"You were left behind by me just like that, to marry a man who's older than you by ten years. Hanxi, you're willing?" However, Wei Tengfei said, "If you just don't want to go to the Xiluo, and accept my offer, I will immediately send you off and let your brother bring you home."
Hanxi immediately grabbed onto Wei Tengfei's big palm with his two hands. Under the man's dark and rough skin, he looked even more petite and tender. She needed to grab onto a finger with one hand to guarantee that she could use all of his strength to hold on to him.
"If you don't leave today, you'll have to suffer a lot with me in the future. You won't know when I'll die on the battlefield and you'll be widowed." Wei Tengfei said.
Hanxi stared at this man in shock. Their marriage had not even started and he was already cursing her to die. The furious bride raised her hand and slapped the groom's face.
However, Wei Tengfei was still a practitioner after all, so he was able to dodge in time. He rubbed his chin with his fingertips, frowned, and then grabbed Hanxi's hand and said: "I'm not scaring you, I'm serious."
Hanxi trembled, she lowered her eyes and thought, yes, he was right, those who lead the troops to war, if they meet with trouble, then there would be no tomorrow.
Wei Tengfei asked with a ferocious expression, "Tell me honestly, did you intentionally slap me in the valley?"
Hanxi pursed her lips and did not say a word.
Wei Tengfei snorted: "You have a habit of crying, and a habit of hitting others, I want to cure you of all things."
However, Hanxi struggled a little, and continued to hold onto the man's fingers tightly.
Wei Tengfei asked: "Follow me closely, you don't fear suffering, and aren't afraid..."
"Shut up!" Hanxi was angry, she fiercely said to his husband, "Who would want to die? So what if I die? Since you closed your eyes and don't care about me, then even if I closed my eyes to chase you, you still wouldn't be able to stop me. If you have the ability, then just die and take a look. "
Wei Tengfei laughed out loud, and carried his bride in his arms, bringing her back home steadily. When the soldiers following behind saw this scene, they whistled and jumped in joy, but boldly instigated him: "Boss, give me a kiss!"
Hanxi buried sher face in his chest, she was so embarrassed that her whole body was burning, of course Wei Tengfei wouldn't let her down, he carried her into the saddle and ran all the way back to the camp.
On the way, he said to his bride, "With you, I can't stay in the tent forever. Tomorrow we'll go see the house, although we'll have to stay here for a long time, and we'll have to have a decent home."
Of course, Hanxi was happy. She then asked curiously, "But if you don't leave here, what about the Chuanyu?"
Wei Tengfei laughed: "They are just like a part of my body, wherever I am, everything will be arranged appropriately. If there are talented people who are skilled in water elementalists, I will bring them along for a year or two and let them teach me how to train their troops, I will naturally return to the mainland. Everyone has their own strengths, so why should I try to be brave when I'm still not used to sailing? "
Hanxi said: "Then, no matter if it's Shang Jing or my Chuanyu, can you take me to see sister-in-law along the way?"
Wei Tengfei laughed: "That's inevitable, since Ling Chaofeng and I still have a lot of things to take care of, we will meet again sooner or later, so naturally we'll bring you along."
Hanxi thought longingly, "Maybe the next time we meet, my sister-in-law's child will be born."
Wei Tengfei asked: "What about us?"
There was complete silence in his arms. Hanxi did not utter a word, and Wei Tengfei thought that she was being bashful, so he did not have the heart to tease her. "Birth by yourself."
Wei Tengfei stopped his horse and looked at the person in his arms happily. He gave a heavy kiss on his fair cheek: "Hanxi, I will treat you well. I will treat you well for the rest of my life."
"Yes." Hanxi said in a sweet voice, "I won't hit you again."
On this side, the large ship went against the flow of the river, wanting to return to the capital. She also wanted to put down Ling Chaofeng and the Xiaowan halfway.
Therefore, he kept a low profile and followed behind the fleet all the time, while the Xiaowan was left on the Queen's boat, just like the other Palace Maid, appearing inconspicuous.
Naturally, the Xiaowan had received very good care of him, but being served by so many people made her feel very embarrassed, and made her and the Empress feel somewhat distant. Hanxi not being by her side made her feel even more awkward.
The empress had already noticed this, and let Xiaowan get used to the ship's bumps and bumps. Early the next morning, when they were about to ask her to eat breakfast together, she said, "Are you still scared of me? Let's discuss the matter of my brother and Hanxi together, at that time, wasn't it great?"
The Xiaowan nodded her head, "But the Empress, in the end, is still the Empress …"
Siyan waved her hand and ordered the Palace Maid to retreat. Holding her cheek, she asked: "Xiaowan, do you have any particularly deep memories of your dreams?"
Xiaowan shook her head, but quickly nodded again. She looked at the Queen nervously, and did not say anything.
Siyan said: "I think we met in a dream. Xiaowan, have you ever dreamt of a pond full of lotus flowers? The two of us can look at each other through the lotus pond. "
"Empress …" Xiaowan's eyes widened in shock, she was at a loss for words, "Empress, I … I dreamt that it was the night before I married."
The two checked the date and sure enough, it was the same night. Siyan said happily: "Why is it like this, we have never met. In fact, even in my dreams I could not see your face clearly."
Xiaowan nodded her head, "I also didn't see the Empress's face clearly."
Siyan patted the back of her hand and cheerfully said: "It seems that our fates are not shallow." However, she suddenly thought of something and calmly said, "But this kind of thing will be treated as weird and will have no meaning to others. You and I will just hide it in our hearts."
They had breakfast together, then went out on deck to see the scenery on both sides of the river. They talked about their experiences, and the relationship between them gradually became more and more intimate.
However, although she was treated very well by the Empress, Xiaowan was still worried about his husband. After eating lunch, she mustered up the courage to tell the empress that she wanted to be with Ling Chaofeng.
Siyan naturally agreed, and ordered someone to use a small boat to send Xiaowan to her husband's side.
When the fleet was close to the Baisha River, Ling Chaofeng took Xiaowan and silently left the emperor's team. Originally, the Xiaowan was still thinking of bidding farewell to the Empress, but Ling Chaofeng said that it was better not to be too flamboyant.
They entered the Baisha River on the boat, all the way to the Baisha River Pier. Coincidentally, today, Da Qing came to the pier with Little Pei to play, so it was naturally Little Pei who found out that his parents were here today, and pestered Da Qing to come along. The moment he landed and saw his son, he was overjoyed.
But her body did not let him go. Not long after she hugged Little Pei, her chest started to churn as she ran to the side of the river to vomit. Da Qing watched on from the side.
Ling Chaofeng indicated for him not to be arrogant and asked him to go into the town to bring the doctor back.
When the whole family returned to the tavern, Aunt Zhang was both happy and worried when she heard that the Xiaowan might be interested in them. She said that with her weak physique, how could she withstand the bumpiness?
Xiaowan rested for a long time. Da Qing brought the doctor over, and from the last time, he checked the doctor's pulse, and another ten days passed. This time, the doctor only touched the pulse a little, and said with a smile: "young lady is delighted."
The inside of the tavern was full of joy. Little Pei laid on the bedside and asked the Xiaowan: "Mother, do I need to have a little brother now?"
Xiaowan said, "Maybe it's little sister. Little Pei, if it was little sister, would you like his?"
Little Pei nodded his head: "I like both my brother and sister."
After a long period of liveliness, everyone finally dispersed.
Ling Chaofeng sat on the bedside and gently caressed Xiaowan's face. Although he knew what was going on, hearing the doctor speaking the truth, he was still extremely excited.
"Take good care of your body. Nothing else is important." Ling Chaofeng said, "It's all my fault. I originally wanted you to raise your body a bit more, to be two years older."
The Xiaowan replied, "That's nothing. I'm still healthy. It's a pity that I can't accompany my husband out the door. "
Ling Chaofeng said: "I won't go far. If there is anything I can do, I can do it with someone else. This year, I will be accompanying you." He carried Xiaowan in his arms and let her lie comfortably in his arms, "One year later, when the child is born, we will go out together."
Xiaowan was satisfied. Her body was tired, so she slept in her husband's embrace comfortably. She muttered: "We will be together no matter where we go."
They had only been home for a few days, and that meant they had to go to La Eight. It was the custom at Ling Xiao Inn, to go to town every year the day before La Eight's porridge was cooked.
This year, Aunt Zhang had a new wife and children, so she prepared more attentively. She wanted to spread her good fortune and pray for Xiaowan and his children. Early in the morning, she brought Little Pei and majestically went out.
When they left the house, Little Pei was still downstairs waving at the Xiaowan, shouting, "Mother, let me bring you something nice to eat."
Master Mu brought a pair of children over from under the bridge. When Wen Bao smelled the fragrance of the porridge, he said that he wanted to drink the porridge. Master Mu snappily said: "Go see your mother first."
Today, was the day that Master Mu was allowed to visit the prison. He had brought the two children along, but once they were outside the prison, Wen Bao refused to enter no matter what, and started crying loudly in front of the door.
