Xiao Jiaojiao suffered from morning sickness and had many babies, and was pampered by Qing Leng'

Jiang Mingyue and the two sat and talked, then went to Taolin with various ingredients. The peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain have long been defeated. The temperature on the mountain is lower, but some peach blossoms are still in full bloom. Looking from a distance, the earth seems to have turned pink.

The aroma of peach blossoms drifted along the mountain breeze. Jiang Mingyue couldn't help but take a deep breath. It smelled so good!

"Look, these peach blossoms are falling down one after another. It looks like it's raining peach blossoms."

Cheng Susu pointed to the peach blossoms flying in front of her.

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm' and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her, feeling much more relaxed.

At noon, Jiang Mingyue and Cheng Susu had a picnic in the peach forest and did not return to the courtyard. They were in a good mood and secretly had a drink. After drinking, they both felt guilty.

"In the future, if you don't take the medicine and I won't nurse the child, we must have a drink happily." Jiang Mingyue put down the wine glass and said.

"Yeah!" Cheng Susu nodded heavily.

At the end of the day, in the palace, Song Ming held the chess pieces for a long time without falling. He glanced at Xie Yuan where the old god was present. The situation was obviously good for him, but he had a bad feeling because of the situation in front of him. People are so good at planning.

Song Ming squinted his eyes and checked the chessboard again. Just as he was about to make a move, Eunuch Hai walked in with a happy face.

"Your Majesty, Commander Lai is back."

Song Ming immediately put down the chess piece after hearing this.

"Hurry up!"

Then he looked at Xie Yuan and said, "We won't be able to determine the outcome of this game for a while. Let's play it again tomorrow."

Xie Yuan's face stiffened for a moment, and then he looked at him in disbelief, as if to say, 'So you are such a majesty.'

Xie Yuan's rich facial expressions successfully made Song Ming laugh.

"Don't worry, I will never cheat, let alone study this game in private behind your back."

"Wei Chen, I believe in Your Majesty."

While the two were talking, Xie Yuan saw Ryan walking in, stood up and said, "Wei Chen, please leave."

He turned around, looked at Ryan, and left the imperial study.

Ryan felt a little emotional when he saw Xie Yuan. Although he had just returned to Beijing, his parents and subordinates all told him about the current situation in Beijing. Among them, the person they mentioned the most was Xie Yuan. He only used In just three months, he became the new favorite of the Holy One.

"My lord, I have met the Holy One!" Ryan knelt down and bowed respectfully.

Song Ming walked up to Ryan and reached out to help him up personally.

"You have worked hard these past few months."

"It's my honor to work for His Majesty. Wei Chen doesn't feel it's hard." Ryan took out the evidence he collected from his arms and handed it to Song Ming.

While Song Ming was looking at the evidence, Ryan told the Holy One about the situation in the Yuanjiang Mansion. He had mentioned most of the situation in his letter before, so what the Holy One already knew, he just said it in one sentence. He mainly told It's about the water army and water barbarians.

"Wei Chen has gone deep into the navy to investigate. In addition to the 150,000 troops on the surface, Zhang Zhongyue also has 30,000 private troops in his hands, and these private troops are not within the territory of our Da Chu."

Song Ming's eyes flashed when he heard this.

"In Shuiman territory?"

"Your Majesty, I have found out that Zhang Zhongyue has been secretly doing business with Shui Man in the past five years."

"So the water barbarians haven't violated the law in recent years?"

"Yes, most of the materials Zhang Zhongyue connived at and robbed from merchants were traded with Shui Man."

"What's the deal?"

"Pearls of all types, gems, salt."

Song Ming looked at Ryan when he heard this.

"Where are these things he exchanged?"

"The salt was sold to a salt dealer, and most of the money was given to the eldest princess. As for the pearls and gems, the minister was incompetent and did not find out."

"It's not that you are incompetent, it's that he hid it too deeply. I'm very relieved that you can find this out."

Song Ming put away the evidence, looked at Ryan and said gently, "This time you went deep into the Yuanjiang Mansion and narrowly escaped death several times. You brought back so much ironclad evidence and made great achievements. Do you have the reward you want?"

Song Ming originally thought that Ryan would refuse his reward this time like before, but he didn't expect that today he would become a little squeamish.

"Ok?"

"Wei Chen, I would like to ask for an imperial edict granting marriage from His Majesty."

Song Ming thought he heard wrongly, so he picked his ears.

"What did you say?"

Although Ryan was a little embarrassed, he repeated it again.

Song Ming was sure that he heard correctly and couldn't help teasing him.

"Hey! It's not easy! Your iron tree has finally bloomed. Which lady is she?"

Ryan told Song Ming about Jiang Sanniang's situation.

Just a commoner's daughter? Song Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Ryan had a special status and he really didn't want him to marry a noble lady, but...

"My status is a bit low."

"That's why I want to ask the Holy One for an imperial edict granting marriage. Besides, the Holy One also knows the situation of my family. We don't care about our family background."

Song Ming nodded.

"confirmed?"

Ryan smiled.

"I'm sure, Wei Chen likes her very much."

"It's done! I'm sure."

After hearing this, Ryan knelt down again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Get up!"

It was rare that Ryan found a girl he liked, so Song Ming asked a few gossipy questions.

Although Ryan's ears were red and he was a little embarrassed, he still told His Majesty what happened between him and Jiang Sanniang.

At dusk, Xie Yuan returned home with the pastries. He immediately noticed something unusual at home. It was too quiet. After he hurried back to the backyard to check, he saw that his wife, Yu Xing, Pingguo, and the two wet nurses were not at home. He called Chen Rong over and asked, "Where is Madam?"

"Shangqing Temple."

"When did you go?"

"We will set off at the end of the day."

He had been away for a day and must be on his way back. Thinking of this, Xie Yuan entered the study room. He wanted to read a book to pass the time. Unexpectedly, when he picked up the book, he didn't read it for a long time. His wife and children were not there. He It’s really not something I’m used to.

Finally, Xie Yuan simply put down the book, stood up and entered the kitchen.

Jiang Mingyue left Shangqing Temple very late. When she returned home, it was completely dark. If they were not afraid that they would not return for a long time, Xie Yuan would be worried, so Jiang Mingyue took her two children to eat outside.

When the last ray of sunshine disappeared from the sky, Jiang Mingyue finally returned home. Although it was dark, eight or nine red lanterns were hung in the courtyard, illuminating the entire courtyard extremely brightly.

Perhaps he heard the noise, Xie Yuan walked out of the kitchen in plain clothes, with a smile in his eyes and a gentle voice: "You must be hungry! I have prepared dinner."

This scene deeply touched Jiang Mingyue. This feeling of having someone waiting for you no matter how late you come home is really great.

She looked at Xie Yuan with a bright smile and walked towards him. At first she took one step at a time, but in the end she started to jog.

Xie Yuan looked at his wife running over, stretched out his hands in a tacit understanding, and hugged his wife.
