Just after February, holding the profit out of the confinement, Cui Yi was reluctant to lead the troops to Xuanzhou to change the defense, although Yang Qiong is good at marksmanship, but the actual combat experience is far less than him, and the understanding of a cadre of generals in the court is not enough, it is really unsafe to guard Xuanzhou Mansion alone.

Cao Qian had just become a relative, and Zhiying felt that it was really not good to let people be separated like this, and he followed Cui Yi everywhere all day long, enduring hardships and suffering, and it was time to breathe, so he let Xu Cheng follow, and made military achievements, so he could gain a firm foothold in the Yanzhou camp.

The two arrived at Xuanzhou Mansion with their soldiers and handed over many matters before Yang Qiong returned to Yanzhou.

Yang Qiong is coming back, everyone is very happy, including Nian Jiaojiao, who has never seen him, and heard Zhiying tell the story of him riding alone for thousands of miles to save his benefactor Cheng Fengyi, and he is also full of admiration for him.

Only Cui Xiang was depressed and almost died, Yang Qiong was coming back, and Zhong Luhuan ignored him.

On the second day after Zhiying just gave birth to her son, Zhong Luhuan went to the side courtyard to talk to him, although the words were quite subtle, but the meaning was very clear, I hope he will stop pestering himself and spend more time elsewhere.

However, if it is so easy to be convinced, it is not Cui Xiang, the little prince was depressed from February to March, and after hearing the news that Yang Qiong was going to return to Yanzhou, the hostility was unprecedentedly high, and the maids waiting in the house could see the extent of the black gas on his body.

Where is Yang Qiong better than herself? In terms of family background, he was born in a heavenly family, and 10,000 Yang Hai have also been covered, can there be a more noble background than the prince in the world? In terms of appearance, he is not bad, and he grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, which is like a military general who dances a gun and a stick, and his face is full of dust and frost; In terms of talent and learning, I have been studying in the study since I was a child, and the champion among the champions is worthy of telling books to myself, how can I not compare to a boy who is so poor that he wants to sell himself to bury his father!

Compared with each other, Cui Xiang became more and more angry, and he couldn't figure out what Zhong Luhuan liked about Yang Qiong.

Zhong Luhuan didn't know that he had such a misunderstanding, so Cui Xiang couldn't even hear the explanation, and got into the horns alone.

No matter how depressed he was, Yang Qiong still returned to Yanzhou Mansion in early April, and Zhiying contracted a cold a few days earlier and couldn't go out, so he asked Zhong Luhuan to go to the city gate to greet him, and on behalf of Cui Yi, he rewarded the soldiers for their hard work in the past year. Since Zhong Luhuan came to Yanzhou Mansion, the burden on Zhiying's shoulders has really been a lot lighter, and she doesn't have to bow down to everything, and has more time to play with the children.

Zhong Luhuan wore the "Qincha's hat" and just left the palace with her front feet, Cui Xiang led the little girl to sneakily follow out, and Zhiying listened to the report from the next person, but she was used to it, and she didn't care about it because she had a headache.

In front of the South City Gate, Yang Qiong got off the horse, and Zhong Luhuan, on behalf of Zhiying, stepped forward to condole: "General Yang has worked hard all the way. ”

"Miss Zhong?" Yang Qiong was a little surprised when she saw her, and hurriedly gave her hand, "How dare you bother the girl to come to greet her in person!" ”

"My sister was unwell, and the doctor told her to stay in bed to recuperate, so I did it for me." Zhong Luhuan smiled.

As the concubine of King Wu, Zhiying has always treated her subordinates well, and it has become a habit to send her back to pick her up, so Yang Qiong nodded and asked, "Madam is sick?" Yanzhou is bitterly cold, and Mrs. has just given birth to a little son, so it is really not suitable to work hard, so you must take care of your body. ”

Bailizan stroked his beard and smiled: "It turned out that I didn't do well enough, so I let my wife worry about everything, and I was really ashamed." ”

Yang Qiong hurriedly said: "Mr. is hard, I am the corpse vegetarian, and I have not been able to be loyal to the prince and relieve my wife's worries." ”

Cui Xiang hid in the corner of the street and eavesdropped, listening to Yang Qiong's polite words, not to mention asking Zhong Luhuan if she was good, and she was very dissatisfied in her heart - Lu Huan liked him so much, didn't he appreciate it at all? What this king can't ask for, how can it be ruined by you like this!

After announcing the rewards for the soldiers, Yang Qiong had to lead the army back to the camp, Bailizan and Zhong Luhuan also went to do their own things, Cui Xiang squatted at the base of the wall and scratched his ears, and returned to the palace listlessly.

The next day, Yang Qiong came to the palace to ask for peace.

There are charcoal pots in the house, and a basin of water is placed on the wire cage, which is warm but not dry, and the red window flowers on the window are still fresh, and the afternoon sun shines obliquely in, adding a bit of warm and mellow taste.

Zhiying sat on the bed with a thin quilt and read a book, Zhong Luhuan sat across the table with her, embroidering small shoes for Xiao Cui Hao, and Nian Jiaojiao hugged Xiao Cui Xian and taught her to sing Yanzhou folk songs.

Yang Qiong couldn't help but smile when she saw this picture when she entered the door: "Madame, it's getting more and more lively here." ”

Nian Jiaojiao raised her head and said with a smile: "Brother Yang is back!" ”

Yang Qiong didn't recognize her, and Zhiying introduced: "This is General Xu's wife who has not passed the door, her maiden name is Nian, and she has more than one year every year. Yang Qiong suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be my sister-in-law." Nian Jiaojiao pouted and asked, "Brother Yang calls me sister-in-law, but you call me old, do I look old?" ”

As soon as Cui Xiang heard that Yang Qiong had come to the palace to ask for peace, he couldn't sit still, and followed despite the obstruction of the little maid.

"Huh?" Yang Qiong was caught off guard by the question, and hurriedly apologized with a smile, "No, no, no, no!" The young girl is young, it is the age of flowers, how can she be old, it is my rudeness. ”

Zhong Luhuan hurriedly relieved the siege: "Jiaojiao, don't rely on General Yang just coming back, you don't understand your temperament, you will bully him." ”

On the wall, Cui Xiang gritted his silver teeth - these words, these words are like a wife defending her husband! Lu Huan, you are so affectionate to him, you don't even let others laugh?

Nian Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, and Zhiying also smiled: "Jiaojiao is so naughty and loves to laugh, General Yang don't mind." ”

Yang Qiong said no, greeted Zhiying a few words, and suddenly sighed: "If it weren't for my lack of experience and difficulty in taking on big responsibilities, I really shouldn't have let the prince and General Xu leave Yanzhou and be separated from his wife and Nian, and he could only pass on lovesickness by letter." ”

Nian Jiaojiao pouted her mouth and said arrogantly: "Who has passed on lovesickness to him!" Hum! ”

"The prince is the lord, so he naturally has to put the adults of the world first, and the soldiers are sympathetic," said Zhi Yingwen, "Besides, even if they are not in one place, they can't even afford letters, as long as they think about each other in their hearts, no matter how far away they are, they are like neighbors." General Yang is a loner now, and he will marry and have children in the future, right? ”

Yang Qiong laughed at herself and said, "Qiong is ashamed of her ancestors and ancestors, in this life...... He has made up his mind not to marry. ”

Cui Xiang's eyes were almost crazy, and he roared with grief in his heart - Lu Huan is such a good girl, she really admires you, you actually said that you will not marry in this life, are you worthy of her!

"You still can't let go of the past." Zhiying sighed helplessly.

Nian Jiaojiao asked curiously: "What happened in the past?" What happened in the past? Zhong Luhuan glanced at her and asked her not to ask more.

Yang Qiong clenched her fists and bowed deeply: "Madame's compassionateness, Qiong Ming feels it in my heart, but I have made up my mind, and I hope that Madame will not worry about this matter in the future, no matter what, I will follow the prince before and after the saddle, remove the difference inside, resist the enemy outside, and then die." ”

When he said this, Zhiying couldn't hold on anymore, and he couldn't comfort him - even if Cui Yi killed Beidi one day and brought Cheng Fengyi back, Yang Qiong would never show half of her heart to her if she cared about morality and etiquette.

This affection, from the day of birth, is destined to never have a good result, Cheng Fengyi's fierceness, Yang Qiong's integrity, has become an insurmountable gap between them, and without Cheng Fengyi's knowledge, all the bitter fruits can only be swallowed by Yang Qiong alone.

Zhiying said regretfully and heartbrokenly: "I know, I won't mention anything like this in the future, but there is one point, please remember General Yang." ”

Yang Qiong lowered her head and listened: "But listen to Mrs. Teach." ”

"Whether you want to be alone in the future, or meet other women who can untie the knot in your heart, and stay with her for a long time, it doesn't matter, but for now, please don't do anything stupid on the battlefield without caring about your own life because you have no worries, the life of others is life, your own life is also life."

Zhiying's worry is by no means superfluous, long before knowing Cheng Fengyi, Yang Qiong used her hands to block the dark arrow in order to save Cui Yi, and now everyone in Yanzhou has their own wives, even Bailizan has a fiancée in his hometown who sends cotton jackets and cloth shoes from time to time, Yang Qiong is lonely, and it is inevitable that she will sacrifice her life to save others when they are in danger, if she is really injured or even dies because of this, it is really too embarrassing.

Yang Qiong was slightly stunned, stared at her for a moment, and buried her head: "...... Be. ”

"It's a busy time for spring plowing outside the city, so you can go." Seeing that Nian Jiaojiao was so curious, Zhi Ying was afraid that she would say something unscrupulously, which would make Yang Qiong even more sad, so she sent him away.

Yang Qiong said goodbye and went out, Zhong Luhuan sighed: "There is such a long-term man in the world, but ...... It's really hard for him. ”

As soon as the words fell, an angry roar came from outside the courtyard: "I called you arrogant!" So that there is no one in your eyes! Immediately afterwards, there was a fight, the screams of the maids, and the persuasion of the little maids.

The three people in the house were all shocked, Zhong Luhuan was the first to run to the door to see, but her eyes were so frightened that they were about to fall out: "Seventh Master!" General Yang! He ran out with his skirt in hand.

Zhiying also hurriedly put down the book, took off the quilt and went to the ground, and hurried out to check.

At the gate of the main courtyard, Cui Xiang was like a fierce tiger, violently beating Yang Qiong, and the little guy next to him tried his best to dissuade him, but he was hindered by the fact that he was the prince of Jingui, and he didn't dare to move, he couldn't stop it, Yang Qiong himself was even more, he didn't dare to fight back at all, he just blindly dodged, and he was afraid that he would throw Cui Xiang away with too much strength and bump into it, and saw his fists and feet fall down with his head and face, but he could only bear it.

Zhi Yingden was furious: "It's just too unusual! Come! Set up King Jing! ”

The pro-soldiers got the order, rushed up, and dragged Cui Xiang away, Cui Xiang was furious, and kicked with his feet when he held the back of his hand, Yang Qiong's clean robe was kicked by him with footprints, and he got up in embarrassment.

Zhong Luhuan stepped forward quickly, her expression was almost crying: "General Yang is okay, right?" Is there any injury or something? Seventh Master, where did General Yang provoke you, you want to beat him like this? ”

Cui Xiang snorted arrogantly and said, "This king just can't get used to his virtue in his eyes!" I thought who I was, but I was a house slave bought by my second sister-in-law for money! ”

The word house slave was like a slap in the face, and it was slammed on Yang Qiong's cheek, and he became angry in an instant, his face was swollen and red: "What did you say!" ”

Cui Xiang said without showing weakness: "What, are you still not convinced?" Just by virtue of your conditions, you dare to pick and choose, Lu Wan is not fake to this king, but she cares a lot about you, you are so unkind! Where is her true heart?! ”

"Shut up!" Zhiying rushed down in a few big strides, stopped between them, and shouted angrily, "Concubine Duanjing Zhenshu, how could she teach you such a scoundrel!" You guys, take people back to the side courtyard, and from now on, you won't be allowed to go out for half a step without my permission! Who dares to derelict their duties and be dealt with directly by military law! ”
