The general and his spoiled wife

The news of Dao Zi's undeath spread secretly and quickly to all corners, the world suddenly became peaceful, and the murder cases in Yuzhou City dropped sharply. The courtiers were relieved, and the people were also relieved.

The days were long and long, as if those bloody and turbulent breaths had never passed.

The gloomy courtyard in Tengluo Street and Shili Lane, with the big iron gate closed, was quiet on a rainy night.Pedestrians pass by and take a look, always feeling chills down their spines.

It is also getting colder.

The plum blossoms in the courtyard are just beginning to bloom, and the slanting branches stick out of the wall, adding a clear fragrance in the cold.

Considering the cold weather, although the bottom of Luan Valley is extremely warm, the birth of dragon species is related to the royal family and society, so we must pay more attention to it.The empress will give birth soon, and the courtiers respectfully invite the empress to return to the palace. In such a matter, one cannot be too cautious.

Jiang Huai agreed, she took Yunci, and Xuanling took the nine-year-old girl back to the deep palace as she wished before the snow fell, reassuring the hearts of all the officials.

When the first snow fell in winter, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open again, and Jingyang came braving the wind and snow. Su Susu made a pot of hot tea in advance and waited.

"What's the matter with me?"

Since coming to the small courtyard on time, Jingyang no longer has the habit of teaching his servants to follow.She stood alone in the spacious and warm room, with an indelible gloom and helplessness in her eyes.

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Su Su pushed the teacup to her hand: "Sit down."

Obviously they are the closest people physically, but the distance between them seems to be separated by a mountain that can never be crossed.

Rusu hasn't given up on the emperor, is it only after her heart dies that her eyes will see that there is not only Jiang Huai, but also a Jingyang who is waiting for her.

Seeing her, Jingyang felt really complicated: "I won't sit down."

She explained: "Ah Ci... No, the emperor's sister-in-law may give birth someday. After all, it is the blood of the royal family. Even if I can't accompany me, I have to enter the palace to accompany me. If I can see the child born into the world with my own eyes , as if I saw it on behalf of my father."

When it comes to the child, Su Susu's thoughts are vivid, and she asks with concern: "Is Sister Ah Ci okay?"

"Excellent. Brother Huang treated her very well. When I saw Sister-in-law Huang last time, she was in good spirits."

"That's good."

Jingyang asked: "Do you care about her?"

Su Xiaosu smiled, without any fakeness in her smile: "Of course. She is pregnant with A Huai's flesh and blood, even if she is born half like A Huai, I like it."

It sounds really sad to teach people.

Jingyang raised his eyebrows: "Why did you come to me?"

"I made some pastries."

"For me?"

"No."

The light in Jingyang's eyes dimmed: "Then you... are you for Brother Huang?"

Su Rusu took out the freshly baked pastries from the bamboo basket: "It's for her, but you can try it first."

"Really?" Jingyang happily picked up a piece of rabbit-shaped pastry from it, bit it down, and his eyes lit up: "Sweet but not greasy, delicate and refreshing. Is this... plum blossom?"

"It's my first attempt. The plum blossoms in the courtyard are in full bloom. Apart from going to the academy to teach every day, I have nothing else to do to pass the time. Just as long as you like it."

Su Su suddenly said, "Don't move."

Jingyang was stunned: "Huh?"

The scallioned knuckles brushed past his lips, and Su smiled and said, "It's covered with debris."

"Ah? Oh, it's...really?" Jingyang quickly lowered his head while restraining his embarrassment: "The cakes are so delicious, sweet."

"Jingyang." Su Susu said sincerely: "This is my heart, how about you bring it to Huai for me? Teach her to try it too?"

"you……"

Jingyang sighed helplessly: "Can't you teach me to be happy for a while longer?"

Watching her carefully take out the blue and white dish containing the cakes from the bamboo basket, and watching her seriously put the dish into the food box, Jing Jing got up, lost all other interests, lifted the food box and gave her one last look: "Got it, I I will personally hand it over to Brother Huang."

"Jingyang, thank you."

"You and I, do you still need to say thank you? Saying thank you is so hurtful."

Jing Jing stood on tiptoe and kissed her forehead lightly, then left quickly, and by the time Susu realized, she had turned out of the courtyard.

"Jingyang, you are really good."

Su Susu frowned sadly, and muttered to herself: "But I already have Ah Huai. If I want to blame, I blame you for appearing in my life too late. It's hard to get overwhelmed by lateness, and it's even harder to get back my heart."

Carrying the food box and stepping into the Changji Hall, Jingyang took the hot tea handed over by the maid, drank a couple of sips slowly to soothe her throat, calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "Bring the silver needle."

It's not that she doesn't believe Rusu, she just wants to be more cautious.

As a royal princess, her private affairs have grown up since she was a child.She is even more unwilling to speculate on her sweetheart with malice, but if someone uses Rusu's kindness to do evil, then she needs to use another way to protect her loved one.

The silver needle was taken.

Jingyang personally tried every piece of pastry and confirmed that it was non-toxic, finally a smile appeared on his face.

During his lifetime, the emperor must have missed the most, besides the elder brother, was the unborn grandson.Even the throne is willing to plan for the emperor's brother, and the eunuch Ming En is unswervingly carrying out the will of the emperor.

Even if she is the first princess, the crime of murdering the emperor's heir, not to mention one Jingyang, ten Jingyang together, can't afford it.

After confirming that the cakes were the same, Jingyang took the food box and went to the imperial study.

Not to mention other things, but Jiang Huai has done a good job of being diligent in government and caring for the people.

If she comes, that's it.

The Imperial Study Room is longer than the Ji Palace, and the air is more chilly.Jiang Huai sat on the throne in a spring shirt and carefully reviewed the memorial.

The eunuch has long been accustomed to seeing His Majesty's proud appearance of not being afraid of the cold. If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Study Room had to receive ministers from time to time, occasionally the Queen would come over with refreshments. According to Your Majesty's wishes, the Royal Study Room would not burn earth dragons at all. .

In all dynasties, there has never been a king with such a strong body.

While the eunuch was surprised, there was also deep joy in his heart.

If the late emperor knew about it, he would definitely be happy.When the eldest son of the emperor is born, he will definitely be extremely healthy.Ming En had a smile in his eyes.

The servant waited respectfully outside the door: "Report to Your Majesty, His Highness Jingyang is asking to see you."

Jiang Huai just finished reviewing the last memorial, she said with a smile: "Please come in."

"I have seen the emperor."

Seeing Jiang Huai again now, Jingyang still felt awkward, thinking of agreeing to Susu, he had to bite the bullet and do some things.

Fortunately, Jiang Huai didn't embarrass her. When she saw the familiar food box, she asked, "What is that?"

"It's the plum blossom cake that Su Su tried to make. She taught me to bring it here for Brother Huang to try."

"Plum cake?"

Thinking of Susu's cooking skills and the past of those years, maybe Ah Ci will give birth today and she will be a mother soon. Jiang Huai has been thinking about the past frequently recently, and her heart has softened more than a little bit.

The lid of the food box was opened, and the exquisite pastries inside showed a lot of thought.

The eunuch tried to persuade him, but Jiang Huai stopped him: "No problem."

Jingyang smiled sheepishly, looked at Jiang Huai, and actually told Ming En: "Before coming, sister Chen has already checked carefully."

The fragrance of plum blossoms melted in the mouth, and Jiang Huai was speechless for a long time.

She eats very carefully.

She doesn't have many friends in this life, one is Chun Ying who often cares about her borrowing money, and the other is Ru Su who came out of the Sijing Building.

Susu is different from Chunying. Chunying has a good color and boldness, and she is obsessed with sailing. As for Susu...

It was her who was fascinated by Susu.

She said that she gave her friendship to Susu, no matter when she started counting, she counted.

But some relationships need to be avoided, avoided, and alienated in order to last.

The plum cake is delicious, as delicious as the sweet-scented osmanthus soup Susu made for her in those years.

Jiang Huai wiped her knuckles carefully with a brocade handkerchief: "How is Susu doing recently?"

Jingyang looked at her enviously, envious and jealous, she said cryptically: "If she can think more clearly, with me by her side, maybe she will have a better life."

After a while, Jiang Huai looked at her fixedly and asked, "Jingyang, how long will you like her?"

This is the first time they have discussed this issue.

Jing Jing was not surprised, and smiled: "It's been a long time, so long that I don't know when it will end."

Jiang Huai nodded.

A plate of pastries was exchanged for gold and silver rewards, and he returned to Changji Hall with those rewards, Jingyang locked himself in the inner room and closed the door.

If she is an empress, if she is an empress...

This thought lingered in his mind like a curse, Jingyang poked his head out of the brocade quilt panting heavily!

"Don't think about it anymore, you can't think about it anymore! Even if you are an empress, you should know that Susu loves her so much that she never has an illusory identity. What she loves is a person, that person Jiang Huai!"

people?

Jiang Huai? ?

Jingyang suddenly straightened his back and sat on the soft couch: "Is it someone who Susu loves? Is it Jiang Huai?"

But isn't Jiang Huai a man?

Then Rusu...why...why did she choose herself?

How they turned upside down, and how Susu kept calling Jiang Huai on the bed...

Thinking of Jiang Huai's unusually handsome face, Jingyang's body stiffened slightly.

She rubbed her face and sighed secretly: "Ah Ci is pregnant, ridiculous, crazy, why...how could I suspect that Jiang Huai is a daughter?"

Jingyang closed her eyes, and it was undeniable that she was excited and secretly happy when the crazy thoughts swept through her mind.

But so what?

It doesn't count if you lose, but you also lose your demeanor?

She closed her eyes and simply stopped thinking about it.

Since then, Su Susu made pastries every day and entrusted Jingyang to enter the palace. Counting this time, it was the No. 11 sent by Jingyang.

After tasting eleven kinds of carefully crafted pastries with varying patterns, Jiang Huai still didn't let go and invited her into the palace.

Seeing that the queen's belly was growing day by day, the female officials did not dare to relax, and the Zhaoqi Hall was heavily guarded, not even a single snowflake could float in.

Jiang Huai's heart also gradually became tense.

The little tail in November disappeared in the vast snow, and the coldness of December officially came wrapped in a bigger snowstorm.

Su Susu stood guard outside the palace gate, and took out a golden order engraved with the word 'Jingyang' and showed it to the guard: "Excuse me, I want to see Your Highness."

Outside the Changji Hall, Jing Jing hurried out wearing a snow-white cloak.

The guard happened to be leading the people on the cobbled path. When he saw her, Jingyang quickly stepped forward, looked at her slightly pale lips, and said distressedly, "Why did you come here in heavy snow?"

Su Susu smiled at her embarrassedly, with a beautiful smile: "I miss you."

"Who, who do you think of?" Jingyang asked in disbelief with rare reddened ears.

Su Su glanced at the guard, who stepped back a few steps, and she whispered, "I miss you."

This is really too dreamy.Jing Jing led her into the Changji Hall top-heavy, with sweat clenched in his palms.Rusu... Miss her too?Did she hear correctly?

She did hear correctly.

Su Susu asked, "Why didn't you look for me yesterday?"

"Yesterday?" Jingyang was stunned: "Yesterday I played chess with the emperor's wife in Zhaoqi Palace. According to the female doctor, it's only been two days."

Su Susu carried the food box and was as gentle as water: "I'm really looking forward to it."

"What to expect?"

"Looking forward to the birth of that child."

Jingyang smiled without saying a word, and after a brief silence, she asked, "Is it also prepared for Brother Huang?"

"Do you want to eat?" Su Susu carefully picked up a small snack from inside: "Hey, I'll feed you."

It is not an exaggeration to describe this situation as flattered.Jingyang didn't expect Susu to change her mind, she smiled more sincerely: "Susu, would you like to see mine?"

Su Susu felt a little distressed, and didn't want to lie to her: "Jingyang, I could have seen it."

"That's it..." Jingyang wanted to take the opportunity to have a deep talk with her.

Unsuspecting palace servants walked in cheerfully: "Your Highness, the Zhaoqi Hall is activated! Your Majesty has already rushed over, do you want to go now?"

Hearing that Ah Ci gave birth, Jingyang jumped up from his seat excitedly: "Go right away!"

Susu followed her with the food box in hand, without saying a word.

If Jingyang is more vigilant, she will find that there is a strange light in her eyes at this moment.

That light is warm, but it also makes people feel cold for no reason...
