The prince is very fierce

In early winter in October, when the last petal of the golden chrysanthemum falls, thousands of miles of rivers become increasingly desolate, reminding everyone that another winter is coming.

The high-rise boat is still docked along the Xiangjiang River. The girls on the boat have become accustomed to the days of waiting. After all, major events in the world cannot come in a hurry. The short wait now is for the long-term future.

Without the company of two pairs of masters and apprentices, Zhu Manzhi calmed down and went fishing on the river to relieve his boring days. But she doesn't know what's wrong. She can catch all kinds of things, but she can't catch any fish. Even the two good dogs no longer accompanied her, because the tortoise could not chew, and only the big white goose was still swimming around under her feet, taunting her mercilessly.

"well……"

Zhu Manzhi sighed softly and kicked her skirt boredly.

Nothing was going on on the boat. Song Yufu was also sitting in front with a fishing rod. She didn’t know how to do it at all. She was just fishing with Manzhi. Seeing Zhu Manzhi sigh, she asked:

"What's wrong Manzhi?"

"Can't catch any fish."

"You can also catch a tortoise, it's quite delicious."

"..."

Zhu Manzhi pouted and became even more unmotivated. She really wanted to find someone to chat with her. Unfortunately, Yufu couldn't understand her bragging. The other sisters didn't know martial arts and were not interested in Jianghu affairs, so she could only Waiting for Xiao Ning to come back, although Xiao Ning is a boring gourd, at least he will listen to her nonsense.

On the second floor of the building, Xiao Qi had been sitting behind the desk for a long time. Her waist was a little sore, so she got up and walked around the room.

Lu Hongluan was sitting on the couch embroidering. He raised his eyes and asked softly:

"Qiqi, is there any news from Ling'er? When will you be back?"

Xiao Qi picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's almost time. Anguo Gong Zhou Qin's lair has been slaughtered, and his position has been messed up. He is forcibly sending troops to attack Liuzhou, which has made the South Vietnamese ministers dissatisfied. Wait for the opportunity. When the troops arrived, the Xiliang army entered the pass and marched straight into Yongzhou City, and the matter was over. "

Lu Hongluan didn't quite understand the overall situation of the world, so he thought for a moment: "Can we pacify South Vietnam by just taking down Yongzhou City?"

Xiao Qi shook her head: "South Vietnam is too loose. From Fuzhou to Jiaozhi County, there are nearly a hundred forces, large and small. They just respect the Chen family as the king and obey the Chen family's orders. Even if the Chen family is destroyed, we can't get there. All the forces have to be wiped out and they can reach the city of Yongzhou, and let the Chen family surrender and agree to remain on the throne and continue to govern southern Xinjiang on behalf of the Central Plains court."

Lu Hongluan frowned: "Then what if you don't agree?"

"As long as you don't agree to change someone named Chen to inherit the throne, it won't be too late to go back and clean up after the four eastern kings and Northern Qi are destroyed. It's not a big place anyway."

Lu Hongluan nodded and did not ask further questions.

Xiao Qi actually wanted Xu Buling. After all, she and Xiang'er were twins, and their bodies were not much different. After eating the marrow and getting to know its taste, she couldn't bear the days of being alone in the empty boudoir. She wished she could be pinned to the table by Xu Buling right now. Waste. However, Xiao Qi would definitely not say these words, and glanced at Lu Hongluan:

"Hong Luan, do you want to make a promise?"

Lu Hongluan was not shy at all. He nodded and looked towards the back of the ship building:

"I definitely want to think about it, but I'm used to it. There's nothing I can't bear. Even Queen Cui's side, alas, looks pitiful."

Xiao Qi glanced at the terrace behind her from the window, sighed quietly, and didn't know what to say. ——

The waves lapped against the edge of the boat, and the boat heaved slightly.

The cool river breeze swept across the terrace, and the two pots of flowers placed next to the lounge chair were still withered, and the beautiful figure watching the clouds roll and relax on the lounge chair was gone.

"Ahem"

A slight cough came from the back room.

Xiao Xiang'er, who was wearing a bright red dress with a worried look on her face, stood beside the bed and watched the doctor taking her pulse seriously.

Cui Xiaowan had a towel on her forehead and two quilts covering her body. Her face was a little pale, but her eyebrows were curved and her expression was not uncomfortable. Except for the occasional cough, she looked the same as usual.

I saw Xiao Xiang'er biting her lower lip, her eyes full of worry. Cui Xiaowan took off the towel on her head and said crisply:

"Mother, I'm fine, don't worry. I just fell asleep outside enjoying the cool air and got a bit cold. Mother almost covered me to death."

How could Xiao Xiang'er not be in a hurry? She was busy working in the house a few days ago and fell asleep on the table without paying attention. When she woke up in the middle of the night, she found that Xiaowan had also fallen asleep on the terrace. It took her a long time to wake her up, which frightened her. Since then, Xiaowan has been coughing frequently.

The doctor woman came to check carefully and said that she had suffered from cold and had taken medicine, but it had been several days and she still wasn't feeling better. When Cui Xiaowan was in the palace, she was so delicate that she was worried about falling whenever she walked. Now that she is really sick, if the root cause of the disease is found, she, the 'guardian mother-in-law', will regret it for the rest of her life.

Xiao Xiang'er sat down by the bed, her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, she put the towel on Cui Xiaowan's forehead again, and lectured like an elder:

"You lie down honestly, even though you're coughing, you still say it's okay. It's so cold at night, and I forgot to call you, and you don't even know how to come in? How old a girl you are."

Cui Xiaowan huddled in the quilt and said with a smile:

"I'm asleep, I don't feel cold."

"well……"

Xiao Xiang'er shook her head and didn't know what to say about her nominal daughter-in-law.

The doctor took her pulse for a moment, but the result was the same as last time, and she said with a smile:

"Madam, Miss Cui's pulse is stable, but her body is a little weak. If she can replenish her body and feel more relaxed, she will be fine."

Xiao Xiang'er also hoped so. After letting the medical girl go down, she raised her hand to bring the medicine bowl, picked up the spoon, blew on it, and brought it to Cui Xiaowan's mouth:

"Drink the medicine quickly."

Cui Xiaowan sat on the bedside, took a sip, then frowned and thought:

"It's so bitter, why don't I accompany my mother to drink, get drunk and sweat, maybe I'll feel better."

Xiao Xiang'er looked helpless, and put the spoon to her thin lips:

"Take the medicine first, and then I'll accompany you to drink after you finish."

Cui Xiaowan blinked, and perhaps felt that she couldn't avoid it, so she brought the medicine bowl over, "ton ton ton" and swallowed it in one gulp, then stuck out her tongue and tears came out.

Xiao Xiang'er quickly picked up the cane sugar and stuffed it into Cui Xiaowan's mouth:

"It's bitter, isn't it? I told you to sit outside and enjoy the breeze, but I won't allow you to do that anymore. If Xu Buling comes back and sees you like this, he'll say I didn't take good care of you."

"No, mother, he loves you."

Cui Xiaowan paused for a moment, looked at the dark clouds outside the window, and hesitated:

"By the way, when will he come back?"

"I heard from my sister that he will come back in a few days after finishing the South Vietnam business. Why, do you miss Xu Buling?"

"Isn't mother thinking about him too?"

Cui Xiaowan huddled into the quilt, holding Xiao Xiang'er's hand, and smiled sweetly.

Xiao Xiang'er had nothing to do on the boat, so she sat by the bed and began to tell the stories Xu Buling had told her before. Although Cui Xiaowan had heard them all, it was better than sitting together with nothing to say.

But Cui Xiaowan didn't seem to be very interested in the story she had heard. After listening for a while, she closed her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep, and her holding hands loosened unconsciously...
