At that time, Jing Ning was sitting in the hall playing chess with Cai Yashan, Cai Yashan's face was not very good, because it was during the national funeral, her marriage with Zhao Heng was dragged back for two months, and she had to go to Concubine Mei's palace almost every day to ask her for peace, but Concubine Mei just said that she was sick, so she had to come to Jing Ning to complain.

"Concubine Mei is really stubborn, what do you say about me? Why does she look down on me? The more Cai Yashan thought about it, the more angry she became, and simply threw the chess pieces in her hand into the chess pot.

Jing Ning's eyelids jumped slightly, it was a chess piece made of fine white water jade, she was reluctant to take it out on weekdays, if it wasn't for Cai Yashan's bad mood today, I am afraid that this chess piece would still be locked in the cabinet.

"Concubine Mei Niangniang acts calmly, but you can't hide your words, she doesn't look down on you, it's just that she can't adapt to your temperament for a while, you don't have to worry, it's okay to take a long time, and this kind of thing can't be forced."

Jing Ning looked at Cai Yashan with a smile, she could roughly understand Concubine Mei's mood, Zhao Heng was a handsome son, gentle as jade, but her sweetheart was a spicy girl, if Concubine Mei was happy, it would be unreasonable.

"It's not long enough, I've seen her before I did the ceremony, don't you know, she never gave me a good look." Cai Yashan supported her chin with both hands, and her distant mountain eyebrows were wrinkled, looking a little more childish.

At this moment, Cai Yashan's eyes lit up slightly, and she shouted loudly: "Cousin! ”

Jing Ning turned his head to look, but it was Zhao Yu who was over there and didn't know what to say to the eunuch. After hearing Cai Yashan's call, Zhao Yu turned his head to look at the two, but his eyes were a little confused, and it took a while for his eyes to become clear. He walked up to the two.

Jing Ning looked at Zhao Yu, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Shan'er, it's better not to make loud noises in the palace." Zhao Yu smiled on his lips, he looked at Jing Ning and nodded to her slightly.

"See the Emperor." Jing Ning reacted and hurriedly got up and saluted Zhao Yu. She always habitually thought that Zhao Yu was still the unruly Second Highness, so she forgot to salute.

"Young lady doesn't have to be polite." Zhao Yu waved his hand lightly, and after Jing Ning got up, he stood silently and did not make a sound.

"Cousin, are you doing well these days? My aunt told me a few days ago that you have lost a lot of money. Cai Yashan asked with a smile.

Zhao Yu was slightly stunned, and didn't seem to realize who Cai Yashan's aunt was, but he quickly laughed.

"I've been busy in the past few days, but the queen mother has bothered, and there are still excerpts to deal with in the imperial study, so I will leave first." As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left, Jing Ning stared at his back, and there was a little doubt in her eyes, why did she think that Zhao Yu seemed to be a few inches shorter?

"Cousin is really strange today, usually if he sees such a chess game, he will definitely play for a while." Cai Yashan furrowed her eyebrows, a little confused in her eyes.

Jing Ning looked at Cai Yashan, and said with a somewhat helpless face: "Now he is already the emperor, although you are his cousin, it is better to change your name to the emperor, if you let Concubine Mei see it, she will definitely be displeased again." ”

Cai Yashan stuck out her tongue when she heard this, and grimaced at Jing Ning. Soon after Zhao Yu left, Cai Yashan went to visit the queen. Jing Ning was bored alone, so he went back to the room to find a book to relieve his boredom.

Just as Jing Ning walked into the room, a figure slammed into her and pressed her against the door, and before Jing Ning could call for help, the man reached out and closed the door.

"Ning'er."

Jing Ning's body, which was still struggling, suddenly stopped moving, and she looked at the tired man in front of her in disbelief, it was Xiao Rin who she was thinking about day and night!

Seeing that Jing Ning was not struggling, Xiao Rin relaxed his strength, and Jing Ning immediately threw herself into his arms and wrapped his waist tightly. Tears flowed silently. Xiao Rin also hugged Jing Ning tightly, he sniffed her hair, and his eyes were a little red.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, you've lost a lot." Xiao Rin's tone was soft, and her words were full of distress and pity.

"I don't think about tea and rice, and I naturally lose weight." Jing Ning buried himself in Xiao Rin's arms and said in a muffled voice.

She didn't expect to see Xiao Rin so suddenly, she originally had a lot of things to say to Xiao Rin, but at this time she just wanted to hug Xiao Rin like this, this warm and solid embrace she had missed for a long time.

The two silently embraced each other for half a cup of tea. Jing Ning suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Why are you here?" How's the border war going? ”

"Rest assured, the Qi State has already had the intention of withdrawing its troops, and the Yi people have also withdrawn from the Guanwai at this time, at most one month, the letter of armistice between the two countries should be able to come down." Xiao Rin explained.

Jing Ning breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, her bright eyes were shining, and there were a few blush on her cheeks.

"It's a felony for you to return to Beijing so suddenly, what if the emperor finds out, since it will be another month at most, wait on, why are you bothering?"

Xiao Rin chuckled, he leaned over to Jing Ning's ear and whispered, "Young lady, really don't know why I suddenly returned to Beijing?" Don't say January, even if it's a day, I don't want to wait any longer. ”

Jing Ning's face turned red when she heard this, she glared at Xiao Rin in shame, and said, "I didn't know that General Xiao also had such an unserious appearance, it was really an eye-opener." ”

"Ning'er, don't underestimate your weight in my heart." Xiao Rin sighed, he gently picked up Jing Ning's face and lightly imprinted a kiss on her forehead.

Xiao Rin didn't know how he survived that time, during the day he arranged his troops and inspected the barracks, trying not to let himself have the slightest time to spare, but at night, his thoughts drowned him like a flood, and the pain he couldn't see made him toss and turn. If it weren't for the fact that the war had not ended, he would have been eager to return to Beijing immediately.

A few days ago, he had a conversation with Li Shangmi, and learned that Chen Zhi was preparing for a truce, and the Yi people had been beaten to the point that he had no power to fight back, so he couldn't suppress the thoughts of Jing Ning in his heart, so he instructed the deputy general, and then embarked on the journey back to Beijing.

Jing Ning sighed slightly, she looked at Xiao Rin distressedly, the border was bitterly cold, the wind and sand were big, she hadn't seen her for a few months, the skin on Xiao Rin's face was much rougher and darker, but his face was more resolute, and it was a little tougher than before. Jing Ning looked at his face carefully, and she couldn't help but stretch out her slender fingers to trace his eyebrows.

Jing Ning didn't know how to describe her mood at this time, there was a little bitterness in her joy, and she couldn't help choking.
