After taking a bath and changing into a clean and tidy moon-white muslin with a faint fragrance of nanmu, Zhao Ling sat on the big kang by the window, picked up the steaming tea in his hand and took a sip gently. Tieguanyin's mellow tea leaves immediately filled the tip of his nose and tongue. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, looking at his wife who was lazily nestled in the pillow opposite, with a comfortable and satisfied look between his eyebrows.

Fu Tingyun looked at it and smiled. His eyes were bright and clear, his gaze was affectionate and focused, and he seemed to see his own shadow reflected in her eyes.

Zhao Ling was heartbroken. Leaned over the kang table and kissed her on the cheek, grabbed her hand and held it tightly, and his voice was as soft as the spring breeze sweeping through the treetops: "How are you doing these days?" ”

He had just returned from night duty in the palace.

"It's good." Fu Tingyun said, instead of muttering that his hand hurt as usual, he raised his hand and kissed him lightly.

That kind of humble attitude made Zhao Ling's heart like a drum, and he felt like he was dreaming. He was a calm and rational person in his bones, his expression was slightly restrained, and he said in a deep voice: "What happened?" ”

"It's fine!" Fu Tingyun tilted his head and looked at him with a smile, his expression was vivid and lively, revealing a little cunning, very playful, "I just want to take a closer look at you!" At the end of the words, she looked at him with a lingering gaze like obsession, and she couldn't help it.

Zhao Ling was a little uneasy.

Of course, he knew that his Ah Yun liked him, but she was also quite self-controlled. And at this time, she is like... It's like a little uncontrollable emotion, and the tenderness is pouring out unscrupulously.

For no reason, it is impossible for a person to suddenly change his temperament... What's more, there have always been faint worries in his heart, afraid that the people of the Fu family will use the mother-daughter relationship to influence her...

Thinking of this, he simply moved to Fu Tingyun and sat down, smiled and leaned over to bring his face to her: "I'll send it to you, let you see enough." ”

The smiling eyes, the doting expression, and the laughing demeanor, for some reason, Fu Tingyun's heart suddenly became sour, and tears fell without warning.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? It was fine just now, but suddenly it became like this, Zhao Ling panicked, and hurriedly hugged Fu Tingyun in his arms, "Obediently, don't cry, don't cry!" I've got everything in my hands! My good girl......" coaxed her lovingly.

But she felt even more heartache, and hugged him so much that he cried.

Zhao Ling didn't ask anything anymore, just gently stroked her back, kissed her sideburns and forehead from time to time, and occasionally muttered a few words to her "obediently...... Under his caresses, Fu Tingyun's emotions gradually calmed down.

She raised her apricot eyes, which were full of tears and swollen like peach pits, and asked him: "You risked losing the emperor's heart and refused to go to Guizhou, is it because of me?" ”

Zhao Ling was stunned.

Fu Tingyun was already coquettish: "Mr. came here a few days ago, and he told me everything. said that someone suggested that the Marquis of Yingchuan and He Fu, the general soldier of Liaodong, be transferred back to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to serve as the Governor, and the emperor did not like it, and when you were on duty that night, the Emperor asked you casually, but you said, "Instead of letting the two immortal generals be transferred back to the Governor's Mansion to serve as the Governor, why not let the two generals change their guards." The emperor's eyes lit up at that time, and this is why Mr. asked you about the plan. Now that the barbarians in Guizhou are in rebellion, the emperor wants to appoint Li Tong, the Marquis of Longping, to go to Guizhou as the general of Pingping, and wants you to go with the expedition, and tell you with great interest, but you politely rejected the emperor on the grounds of talent and virtue......" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but beat Zhao Ling's shoulder, "Fortunately, the emperor is a person who can accommodate the country, if you replace it with someone else, you are afraid that your head has fallen to the ground, do you know?" Tears welled up like springs of water again.

"Nothing, nothing." Zhao Ling hurriedly wiped her tears and said softly, "I know the emperor's personality, he won't take this little thing to heart, he has the people of the country in his heart." Otherwise, the emperor would not be displeased because someone proposed to transfer Yingchuan Marquis and He Fu, who had the merit of the dragon, back to Beijing, and speculated that the emperor wanted to 'fly the birds and hide the bow, and I didn't dare to say that I didn't want to go to Guizhou......"

He said a few days ago that he wanted to go back to Xi'an, but after a few months, he changed his mind, except because she was pregnant and had no elders to take care of her, Fu Tingyun couldn't think of a second reason. Otherwise, Zhao Ling would not have paid attention to everything in her production, and she would be careless everywhere.

Mr. also said that the emperor was very disappointed when he heard this, and muttered to himself, is it because I am not virtuous enough, so there are no virtuous ministers to follow. She was in a cold sweat of fright. Looking at Zhao Ling's disapproving attitude now, it is obvious that Mr. is not alarmist. Fu Tingyun told Zhao Ling about the emperor's muttering.

Zhao Ling hesitated: "Did the emperor really say such a thing? Liansheng is now the head of the Qianqing Palace, serving by the emperor's side every day, if there is such a thing, why didn't he come to give me a message? As he spoke, his expression gradually relaxed, and he comforted her with a smile, "It's probably that Mr. wants you to convince me of the holy will!" ”

Even if it was, it was a great thing, and he didn't care about it at all.

"How dare you say that!" Fu Tingyun said angrily, "Could it be that Mo Yi and the others don't know the emperor's temperament?" Why do they all come to you? ”

She is now pregnant with a child, Zhao Ling is most afraid that she will be angry, and hurriedly said: "Mo Yi was also thrown to Guizhou by the emperor, Lin Chi and them are here to do something for him." There are some things you don't know. The Marquis of Longping is the emperor's cousin. When the emperor was in the palace, he was taken care of by the Marquis of Longping many times, that is, he came to Beijing to attack the lord, and it was also the way for the Marquis of Longping to help him. This time, the emperor sent him to Guizhou, and he had already made it clear to the Marquis of Longping that he would only hang the general of Pingman, and all other affairs would be handled by the chief military officer and the governor, and he would not interfere. ”

Fu Tingyun thought of Tao Mu's expression that day, and believed it a little, and his face softened slightly.

"That being said, we all know that Marquis Longping is indecisive, and likes to point fingers and shirk responsibility, in front of the emperor, he is naturally bowing his head to the ear, but once he is out of Beijing, it is difficult to say." Zhao Ling said, "Mo Yi didn't forget to give me a bite to carry - he said that he couldn't see the face of Marquis Longping, so he asked me to negotiate with Marquis Longping, all the military merits were ours, and he didn't want any of it, he just wanted not to offend this ancestor, finish this battle smoothly, and return to Kyoto safely." After he finished speaking, his tone paused, and said, "That gentleman is comparable to Zhang Yi and Su Qin, don't talk about you, even those pavilion elders and Hanlin have met them, and they are only speechless." Since he came to the door, I think you have promised him..." He couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said with some regret, "I didn't want you to worry, but who knew that it would make you unhappy in the end." Now the only way to do this is to ask your mother-in-law to come and take care of you..." But when I think of Mrs. Fu's body... Zhao Ling was worried again.

Fu Tingyun's dissatisfied cold snort came from her ears: "I'm not the foolish woman who doesn't know how to respect her husband," she squinted at Zhao Ling, "How can a manly husband act in a woman's inner courtyard of the deep mansion!" Sir came to talk to me about this on purpose, and I was afraid that I would have already made up my mind to persuade you to change your mind, so how could I let him get his way? ”

A woman giving birth to a child is like going through a ghost door.

Although the opportunity is rare, Zhao Ling really doesn't want to leave at this time - if Fu Tingyun and the child have three long and two short, he has made an immortal achievement, and who in this world will share it with him?

He was overjoyed when he heard this, and his eyebrows and eyes flew: "You mean..."

"I listened to my husband's words, so I naturally asked him to help me with trepidation." Fu Tingyun glanced at Zhao Ling sideways, and told Zhao Ling about the conversation with Mr.: "I said, you and my husband went all the way from Huguang to Kyoto, my husband is a straightforward character, others don't know, you are a military advisor, you know best." My husband did not deliberately disobey the emperor, most of them were unintentional, and asked Mr. to defend my husband in front of the emperor, and begged the emperor not to punish him... And he said, Let me persuade thee as well.

"I naturally agreed, saying that Empress Gaozu Renxiao Ciyi had written in the "Women's Training", 'The husband has evil things, and he advises him sincerely', and now that the husband has disobeyed the emperor, I also have the responsibility to persuade him diligently, please rest assured. As for whether to go to Guizhou or not, Empress Gaozu Renxiao Ciyi also wrote in "Women's Training", "The husband has words, listen carefully", I am a woman, I only know weaving and spinning, boiling water and decoction, this is related to the future of the husband, but it is not something I can say more......"

"Well answered." Before her words fell, Zhao Ling had already praised loudly, laughed and kissed her tender face several times.

On the basis of Empress Gaozu Renxiao Ciyi, she not only saved her reputation, but also politely rejected the request.

"Crazy again!" Fu Tingyun smiled, pretending to be displeased and pushing him, "Be careful to press the child." ”

Zhao Ling smiled and moved half an inch.

Fu Tingyun's face suddenly turned cold, and said: "Mo Yi came to persuade you, you didn't change your mind, Lin Chi and Tao Mu came to persuade you, and you didn't change your mind." Why did the Ninth Master change his mind as soon as Mr. came to me and said it? If outsiders know this, how can the Nine Masters and the woman stand on top of the temple? The gentleman's mind is good, but this method is not right. ”

Zhao Ling nodded again and again: "Exactly, exactly." Then he praised Fu Tingyun, "No wonder I heard those elders say when I was a child, if there is a good wife in the family, if there is a treasure." You're really our baby. Seeing that Fu Tingyun's eyebrows were still a little gloomy, he teased her, "However, this is not to blame Mr., everyone knows that I am afraid of internal ......."

As soon as his words came out, Fu Tingyun's coquettish voice was exchanged: "What do you mean by 'everyone knows that I am afraid of guilt,'" What exactly did you say to someone? I wondered why my husband suddenly wanted to see me...... It turned out that you were talking nonsense outside! ”

"No, no. Absolutely nothing. Zhao Ling waved his hand, and suddenly felt like he had stabbed a hornet's nest.
