Chapter 141: The Curtain
"That's why the Holy One is suddenly in a hurry to return to Beijing!." Xu Youshan said suddenly realized.
"Hmm." Xie Jing turned around, walked to the chair next to the soft couch and sat down, and said lightly: "Dongji is located in the Central Plains, open on all sides, although it is militarily unfavorable, but the economic conditions are very favorable, and our Great Zhou is the opposite, although there are certain barriers on all sides, but this also blocks the footsteps of traders from various countries, so that the Great Zhou's foreign transactions are not smooth." But if the marriage with Dongji is successful this time, it will also help them win, and even as long as they don't lose this war, then Dongji will support our Great Zhou's foreign trade routes, which is exactly what the Great Zhou needs. ”
Although the self-sufficient economic ability of the Great Zhou is not weak, in the world of this powerful country, one less short board is likely to make his empire stronger and more combative. Therefore, the mutually beneficial covenant between the Great Zhou and Dongji is almost beneficial and harmless, but it is such an important decision, and the courtiers originally thought that Emperor Zhou Hui, who was now in a daze, would not do anything foolish, but Emperor Zhou Hui made the most correct decision amazingly.
This has to be said to be unexpected by everyone.
"So, after we return to Beijing, the marriage between His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Princess Dongji is about to begin?"
The marriage between Xie Yan and Princess Dongji started on the day it was confirmed, and Da Zhou and Dongji were already in charge, which everyone knew, so it would not be too hasty to start holding it immediately at this time.
"If there are no accidents, this is the case." Xie Jing didn't know what came to mind. After finishing speaking, he looked at the small table on the collapsed side, and the few white flower bones in the mutton fat jade bottle were indifferent. The emotions in his eyes were also a little complicated, and Xu Youshan was a little confused, because the second prince Xie Yan should be an enemy for Xie Jing no matter what he said, after all, these two people named brothers don't know how many times they have sent people to assassinate each other. After Xu Youshan married Xie Jing, she knew more or less about this.
Therefore, Xie Yan is now married to Princess Dongji, and it is no longer possible for the throne of Da Zhou. Xie Jing should be happy, how can he have such an emotion now? This is a complex emotion that cannot be said to be joyful, nor can it be said to be sad.
But even if Xu Youshan was very strange, she didn't say anything. It's just when Xie Jing is silent. She also didn't speak quietly, let the time slip away so quietly, the last ray of sunlight on the horizon was also hidden behind the ridge of the mountain, and the night began to fall, but the room was still silent, Xie Jing's beautiful eyes, under the light of the faint light of the night pearl from the darkness, reflected a little light. Crystal clear.
It was a feast for the eyes of the people who were watching him from the sidelines, and Xu Youshan was not bored looking at Xie Jing at all. Although after the recent events in Maple Leaf Valley, the relationship between her and Xie Jing has changed because of the changes that have been discovered by anyone with a discerning eye, not only is it not as unfamiliar as before, but the relationship between the two is not the same.
It's just that the specific differences can't be said, but Wu Lin's and Liu's mother are very happy when they look at Xie Jing and Xu Youshan like this, and the two are often in Xie Jing and Xu Youshan's getting along, they will look at each other and smile tacitly, so that Chu Dai and Yuedai, who were following them, were confused, but when asked what Wu Lin and Liu's mother were laughing at, Wu Lin and Wu Lin would only laugh and say nothing.
But no matter what, anyway, the mode of getting along between Xie Jing and Xu Youshan has changed, and the atmosphere between the two has also changed, but despite this, between Xie Jing and Xu Youshan, some things have not changed.
Just like Xu Youshan still can't stare at Xie Jing directly, otherwise she will be embarrassed, for example, now, when Xu Youshan thought that Xie Jing was still thinking about things, she wouldn't find that she was staring at him, so she stuck her eyes on his side face without any scruples. But who knows, Xie Jing, who has been silent for a long time, has been silent from the red sky to the nightfall, Xie Jing, who will suddenly turn his head at this time, look at Xu Youshan, and just look at Xu Youshan's eyes.
"Ahem, it's so late, heh... Hehe......"
In addition to how sharp Xie Jing's narrow eyes are, Xu Youshan really knows how beautiful, so when Xie Jing suddenly turned his head to look at her, Xu Youshan immediately turned her eyes away after being surprised, and never surprised her, and then let her be a nymphomaniac to the point of embarrassment.
"What time is it?"
But Xie Jing didn't seem to notice Xu Youshan's embarrassment, and asked in a faint voice, which made Xu Youshan immediately look back and reply with a sigh of relief: "It's ...... now."
Xu Youshan's words stopped halfway through, because she just turned around, and saw Xie Jing's expression, her slender beautiful eyes were slightly curved, and the corners of her red lips were also slightly curved.

Since Emperor Zhou Hui decided to return to Beijing, of course everyone began to prepare non-stop, so three days later, everyone also hugged Emperor Zhou Hui's public opinion on time, left Xunshan, and drove back towards Shendu. Among them, Xie Jing and Xu Youshan and other members of the Chu Palace, of course, were also in the team, and compared with only one patient when they came, now when they left Xunshan, there was another patient in the convoy of the Chu Palace.
"Sleep, I'll call you when you get to the Divine Capital." Xie Jing pressed Xu Youshan to lie on the couch in the carriage, and after covering her with a thick brocade cover, he let her sleep with her eyes closed, but Xu Youshan couldn't rest assured that Xie Jing couldn't rest at all, how could she rest. But Xie Jing didn't give Xu Youshan a chance to speak at all, and directly let her lie down, which made Xu Youshan feel that Xie Jing was very considerate for the first time.
"Your Highness, I slept, what about you?" But if you can't rest assured, you can't rest assured, Xu Youshan still struggled to get up, looked at Xie Jing who was standing in front of her at this time and asked. But just now, Xu Youshan struggled to get up. was busy not letting Xie Jing stop her from talking, so she didn't care about anything, just waited until she had already sat up. found that the distance between her and Xie Jing was a little too close?
Xu Youshan looked at Xie Jing, who was very close to her, with round eyes, and Xie Jing didn't expect this little black charcoal to sit up suddenly, the pale face that was not as ruddy as before because she was sick would be so close to him at this time.
The two were silent for a while, but after the silence. Some sounds will be heard more clearly, for example, Xu Youshan can clearly hear her own heartbeat violently at this time, and Xie Jing's slight breathing. The sound of breathing, which was very light, was heard by Xu Youshan so clearly that it seemed to deafen her ears under the heartbeat of Xu Youshan's own heartbeat, which seemed to be deafening.
And just when Xu Youshan looked at Xie Jing in a daze, her little face suddenly became more and more red. Xie Jing looked at Xu Youshan's eyes. It was also suddenly dark and dreary, like the sea under the moonlight at night, as beautiful as it was frightening, and it was so deep that it made people feel so frightened, but the voice of agarwood suddenly remembered outside the carriage, so that Xu Youshan, who was still looking at Xie Jing stunned, suddenly came back to her senses, and then she was so embarrassed that she immediately lay down and hid back in the quilt.
"Your Highness. The saint suddenly ordered to stop and rest, do you and the princess want to come down and take a walk? ”
"No need."
"Yes."
Outside the carriage. Under Xie Jing's voice, which seemed to be more indifferent than usual, Agarwood retreated with a slight heavy eye, but she didn't retreat for long, and still worked tirelessly near the carriage, which made Wu Lin and Liu's mother, who were also waiting on the side, really frown. When the conversation in the carriage suddenly quieted down suddenly, of course Wu Lin and several people also found out, but when Wu Lin and Liu's mother glanced at each other meaningfully and laughed at each other, Agarwood suddenly appeared and went to the carriage to make a statement, which made Wu Lin and Liu's mother at that time have no time to stop it.
And Agarwood doesn't know whether her actions were intentional or unintentional, which made Wu Lin and Liu's mother dislike. But even so, because Agarwood is Xie Jing's personal maid and cronies, Wu Lin and they can't say anything, so at this time, they can only frown and look at Agarwood, but Agarwood ignores them, she just stands quietly not far from the carriage.
"Are you going out for a walk?" In the carriage, Xie Jing looked at the person curled up in the quilt for a while before he asked her funny.
"No, no." Xu Youshan stammered and replied.
"Okay, you can go to sleep." After a smile flashed in Xie Jing's eyes, he sat down to the side, and took out the books with rich dark patterns in the dark grid, read them one by one, and annotated something on them from time to time.
As for Xu Youshan on the other side, after covering herself in the quilt for a while, when she found that the car was quiet, she gently opened a crack to quietly observe what Xie Jing was doing. And after Xu Youshan found out that Xie Jing was reviewing the dark book sent by Jiang Chunjin, she was even more careful not to make a sound and disturb Xie Jing. It's just that after this quiet, Xu Youshan's body was still a little weak, and she began to feel sleepy after a while.
The convoy that Emperor Zhou Hui suddenly ordered to stop resting, and under Emperor Zhou Huidi's order, it began to march towards the Shendu again, and Xu Youshan also slowly fell asleep in this gentle carriage shaking and went to meet Zhou Gong.
But just after Xu Youshan fell asleep, Xie Jing, who was originally bowing his head to review, raised his eyes to look at Xu Youshan after chuckling. The wind blew the curtain of the window, and the sunlight shone on Xie Jing's face little by little, reflecting the faint smile when he looked at Xu Youshan, which amazed anyone's time and shocked someone's eyes.
Xunshan is not far from the Shendu, and Emperor Zhou Hui and his entourage only arrived in the Shendu when the sun was westward, and when everyone escorted Emperor Zhou Hui back to the palace, they all dispersed, and Xie Jing and Xu Youshan, of course, also left the palace with the people and returned to the palace of the king of Chu after a long absence.
"Welcome the prince and princess back home."
But just after Xie Jing and Xu Youshan returned to the palace, in front of the gate of the Chu Palace, they saw that under the leadership of Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun, a large group of people were already waiting for them there. It's just that contrary to Xu Youshan, who is not very adaptable, Xie Jing is not at all uncomfortable when facing the scene in front of him, and his face is still as indifferent as usual.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Everyone got up under Xie Jing's faint voice, and then followed behind Xie Jing and Xu Youshan, and went to Bowei Houyun, and after Xie Jing asked Wang Nishang and Zhao Mama about the recent affairs in the house, they served tea and sent them off. And when Mama Zhao saw that not only Xu Youshan, but even Xie Jing's face was tired, she didn't delay any longer, and immediately got up to say goodbye, wanting Xie Jing to have a good rest first.
And Mama Zhao was together, Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun, who had not moved at all, were stunned, so they had to get up one after another and say goodbye to Xie Jing and Xu Youshan. But since Mama Zhao got up and left, then Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun didn't move, wouldn't it seem that they were too eyeless?
Therefore, Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, and they couldn't find out more about the things on Xun Mountain, which made the two of them a little sunken as soon as they turned around.
But Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun were a little unhappy, but after watching the two of them leave, Xu Youshan was very happy, her body still needed a lot of rest, so how could she still have the spirit to deal with these two difficult people now? Therefore, Xie Jing's behavior of breaking Mama Zhao away first really made Xu Youshan more satisfied, but she was not stupid enough to reveal these emotions.
"Your Highness, you better rest first." Xu Youshan just suggested to Xie Jing after everyone else left.
"Well, you too." Xie Jing put down the tea bowl, and after gently raising his eyes to look at her, he walked to the ear room where the hot water had been prepared, and freshened up and bathed first.
So Xie Jing and Xu Youshan went to rest after finishing their freshening and bathing. But Xie Jing and Xu Youshan fell asleep as soon as they were tired, but the others didn't have such a leisurely mood. (To be continued.) )
