When Xiao Jiu came back, it was already dark.

After he had bathed, he pushed open the door of the main courtyard.

He was afraid of waking Xia Ruan, so he didn't let the slave and maid come in to spread the word.

There was a faint octagonal palace lamp in the room, the light was not dazzling, and like his wife, it was soft and warm.

He walked towards the back room, where his wife was sleeping quietly on the bed, on a small stool not far away, and a few medical books were placed.

After Xiao Jiu approached, he picked up the medical book and read it for a while, before he sighed secretly.

These medical books are very difficult to find, and I don't know where my wife found them, and almost all of them are ways to cure deafness.

His wife has his sister in mind.

However, she did this in the hope that he would be happier.

Xiao Jiu remembered that in the past, his wife was a person who never meddled in things, but now she started to be busy for him. Actually, when he entered the palace this time, his wife was also for his good.

His wife secretly wooed Concubine Xun and the imperial doctor, and he had already learned the news from the people who were placed in the palace.

This person always thinks about him, and Xiao Jiu's feeling is warm.

Xiao Jiu put his hand on Xia Ruan's lips and wanted to touch his wife's cheek, but after half a sound, he withdrew his hand. He clearly saw the bruises under his wife's eyes, and for a moment his heart felt as if he had been pinched by something.

obviously wanted to protect her, but she was helping him quietly in private.

How can he marry such a person who is dedicated to him?

At this time, Xia Ruan slowly opened his eyes. Then he looked at his husband sitting on the bed in a daze, and smiled slightly: "You're back?" ”

"Well, I'm back." Xiao Jiu tucked the horns, "Did you make a noise?" ”

Xia Ruan's eyes gradually returned to clarity, and then shook his head: "How could it be...... I've slept too long today. Hou Ye must be tired, I have already asked the small kitchen to prepare snacks, Hou Ye taste a little? ”

So saying, she got up.

Xiao Jiu smiled lightly: "I've already used it, don't get up, it's cold at night." ”

After speaking. He stopped Xia Ruan from getting up.

Xia Ruan raised his eyes to look at him. Under the dim candlelight, he smiled like a warm breeze in March, and like an orchid blooming at the beginning of the year, which was very dazzling.

Xia Ruan couldn't help but stretch out his hand. Then caress his cheek. I didn't know what to say for a while.

Past. She knew that this person was dazzling, but now that she looked at it, she felt that this person was even more attractive to her than in her previous life. No wonder Princess Qinghe has always been obsessed. Princess Qinghe's side is bewitching and charming, like a peerless beauty. But even if she had seen such an ink, she still felt that her husband was the best-looking person in the world.

With an elegant and handsome face, there is always a faint smile on his lips, and he does everything calmly...... It's more like a fairy who came out of an ink painting.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jiu saw that his wife's expression was a little stupid, and his smile became stronger and stronger, "Is there anything on my face?" ”

Xia Ruan regained his senses and looked away a little embarrassedly: "There was a ...... just now Yes...... Mosquitoes, now gone...... Nope. ”

Xiao Jiu looked at his wife, even his ears were flushed with a faint flush, and he no longer exposed her flawed lie.

It's late autumn now, and where do the mosquitoes come from?

Xiao Jiu got on the bed but didn't rush to sleep, he just held the medical book that Xia Ruan had just put aside and read it.

Xia Ruan turned sideways and looked at her husband reclining, his long hair had been lowered and draped over his shoulders. Those eyes, which are often smiling, are still gentle at this time. seemed to notice that Xia Ruan was looking at him, so Xiao Jiu turned sideways and smiled lightly: "It's so noisy that you are resting?" ”

Xia Ruan put her hand on her chest, she felt that her fragile heart and liver jumped up again, and said in a low voice: "No, Master Hou, you have been tired recently, let's read these books when they are empty in the future." ”

The affairs of the eldest prince in the past few days have made Xiao Jiu no longer sleep well, if she hadn't returned today, Xiao Jiu would be afraid that she would have to deal with things thoroughly.

As soon as she returned home, she saw Xiao Yuanxi, the child was still well-behaved and sensible as before, and he made tea for her to drink. Although the taste of this tea was not very good, it still made Xia Ruan laugh happily, and it seemed that all the fatigue disappeared at that moment.

"Third sister-in-law...... Third Brother...... No...... Don't sleep. Xiao Yuanxi waited for the people in the room to retreat, and it took a lot of effort to finish the words in his mouth, "Tube...... You care...... Tube. ”

Xiao Yuanxi's little face finally had a bloody color, and at this time, he would also be coquettish to Xia Ruan, instead of not talking all day long.

Xia Ruan replied with a smile: "Okay." ”

She is Xiao Jiu's wife, and there are some things she should really care about more. She has been in the palace all these days, and although she can guess the situation outside, she can't fully understand the sense of urgency. She wasn't Xiao Jiu herself, so she couldn't experience that feeling.

The only thing she can do now is to let Xiao Jiu not be too tired, and secretly help her husband more.

The deal with An Guifei, she will not lose.

Xiao Jiu didn't speak, just got up and blew out the candle flame before slowly walking back.

When Xiao Jiu got on the bed, he stretched out his hand and took Xia Ruan in his arms, Xia Ruan smelled the familiar smell on Xiao Jiu's body, closed his eyes and didn't speak again.

At the moment, she felt at peace.

After a while, Xiao Jiu gently kissed Xia Ruan's moist lips: "Can't you sleep?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Ruan didn't expect that he would be discovered by Xiao Jiu if he pretended to be asleep, so he simply widened his eyes, "Master Hou is not sleepy?" ”

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but kiss Xia Ruan's forehead again: "Ah Ruan, I ......"

Xiao Jiu was halfway through speaking, and then he didn't know how to continue.

Xia Ruan also seemed to sense that something was wrong with Xiao Jiu, so he turned sideways, and then raised his head slightly to look at Xiao Jiu. Under the moonlight, Xiao Jiu's face was a little blurry, as if covered with a thin veil, but there was a hazy handsomeness.

"What are you thinking?" Xia Ruan was in good spirits at this time, and after she came back, she felt sleepy and slept for a while. After waking up at this moment, she didn't feel sleepy, so she tentatively said, "I don't know if I can share my worries for Master Hou." ”

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but chuckle, and then like a child, he buried his head in Xia Ruan's neck: "Naturally, you can." Nguyen, I'm going to be a father. ”

His voice was low, and the sound of whispering in her ear made her shudder.

She could clearly feel that her husband seemed to want to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, but he felt that there was another emotion spreading, and it seemed that there was still some sadness.

Xia Ruan stretched out her hand, and then hugged her husband tightly, listening to his heartbeat violently, like a drum: "Well, you're going to be a father, are you happy?" ”

After Xia Ruan finished speaking, he took Xiao Jiu's hand, and then put his hand on her slightly bulging lower abdomen, "He's here, in a few months, you will be able to see him." ”

Xiao Jiu raised his head, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Xiao Jiu had never dared to think of these things before.

He has always believed that to love someone is to make that person happy, whether it is to get or bless, as long as that person is happy, then he will have peace of mind. But later, gradually, he found that these thoughts were less and less satisfying to himself, he wanted his heart to be by his side, smiling at him and sad at him, he could be by her side every day, and finally the two of them grew old together.

Over the years, there has been no shortage of suitors around him, and most of the women in the boudoir are shy, but there are also people who send things to him. Including Princess Qinghe's hints, in fact, he understood them all.

But how many of these people are sincere?

If he wasn't the Marquis of Chang'an, if he didn't have such a look, would these people still be by his side?

No...... They won't look at him more,

When he had nothing, it was Xia Ruan who comforted him. When he was almost killed when he entered Beijing, it was Xia Ruan who sent someone to protect him.

At that time, he had nothing.

And Xia Ruan doesn't seem to expect anything in return.

Xiao Jiu thought that maybe it was at that time that he made up his mind to marry Xia Ruan.

He is not a gentleman, he can give his wife happiness, so why let outsiders come to her side.

In this life, there is a person who is familiar with you, a person who you love and she loves you, then you can grow old together.

After all, sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity, which is a happy thing.

"Ruan, I'm very happy." Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu hugged Xia Ruan tightly again, "It's good to have you here." ”

The heat of his speech made her ears itch slightly, and Xia Ruan couldn't help but want to push Xiao Jiu away a little: "Itchy." ”

Xiao Jiu didn't speak again, just kissed her forehead, ears, and cheeks with warm lips, as carefully as if he was kissing the rarest treasure in the world.

Xia Ruan finally couldn't help laughing, and then dodged Xiao Jiu's kiss: "If Master Hou doesn't sleep, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow morning." ”

"Then don't get up." Xiao Jiu said softly, and finally said a little unwillingly, "I'm sorry." ”

knew that Xiao Jiu was talking angrily, but Xia Ruan still felt very sweet.

She didn't want this night to be like this forever, and there would be no dawn. In this way, she and the people around her will no longer worry about those things.

Whether it was the eldest prince, the sixth prince and the fourth prince, or even the damn thought in Emperor Jianguang's heart, they all didn't think about it anymore. Since then, the world of two people has lived.

It's just that the dream was so beautiful that Xia Ruan didn't dare to think about it.

"Ah Ruan, in a few more years, give me a few more years." Xiao Jiu said in a low voice after half a sound, "In a few years......"

If there is really a heart and soul in this world, Xia Ruan thinks that it should be like this, what she thinks in her heart, Xiao Jiu actually knows it clearly.

"Okay." Xia Ruan replied.

Xiao Jiu smiled shallowly, and finally hugged his wife in his arms tightly, and pressed her cheeks together.

It seems that in this way, they can become one. (To be continued......)
