Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

In the past few months, he and King Heng had fought on the battlefield several times, most of the time at night, when the enemy chose to launch sneak attacks. Whenever it was late at night and he was on the verge of life and death, the only thing he thought of in his mind was his family and Zhang Yumo. He was even glad that he did not consummate his marriage with her, for he was afraid that dying on the battlefield would harm her instead.

He was so drunk on the wedding night that when he woke up the next day and faced her, he felt ashamed.

The next day, he suddenly received a message from Prince Heng that a war was about to break out at the border, and he was asked to be ready to leave Beijing at any time. After much thought, he did not consummate the marriage with her.

When they got to the bedroom, Zhang Yumo said, "I'll go flush the toilet first."

"Okay." He let go of her hand and went to the inner room alone to find clean clothes to change into.

His clothes were neatly arranged by Zhang Yumo. She also put away his winter clothes and added some new ones.

He thought to himself: These were made by my mother, and by Zhang Yumo. She probably doesn’t know his size!

Jiang Yumo suddenly walked up to him and said with a smile, "I don't know if you like it or not. I made some with my mother when I was free. Why don't you try it on to see if it fits you. If it doesn't fit, I'll modify it."

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Jinyan said politely.

The more polite he was, the more pain Zhang Yumo felt in her heart, which meant that he didn't really like her. She forced a smile and said, "Most of it was done by my mother. I just helped. I'm not very good at it."

Jiang Jinyan didn't say anything. He knew it wasn't made by his mother because his mother wasn't good at sewing and couldn't do such good embroidery. He didn't expose her and chose a dress of the same color as her skirt and took everything inside and out.

There were even underwear, which were also new. His face was getting redder and redder, and he didn't dare to look at Zhang Yumo's face. From childhood to adulthood, except his mother, there was no other woman who would prepare these underwear for him. He just felt embarrassed.

Zhang Yumo did not notice his embarrassment, she just thought that he was so polite because he did not like her. She comforted herself that it was good this way, at least they could treat each other with respect and she had a place to settle down, because she had no other home except the Jiang Mansion.

She kept all these words in her heart, not daring to reveal any negative emotions.

The couple each had their own thoughts. Jiang Jinyan blushed and his heart was beating fast. He didn't care that Zhang Yumo went to the bathroom with her clothes. He closed the door directly and bolted it.

When Zhang Yumo heard his actions, she felt a chill in her heart. He really didn't like me.

She took a step back, not knowing whether to leave or stay. If she went out now, her mother and Fenghua would definitely ask her questions, and she didn't know how to answer. So she simply sat down in front of the dressing mirror, looking at her sad face in the mirror. She practiced smiling and calling "husband".

In the bathroom, after who knows how long, Jiang Jinyan finally cleaned himself up. He was thinking that he even disliked himself, and if Zhang Yumo saw him like this, she would probably think that he was not worthy of her love at all.

Jiang Jinyan changed the water three times and used up all the hot water. He even felt embarrassed to be in his own room.

He wiped the water off his hair, shaved, and put on his clothes. More than an hour had passed.

He opened the door and thought he would see Zhang Yumo, but the house was so quiet that it was even dark when night fell. He thought Zhang Yumo had gone to the dining room.

He was groping in the dark to find a tinder to light the oil lamp, but he felt a warm body the next moment and Zhang Yumo woke up instantly, "Ah!"

"It's me, you didn't leave?" he asked. It turned out that Zhang Yumo had fallen asleep on the table.

Zhang Yumo was woken up and asked quickly, "Why did I fall asleep here? Is it dark? Husband, are you done with your shower?"

When she stood up, she bumped into Jiang Jinyan's arms again.

She was so scared that she wanted to jump away, but Jiang Jinyan suddenly put his arm around her waist and held her in his arms. He whispered in her ear in a low voice, "Moer, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Zhang Yumo was stunned, her heart beating loudly. "It's okay, let's go out for dinner! They must be waiting anxiously, it's dark, I'll find a candle to light it up!"

Smelling the fragrance of her hair, being so close to her, with her warmth and softness in his arms, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. When she moved, his lips even brushed against her cheek, making her dare not move or make a sound for a moment.

After a while, she called him tentatively, "Jinyan."

"Didn't you call me husband just now?" She had never called him like that before.

Zhang Yumo then remembered that she had just practiced calling him "husband" in front of the mirror. In the end, she even felt she had no confidence so she sat at the table waiting for him. While waiting, she fell asleep. Then just now in the dark, she unconsciously called him "husband".

But, if he didn't really like her, could she call him husband?

He added, "In fact, I had already thought about it when I was at the border. If I could come back, we would live a good life. You are my wife now, so it is only natural for you to call me husband."

She was so nervous that she dared not move or speak. It was pitch dark all around her and she knew her face was like a ripe red persimmon.

Seeing that she didn't speak, he was a little at a loss. He couldn't figure out a woman's mind. Zhang Yumo liked him, but she avoided him everywhere. She guarded her own world and didn't let him get close. This is how he felt when they just got married.

"I've heard about your grandparents. I wasn't with you when you were most sad. I'm sorry..."

Zhang Yumo suddenly covered his mouth. When she mentioned her grandparents, tears fell unconsciously from her eyes. She leaned in his arms and cried, feeling very sad.

Jiang's father and mother treated her better than their own daughter. She didn't feel lonely at all. She just missed them very much. She dreamed about them every night. She didn't even dare to show her true emotions in front of Jiang's mother.

She hugged his waist tightly and refused to let go, as if she wanted to vent all her longing through tears.

At that time, she really missed Jiang Jinyan, but he didn't write her a letter and was reluctant to give her even a single word.

She was angry, but when she saw him, she lost her anger and didn't want to talk.

Jiang Jinyan was also panicked. He didn't bully her, so why was she crying like this? She must miss her grandparents very much. The only thing he could do was to reach out and hold her in his arms to comfort her. Maybe she wouldn't be sad anymore after she vented her anger!

Seeing that he had stopped crying, Zhang Yumo asked him, "I was already crying, why didn't you comfort me?"

"My condolences," he said.

Zhang Yumo was stunned. "Jiang Jinyan, have you become stupid from studying? You used to be so talkative, so lively, and so eloquent that you attracted so many girls from Shengjing City. Now, when I ask you to comfort me, you only say four words to perfunctorily answer me."

Jiang Jinyan saw that her expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, crying when she said she would cry, laughing when she said she would laugh, "How could I be perfunctory with you? I am sincere."

At this moment, Jiang Zhiqin's sigh of regret suddenly came from outside the window, "Brother, are you stupid? How can you comfort others like this? Normally, at this time, according to the plot of the script, you would hug your sister-in-law and kiss her! Calling you stupid is flattering you. What's the use of being good at studying?"

Then the voices of the three siblings of the Jin family were heard.

"Oh, your aunt is crying, you have to find a way to stop her from crying. How can you just sit there and do nothing?" Jin Mingxia, a smart boy, suggested.

"My uncle is mean and bullies my aunt. I'm going to tell my grandmother." said the youngest Jin Mingdong.

Zhang Yumo was completely dumbfounded after hearing this, "Why is Fourth Brother out here? This is so embarrassing!"

Jiang Jinyan shouted to the outside, "Jiang Zhiqin, you are itching for money again, don't come to me next time if you don't have money."

"Jin Mingxia, who did you learn all this nonsense from..." He felt embarrassed himself.

When Jiang Jinyan pushed open the window, there was no one outside. Jiang Zhiqin had already escaped with the three little ones.
