Chapter 95

Xie Nanjin left the next day, and the prince came to see him off at the emperor's order.The newly recruited soldiers and horses of the imperial court set off from various places to Hexi on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

Xie Zuiqiao sent his father thirty li away from the city, and it was already dark when he returned home.As usual, after the husband and wife go to bed, Xie Zuiqiao will rub Mingyu's whole body with his palms to help her relieve fatigue—his movements are gentle and his strength can be retracted freely, so Mingyu likes this kind of intimacy before going to bed .It's just that tonight, he seemed to be a little heavy-hearted, and he didn't talk much.

Ming Yu guessed that he was probably still melancholy over her father's departure, so she turned her head and took a peek, and saw him sitting cross-legged beside her, with his palms rubbing her back in an unhurried manner, but his eyes were fixed on the corner of the bed, as if Preoccupied.Wanting to make him happy, he got up quickly, grabbed his arm and said with a smile: "You are the one who waited on me, now I will serve you. You lie down, and I will massage you."

Xie Zuiqiao couldn't help laughing, and said: "You are healthy, sleepy during the day, sleep too much and complain of body aches, so I massaged you to relieve fatigue. My body is not sore, so you don't need to massage for me."

Ming Yu refused.Xie Zuiqiao saw her smiling sweetly at him, grabbing her arm and dangling back and forth, his heart softened, and he was pushed down by her, took off his clothes and threw it aside, and said with a smile: "Alright, then let I accept the grace of this beautiful woman - just be careful, don't slip up to your waist."

Ming Yu saw that his eyes were smiling, and that he had lost the preoccupied look. He was happy in his heart, and in response, he knelt down beside him, imitating him, and pushed his back with both palms.Feeling a little uncomfortable for a moment, he simply sat down on his buttocks with his legs apart and continued to move.

She didn't have much strength, so she sat on him like this, moving her hands on his bare back, not so much a massage, but rather a teasing of his senses.Xie Zuiqiao instantly felt hot under his body, and if he didn't stop it, he was afraid that it would be torture, so he turned around and grabbed her wrist.

"I just pressed your back, and I'll rub your legs again."

Ming Yu seemed to have more to say.

Xie Zuiqiao shook his head, pulled her to lie down beside him, and said with a smile, "If you keep rubbing, you won't be able to stand it anymore."

Ming Yu suddenly understood what he said, her face became hot, and she stretched out her fist to beat his chest.Xie Zuiqiao chuckled, pulled off the quilt and was wrapped around the two of them, patted her on the back lightly and said, "Go to sleep."

"You have something on your mind?"

After a while, Ming Yu, who was curled up in his arms, finally asked softly.

Xie Zuiqiao remained silent.Just when Mingyu thought he didn't want to say anything, he suddenly heard him say: "Ayu, I sent my father out of the city today, and when we were parting, he suddenly told me that he had nothing to do last night, and he had taken the baby in your womb away." I have already thought of a name. If it is a boy, the name is Tiao, and the character is Wangying; if it is a girl, I don’t want to think about anything else, as long as she is blessed in her life, she will be named Azhi.”

Ming Yu read it over and over, then smiled and said, "Father is really a caring person, and the name is very good. It's just the boy's name and character, what can you say?"

"Ayu, you don't know, the place where my grandfather died in battle was on the side of the Xing River in the west of the river. Father named our child this way, probably in memory of his grandfather."

Ming Yu said solemnly: "Grandfather is a hero, it is right to commemorate him."

"It's just Ayu," Xie Zuiqiao sighed suddenly, "after my father said this, he added another sentence, saying that in case we are not blessed to see our child, it is his grandfather's wish to leave a name. I When I watched him go away, I suddenly felt an ominous feeling in my heart, wishing I could hold him back and not let him go..."

Ming Yu was taken aback, and only then did she understand why he was depressed, and hastily reached out and hugged his waist tightly, "Father will be fine. I think that was just a casual remark. We will have many more children in the future. One by one, they are quarreling for him to ask Grandpa to hug him."

Xie Zuiqiao was silent for a moment, wrapped his arms around her waist, and finally said with a smile: "He has experienced many battles, and his martial arts skills are second to none in the Western Court. He also has iron guards by his side. This time even Uncle Gao went with him. I was thinking too much."

On the third day of junior high school, Xie Ruchun's family bid farewell and went south to take up their duties. The General's Mansion, which had been bustling for half a month, lost a few people and became deserted again.On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Liu Xiangyang left Beijing with the army, and Chunyuan went back to the General's Mansion. She wanted to serve Ming Yu who was pregnant with all her heart, but she woke up early and vomited after only half a month. pregnant.Ming Yu didn't let her go, and purposely set up a yard for her to live in, and the diet and so on were the same as her own.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Zuiqiao invited Pei Taizhi over the house.Tomorrow he will leave for the southwest, see you next time, I don't know when it will be, this will be the last meeting between the two brothers.

When Ming Yu heard about him from Xie Zuiqiao, she felt very sad.Going far to the southwest, this may be regarded as a kind of seeking benevolence for him.

His two brothers were having a drink in the warm pavilion by the pool in the back garden of the General's Mansion.Mingyu waited until the middle of Haishi, when Xie Jingzhu also went back to her room to sleep, but she didn't see Xie Zuiqiao coming back, so she was a little worried, so she tied up her cloak, supported by Zhou's mother and Dan Lan, and slowly walked into the warm pavilion with the lantern.From a distance, I saw bright lights in the warm pavilion, and a few young men waiting in the small building at the entrance of the corridor were roasting some sweet potatoes around the stove, and there was a tangy burnt aroma.Seeing Ming Yu, he hastily left the sweet potato and gathered around to pay respects.

"My lord and Mr. Pei are still drinking?" Ming Yu asked.

"Yeah, told us not to go in and disturb."

Xie Fu hurriedly said.

Ming Yu let out a cry, and when she arrived at the door of Nuan Pavilion, she listened attentively for a moment, but she didn't hear any voice inside, knocked on the door, but there was no response, so she pushed the door open, and suddenly saw that the two men were lying crookedly. When they got down, one was lying on the table, the other was leaning back on the chair, his face was flushed, and he was already sound asleep.

"Damn boy! You only care about your own greed, and you serve others like this!"

Zhou's mother grabbed Xie Fu's head and was about to knock it off. Xie Fu had a bitter face and repeatedly begged for mercy.Ming Yu hurriedly asked someone to make sober soup, and asked the servants to help the two people up separately, Xie Zuiqiao naturally sent them back to the room, Pei Taizhi... Look at this, I'm afraid I'm going to spend the night at the General's Mansion tonight, so I Let Zhou's mother lay the guest room.Zhou's mother responded, and then let Xie Fu go, turned around and hurried away.

Xie Zuiqiao looked really drunk this time, and was staggered away by two young servants.Ming Yu also wanted to go back to the room, but turned around and saw Pei Taizhi still leaning back on the chair, Xie Fu was moving him, and he was a little worried, and was about to tell him to send him to the guest room to take care of him, when he suddenly heard him whispering He muttered something vaguely, and after listening for a long time, he finally heard the word "thirst".Xie Fu heard it too, quickly poured a cup of tea, raised his head and drank it down.After feeding him, he guessed that he couldn't support him alone, so he hurriedly went out to call someone again.

After pouring a cup of herbal tea down his throat, Pei Taizhi finally came to his senses. He vaguely saw a beautiful woman in a red fur-trimmed cloak standing in front of him. Shocked, he suddenly opened his eyes and recognized Ming Yu.Although he had a splitting headache, he stood up reluctantly and called out "brother and sister".

This unfamiliar title made Ming Yu suddenly feel a little emotional.But fortunately, everything is in the past.Now, she has another man who regards her as a treasure, very happy.And he...

"Cousin, I heard that you are leaving tomorrow. Everything will go well in the future. You are drunk. I have just asked someone to lay the house, so I will rest here tonight."

Ming Yu nodded slightly at him and said with a smile.

"No need..., I can go."

Pei Taizhi closed his eyes hard, unable to hide the pained expression.

Thinking of his headache, Ming Yu felt pity in his heart, and couldn't help but said: "Although I don't know what your cause is, it's just that since you're already sick, it's better to drink less alcohol."

Pei Taizhi smiled wryly, "Siblings are right. I have been quitting for a long time. I just bid farewell to Zuiqiao tonight. I don't know what year it will be, so I indulged a bit. I will definitely not do it again in the future."

When he was speaking, his eyes fell on her lower abdomen, which was wrapped in a fiery red cloak, and the pregnant waist could not be seen at all. Unconsciously, his eyes returned to her face again.

He always knew she was beautiful.Maybe it's because of her pregnancy, now under the light, her skin looks plump, her smile is gentle, and there is a kind of tranquility and contentment between her brows that seems to make people feel peaceful even after looking at her.

He stared at her for a moment, met her gaze, lowered his head suddenly, and said, "It's time for me to leave."

"Okay, I'll see off my cousin."

Ming Yu turned her head and was about to call someone in when she suddenly heard him ask: "You...where have you seen me before?"

Pei Taizhi didn't know why he asked such a sentence that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.I know it's extremely presumptuous.But just now, maybe it was because of the drunkenness, or maybe it was because he knew that he had missed this opportunity, and that he would never have the chance to ask each other again in this life, so he blurted out the words.

Ming Yu was startled, and turned her head to look at Pei Taizhi.

Being watched by her clear and beautiful eyes like this, Pei Taizhi suddenly regretted it at this moment.

What does it matter whether you have seen it or not?From the day when he was still in his mother's womb, she drank the medicine to get rid of his desire, but finally came to this world, his life was doomed to be incomplete.

"Brother and sister, I drank too much, so I'm leaving."

He was a little embarrassed, holding onto the corner of the table, and staggered up to move.

"Cousin, I had a dream. I did see you in the dream. You are fine. You will be happy in this life in the future, just like me and Zuiqiao."

Ming Yu said slowly.

Xie Fu and another boy came in to help Pei Taizhi.He waved his hand, smiled at Mingyu, thanked him, and walked out of the Nuan Pavilion slowly.

Ming Yu looked at his receding back and sighed slightly.Suddenly thinking of Xie Zuiqiao, wondering if he is sober now, he helped Dan Lan's hand and went back to the room.
