Chapter 38: Consolation
Since Xiao Pingzhang led the army to the north, Xiao Xin waited for the military report every day, but there was no news for a whole month, which made Xiao Xin, who was already anxious, restless and unthinking, and his spirit was a little sluggish.
Xiao Xin's body was already getting weaker and weaker, and Gao Qin was worried when he saw this situation, so he secretly sent people to Zhengyang Palace to ask Xiao Jingning for help.
The chamberlain hurriedly ran to Zhengyang Palace, and when he saw Xiao Jingning, he immediately knelt down: "Niangniang, go and persuade Your Majesty!" ”
Xiao Jingning was taken aback: "You made it clear, what's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”
The waiter said: "Your Majesty doesn't think about tea and dinner these days, and you don't rest well at night, and Niangniang also knows that Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, how can you withstand such a toss!" ”
"Hongu knows."
Knowing Xiao Xin's recent situation, Xiao Jingning waved the chamberlain away and sat on the phoenix throne in a trance.
Except when he came to Zhengyang Palace, Xiao Jingning never took the initiative to pay attention to Xiao Xin's condition. Even if he came to Zhengyang Palace, she consciously kept a certain distance, and since Xiao Pingzhang set out on the expedition, Xiao Xin has never set foot in the harem. While she hoped that King Changlin's father and son would be safe and triumphant, she was also a little relaxed, after all, she didn't have to face Xiao Xin.
But Xiao Xin's body is really weak, and he is carefully recuperated on weekdays, and he doesn't dare to let him have a trace of fatigue. And now this situation can't allow him not to be anxious at all, but his body really can't withstand the toss.
A wry smile crept up on the corner of his lips, and then he restrained his emotions, Xiao Jingning called Su Ying and went towards the Yangju Palace.
When the attendants of the Yangju Palace saw Xiao Jingning's figure from a distance, their eyes lit up like a savior, and they looked at each other, one of them went in to report it, and the other stayed to wait for Xiao Jingning to come to the front and salute: "The slave has seen Niangniang!" ”
Xiao Jingning bowed: "Get up." Your Majesty can have dinner? ”
"Father-in-law Gao has delivered food to His Majesty, but His Majesty has not eaten." After the waiter returned, he looked worried, "Niangniang, you must persuade Your Majesty to cherish the dragon body!" The words of the minions do not work, and His Majesty has always listened to the words of the mother. ”
"......" Xiao Jingning glanced at this servant, his ability to open his eyes and talk nonsense is good, if Xiao Xin really listened to Xun Ruolan's words, then the Changlin Palace's mansion would probably be over, "This palace will do its best." ”
At this time, the previous chamberlain came out, bowed down and said, "Niangniang, Your Majesty invites you in." ”
Xiao Jingning nodded, walked past the two of them, and stepped into the Yangju Palace.
What caught her eye was a few half-human-high folds, covering Xiao Xin's whole person behind the imperial case tightly, and she only saw a corner of her clothes exposed on the side of the fold. Gao Qin, whose hair was about to fall off, stood beside him, as if he wanted to persuade but didn't dare to persuade him, looking at Xiao Jingning's eyes with a look of hope.
Xiao Jingning's eyes turned to the table not far away, and saw that there was a delicate meal on it, obviously not moving, it seemed that if he didn't eat it again, it would be cold.
Retracting his gaze, Xiao Jingning made a blessing salute: "The concubine sees Your Majesty." ”
Xiao Xin stopped writing when he heard the sound, put the pen on the inkstone, got up and walked in front of Xiao Jingning to help her up: "The queen and I are separated, between you and me, there is no need to be polite." ”
"Etiquette should not be abolished."
Getting up along Xiao Xin's strength, Xiao Jingning saw that his face was a little gray, and there were blue shadows in his eyes, his spirit was really bad, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He took Xiao Xin's arm and said with concern: "The concubine knows that Your Majesty cares about the war situation in the north, but since you promised the prince of Changlin that you would be the backing of Changlin, but you don't care about the dragon body so much, how can you settle the rear for the Changlin army?" ”
"I know." Xiao Xin paused: "But there has been no news from the north, and I feel uneasy." ”
"No news is good news." Xiao Jingning comforted, "Although the concubines of the war situation don't understand, they also know that when the war is urgent, they don't report so quickly, and they must wait for the battle to come empty-handed." Your Majesty doesn't cherish the dragon body so much, when the war is reported to Beijing, how can Your Majesty have the energy to see it? ”
When he was comforting, he couldn't help blinking at Xiao Xin's blazing eyes: "Why does Your Majesty look at the concubine so much?" Is it the concubine who said it wrong? ”
"The queen is right." Xiao Xin's long-tense face finally had a smile, "I'm just happy that the queen finally doesn't hide from me." ”
Xiao Jingning was stunned, she didn't expect that her previous attitude was obviously quite vague, but she was still discovered by Xiao Xin, and this time she took the initiative to come to comfort because of Gao Qin's call for help, and forgot to keep her distance for a while, but Xiao Xin keenly found out, and she was so happy that she didn't even want the self-title of "I".
She smiled a little awkwardly and replied, "What nonsense is Your Majesty talking about, when did the concubine avoid you?" ”
Not wanting to talk about this topic anymore, Xiao Jingning glanced at the table where the meal was placed: "Your Majesty, if you don't need to eat anymore, the food will be cold." ”
Xiao Xin didn't say much, Ren Xiao Jingning led him to sit at the dining table, watched her prepare vegetables for him, and then ate all the things that Xiao Jingning added for him in Gao Qin's excited eyes.
Xiao Jingning estimated Xiao Xin's amount of food, and stopped the cloth vegetables when he was about eight points full, after all, Xiao Xin had a poor appetite for many days, and it would not be good if he ate too much.
After ordering someone to take down the meal, Xiao Jingning glanced at the large piles of songs, and his eyes were not very friendly: "The epidemic in the capital has passed, and the major events in the DPRK and China should only be the war in the north at present, but there is no war report in the north, where do these courtiers come to play so many things?" ”
"Uh......" Xiao Xin's eyes suddenly flickered, looking at the sky and the earth, but not looking at Xiao Jingning.
"Huh?"
Xiao Jingning saw Xiao Xin's reaction and felt that there was a big problem, so he didn't care about being taboo, and stepped forward to flip through a few folds.
Yicheng Zhizhou Bai respectfully invited St. Ann.
Oak Yang Thorn Shi Wen Fu respectfully invited St. Ann.
……
After reading more than a dozen excerpts of the magistrate's invitation, Xiao Jingning pinched the latest excerpt with similar contents, his face was pale, and he looked at Xiao Xin with wide eyes: "Your Majesty!" That's all you need for without meals or rest? ”
"Ahem," Xiao Xin put his hand on her shoulder and half-hugged her, and said uncomfortably: "The interaction between the monarch and the minister is also necessary......
Hehe!
Xiao Jingning smiled, her voice was a little cold, her cool eyes stared at Xiao Xin's face, and suddenly Xiao Xin's whitewashed words couldn't be made up, and said in a soft voice: "Queen, I ...... Ahem, I'm here to settle, you...... Don't be angry. ”
Xiao Jingning was noncommittal, but helped him to walk to the inner room, obviously not believing Xiao Xin's words, and wanted to watch him fall asleep with his own eyes.
Gao Qin and the attendants showed reverent glances at the queen's mother, and quickly passed the water to Xiao Jingning to personally serve Xiao Xin's wide clothes and untie his hair, and lie down on the dragon bed after cleaning his face, hands and feet.
Xiao Xin still didn't sleep well, and he only felt better by holding Xiao Jingning's hand, but he woke up as soon as Xiao Jingning moved. In desperation, Xiao Jingning also slept beside him in wide clothes, the beauty was in his arms, Xiao Xin sniffed her breath, and really fell asleep.
When it was confirmed that Xiao Xin was finally asleep, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and the attendants lightly packed the large folds of folds and sent them to the East Palace.
Looking at the fold that was sent back in good condition, Xiao Yuanshi smiled and bent his eyes, and then opened the book of folds, repeating the two words in a dignified manner.
I am.
In the days that followed, because only Xiao Xin could eat and rest obediently when Xiao Jingning was there, Xiao Jingning almost lived in the Yangju Palace.
Such days lasted until the end of November, and the long-delayed northern military report finally arrived in Xiao Xin's hands.
