It's close to Unity time.
As the sun sets.
Located in the east of Juyang City, between mountains and rivers, Prince Yan's residence is surrounded by red clouds in the sky.
In a daze, it was as if a fairyland had accidentally fallen into the mortal world.
Fairyland on Earth, inside the Changchun Palace.
Princess Yan, wearing a snow-white cloak and holding an auspicious beast heater in her hand, walked slowly in the huge Changchun Palace.
His eyes, like a pool of autumn water, floated outside the Changchun Hall where the door was half-open from time to time.
I do not know how long it has been.
Wang Qiujin paused again and looked at the personal maid standing at the door of the palace.
"Tan'er."
"Can you see the prince's figure?"
Wang Qiujin gradually looked past Tan'er, who was standing at the door of the palace, and looked outside the Changchun Palace, which was mostly covered by the door, and asked softly.
Upon hearing this, Tan'er quickly stuck out her head and looked outside the Changchun Palace.
When I saw that outside the Changchun Palace, there was nothing but the cold wind.
Tan'er quickly retracted her mind, bowed and saluted, "Back to the princess, but the prince is nowhere to be seen."
When Wang Qiujin heard this, she didn't know whether it was disappointment or something else. She said softly "Oh" and then slowly walked towards the top position of the main hall of Changchun Hall.
Xu Yi slowly took a seat on the warm chair specially made for him.
As the saying goes, "Returning to one's heart is like an arrow; returning to one's heart is like an arrow."
As everyone knows, the expectations of the person who is returning home are not even the slightest bit worse than the hope of the person who is returning home.
The time passes quietly and silently.
The people on the warm chairs in the main hall of Changchun Palace also fell asleep again in the endless waiting.
I do not know how long it has been.
In his sleep, Wang Qiujin seemed to hear two particularly familiar voices.
One voice is his magnetic voice that is so familiar that it is no longer familiar.
The other was a childish voice that he had not heard for more than half a year.
Suddenly heard this sound.
Wang Qiujin felt happy for a moment.
However, just when he was about to get up and greet him with joy.
However, he suddenly discovered that no matter how hard he tried, his thin eyelids could not open even a little bit.
Under the sudden change, Wang Qiujin panicked and wanted to get up directly.
However, no matter how hard he tries or how hard he struggles.
His body never moved at all.
See this.
Wang Qiujin couldn't help but become more and more panicked.
Her mind couldn't help but think of her unborn child.
at the same time.
The two unusually familiar voices outside Changchun Palace gradually became clearer.
…
…
"Brother, is this the house where you and your sister live?"
"It's so big and beautiful."
Outside Changchun Hall.
Wang Qiu'an raised his head and looked down at the huge Changchun Hall under the sunset, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, Qiu An, please walk faster, sister is still waiting for us in the palace."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then silently quickened his pace.
Do not know why.
At this moment, Xu Yi felt a little uneasy in his heart.
In just over ten breaths of time.
Xu Yi had already left the Wang family thirty or forty steps behind him.
Everyone in the Wang family, young and old, looked at each other in shock.
In their inherent impression, Xu Yi has always been unchangeable despite the collapse of Mount Tai.
In daily life, no matter what he says or does, or how he behaves, he gives people a feeling of spring breeze.
The whole Wang family, young and old, have been associated with Xu Yi since the Guanzhong disaster relief work, and it has been a long time since then.
He has never seen Xu Yi in such a "stormy" state.
For a while.
The doubtful Wang family members could not help but silently speed up their steps.
step.
…
…
"My slave, I pay my respects to the prince."
In front of the Changchun Palace.
Seeing Xu Yi walking quickly, Tan'er hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Where's the princess?"
After Xu Yi asked, without stopping at all, he immediately strode past Tan'er and walked quickly towards the palace.
Fang Yi entered the main hall.
All he could see was Wang Qiujin, who was leaning on the warm chair and sleeping drowsily.
Xu Yi's expression changed slightly when he saw this, and then he quickly rushed towards Wang Qiujin.
It is said to be a quick walk, but in fact it is no different from a trot.
Fang Yi approached Wang Qiujin before he could speak.
Wang Qiujin, who was sleeping drowsily on the warm chair, suddenly opened her eyes.
Two lines of clear tears surged out of his eyes like bursting dams.
"Husband, I almost never see you again..."
Wang Qiujin quickly stood up from the warm chair, then hugged Xu Yi's neck tightly with her arms, and spoke slowly with tears streaming down her face.
"Qiu Jin doesn't cry. My husband is here. My husband is always here."
Xu Yi gently rubbed Wang Qiujin's hair.
Then he ignored the young and old members of the Wang family who had already entered the Changchun Palace.
And the female officer Tan'er, who was kneeling in the hall with a frightened face but did not dare to say anything.
She deeply held the tearful Wang Qiujin tightly into her arms.
After a while.
After Wang Qiujin's mood has completely stabilized.
Xu Yi just slowly opened his mouth and asked softly: "What happened? Qiu Jin slowly said whether you are okay with your husband."
"Yeah." Wang Qiujin nodded lightly when he heard this.
Then she slowly said, "I don't know what happened. Ever since my husband left the house, I have been waiting in the main hall for my husband to return."
"Later, I saw that my husband had not returned home for a long time, and I felt trapped."
"So, I went to take a nap on the warm chair my husband made."
"There was nothing unusual about it at first."
"Later, I heard the voices of my husband and Qiu An in a daze."
"I just want to get up and greet you."
"However, no matter how hard I try and how hard I struggle, I still can't open my eyes."
"My hands and legs are as heavy as a thousand pounds. No matter how hard I try, I can't shake them at all."
"Later, for some reason, as soon as my husband arrived, the heavy burden on me disappeared instantly."
The words are over.
Wang Qiujin stroked her heart with lingering fear, as if she still hadn't completely recovered from the panic and despair.
After counting the interest.
Wang Qiujin slowly raised her head to look at the person in front of her, and murmured in a low voice: "My husband doesn't know, but I was really scared at that time, so scared."
"I'm afraid I'll never be able to open my eyes and look at my husband again in this life."
"I'm afraid of the child in my belly..."
Don't wait for Wang Qiujin to finish speaking.
Xu Yi gently used force to hold Wang Qiujin deeply in his arms again.
"Don't be afraid, Qiu Jin, your husband is always here."
"Qiu Jin can watch it whenever she wants."
Xu Yi hugged the person in his arms deeply and whispered softly into his ear.
What Wang Qiujin experienced just now, Xu Yi also experienced.
Even not counting past lives, he has experienced it several times in this life alone.
Therefore, he deeply understands how hopeless it is to feel like he wants to wake up but can't, and wants to move but can't.
To put it more precisely, that feeling is a nightmare.
If you are talking about superstition and belief, then it is deception.
Perhaps Xu Yi's arms were too warm.
Maybe Xu Yi's words were too heart-warming.
Gradually, gradually, Wang Qiujin finally came out of despair.
"Husband."
Wang Qiujin felt the calming scent of soap locust coming from her nose and murmured in a low voice.
The words trailed off.
Wang Qiujin seemed to suddenly realize something.
He quickly turned his head and looked into the hall.
At this glance, Wang Qiujin's originally white cheeks instantly became as gorgeous as the red clouds outside the palace.
"Husband, my parents, grandpa, uncles and aunts are all here. Let me go quickly."
Wang Qiujin blushed and turned her head to the side, speaking quickly in a low voice.
The voice that was mixed with shyness, panic, and embarrassment was slightly trembling without even realizing it.
Xu Yi smiled when he heard this, and then gently let go of Wang Qiujin, who was blushing in his arms.
Slowly walked down to the top of the main hall.
"My son-in-law has recently acquired two taels of Phoenix Danconong. The old man, Taishan, and my second uncle may wish to follow my son-in-law to the side hall tearoom to taste them."
Xu Yi walked slowly to Wang Wenqing and others, bowed his hands slightly and saluted.
"This old man has only heard the name of Phoenix Dancong in his life, but he has never been lucky enough to taste it."
"Today I have the audacity to take advantage of the prince's glory."
Mr. Wang returned the greeting with a smile and cupped his hands.
"Old man please, Taishan please, second uncle please."
Xu Yi smiled and then extended his hand to say goodbye.
After counting the interest.
The men of the Wang family followed Xu Yi slowly towards the side hall teahouse.
Before departure.
Xu Yi glanced at the female officer Tan'er who was kneeling on the ground with a look of fear on her face.
The female officer Tan'er was also an agitated person. When she saw this, she felt as if she had been granted amnesty, and then quickly calmed down her emotions.
Only after Xu Yi and all the male members of the Wang family disappeared behind the main hall.
He quickly stood up and met Mrs. Wang and other female relatives.
Mrs. Wang couldn't hide her joy, and slowly greeted the female officer Tan'er with a smile on her lips.
From the scene in the main hall just now, anyone with a clear eye can easily see that the love between husband and wife mentioned in Wang Qiujin's family book is not a word of comfort.
For a mother, what could be more satisfying than seeing her daughter truly happy?
As for the "concubinage" and "deviation" issues that I worried about during the journey.
After understanding the weight of the blue book written by her husband who forgot all about food and sleep, and seeing with her own eyes the love between her daughter and her husband.
All the worries disappeared in an instant.
For a time, Wang Qiujin, who should have been the center of attention, gradually became an insignificant figure under the deliberate forgetfulness of everyone.
When Wang Qiujin saw this, she couldn't help but feel relieved. She hurriedly lifted up her skirt and slipped out of the main hall of Changchun Hall quietly.
Until a quarter of an hour later.
After gathering her emotions, Wang Qiujin slowly appeared in the main hall of Changchun Palace again.
This night.
The main hall of Changchun Hall is destined to be a night of fun and enjoyment between the host and the guest.
...
...
Halfway through the Xu hour.
As the night gets darker.
The banquet where the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves happily in the main hall of Changchun Palace finally dispersed.
After the figures of the Wang family, old and young, completely disappeared into the thick night outside the outer palace.
Xu Yi suddenly felt relaxed physically and mentally.
Then he slowly turned around and walked towards the harem.
With the arrival of the Wang family, young and old.
Xu Yi's only bond with Chang'an City was Jin Wang Xu Zhen.
Wait until chaos breaks out in the world.
Xu Yi will use a plan to make Xu Zhen leave Beijing.
After Xu Zhen leaves Beijing.
The entire city of Chang'an will no longer have its fetters.
At that time, you can truly enjoy the sky high and the sea as you wish!
And with the arrival of Wang Wenqing and Wang Wenlian.
Xu Yiyu governs one
On the road, two more generals will be added.
Especially Wang Wenqing, who was one of the net holders chosen by Xu Yi himself.
"After the wedding, let's completely smash the last stumbling block."
Xu Yi, who was walking in the long corridor, paused slightly, slowly raised his head and looked at the direction of Yuyang County, murmuring secretly in his heart.
The words are over.
Xu Yi slowly walked through the long corridor and walked outside the Changchun Hall again.
"My slave, I pay my respects to the prince."
"I hope the prince will punish this servant for his oversight."
Xu Yifang and his party arrived in front of the Changchun Palace.
The female official Tan'er, who had been waiting in front of the palace gate for a long time, knelt down beside Xu Yi.
Xu Yi paused for a moment before answering, "Has the princess fallen asleep?"
Tan'er was slightly startled when he heard this, and then quickly replied: "Back to the prince, the princess has already gone to bed."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then slowly asked: "Has the princess punished you?"
Tan'er was stunned again when he heard this, and then replied truthfully: "Back to the prince, the princess did not punish the slave."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then slowly walked past the female officer Tan'er who was kneeling on the ground, and walked slowly towards the dormitory.
"Get up, the princess is the master of the harem, and in the harem, the princess's words are my own words."
"After daybreak, don't forget to go to the good doctor's office to find Dr. Sun and find some soothing things for the princess."
Xu Yi slowly opened his mouth and gave instructions while moving forward slowly.
After hearing this, the female officer Tan'er finally calmed down after having been anxious for an hour or two.
"This servant kneels down to thank the prince for his great kindness, and kneels down to thank the princess for her great kindness."
The female officer Tan'er slowly moved her knees and bowed deeply towards the direction where Xu Yi's figure gradually disappeared.
...
...
The night is getting darker.
The residence of Prince Yan, located in the east of Juyang City, between mountains and rivers, gradually returned to calm in the thick night.
And it is located in the ancestral residence of the Zhu family in the south of Juyang City.
A family banquet with only a dozen people just kicked off.
The ancestral residence of the Zhu family, in Dexing Hall.
Mr. Zhu Huaimin was sitting on the main seat with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was sleeping soundly, or just closing his eyes to rest his mind.
In front of him, there seemed to be a huge dining table that could accommodate more than ten people at the same time.
At this time, all the seats on the large dining table were full except for the one at the head and the one at the end who was temporarily vacant.
Everyone sitting at the dinner table had white hair on their heads.
As the eldest grandson of the Zhu family, Zhu Zongting could not even get a seat at the table in Dexing Hall.
He had to stand outside the round table, and from time to time he would carry a wine bottle or teapot and wander outside the round table.
As for Zhu Zongnian, who has become a famous figure in the Zhu family...
Today, he has not even qualified to enter Dexing Hall.
One can imagine how high the standard of this late-night Zhu family dinner was.
About Hai time.
Suddenly, there were several footsteps outside the quiet Dexing Hall.
Zhu Zongting was holding a teapot and pouring tea for an elder. The moment he heard the footsteps again, he couldn't help but quickly looked outside Dexing Hall.
I saw the second uncle who was in charge of nearly half of the family's business in the past, holding a lantern and silently leading the way with his back slightly bent.
A middle-aged man wearing a lavender official robe walked calmly and calmly under the candlelight.
When Zhu Zongting saw this, his face condensed slightly, and then he temporarily handed the teapot in his hand to the maid aside.
"My son, Zongting, pay homage to your father."
Zhu Zongting quickly walked forward to the middle-aged man wearing a lavender official robe, then bowed deeply and bowed.
The middle-aged man wearing a lavender official robe is not someone else.
It seems that he is Zhu Guangli, the contemporary head of the Zhu family in Shanggu and the current county governor in charge of life and death in Yunzhong County.
"Um.
"
Zhu Guangli nodded slightly, then slowly walked past Zhu Zongting towards Dexing Hall.
After more than ten breaths.
Zhu Guangli stood in front of the main entrance of Dexing Hall and bowed deeply to Zhu Huaimin who was sitting at the top.
"I am not a filial son. I come late at night and make my father wait for a long time. Please punish me."
Zhu Guangli bowed deeply and then slowly opened his mouth to accept the punishment.
"The snow will melt and the road will be difficult to travel, so avoid it."
Zhu Huaimin slowly opened his eyes, then waved his hands slightly.
"It's unfilial etiquette to thank your father."
Zhu Guangli bowed deeply once again, and then slowly stood up.
The words are over.
Zhu Guangli took a step forward and entered the threshold of Dexing Hall.
Then, facing the elders at the round table, he slowly raised his hands and saluted: "Li, I have met all the clan elders and uncles."
"The ceremony came late at night, so all the clan elders and uncles have been waiting for a long time."
"It's really a violation of etiquette. I will be punished by drinking three glasses of wine later. I hope all the clan elders and uncles will understand me."
As soon as this statement came out.
All the elders and uncles of the Zhu family laughed and started laughing.
Don't say that Zhu Guangli is the contemporary head of the Zhu family.
So what if he is not the head of the Zhu family?
Just by holding the post of county governor, he could surpass all the elders and uncles of the Zhu family.
After more than a hundred breaths.
Amidst the greetings and excuses among the elders and uncles of the Zhu family, Zhu Guangli slowly walked towards the second seat next to Zhu Huaimin that had been vacant for half the night.
Wait until he and the second seat are completely seated.
Zhu Huaimin, who was sitting on the main seat, clapped his hands gently.
Tens of breaths later.
One after another, the maids of Zhu Mansion, who were dressed in thin clothes and showed their exquisite beauty, slowly walked into Dexing Hall carrying plate after plate of delicacies.
Of course.
In the entire Dexing Hall, there are more than ten elders who either have great power or great reputation among the Shanggu Zhu family.
No one paid attention to the maids who were dressed in thin clothes and showed their exquisite beauty, or to the delicacies of the mountains and seas that were full of color, fragrance and taste.
The so-called family banquet always emphasizes not the word "feast", but the word "family".
The same is true for tonight's Zhu Mansion family banquet.
