It's the third update and Xu Jing hasn't come back yet.
Zhao Xiyan took a nap on the bed for a while, and was woken up by the sound of a wake-up call. Looking at the empty pillow beside her, she couldn't help but frown.
What happened in Mingyue Palace was like pouring a bowl of water into a frying pan, almost exploding the pan.
The news spread very fast, and it spread throughout the capital in just half a month... Of course, the scope of the spread was limited to the top official circles. Those middle and low-level officials east of the fourth rank were not qualified to know.
Zhao Xiyan naturally knew it very well. Because of this, for most of the month, he was frightened and found it difficult to rest at ease.
The prince survived the calamity of death on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The prince made a suggestion to Emperor Yongming and requested that Xu Jing be made the emperor's younger brother.
Not only was it different from her previous life, it was an earth-shaking change. Whether or not this happened would cause drastic changes in her and Xu Jing's lives...
Yuhan stayed awake and stayed by the bed. When she saw Zhao Xiyan opened her eyes and was speechless, she knew that her master was worried, so she comforted her in a low voice: "The Crown Princess is pregnant, so it is not appropriate to worry too much. The servant expected that the Crown Prince would be pregnant."
I will not stay in the palace at night, and will definitely return to the palace. Why don’t you, Crown Princess, sleep a little longer?"
Zhao Xiyan came back to her senses and smiled helplessly: "He can't sleep, help him up! Let the kitchen prepare supper while he waits for the prince to return home."
Hosta responded, exited the door and ordered to go east.
At this moment, a familiar slender figure strode over.
Hosta's eyes lit up and she went forward to salute. Xu Jing was full of thoughts, nodded slightly, and quickly entered the dormitory.
When Zhao Xiyan heard the familiar footsteps, her heart suddenly felt peaceful. Donglai greeted her with a smile: "Brother Chunsheng, I am finally back. He has been waiting for me in the bright moon."
Crescent Moon's sister's smile is nothing but a miracle.
Xu Jing's heart felt hot, and his restless mood instantly calmed down. He walked forward, stretched his legs and arms, and hugged Zhao Xiyan into his arms.
Since Zhao Xiyan became pregnant, he has been very restrained in holding her, much more gently than before, for fear of hurting the child.
Zhao Xiyan leaned her forehead against his, comforting him as she had done when she was a child: "Brother Chunsheng, don't be afraid. Whenever, wherever, and whatever happened to Bulong, he would stand side by side with me and face our mistakes together."
Xu Jing hummed, moved his lips towards hers, and kissed her lips.
That kiss was not passionate or greedy. Zhao Xiyan responded gently, giving him the greatest comfort.
After a while, Xu Jing raised his head and whispered: "Do I know everything that happened in the palace?"
Zhao Xiyan hummed: "As soon as Zhou Shangshu left the palace, he sent someone to deliver the news."
"They are all old foxes." Xu Jing murmured; "I don't know. When my cousin asked me to make him the crown prince, the first one who jumped out to contradict me was Zhou Shangshu."
It turned out that as soon as he left the palace, he sent someone to deliver news to Zhao Xiyan.
Zhao Xiyan chuckled lightly: "That matter is very uncertain. In front of the emperor, the empress and the prince, of course Zhou Shangshu must show his loyalty."
"If I become the crown prince, my eldest sister will become the eldest princess in the next month, and the Zhou family will become relatives in the Eastern Capital. Wouldn't Zhou Shangshu not be willing?"
"He who has attained the Tao will be more helpful. Zhou Shangshu is willing to support me. No matter how good I am, Wu Anbo and his eldest uncle will also stand by me."
"Bu Nao, that's very original."
Xu Jing stepped back slightly and looked at Zhao Xiyan: "The person who truly fully supports him is Prince Fu."
We are worthy of being the childhood sweethearts we grew up with.
With Xu Jing's short words and a complicated look in his eyes, Zhao Xiyan had already guessed the truth that others could hardly imagine: "Is the prince doing that because he has a heart attack and knows that he will not have much time to live?"
"It should be more than that. There are two concubines of the crown prince in the East Palace. Whoever gives birth to a son of the East can have a grandson. Why is the prince so eager to promote me in front of everyone? Unless the prince knows that he will never have it.
Heirs."
At that point, Zhao Xiyan paused and suddenly realized: "No wonder the prince suddenly decided to marry Su Huan and Murong Yan. In fact, both of them are not shields, so they can just show off in the East Palace!
"
Xu Jing: "..."
Xu Jing couldn't help scratching his head: "He promised his cousin that he would keep his secret."
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled: "He guessed that by himself, and I didn't say anything. If Prince Fu asks you about it in the future, I can answer it confidently."
Okay! That’s it.
Xu Jing quickly forgave himself and whispered to Zhao Xiyan: "My cousin will be confided in with him tomorrow night. He can't tell me everything. I'm afraid the confinement period will be difficult in the future. I beg you to be mentally prepared."
.”
Zhao Xiyan smiled faintly: "No matter how hard it is, it is better than being forced to raise an army and plot a rebellion. Don't say that I am the prince of the vassal, and it is extremely dangerous for the prince to fight for the throne. Now the prince fully supports me.
, the Empress is right, the DPRK is very helpful, and it’s already a great start.”
"Brother Chunsheng, don't worry about him. He can withstand wind and rain. No matter what the weather, he will always advance and retreat with me."
Xu Jing felt hot in his heart and hugged his newlywed wife tightly; "Okay, they will work together as a couple."
The two of them cuddled together for a moment, and then continued to whisper after their emotions calmed down.
"He had to get up early in the morning and go to the palace to accompany his cousin. When his cousin gets better, he will go to the military camp. Only now does he understand the painstaking efforts of his cousin. To establish a new army, he should be rejected from the beginning."
When there are soldiers and generals in the legs, one can stand steadily and act with confidence.
Zhao Xiyan reminded in a low voice: "I beg you to pay special attention to the princes of the feudal lords. Those good things will be done to me. If it were him, he would not be convinced. At least he can secretly use his legs to help me."
A stumbling block."
Xu Jing nodded and responded: "Don't worry, he has already sent people to keep an eye on them. Just beg them to do something wrong. If he makes a mistake, they won't be polite."
If you want to be the crown prince, you have to show the corresponding endurance. If you can't hold down several princes, don't be the crown prince.
"Go to bed early!" Zhao Xiyan yawned lightly as she had lost energy after being pregnant and felt sleepy from time to time.
Xu Jing responded, picked up Zhao Xiyan, and placed her gently and carefully on the bed.
…
Early the next month, Zhao Xiyan was still awake, so Xu Jing got up and entered the palace.
News in the palace spread quickly. The guard who opened the palace gate for Xu Jing, Mingyue, was particularly respectful. The palace attendants he met along the way came to salute even though they were far away.
Xu Jing was stunned and his face remained calm.
When we arrived outside Fuyou Hall, it was time for the guards to change shifts.
Imperial Colonel Murong Shen, Mingyue took the initiative to step forward, smiled and bowed his legs, saying, "I will finally meet the crown prince."
Looking at Captain Murong, who looked at the moon with a cold and stern look, Mingyue seemed to be a different person. His whole person had put away his sharp thorns and became gentle and polite.
