Emperor's Grace

He Huailing returned to the General Military Mansion the day before the wedding, and the mansion was decorated with lights and festoons everywhere, everything was ready, and every busy servant had a beaming smile on his face.

He Huailing went straight to the courtyard where Zhu Yunjing lived, and before entering the house, he heard Yuan Bao calling, he smiled, and walked in briskly.

Xu Shixian was also there, playing chess and drinking tea with Zhu Yunjing. Yuan Bao was lying on Zhu Yunjing's lap, staring at the chessboard curiously, making unclear noises from time to time.

He Huailing didn't expect Zhu Yunjing to really help him treat Xu Shixian thoughtfully, and it's strange to see the two of them getting along so peacefully and indifferently.

He Huailing coughed lowly, and the two people who were playing chess turned their eyes at the same time. He Huailing stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Why are you playing chess?"

"It's just to pass the time." Zhu Yunjing fiddled with the chess pieces, and answered him in a calm voice.

Xu Shixian stood up: "You guys talk, I'll go back first, so I won't bother you."

He Huailing said: "Let's have dinner together later, I'll ask someone to prepare wine, let's have two glasses together."

"it is good."

After Xu Shixian left, He Huailing casually grabbed the blanket on the side of the couch, and covered Zhu Yunjing's body: "It's not hot yet, why are you wearing such thin clothes, don't catch a cold."

The neglected Yuan Bao raised his head, trying hard to get out from under the blanket, waving his hands and babbling in protest, Zhu Yunjing gave He Huailing a hard look, and quickly fished him out: "You Want to suffocate him?"

He Huailing took Yuan Bao over with a smile, and flew up and down with the person in his arms. Yuan Bao immediately beamed and was overjoyed.

Hearing the giggles of his silly son, Zhu Yunjing was speechless, a typical fool who was sold and could help count the money.

After playing with Yuan Bao for a while, He Huailing asked the nanny to take him away, sat down next to Zhu Yunjing, and put his arms around his waist: "Have I made you unhappy again? I haven't seen you for a few days without even smiling ah?"

Zhu Yunjing was too lazy to move, relying on He Huailing, she only raised her eyelids: "Why don't you just come back tomorrow?"

It turned out that he disliked him for coming back late, so He Huailing held back a smile and explained: "Something happened to delay it."

"what's up?"

"I received the news the day before yesterday that the Yuzhen Kingdom in the northeast sent troops to the other two small tribal countries next to him. The action was very fast. Those two small countries had no power to fight back. They have already asked the imperial court to ask me, Dayan, for help. "

Zhu Yunjing frowned upon hearing this: "Will it affect Qiongguan?"

"No for the time being. Yuzhen Kingdom is far away from Qiongguan, but just in case, I have strengthened the security in the army. I have been dealing with these matters for the past two days, so I came back a little late."

"How will the court react?"

"It's hard to say, let's take a look." He Huailing shook his head, and then talked about something else, "You and...you get along well?"

Hearing the sourness in He Huailing's tone, Zhu Yunjing sneered: "You left him alone, I'm bored here, what's wrong with asking him to play chess with me?"

"...It's nothing, as long as you're happy." He Huailing tilted his head and kissed Zhu Yunjing's earlobe lightly, "Is it really boring?"

"One thing," Zhu Yunjing said honestly, "It's quite boring without anyone to talk to."

"Then do you want to go outside?"

When the word "think" came to her lips, Zhu Yunjing hesitated again: "Forget it, let's talk about it in two years."

"Okay... what did you talk to him about?"

"He said that there are people in his family who are engaged in business. When he learned that I intend to go to Fujian and Guangdong to do maritime business, he said that he is willing to help me explore the road first. We reached a verbal agreement. Knowing nothing."

He Huailing said sourly: "You trust him so much?"

Zhu Yunjing glanced at him: "He is your confidant and best friend, don't you believe him?"

He Huailing laughed when he heard those words deliberately biting down: "I believe it."

"That's fine. You trust him, and I trust you."

He Huailing's heart felt hot, and she hugged Zhu Yunjing tightly: "Queer..."

At dinner that day, He Huailing also called Jiang Yan over. For the first time, Jiang Yan saw Mrs. Hou who was going to pass the door tomorrow. His eyes were wider than gongs. "You, you, you" didn't say a complete sentence for a long time In terms of words, Zhu Yunjing didn't have a good impression of him, and didn't bother to talk to him at all. He Huailing pushed him down and reminded him: "You just need to be clear in your heart, but don't reveal your secrets in front of others."

This was a decision made after discussions between He Huailing and Zhu Yunjing. Among He Huailing's subordinates, only Jiang Yan came from Beijing, and He Huailing trusted him, so it's better to let him know the truth.

Jiang Yan finally recovered from the shock. No matter how the crown prince became the general's wife, since he already is, he is one of his own. He slapped his chest and assured him: "General, don't worry, I am a rough person. One, there is still a sense of propriety, never tell anyone what should not be said!"

Xu Shixian asked them: "Didn't you say that there are tens of thousands of people coming from the middle of Beijing? It's hard to guarantee that none of them has seen His Highness."

"I will try my best to wear a veiled hat when I go out, just be careful, if someone really recognizes me, I will have to admit that I am unlucky." Zhu Yunjing said indifferently.

He Huailing squeezed his hand and said with a smile, "If we are recognized, we will run away together again."

It was the first time for Jiang Yan to see He Huailing like this, so he couldn't help being amazed, but Zhu Yunjing didn't appreciate it: "Forget it, how can I miss your future, I don't want to lose my life again, I will be careful .”

He Huailing smiled and shook his head, duplicity.

Xu Shixian's eyes flicked back and forth between them, and he was a little more relieved. He raised his glass and said with a smile: "In that case, I first wish that Your Highness and Lord Hou will know each other lovingly, and that the white heads will never be separated."

After Xu Shixian finished speaking, he raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth. Zhu Yunjing bumped He Huailing's arm with a smile, and there was a trace of teasing in his eyes. He Huailing didn't know why, and drank the wine without thinking too much.

With a blushing face, Jiang Yan choked out a sentence: "Then I wish you all the best of luck!"

Zhu Yunjing: "..."

He Huailing almost choked out the wine he just drank.

This General Army Mansion is full of his confidantes who brought him from Beijing, and the fact that there is an extra child has not leaked the slightest word. After hesitating, He Huailing did not say anything about it. It is really a bit disgraceful to have a child out of wedlock , forget it.

In the end, the first four people drank too much, and the wedding was going to be held tomorrow, so He Huailing had to call it a stop, and asked someone to send Jiang Yan back, and settled down with Xu Shixian, then picked up Zhu Yunjing, who was already drunk, and went back to the house .

He Huailing put him on the couch, and asked someone to prepare hangover soup, Zhu Yunjing leaned limply on him, hiccupped, squinted his eyes and murmured: "You ask someone to get me a piece of wood. "

"What do you want that for?"

"Don't worry about it, you just ask someone to get it."

He Huailing only thought that he was drunk and playing with his temper, followed his wishes, and really asked someone to find a piece of wood, Zhu Yunjing shook it in his hand: "No, it's too thin."

"Then change it."

"This one doesn't work either, it's too short."

In the end, He Huailing asked someone to get a table of wood for him. Zhu Yunjing found the most satisfactory piece from it, and asked He Huailing for a dagger. He Huailing worried, "What are you doing? Don't hurt your hands."

Zhu Yunjing stared in confusion, and said impatiently: "Just give it to me, why bother so much?"

He Huailing had no choice but to hand over the dagger, watching his movements carefully, ready to snatch it back at any time.Zhu Yunjing stopped talking to him, holding the dagger, carving and carving on the piece of wood, very focused.

He Huailing couldn't laugh or cry: "Que'er, what are you carving?"

"Not your business."

Zhu Yunjing didn't even raise her head, she was obviously drunk and unconscious, but she was concentrating on the work in hand, and refused to drink the hangover soup that He Huailing handed over, squinting her eyes from time to time, her face was flushed with drunkenness.

He Huailing stared at him for a while, seeing that he was about to swear that he would never stop writing, so he let him go, took the book and flipped through it wholeheartedly, looking at Zhu Yunjing from time to time.

After half an hour, Zhu Yunjing threw away the thing in his hand: "No more engraving."

He Huailing picked it up and looked at it, but couldn't see what was carved crookedly, so she heard Zhu Yunjing mumbling and complaining: "Others can carve phoenixes for phoenixes, but my phoenixes are not as good as chickens, no wonder you think I'm stupid ..."

He Huailing didn't know why, and saw that Zhu Yunjing was about to cry, looking at him with aggrieved eyes, he subconsciously raised his hand, and pressed the red corners of Zhu Yunjing's eyes: "Queer, I really didn't I think you are stupid, you think too much."

Zhu Yunjing's eyeballs moved, and she lowered her eyes: "...then this is for you."

"give me?"

He Huailing was a little surprised, but Zhu Yunjing thought he didn't want it, so he snatched the woodcarving back from him, which wasn't even a semi-finished product, and threw it out of the window: "No, it's ugly."

He Huailing: "..."

After coaxing Zhu Yunjing to wash up, He Huailing hugged him to bed and finally put him to sleep. He kissed Zhu Yunjing on the forehead, got up and blew out the candle, and went out.

Finding what Zhu Yunjing threw out under the wall, He Huailing smiled helplessly, put it away, and went back to the room where she lived.

The steward led his servants to bring over the wedding clothes to be worn tomorrow. He Huailing was playing with the wood in his hand thoughtfully. The steward glanced at the things in his hand, paused for a moment, and was about to retreat. He Huailing He stopped him: "Ma'am, why did he suddenly become interested in woodcarving? Have you ever seen him play with this before?"

"……No."

Seeing the steward's words flickering, He Huailing lowered his voice: "Tell the truth."

The steward had no choice but to bite the bullet and told him what Zhu Yunjing asked him to ask a few days ago: "The old general told you to keep the matter from you, and I had no choice but to ask the Marquis not to blame you."

He Huailing was stunned, and his eyes fell back on the wood in his hand. After a while, he laughed silently: "So it's like this..."
