Yan Zixi looked at Xiao Jingcong with a worried face, and asked in her mouth.

After all, the emperor had already issued an order before, this was a punishment for Xiao Jingcong, if Xiao Jingcong didn't listen, it would be a blatant disobedience, and it would be a big deal to lose his head......

No, it is likely to implicate the entire Zhenguo General's Mansion!

As Xiao Jingcong's wife, his virtuous helper, Yan Zixi naturally wants to remind him.

Why doesn't Xiao Jingcong know? But Xiao Yan finally came to the capital, if he didn't bring the imperial order back this time, let the border soldiers prepare as soon as possible, I am afraid that he will be served and I don't know why.

Therefore, even if he risks killing his head, Xiao Jingcong has to try hard.

"Xi'er, I understand what you mean, this is now at a critical juncture, if the husband does not go to the court tomorrow, I am worried that General Xiao Yan will be alone and difficult to speak, and the ministers above the government and the opposition will be in charge, so that they will close the emperor's ears and eyes, I am afraid that there is a crisis of overthrowing the country, so I have to go for the husband!"

Hearing Xiao Jingcong's generous statement, Yan Zixi finally came to her senses. She knew that no matter how she persuaded her, Xiao Jingcong would not give up, and she could only obey his wishes and pray that the emperor would be able to open up tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi raised her head and said to Xiao Jingcong: "Okay, Jingcong, I won't bother, don't toss too late, you know?" ”

"Well, my husband understands, Xi'er has a heart, you go back to the room to rest first!" Xiao Jingcong lowered his head again, picked up the pen and continued to write the folds.

Seeing Xiao Jingcong's hard-working appearance, Yan Zixi couldn't bear to continue looking at it anymore, and after explaining a few more words, she turned around and walked out.

After leaving the study, Yan Zixi let out a long sigh and walked towards her bedroom step by step.

Walking on the road, Yan Zixi also looked back from time to time, looking at the flickering candle flame in the study, Yan Zixi knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for Xiao Jingcong.

I'm afraid he'll spend another night in the study......

Yan Zixi could only be anxious, and couldn't help at all, at this time, Yan Zixi felt that she was useless. can only watch Xiao Jingcong busy there, but he is helpless.

The maid Xiaomei saw Yan Zixi and hurriedly came over to greet her: "Princess, why are you standing here in a daze, your face is not very good, are you not feeling well?" ”

Yan Zixi's mind was on Xiao Jingcong's body, she didn't pay attention to what Xiaomei said, and it wasn't until Xiaomei called her a few times that Yan Zixi came to her senses.

Chong Xiaomei smiled embarrassedly, Yan Zixi said with a smug mouth: "I'm sorry, Xiaomei, I was thinking about it just now, I didn't hear what you said, what did you say?" ”

Hearing this, Xiaomei hurriedly waved her hand, "Don't worry, don't worry, why are you suddenly so polite to the slave and maid, princess?" It really flattered the slave and maid. The slave maid saw that your face was not very good, was there something uncomfortable? Do you want the slave to call a doctor for you? ”

Yan Zixi heard Xiaomei's warm words, the haze in her heart stretched slightly, she chuckled lightly, and said slowly: "Xiaomei, you stupid girl, have you forgotten?" This princess is a doctor herself, and she is also a doctor! ”

"That's right, look at the elm head of the slave, you have forgotten this stubble!" Xiaomei slapped her head suddenly, spit out her little tongue at Yan Zixi, and then continued to ask, "Princess, are you okay?" ”

"Oh, I'm fine...... What can I do? Yan Zixi responded in amazement.

Xiaomei frowned and asked curiously: "But the slave maid saw that the princess's face was full of thoughts...... Is it because of the queen or the prince? ”

Yan Zixi did not answer Xiaomei's words directly, but asked Xiaomei to help her back to the room first.

After returning to the dormitory, Yan Zixi told the content of the conversation she had just had with Xiao Jingcong in the study.

Xiaomei learned from Yan Zixi's mouth that Xiao Jingcong was going to disobey the emperor's order to go on a pilgrimage tomorrow, and she couldn't help but show a hint of horror on her pretty face.

"Is the prince really going to the court tomorrow?" Xiaomei also called out, completely unable to believe that this was true.

Yan Zixi shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "It's a pity, this is true. I also wanted to dissuade him, but I heard Jing Cong say that this is a crisis moment related to the life and death of Da Xiao, and he must not retreat halfway, even if he risks disobeying the emperor's orders and disobeying the holy decree, he has no hesitation......"

Saying that, Yan Zixi sighed again, "This Xiao Jingcong is just a wooden head!" Obviously, now that he has even lost his official position, he is still so worried about the country and the people, and he is concerned about the war at the border, so he has never cared about himself......"

Xiaomei heard Yan Zixi's sigh, and quickly comforted her, "Princess, this is the prince's shortcoming, but it is also his advantage!" It is precisely because of this that the princess loves the prince so much, right?! ”

"You girl, you are really a little ghost, like a monkey, you can't hide anything from your fiery eyes!" Yan Zixi raised her slender jade finger and poked Xiaomei's head.

Xiaomei was immediately confused, and asked in surprise: "Princess, forgive Xiaomei for being shallow in learning and shallow in knowledge, where is the monkey in your mouth sacred, what are the fiery eyes, isn't it very powerful?" ”

Hearing Xiaomei's question, Yan Zixi was stunned for a moment, and then asked in amazement: "What, haven't you read Journey to the West?" ”

"Journey to the West? What is Journey to the West? Is it a book or something......"

"Ah, that's right, this dynasty doesn't have Tang poetry and Song lyrics, there is no Li Bai Du Fu, and the four famous works naturally don't exist......" Yan Zixi patted her chest, suddenly came to her senses, and muttered to herself in a low voice.

Xiaomei was getting more and more confused, and the princess was saying something incomprehensible there......

"Okay, Xiaomei, forget it if you haven't heard of it, if you have a chance in the future, this princess will tell you slowly. Go down first, I'm going to rest. ”

"Yes, princess, then you have a good rest, the slave and maid have taken their leave."

Yan Zixi nodded, and Xiaomei respectfully withdrew from Yan Zixi's bedroom.

After Xiaomei went out, Yan Zixi lay down on the bed, thinking that she would just sleep like this, not caring about anything, thinking about nothing. 67

But she overestimated her heart.

That heart refused to settle down, and it was affecting Xiao Jingcong all the time.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Yan Zixi still couldn't sleep, and she didn't have the idea of drowsing at all.

"Hey, it's annoying, it's annoying, it's annoying! Can't sleep, can't sleep, can't sleep! ”

Lying in bed for a long time, she couldn't sleep, so Yan Zixi simply got out of bed.

She walked to the windowsill and gently pushed the window open, and the night breeze blew in from outside, making Yan Zixi more awake.

"What are you doing? Are you still writing songs? ”

Yan Zixi's eyes glanced in the direction of the study again, and she was still worried about Xiao Jingcong in her heart.

"Alas, Jing Cong, Jing Cong, you should rest quickly......"

Although Yan Zixi knew that this was just self-deception, there was no way.

She shook her head, closed the window, climbed onto the bed again, and forced her eyes closed, trying to put her to sleep.

But the more this happened, the more Yan Zixi couldn't sleep.

It was not until the second half of the night that Yan Zixi finally felt a little sleepy.

……

Early the next morning, when the sky was still bright, Yan Zixi came to her senses.

When he opened his eyes, he didn't see Xiao Jingcong beside him, presumably he spent the night in the study last night.

"I wonder if Jing Cong is gone? It's so early, you shouldn't have gone out yet, right? I'm going to make her something to eat. ”

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi lifted the sheets, got off the bed, and walked to the dresser to freshen up and dress up.

Because she didn't sleep well last night, Yan Zixi looked very haggard when she saw herself in the bronze mirror, especially with the two big dark circles under her eyes, which looked like panda eyes.

"Oops, my dark circles......"

Yan Zixi screamed, and hurriedly grabbed the gouache used for concealer and applied it.

However, after smearing for a long time, it can't completely cover it, but it makes it nondescript.

"Forget it, don't toss, it's too late......"

After doing it for a long time, it can only be said that he can barely see people, and if he continues to toss, Yan Zixi is worried that Xiao Jingcong is going to the court, and he can't catch up with what he did early.

Yan Zixi got dressed, then pushed open the door and went straight to the kitchen.

Because she got up early, even the maid Xiaomei was still sleeping, and only a few maids in charge of Mrs. Xiao's breakfast were busy in the back kitchen.

These maids had never seen Princess Xiao get up so early and come to the kitchen.

So when Yan Zixi came in, they were all stunned in place, and they didn't react at all.

It wasn't until Yan Zixi asked them where the flour was that the maids recovered from their shock.

"Slave maid...... Slave and maid see the princess ......"

"See the Princess'......"

"No need to be polite, this princess asks you, where is the flour, I want to make some early." Yan Zixi asked again in her mouth.

This time, those maids were clever, and immediately replied to Yan Zixi: "Princess, the flour is here, and the slave maid will bring it to you......"

So saying, the maid brought the flour.

Yan Zixi didn't hesitate, rolled up her sleeves and began to meet there.

Those maids saw that Yan Zixi's technique was very skillful, and they couldn't help but whisper in the back.

"Look, I really didn't expect our Princess Xiao to be so ingenious and even get along so well?"

"Yes, yes, the princess is really powerful, she can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen...... No wonder Prince Xiao loves her so much! ”

"It's just, hey, I really envy us......"
