Xuanjin. Reverence and affection for people must be taken for granted. Unlike her, she waited for eight years before she came to such a pan.
Cheng Xu frowned behind him, and stopped talking.
How could the master not understand? If he didn’t understand, he wouldn’t try his best to exchange for her the current situation.
“I don’t understand.” Jiang Xuanjin answered her quietly, looking at ease.
Li Huaiyu was in a good mood, and smiled and asked, “Sir, do you want to let me go and have a look? Let’s talk about Danyang and Ziyang by the way?”
“No.” He refused without thinking.
However, after the two sticks of incense, a carriage slowly walked along the moat. The carriage was covered with thick bedding, nestled in the corner with a pillow, and sighed comfortably.
The Ziyang Jun in front of him knelt down on the soft quilt in disgust, his body still straight.
“Aren’t you tired?” Huaiyu raised an eyebrow. “This car is used to lie down. It is not comfortable to sit.”
“His Royal Highness has something to say straight.” He said coldly.
Li Huaiyu chuckled, supporting his chin and looking at him, and said, “Lu Ji is supplying the first-tier cities. The supply of Danyang Border City is not enough, and some have to be shipped from Ziyang Border City. But Ziyang is very strict with Danyang, and things cannot be shipped. City gate, please make it easier for you.”
Riding with him is just to plead with Lu Jingxing?
With a tight heart, Jiang Xuanjin sneered: “What if it’s not convenient for me?”
With a soft snort, Huaiyu spoke with great momentum: “If you can’t make this convenient! Then I will!”
Moving around, moving to his side, reaching out and hooking his fingers, Li Huaiyu smiled, “Then I beg you more.”
The tone that suddenly softened, like a pair of gentle hands, supported his sinking heart.
There was a lot of pain in her chest. Jiang Xuanjin stared at her and held her hand. She was silent for a long time. Then she said, her voice was a little dumb: “You do this, you are not afraid of Lu Jingxing angry?”
Huaiyu thought about it seriously, and shook his head: “He won’t be angry.”
“Yes.” Jiang Xuanjin nodded, “For so many years, he can always be by your side, there is always his uniqueness.”
Is that right? Lu Jingxing is indeed capable of making money.
Huaiyu smiled secretly. Seeing him wanting to get rid of her and couldn’t bear to look at him, he stretched out his hand inch by inch and got into his fingers, clasping his fingers like a long, long time ago.
Jiang Xuanjin’s face was ugly: “Your Highness.”
“Ok?”
Seemingly finding it difficult to speak, Jiang Xuanjin stared at her hand.
Huaiyu looked upright: “What’s the matter? Is something wrong?”
Nothing is right! Didn’t you ask for a break? Don’t you want to get married with Lu Jingxing? Why are you so close to him suddenly?
Feeling she was molesting him, Jiang Xuanjin was very annoyed, her thin lips tightened, and her eyebrows closed.
“Is it fun?” he asked.
Huaiyu nodded with a smile, and clasped his hands tighter: “It’s fun.”
“Stop!” He whispered.
The horse outside gave a long hiss. Huaiyu leaned forward and immediately said “Oh”.
Jiang Xuanjin wanted to get out of the car, but when she heard the movement, she stiffened for a moment, she turned her head and asked, “What’s wrong?”
He hugged his belly, and Li Huaiyu said, “Uncomfortable.”
The car was driving by the river, and there was no shop in front of the village, Jiang Xuanjin gritted her teeth and ordered Chengxu: “Go back to the princess mansion!”
“Hey, no need.” Holding his hand, smiled with a smile, “Just keep walking forward.”
Jiang Xuanjin: “…”
Sitting back to his original position, he looked at her in silence for a long time, rubbing his eyebrows tiredly: “Can’t your Royal Highness let me go?”
Since he is destined not to be together, why bother to tease him?
Moved the hand that he held with him, Li Huaiyu sighed: “My lord, I am not strong at all. If you don’t like it, you can completely break away.”
Is it because he can’t break away, that’s why he came to play such a trick with him? Jiang Xuanjin smiled back with an annoyance: “No matter what, my Majesty’s request will be fulfilled.”
“Thank you!” Huai Yu was happy, but still did not let go of his hand.
What does this person think? Jiang Xuanjin didn’t understand.
In the family motto of the Jiang family, there is already a husband’s family but being close to others. According to the rules, they must be tattooed on the forehead and expelled from the house. He knows very well that such behavior violates ethics and rules, and it is the same crime if he does not break away.
But he didn’t move.
The smile on Li Huaiyu’s face got bigger and bigger, and a pair of apricot eyes looked at him like a mouse that had successfully stolen the fishy fish. One could not hold back it, and even laughed directly.
