Chapter 128: Husband and Wife Meet
"Madame, ma'am! Exultation! Xie Rongxing, the housekeeper of the house, rushed into the flower hall, and after seeing the Wang family, he was so excited that he almost forgot to salute.
It was the first time for Wang Qingyun to see the always calm housekeeper so excited, she pursed her lips and said softly: "Butler Xie, what happened?" ”
"Madam, Lord Hou has returned victorious! Not only did he return to the king with his hand, but he also left no piece of armor killed by the Hui department, and at this time the person had already arrived in the front yard. ”
"Really?!" Wang Qingyun stood up from her seat excitedly, and she didn't care about talking to Steward Xie anymore, she rushed out of the flower hall with fast steps.
As soon as he passed the moon cave door, Wang Qingyun saw a man in armor walking quickly. Under the dry and bright sun of the northland, the man's face is handsome and beautiful, his eyebrows are bright, the pines are like emerald, the stones are like jade, and the mountains are magnificent.
Wang Qingyun's eyes blinked, and tears fell instantly.
"Husband." Her eyes were hot, her palms were holding on to the wall, and her whole person seemed to be frozen, unable to move a single inch.
"Madame!" Xie Han strode in the direction of Wang Qingyun, stretched out his long arms, and hugged Wang Qingyun directly into his arms in front of everyone's eyes, his hot lips were close to his wife's white, small ears, and his burning breath was gushing on it. Xie Han said softly: "Qingqing, I'm back." ”
Wang Qingyun's heart was sour, she forgot to be reserved, and hugged Xie Han hard, her fair, moist skin was attached to Xie Han's cold armor, the coolness of Xuantie made her tremble slightly, but her heart was instantly complete.
Xie Han didn't let go of Wang Qingyun's hand all the way. Back in the inner room, Wang Qingyun personally served him to take off his armor, and asked people to prepare hot water and bath beans for bathing.
When he saw the wound on Xie Han's body that had just healed, Wang Qingyun's pupils shrank, and his trembling fingers gently stroked the scar on the man's chest, and the fingertips seemed to be burned, and a drop of crystal tears fell into the bathtub.
"Husband, does it still hurt?"
Xie Han took the opportunity to catch Wang Qingyun's soft twing, put it on his lips and kissed it. He has a pair of peach blossom eyes that are very similar to Xie Yanhe, when he is not smiling, the cold glow in his eyes makes people feel unattainable and unapproachable, once he laughs, a pair of eyes seem to be filled with clear spring water, silently surging with affection that seems to be able to drown people.
Under Xie Han's scorching gaze, Wang Qingyun's cheeks were hot, and her phoenix eyes were so soft that they seemed to be able to drip water.
"Husband......
Xie Han suddenly stood up from the tub. Crystal water droplets flowed across his strong chest, and the smooth, beautiful muscle lines on his body were full of ready strength.
Although they have been married for many years, and the two have long been naked, Wang Qingyun still blushed with shame, she quickly looked away, and covered her hot face with both hands.
Xie Han laughed, and his smile revealed the pride and happiness that only young people have.
Wang Qingyun was annoyed and angry, and threw the clean towel in his hand towards Xie Han.
Xie Han scooped up his long arms, easily took the bath towel thrown by his wife, wiped it indiscriminately, he tore off the moon-white bedrobe on the screen, and put it on his body.
Wang Qingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heat on her face finally dropped a little. She said angrily: "My husband is a father, and he is still messing around like this." ”
Wang Qingyun picked up the jade belt and helped Xie Han tie it around his waist, and his gentle voice was full of tenderness and sweetness: "Does the wound still hurt?" Do you want to let the doctor in the house take a look? ”
"It's already good. Qingqing, for so many years, you have suffered with me. Xie Han couldn't help hugging his petite wife, and Qing Yue's beautiful voice was full of pity, guilt, and gratitude.
"What did the husband say?" Xie Han is nine feet tall, Wang Qingyun's height has just reached Xie Han's chest, she quietly put her face to the position of the man's heart, feeling the man's powerful heartbeat, she bent her lips with satisfaction, and her sweet voice was as gentle as water: "My husband probably doesn't know, how many ladies in the capital wanted to marry you back then, and I didn't sleep well when I learned that the person my husband chose was me." ”
When Wang Qingyun said this, she seemed to think of something interesting, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her beautiful phoenix eyes had a hint of sweetness, as if she had returned to the old days.
Her expression rarely brought a hint of playfulness, and she said softly: "After I got engaged to my husband back then, my cousin and sister almost broke off contact with me. It can be seen that you are the first son of the capital. ”
Xie Han was stunned. He stayed in office with his father back then, and only returned to Beijing to greet his grandmother during the New Year's holidays, and every time he came and went in a hurry. The so-called name of the first son of the capital, Xie Han heard it for the first time.
Seeing this, Wang Qingyun blinked proudly, she covered her mouth and smiled: "I know that my husband doesn't know the rumors about yourself." I won't tell you, though. Otherwise, I don't know how proud you are. ”
Wang Qingyun thought of the first time the two met. She followed her mother to Huguo Temple to make incense, and met Second Mrs. Gu, who is now her mother-in-law, in the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Mother and Mrs. Gu are both proficient in Buddhism, and they have a good conversation. She got bored and slipped out of the main hall quietly, only to collide head-on with a young man in the garden.
Wang Qingyun will never forget that scene until now.
The peach blossoms are in full bloom in March, and the two peach trees in the courtyard have lived for hundreds of years. The breeze blows, and a tree is pink.
A young man wearing a moon-white robe and a white jade crown stood under the flower tree, with handsome eyebrows, a face like a crown of jade, a tall posture, and a noble atmosphere, like a fairy in the sky.
It was at that time that Wang Qingyun lost a heart.
Thoughts were withdrawn from the memories, Wang Qingyun looked at the still handsome young man in front of her, her eyes were so soft that they seemed to be able to drip water, she motioned to Xie Han to bend down, helped him straighten his collar, and asked for warmth: "Did you have breakfast for your husband?" The mutton soup was stewed on the stove, and the husband first used a bowl of mutton to pad it. For lunch, I asked them to prepare a few more dishes. ”
"Don't bother, I didn't come back until I had breakfast in the camp." Xie Han tied his hair with a hairband at random, came out of the bathroom, and sat down on the Luohan couch by the window.
"How many days are there any letters from the capital?"
The softness between Wang Qingyun's eyebrows disappeared instantly.
After many years of husband and wife, how could Xie Han miss the change in his wife's expression, his eyebrows twisted unconsciously: "Is there something wrong in the capital?" ”
"Husband, don't be angry first, listen to me tell you slowly." Wang Qingyun took a deep breath and narrated the contents of the letter.
After hearing that his sister who was holding in the palm of his hand was almost killed by a bowl of poison from the eldest princess of peace, Xie Han slapped his palm on the kang table, and the rosewood table was hit by the palm force, and suddenly cracked a fine line visible to the naked eye, which showed the anger in Xie Han's chest!
"Grandmother can't sleep like this?" Xie Han snorted, Peach Blossom's eyes were full of coldness, and he said disdainfully: "The prince is narrow-minded, obviously he broke his promise first, but he repeatedly connived at the princess to make it difficult to sleep, such a person, grandmother thinks, is it useful to wag his tail and beg for mercy?" ”
"Husband, the matter has come to this, it is useless to think too much." Wang Qingyun doesn't have too deep feelings for the eldest princess of Ping'an, so she is much calmer than Xie Han.
"But...... Fortunately, His Majesty has unspeakable thoughts about his sister. Otherwise, we would now have received the news of my sister's death. Wang Qingyun couldn't help but give eye medicine to the eldest princess of Ping An in front of Xie Han.
In Wang Qingyun's heart, the sister-in-law and her husband are the real "one glory and one loss", as for the Xie family...... Wang Qingyun laughed in her heart, whether it was Xie Guogong or Changxinghou, both of them were inactive and mediocre, and they would only hold their husbands back.
It's ridiculous...... The eldest princess targeted her husband's sister while delusionally thinking that her husband would work hard for the Xie family, and this wishful thinking was too good!
Hearing his wife mention His Majesty, Xie Han temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, and the expression on his face became a little complicated.
Although His Majesty is not a few years older than himself, he is his cousin in terms of generation. Xie Han has always been very respectful and close to His Majesty. But he used to be an adult, but now he wants to be his brother-in-law, Rao is Xie Han has seen all the winds and waves, and he can't help but be a little speechless at this moment.
Wang Qingyun could understand her husband's shock and confusion at this time, and she was even more shocked than her husband when she saw the news.
"Husband, what do you think in your heart?" Wang Qingyun carefully looked at Xie Han's expression, and she sighed faintly: "Husband, don't you feel embarrassed?" After all......"
When Xie Han heard this, his chaotic thoughts were quiet, he shook Wang Qingyun's hand heavily, and a wry smile appeared on his lips: "It's not very difficult." I just feel that Mianmian is ill-fated, and I, as an elder brother, feel a little distressed. ”
Wang Qingyun was silent for a while.
The sister-in-law has shown extraordinary beauty since she was a child, a little girl of seven or eight years old, but she is like a fairy child under the Guanyin seat, with pink makeup and jade; When he was eleven or twelve years old, his delicate and delicate eyebrows already had a bit of beauty and charm; To this day, I don't know what kind of glamour and peerless style it is.
Such a beauty, if she falls into an ordinary family, I am afraid that my sister-in-law's husband will not be able to protect her.
"Qingqing, I originally planned to marry Mianmian to the cousin of the Gu family." Xie Han's expression revealed a hint of helplessness, and his tone even brought a bit of regret.
"Huai Jin is a young man, extremely talented, and handsome, and he is a cousin and cousin, and his grandmother is good to sleep."
The more Xie Han said, the deeper the regret in his heart became: "If it weren't for my grandmother's selfishness, in order to please the crown princess, she privately made the decision to marry Mianmian to a military man, and I might have to be an uncle now." ”
Xie Han didn't suppress the anger in his heart after all, and with the force of his fingers, he actually broke off a corner of the red sandalwood kang.
"Be careful! Don't get your fingers stabbed by wood. Wang Qingyun exclaimed in surprise when she saw this, and hurriedly grabbed Xie Han's palm to check it. Because the man has been practicing martial arts all year round, he has a thick layer of calluses from his fingertips to his palms, and there are several staggered scars on the palms, which are caused by sharp blades at a glance.
Xie Han enjoyed his wife's concern very much, but his mouth was still inconsistent: "It's a fuss." Madame, shouldn't she feel sorry for this red sandalwood kang? ”
Wang Qingyun angrily pinched Xie Han's palm, but unfortunately her strength was not painful or itchy for men.
She said angrily: "A kang is worth a few silver!" If you split a hundred and eighty pieces, my dowry alone will be enough. ”
The more Wang Qingyun spoke, the more annoyed she became: "I don't care how you are in the barracks, and you are constantly injured. But under my nose, you can't even break the oily skin on your fingers. ”
"Yes, yes, what Mrs. said is, for the husband, I will make amends to Mrs." Xie Han smiled. Although he was majestic outside, like a god, in front of Wang Qingyun, his fierce beast suddenly hibernated into a big cat, looking extremely obedient.
Wang Qingyun snorted, but didn't hold on to Xie Han's pigtails anymore, she poured Xie Han a cup of hot tea, and said in a serious tone: "What does the husband think about this matter?" ”
Xie Han put away the smile on his face, his eyes were heavy, but he didn't mean to be displeased. He said with a straight face: "Qingqing, Your Majesty is happy to sleep, which is a good thing." ”
"Your Majesty is so much older than your sister, and your sister can be Your Majesty's daughter." Wang Qingyun frowned slightly, and complained to her husband: "You said Your Majesty, why did he fall in love with his sister?" ”
Xie Han also thought about this question just now.
But looking at his wife's troubled look, Xie Han instantly gave birth to a hint of realization: Maybe this is where love goes. Just like when he fell in love with the reckless little girl outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall at a glance.
"Okay, if you can't figure it out, you don't have to think about it." Xie Han smiled, he didn't know what he thought, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, which was fleeting. Xie Han said quietly: "This is already a very good result. ”
"Qingqing, if the crown prince ascends the throne, my sister and I will not escape death. That's why in the past few years, I have been desperately developing the forces in the army, so that our family can have the power to protect ourselves before the butcher's knife falls. But the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. I even thought that after the crown prince ascended the throne, we would move our family to Mobei......"
Wang Qingyun never knew that her husband was hiding such a heavy heart. Every time Xie Han was in front of her wife, he was always gentle and strong, as if no difficulty could crush him.
But now, when Xie Han showed his fragile and hesitant side, Wang Qingyun's heart ached, and she couldn't help but feel deep self-blame.
"Husband, it's all my fault, not only can't I help you share your worries, but I don't even notice what is on your mind." Wang Qingyun was extremely sad, and crystal tears welled up in her eyes, like beads with broken threads, falling non-stop.
"Qingqing, don't cry. I'm hiding it from you because I'm afraid you'll be worried. You are in charge of the chores in the house every day, and you also have to raise Yu Xiu, Wei Zhou and Tao Tao, and we don't have elders to help, so these burdens can only be on you alone. Xie Han couldn't see his wife crying, a pair of handsome eyes floated a little flustered, and hurriedly wiped his wife's tears with his fingertips.
"Qingqing, I'm too incompetent as a husband." Xie Han looked at his wife, who was still extremely sad no matter how much he coaxed him, and his heart was like frying in oil, which was heartache and pity.
"Qingqing, Qingqing...... Stop crying......" Xie Han's tone was almost pleading.
Wang Qingyun listened to her husband's gentle words in her ear, and her heart became more and more sad, she climbed up to Xie Han's neck with a pair of arms, hugged the person firmly, and said with tears: "Husband, I am one husband and wife with you, don't hide your heart from me in the future." ”
Xie Han breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and hurriedly promised: "Qingqing, I was wrong, I will not hide anything from you in the future." ”
Wang Qingyun barely held back her tears, she gently leaned on Xie Han's shoulder, and said softly: "Don't hide it from your husband, I also think that if my sister can marry His Majesty, it will be a happy event." Since the prince withdrew from the marriage, where is there a son in the capital who dares to marry his sister. Those who are willing to get married, none of them can get their hands on it. ”
is also a woman, Wang Qingyun hated Chen Rong's next work very much. It is not enough to bully his sister at a young age, relying on foxy means to secretly communicate with the prince, stepping on his sister to climb to the position of the crown princess, and even wanting to send his sister to Liaodong, how can there be such a vicious and shameless woman in the world!
"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the throne has been vacant until now, and no one has entered the palace once. Even the crown prince's biological mother died only as Princess Yong. If the younger sister can be in the middle palace and regenerate Lin'er, there is a pepper room inside, and a husband to rely on, not necessarily without a fight with the prince. ”
Wang Qingyun directly said what was in her heart, regardless of whether her words were rebellious.
Xie Han's face was cold, but the corners of his lips were raised with a somewhat mocking smile: "Qingqing, Your Majesty has been dissatisfied with the crown prince for a long time. In my opinion, as long as my sister gives birth to a prince, our odds will be very good. ”
Xie Han could probably guess the emperor's arrangement for him. After returning to Beijing, the emperor should hand over the palace guards and the Gyeonggi camp to him, and he will guard the palace. In this way, my sister will have peace of mind in the harem.
"Husband, although we have military power in our hands. However, there is no foundation among the scholars. This is what Wang Qingyun is most worried about. For so many years, the husband has always been cautious and never befriended the courtiers, although this move can make His Majesty feel at ease with the husband, but once he returns to the capital, everything will have to be re-operated.
"Qingqing, after I go back, I still have to rely on my father-in-law." Xie Han's ink eyes drooped slightly, and he did not leak his emotions in the slightest.
Wang Qingyun categorically stopped: "No." ”
She sneered and said very calmly: "Husband, I don't plan to have anything to do with the Wang family anymore, there is no need for my husband to see the faces of the Wang family for me, I have already let my husband suffer a grievance for me." ”
Xie Han didn't expect his wife's reaction to be so fierce, he hurriedly said softly: "Qingqing, when the prince divorced and married again, many families were anxious to draw a line with the Xie family. Even my grandmother was busy sending my sister to Jiangnan to avoid trouble. This is human nature, and I don't blame my uncle for it. ”
Although Xie Han looked down on the Wang family's approach at the beginning, he didn't want to embarrass his wife who was caught between his husband's family and his mother's family.
