When Mrs. Qi saw her husband coming, she didn't mean to shut up at all, but stood beside Qi Hou without taking half a step back: "I've seen King Pingnan." ”

"Don't dare."

"I have heard that the prince has only skipped people and is brave and good at fighting, and now it is really extraordinary when I see it." said and looked at Wanxiang: "The style of the school is also incomprehensible to ordinary people." ”

The eyes of Wanxiang standing behind Xiao Huaijin were deep and cold, and Mrs. Qi's words poked Xiao Huaijin and even more so in Wanxiang's heart.

And Xiao Huaijin didn't pay attention to it, and pulled Wanxiang to leave, Wanxiang looked back at Qi Hou: "The new funeral of the prince, the lady is depressed, Qi Hou wants to accompany him more." ”

Qi Hou smiled dryly and waved his hand to Xiao Huaijin: "Congratulations to the prince." ”

Then he sent the two people out of the house, and saw them in the carriage.

The car was getting farther and farther away, and Wanxiang leaned on Xiao Huaijin and couldn't stop sighing: "Listening to Mrs. Qi's speech, it is not difficult to imagine how the prince was criticized some time ago. ”

"We weren't looking at that lady in the first place, so you don't have to care."

"How is the prince chatting with Qi Hou?"

Xiao Huaijin shook his head: "This person can't be used." ”

"It's fine."

"Okay?"

"I kind of know what kind of life this Aunt Lin is living, and I was still thinking about what Aunt Lin should do if Qi Houfu is really lonely one day, and what will happen to Aunt Lin who is being held hostage.

But now it's okay, Mrs. Qi's white-haired person sent the black-haired person, so that she was overly sad and delirious. It makes sense to kill yourself if you can't think about it. ”

Xiao Huaijin naturally heard what Wanxiang was saying, and took Wanxiang's hand and acquiesced to her thoughts.

……

The day is almost dawn, and there is a new mourning in Qi Houfu.

Mrs. Qi was overly sad, so she stuck her own golden hairpin into her throat, and when she found it, the body was already cold. Juanxiang made it neatly, and was sitting in the study drinking tea when she heard the news.

She can stand the world's fingers, but she can't stand others making things difficult for Xiao Huaijin. Therefore, Wanxiang must keep Mrs. Qi shut her mouth forever.

In that Qi Hou Mansion, Aunt Lin can be regarded as able to take a breath, and maybe she will have a chance to be carried into the main room.

And Qi Hou can finally cry for Mrs. Qi's funeral, and by the way, he can secretly pay tribute to his son in troubled waters, and Qi Wei can also be buried in peace.

There was no movement in the South Courtyard, and it was surprisingly quiet, not even a single letter was sent to and from the North Side. The more she was like this, the more Akika felt like the dullness before the rainstorm.

"Son, open the window."

"Huh." Qi'er hurriedly walked over and pushed open the window: "The flowers in the garden are blooming just right, if the princess feels bored, it is better to go for a walk." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the green apricot on the corner of the table and took a bite of it. Wanxiang put down the account book in her hand: "Spring is lazy, I don't want to move." ”

"Lazy in spring, sleepy in autumn, hibernation in summer, napping in summer, and the princess doesn't like to move in all seasons this year."

Wanxiang reached out and took the account book and knocked on Qi'er's forehead: "You." However, it can be quiet for a while. ”

"The princess wants to be idle? Don't even think about it. Qi'er patted the thick stack of account books in front of her: "After reading one, there is still a stack!" ”

Seeing the uncontrollable sigh, Wanxiang shook her head and raised her hand to pull the abacus, listening to the birds chirping outside, Wanxiang felt a strong sense of spring.

Qi'er sat aside and watched blankly: "Originally, I thought that our Pingnan Wangfu was one of the poorest in the imperial city, and I didn't want the prince to have such a family business under his hands."

Even if you look at the account once in a while, it is tiring and half dead. What's worse is that Ji'er can't help much. ”

"You can eat with this mouth, let's talk a lot, I forgot where I counted."

Qi'er looked at her holding Qingxing and smiled stupidly, as if she was watching a joke, and Wanxiang raised her hand and pinched it on her smooth little face: "You will laugh in the future." I instructed the bookkeeper to come over every two days to teach you to read the accounts, and I can't see all the things I can pile up with you. ”

"Don't!" Ji'er slapped the corner of the table anxiously: "I'm just a maid, how can a maid do what the housewife does?" Ji'er didn't dare to trespass, so he couldn't learn. I'm better off learning archery with Liang Cuo. ”

After saying that, the little girl got up and ran out of the house, looking at the goose-yellow figure, Wanxiang smiled helplessly.

Looking down at the account books, the amount is truly staggering.

can recall that in this year, even Xiao Huaijin's food and clothing were very frugal, and the places that could be saved were never extravagant, and even Qi'er mistakenly thought that Pingnan Wangfu was really poor.

So Wanxiang couldn't help but wonder, where did all the silver go?

Just thinking about it in her heart, the little girl ran back again, and Wanxiang picked up the teacup and couldn't help but quip: "Why did you come back?" Want to learn to read accounts? ”

"Not really!" Qi'er happily took out a letter from behind her back and handed it to Wanxiang: "Beixun has a letter!" ”

Wanxiang put down the teacup in her hand and took the letterhead, opened it and read it carefully, her expression became solemn little by little: "You just arrived today?" ”

"Yes, it's delivered quickly."

Aunt Hong did not say anything about her parents in the letter, but told the Wanxiang Su tribe that the Juanxiang Su tribe united with Dayi and led the Northern Cypriot tribe to disturb the border of the Central Plains several times, and even marched into the Central Plains to seize important border towns.

It will take one day for Beixun to send a message to the imperial city, and it will take six or seven days for Beixun to pass the book from Beisai flying pigeon. Wanxiang lowered her head and counted the days, there should be three or two days before the court could get the news.

Thinking about it, he tore up the letterhead and handed it to Qi'er: "Burn it clean." ”

Then he went to Tingyutai alone, without waiting for Xiao Huaijin to come back, and the three of Tingyutai packed up their things and prepared to leave.

Wanxiang stood at the back door to see them off, and Liyunqi still grabbed Wanxiang's hand with some concern: "Or, I'll stay, right?" ”

Wanxiang looked at the child in Ningshuang's arms, raised her eyes and smiled at Liyunqi: "This time is different from the past, and my brother also has something to take care of." Let's go, Aunt Hong will settle everything for you. ”

"According to common sense, the most important person the emperor should send is Bai Xiuzi, not necessarily the prince."

"I also hope that this time I was wrong." Saying that, Wanxiang looked up at the burning sky: "It's not early, hurry up and get on the road." ”

Liyunqi didn't want to leave, but Wanxiang insisted on doing so, so he had to turn around and get on the horse. It's obviously not a dead farewell, but I feel uneasy in my heart.

Wanxiang looked at the carriage in the distance, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, she really hoped that she had guessed wrong this time.

But five days later, Xiao Huaijin returned to the palace with the transfer of troops.

The study is surrounded by warm and mellow sandalwood, and when you smell it, you can see that this fragrance has been stored for decades or even hundreds of years.

Wanxiang sat in front of the window and learned Xiao Huaijin to play chess with herself, and the quiet appearance of sandalwood and Wanxiang complemented each other.

Standing at the door, Xiao Huaijin asked, "Why did you change the spices today?" ”

"Today, I turned over the warehouse to the house, and there are still such good things, so I naturally have to take them out and use them."

Xiao Huaijin sat down beside Wanxiang and held her small hand with her big hand: "You guessed it." ”

Wanxiang pinched the chess pieces and looked up at the relief on the incense burner: "Lord Wang, are you going to Beisai?" ”

"The emperor appointed me as the generalissimo of the expedition to the north, and led 30,000 troops to the border pass to clear the northern plug."

"Thirty thousand?" Wanxiang raised her eyes to look at Xiao Huaijin in a little surprise, but he said, "It's enough." ”

Incense stopper.

30,000 were given, and the Su tribe alone had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. The more murderous the little emperor is, the more it shows that he is afraid of Xiao Huaijin, and he responds to the sentence 'Tigers and wolves are not allowed to sleep peacefully on the couch'.

Regardless of whether Xiao Huaijin is triumphant or not, this deal is not a loss for the little emperor.

"I don't know how long it will take."

Wanxiang chuckled: "It doesn't matter how long you go, this time, I'll be with you." ”

"You're going too?"

"Could it be that the prince thinks I'm in the way?"

Xiao Huaijin held the person in his arms: "How come?" I just don't want you to follow me deep into the land of tigers and wolves. ”

"Don't forget, Lord Wang, I am your secret guard, and I am and still is. If I'm by your side, I'll be less dangerous, won't I? ”

"You must go?"

"You kill the enemy, I beat the drum, you sharpen the knife, I cook. I just don't want to get you out of my sight, I just want to see you okay before I believe you're okay. My brother has settled down, and I am alone, and you are the only one who cares about me. As for its ...... I regret that I didn't take the opportunity to ask for the poisonous woman's life. ”

Wanxiang hugged Xiao Huaijin and leaned on his arms and breathed a long sigh of relief: "But it's okay, just let her live a little longer." When we get back, we'll talk to her about it. ”
