Chapter 416: Treat it like a parent
In fact, on the day of the wedding, seeing that Su Qi and Bai Chu were back, but they didn't see the red shadow, Xiao Jinxuan had a faint bad premonition in her heart.
Weakly sat back on the chaise longue, thinking that Chi Ling had died to save himself.
Now that Chiying has also ended up in a different place for Zhou Xianyu, Xiao Jinxuan can't help but close her eyes, feeling that she really owes too much to this couple.
And at this moment, the baby's cry suddenly came from the courtyard, and waited until Zhu Xin's child holding Chi Ling walked in.
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but have a sour nose, and felt that the most unbearable thing was this child who was born in the world, but had already become an orphan.
Reaching out and holding the child from Zhuxin into his arms, it is really strange to say, the little baby who is still crying incessantly, will be quiet as soon as it reaches Xiao Jinxuan's hand.
and bit his fingers and giggled at Xiao Jinxuan.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Xin, who had always regarded Chi Ling as his sister, couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said with a forced smile:
"Look, Miss, this kid is really close to you. Although it has no relatives now, as long as you are there, I think it will not be too difficult for Chi Ling to feel at ease under the Nine Springs. ”
Because Xiao Jinxuan had also raised a child in her previous life, she hugged the child carefully quite easily, and she couldn't help but murmur:
"Zhuxin, what you said is right, this child's parents died for me and Xianyu, so in the future, he will be like my own child. Thinking about Chi Ling's marriage from the Shuai Mansion, she said when she came to say goodbye to me that she wanted to live a comfortable and secluded life from now on. ”
Having said this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but look down at the little baby boy in her arms again, and then after a little silence, she continued:
"It's been a while since this child was born, and I can't always have a name. What the real names of the Red Spirit and the Red Shadow were, they had never mentioned. Therefore, this child will take my surname and name Xiao Yat in the future, hoping that his life will be comfortable and worry-free, and go to live a life that his parents yearn for, but did not get after all. ”
This child has always been the most able to eat and sleep, and when I saw the little baby who was smiling just now, he would actually fall asleep with snot foaming.
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but motioned to Zhuxin to take the child back to the nurse to take care of it, then looked at Su Qi and Bai Chu, and continued to ask:
"Then what about later, since you also thought that it was Xianyu who was cut off, how did he finally join the other party safely, why didn't he have the news of his death, and didn't pass it back to Jingshi as soon as possible."
If he could know that Zhou Xianyu was not killed in battle, why did Xiao Jinxuan make such a decision in order to take revenge, and marry into the Rui Wang's Mansion with a heart like ashes.
Originally, all these mistakes could have been avoided, but now it's still a little late to talk about this.
As soon as he heard this, Su Qi naturally didn't dare to delay, and immediately told him what had happened.
"If you go back to your master, because my subordinates were sent to Yangzhou before, and after I joined Bai Chu and the others there, I immediately rushed to Yeying Country. Originally, I thought that even if His Royal Highness died, this corpse would definitely be taken back for the master and you. But just when we had all the deployments and were ready to start, Xiao Yunyan, the third prince of Beirong Kingdom, suddenly appeared. Not only did he stop us, but he also informed him that His Royal Highness had been rescued by him and placed in a tent in the barracks. ”
Having said this, Su Qi's voice paused, then glanced at Xiao Jinxuan first, and then continued with a hesitant bowed head:
"Although it is said that Beirong and my Great Zhou are hostile, because of the investigation of the mystery of the master's life experience, the subordinates have been trusted by the master to inform their subordinates of all the relationship between themselves and Beirong. Therefore, I thought that Xiao Yunyan was thinking about love, and maybe what he said was also worth believing. Therefore, he ventured deep into the Beirong military tent, and the other party did not lie, and His Royal Highness was really there to heal his wounds. ”
Because in the past few months, Xiao Jinxuan has been worried about Zhou Xianyu.
What she was thinking about was how to bother with bargaining chips for the Xue family, as well as the Bai family of the Guogong Mansion, who was considered an accomplice, and the Beirong royal family and her life experience, she even forgot a little over time.
After all, they are blood relatives, thinking of the last time Xiao Yunyan left Da Zhou, the two of them recognized each other, and they were brothers and sisters.
Now I heard that the other party was willing to come to the rescue, and Zhou Xianyu had a hostile relationship on the battlefield.
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, knowing that Xiao Yunyan would do this, most likely because of her.
However, frowning slightly, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but be puzzled and said:
"This time, Beirong sent troops, and he was willing to rescue Xianyu, so presumably the other party was definitely not here for my Great Zhou. It is strange to say this, so why did they come to the city? ”
Seeing that Su Qi had been talking for a long time, although Bai Chu and the other party were always bickering with each other on weekdays, the relationship was also extremely good.
Therefore, he took a few steps forward and explained on behalf of Su Qi:
"In fact, the county lord sent the military report back to Beijing, and it usually takes more than a month, but the battle situation is changing. In fact, the war report said that Beirong was coming, but in fact, they just found that Yeying had made changes with many small surrounding countries. I am afraid that our Great Zhou and the United Nations will be unfavorable to them, so they sent troops to station, which is just a gesture of deterrence and defense. And thanks to the fact that there are spies patrolling around Beirong ****, they found the seriously injured and unconscious prince nearby, and brought the other party back to the barracks. ”
As for the next thing, it is naturally easy to explain clearly, and immediately Su Qi and Bai Chu will control the city gates along the road tightly.
How he and others hid their identities and couldn't pass on the news back, they all told me everything.
It wasn't until after listening to Su Qi and others that Xiao Jinxuan found that the other party and his party could come back, which was really quite dangerous and extremely difficult.
After answering this question, seeing that it was also noon, I thought that Su Qi and the others were still injured.
Immediately, she understood everything she wanted to know, so Xiao Jinxuan asked them to go down and rest.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who was also very sleepy and weak, although she hadn't eaten all day, she didn't have any appetite, and finally lay down on the soft collapse and fell asleep again unconsciously.
I don't know how long it took, but when Xiao Jinxuan woke up again, the smell of appetizing vegetables overflowed the tip of her nose.
Puzzled, she sat up, because she had always asked Zhuxin to prepare when she wanted to eat, and the other party had served her for so long, and she had never made a mistake in this regard.
And after seeing clearly that there was indeed a table of dishes in the house, Xiao Jinxuan also saw clearly that Zhou Xianrui had entered the room at some point, holding a book in his hand, sitting on a chair and watching quietly.
It was dark outside, but although the vision inside the house was very dim, there was still no palm light.
When Luo Skirt was about to be tidied up, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but say suspiciously:
"When did you come to me, Lord Wang, I seem to have slept a little heavily this night, and I don't even know at all. But it's dark in this room, how can you look at the public in the dark, so it's very eye-wrenching, or hurry up and light the candle. ”
As soon as he heard Xiao Jinxuan's voice, he immediately sat by the window and looked at Zhou Xianrui through the faint light outside.
After rubbing his sour and swollen eyes, he stood up with a smile and said:
"It's been about an hour since I came, and seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I am afraid that the palm lamp will disturb you. Anyway, it's not completely dark outside, and this king is not in the way by the light. ”
Although Xiao Jinxuan is quite familiar with Zhou Xianrui on weekdays, there is not much contact in normal life.
Therefore, seeing that Zhou Xianrui, who has always been serious and upright, would rather not hold the lamp in order to accommodate her.
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the other party was indeed a delicate person, but somehow, she suddenly remembered Su Qin again, the princess concubine who was three points similar to her appearance and demeanor.
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan sitting on the ** couch, she was a little stunned.
Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but smile again, and after ordering his subordinates to come in and take charge of the lamp, he sat down at the dinner table.
"This king heard Zhuxin say, Jinxuan, you haven't eaten a drop of water for another day. When will your body be well raised, I will have people warm them under these dishes with boiling water, so that you can wake up and have a hot and delicious meal. Hurry up, you need to change the boiling water again. ”
Being said by Zhou Xianrui, coupled with the tempting aroma of the food, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but feel a little hungry.
So nodding, she cleaned her face and hands slightly, and sat down at the dinner table.
Zhou Xianrui, who was holding chopsticks, looked at Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting opposite him with a gentle expression, and the warm feeling in the house at this moment was something he, who already had a few concubines, had never experienced.
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's rather slender body, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but have a trace of pity on his face.
Then he kept handing all kinds of dishes to the other party's bowl. While intimately and delicately preparing dishes for Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but say in a low voice:
"This king heard that the child of Chiling, you should raise it by your side and adopt it as a righteous son, and name it Xiao Yi. But Jinxuan, you are a woman, and you have just entered the palace, and you suddenly leave a child by your side, I am afraid that the criticism of you outside will spread all over the sky again. ”
Seeing that the rice was almost invisible to the accumulation of various dishes in her bowl, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but smile helplessly, and persuaded Zhou Xianrui to hurry up after eating, and then said calmly:
"Others can think whatever they want, after all, I owe Chi Ling too much, and I wouldn't be alive without her now. Therefore, her child is like my own child, as for the criticism of others, anyway, I am now called a witch, and what else I can't bear. ”
Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was innocently splashed with so much dirty water, this would still be so breezy and unaffected.
While Zhou Xianrui secretly sighed that the other party was indeed a strange woman, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but propose:
"Jinxuan, this kid is by your side, I'm afraid that even if his surname is Xiao, it will be difficult to enter the genealogy of the Shuai Mansion. If you agree, the king will openly say that this child is my own son who has been left behind. After his surname Xiao changed to Zhou, I included him in the list of royal relatives. And continue to keep the child by your side to raise, you think you are quite satisfied with this king's opinion. ”
