The son-in-law is too shy

At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, on the fertile pastures, galloping horses, cattle and sheep are everywhere, and the spring breeze blows, making blue waves.

"Drive." The horse's hooves galloped across the pasture, carrying a woman in white clothes who was snow-covered and ran forward.

Passing the herd of cattle and sheep, you can see a yurt from a distance, and outside the yurt from far to near, a woman in Tsing Yi hangs the washed clothes on the rack to dry. When seeing the woman in white clothes coming on a horse, those beautiful peach blossom eyes could not help but bend into a faint smile.

She put down the things in her hands and went up, but the woman in white reined in her horse and stopped when she was approaching, turned over and got off the horse, loosened the reins, and walked quickly towards the woman in green.

"Thank you, Sanniang." Seeing someone approaching, the woman in Tsing Yi frowned, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, and she smiled warmly.

Li Qiushuang looked at her, dazzled by her undisguised smile, and unconsciously laughed too. She stepped forward to hold someone's hand, and frowned unconsciously after feeling a little cold.

"It's fine to wash the clothes when I come back. You can't stand the cold, and you still touch the cold water." The tone of rebuke, but there is still a hint of pampering.

The smile on Xu Huai'an's face was even stronger, she couldn't help sticking to Li Qiushuang's side, and said with a smile: "I've had my period for several days, it's okay, I'm not so fragile."

"You." Li Qiushuang shook her head and smiled helplessly.

"It's you, what did your elder brother say?" Xu Huai'an asked.

Hearing that Xu Huai'an mentioned this matter, Li Qiushuang paused for a moment, and then said: "Father...has a funeral."

Xu Huaian paused.

Two years have passed since the palace change. On the third day after the palace change, they set off for the Western Regions and lived in seclusion in this vast grassland. One month after the palace change, Emperor Wen passed on to be the crown prince, and then went to He went to Nanling Temple to be ordained and become a monk, chanting Buddhist scriptures every day.

Some people say that Emperor Wen is repenting and making atonement. There are too many karmic debts, so they should be repaid.

Xu Huai'an didn't say much, Emperor Wen owed her too much, far from being able to make up for it like this, but because of Li Qiushuang, she chose to let Emperor Wen go.

The Xuanyin Palace was disbanded, and the grievances between Langxuan and Xuanyin ended. When she left the Central Plains, she entrusted Langxuan to Jiang Sheng, and then she and Li Qiushuang lived here in seclusion, herding cattle and sheep. Have a good time.

Now, when she suddenly heard that Emperor Wen had gone, Xu Huai'an found that her mood was very calm, even when she heard the news of the death of her enemy...just...

She glanced at Li Qiushuang worriedly, and saw that her expression was as usual, but there was a hint of sadness hidden deep in her brows and eyes.

She paused, and then said: "Go and clean up, we will leave tomorrow."

Li Qiushuang glanced at her in surprise, Xu Huai'an looked away awkwardly, and said in a low voice, "I miss dad and the others too, I want to go back and have a look."

The corners of Li Qiushuang's lips raised slightly, and she couldn't help leaning over to kiss Xu Huaian's corners: "Okay, then let's go back and have a look."

At night, Xu Huai'an seemed like a dissatisfied little beast, pulling Li Qiushuang upside down and asking for it again and again, and after a gluttonous meal, he lazily lay on the bed with Li Qiushuang in his arms.

Seeing her satisfied appearance, Li Qiushuang couldn't help asking her why she was so excited today, Xu Huai'an hesitated to answer, but Li Qiushuang's hands fell on Xu Huai'an's sensitive parts to stir up the flames, how could Xu Huai'an, who had just died out, bear this Like teasing, after a few strokes, he made a pool of spring water, and finally spoke out under Li Qiushuang's coercion and temptation.

"If you go to observe filial piety for him, I won't be able to be with you every day." The corners of Xu Huai'an's eyes were red with emotion, and his peach blossom eyes were full of water vapor. Looking at him like this, he felt a little wronged.

When Li Qiushuang heard her so delicate and complaining, she felt her heart softened for a moment. She gently kissed the corner of Xu Huaian's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Although he is sorry for me, he is also my father. His blood is there. I promise you that I will only stay for three months, which can be regarded as a reward for his many years of giving birth to me."

Xu Huai'an snorted and muttered, "I don't mean to blame you."

"Yes, I know." Li Qiushuang responded, and the moment her fingertips penetrated, she was wrapped in warmth and firmness, in exchange for Xu Huai'an's low voice.

One night, the clouds and rain stopped at dawn.

Xu Huai'an, who originally planned to leave early the next morning, fell asleep until the next afternoon, but still felt sore and weak in the waist and limbs.

On the bedside was the clothes washed with soap locusts, Xu Huai'an took them and put them on, stepped on the buckskin boots and left the yurt, and from a distance, he saw Li Qiushuang and the two standing on the pasture and talking, the two became red One purple, it looks extraordinarily gorgeous on the green grass.

Xu Huaian's eyelids twitched, the woman in red seemed to have noticed something, she turned her head and looked over, seeing Xu Huaian couldn't help smiling.

"Yo, Missy is awake?"

The tone was full of jokes.

Seeing her, Li Qiushuang walked towards the person quickly, walked up to the person, and asked in a low voice: "Have you slept well?"

Xu Huai'an glared at her reproachfully, snorted softly and ignored her, but looked at the two people who were walking side by side, and asked, his voice still a little hoarse.

"Why are you two here?"

Mi Yan frowned, looked at Li Qiushuang angrily, and then said: "She said that you are going back to the Central Plains, and it is estimated that you will stay for a long time, so I asked my concubine to find someone to help you look after the pasture."

Xu Huai'an immediately understood, and then glanced at Rong Lian who was beside Miyan, and said with a smile, "Why haven't you returned to Miaojiang?"

"Miss Xu is so looking forward to my family's departure?" Rong Lian asked with a delicate smile.

Xu Huai'an glanced at Mi Yan, and found that her eyes were closed and her lips were pursed, so she couldn't help but bend her lips and said, "Why, I just asked to see if it's on the way."

When she saw Mi Yan's eyelids lifted calmly, she couldn't help blinking at Rong Lian quietly.

Rong Lian is so smart, he immediately realized Xu Huai'an's intentions, and continued: "That's right, I listened to the Young Palace Master and you will leave tomorrow, if that is the case, I will go with you, anyway, I am here It's not popular with some people, so it's better to leave earlier, so we can have someone to take care of us on the way."

Mi Yan's brows knit together unconsciously.

Seeing this, Xu Huai'an suppressed the smile in his heart, and deliberately said: "Alright, I plan to go to the Central Plains this time when I go back. If possible, I would like to visit Miaojiang."

"Okay, the slave family will show Miss Xu around."

The two sang together, as if they didn't see Mi Yan's darkening face at all, Li Qiushuang watched from the side and shook her head helplessly.

"Miyan."

Mi Yan, who was suddenly named, looked at Xu Huai'an who called her with an unkind expression, and snorted coldly, "What are you doing?"

Xu Huai'an smiled harmlessly: "I'll trouble you to take care of the pasture."

Mi Yan: "..."

She couldn't hold back her desire to kill someone.

Because she was leaving tomorrow, Rong Lian simply stayed with Xu Huai'an. There were three yurts, one for reception and one master bedroom. The only guest room was given to Rong Lian, so it was "natural" that Mi Yan disappeared. Where they lived, Xu Huai'an directly and unceremoniously drove him away, his teeth itching with smoke.

Chasing Mi Yan away, because they were leaving early tomorrow morning, the three of them took a rest early, the next morning, while Xu Huai'an was still in a daze, he heard a commotion outside, and got up to look in a daze, but saw Li Qiushuang came in from the outside and couldn't help asking.

"What's the matter, it's so noisy."

"It's Mi Yan, who brought over a dozen Rakshasa sect disciples." Li Qiushuang said, "Do you want to sleep again?"

When Xu Huai'an heard that Mi Yan had brought someone here, he regained his energy immediately, shook his head and said, "Don't sleep, don't sleep anymore, if you sleep again, you won't be able to leave today."

Li Qiushuang also followed her, fetched clothes for others to change, left the yurt, saw Mi Yan talking to a group of Rakshasa sect disciples from a distance, Xu Huai'an frowned and called out.

"Miyan!"

Mi Yan glanced at her, said something before walking over, Xu Huaian looked at her and said, "What are you doing?"

"These people are selected by my concubine from the Rakshasa Gate. Before entering the family, the family lived by grazing animals. You can rest assured that you have them in this pasture." Mi Yan said.

"What about you?" Xu Huai'an asked intentionally.

"Concubine body? Concubine body is a dignified Rakshamen Dharma protector, you let concubine body herd the sheep? It's impossible even if you think about it, your lord said that if you want concubine body to follow you, you will follow wherever you go." Mi Yan's eyes were a little erratic, The tone is pretending to be relaxed.

"Oh~" Xu Huai'an looked at Mi Yan meaningfully, and smiled ambiguously.

Seeing her like that, Mi Yan felt panicked, and hurriedly said: "If you don't believe me, you can ask your lord."

Xu Huaian naturally wouldn't ask, Mi Yan has already thought of a solution, some people are elm lumps in some things, it's been five years, the two of them should be frozen here, it's hard to watch .

During breakfast, Rong Lian frowned when he saw Mi Yan, and glanced at Xu Huai'an, only to see him standing and blinking at her, suddenly understood, couldn't help but bend his lips, feeling a little happy while eating.

After breakfast, the four of them took simple luggage, one person and one horse, and rushed to the Central Plains at full speed.

They traveled lightly and arrived in Luoyang City within half a month.

On the day of the Supreme Emperor's funeral, the new emperor ordered the whole country to mourn in March, so the city of Luoyang seemed a little solemn at the moment.

Due to the funeral, Xu Huai'an ordered Mi Yan and Rong Lian to change into plain clothes, and the four of them entered the city, Xu Huaian drove Mi Yan and Rong Lian to another courtyard, and brought Li Qiushuang back to Xu's house.

When Mi Yan heard this, she pulled Rong Lian and turned around to leave. It looked like she didn't want to stay with Xu Huai'an any longer.

Xu Huaian didn't bother to care about it, and took Li Qiushuang to knock on the door of Xu's house.

The boy who opened the door was stunned for a moment when he saw the two, and then asked where they were from and what they were doing in the prime minister's mansion, before Xu Huai'an could open his mouth, he heard a burst of exclamation.

"Huian?!"

Xu Huai'an raised his head, and saw Xu Huaiyuan walking towards a pregnant girl, who seemed very familiar.

Xu Huai'an was stunned for a moment, then blinked and looked at the two of them and said, "Brother... General Zhao?"

Xu Huaiyuan stepped forward, knocked Xu Huai'an on the head without hesitation, and said, "General Zhao, this is your sister-in-law."

Xu Huai'an covered his head, seeing Zhao Ying's uncontrollable amused expression, and then reacted belatedly.

The eldest lady of Ningguo Mansion, who looked down on the children of civil servants, is now married to her eldest brother, a civil servant?

Xu Huai'an couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Sister-in-law is just sister-in-law, brother, why are you beating me, and you didn't notify me in advance!"

"You didn't say you were coming back." Xu Huaiyuan said unhappily, looking at the pretty girl in front of him, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

After the turmoil in the palace, Xu Huai'an went back to Xu's house. Seeing that his older brother had turned into a younger sister, Xu Huaiyuan felt that he was not in good shape, especially when Xu Yitang personally admitted Xu Huai'an's identity. Oh no.

Especially in this family, everyone except him seems to know about this matter, he is the only one who is stupid and unaware, oh, no, there is also Xu Wanqing, but when he asked, Xu Wanqing said that she had already guessed Xu Huai'an His identity, so in the end, he was the only one who didn't know.

Xu Huaiyuan expressed his anger.

"What's the fuss?" Xu Yitang's voice suddenly came.

Xu Huaiyuan suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Yitang with a chill on his back, and then heard Xu Huai'an shout: "Father, brother hit me!"

Justified grievance.

The corners of Xu Huaiyuan's lips twitched, and sure enough, he saw Xu Yitang's eyebrows twitched, and he shouted with displeasure: "You bastard! An'er finally came back, but you, an older brother, still beat others. Ya wait, not allowed to go home!"

Xu Huaiyuan: "???"

In the past, his father was falsely eccentric, but now his father is really eccentric. Since he clarified Xu Huai'an's identity, Xu Huai'an's status in the Xu family has risen, and he has become the treasure of the Xu family, and he... just don't say anything.

"Ying'er, An'er, and the Third Highness, come in." Xu Yitang stopped caring about Xu Huaiyuan, and went back to the room by himself after speaking to the three of them.

Seeing this, Xu Huai'an made a face at Xu Huaiyuan, then turned to Zhao Ying and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go."

As she said that, she helped Zhao Ying to walk in. Zhao Ying glanced at her husband, saw someone curled her lips at her aggrievedly, a smile unconsciously curled up on her lips, and walked in with Xu Huai'an.

Xu Huaiyuan looked at Xu Huai'an's undisguised bright smile, and unconsciously bent his lips, heaving a sigh of relief.

very nice.

Because of the sudden return of Xu Huai'an and Xu Huai'an, the Xu family also became lively, but during the funeral of the old emperor, the family just had a simple vegetarian meal at night and talked a lot. He became more cheerful, and told Li Qiushuang a lot about Xu Huai'an's childhood, until late at night, the family broke up.

Early the next morning, Xu Huaian and Li Qiushuang entered the palace. Li Chengxu was still in the early court, so the two went to Fengyi Palace to meet Xu Wanqing. The new emperor had been on the throne for two years, and there was only one empress in the harem. Gathered a group of veterans.

If you don't have a concubine, you won't be greeted, so Xu Wanqing didn't get up to wash up until the two arrived, and was in the process of dressing up.

The two drank tea in the front hall and waited quietly. Not long after, Xu Wanqing, who was dressed in plain palace attire, came out and saw warm smiles on the lips of the two.

"Third Sister, Third Highness."

"Meet the empress."

The two stood up and wanted to salute, but Xu Wanqing quickly stepped forward and stopped them. She gave them a reproachful look and said, "Whatever salutes, they are all from my own family. Don't change my queen, just call me as usual." .”

"Okay, I will listen to sister." Xu Huai'an said with a smile.

Xu Wanqing couldn't help chuckling, and then asked the two to sit down and said: "Your Majesty will have a while, have you two eaten breakfast?"

"Used." Li Qiushuang replied.

Xu Wanqing nodded and said: "When His Majesty comes back, use less. You two brothers and sisters haven't been together for a long time."

"Okay." Li Qiushuang pursed her lips.

The three had a conversation, and not long after Li Chengxu came back from the court, he saw the three of them talking and laughing, and the gloom between their brows disappeared.

"Shuang'er, Miss Xu." He strode in, Xu Wanqing saw him coming, and took the initiative to take off his cloak and hand it to the maid at the side, and let him sit down in the first seat.

Li Chengxu smiled at Xu Wanqing, then looked at the two of them and asked, "When did you two come back?"

"It arrived yesterday." Li Qiushuang replied.

Li Chengxu nodded, then sighed again, and said: "After what happened back then, my father became a monk in Nanling, and my mother has since then learned in simple terms. Now that my father is gone, my mother is hidden in the deep palace. Every time I greet you, I see my mother haggard. .”

Li Qiushuang pursed her lips, but said nothing.

"You're back, go and accompany your mother." Li Chengxu said.

"Well, I'll go to put incense sticks on Father Emperor first." Li Qiushuang closed her eyes and responded.

"Alright." Li Chengxu nodded.

After Li Chengxu left the court, Xu Wanqing ordered someone to bring breakfast, Li Qiushuang and Xu Huaian briefly used it, and then went to the Ming Hall to offer incense to Emperor Wen.

The Ming Hall is the royal ancestral hall, and on it are the successive emperors and empresses of the Great Qin Dynasty. Looking at the ranking of Emperor Wen, Li Qiushuang was in a daze for a while.

She took the incense from the young eunuch, bowed to Emperor Wen three times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

"Royal father." Li Qiushuang said, her voice was slightly hoarse.

"If there is an afterlife, my daughter will be happy with you again. If you meet your uncle, then you should admit your mistake."

Li Qiushuang spoke in a low voice, then kowtowed again, and then slowly got up.

Standing outside, Xu Huai'an looked at her back, pursed his lips, and took the initiative to hold her hand when someone came out.

Li Qiushuang gave her a faint smile, and then said: "Let's go to see the queen mother."

"Okay." Xu Huai'an nodded in response.

When he came to the Compassion Palace, Zhang Qingnian was paying respects to the Buddha. Seeing the two, Zhang Qingnian's eyes showed surprise, and then he regained his composure, and nodded at them.

Looking at Zhang Qingnian's gray temples, Li Qiushuang's eyes were filled with water.

"Silly boy, come back after a long time, why are you crying?" Zhang Qingnian said softly.

Li Qiushuang shook her head, forcing back the tears in her eyes, she smiled with her lips curled up, and said: "The empress is much haggard, she should take good care of her body."

"The queen mother is old, and she looks haggard." Zhang Qingnian smiled, then looked at Xu Huaian and sighed, "Son, the Ai family entrusted Shuang'er to you, you have to take good care of her."

Xu Huai'an heard this, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, Huai'an will definitely take good care of San Niang."

Zhang Qingnian nodded, and then said: "Sometimes, people are fascinated by ghosts and will always do some wrong things. This is the case with the former emperor, and the Ai family is also the same. It's just that now, they can only recite Buddhist scriptures in an attempt to cleanse themselves. My own sins are actually just for peace of mind."

Xu Huai'an didn't answer, Zhang Qingnian said to himself: "When I come back this time, I will stay in Luoyang for a year, how about I come back in the spring of next year?"

Li Qiushuang couldn't say no to it, but Xu Huai'an said: "I haven't come back for a long time after staying outside the Great Wall for two years. Sanniang, we will celebrate the New Year in Luoyang this year, how about it?"

It's just entered April, and it's still early before the Chinese New Year.

Li Qiushuang looked at Xu Huai'an, but seeing her smiling, her heart felt warm for a while,

"Okay, listen to you."

The two talked with Zhang Qingnian again, Zhang Qingnian wanted to pay respects to the Buddha, the two stopped disturbing, and said something to Li Chengxu, and the two left the palace.

They had never ridden a horse before, and the two of them were strolling on the streets of Luoyang City. Xu Huai'an suddenly caught a glimpse of beauty from the corner of his eyes, and looked over. A smile flashed across his brows.

"Look, San Niang, the peonies in Luoyang are in bloom. In a few days, it will be the Peony Festival."

Seeing this, Li Qiushuang raised her lips unconsciously.

"I don't know, but can I have the honor to invite you again for a cruise?"

Li Qiushuang looked at her with eyes as bright as stars.

"Your Highness is very kind, but Huai'an is disrespectful."
