On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Xiao Xiao became even more excited after hearing this: "That's great. Do you remember? The first time we met was in the forest, and you almost became a hero who saved the beauty from the pig's mouth."

Of course Li Yan still remembered her, but at that time she was dark and thin, and wore tattered shorts. If it weren't for her voice, people would mistake her for a boy.

Who would have thought that in just a few months, she would become fair, tender and pretty, and even save herself.

He wanted to struggle again: "It's so hot outside, aren't you unwilling to move?"

He now realized that his wife was not very hardworking and there were only a few days when she would send him to work in the morning.

Every time he heard his married colleagues talk in a disdainful tone about their wives worrying that they didn't have enough to eat in the morning, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

After all, his wife never worried that he would not have enough to eat.

But Xiao Xiao was shocked after hearing what he said: "Are they still three-year-old children? Why don't they care about their wives?"

She threw herself into his arms again, looking thankful: "Fortunately, my husband treats me very well. When I don't have to pay my respects to the lady, he lets me get some more beauty sleep."

She looked at him with a smile, her eyes scattered with countless stars, and he no longer remembered what he had said before. He just wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her to his heart's content.

Even if I realized that she was using beauty to seduce me, I couldn't bring up the topic anymore, otherwise it would seem that I lacked self-control.

However, he also understood in his heart that his wife didn't like to get up early, but that was not a big deal. Who can't have some little hobbies of their own?

Moreover, when he thought about how she had suffered a lot from her stepmother because of him, he could only feel heartache.

Especially after Xiao Xiao became pregnant, she felt even more at ease and could get married whenever she wanted.

But when the weather gets hot, she spends more time in her yard, except for occasionally going out for a walk in the morning and evening.

Therefore, Li Yan hoped that she could be a little lazy.

Unfortunately, Xiao Xiao smiled at him: "It's so hot outside. I practice archery every morning and evening. I will feel more comfortable after sweating."

Then he said firmly: "Besides, no one will refuse. If I don't go, who knows what people will think outside?"

She was telling the truth.

Regardless of whether she had received an imperial decree or not, she could receive any invitation to a banquet in the palace. No matter if she was an old lady in her seventies or eighties, or a woman who was about to give birth, she usually needed someone to help her walk, but now she could almost walk briskly.

Only female relatives who were truly ill would dare not enter the palace.

It’s not that he can’t get up from the illness, but he is afraid of passing the illness on to the distinguished guests and all the distinguished guests at the banquet.

If Xiao Xiao didn't go, others would definitely mistakenly think that she had either offended a noble person or had a serious illness.

But nowadays people believe that they cannot curse themselves, otherwise it will become effective.

After hearing this, Li Yan felt very uneasy and could only place his hopes on Xiao Zhou.

As far as he knew, Xiao Zhou attached great importance to the child and hoped that she could ask the Queen Mother to revoke her decision and take Xiao Xiao along as well.

Unfortunately, a maid replied from behind the curtain: "Master, Madam, and Second Madam are here."

"Come in." Xiao Xiao's voice fell, and the bamboo curtain that blocked the sun was lifted by the maid. Xiao Zhou walked in slowly, unable to hide her joy: "Sister-in-law, have you heard? We can all go to escape the summer heat."

Xiao Xiao also went out to greet her and asked her to sit down in the living room: "I just heard the news. You also got the news from your second brother, right?"

"No," Xiao Zhou proudly showed off to her, "I specially sent a letter to my mother and asked her to tell my eldest sister."

"Otherwise, my eldest sister will definitely not let us go."

After saying this, he had a smug expression on his face saying "thank me quickly".

Ever since Xiao Zhou became pregnant, she and Xiao Xiao have become closer.

At first, Xiao Zhou thought that Xiao Xiao's family background was a bit low. No, it should be said that she had no family background at all.

She felt that they had nothing in common, and she happened to be her sister-in-law, which led many of her close friends to tease her.

This made Xiao Zhou very resistant to Xiao Xiao and she was unwilling to deal with her.

I feel that Xiao Xiao's existence has lowered the reputation of the General's Mansion.

But later when they encountered danger on the farm, it was Xiao Xiao who brought people to rescue them.

Xiao Zhou asked herself, if it were her, or any of her former friends, they would not be able to do what Xiao Xiao did.

Later, he went to Jiang's house to recuperate.

She always felt that the Jiang family was afraid that if Xiao Xiao was the only one pregnant, she and her mother-in-law would be unhappy, so they could only do their best to take care of her health.

Moreover, after dealing with Xiao Xiao for a long time, I also know that she is a good-tempered person.

Sometimes, Xiao Zhou couldn't help but give her some advice, because she didn't want to see her being too nice to the servants.

Or if he sees that she doesn't go out for a walk, he will specially invite her to walk around the yard together.

Generally speaking, when a woman in the inner house becomes pregnant, she will not be sent food, nor will she eat at other people's homes.

But because of Xiao Xiao, she made an exception.

When Xiao Xiao heard her words, she smiled brightly: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I will hunt rabbits for you and we can eat roasted rabbit meat."

Xiao Zhou liked to see her smile, which was bright and charming. After hearing what she said, she couldn't help but frowned: "I told you that you can't eat rabbit meat when you are pregnant. Why didn't you remember it?"

It turns out that I can't do without myself. My sister-in-law is too careless.

Li Yan also came out and nodded to Xiao Zhou: "Your sister-in-law is careless, thank you for your advice."

He had heard inside that it was Xiao Zhou's idea, and he was so angry that he took a deep breath and resisted the urge to break up with them.

But after listening to what she said later, I felt that Mrs. Zhou was sometimes more reliable.

Furthermore, since Xiao Zhou had asked the Queen for help, it would be inappropriate for her to ask for leave and not go.

They were just going there to escape the summer heat, so not many people could go with them. People like Xiao Xiao and her friends could only bring two maids to serve them at most.

She could feel more at ease with Xiao Zhou reminding her.

After all, even if he went to escape the summer heat, he wouldn't have time and would only be busier.

After he came out, Xiao Zhou stood up and saluted. After hearing his words, she said politely, "Big brother, you are too polite. We are family, and we should take care of each other."

Li Yan nodded at her: "You guys talk, I'll go to the study."

Even though Xiao Zhou was his sister-in-law, he should avoid suspicion.

Of course he wanted Xiao Zhou to say goodbye and leave on her own.

But Xiao Zhou agreed: "Then my sister-in-law and I will discuss what to bring out."

This is indeed serious business.

When Li Yan went out alone, it was enough for him to bring a change of clothes. He didn't know what the female relatives should bring.

But Xiao Zhou and her friends had gone out to escape the summer heat with the late princess before, so they must have an idea of ​​what to prepare and really needed her advice.

Xiao Xiao thought: Have you forgotten that my family all fled here? How could I not know what to bring when going out? (End of this chapter)
