Chapter 274 Heavy Trust

The war in the southwest is gradual, the Qiang Zong Department was driven out of the Southwest Yi, Cheng Ke on the fold, and the middle of the southwest tribes of the folds, the leaders of the southwest tribes sued the guilt, crying about the deep humiliation of the Qiang Sect, now there are no generals, and the Qiang Zong Department has not hurt the fundamentals, in order to prevent the imperial court soldiers and horses from retreating, the Qiang Zong Department came to retaliate, begging the emperor to send troops to garrison the Southwest Yi, the emperor immediately allowed the garrison, and temporarily left the soldiers and horses of the North Third Road in the Southwest Yi to garrison.

The old lady carried the folds of the Southwest Yi and pouted,

"What kind of trick is this? The men and women of the southwestern regions can walk and hold a knife, and if they can hold a knife, they can fight, and they are not dead, what does it mean that there are no soldiers and generals? ”

Li Xiaonuan looked at the old lady and asked worriedly:

"Will the emperor also think of this?"

"What are you afraid of! The emperor was afraid that he had long thought about garrisoning the southwest Yi, and those two boys wanted to take advantage of the fire and use the southwest Yi to contain the troops of the North Third Road, and the North Third Road must also want to use this to garrison the southwest Yi, and he would take the throne in the future, so he didn't have to worry about those two boys making trouble in the south, they really had their own plans!"

Li Xiaonuan coughed lightly,

"Ancestor, you should be taboo when you speak."

"Let's talk to each other, what else is there to taboo?"

"Ancestor, then you say, who has a better chance of winning?"

"Your Majesty."

"I'm not asking this, I'm asking King Jing and King Cheng."

The old lady slanted at Li Xiaonuan, stretched out her hand and patted Li Xiaonuan's head,

"Is this still to be asked? Small scenes, of course! That's our family, we can't trust ourselves, can others trust you? ”

Li Xiaonuan laughed and nodded again and again,

"The ancestor is so right, we have to trust ourselves first."

Within a few days, Cheng Ke's letter was sent into the house, he rushed back to the capital at the end of November, the princess received the letter, and began to count the days, counting more and more slowly, Li Xiaonuan was annoyed by her and simply took care of the family affairs every day, so she used the excuse of the old lady to ask her to go over to talk, and ran to Ruizitang every day to hide in Qingjing.

The days of hope passed slowly and very quickly, and it was the end of November in a blink of an eye, the day before Cheng Ke was going back to the capital, from the afternoon, the princess commanded all the housekeepers to prepare this dim sum and that kind of dish, and the kitchen and dim sum room were busy.

Early the next morning, the prince took his entourage to the military department to drink tea, Cheng Ke came back, went to the palace to hand over the messenger, and the next place was to go to the military department to return the soldiers to the survey.

Early in the morning, the family of the palace reported Cheng Ke's itinerary back and forth, thirty miles outside the city, ten miles outside the city, almost to the city gate, entered the city gate, went to the palace to meet ......

Li Xiaonuan waited in the main courtyard, accompanied by the anxious princess to listen to the transmission every two quarters of an hour, full of helplessness, no matter how it was transmitted, she would not be able to return home until the beginning of the afternoon, that is, she would not pass the communication, and she would return home after the beginning of the afternoon.

Li Xiaonuan made another cup of tea for the anxious princess, and talked to her about trivial matters related to Cheng Ke, distracting her restless anxiety.

Until two o'clock in the afternoon, the little girl outside spread a series of rumors, Cheng Ke entered the main courtyard, the princess heard the rumor, panicked and got out of the bed, rushed out of the door, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, helped her run out of the main house door, along the hand-copying verandah, all the way out of the hurry.

Cheng Ke was wearing a silver and blue cloak, strode over energetically, looking at the two people who rushed over, his face was full of joy.

The princess grabbed Cheng Ke and almost threw herself into his arms, her eyes were firmly fixed on her son, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry on her face, with tears in her eyes, she couldn't say a word.

"Look at you, like this again, I'm not coming back, it's cold outside, I'll help you into the house to talk."

Cheng Ke looked at his happy mother a little helplessly, and together with Li Xiaonuan, helped the princess to walk to the main house, Cheng Ke and Li Xiaonuan waited for the princess to sit on the couch, the princess grabbed Cheng Ke and didn't let go, Cheng Ke looked at Li Xiaonuan, sat down next to the princess, while dodging the princess's hand touching here and pulling there, while taking the tea handed by Li Xiaonuan, taking the opportunity to pull out his hand, and put a piece of snack in his mouth.

The princess only had Cheng Ke in her eyes, and when she saw Cheng Ke picking up a piece of snack, she immediately commanded Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan commanded all the girls, and in a moment she set up a table full of snacks and a few snacks, Cheng Ke frowned, took another piece and ate it, and waved his hand and ordered them to be accepted.

The princess pulled Cheng Ke and asked with concern, 'The tide in the south, is the bedding baked every day?' ''Have you ever been hurt?'' When you're injured, you don't say, ''How can you stand it on such a hot day in the south?'' Have you ever been sick? ''Look at how thin you are, the cook you went with is not good, you should also write a letter'......

Li Xiaonuan stood beside him with his hands down, while pursing his lips and smiling and listening to the princess's chatter and concern, while carefully looking at Cheng Ke, he was black and lost a lot of weight, but after a year of hard work, he looked like he was several years older, and his expression was much calmer and more introverted.

Li Xiaonuan walked away, looked at Cheng Ke pressing his temperament, replied to the princess's words, tried to divert the topic, and talked with the princess for a while, then stood up, stretched his waist exaggeratedly, yawned, and only said that he was tired on the road, so he wanted to go back and sleep well.

"Hurry! You also go back, if you really don't want to eat, you also have to drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge! You can't sleep on an empty stomach, you can't sleep deeply, and you can't hurt your body, if it's cold today, watch him cover the quilt, don't freeze, Xiao Ke loves to kick the quilt......"

Cheng Ke snorted at these words, raised his feet and walked out, Li Xiaonuan smiled all over his face, hung his hands, and listened carefully to the princess's instructions, the princess commanded Li Xiaonuan, but her eyes were only staring at her son, seeing that he had gone out, she hurriedly waved her hand to urge Li Xiaonuan,

"You should hurry up, be careful, go quickly."

Li Xiaonuan bent her knees and withdrew, Cheng Ke was standing at the corner of the verandah waiting for her with his hands behind his back, and when he saw her come out, he stretched out his hand and pulled her, strode out of the yard, got into the sedan chair, and urged his mother-in-law to walk all the way back to Qinglian Courtyard.

The two entered the courtyard, Cheng Ke stretched out his hand to grab Li Xiaonuan, lowered his head to her ear, and whispered with great emotion:

"But if I come back, if I don't come back, I won't be able to live."

Li Xiaonuan raised his head, looked at him with a smile on his face, and nodded heavily:

"Me too!"

Cheng Ke burst out laughing, stretched out his hand to hold Li Xiaonuan, wrapped her in his cloak, and walked along the hand-copying verandah, while looking down at her and talking,

"Xiao Nuan, tell me, this year, I was not at home, what have you done every day? The letter you wrote to me was too short to explain anything......"

"I write three pages at a time! Where is it short? Which one doesn't make it clear? Tell me, I'll tell you now. ”

"You're going to write thirty pages, three pages is too short! I'll finish reading it in a while, how can the ancestor be willing to come out? How did you coax the old ancestor out? If it weren't for the guidance of my ancestors, I'm afraid that this battle would have to be fought for another month or two, and it would really be hard for me, Xiao Nuan, do you think I don't have it? ”

Cheng Ke said and digressed again, Li Xiaonuan didn't entangle with him about what he was going to say, just followed his digression, followed the gossip, and the two chirped and talked all the way into the main house.

Zhu Ye had already led people to set up the meal, and Li Xiaonuan pushed Cheng Ke straight to the clean room.

"You're on a hurry and haven't taken a shower for a few days? People stink!"

"I can't remember how many days, you wash with me, you just watch me wash from the side."

Cheng Ke dragged Li Xiaonuan and refused to let go, and pulled her all the way into the clean room, Zhu Ye followed behind, and quietly waved his hand to signal the girls and mothers-in-law waiting in the clean room to retreat.

Cheng Ke soaked comfortably in the big wooden barrel, tilted his head, washed his hair by Li Xiaonuan, squinted his eyes and sighed:

"It's better to be at home."

Li Xiaonuan pursed his lips and smiled, washed Cheng Ke's hair with water, took a comb and passed through his hair, Cheng Ke closed his eyes, turned his hand and groped to catch Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly jumped back, pulled Cheng Ke's hair and commanded:

"Okay, I've changed the water a few times, you should also wash it and hurry out to eat."

Cheng Ke jumped out of the barrel, didn't call anyone, grabbed a big cotton handkerchief, wiped his body indiscriminately, Li Xiaonuan stepped forward to take the handkerchief, carefully dried him, took the clothes and handed them to him, Cheng Ke threw the other clothes aside, only carried a long shirt and draped it on his body, reached out to pick up Li Xiaonuan, and strode into the inner room,

"I don't want anything, I just miss you, Xiao Nuan......"

Zhu Ye quietly brought the door, took the girl and the woman to retreat outside, guarded the table full of food, and withdrew when it was cold, and let people send hot ones, and then withdrew them, and sent them up again......

It wasn't until more than half of the afternoon that Cheng Ke lazily raised his voice and took a bath again, and the two of them came out to eat the meal that I don't know how many times it was delivered.

Li Xiaonuan's face was flushed, she changed into a light foundation silk jacket, and a long-gauze skirt came out, Cheng Ke raised his hands behind his head to support his head, leaned lazily on the pillow on the couch, watched her come in with a smile, stretched his arms and asked:

"You're hungry too, aren't you? I'm just going to feel hungry!"

Li Xiaonuan sat on the couch, took the Nanmu chopsticks and handed them to Cheng Ke, took the bowl of soup and drank it slowly, while looking at Cheng Ke who was eating fast, and when he finished eating, he said with a smile:

"If you don't have anything else to do, let's go to Rui Zitang to ask the ancestor for peace?"

Cheng Ke agreed again and again, jumped off, reached out and picked up Li Xiaonuan's cloak from the cicada wing's hand and put it on for her, put on the cloak himself, hugged Li Xiaonuan, and often went to Ruizitang all the way.

Mama Bai greeted the door of the hospital and whispered to Li Xiaonuan:

"How did you come? It's been a long wait!"

Li Xiaonuan's eyes wandered and smiled, and he didn't answer, the reason for coming tonight, I can't say, Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows in surprise, and the breath in Rui Zitang seemed to have returned to the world all of a sudden.
