The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Princess Xinyang was immediately shocked into a cold sweat.

The feeling of being caught after doing something bad is really scary.

The old lady looked to be in her sixties or seventies, her hair was grey, and she was very old. Her clothes and clothes looked like Dongyi people, and they were still patched, so they should be from nearby villagers.

Xuan Pinghou kept looking at the old woman, and said calmly to Princess Xinyang: "We have entered the territory of the Dongyi people, so we must be careful."

Princess Xinyang responded in a low voice, and then asked: "What are you going to do?"

Xuan Ping Hou said: "Play by ear."

If it was a soldier who came, Xuan Pinghou would kill him mercilessly, but the other party was an ordinary villager.

The soldiers of the state of Zhao did not kill the people of the enemy state.

Xuan Pinghou blocked Princess Xinyang behind him, took her hand and walked towards the old woman.

"Old man." He said calmly, "We are soldiers passing by, and we are following the traces of a few Zhao people. Have you seen them?"

The language of the Dongyi people and the Zhao Kingdom are basically the same, but there is a difference in the accent. He speaks a fluent Dongyi accent, and Princess Xinyang behind him is stunned.

Princess Xinyang understands a little Yan Guo dialect and Liang Guo dialect, but it is in writing, and it is fine to ask her to translate the text, but if she is really asked to speak it, she will not be able to speak up to the standard.

Xiao Heng had a strong talent for languages ​​since he was a child, and Princess Xinyang thought it was due to her. Looking at it this way, it seems that Xiao Ji inherited it.

The old woman's calm and dull eyes didn't change much, she replied slowly in an old voice: "Oh, I didn't see it."

"Old man, do you live near here? Who else is there at home?" Xuan Pinghou continued to ask.

"No one, just me." The old woman's speech was so slow that it made people feel that she was struggling to speak and her reaction was slow.

But considering her age, this is not surprising.

Princess Xinyang sneaked out half of her head from behind Xuan Pinghou and looked at her.

Xuan Ping Hou Fu turned his head and saw the top of the jet-black hair protruding, the corners of his lips twitched amusedly.

"Old man." He looked at the old woman again,

"It's getting late, can we go to your house for a rest?"

"Okay." The old woman responded slowly, turned around and left with a cane.

Princess Xinyang looked at the hunched old woman who was walking away, and asked him, "Are we really going to her house?"

Xuan Pinghou looked around: "There is no other place to live here. If you go to her house, at least you won't freeze to death. By the way, let's also ask about Dongyi soldiers."

Princess Xinyang thought this was the reason.

Who would have expected them to come to Dongyi people's land by mistake? They were not familiar with the terrain, and Xiao Ji was seriously injured, it was better to find a place to recuperate first if he was really running around in the ice and snow.

Thinking of something, she asked again: "You said, did she see what happened just now?"

Xuan Pinghou said thoughtfully: "Not sure."

Princess Xinyang sighed: "Forget it, so what if you see it? Is it possible that you can really attack an old man who has no strength? Let's follow and keep an eye on her to prevent her from telling the truth."

The two followed the old man to a simple hut.

The old lady lived in a remote place, and there was a sparse village a hundred steps further to the east.

Seeing Princess Xinyang's puzzled face, Xiao Ji explained in a low voice: "In Dongyi, widows and children who have no children or husbands will be moved out of the village. They are regarded as the embodiment of ominousness."

Princess Xinyang suddenly realized: "So that's the case. It seems that she didn't lie to us, she is really the only one in her family."

The old man is old and has trouble moving. He does not have much security for basic necessities of life, and the house is not clean.

She pointed to a dusty hut, and said to the two of them, "You guys will stay here tonight, and you will eat in the kitchen."

After that, she went back to her room and ignored the two strangers.

Xiao Ji's injuries were serious, and he couldn't maintain his indifference in front of others after entering the house, his face turned pale and he sat on the dusty wooden board.

Just now, she encountered a series of accidents as soon as she came out of the cave, and it was only now that she had the opportunity to look at him seriously.

I don't know if I don't look at it, but after looking at it, I realize that his situation is too bad.

No wonder she was not allowed to light a fire in the cave, if she had known that his complexion had changed like this, she would have left him to rest where he was and go find the way by herself.

But after thinking about it, if he really went by himself, he would have been caught by Dongyi soldiers at the entrance of the cave.

How could he... Always be so considerate for her?

Princess Xinyang's heart was moved, and she forgot about being mad at his mouth in the cave, she raised her hand subconsciously, and touched his forehead: "It's so hot!"

Xiao Ji took her hand down and held it tightly in his palm without saying a word.

The house was quiet.

Princess Xinyang felt the warmth from his palm, he held her hand tightly, and unconsciously rubbed her thumb lightly on the back of her hand.

It's like a silent comfort.

...

Princess Xinyang tidied up the house, and took out the cotton wool and mattress from the cabinet. They were clean, but slightly damp.

Princess Xinyang went to ask the old lady to borrow a brazier, and she took a fire book and squatted on the ground to start a fire.

She didn't give birth for a long time, and turned herself into a cat with a big face.

Xiao Ji sat on the stool with a pale complexion, and looked at her with a half-smile: "Qin Fengwan, is this the first time you do this?"

"So what?" Princess Xinyang muttered, "I think Jiaojiao gets angry very quickly, that's how she is born."

Xiao Ji laughed, it hurt so much, the wound was about to burst from laughter.

He stabilized his mood, he stopped smiling, but the smiles in his eyes could almost overflow.

He said, "I'll come."

"Sit down!" Princess Xinyang ordered coldly.

Xiao Ji Fugang sat back down in a sluggish manner.

Princess Xinyang continued to light the fire, and at the cost of burning a handful of her own bangs, she finally started the fire.

She began to bake the damp mattress.

Then the mattress was burned...

The old woman didn't want to talk to the two of them at first, but she was probably worried that if this went on like this, the woman would burn down her house.

She came over with a dark face and helped the two bake the quilt, and brought a new mattress, and only dared to hand it to Princess Xinyang after it was baked.

Princess Xinyang made the bed, helped Xiao Ji take off his armor, and then helped him lie down on the warm mattress.

"I'm going to get something to eat." She pulled the quilt over Xiao Ji, turned around and went to the kitchen.

The living conditions of the elderly are very difficult, and there is nothing in the kitchen except pickles and pancakes.

But the pancakes were so hard that they couldn't be chewed at all.

Princess Xinyang looked at the water in the water tank and had an idea in her heart.

The old woman was twisting hemp rope in her own house. She was too old to farm and hunt, so she made a living by doing simple handicrafts.

She thought that it was time for the two of them to eat, and one of them looked at the tender meat and was very picky, so he probably wouldn't eat those cold things directly.

She was one step too late, and as expected, when she was going to heat the meal for the two, the stove had already caught fire.

Little Duke Bao and Princess Xinyang with a face full of black and gray stood in the yard in embarrassment.

The old woman looked at her speechlessly.

Princess Xinyang pretended to be calm and said in a low voice: "I cook at home, it's because your stove doesn't work well!"

Old woman: "..."

Princess Xinyang pulled out the gold bracelet on her wrist and paid it to the old woman.

The old woman went to the cellar to get a piece of bacon and stewed it with steamed buns for the two of them.

Princess Xinyang looked at the broth on the table, and said bitterly to the old woman, "So you hid something delicious."

The old woman went out with a blank face.

Xiao Ji couldn't help laughing, the wound hurt so much that he twitched.

The weather in the east this year is very strange. The first month is almost over, and there is another heavy snowfall.

Feather-like snowflakes are falling one after another. Unlike the snow scene in the capital, the snow in the mountains gives people a feeling of tranquility and far-reaching.

Princess Xinyang helped the old woman bring in the clothes and straw ropes that were drying out.

"Old man, where is your family?" she asked.

She just asked casually, thinking that the old lady would not answer, but after the other party was silent for a moment, the old voice said lightly: "Dead, they were arrested to fight, all died."

Princess Xinyang looked at the lonely and hunched back of the old woman, and said nothing more.

"She saw it."

At night, when the two were lying on the bed, Princess Xinyang said to Xiao Ji.

"Huh?" Xiao Ji didn't understand why this topic came up suddenly.

Princess Xinyang looked at the dark beams and said in a daze: "She saw us killing Dongyi soldiers, but she didn't report us because she also hated Dongyi soldiers. Her family members were captured and exiled into the army. Died."

The cruelty of war is not something ordinary people can bear.

Xiao Ji doesn't like fighting either, but his duty is that if he doesn't fight, what will be destroyed is the home behind him.

The same is true for Dongyi soldiers.

Everyone is their master.

However, he has always opposed such things as arresting strong men and exiling them into the army. The king of Dongyi should be killed, and the kingship of Dongyi should be destroyed.

He held her hand, giving her silent comfort and strength in the dark.

Princess Xinyang's emotions gradually calmed down.

"Xiao Ji, are you asleep?"

she asked softly.

Her answer was an even breath.

That's right, with such a serious injury and a high fever, he must have been sleepy long ago.

Princess Xinyang couldn't fall asleep, she supported her body with her arms, and looked at his sleeping face without blinking through the snowy light coming in through the gap in the window.

Twenty years have passed like a day, and it is really unabated.

"Xiao Ji."

She called out again.

Xiao Ji fell into a deep sleep.

She looked at him fixedly, and a bold idea suddenly flashed in her mind.

She blushed and tied her head down.

Is she bewitched?

How can she do this?

But--

She raised her head again, peeping at him shyly, her heart beating wildly.

Anyway...he also fell asleep and didn't know.

The well-educated, dignified and dignified Princess Xinyang finally plucked up the courage, and slowly approached him with a blushing face, her watery eyes fell on his diamond-shaped thin lips.

She took a deep breath and did the most daring thing in her life. She leaned over and touched his cheek lightly with her lips.

In the darkness, there was a low sneer: "Qin Fengwan, you have been courageous for a long time, and this is it?"

Princess Xinyang's hairs exploded!
