Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 395 Early Summer Season
Whether Tuoba Yan's words were sincere or just to please Huan Xi, Huan Xi accepted her feelings.

He said seriously:

"Don't think wildly. With me here, I can't let you be wronged."

Huan Xi said with full confidence. After all, even Sima Xingnan no longer objected to this matter. Once Tuoba Yan's filial piety period was over, no one could stop Huan Xi from bringing her into the house.

When Tuoba Yan heard this, she was filled with joy:
"Since I am committed to Huan Lang, Huan Lang will be my only support from now on. I believe that Huan Lang will not let me down."

Huan Xi smiled and said:
"A Ying, Kou'er, and Han'er are all your closest relatives. We will also have children of our own in the future. Huan is not the only person you can rely on."

When Tuoba Yan heard Huan Xi mentioning Murong Yan, a flash of shame flashed through her heart. Although the two were not related by blood, in terms of status, the other party was her aunt. Now that mother and daughter serve the same husband, it is really embarrassing. Embarrassed.

However, when she heard Huan Xi talking about their children, the so-called shame disappeared instantly, and Tuoba Yan couldn't help but look forward to her life after giving birth to Huan Xi's children.

The knock on the door outside the house brought Tuoba Yan out of her reverie, Huan Xi said firmly:

"It must be Chi Qian who sent the clothes."

"I heard that A Yan had come to Chang'an and was here now, so she came to meet her. When she saw Shen Langjiang outside the house, she asked for some clothes, so she volunteered to bring them to her and asked Huan Lang for his forgiveness."

The reason why Murong Ying brought Huan Xi and Tuoba Yan together was because he hoped to use Tuoba Yan to gain his favor.

"No! You came just in time."

If Murong Ying's bedside breeze hadn't tickled Huan Xi's heart, he might not have made up his mind to bring Tuoba Yan into his room.

Anyway, there are still many empty palaces in Weiyang Palace, and there is plenty of room for them to move back and forth in winter and summer.

Murong Ying stood at the door with a smile, holding a mourning dress in her hand.

Huan Xi smiled knowingly. He was also a veteran of Hua Cong. How could he not know what Murong Ying was thinking when he came over?

As she spoke, Murong Ying still winked at Huan Xi playfully:
"I didn't come at the right time."

As time goes by, Huan Xi's novelty has not faded. He spends most of his nights having fun with Murong Ying and Tuoba Yan, and summer has quietly arrived.

Murong Ying followed Huan Xi into the house, and the door closed again, locking Chun Se in the house.

Tuoba Yan nodded and released her hand around Huan Xi's waist. Huan Xi walked towards the door. After opening the door, he found that the person holding the mourning clothes was not Shen Chiqian or the maid brought by Tuoba Yan, but Murong Ying.

Of course Huan Xi would not be angry about this. In fact, he was able to get Tuoba Yan, and Murong Ying was indispensable to help him.

After all, Huan Xi's concubine has its own beauty and beauty. They are not Xie Daoyun, and they have no status as a married couple. If they want to be favored and favored for a long time, they have to think of some novel ways.

This time, Huan Xi was really happy. After returning to Weiyang Palace, he went straight to Jiaofang Palace. He really had no energy today and could only accompany Xie Daoyun, who was pregnant, so as not to be distracted by the other side rooms.

Xie Daoyun has moved from Jiaofang Palace to Qingliang Palace. In fact, Qingliang Palace is no longer the only place to escape the summer heat in Weiyang Palace. Huanxi has dug ice chambers under many palaces just to allow his wives, concubines and children to live there. In midsummer, life is more comfortable.

The newly moved palace of Sima Xingnan also has an ice room to cool down, and Huan Xi will not let his mother suffer.

The first year of Shengping (357 AD), the sixth day of April.

"Xier, I heard that the situation on the front line is tense. When are you going to leave?" Sima Xingnan asked while eating watermelon.

Although Li Shizhen categorically claimed in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that watermelon was introduced to China during the Five Dynasties period, archeology in recent years has shown that this statement has been overturned.

Archaeologists have discovered watermelon seeds from several Western Han and Eastern Han tombs in Mawangdui, Changsha, Gaoyou, Jiangsu, and Yangzhou, which proves that as early as the Han Dynasty, nobles were able to enjoy watermelon.

Huan Xi was holding a watermelon and gnawing it without any sign of eating. He had always been so casual in front of his mother.

When Sima Xingnan asked about sending troops, Huan Xi put down the watermelon, wiped his mouth and said:

"The troops in Hexi and Hetao have responded to the call and have arrived in Chang'an one after another. They are now resting outside the city. Within three days, the troops will be dispatched."

Sima Xingnan frowned when he heard this:
"Leaving in such a hurry?"

Huan Xi said helplessly:
"Fu Jian and Murong Jun have mobilized Yu and Yan soldiers and are about to invade Hedong County in the near future. How can a child be attached to such a comfortable life?"

Sima Xingnan looked worried:

"Do you need me to write a letter for you so that I can go north to help you fight?"

Huan Xi shook his head and said:
"Father also has his own difficulties, mother doesn't have to force it.

"Besides, they are just defeated generals. I will gather 150,000 Han and Hu soldiers in Hetao for this battle, which is enough to deal with Fu Jian and Murong Jun's offensive. Mother does not need to worry about me."

That's what he said, but Huan Xi just didn't want Huan Wen to take away the command of this battle.

As for letting Huan Wen move to Luoyang to contain the enemy, this was done once last year. It is impossible to make this request again this year. After all, the elite of Chu State moved to Luoyang. Although they did not participate in the war, the expenses along the way were real.

What's more, Huan Xi had been assisted with a large amount of food before.

Huan Wen could help Huan Xi once, but he couldn't do it again and again.

Huan Xi knew that he couldn't rely on Huan Wen for help with everything. After all, people had to solve problems on their own.

There are state and county soldiers stationed in the city, and Huan Xi's 150,000 Han and Hu soldiers are enough for him to command, so there is no shortage of troops.

Seeing Huan Xi's refusal, Sima Xingnan no longer persisted. She didn't understand military matters, but his son had conquered everything in the past ten years. Now that he thought he could handle it, Sima Xingnan naturally believed in him. .

She had blind trust in Huan Xi. In Sima Xingnan's heart, her son was simply omnipotent.

"Since you have your own opinion, I won't say anything more. It's just that this time I send out troops, I still have to bring my concubine with me. There is a woman by my side who can also take care of you."

Although Shen Chiqian did things thoughtfully, there were some things he couldn't do. After all, Xiao Huan Gong was not as good as Long Yang.

Huan Xi nodded and said:
"This is natural. After the children leave, the mother will have to take care of everything at home."

There are thousands of people in Weiyang Palace, including maids and eunuchs. It is impossible for Xie Daoyun, who is pregnant, to worry about it. If Sima Xingnan is not here, Xie Daoyun may let Li Yuan, who has the best relationship with him, share the burden. Focus.

Now that Sima Xingnan is staying in Chang'an, she will of course be in charge of the affairs of Weiyang Palace.
