The Wife is First

It rained for an hour in the yard. Jing Shao didn't speak or move. Mu Hanzhang stayed with him quietly, holding him and sitting in the rain for an hour. When he calmed down, he dragged him Go inside to take a shower and change clothes.

Although the villa was used by Jing Shao for military training, it was still a royal villa. It had everything it needed, including hot springs and running water. There is a large hot spring pool in Jingshao's main courtyard, but because it was raining, I couldn't wash in the open air, so I took a dip in the small pool inside to get rid of the cold.

"Sneeze!" Mu Hanzhang coaxed Jing Shao to drink a bowl of ginger soup, but he sneezed.

"You should drink a bowl quickly." Jing Shao handed him the ginger soup and took a towel to wipe his hair. Only then did he remember that Jun Qing was not in good health. He was frozen when he was a child. Although the spring rain It wasn't cold, but sitting in the rain for an hour would make most people sick, let alone him. Thinking of this, he hurriedly pushed Mu Hanzhang to soak in the hot spring for a while.

"I'm in good health," Mu Hanzhang said with a smile after seeing Jing Shao's intention. "I couldn't get sick even if I knelt in the rain for three hours before. What's more..." Seeing Jing Shao's expression change, Mu Hanzhang said Zhang realized that he had spilled the beans again and hurriedly pulled him to bed.

Because it was built for rest and play, the bed in the other courtyard was much wider than that in the palace. Jing Shao climbed into the bed twice and lay down next to Mu Hanzhang, with a hint of anger in his eyes: "Why?"

"The nanny made a mistake at that time. In order to protect her," Mu Hanzhang leaned on the large pillows at the head of the bed and used the cloth and medicine he had just found to bandage the wound on his hand. "The child punished me." Isn’t it normal to kneel down?”

At that time, the wet nurse's son was caught stealing things from the house, and the lady wanted to drive them out. When he fell into the lake, it was the nanny who took care of him without taking off his clothes and saved his life. His wife didn't give her a way to survive. In the final analysis, she still disliked him as a bastard. I knelt for three hours, but my grandmother couldn't bear it anymore, so she saved the wet nurse and her son, but drove them up to Zhuangzi.

When Jing Shao heard this, a wry smile appeared on his lips: "Yes, I knelt in front of Qinzheng Hall all day and night.

Mu Hanzhang covered the person next to him with a quilt, slid down, propped his head with one hand, and looked at him while lying on his side: "One day and one night?" King Cheng was the legitimate legitimate son, so how could he not live a satisfactory life in the palace?

"At that time, I insisted on going to the military camp. My father said that if I could kneel in front of the Qinzheng Palace for twelve hours, I would be allowed to go." Jing Shao laughed at himself, "Without the protection of my mother, my brother and I were in the palace. The life of the eldest prince was worse than that of the eldest prince who favored his concubine. At that time, all I wanted to do was lead the troops, seize the military power, and kill all those who bullied me!"

Mu Hanzhang frowned, put his hand on Jing Shao's head and stroked it gently, but said nothing.

The gentle touch made Jing Shao squint his eyes in comfort, and took a deep breath. What he smelled was the faint fragrance of Jun Qing, which gradually calmed down his manic mood: "When I was a child, my mother would make small clothes for me with her own hands, and she also made The particularly delicious sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I broke her favorite orchid and she beat me up. She cried before I could cry. She hugged me and asked me if it hurt..." As he spoke, Jing Shao His eyes became moist.

The man sheds tears easily because he has not reached the sad point. For a strong person like Jing Shao, it becomes even more heartbreaking when he sheds tears. Looking at Jing Shao like this, Mu Hanzhang felt extremely pitiful. He slowly lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss between his frowning eyebrows.

Jing Shao opened his eyes to look at him, turned over and buried his face in Mu Hanzhang's chest, fearing that he would see his embarrassment.

Mu Hanzhang lay down, hugged him, and gently stroked his back, like soothing a wounded animal, caressing him again and again. Jing Shao, who was exhausted, gradually fell asleep under such a beautiful touch.

'Xiao Shao'er, you are about to have a younger brother or younger sister...'

'Even with younger siblings, Xiao Shao'er is still the queen's favorite child...'

‘It’s popular! It’s a big hit! ’ Among the confused figures, who is screaming? Where is the queen mother?

'Shao, don't be afraid, it's okay, everything has passed...' Whose voice was so nice? The blood-red scene in front of my eyes gradually dissipated, leaving only a gentle face and an unparalleled handsome man in the cool spring rain. Zhong looked at him with a smile. The nightmare never appeared again, and there was only peace in the misty dream.

The next day, when Jing Shao woke up, the person beside him who had comforted him all night had not yet woken up. He looked up at that person's peaceful sleeping face, and remembered the gentle kiss last night, and only now did he come back to it. Although the kiss only reached between his eyebrows, it made him excited. He slowly leaned forward and placed a kiss under the eyes with a faint green shadow.

Mu Hanzhang slowly opened his eyes and saw a handsome face close at hand. He was in a daze for a moment before he woke up: "Your Majesty..."

"I told you, you are not allowed to call me Prince in private. I will punish you one at a time." Jing Shao dissatisfied and kissed him hard on the lips.

Mu Hanzhang blushed and accepted this "punishment". Why does this person have so many names? "But it's awkward to be called 'Shao' alone, and you don't have a nickname... So, do you have a nickname?"

"My mother and brother all call me 'Xiao Shao'er'." A certain prince gave his nickname rather shamelessly.

This sticky name made him shiver. Mu Hanzhang's mouth twitched and he chuckled: "'Little Spoon', this name is really good."

"It's 'Xiao Shao'er'!" Jing Shao said dissatisfied.

"Well, Xiaoshao, I'll call you that from now on." Mu Hanzhang patted his head, stood up and started to get dressed.

Jing Shao's eyes widened. Was he being teased by his own princess?

When Jing Shao returned to the palace, he was stopped by Mr. Yun and asked him to deal with the consequences of yesterday's horse riding in the downtown area. Mu Hanzhang went back to Dongyuan to catch up on his sleep.

"Your Majesty, I have some clues about what you asked me to investigate." After finishing a bunch of chores, Mr. Yun mentioned the news that had just arrived, "It is about the princess who fell into the water when she was a child."

The servants of the Beiweihou Mansion change every three years. After many years, many people who knew about it are no longer in the mansion. Even if some are there, they keep the matter secret. This seems to be a taboo in the Beiweihou Mansion. After many twists and turns, the people sent by Mr. Yun found out that the nanny who had taken care of Mu Hanzhang when he was a child actually heard the whole story from the nanny at a farm owned by Mrs. Beiwei Hou.

Back then, Mrs. Beiwei Hou made a fur cloak for each of her two grandsons, Mu Lingbao a fox fur cloak and Mu Hanzhang a rabbit fur cloak. Because Mu Hanzhang was so good-looking, Mu Lingbao felt that the cloak on his younger brother was better than his, so he insisted on snatching it away, and pushed him into the lotus pond while tearing him apart. There were two cousins ​​present at the time, and the three children ran away with the stolen fur cloak in a noisy manner, leaving the three-year-old Mu Hanzhang struggling in the thin-ice pond. Fortunately, the nanny arrived. , fished him out, and it took him half a year of illness to save his life.

"You bastard!" After Jing Shao heard this, he raised his hand and threw the cup in his hand. Mrs. Beiwei Hou must have kicked the servants out and put them away in order to preserve her son's reputation, and no one was allowed to mention it again. The royal family would not allow an unjust person who killed his brothers to become the crown prince.

Walking around the room with his hands behind his back, he turned around and said to Mr. Yun: "I have two things for you to do now. One, check out Lingbao's daily whereabouts, hobbies, people he associates with, and the places he frequents; second, Find people to spread around the capital, the fourth prince Jing Yu likes to eat raw meat, don’t say much else."

Mr. Yun understood the first thing, but why did the fourth prince like to eat raw meat?

"Don't Jing Yu like the raw fish meat from Japan? It's just a matter of omitting the word "fish", so you can do it." Jing Shao curled his lips and smiled coldly. It's just spreading rumors, who wouldn't? He could kill 500 surrendered troops and turn them into 100,000 prisoners. I wonder what the fourth prince’s little hobby will become. It’s really exciting!

After Jing Shao had someone release the news, he stayed at home with his wife every day, practicing swordplay, and reading, enjoying this rare leisure time. Mu Hanzhang also reviewed the palace's three-year account books in a few days.

Looking at the monthly balance on the account, the side wife's monthly silver was fifty taels, so as the concubine, his monthly silver was at least eighty taels. In this way, the problem of not having any cash on hand was solved. Mu Hanzhang closed the last door. This accountant let out a sigh of relief, this is much more than his monthly salary as a juren.

"Yunzhu, take this and go and collect my salary for last month." Suddenly remembering that he still had a salary to receive, Mu Hanzhang handed a document to Yunzhu. Although it was very meager, After all, it is an income. "The money you receive is yours."

"Really!" Yunzhu immediately became energetic, "Thank you, Princess!" He grabbed the piece of paper, put it into his arms, and ran out happily.

"Master!" Lan Xuan hurried in.

"What's wrong?" Mu Hanzhang motioned for her to speak slowly.

"Grandma Zhou's little daughter came to see you today, but was stopped by the guards at a side door. My servant talked to her at the door..." Lan Xuan said hurriedly, but his words were incoherent.

"What happened?" Mu Hanzhang frowned, "Did something happen to her family?" Grandma Zhou refers to his nanny. She must have encountered difficulties when she asked a little daughter to come to find him who was already married.

"Her son broke his leg the day before yesterday and has no money for medical treatment. The people in the village said that their family is old and disabled, and they can't work and eat food for free. They want to drive them out." Lan Ting, who came later, hurriedly took the hand. Otherwise, Lan Xuan's stupid talk will make the young master angry. "She comes to you because she wants to borrow some silver from you."

"I understand, you go down." Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips. He had no cash in his hand, but there were some jewels in his dowry, but pawning the dowry just after he got married was like slapping his husband in the face, which was absolutely unacceptable.

In the garden, Jing Shao was dressed in a white outfit and danced smoothly with a long sword. After practicing a set of sword skills, Jing Shao stopped his sword skills and happened to see his own princess standing by the rockery. He threw the sword to the maid aside and wiped his sweat with a cloth. He walked to Mu Hanzhang and saw that he was about to speak. He stopped and said with a slight smile: "Jun Qing, is something wrong?"

Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said softly: "Can you lend me a hundred taels of silver?"
