After marriage and marriage, I became the favorite of the group

Ruan Jiu fell down the tiankeng, bumped his head, felt dizzy and nauseated from time to time, so He Lianzhu asked people to stay in Beiting for a few more days.

In the early morning of this day, Ruan Jiu was still lying on the bed, and He Lianzhu had already finished a whole set of boxing in the martial arts field.

When he came back covered in hot sweat, he saw Xiao Mingyuan waiting in front of the door from a distance.

Thinking of Ruan Jiu still sleeping inside, He Lianzhu felt dissatisfied for a while.

He told the attendants: "Let him wait in the study."

The attendant hurried forward to convey He Lianzhu's words, Xiao Mingyuan turned his head to take a look, saluted from a distance, and was invited down by the attendant.

He Lianzhu frowned from the beginning to the end, very unhappy, glanced at him coldly, quickly looked away, and entered the room.

He Lianzhu changed out of his sweaty clothes and put on a single-layer robe.

Ruan Jiu was still sleeping, He Lianzhu put on his belt, walked in front of him, loosened his hair, and squatted down in front of the bed.

He approached Ruan Jiu and called out, "Ruan Jiu."

Ruan Jiu was awakened by him in a daze, raised his hand to rub his eyes, but didn't want to slap him on the face.

He Lianzhu rubbed against his palm: "Get up."

Ruan Jiu hummed twice, patted his face, pulled the quilt over his head, and wanted to sleep for a while.

He Lianzhu rubbed his head for him: "Are you still dizzy?"

Ruan Jiu shook his head.

He Lianzhu coaxed gently: "Then we will return to Shangjing tomorrow."

Ruan Jiu still shook his head, opened his sleepy eyes, and spoke in a low voice: "I want to go back to Yong'an."

Although He Lianzhu's tone was still gentle, it already carried the meaning that he could not refuse: "No."

Ruan Jiu woke up, looked at his dark eyes, but the corners of his eyes gradually turned red.

He Lianzhu raised his hand, stroked his hair, passed his fingers through the roots of his hair, pressed his head, and comforted him: "It's not enough now, after a few years, things will settle down, and I will talk to Emperor Liang again." Discuss and bring all the family members to Shangjing."

Ruan Jiu shook his head vigorously, He Lianzhu's hand pulled his hair, and his eyes became even redder.

He Lianzhu quickly withdrew his hand and stroked his hair: "Does it hurt you?"

Ruan Jiu was very sad, looked into his eyes, and said again: "I want to go back to Yong'an."

He Lianzhu also said firmly: "No, not yet."

Now Ruan Jiu understood that it was impossible for Helian Zhu to let him go.

He was discouraged, and lay down on the soft pillow again, half of his face was hidden in the quilt, and he said sullenly, "I'll sleep for a while."

"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll let them..."

"I don't want to eat, I'll eat at noon."

"Okay." He Lianzhu finally touched his head and helped him cover the quilt.

It's okay to lose your temper, as long as Ruan Jiu doesn't get involved in those things.

He Lianzhu guarded Ruan Jiu until he fell asleep before getting up and leaving.

Xiao Mingyuan was still waiting in the study to see him.

He Lianzhu walked out of the room and glanced at Ulan: "Take care of the queen."

Ulan lowered her eyes and replied, "Yes."

He Lianzhu's eyes turned cold, and his tone contained a warning: "It's the second time."

Ulan knew what he was talking about, this was the second time he brought Ruan Jiu out without telling Helian Zhu.

There will be a third time, and it will not be exposed in such an understatement.

When Ulan raised his head again, Helian Zhu had already gone far away.

He has always been like this, arbitrarily doing his own thing, deliberately restraining himself in front of Ruan Jiu, but he can't change the dictatorship in his bones.

In the study, Xiao Mingyuan's hands were hanging by his sides, clenched into fists.

He Lianzhu sat in front of him, flipping through the memorial sent from Shang Jing.

Without raising his head, he asked in a cold voice, "Do you want to borrow troops?"

Xiao Mingyuan straightened his back, and clenched his fisted hands even tighter: "Yes, please lend me your troops, so that I can send troops to serve you."

He Lianzhu asked, "Have you led soldiers before?"

"I do not have……"

"Have you been to the barracks?"

"No……"

"Have you read the book of war?"

"No."

He Lianzhu put down his ink brush, pushed aside the memorial in front of him, and said in a cold tone, "Then why should I lend you troops? Are you going to send all the Jiwu troops to die?"

Xiao Mingyuan quickly recalled: "What does Your Majesty want?"

Between the two countries, there is nothing but interests.

Ji Wu wants to mobilize troops for the irrelevant Liang country, or do such a risky thing, naturally there are some benefits.

Xiao Mingyuan couldn't help being a little nervous, Jiwu always had a big appetite, he wanted money, land, and a kiss with the princess, he didn't know what he wanted this time.

Unexpectedly, He Lianzhu said indifferently: "I will send a general to help you lead the army."

"No!" Xiao Mingyuan raised his head abruptly, categorically refusing.

How can this be?Originally, they used Jiwu's soldiers, and then used Jiwu's generals to lead the troops. Even if they successfully entered King Yong'an Qin in the future, this general and these soldiers would all be under Helianzhu's orders.

Jiwu's army entered the capital of Daliang, only half a step away from taking away the throne of Liang.

How can this be?Even if Xiao Mingyuan had never commanded a soldier, it was impossible for him to agree to this request.

He took a deep breath and calmed down: "Your Majesty doesn't want to borrow troops, so forget it, why bother making such a joke."

Xiao Mingyuan resigned and left.

Of course He Lianzhu didn't bother to care about him, anyone could be the emperor of Liang.

King Ying is vicious, scheming and mean-spirited; Xiao Mingyuan is dull, seemingly upright but useless.

No matter who ascends the throne, they are not a threat to Jiwu.

Why should he care about Liang Guo's affairs?

He Lianzhu speeded up the critique, thinking that he would go back to eat with Ruan Jiu at noon, and then he would be able to stay with him for the whole afternoon and night in the afternoon.

He Lianzhu did what he said, and when Ruan Jiu woke up the next morning, he found that they had already packed their things and were going back to Shangjing.

And he didn't have to do anything, he just needed to wash up, eat something, and then be pushed into the carriage by Helian Zhu.

It was difficult for Ruan Jiu to poke his head out of the carriage window. He looked around, but he didn't see Xiao Mingyuan and the others. He was a little anxious: "Ulan, go and shout..."

He leaned out of the carriage with almost half of his body, and was carried back by Helian Zhu.

Ruan Jiu pushed him away vigorously, and shouted twice outside the carriage: "Xiao Mingyuan! Xiao Mingyuan!"

Before he could yell for the third time, Xiao Mingyuan came over from a distance.

He handed the reins to the guard and stepped forward.

Ruan Jiu took a look, only to see that he was already dressed and was about to leave.

Ruan Jiu asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Mingyuan looked calm: "Go and see the surrounding tribes."

Ruan Jiu turned his head and glanced at He Lianzhu, He Lianzhu's face was pale, as if he couldn't see anyone else.

It seems that no soldiers were borrowed.

Ruan Jiu lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Mingyuan didn't change his face: "Your Majesty is kind enough to send someone to command the army for me, but I refused."

Ruan Jiu realized, how could Xiao Mingyuan agree to such a request?No wonder he had to find another way out.

"Then..." Ruan Jiu looked back at He Lianzhu again, and said softly to Xiao Mingyuan, "Why don't you stay a little longer, and I'll help you find a way."

To Xiao Mingyuan, that request was an out-and-out humiliation, so of course Xiao Mingyuan refused.

"Forget it, don't bother you, I'll just go and look elsewhere."

Xiao Mingyuan raised his foot to leave, Ruan Jiu quickly leaned out and took his hand.

"Other tribes listen to He Lianzhu, and I'm afraid they won't borrow it. You and I go back to Shangjing, and I will help you find a way."

Xiao Mingyuan didn't look back, and after a stalemate for a while, Ruan Jiu shook his hand, "Xiao Mingyuan?"

Xiao Mingyuan nodded, and Ruan Jiu withdrew his hand after seeing that he agreed.

Ruan Jiu sat back in the carriage, looked up and saw Helian Zhu, but didn't know what to say.

Although he said that he would help Xiao Mingyuan find a solution, it was only an expedient measure. Now that Xiao Mingyuan's remnants are defeated, he can't even get together a hundred people. I'm afraid that as soon as he leaves Jiwu, he will be wiped out by the King of England. Even death is inexplicable.

He should have spoken to Helian Zhu.

Before Ruan Jiu could figure out how to change his words, the carriage drove away.

Ruan Jiu lifted the curtain and took a look, and saw Xiao Mingyuan and the others riding up on horseback, so he was relieved.

He put down the curtain, looked away, and looked at Helian Zhu again.

He Lianzhu sat upright, with his hands on his knees, with a solemn expression.

Ruan Jiu turned his eyes, stretched out his hand to hold his hand, and said softly, "... Your Majesty."

He Lianzhu's expression moved slightly, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the corners of his lips that could not help but curl up.

He didn't like Ruan Jiu calling him like this at first, it seemed unfamiliar, but he didn't expect that it was a bit sticky when Ruan Jiu called him this.

He asked people, of course, to be softer.

He Lianzhu responded lightly: "What's the matter?"

"Xiao Mingyuan's side..." Ruan Jiu held his hand with both hands, "Please."

Ruan Jiu thought for a while, then put his hands around He Lianzhu's waist, buried his head in his arms, and rubbed hard.

He saw that rice and steamed buns acted like a spoiled child, and He Lianzhu himself also liked it.

"Little pig, please."

He Lianzhu held down his hands that were about to move.

"He has never led soldiers, and now that the King of England is powerful, he refuses to let my people lead soldiers. I can't let the Jiwu people follow him to die."

"I know." Ruan Jiu whispered, "If you want to send someone with him, can you let him choose someone himself? I can go there too."

He Lianzhu lowered his eyes: "You can't."

"Then let him choose, and choose a general who is satisfied with him to lead the army with him."

Ruan Jiu held his face and pecked Helian Zhu's chin twice like a bird pecking.

"Pig King, please."

This is the first time Ruan Jiu used beauty tricks, he felt that he was not very proficient, He Lianzhu felt that he really knew it too well, as soon as he made a move, it was a unique move.

He didn't have the stamina to resist at all.

He Lianzhu held his waist with both hands, and brought him up: "He doesn't know which generals there are in Jiwu, and you are the one to pick them in the end?"

"Then I'll pick it. It's just for my sake." Ruan Jiu blinked, and his tone became softer, "As long as they lead the soldiers away, I can rest assured. I promise you, I won't go back for the time being. Let them go back first, okay?"

He Lianzhu didn't answer, but moved closer to him again.Ruan Jiu understood and touched his cheeks.

Now Helian Zhu was satisfied.

That's what he originally thought, if Ruan Jiu begged him, he would borrow troops.

He pressed Ruan Jiu's head: "Okay, it's up to you."

Ruan Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, hugged him, and smiled sincerely: "You are so kind, little pig."

"Yeah." He Lianzhu hugged Ruan Jiu who was about to slip off his lap, "That's it."

"Oh."

He Lianzhu was too tall, almost covering his whole body, Ruan Jiu leaned his head on his shoulder, and lowered his eyes.

But he still wants to go back.

In order to take care of Ruan Jiu's body, the team walked slowly and swayed. When they returned to Shangjing, it was already the first day of He Lianzhu's coming-of-age ceremony.

Things in Shangjing City have been arranged, he just needs to change his clothes and attend the ceremony.

Ruan Jiu also changed into the clothes of the great witch, and wanted to accompany him to sacrifice.

Before leaving, Ruan Jiu specially sent someone to tell Xiao Mingyuan: "Tell him not to worry, wait a little longer, it will be over soon."

He Lianzhu paused when he put on his clothes, a little displeased, and walked up to Ruan Jiu, asking him to tie a belt for him.

He emphasized it again: "This is my birthday."

"...I know." Ruan Jiu stretched out his hands to help him wrap his belt around, "I made a slip of the tongue."

He Lianzhu lowered his head and leaned in front of him, and said forcefully: "My birthday is more important than Xiao Mingyuan."

"understood."

Ruan Jiu helped him tie his belt, and when he raised his head, he happened to brush the corner of He Lianzhu's lips.

He Lianzhu smiled, curled the corners of his lips, and kissed him again.

"I grew up."

"En." Ruan Jiu nodded, raising his hand to stroke his head.

The ceremony has been postponed for several hours. From morning to morning, when the two of them passed by, the sun was up.

Like the little adult in the autumn hunt last time, he sacrificed to the sky first, and then the big witch did divination.

The difference from last time was that this time Helian Zhu went up to the altar with the great witch.

He insisted on doing this, and no one could stop him.

This time the fire tower was built higher and stronger, and it will not collapse again.

Ruan Jiu grabbed a handful of small colorful stones and threw them into the fire. After three days, the fire tower was burnt out, and he could come to get the stones for divination.

Not yet.

After he stood still, he said two opening hexagrams, and he caught a glimpse of He Lianzhu looking at him out of the corner of his eye.

His gaze was hotter than the fire tower behind him.

When Ruan Jiu thought about it, He Lianzhu's sentence "grow up", but now that he thought about it, it seemed that even this sentence had a different meaning.

The fire tower behind him was burning so hot that people were sweating profusely.

Ruan Jiu moved to the side, bit the bullet and finished reading the hexagrams, then took Helian Zhu down.

He Lianzhu looked at him from the beginning to the end, as if trying to hide him with his eyes.

Then He Lianzhu took Ruan Jiu to hunt on the grassland, which was a way for the Jiwu people to show their strength.

He Lianzhu is crossing the boundary of adulthood, his physical strength and explosive power are at their best, and will continue to rise.

He wants to make every effort to show himself in front of Ruan Jiu.

It's a pity that Ruan Jiu was a little absent-minded today.

When He Lianzhu shot down a gray rabbit, he turned to look at him.

Ruan Jiu pulled the rein and rode on the horse. When everyone was looking at the gray rabbit that had been shot in the eye and fell to the ground and twitched, he lowered his head, not knowing where he was looking.

He Lianzhu put the longbow on his back, pinched his neck with one hand, and wrapped his waist with the other, grabbing him like he was catching prey.

When Ruan Jiu realized it, he had already vacated.

"Helen Zhu?!"

He Lianzhu put him on his horse's back, and his strong arms trapped him in front of him.

He clung to Ruan Jiu's ear and whispered, "Who do you want to choose?"

Ruan Jiu was puzzled: "What?"

On such insignificant matters, He Lianzhu refused to say a word: "The general who commands the troops."

Ruan Jiu came to his senses, turned his head quickly, and his eyes lit up: "Getulu...if he is willing to take a trip."

He Lianzhu immediately raised his hand, and asked Getulu, who was following Qiu Lie, to come forward and let him go to the Eighth Prince of Liang, Xiao Mingyuan.

Getulu took the order to leave, He Lianzhu looked down at Ruan Jiu: "The person has already passed, Xiao Mingyuan is not stupid enough to ask you for help in anything."

He stuffed the longbow into Ruan Jiu's hand: "Be careful and hold it for me."

Ruan Jiu grasped the longbow in his hand and nodded: "Okay."

He Lianzhu rode his horse forward, and before they had walked for a long time, the group bumped into a white wolf.

Just as the guards were about to step forward, He Lianzhu waved his hand to tell them not to be nervous, so as not to startle the white wolf away.

He held Ruan Jiu's hand holding the long bow, pulled out an iron arrow from the quiver on his back, and led Ruan Jiu to raise the bow and set the arrow.

Ruan Jiu hesitated: "This is not good, it will go crazy with just one arrow..."

Before he finished speaking, He Lianzhu let go of his hand.

The arrow flew out with a whoosh, and pierced into the white wolf's eyes accurately.

Before the white wolf could react from the pain, He Lianzhu fired two arrows one after another, one shot into the other eye of the white wolf, and the other passed through its sole, pinning it firmly to the ground.

The white wolf didn't even have time to struggle, and couldn't move, so he fell to the ground.

The people in the entourage cheered, saying that this was an auspicious omen, and He Lianzhu waved his hand, telling them to pick up the wolf.

Then two or three attendants came forward carrying the white wolf, He Lianzhu looked down at Ruan Jiu, and Ruan Jiu also smiled at him.

"Great."

He Lianzhu is very coaxing, just this one sentence can make him happy.

"Go back and peel it and give it to you."

The group didn't go back until the evening, and they had a lot of harvest, which was taken away by the subordinates.

He Lianzhu handled the white wolf himself, just like when he was in Xiyuan before, he took off his shirt and skinned and boned the wolf.

Ruan Jiu squatted aside to watch him, and saw that his movements were quick and crisp, and his eyes slid back and forth along the muscle lines on his arms.In the end, he was really curious, so he stood up and poked Helian Zhu's arm.

He Lianzhu looked at him, and he only said, "Let me touch it."

Sure enough, I only touched it once, not much.

Before He Lianzhu felt anything, he withdrew his hand and touched the wolf skin that He Lianzhu had just peeled off.

"It's hot." Ruan Jiu described it like this.

It turned out that I didn't want to touch him, but to touch the wolf's fur.

Helian Zhu didn't know what to say.

Ruan Jiu touched the wolf's fur happily for a while, looked up and saw Getulu came back, and asked, "How is it? What did Xiao Mingyuan say?"

Getulu said with a smile: "Queen, don't worry, everything is done. The Eighth Prince also agreed."

"That's good."

"We've been getting ready in the past few days, and when we're done getting ready, we'll set off for the Kingdom of Liang. Our people are more than enough to deal with the King of England."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Ruan Jiu was really happy this time, and patted He Lianzhu on the shoulder: "Thank you too, little pig."

He Lianzhu took his hand on the wolf fur and squeezed it, but Ruan Jiu quickly withdrew his hand.

Before He Lianzhu had finished dealing with the white wolf, tonight's banquet was about to begin.

Of course, the king's coming-of-age ceremony has to be organized in a big way. The custom here is to hold three days in a row, and the banquet should be held for three days in a row.

It is still a traditional form of banquet. On the grassland, the bonfire is raging, and everyone sits around the bonfire, singing and dancing.

After Ruan Jiu ate two pieces of roasted venison, he found an excuse, went around to the back of the tent, and went to find Xiao Mingyuan and the others.

But he only had time to ask them a few quick questions.

"How is it? Is it settled?"

Xiao Mingyuan nodded: "Well, the conditions offered by Jiwu...I accept it."

"What conditions?"

"First, let Geturu lead the army together."

"Don't worry about that, that's the person I picked, and he won't have any problems."

"That's good." Xiao Mingyuan said, "The second point is, after the matter is completed, you will be called King Jiwu in the future, and you will be Emperor Jiwu."

He looked up at Ruan Jiu as if: "You are the queen now."

Ruan Jiu was puzzled: "Huh?"

Yan Ning explained: "After all, the king and the emperor are still different. He was a tribe first, so he was called 'king'. Now that he is up, he naturally has to care about the title."

Ruan Jiu thought: "It's okay, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Yan Ning said: "We don't care about these nonsense..."

Xiao Mingyuan said coldly: "We do care."

He is talking ironically, and he has nowhere to go. Whether he cares or not, he can't care anymore.

Ruan Jiu hurriedly asked, "Is there any more?"

Xiao Mingyuan looked at him: "And thirdly, we are marching, and we must not take you with us."

Ruan Jiu was stunned: "Huh?"

Xiao Mingyuan explained to him: "He Lianzhu was worried about your safety and feared that you would follow us, so he added this on purpose."

"Ah..." Ruan Jiu paused, and finally said, "That's fine, you guys go first."

He glanced back at the noisy crowd, and put down the food and drink he brought them: "I've been out for too long, I have to go back soon. Don't worry about me, this matter can't be delayed, if you need anything else, Just write to me and tell me."

"Okay, this time... thank you very much."

Xiao Mingyuan waved at him, he spoke too softly, Ruan Jiu had already left, so Ruan Jiu didn't hear him at all.

Ruan Jiu returned to the banquet, he had to go through the dancing crowd to reach Helian Zhu, but he was dragged in before he got halfway there.

The man took him by the hand, dragged him to him, put his arms around his waist, like all dancers do.

Ruan Jiu couldn't break free, so he could only whisper: "You dragged the wrong person, I am the queen."

The man pressed him in front of him, and led him around slowly with the sound of the drum, and said in a low voice, "The queen doesn't even recognize the king."

The bonfire was bright, Ruan Jiu looked up and realized it was him.

For a while, I was angry and funny.

"What are you doing?"

He Lianzhu felt a little apprehensive, lowered his head, and pressed his forehead against his: "You went to find them again."

"It's just taking something to go there." Ruan Jiu was a little uncomfortable, looking down at the pendant on He Lianzhu's waist, "Anyway, I have promised you that I won't go back for the time being, so you can rest assured, I won't go back .”

Helian Zhu looked into his eyes, and smiled inexplicably.

Ruan Jiu became more and more uncomfortable, and frowned: "Have you been drinking?"

He Lianzhu still smiled: "I drank a little."

"I said why your forehead is so hot."

When Ruan Jiu looked up at him, he saw that his face was reddish, and he thought it was illuminated by the bonfire, but it turned out that he had been drinking.

However, He Lianzhu's drinking capacity has always been very good, so he is not worried.

The drumbeat gradually slowed down, and the dance steps that originally followed the drumbeat also slowed down.

At this time, others noticed that the king and queen were also in the crowd, so they subconsciously moved to the side to make room for them.

He Lianzhu seemed drunk, his forehead was pressed against Ruan Jiu's forehead, and his slightly heavy breathing hit Ruan Jiu's face.

He only needs to poke his head forward to touch Ruan Jiu's lips.

But Ruan Jiu seemed a little shy, so he hid back and separated from him.

"A smell of wine, smelly... it stinks to death."

"I didn't drink much, it's very fragrant."

"I can't drink, I'll get drunk if I drink a little bit..."

He Lianzhu didn't know why Ruan Jiu suddenly mentioned this matter, he responded: "I know."

Ruan Jiu continued to explain: "That's why I can't kiss, I will get drunk if I kiss."

"Oh." He Lianzhu suddenly realized, and wanted to humiliate him, and repeated it deliberately, "So it turns out that Ruanjiu will get drunk just by kissing."

Ruan Jiu nodded his head with a blushing face, lowered his head, and refused to look at him any more.

And He Lianzhu held his hand, and his fingers passed through his fingers, like the wind blowing pasture, extremely gentle and tender.

When Ruan Jiu realized it, He Lianzhu had touched his fingers all over like a newborn lamb.

But He Lianzhu's fingers had thin calluses, which were much rougher than the lamb Ruan Jiu had raised, and Ruan Jiu was not very comfortable.
