"Jingcong, you misunderstood!"

Hearing Xiao Jingcong answer first, Yan Zixi was also stunned, she actually knew that Xiao Jingcong would never agree to go on the expedition with him, so she didn't even want to mention it at all, what she wanted to say was another thing.

"Oh? What does Xi'er want to promise you for her husband?! Xiao Jingcong was also surprised, and the originally serious face showed a hint of doubt.

Yan Zixi smiled slightly and looked at Xiao Jingcong affectionately, "Jingcong, I only hope that you can come back safely and come back to me safely to see me...... Oh no, it should be said that I saw our mother and son......" Yan Zixi said as she gently touched her belly, reminding Xiao Jingcong not to forget their children.

Xiao Jingcong was stunned for a moment, then gently took Yan Zixi into his arms, and called out in his mouth, "Xi'er ......"

"Huh?"

"It's nothing, I just want to shout at you. My husband promises you that I will come back safe and sound, and come back to you and your children! ”

……

Since learning that the emperor had issued a holy decree to Xiao Jingcong to lead the troops to the battle, the entire general's mansion has been busy with a pot of porridge, and everyone looks like they are ready to fight.

Mrs. Xiao didn't know how many times she had discussed with the old prince Xiao, and asked to enter the palace to face the saint, wanting the emperor to withdraw this order, but the old prince refused. Old Prince Xiao used to be a general, so he naturally knew that obeying orders was their first job.

Therefore, Old Prince Xiao not only did not stop Xiao Jingcong, but fully supported all his decisions. Mrs. Xiao had no choice but to enter the palace to intercede with the queen mother, hoping that the queen mother could say a few kind words in front of the emperor and persuade her well, and also agreed to the marriage of Xiao Jingcong and Murong Qianqian, and thought that she would make an excuse, saying that she didn't want to see the county lord of Qianqian before she entered the door, so she would be separated from Xiao Jingcong, and the sky was separated.

However, the queen mother also has suffering, and now that the emperor is seriously ill, the queen mother can not mention a word in political affairs except for being able to take care of the emperor.

Since the founding of the country, Da Xiao has set up a rule, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the last time the queen mother casually mentioned a few words, she was heavily punished by the emperor, this time it is a major event to defend the country at the border, how dare the queen mother say more in front of the emperor?

Therefore, the queen mother could only comfort Mrs. Xiao and told her not to worry. also said that the marriage can be postponed later, and when Xiao Jingcong wins the battle and returns triumphantly, it is not too late to have a double happiness.

Mrs. Xiao was completely speechless at this moment, so she could only return to the mansion and pray for Xiao Jingcong day and night.

This morning, after Yan Zixi finished bathing and changing, she called the maid Xiaomei.

Xiaomei saw that Yan Zixi was dressed fresh and refined today, and couldn't help but ask, "Princess, are you going out?" ”

Yan Zixi nodded, and instructed Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, in two days, the prince will lead the troops to the northern frontier, and this princess wants to go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and ask for a peace charm for the prince." ”

"Oh, that's it! Princess, you really have a heart, well, the slave and maid will go and prepare. When Xiaomei heard this, she immediately went to prepare the carriage.

After Yan Zixi cleaned up, she was ready to go out.

When I walked to the gate of the mansion, I happened to meet Mrs. Xiao, who came back from the palace and touched her moldy head. When Mrs. Xiao saw that Yan Zixi was about to go out, she immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage and stopped her.

"Yan Zixi, where are you going? Cong'er is about to go on the expedition soon, and you are still so restless?! "Writing Zhai

"Madam, you misunderstood, the princess wanted to ......" Xiaomei brought the carriage, and just wanted to come over to explain to Mrs. Xiao, but was stopped by Yan Zixi.

Yan Zixi stepped forward, saluted Mrs. Xiao, and greeted respectfully in her mouth: "Concubine see mother!" ”

"Zixi, don't come with me like this, didn't you hear what this palace asked you? Tell me, where are you going? Could it be that you heard that my son was going to go on an expedition, and you wanted to escape from the general's mansion temporarily? Madame Xiao had a gloomy face and snorted coldly.

Yan Zixi had long been accustomed to Mrs. Xiao's face, and she didn't care about it, she still maintained a faint smile and explained to her: "Qiqi mother, concubine also knows that Jing Cong is about to go on an expedition soon, so she wants to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for him, and ask for a peace charm for him to come back." ”

After listening to Yan Zixi's explanation, Mrs. Xiao's gloomy expression finally eased a little, but her tone was still as cold as iron, "Hmph, you still have a little conscience." Okay, then the main palace will go with you! Mrs. Xiao made up her mind temporarily, and after learning about Yan Zixi's intentions, she also wanted to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for Xiao Jingcong.

Yan Zixi frowned slightly, and kindly comforted: "Mother, you just came back from the palace, and you are tired of traveling, so it is better to go back to the house and rest first." Later, when the concubine goes to the temple to burn incense, she will definitely pray for blessings in front of the Bodhisattva and the Buddha. ”

Yan Zixi was also kind when she said this, and she didn't want Mrs. Xiao to be too tired. Although there is also a little selfishness, that is, Yan Zixi doesn't want to be alone with Mrs. Xiao, every time she is alone with her, maybe something unpleasant will happen, Yan Zixi doesn't want to see herself and his mother quarrel before Xiao Jingcong leaves.

However, Mrs. Xiao completely misunderstood what Yan Zixi meant, and immediately put up that old face again, pointed at Yan Zixi and scolded, "Yan Zixi, what do you mean?" Who do you think you are? Do you really think you are the princess of the General's Mansion? How can you represent this palace? ”

"Mother, you misunderstood, Xi'er never meant this, I just ......"

Yan Zixi wanted to explain something, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Mrs. Xiao.

"Enough! Hurry up and lead the way for this palace, this distance is not enough to exhaust this palace! ”

"Yes...... Yes......" Yan Zixi nodded, seeing that persuasion was useless, she had to agree to Mrs. Xiao to go with her.

She got into the carriage and hurried in the direction of the temple with Xiaomei, while Mrs. Xiao's chariot followed them.

After walking for more than an hour, they finally came to the largest temple in the west of the city, the Golden Dragon Temple.

The incense in the Golden Dragon Temple is vigorous, and there is an endless stream of people who come to burn incense and pray for blessings on weekdays.

It was already noon when Yan Zixi and the others arrived, but there were still many people who came to burn incense. It was not easy for her to directly reveal her identity and drive people away, so she took incense and lined up there honestly.

But after waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Xiao waited impatiently, and kept urging Yan Zixi: "How long will it take to arrive at us?" ”

"Mother, this team will come to us after the queue."

"What, so many people, when have we been in line? Go, you go and tell the presiding officer of the temple that we are from the General's Palace, and let him come out to greet him quickly! Mrs. Xiao commanded.

Yan Zixi frowned slightly, and whispered in her mouth: "Mother, isn't this very good?" Jing Cong has always loved the people like a son, if he knew that we were bullying the people with our identity and engaging in these special things, he would definitely be angry......" Yan Zixi knew Xiao Jingcong's character, and cautiously persuaded Mrs. Xiao, not wanting to be scolded by Mrs. Xiao for a while.

"You damn girl, can't you do such a trivial thing? The palace just wants to go in early to burn incense and pray for blessings, what is this? ”
