Xu Qing was lying on the bed in the study room, covering herself with a thin quilt and getting ready to sleep. There was no maid to disturb her today.
The army will set out tomorrow, so we should have a good rest tonight.
Just when Xu Qing was about to close his eyes, the door was opened and closed again, and then Xu Qing saw Su Qian walk in and lie down on the bed, huddled in Xu Qing's arms skillfully, and prepared to sleep.
At this moment, Su Qian noticed something was wrong and opened her eyes.
Wrong step again...
Just when Su Qian wanted to get up, Xu Qing, who was lying beside her, hugged her waist and said, "Madam, please sleep here tonight."
Su Qian didn't break away, she just leaned into Xu Qing's arms and rubbed her head: "Yeah."
Xu Qing pressed his chin against Su Qian's head. Since my wife became pregnant, she has become much better behaved than before.
Su Qian closed her eyes and said softly: "My husband is going to set out to suppress bandits tomorrow, so you should be more careful and pay more attention to safety."
Xu Qing said: "Don't worry, there are shadow guards to suppress the bandits. If there is danger, I will definitely hide far away."
Su Qian said: "Why don't I go with my husband? Then I can also protect you."
Xu Qing shook her head quickly: "Don't do it. My wife is pregnant now. She can't follow her husband. Be obedient and stay at home and wait for news about her husband."
If parents in another world knew that their daughter-in-law was pregnant and still running around for him, a social loser, they might be able to time travel and beat themselves up before going back.
Su Qian was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, husband, please remember to pay attention to the news about sister Bing'er when the time comes."
Xu Qing said: "I understand."
While agreeing, Xu Qing hugged Su Qian tightly. There were ice cubes in the ice cube in the room that was used to hold ice in summer. The cold air escaped and she didn't feel hot even if she held her.
After a long time, Su Qian suddenly said: "Husband..."
"Huh?" Xu Qing responded when he heard Su Qian's voice.
Su Qian asked: "Husband, do you still remember the article "Huanxisha Dragon Boat Festival" written in Prince Xian's Mansion in Yongzhou?"
Xu Qing said: "Of course I remember."
Su Qian asked: "Who is the beautiful woman who the husband wrote on the last line of the poem, 'beautiful people meet for a thousand years'? Is she a concubine?"
Xu Qing said: "Of course. The first time I met my wife, I already thought about what my son would be called in the future."
"It turns out that my husband was having bad intentions at that time." Su Qian curled her lips, still vaguely remembering the first day she saw her husband in the county government compound wearing a headcatcher decoration.
"So, what was your husband thinking about our son's name at that time?"
Xu Qing suddenly felt a little embarrassed. What was it called? He just said it, a simple love talk.
But now that the lady really asked, Xu Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "How about calling me Xu Ye?"
Su Qian smiled and said: "Husband is joking again."
Xu Qing said: "Actually, the name Xu Ye is quite good."
Su Qian gently rubbed Xu Qing's chest and said, "Husband, what do you think the world will be like in the future?"
Xu Qing said: "The future world will depend on how long the lady will tell you how long it will take."
Su Qian thought for a while and said, "'It takes a thousand years for a beautiful woman to meet.' Then one thousand years later."
"After a thousand years, I haven't been back for a long time." Xu Qing hugged Su Qian and said, "That will be a truly prosperous age, an unprecedented prosperous age."
Su Qian asked: "This is an unprecedented prosperous age? Can everyone have enough food and clothing? Xuan'er was abandoned by her parents because there was not enough food at home and was picked up by her father."
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "No, at that time we no longer have to worry about food. Having enough food and clothing is no longer a pursuit. We will think about eating well and paying attention to balanced nutrition. If the lady lives in a thousand years, she will miss Bing'er and
When the moon is bright, you can go directly to them."
"Look for it directly?" Su Qian thought for a while and shook her head and said, "No, it's still too far. Even if the official road is smooth, it will still take several months of walking."
Xu Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't take a few months, but two hours is too much."
"Two hours?" Su Qian said: "Even if it takes several months to ride the legendary thousand-mile horse across the north and south of the Central Plains, what my husband said is too far-fetched."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Where can I ride a thousand-mile horse at that time? We will fly directly there in a means of transportation called an airplane. It only takes an hour for the lady to see Mingyue Bing'er."
Su Qian obviously didn't believe it: "My husband is joking again, how can a person fly?"
Xu Qing said: "What's flying? At that time, we can even rush out of this world and take a look at the moon. Then the lady will know that there is no Jade Rabbit or Chang'e on the moon, only ring-shaped mounds of earth."
Su Qian thought for a while and said: "If people can land on the moon, it may be possible to travel across the Zhou and Zhao countries in an hour. If so, is it the gods from the sky who came down to earth to teach mortals the magic of immortality?"
Xu Qing smiled and shook his head and said: "No, that is something called technology. It has nothing to do with gods. It is a miracle created by mortals like us. Even the ability to control the wind and rain and transmit sounds thousands of miles is nothing new."
Su Qian smiled and said: "Actually, I have always been curious. Why is my husband so sure about things that will happen after a thousand years? It's as if I have seen it before."
Xu Qing said in Su Qian's ear: "Because my husband is from a thousand years later. Do you believe me?"
Su Qian curled up her lips and said, "Of course I believe what my husband said, but what is your husband, a man from a thousand years later, doing here?"
In the darkness, Xu Qing pressed his forehead against Su Qian's forehead, and the tip of his nose against Su Qian's, and said, "Come and see Madam, the beauty I have missed for a thousand years."
When Xu Qing told Su Qian what the scene would be like a thousand years from now, Su Qian had already curled up in Xu Qing's arms and fell asleep.
Xu Qing kissed the sleeping Su Qian gently on her forehead: "I really want to join hands with my wife and go back to the world a thousand years later. If my parents knew that their son had found such a beautiful son for them,
My wife will definitely be very happy."
Early morning of the second day
After Xu Qing got up, he covered the sleeping Su Qian with a thin quilt. He needed to attend the court meeting today.
I haven't gotten up so early for a long time, and I'm really not used to it.
In the court
Hundreds of officials stood on both sides.
The Emperor of Chu sat on a high throne, and King Xian sat on a chair beside the Emperor of Chu.
It is rare for the Prince and His Majesty to appear together in the Chu court, so something big must have happened.
Emperor Chu looked at the Minister of Household Affairs and asked: "Zheng Aiqing, are you ready for the preparation of grain and grass?"
The Minister of Household Affairs cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the food and grass are ready. We are just waiting for the army to set off to wipe out the rebels."
Emperor Chu nodded, looked at King Feng, King Xin and King Qi and said: "This time to suppress the bandits, the Forbidden Army and the Shadow Guard will act together. Brother Huang means to choose one of my three princes to go with him for some training. I can't help but
Who do you ministers think is more suitable to go?"
When the civil and military officials heard this, they were immediately shocked. The three princes chose one of them to go. This signal was already very obvious. His Majesty wanted to establish a heir apparent!
And the person who went with the army was the prince!
However, it is not ruled out that His Majesty and the Prince will use this as an excuse to listen to their answers and test whether they are forming cliques for personal gain.
The Sacred Heart is unpredictable!
Those who can go to court and participate in politics naturally have good brains, so all the civil and military officials in the court look at each other and hesitate to explain.
At this moment, Prince Feng said: "Father! My son..."
Emperor Chu looked at Prince Feng, with a smile on his face and said, "Do you want to recommend yourself?"
However, Prince Feng shook his head and said, "Reporting to the emperor, my son and I recommended that our brother, Prince Qi, should go."
