Chapter 667 Reunion(1/2)
"Hao, Marquis!"
In the palace of Princess Huguo, the doorman who was woken up by a knock on the door was instantly excited and burst into tears when he saw Jing Heng's face. He was so excited that he opened the door completely to welcome the master into the palace.
A trace of warmth flashed through Jing Heng's eyes and he nodded slightly at the doorman: "It's late at night, don't disturb others."
"Yes, yes, I obey the order!" The old man in the gatekeeper who was about to spread the word to the inner house stopped and watched the master walk away with tears.
At this moment, everyone in the mansion had dreams, and even the crickets were quiet, and the lanterns under the eaves emitted a hazy halo under the cold moonlight.
Jing Heng walked as usual. When he passed through the middle gate and entered the inner house, his steps became bigger and bigger, and his steps became faster and faster. His figure quickly disappeared under the corridor, leaving only the branches swaying in the wind.
The door of Anyiyuan was never locked, and it was just a faint cover at night. It made a creaking sound when pushed open, alarming the bright moon and Jingqi who were staying in the outdoor room tonight.
Seeing the tall figure appearing in the yard, the two of them were shocked and thought it was a thief who had sneaked in. Just as they were about to shout for help, they suddenly heard a familiar voice: "It's me."
"Marquis!" Mingyue was shocked and screamed involuntarily. When she realized that it was indeed his own marquis, the two of them came forward excitedly and saluted: "Marquis, you..."
Before they could finish speaking, Jing Heng raised his hand to stop him: "Don't alarm the wife."
The two of them quickly silenced, still excited.
Jing Heng found a chair and sat down, whispered: "Go and cook two pots of hot water."
I rushed back from Haicheng day and night, but I didn't take care of it carefully along the way. I should be disliked when I entered the room like this.
The bright moon was shocked by the magpie and rushed to the kitchen to boil water.
Jing Heng leaned on the back of the chair, rubbed his forehead tiredly, and looked at the door gently, but finally couldn't help it, so he got up and walked over.
When he was about to open the door, he paused for a moment, took off his clothes in a few seconds, and confirmed that there was no obvious sour smell and then pushed the door and flicked into the room.
Since Jing Heng left, Qin Xiaoxiao has taken the twins to sleep. Sometimes the two brothers will get up at night to pee, and a night pearl is placed on the table next to the bed, which can not only illuminate but also not prick them, but can't sleep well.
There were ice cubes in the corner, and tents were hung on the bed to prevent mosquito bites. The three of them were sleeping with their backs to the outside of the bed, and they didn't know that the person they had been thinking about was back.
Jing Heng quietly came to the bedside, looking at the quiet sleeping faces of the mother and the three of them, he felt a sense of inreality, which made him unable to help but stretch out his hand and touch his wife's cheek.
After wandering on the sea for more than a year, he imagined such scenes countless times and dreamed of them countless times. Every time he woke up with a smile, he was left with endless emptiness when facing the low cabin.
Qin Xiaoxiao's sleep is far better than before giving birth. She will wake up if there is any movement from the two cubs sleeping beside her.
She felt something crawling on her face in a daze. She thought it was a mosquito, so she raised her hand and waved it over, muttering, "Stinky mosquito, run in again."
As a result, the slap was firm, and a crisp "pop" sound was heard, and the real pain came from her palm, which made her so shocked that she suddenly opened her eyes, wondering if she had twitched her thorns.
But the next moment, she clearly felt a person sitting behind her back, and her hair stood up and subconsciously used half of her body to protect the two children sleeping beside her.
"Ha~" Jing Heng couldn't help laughing, and suddenly he had a bad intention to scare her, so he deliberately lowered his voice.
This chuckle almost scared Qin Xiaoxiao's soul away. She didn't have time to think about who was so bold to break into the Princess' Mansion at night. She thought about it repeatedly while pretending to sleep and rising up to resist, and temporarily chose the former.
The two children were by her side, and she was worried that if she would anger the other party, he would attack the child.
Jing Heng saw her plan, and the smile in his eyes became stronger. He stretched out his hand and gently touched her exposed arms, and pinched them twice with some meaning.
Is the chromatic embryo actually a sex trap?
Now Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't pretend to be asleep. He quietly touched the little guy's pillow with his right hand, where there was a small wooden sword they had played with before going to bed.
Although Xiaomu Jian cannot kill people, the tip of the sword can definitely blind the eyes.
When she said that, when the erotic hand slowly moved upwards and was about to climb to Qin Xiaoxiao's neck, she suddenly pulled out the small wooden sword, turned over and stabbed it quickly towards the colored embryo's eyes.
If this is solid, even if it is not pierced, it will cause considerable damage to the face. While the other party is in unbearable pain, she still has the opportunity to call for help loudly, but in short, she will never let the villain escape.
Unexpectedly, the "gangster" reacted faster and easily captured her wrist. The tip of the sword stopped three inches from his pupils, and could no longer move.
"Xiaoxiao, are you going to murder your husband?" Jing Heng put his other hand around his wife's waist and leaned over to whisper in her ear. The next moment, he clearly felt the body under his palm stiffen.
Qin Xiaoxiao raised her head in disbelief, and with the light of Ye Mingzhu's unbright halo, she saw the familiar outline of the man clearly, and instantly she burst into tears.
"Don't cry..." Jing Heng sighed softly and kissed her eyes gently.
Bang-
A crisp sound rang in the quiet room, followed by the woman's crying scolding: "You bastard! Do you want to scare me to death?"
Without exerting force, Jing Heng knew that he was inappropriate, so he let go of her right wrist and hugged her whole person in his arms and said in a whisper: "Xiaoxiao, I was wrong, I shouldn't have scared you as soon as I came back."
Qin Xiaoxiao was angry and aggrieved. He clenched his fists and pounded his back several times: "There has been no news for more than a year, and it is scary every day. He ran back in the middle of the night to scare people. How could there be someone like you hate!"
Jing Heng's chest thrust in pain, letting her fist fall on her back, and hugging her tighter and harder: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"Bastard, you're just a bastard..." Qin Xiaoxiao was tired of beating and scolding her. She hugged the man unknowingly, sobbing and crying in his arms, venting her worries and longing for more than a year.
The twins in the bed slept like pigs. After a long time of fuss, my parents couldn't wake them up. Momo even smacked his lips, as if he had tasted the delicious food in his sleep.
The couple hugged them quietly for a long time until Qin Xiaoxiao was so sad that his eyes were so painful that he wiped his red eyes like a rabbit hard. His emotions gradually returned to normal. He stared at the man in front of him motionlessly, as if he was about to eat the person.
"What's wrong?" Jing Heng felt guilty when she was staring at her. He raised his hand to touch her face, but he never wanted to be photographed open. Then his eyes turned black and his mouth was blocked by his soft lips.
After a while, the two separated. Looking at each other's swollen lips, they couldn't help but smile at each other, hugging each other again, feeling each other's heartbeat.
At this time, the door was knocked and Mingyue's voice came: "Mr. Marquis, the hot water is ready."
Qin Xiaoxiao tightened her arms and didn't want to let go, and Jing Heng didn't want to leave, but she even disliked the smell on her body. She lowered her head and pecked her on her lips: "I'll be back in a while."
Qin Xiaoxiao knew that he must have been very tired when he rushed back overnight, so he let him go and put on his shoes to get him clean clothes.
Jing Heng did not stop her. He watched her rummaging around in the closet, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up. The emptiness that had accumulated in her heart over the past year disappeared completely without a trace.
Qin Xiaoxiao watched him open the door and walked out. She sat alone by the bed for a while, laughing out loud. Realizing that she was so stupid, she climbed onto the bed and poked the two sleeping little cubs: "Wake up, dad is back!"
The little baby was ignorant and no one paid attention to her.
Qin Xiaoxiao did not give up and began to scratch Momo's soles. As a result, Momo just kicked his feet twice, turned over and hugged his brother tightly and slept even more soundly.
She refused to give up and gently tucked Nao Nao's nostrils with the ends of her hair. Nao Nao sneezes and hugged her brother tightly at the same time, without even opening her eyes.
"What two little pigs!" Qin Xiaoxiao pinched their little faces, gave up helplessly, lay down next to the two brothers, leaving enough space for Jing Heng.
When Jing Heng returned to the room, he saw such a warm picture, and his eyes instantly became gentle. He picked up a handkerchief and wiped the water from his hair in a few seconds, took off his shoes and leaned against his wife's back, stretched out his long arms to try to hold the three of them in his arms.
Qin Xiaoxiao was completely sleepy and turned over to face him: "Are you sleepy?"
Jing Heng had just taken a hot bath and had lost his previous fatigue and sleepiness, so he shook his head: "If you are not sleepy, let's talk."
Qin Xiaoxiao had a lot to say to him, but if she really wanted to say it, she would probably not finish it for three days and three nights, so she asked what she wanted to know most: "Have you ever been in trouble in the past year? Have you ever been injured?"
Just now, Jing Heng was naked on her upper body. She looked carefully and didn't see any scars, but she was still worried about asking clearly.
"No, the journey is quite smooth. Even if you encounter danger, there are others who are ahead." Jing Heng didn't want to worry her and replied lightly.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't believe it, but the person had returned safely. He didn't want to say that she was forced to ask, so he asked others: "When will I dock? How many days have I been running around the road?"
Jing Heng held her hand and kneaded her palm back and forth: "Ten days ago, I stayed there for four or five days and arranged for two deputy envoys to finish it, so I came back with the important account book first."
It was fine when he was floating on the sea, but no matter how much he missed him, he could not fly back. As soon as the boat landed, he realized what it was like to return home. He didn't want to stay at the port for a moment. After explaining what he should do to the two deputy envoys, he couldn't wait to return.
Qin Xiaoxiao said with a heartache: "It took you four or five days to go so far. I'm afraid you didn't even have a good meal along the way. I see you have lost weight and it's so bad to hold you."
Jing Heng chuckled: "I was not hungry if I had dry food on the road, but I had no appetite on the boat, so I might have lost a little bit of weight."
Qin Xiaoxiao touched and pinched his abdomen and muttered: "It's not like 'maybe I've lost weight'. I'm obviously thinner and I can touch the ribs."
After saying that, she found out about his diet and daily life on the boat.
"There are cooks on the boat, and the cooking skills are pretty good. They just lack vegetables and can only eat dried vegetables. Every time the boat docks, the first thing is to exchange fresh vegetables with the local people and store fresh water. The most scarce thing on the boat is these two things..." Jing Heng is not a storyteller. These things become dry through his mouth, making people unable to imagine how hard life on the boat is.
Qin Xiaoxiao knew that he had grown up with wealth and wealth since childhood. Everything on the boat might not be so unbearable to others, but it was too difficult for him.
She couldn't imagine how much perseverance she needed to survive the wandering life over the past year. Now she never complained about suffering when she came to her.
Jing Heng saw his wife's thoughts and couldn't help but take her into her arms: "These sufferings are nothing, the most difficult thing is when the night is late."
Qin Xiaoxiao blinked hard, and his voice became a little hoarse: "You won't need to go to sea in the future, right?"
Jing Heng was not sure and hesitated: "It shouldn't be."
Qin Xiaoxiao's heart tightened and asked a question buried in his heart: "Brother Li, do you think the emperor has any other thoughts to you?"
Jing Heng knew what she meant and said without hesitation: "No, the emperor's uncle is the king of a country. If he has a grudge against me, there is no need to pretend to be kind to me."
Qin Xiaoxiao asked, "What if this is the case because of the relationship between grandmother and mother?"
Jing Heng shook his head: "No, you don't know the emperor's uncle. If he wants to do anything to me, he will never care about his grandmother and mother. Besides, the queen and the little prince... Back then, the emperor's uncle directly asked me and the three tribes of the Zhang family to behead him, and his grandmother and mother could not blame him for hating him."
Qin Xiaoxiao did not want to provoke his relationship with the emperor's uncle and nephew, but wanted to ask clearly what he thought. Seeing that he was so confident, the worries buried in his heart faded a lot: "Hope as you said."
Jing Heng kissed her forehead and whispered: "Although I don't know why my uncle must lead the caravan to sea, I believe that my uncle's original intention was not to let me die."
Qin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and joked: "You can't take this opportunity to promote you."
Jing Heng thought: "It's not impossible."
Qin Xiaoxiao: "..."
She had thought about this before, but if the second-class marquis goes up, it is the first-class marquis. In fact, there is not much difference between the two. It is really not necessary to fight for a false title.
"I will come to the palace to meet the emperor's uncle tomorrow. Will it be like you and I guess? I will know soon." Jing Heng didn't want her to worry about this matter, so he picked up what he saw and heard along the way and told her what he saw and heard along the way.
Qin Xiaoxiao's attention was indeed attracted. He chased after something interesting and asked the questions. Jing Heng couldn't resist it. He joked that he would take her to experience it next time he had the opportunity to go out to sea.
This proposal was just a casual statement. It was very hard at sea. How could he bear to take her to suffer this?
