Before dawn, Changji whispered in my ear that he had arranged everything, telling me not to worry about anything, and to wait for him to come back at home.

I closed my eyes and didn't answer, and he thought I was sleeping soundly, so he dropped a kiss on my forehead and went out the door lightly.

Actually, I just pretended to sleep, and I didn't fall asleep.

He confessed last night that he wouldn't let me send him, I didn't listen, as a woman, I shouldn't run to the front of the three armies and cry, so it's always okay for me to stand in a place where no one is there and practice for him. So he walked on the front foot, and I changed into civilian clothes on the back foot, picked the fastest horse in the stable, and made a detour to the Guangcheng Tower on Tsing Que Street to wait for him.

After the hour, the army of the expedition insisted on the iron halberd and red tassels, and the mighty soup stepped out of the city gate, and the tiger flag was unfurled, and the momentum was magnificent.

I stood on top of the city wall, in the procession that winded like a dragon, and at a glance I could see the long pole on the green horse. Xuanyi silver armor, black hair high bundle, both handsome and mighty. He stared at the mountains and rivers, not noticing that on the highest tower to his right, a man was looking at him.

"Long pole - long pole - "

After hesitating for a long time, I still couldn't help it, and I still couldn't help but call him.

I raised my hand and beckoned at him desperately, the bell in my hand tinkling as my arm vibrate.

He didn't seem to hear my cries, and the horses' hooves clattered, and he crossed the ten-mile long street, and was about to leave the city.

I hurried to the next floor, and by the time I got up, he was already far out of the gates.

"Changji—"

I shouted at the top of my voice, and at last he heard it, turned his horse's head and came back to look for me, and called for his horse to stop not far from the tower.

Seeing me waving like a fool at the head of the city, he was stunned at first, and then laughed brightly.

He laughed, and so did I.

I shouted at him, "You need to come back early, come back safely."

He replied to me aloud: "I'll come back when the apricot blossoms bloom, and then, we'll go to the western suburbs to play polo, and I'll pick apricot blossoms for you and play sparrows for you."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

When the words fell, he whipped his horse and drove away.

I kept moving my steps to find the best vantage point, but unfortunately the height of the tower was limited, and the army was getting farther and farther away, and I couldn't really see it.

Above the tall buildings, the wind rolls and hunts.

The tip of my nose is pantothenic, and I want to cry again.

——

After the beginning of autumn, the drizzle in Jiankang City continued, and it rained for half a month, and the osmanthus in the yard was beaten by the rain, and the fragrance was not there.

I was lying on the windowsill, holding the letter sent back by Changji in my hand, staring boredly at the falling flowers on the ground. I flipped through this letter several times, and I was about to see through the letter, and I had already seen that I could recite it backwards.

"My wife is safe, and I am fine. The march was tiring, and there was no anecdote on the way, but yesterday I saw two children sharing sweet chestnuts under the chestnut tree. A forest of rain over the rain reed white, half of the wall sparse cloud chestnut yellow. Qinzhou is rich in sweet chestnuts, the fruit is thin, the meat is sweet and tender, I hope that I can pick it when I return home, so I can taste it. Autumn solstice crab fat, crab farmers in the city are busy, the body is cold, don't be greedy for fresh food. The autumn night is heavy, and you love to kick the quilt in your sleep, and before leaving, you have asked the flower to caress her, and ask her to take care of it at night, for fear of catching a cold and suffering from the cold......"

Changji has only been away from Beijing for a month, but I feel like three and five years have passed, and his absence is unusually slow.

The letter arrived this morning, and I couldn't believe it when I first held it in my hand. I think about him all the time, and I have reached the point where I don't know what to eat, and I always hope to get a little news from him, but I think that we have not been separated for a long time, and he has a heavy military career, so how can I have time to write letters to me, so I dare not expect him to send me a letter home, but I never thought that I would expect it.

I was in a hurry to open it, but I used too much force, and I tore the letter in half with the paper and the shell, and finally I could only take a piece of it in one hand and read it.

Changji's letter is not long, and there are more than two pages, but the pen and ink are all used on daily trivial matters, as much as possible to tell me about eating and sleeping, and there are few sentences that are missing.

This person really, finally came to a letter, saying all the things he had repeatedly emphasized before.

When I received the letter, Yu Gui was also present, and she insisted that I reveal what Changji had written to me. I did not shy away from reading the contents of the letter to her word by word to satisfy her curiosity. At the end, Yu Hui made a summary, and sighed that Changji was very affectionate to me, although he did not mention lovesickness and bitterness, but it made people feel that he was tender between the lines.

I rolled my eyes at her and asked her why she had such a humble opinion. She raised her eyebrows and said smugly: "It's obvious, everyone has gone to war, and when they see delicious food, they don't forget to come back to his gluttonous lady, such affection can be seen."

I thought about it carefully, and what Yu Gui said seemed to make a lot of sense. The autumn crab ~ Ganli mentioned in Changji's letter really makes me salivate. Even so, I don't blame him for being wooden.

After reading the letter again, I realized that I missed him even more.

With his hands, he sighed at the rain.

"Why should he cut the candles in the west window together, but when it rains at night in Bashan."

Parting sorrow, I can only empathize with it at this time.

The rain blew into the window and wet half of my letters.

I hurriedly rolled up my sleeves and blotted up the droplets of water on the letter, folded it neatly and put it in a small box, and then carefully hid it in the cupboard.

The kung fu of putting the box, Duobu came in with a dustpan, I locked the cabinet door on one wall, and talked to her on the other: "I don't know how many days this rain will have to fall, endlessly, the sky is not sunny, and the cool swishing is really annoying."

She hummed lukewarmly, as if ignoring me, and I staggered to the window to continue admiring the rain outside the curtain.

Under the eaves squatted a pair of birds sheltering from the rain, snuggling tightly, very affectionate. I pouted and whistled to tease the birds, and the cold wind poured into my throat, causing me to cough violently.

Duobu took the cloak and put it on for me, and I thanked her with a sweet smile, and she bowed her head, leaned over and closed the window, and then took the needle and thread from the dustpan and sewed up the garment without saying a word.

I flattered: "Duobu, your hands are so skillful, this dress is so beautiful."

She didn't look at me, and snorted again.

"Duobu, you are not tired, if you are tired, put down and rest, don't be in a hurry."

"Not tired."

"Then are you thirsty, I'll pour you a glass of water?"

"Not thirsty."

I wrapped myself in a cloak and silently picked up the pastries on the table and nibbled on them, peeking at her from time to time to notice her movements.

For the sake of the lunar eclipse, Duobu has always had a gloomy face these days, no one cares, and he rarely talks to me. I actually didn't blame her, I was afraid that she would be too careful, and I tried not to mention the lunar eclipse in front of her, and only arranged for Hua Fu to secretly send someone to find her in private.

It's also strange to say, the people sent to find the lunar eclipse are dialing again and again, how can they not bring back the slightest clue, if it really returns to Beiqiu, I am afraid that it will fall into the trap of hunters.

Thinking of this, I became more and more sad, the hibiscus cake in my hand suddenly became unfragrant, twisted around, and looked at Duobu making clothes.

Yunkang is happy, it has been three months since she was diagnosed, and the clothes sewn by Duobu are prepared for the child in her belly. Originally, I was going to do it myself, but my female celebrity really couldn't get on the stage, so I gave Duobu a fake hand.

On that day, I went to the East Palace to visit Yu Gui, and I went to see Yunkang by the way, I saw that she was in poor spirits, lost her appetite, and was extremely sleepy, so I thought she was sick, and hurriedly urged her to ask the palace doctor to take a look. But she didn't think so, she still sat upright, and told me not to be nervous.

Seeing that I was in a hurry, she smiled, took my hand and put it on her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and her eyes were full of joy. I seriously touched her belly, it was bulging and hard, and she said that she would move again in another month.

I was so frightened that I let go of my hand, and secretly said that it was not good, and asked her if she had eaten too much and had a bloated stomach, so she was embarrassed to ask the doctor to come and see. She froze for a moment, laughed at me for being sluggish, and then blushed and told me that she was now two people.

I was silent for a moment, and it took me a long time to realize that she was pregnant.

I was surprised and delighted, as if I were a father. I can't believe it, even Yun Xiaowu is about to become a mother, Wu Pingqi got the news, maybe he can be happy.

After the joy, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Yu Gui and I got married earlier than Yunkang, and we were slightly older than her, and now that she is a mother, we still haven't moved.

I have mentioned the issue of heirs to Changji more than once, and I feel that I owe him a debt, but every time he says lightly that this matter is in a hurry, and can only go with the flow. Anping also comforted me not to worry, to take care of my body, the child will always have it.

I pretended not to care on the surface, but in fact, I still longed to have a child, both men and women, and I looked like Changji.

﹉﹉﹉﹉

On the seventh day of the ninth month of the year of the Emperor's reign, it was the day of frost, the sky was very cold, and it was rainy in the city.

I sent the clothes, shoes and socks sewn by Duobu to Yunkang, and by the way, I brought some homemade dried sour plums and apricots, she was seriously happy, and she vomited badly these days.

Yunkang was already thin, she thought that pregnancy would make her eat fatter, and I don't know if her family's food was not good, she was not only not fat but also lost a lot of weight, except for vomiting and sleeping, the whole person looked sad.

I stayed with Yun Kang for half a day, and on my way back, I met Wen Er on Suzaku Street.

She nearly collided with my carriage, lifted the curtain to see that it was me, and invited me to get in the car with a smile.

I wanted to refuse, but the little emperor suddenly came out of the car and called me sister-in-law in a milky voice. The child, who had just turned two, was babbling and babbling, and his voice was soft and glutinous, very pleasant to the ear. As soon as my heart warmed, Wen Er set a trap for me to drill, and I admitted it.

I asked Duobu to rush to the Eagle Pavilion in front of me to wait for me, and without hesitation, he happily got into the car. In the small carriage, Wen Er and I sat opposite each other, unable to speak for a while, only laughing dryly.

The little emperor sat beside his mother obediently, wearing a red jacket and two small buns, like a chubby doll in a New Year's painting, more like the big Ah Fu that Changji gave me. I grinned at him, and he giggled, revealing two pink front teeth, so cute.

I was overjoyed, took out the only two sugar balls left in my purse, handed them to him with both hands as if offering treasures, and said temptingly: "Xiao Qianying, call me sister-in-law again, and this candy will be eaten for you."

Seeing the sugar, the little guy's round and black eyes became brighter and brighter, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he quickly retracted it, shook his head and stumbled and said, "Mother said - sugar, don't eat it, have bad teeth, don't eat sugar-"

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're saying that eating sugar is bad for your teeth, right?"

He nodded vigorously.

I touched his little bun and patiently coaxed: "Xiao Qianying is really sensible, listen to her mother so much." But just eating one candy is out of the way. These sugar balls are delicious, fragrant and sweet, you really don't eat them? ”

He licked his moist lips, then sipped them tightly, obviously wanting to eat, but still trying to endure it.

I sighed and said, "Since you don't eat it, then I'll eat it myself."

I put one in my mouth first, so that the bad one would tell him how delicious the candy was, and then pretended to eat the rest of it. He panicked, and looked at his mother pitifully, as if asking for permission.

Wen Er smiled and nodded, he got permission, and immediately stretched out his little hand to ask me for candy, and called sweetly: "Big stupid, sugar, give sugar to eat-"

The corners of my eyes twitched, and the kid was so excited that he couldn't even spell out the words.

I put the candy into his mouth with tears and laughter, and took him into my arms again, and corrected him softly: "It's the eldest sister-in-law, not stupid, you have to be clear about the words."

He stretched out a small hand and pinched my nose, and Lele Tao said, "Sister-in-law ~ sister-in-law."

The sugar propped up his cheeks, like a mole, and I couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek.

Suddenly remembering that my behavior was inappropriate, he looked at Wen Er with some embarrassment, and snorted: "The little emperor grandson is so likable, I just lost my temper and made you laugh."

The corners of Wen Er's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled: "Where is it, Qianying can be liked by the princess, that is his blessing, and he seems to like you very much, and he is very close to you." On weekdays, except for me and the prince, he doesn't let anyone hug him, let alone kiss him. ”

"Really? Does he really like me? ”

I secretly rejoiced.

"The princess seems to like children."

I looked down at the little emperor and said sincerely: "Who wouldn't like such a whitewashed doll."

Wen Er smiled lightly, and suddenly said: "If this child is extremely long, the princess should like it more."

I was struck by lightning, and my hand shook and I almost threw the child to the ground.

I covered the ears of the little emperor, looked at Wen Er in astonishment, and refuted in a low voice: "Wen Liangdi, you are crazy!" Talking nonsense, don't you know that trouble comes from your mouth? ”
