Reborn Pampered Queen

Jiang Wan was stunned and nodded. She watched Xiao Qian Xiu leave with her eyes.

By the time she returned to her room, Xiao Rui had already finished sending her guests off. She changed into a new set of clothes and leaned against the large kang next to the window, reading a book.

Meanwhile, Clove and Xia Yi were waiting in the West Room. They didn't wait on them.

Jiang Wan called Clove to go to the ear room to change into a fresh set of clothes.

After being lectured at noon, she didn't dare to change her clothes in front of Xiao Rui.

Jiang Wan shook her head and rubbed her shoulders as she walked out, murmuring, "This engagement is really physical work, I don't want to marry anymore in the future."

Xiao Rui looked up from her book, glanced at Jiang Wan, and mocked: "You don't want to be engaged to me anymore? Don't tell me you want to marry her again? "

Jiang Wan was at a loss for words.

"What are you looking at?" She quickly changed the subject.

"Nothing." Xiao Rui flipped through the pages in his hands and said, "I see that you usually read the books with great interest, so I picked up a book to take a look too."

Jiang Wan's face immediately turned red. What she usually read were books, and they were all stories about how talented people were in love with the world.

She rushed over to snatch the book from Xiao Rui's hands.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Rui Xuan raised the book in his hand high up, and smiled to Jiang Wan: "So the one Madam likes is this one? Do you want me to imitate your husband? "

Jiang Wan's face turned completely red when she heard this.

The stories in this book were written in twists and turns. Some of them were written in secret, while some of them were written in plain sight, not knowing which book Xiao Rui had taken.

The two of them fought over the brick bed for a while, and were covered in sweat.

Summer clothes were originally thin, and after a while, the thin fabric stuck onto Jiang Wan's exquisite body, faintly making one's imagination run wild.

Xiao Rui's gaze suddenly darkened, she casually threw away the book in her hands, and wrapped her arms around Jiang Wan's slender waist.

Jiang Wan cried out in alarm. She wanted to escape, but she was firmly controlled by him.

"Don't …" Jiang Wan pressed her hand against Xiao Rui's chest, lowered her head, and said with a red face, "I really can't do it today …"

Xiao Rui smiled faintly, her eyes filled with tender affection.

He pulled Jiang Wan into his embrace, gently caressing her back and said, "I know … "I won't mess around. After all, we still have to go through a long and thin flow of water …"

She didn't know why, but when she heard Xiao Rui say the words "thin water flows continuously", Jiang Wan's heart was inexplicably touched.

She leaned on Xiao Rui's chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, and felt very at ease.

"Who was the uncle I saw today?" Jiang Wan leaned on Xiao Rui's body just like that, and the two of them chatted nonchalantly, "Isn't Princess Jin the second young miss of the Duke of Zhenguo's estate?"

Regarding this, Jiang Wan firmly believed that she wouldn't forget incorrectly.

In his previous life, the three kings rebelled, and the Duke of Jiang Tianming led troops to suppress them.

There was an old official who protested, saying that the Duke of Zhenguo, Tong Wei, was the blood brother of Princess Jin. How could he possibly go all out to fight his brother-in-law?

Just as expected, within three months, the flames of war had already reached the city walls.

"There is someone else in my mufei." Xiao Rui's voice was light, but it made Jiang Wan's heart tremble.

Wasn't Xiao Rui the son of Princess Jin?

Since he was not the eldest son, how could he sit in the position of Crown Prince Jin?

Jiang Wan raised her head in astonishment, only to see a trace of sadness flashing through her eyes.

"My mother's concubine is the direct daughter of the loyal Gongmei Yantang family." Xiao Rui said softly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Faithful?

However, Jiang Wan was astonished.

In her previous life, she had never heard of the title of "Lord Zhong Yi", much less heard of any Mei Family member.

When Xiao Rui saw Jiang Wan's reaction, she could only smile.

It had already been eighteen years. The civil and military officials of the imperial court had never talked about the Mei family, so what would a young girl from Jiangnan, a small town like Jiang Wan, know?

"No matter male or female, everyone in the Mei Clan is brave and good at fighting," Xiao Rui patiently explained to Jiang Wan, "Ever since Emperor Taizong's generation, they have been ordered to guard Kansai and beat up the Tattoo."

"Eighteen years ago, when the grassland was in a state of extreme drought, the northwest side sent their troops south. My grandfather, Zhong Yi, sent the Mei Family soldiers to meet the enemy head-on. After fighting for three months, the enemy side finally retreated."

"Just as everyone was celebrating the victory of Master Zhong Yi, Grandfather suddenly disappeared with 80,000 members of the Mei Family."

"What?" Jiang Wan, who seemed to be listening to a story, raised her head in a daze, "She's fine, how did she disappear?"

"That's right. He's a good person, why would he disappear?" Xiao Rui smiled, "The Emperor has requested to thoroughly investigate this matter, but the spies sent out have either failed or not returned."

"After half a year of this incident, the Imperial court gradually started to have different voices. Some said that Master Zhongyi had surrendered to the Tarantula, some said that he had not won the battle with Ben … "There are even some who say that Sir Zhongyi was ambushed by the Tatar, and that his entire army was wiped out …"

"My mother's wife couldn't sit still any longer, she insisted on coming out to find my grandfather," Xiao Rui said as she took a deep breath, "At that time, she had just given birth to me for less than three months, so how could Father agree to that? But my mother's wife knelt down to beg my father, saying that she could not be dutiful since ancient times, and she couldn't watch a loyal family of House Zhongyi being splashed with dirty water. If she couldn't return in half a year, then she would have to report to the imperial government and report that she was dead."

"Father took me in his arms and watched mufei leave decisively." Xiao Rui's expression remained indifferent the entire time, but his eyes were still rimmed red. "In half a year, he invited for me to bestow the title of Crown Prince, and reported to the Imperial Court that my mother's depression ended."

Due to the huge incident that happened to the Mei Family, no one doubted the name, "Xiao Rui continued speaking with reddened eyes," A year later, the Imperial Court decreed that the Young Empress's sister, the Duke of Zhenguo's daughter, Tong Bi Yu, would be given the title of Princess Jin. From then on, everyone only knows that the Princess's surname is Tong.

As she finished speaking, Xiao Rui started crying while resting her head on Jiang Wan's shoulder.

Jiang Wan silently embraced him, as if she was hugging a lost child.

"Then... "Uncle is …" she asked softly.

"Uncle went up the mountain to study medicine and didn't follow the army." Xiao Rui buried his face in Jiang Wan's neck as he murmured. He then turned his face to Jiang Wan and smiled, "Cheng Zixiu is Uncle's junior and nephew …"

"No wonder you two have such a good relationship." Jiang Wan smiled, "So there's still such a layer of relationship within."

Just like this, the two of them leaned against each other as they chatted while lying on the brick bed next to the window. Red lanterns were lightly swaying in the wind high up in the corridor, and the occasional chirping of insects could be heard from the yard …
