If it had always been a peaceful and prosperous era, Chunning felt that he would probably be the fate of the lonely old man in the Ten Princes' Mansion for a lifetime. And now when encountering such a troubled world, it is also sad and bitter, and the future life seems to have become unknown with the turmoil of the world. Fleeing from Beijing, although she still looks very calm, she actually feels a huge hesitation in her heart. Then as Wang Xiao came back, everyone suddenly seemed to have a backbone.

But on the other hand, Chunning is actually not very familiar with Wang Xiao. After getting along for a month, I also experienced some things, most of the time the two of them were eating, drinking, and shopping, although she also knew that her colt might be powerful, but the more intuitive feeling was that he was a little childish and playful, and liked to tease himself with novel things, "You haven't eaten this either, have you?" "Like this, I like to see myself a little embarrassed.

Sometimes Chun Ning also wonders, why can he do things so calmly and casually and laughing? It doesn't look like it's so much effort.

She was actually a little curious about him.

So now, Wang Xiao fell asleep in the bathtub, and she stood there for the first time and looked at him a few times.

At this time, it was still afternoon, and the room was filled with the faint light that came in from the window paper, Wang Xiao leaned his head up, his face was a little tired, he frowned, the bridge of his nose was straight, his mouth was slightly open, obviously he fell asleep in the middle of speaking, his chin outlined the resolute lines that were no longer as soft as before, and his neck was a scar, which was red from hot water.

Then, there were many scars on his body, round arrow holes, long knife marks, scattered and densely covered......

During the time of marriage, once when he was changing clothes, Chunning accidentally glanced at him, at that time he was going to be thinner, but there were no these scars.

Thinking of this, imagining the experience of his trip to Liaodong, she suddenly felt a shudder spread from her fingertips to her heart.

What is Wang Xiao doing all this for? She had never seen any ambition in his eyes, and she knew that he was the kind of person who would rather not be an official for the rest of his life just to get a little more sleep and not go to the early dynasty.

She remembered the wedding night, and she asked him, "Will you help us?" Wang Xiao did not hesitate and responded with a "yes".

After that, he didn't talk about this topic again, and everything he did was easy, but in fact...... It's not easy behind the scenes.

Chunning sniffed and took another step forward.

The feet fell, very light, and the palace skirt dragged forward on the ground for a while.

Her gaze went down his chest, glanced into the water, her face turned red, and she turned her head nervously, a little panicked.

What now?

If you fall asleep in the water, you will definitely get sick when the water is cold for a while...... Then you have to help it out.

She closed her eyes, took two more steps, and glanced cautiously, her face reddening even more. Then he stretched out his hand and slowly touched Wang Xiao's arm, trying to pull him up.

She was a little panicked the moment she touched it, and remembered the time when she scratched Qin Xiaozhu's back.

"It's my husband."

Cheer yourself up like this and give yourself a hard boost.

It's heavy.

The king in the barrel didn't move a single moment. Obviously, with her strength, it was impossible to lift up.

I was going to carry him to bed...... But she didn't expect it to be so heavy.

Chunning closed his eyes, and he didn't know what to do.

Call Gantang in? That girl doesn't have much strength...... That called Xiao Zhu over? It doesn't feel right...... Tell Ying'er to come, she has been serving him, or find two healthy women to come and move him out...... But, others will see it......

Thinking of this, Chunning opened his eyes again, thinking about how to cover it first.

Glancing into the water, her face was burning hot, and she was about to close her eyes, but she felt a gaze sweep towards her.

As soon as she looked away, she saw that Wang Xiao had opened her eyes and was looking at her with some doubts......

~~

Watching the palace skirt fly out of the back of the screen, Wang Xiaowei felt a little funny.

- Actually peeking at himself taking a shower, not like words.

He got up, wiped his body and got dressed, the thin and slippery feeling on his arms made his heart itch. So after coming out, he couldn't help but glance at Chunning's hands, and saw that the pair of plain hands were really good-looking, no wonder they were so comfortable to touch......

Chunning finally managed to regain his expression, and put on his usual solemn style again, and when he saw it, his face couldn't help but blush a little.

"It's good to wake up, I'm still worried that you're catching a cold." Forced to say.

Wang Xiao was amused in her heart, but she didn't continue to embarrass her, and said while wiping her hair: "By the way, I took my father back, counting the time, I should go to Laizhou." He's not in good spirits......"

The tone is like a small family talking about the elders, only talking about the health of the old people and so on, as if they didn't think about the power of the throne.

In fact, this matter has been spread from Gao Chengyi's mouth last night, and it is already known here. At this time, Chunning keenly found from Wang Xiao's tone that Wang Xiao was closer to her father than her.

She and Zhou Yan have complicated feelings for Emperor Yanguang, they haven't met a few times since they were children, and each time they meet, they only answer with a few polite words. If it is said that filial piety should be required, it is only a requirement of etiquette, not really how much affection there is between father and son. Nowadays, they are more wary of each other.

Therefore, when he was in Cangzhou City, Wang Zhen made the decision to let this side break through separately from Emperor Yanguang, although Chunning and Zhou Yan did not know in advance, they did not blame Wang Zhen for this afterwards. "There is no father and son in the heavenly family" This is something they have long accepted in their superficial and subtle ways, and if Emperor Yanguang leaves them, they will also take it for granted.

But Wang Xiao is a little different, he really got along with Emperor Yanguang. Of course, there are and most of these calculations, but there are also situations where people get along like ordinary people by putting aside current affairs. The "father" in Wang Xiao's mouth actually has very little reverence for imperial power, and more of it means "old father-in-law".

Therefore, listening to him babbling about things like "The old man's sleep is very problematic, and he needs to take care of it when he goes back", Chunning was a little at a loss for answers.

During this time, she talked with Empress Xu and Zhou Yan about Emperor Yanguang, all about when he would abdicate and Zhou Yan ascend the throne, how to prevent him from seizing power in the future, and how to deal with his henchmen......

When Chunning thought of this, he felt that he was really vicious, and his eyes were a little red again.

"Okay, stop crying. There are so many people crying today. Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and wiped it between her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's going to be fine." ”

Chunning raised his head and looked at the smile of the person in front of him, and was in a trance for a while.

He's still relaxed.

If she hadn't seen the injuries on his body, she would have thought that he was really lifting weights......

The next moment, something was stuffed into her mouth, and she was stunned, and the whole person froze.

"You eat."

She bit it, sweet, and I don't know what it was.

"Ejiao cake, I brought it from Jinan, haven't you eaten it?"

Again. Chun Ning felt slightly annoyed, but ...... It's pretty tasty.

Wang Xiao let out a long yawn, wiped his hair vigorously, and said to himself: "I'm so sleepy, long hair is so annoying......

As he spoke, he lay down on the couch and lost his voice.

Chunning looked at him and saw him lying there, the towel in his hand had not been put down and he was asleep again.

She didn't call the palace people in, she took off his shoes herself, took a towel to wipe his hair, then took off her palace skirt and lay down beside him, and covered both of them with a quilt.

When she did this, she felt that everything was natural, and she was originally a couple who were right, so she didn't feel anything shy.

The afternoon sun reflected on the paper window, and everything seemed to soften, as if it had returned to the time when they first got married, and all the war had not yet happened......

-------------------------------------

Next, Texas City changed.

This famous canal city was originally a prosperous town in the Chu Dynasty, but with the Tang Zhongyuan Eastern Expedition and the entry of Jiannu, the Cao Yun gradually stopped, and Dezhou City was a little depressed some time ago.

A large number of people fled to Jiangnan, and there were also people from the north who fled to Texas, and the demographic structure changed a lot because of the war. At the same time, a small group of bandits and rogues took the opportunity to plunder, and the uncontrolled officers and soldiers began to plunder. People who have lost their livelihoods and thieves from other places have also made law and order worse, and it is a scene of chaos.

The people in the city originally thought that the war between the Chu and Rui dynasties on the border of Texas would make the world even more chaotic. But as King Qi entered Texas, what happened next seemed to be a little different from what they expected.

The campaign continued, but Texas City was ...... in a strange way Start building order.

His Royal Highness the King of Qi officially took up the state of Dezhou and wanted to build the palace of the king of Qi in the south of the city.

This news is a little surprising, the Chu Dynasty has reached this point, and it is either too stupid or too arrogant to repair the palace in Texas. When the more than 200,000 Swiss troops besieged outside the city do not exist?

But the Marquis of Huaiyuan, who had killed the slave chieftain, had returned and was in the city. Looking at it this way, it is a bit of a sense of seeing the army of King Wu Yan as nothing, which makes people feel that the situation needs to be stabilized......

Ordinary people are not concerned about these, but about the wages of repairing the palace.

The location of the palace is in a large sea in the south of the city, and there are many such seas in Dezhou City, and if you want to build the palace, you have to fill in these seas, which is extremely labor-intensive. This time, instead of requisitioning civilian labor, prisoners of war and the families of officials who surrendered to the thieves were used, and because this number was not enough, the king of Qi ordered to 'hire' the people to build it, and to do it for a day, two liters of rice or a hundred yuan.

Because of this good salary, the edict was issued, and the whole city was boiling.

What is even more boiling is not only the construction of the palace, but also a large number of royal relatives, officials, and military officers in the king of Qi and his entourage. In addition, the city walls had to be maintained, the barracks had to be built, and in short, there were too many opportunities to earn wages because of the construction of a large number of buildings.

On the first day of the edict, the government organized people to start reclamation and repair the city wall.

At the same time, the king of Qi also issued an order to let the 'Dezhou Caoyun Commercial Bank' as the imperial merchant and be responsible for 'undertaking' all the 'projects' in Dezhou City.

Many people don't understand what this 'Texas Caoyun Commercial Bank' is, and only later do they understand that this is the Texas Gang......

But some people also thought that when the sea was filled, what would happen if the wood, stone, and soil in Dezhou City were not enough, and the rebels would still be surrounded outside the city.

Then there was a humanitarian: "When the time comes, the rebels will definitely be beaten away." ”

"That's it, the Marquis of Huaiyuan and the Iron Cavalry of Guanning who defeated Jiannu are both in the city, what do you care!"

The people who spread the news shouted loudly, and when the confidence of the surrounding group of people increased, they moved on to the next place to cheer up the people.

At the same time as the construction was carried out, the security of Texas City was also rapidly improved.

Jinyiwei took over the city, carried out a major purge of thieves, robbers, and fine works, and sifted the city of Texas over and over again in a very short time.

After the people of Texas got their wages and rice grain, filled their stomachs, and felt the order in the city, the scale in their hearts shifted to the Chu Dynasty again.

"After all, the Chu Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the world!"

Although it is for very practical reasons, it is still very righteous and awe-inspiring when it comes out.
