I made a mistake in posting the timing, which resulted in the chapters being out of order, so I simply posted the content from the next two days together.
"Husband...don't..."
After Liu Huixiang was picked up by Princess Su Xianda Heng, she immediately realized her husband's intention.
Although the carriage is big, but...how can it be done on the road? This was hard for her to accept. There were so many people outside the carriage!
She regretted very much that she shouldn't have said "get back to the carriage" just now.
Not only did it not make the husband serious, but it also reminded him...
"What are you talking about, madam? Please speak louder so that I can't hear you." Su Xian grinned.
Liu Huixiang was hugged horizontally, and she could no longer get close to whisper like before, and she didn't dare to raise her voice because there were so many "light bulbs" around her.
But if she let her husband succeed like this, she would be a little unwilling... What should she do?
Suddenly, she had an idea. She hooked her hands around Su Xian's neck and exerted force, intending to bring the two of them closer so that they could whisper.
However, she overestimated herself.
Her arms were really too thin and couldn't support her own weight.
After struggling for a long time, she was still held horizontally...
"Madam, why do you always tickle your husband's neck?" Su Xian looked at her and smiled.
"Husband, can you let me down?" Liu Huixiang was completely discouraged and could only blame herself for being useless.
"Okay!" Su Xian replied.
Liu Huixiang was immediately overjoyed... However, she soon became speechless.
Because when Su Xian said "good", he meant that he put her down after getting on the carriage.
"Husband, after we return home... will you be okay?"
In the carriage, Liu Huixiang asked softly.
"Madam, don't you miss being your husband?"
"Of course I want to...but...there are many people outside, and they will be...will be heard!"
"Don't worry, once the convoy starts moving, there will be a lot of noise. The sound of horses' hooves, wheels, and whips will be heard."
"But……"
"If Madam is still worried, you might as well call the embroiderer in and let her sing beside you."
"no!"
"..."
Ancient carriages had no shock absorbers and the roads were bumpy.
This resulted in a shock on the way back to the divine capital.
…
Thirty miles is not a long journey.
It didn’t feel like much time had passed, but God was already far away.
"Senior brother, the Minister of the Sixth Ministry, the Young Master of the Criminal and Prison Department, and others are waiting at the official road. They want to see my senior brother."
Zhou Wei's voice came from outside the carriage.
Su Xian was sitting in the carriage, leaning against Liu Huixiang, whose face was flushed as if it could drip blood, and replied impatiently:
"I am very grateful that they can go out of the city to welcome her, but my wife is not feeling well at home, and I am anxious to rush home to visit."
"Junior brother, please apologize to them on my behalf. I will definitely visit them in the future."
"okay."
The convoy continued on its way.
In the carriage.
Su Xian gently held Liu Huixiang's waist and said with a playful smile:
"At the beginning, Madam said no, and strongly opposed it, but just now..."
"Who is it that clings to my husband?"
Liu Huixiang's delicate face turned a little redder. She lowered her head and did not dare to look into Su Xian's eyes, muttering:
"It's not my husband who did it, I'm so embarrassed!"
Su Xian smiled and said:
"Madam, we just got a taste of it. Sister Wan is still sick at home. My husband must rush back as soon as possible."
"After I've seen Wanmei and made sure Wanmei is fine, tonight... it's going to be hard for Madam."
Liu Huixiang slowly raised her head, with infinite tenderness in her watery eyes: "No matter what your husband wants to do, I... am willing to do it!"
"You are such a good lady to me!"
Su Xian liked her gentle and considerate nature, it was so addictive.
For example, if it were Tang Shuwan's place, she would definitely not comply with what happened just now.
Of course, Tang Shuwan is also better than Tang Shuwan, so we cannot generalize...
Shendu City is rather strange. There is no city gate on the west side, and there is only a gate leading directly to the imperial city on the north side. Although there is a city gate on the east side, there is a cemetery outside the city gate.
Only the southern city gate is the main passage for officials and citizens to enter and exit, and the world-famous "Heaven Street" is located here.
Su Xian was eager to return home. Judging from the terrain, it would be more convenient to go to the imperial city gate in the north.
But if he passes through the Imperial City, the Queen will definitely catch him and chat with him.
He was eager to see Tang Shuwan now, and after much calculation, it was faster to go to the east gate.
Unexpectedly, just as the carriage was preparing to enter the city, Zhou Wei shouted from outside: "Senior brother, Her Majesty the Queen has sent a female officer to wait in front of the city gate, saying that she is inviting senior brother to enter the palace."
"Female officer? Nangong Secretary?"
"no."
"Then there is no need to stop. The carriage goes directly into the city. You tell the female official that my wife is sick and I must go back to the palace immediately. I will go to the palace later to apologize."
"okay!"
"..."
After the carriage entered the city, after traveling for a while, Zhou Wei's voice came from outside again:
"Senior brother..."
"Who is it this time? No matter who it is, I politely declined. Don't stop the carriage." Su Xian was slightly unhappy.
"It's your father-in-law Tang Ju."
"What! It's my father-in-law. Stop the car quickly."
Su Xian got out of the carriage, and as soon as his feet landed on the ground, he saw Tang Ju walking over, smiling and bowing: "I'm going to pay my respects to the Taiwei!"
"Why are you so polite? Please get up quickly." Su Xian returned the greeting and then helped him up with his own hands.
"On formal occasions, the proper etiquette must not be broken, even for relatives." Tang Ju said with a serious look.
"But this is not a formal occasion!" Su Xian put his arm around Tang Ju's shoulders and asked with a smile: "Are you two elders in good health? During the time when Xiaoxu is no longer here, everyone in the court should be fine, right?"
"so far so good……"
Tang Ju was somewhat resistant to Su Xian's enthusiasm. He was the governor of the Henan government office, and Su Xian was the prince of the dynasty. The two of them were walking shoulder to shoulder on the street...not good.
But Tang Ju didn't say anything. The Su Xian now was no longer the Su Xian in Yingzhou, so he had no choice but to endure such innocuous questions.
"The good son-in-law is going back home?" Tang Ju shook his head.
"good."
"Didn't Your Majesty send someone to invite you into the palace?"
"I did meet him, but my son-in-law declined."
"What...Xianxiu, you..."
Tang Ju looked shocked. How dare Su Xian decline the Queen's invitation? Isn't this too bold?
But soon, he realized that with Su Xian's current position of power, it should be fine once or twice.
Then he thought that the virtuous son-in-law was not an unreasonable person. The reason why the virtuous son-in-law insisted on returning to the palace despite the empress's invitation must be because something serious had happened in the palace.
However, Su Xian said: "There is indeed something serious, Wan'er is sick!"
"What? Wan'er is sick? Why didn't I know?"
Your daughter is menstruating... Of course Su Xian wouldn't say that. He just made an insinuation: "Women, there are always a few days of discomfort every month."
"I see……"
Tang Ju had a look of surprise on his face, and then he was stunned: "What did you say, my dear son-in-law? Just because of this... you declined His Majesty's invitation?"
"This Wan'er is getting more and more outrageous. She actually delays your important work, my virtuous son-in-law, because of such a trivial matter. Don't worry, virtuous son-in-law, I will go and talk to her personally in the future!"
Su Xian waved his hands repeatedly: "Father-in-law misunderstood. This is my own decision and has nothing to do with Wan'er."
