Chapter 104 I will still miss you in front of me
Not long after, the Southern King was invited by Long Yan. When he saw Wei Qing, the Southern King couldn't hide his joy on his face, and when Wei Qing saw the Southern King, she lowered her head shyly.
Xia Taoyuan said to King Nan: "Qing'er is in your care today. Take her out and make sure she is safe."
Nan Wang repeatedly assured him that he had brought his guards with him, and that even if he had any problems, Wei Qing would not be allowed to make any mistakes. Xia Taoyuan also told him that Wei Qing must be sent back before the hour of You, and Nan Wang agreed with a smile.
Prince Nan took Wei Qing away. Xia Taoyuan sat in the flower hall for a while, then asked Caiyun Qiuyue to take her to Nanyuan where her wet nurse lived.
The wet nurse was very happy to have Xia Taoyuan come, and she talked to her affectionately about some interesting things. She sent the maids to pour tea and wash some fruits and vegetables.
The maids left, and only Xia Taoyuan, the wet nurse and Yingge were left in the room.
The nurse suddenly said seriously, "Yingge'er, the princess has married you. From now on, your duty is to protect her. No matter what happens, the princess's safety comes first."
Xia Taoyuan was grateful to her nurse and said, "Don't worry, nurse. I will be fine."
The nurse looked at her, touched her face, and said, "I heard about your situation from Qingyun and Longyan. You were framed, but you were lucky enough to escape."
Xia Taoyuan said gratefully: "I'm sorry for making you worry. I will be more careful next time."
"Yingge will follow you from now on. If you leave the palace, take her with you. Her kung fu is not inferior to Long Yan's." said the wet nurse.
Xia Taoyuan looked at Yingge, a little shocked. She had heard Chu Xingluo say that Long Yan's kung fu was amazing, better than his and Qingyun's. She didn't expect that this sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in front of her was so strong, and her kung fu was even better than Long Yan's.
Xia Taoyuan was of course happy, and immediately said, "Thank you, nanny."
Yingge also came over and said, "From now on, if the princess has any errands, just let me go."
"Okay, you stay with the wet nurse usually. I'll call you if I need to go out for something." Xia Taoyuan was really happy. He didn't expect that he would get such a treasure as Yingge when he came to the wet nurse.
"These girls in the palace were carefully selected by me. They entered the palace when they were young and were trained by me personally. They are all trustworthy. You can use them at will in the future." The nurse smiled and said, "The servants in our palace are also the same. They are all from Lingzhou. Most of them are orphans and can be trusted. The housekeeper Xu Zhong is even a subordinate of the old master. He is loyal to the Xiao family and Prince Jing."
The nanny originally said this to reassure Xia Taoyuan, but somehow, Xia Taoyuan felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she couldn't explain why.
After having lunch at the wet nurse's house, Xia Taoyuan stayed for a while and then went back.
Coming out of her wet nurse's South Garden, seeing that the weather was good, she took a few maids to the garden and swung on the swing for a while. Thinking of the scene when she first came to Prince Jing's Mansion, she couldn't help laughing.
After swinging for a while, she came down and let the maids play. She sat aside and thought about what the wet nurse said. She sorted out her thoughts. The servants were all from Lingzhou, and the housekeeper Xu Zhong was an old subordinate of Chu Xingluo's grandfather and was very loyal. These should all have been arranged by Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng's starting point was to make Chu Xingluo the emperor and find a reason to kill Empress Wei. But if Emperor Ying did not make Chu Xingluo the emperor, would Xiao Feng force Chu Xingluo to rebel? Thinking of this, Xia Taoyuan was frightened by her own thoughts.
She had heard Chu Xingluo say before that Xiao Feng's wish was to become the emperor and avenge him. She thought it was far away at the time and had not thought about it carefully. But now it was different. She had married Chu Xingluo and was going to share life and death with him. Everything about Chu Xingluo concerned her, and she did not want Chu Xingluo to take risks.
It was already a blessing for her to be able to marry Chu Xingluo. She didn't expect or want anything else!
If she had a choice, she would rather be an ordinary couple with Chu Xingluo, have two houses and a few acres of land, raise some chickens and ducks, and live a stable life.
Xia Taoyuan took a deep breath. The consolation now was that Xiao Feng had found his wife and daughter. She only hoped that the arrival of Chen Yuke and Wei Qing would calm his desire for revenge and allow him to live a peaceful life with the mother and daughter.
The Southern King Chu Xingliang took Wei Qing to the lake for a boat trip. He held Wei Qing's hand and took good care of her. After several contacts, Wei Qing had already fallen in love with the Southern King.
The two of them played happily for the whole day. In the afternoon, Prince Nan sent Wei Qing to Prince Jing's Mansion before the hour of You as promised.
Seeing that Wei Qing had returned on time and that Xiao Feng and Chen Yuke had done what they were supposed to do, Xia Taoyuan brought the food and went to Xiao Feng's room with Wei Qing.
"Uncle and aunt, please eat first. It's getting late. After dinner, let Qingyun send aunt and Qing'er back to the prime minister's residence. You can arrange a day to meet, and I will pick up aunt and uncle for a reunion then." Xia Taoyuan said slowly.
Chen Yuke looked at her gratefully and said, "Thank you Zhiying."
Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "We are all family, so don't say thank you in the future!"
After this incident, Xiao Feng felt grateful to Xia Taoyuan and his opinion of her changed significantly.
The three of them stayed to eat, and Xia Taoyuan left and returned to her room. The maids had already prepared the food. Xia Taoyuan looked at the table full of food and smiled. This was the first time she had eaten alone with Chu Xingluo after marriage. In the days after marriage, she had only eaten with her nanny and Xiao Feng.
Chu Xingluo was still in the study. She asked the maids to go to the kitchen to eat without being served. She was most afraid of having someone next to her while eating, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Xia Taoyuan went to the study to find Chu Xingluo by herself.
Through the window, she saw Chu Xingluo reading a book on the table. Xia Taoyuan quietly entered the study and tiptoed towards Chu Xingluo's desk.
She wanted to take advantage of the time when Chu Xingluo lowered his head to read the book to go behind him and tease him.
As soon as she got to the desk, Chu Xingluo raised her head, and Xia Taoyuan chuckled twice. Chu Xingluo looked at her and raised his hand to remove a grain of rice stuck to her mouth. Xia Taoyuan was extremely embarrassed. She was a little hungry just now and secretly ate a mouthful of glutinous rice, and a grain of rice was stuck to the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, no one else saw it.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, it's time to eat." Xia Taoyuan approached Chu Xingluo with a smile.
Chu Xingluo smiled lightly, stood up and said, "Princess Jing, please!"
Xia Taoyuan took his arm and walked out of the study.
The two of them were eating. Chu Xingluo put a piece of fish into Xia Taoyuan's bowl. Xia Taoyuan smiled at him foolishly and lowered her head to eat. Chu Xingluo was stunned for a while when he saw her look. This scene was what he had always dreamed of. He had a home, and there was someone in the home who loved him so much. No matter what happened, when he returned home, that person would wait for him, leave a bowl of rice for him, and light a lamp for him.
Chu Xingluo's hand holding the chopsticks was shaking a little. He was a little excited. Xia Taoyuan looked up and saw his strangeness and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chu Xingluo came back to his senses and said, "I miss you!"
Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "Are you stupid? Am I not in front of you?"
"I will still think of you and miss you even when you are in front of me." Chu Xingluo said seriously.
Xia Taoyuan's eyes became hot and tears almost fell. Chu Xingluo was not good at joking, and what he said was his true thoughts.
"I miss you too!" Xia Taoyuan looked at Chu Xingluo with a smile. Yes, she thought about him all the time.
She understood that Chu Xingluo was moved by the scene, and having her in his life gave him hope.
She remembered that Chu Xingluo once said that he never paid attention to how other people ate because most of the time he ate alone.
Xia Taoyuan felt sorry for Chu Xingluo. She raised her eyes and smiled, "From now on, I will be in front of you every day, chasing you everywhere, snatching food from you, and disturbing you from reading. Will you feel annoyed?"
Chu Xingluo's eyes sparkled as he said, "Not annoying."
"That's good. We have a deal. We'll be together for the rest of our lives and neither of us is allowed to feel annoyed by the other." After saying this, Xia Taoyuan started to eat again.
A lifetime, three simple words, Chu Xingluo regarded it as Xia Taoyuan's promise to him. A lifetime, three ordinary words, at this moment, seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in Chu Xingluo's heart. A lifetime, three ordinary words, like a seed of hope planted in Chu Xingluo's heart, he hoped that it would take root and sprout and grow into a towering tree.
Xia Taoyuan was very happy. The beautiful life she imagined was just like this. It was the two of them having three meals a day and living through the four seasons in peace and stability, with each other in their eyes, and occasionally having some harmless little frictions, and living a plain life.
After they finished their meal, Wei Qing came and said that she had also finished her meal and wanted to go back to the prime minister's residence with her mother.
Chu Xingluo stood up and called Qingyun. Chen Yuke also came out, but Xiao Feng did not follow.
Qingyun drove the carriage to the yard, Chen Yuke and Qing'er got on the carriage, said goodbye to the two, and left the palace.
Xia Taoyuan called Zhuer Daier to clear the table. It was getting late when they finished, so they washed up and went to bed to rest. The two of them naturally had some sweet words.
