As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

He got on the bed, held Priscilla Qiu in his arms again, and said, "It's a flower. Everything around it was withered, but there was a red flower blooming. It was very eye-catching, so I picked it back."

"Unexpectedly, I forgot about it when I got home, and it all withered."

Priscilla Qiu said: "I've seen that flower before."

Xie Changyu was surprised: "Have you seen it?"

That day, when he heard reports from people around him that the atmosphere in Nuan Pavilion was very bad, he immediately got up and went over, fearing that Qiu Huixian would suffer.

Later, Qiu Huixian was injured and fell into a coma.

He also completely forgot about the little red flowers in the wooden box.

It was when Qiu Huixian looked at Shanmei that he remembered that thing. He seemed to have seen it on the table in the house, so he went to get it.

How did he know that Priscilla Qiu had opened it and read it?

He just thought it was Qiu Huixian who received it there...

In Xie Changyu's mind, Qiu Huixian is gentle and virtuous, and she sticks to her duty.

She won't touch anything that isn't hers, and it's impossible to look at it.

Even if Xie Changyu is her husband, Qiu Huixian will treat him the same.

Just like Xie Changyu's study, she never set foot in it.

At first, Xie Changyu was satisfied that his wife could be so virtuous and steady, but later he became a little displeased with her being so polite and considerate, like she was treating her boss or a respected stranger.

However, he has a heavy responsibility and has to take care of his children.

After all, these emotions are just a few thoughts that flash through a moment.

Now that he heard Priscilla Qiu opening the things he brought back, he felt happy after a moment of surprise.

Naturally, Qiu Huixian didn't understand what he was thinking. It was dark inside the tent, so it was hard to distinguish his eyes, and she couldn't hear anything in his tone.

After she finished speaking, she realized that she had crossed the line by looking through his things at will, so she said softly: "I shouldn't look through my husband's things at will, and I won't do it next time."

"what?"

Xie Changyu was startled and looked down at Qiu Huixian: "What did you say?"

"What I mean is that the box... fell out of the husband's clothes and is his personal belongings..."

Before Qiu Huixian finished speaking, Xie Changyu had already frowned and his head seemed to be knotted.

His gaze was really unpredictable, staring at Priscilla Qiu, which made Priscilla Qiu unable to say anything else. Her heart was pounding, thinking secretly that he was angry?

Unexpectedly, Xie Changyu gently pinched her chin and raised Qiu Huixian's face.

Qiu Huixian held her breath: "Husband..."

"Do you still know that I am your husband?" Xie Changyu frowned and said, "As a couple, do we need to be so exposed? Why shouldn't we look through my personal belongings?"

Xie Changyu said solemnly: "Husband and wife are one, and they should not distinguish each other. What is yours and mine?"

Qiu Huixian: "..."

She stared at Xie Changyu's resolute face for a moment, her eyes slightly lowered, and she felt a little happy in her heart.

But these pleasures are not too much.

Because it’s not very smart for a man to feel happy after saying a few nice words.

People's hearts are changeable.

He said today that there is no distinction between them, but who knows if he will say "You are so outrageous, you have gone beyond your duty" in the future.

Priscilla Qiu told herself to stay calm and stay where she was.

Xie Changyu hugged Qiu Huixian a little more firmly, "You can touch all my things, except those involving court secrets... there are some things that my father will not touch, not to expose you."

Priscilla Qiu said "Hmm", not wanting to dwell on this topic, so she asked casually: "Why do you think of picking flowers?"

This is also something Qiu Huixian is a little curious about.

Xie Changyu really doesn't look like a romantic man. He gave flowers to women twice. How he thought about such things and violated the rules made people feel baffled.

"In the cold spring, it's very special to see flowers blooming in the wilderness, so I picked them back."

Priscilla Qiu asked again: "Husband, you often pick beautiful flowers when you see them?"

"I did it when I was little, but it's the first time since I became an adult."

Qiu Huixian became even more curious, "Why?"

This time Xie Changyu was silent for a while and then said: "When I was young, I followed my parents and saw my father picking flowers for my mother."

"My father once picked flowers and made them into garlands, which he hung around the neck of my mother's horse, making her smile."

At that time, Xie Changyu had already remembered things, but he was still young.

I always thought that the wreath was a gift from my father to my mother.

Later, when I was older, I heard more from other uncles in the army, and I found out that the wreath was originally made by my father to apologize to my mother.

My father was well-known in the military as a good-natured man who was kind to others and made everyone smile when he met him.

There were other female relatives in the army at that time, so they incurred some debts because of their father's good temper and witty words.

Later, an unexpected hero rescued the beauty, which led a woman to vow to repay her father, and she could work as a slave or a maid, as an ox or a horse.

Although the father refused on the spot, the woman who wanted to repay her father was really unwilling to give up.

The mother was furious, fought with the father, and wanted to separate from the father.

The father tried his best to finally get the mother to let go of her grudge.

The flower garland that impressed Xie Changyu the most was his father's trick to persuade his mother.

Although his mother forgave him at the time, she became lukewarm for a period of time afterwards, which made his father frown for a while and he spent a lot of time trying to make up for his smile.

At that time, most of the time was spent marching, fighting the enemy, and running away.

Without a stable living environment, flowers in the wild have become a rare romance.

When Xie Wei saw something good-looking while traveling, he picked some back.

Xie Changyu was led by Xie Wei on horseback and often helped his father pick.

For him, sending flowers to his wife is a normal thing.

It's just that there wasn't such a comfortable environment for him to do this before.

Xie Changyu said calmly: "Most women like flowers."

Qiu Huixian looked at Xie Changyu blankly.

He doesn't have any fancy tricks and is straightforward and unobtrusive, but it's hard not to fall in love with a husband like this.

Qiu Huixian pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "Husband, I find someone to serve you, what do you think?"

Xie Changyu said: "I have enough people around me, there is no shortage."

Qiu Huixian said slowly: "I mean, give your husband a wife."

Xie Changyu slowly turned his head: "Is there someone else in the room?"

"Yes." Qiu Huixian met Xie Changyu's gaze, "I want to take two concubines for my husband."

Xie Changyu: "..."

He frowned slightly and stared at Priscilla Qiu's face, "Do you have any objections to me? What was not done well? Then let's communicate and don't use this kind of thing to destroy the peace at home."

Although Qiu Huixian had guessed his possible reaction, this reaction was still not what she expected.

Xie Changyu looked at her with a look that was a little questioning, a little incredulous, and a little waiting for her to tell him something.

It seems like this is such an inexplicable thing.

Qiu Huixian has lived to this age and has seen many things.

There is no man who doesn’t like to be hugged from one side to the other. Even his honest father had been indulging in the gentleness of his beautiful concubine for a few days.

It was only after his mother reminded him that he reluctantly pulled away.

Later, after he was busy with officialdom, he was not as indulgent as before, but when he was at home, he always spent more time in his concubine's room.

High-ranking and powerful people, such as Princess Hanshan, could not control the concubine's affair outside, smashing her teeth and swallowing blood, so she took the outer chamber into the princess's mansion and became a generous head wife.

She has seen too much and has long accepted that men like the new and dislike the old, and have many wives and concubines.

We are also ready to select someone for Xie Changyu to come in.

But now her husband asked her if she had done something wrong and she wanted to find someone to disrupt the peace at home.

Do you still need to communicate with her to solve the problem?

Qiu Huixian couldn't help but open her eyes wide, the surprise in her eyes was too obvious.

Xie Changyu frowned: "If there is one more person, someone must be responsible for the extra person. It's not just adding people in at will. I don't want to make things too troublesome."

"Why, do you have to add someone to the room?"

My father said that having more children and grandchildren is a good thing.

But having too many women is definitely a problem.

If you can’t get even one, who would want to get a bunch of them?

Xie Changyu deeply agreed.

He saw many families with wives and concubines in groups. It was common for people to have fires in their backyards and to have chickens and dogs flying around.

Even if it is peaceful on the surface, there is still fierce fighting in the dark.

It would be even more difficult to accept the occurrence of brothers fighting each other.

From Xie Wei to the other younger brothers, the Duke of Liang never touched the subject of concubinage.

Why does Priscilla Qiu think he needs to take a concubine?

Could it be because I was in the capital earlier——

Xie Changyu's expression was slightly condensed, "I took concubines in Beijing earlier to take better care of Huan'er."

Qiu Huixian said hesitantly: "I just thought that my husband would hope to have more children and be more blessed."

"I already have children. It will be enough for you to have one or two more children for me in the future."

"If I become pregnant in the future...my husband is very energetic, and someone will need to serve him."

When Xie Changyu heard what she said, he thought of something and his expression suddenly became subtle: "So... you are impatient with my demands?"

Qiu Huixian couldn't answer, but this time her face turned red and she lowered her head.

Xie Changyu had nothing to say.

In fact, he is not a person who indulges in lust, and he is very principled.

He only touches his own women.

It must have been too much holding back after so many years.

In addition, Priscilla Qiu is really... dignified during the day and charming at night, there are too many contrasts.

Xie Changyu tasted the marrow after touching it and found it difficult to control himself.

After the two were speechless for a while, Xie Changyu said: "No need, don't mention this matter again."

Qiu Huixian said "hmm" in a very low voice.

Xie Changyu stopped talking after that, leaned back on the cushion and closed his eyes.

This means planning to take a rest.

Qiu Huixian was lying in front of him, her mood was ups and downs, and finally she curled her lips slightly and closed her eyes.

What Xie Changyu said about "one needs to be responsible for others" was something Qiu Huixian had never heard anyone say in today's world.

It sounds fresh, reliable, and trustworthy.

If his words match his actions, he truly is the best husband in the world.

*

Xie Changyu stayed at the house for two days. After Qiu Huixian's condition stabilized, he returned to the camp.

Xie Huan also returned to the academy a few days later.

Because of Qiu Huixian's previous persuasion, Xie Changyu handled the matter of expelling the child from the academy appropriately, and everything went smoothly.

After Xie Huanyue returned home after taking a break, she told Qiu Huixian that she had made two friends and was very happy in the academy.

Qiu Huixian was relieved.

After Xie Changyu rejected the matter of taking concubines, Qiu Huixian decisively put it behind her and did not think about it too much.

He rested quietly at his house every day to recuperate.

The injury on the hand was not serious. It was wrapped in white gauze, decoction was taken internally, and wound ointment was applied externally, but nothing could be done.

And this Xie Mansion actually doesn't require her to do anything specifically.

There was already a person in charge of the internal affairs of the house.

Although she took over after she arrived, the people underneath were safe, so she didn't have to put in much effort.

Between coming and going, Qiu Huixian was almost bored.

Qiu Lingyun, the second wife, and the third wife came to visit Qiu Huixian once.

The younger sister and the second wife were naturally very worried about Qiu Huixian's injury and were full of concern.

The third lady was also concerned about Qiu Huixian, but she asked about the two women who were sent there.

Qiu Huixian sent Xiliu away, and the third lady had already heard about it.

He said his hands and feet were unclean.

Of course, the third lady couldn't believe this. She wondered if Priscilla Qiu didn't like the delicate beauty of the slender willow tree, so she made excuses to drive her away?

She had doubts but didn't dare to say anything. She just hoped that in another day, Yuemei would be able to be the prince's roommate and her hard work would not be in vain.

But even though she was making insinuations, Priscilla Qiu didn't answer and looked indifferent.

The third lady couldn't bear it any longer, so she walked to Qiu Huixian with a smiling face and sat down, "Axian, have you shown Yuemei to the prince?"

After saying this, Qiu Lingyun and Mrs. Qiu Er's expressions both changed.

Qiu Lingyun had a fiery temper and stepped forward with an angry look: "Third aunt, what are you here for? Are you here to visit your sister or to cause trouble?"

"How can this be causing trouble?" The third lady said quickly: "This is a very common thing. Prepare early now so that you will not be caught off guard in the future."

"You said that if we don't prepare here and the prince sees someone outside, what will happen?"

The third lady turned to look at Priscilla Qiu again, and said seriously: "It's not that the third aunt is nosy, but the third aunt is doing it for your own good... You have to make plans very early."

"Introduce Yuemei to the Crown Prince and keep an eye on it. If the Crown Prince is not satisfied, we can prepare something else."

Qiu Lingyun was furious and was about to choke out a retort, but her wrist was gently held by Qiu Huixian.

Qiu Lingyun was afraid of hurting her sister, so she quickly stopped her momentum and swallowed all the words that came to her lips.

Qiu Huixian smiled softly and said: "Thank you, Third Aunt, for your concern. I know it well."

"Hey, you always say you have the answer, but actually -"

"Third Aunt." Qiu Huixian interrupted her, "You have such plans for me. It seems that you don't want to go back home. You wish you could stay here and give me guidance. Otherwise, how about I invite the prince to come and give you guidance in person? "

Her expression and tone were gentle, but there was something about her that made the third lady feel terrified.

and--

How dare she give advice to Xie Changyu?

One more look would make my legs weak with fear.

Seeing that she was timid, Mrs. Qiu Er said expressionlessly: "Stop talking. This is not the Qiu family, this is the Xie family. What if something bad comes out?"

"A-Xian always has an idea. She definitely has an idea when she says she has one."

The third lady managed to laugh twice, "I'm just caring about her... Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore." (End of Chapter)
