Chapter 105 From now on, she is the Princess of Northern Yan

It was an hour later that Cui Si came out of the tent.

"A'si."

Hearing a shout, Cui Si turned her head and saw Cui Jing waiting for her not far away. She lowered her eyelids and walked forward.

The wind in the camp was blowing, making the trees sway left and right.

Cui Si tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her expression calm and peaceful.

Cui Jing looked at the sun and said, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Brother Jiang ordered some rice dumplings this morning. They are ready now. Let me pick you up. Let's go and eat some rice dumplings."

Cui Si was stunned: "Is today the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"Yes, it's the Dragon Boat Festival. I'm not in Xianyang this year, so I won't be able to see the dragon boats, but I can't miss the zongzi. Come on, I'll take you to eat zongzi."

He didn't mention Yan Xingchuan, nor did he ask about what happened today. He just said that today was the Dragon Boat Festival and he would take her to eat rice dumplings.

Cui Si's heart warmed, and she smiled. She asked, "Do you have any bean-filled rice dumplings that I like?"

Cui Jing smiled and replied, "Of course, there are ones with meat filling and ones with bean filling. You can try them all."

Cui Jing took Cui Si to his temporary tent.

When they arrived, Jiang Cinian and several children of the Cui family were there. When they saw the brother and sister coming, they quickly invited them over to eat rice dumplings.

Cui Si asked Song Lu to take one to eat, and then she sat down next to Jiang Cinian. Cui Jing took the seat next to her.

Jiang Cinian used scissors to cut a bean-filled rice dumpling for her: "You like it."

Nowadays, there is a custom of eating rice dumplings and racing dragon boats during the Dragon Boat Festival. However, the rice dumplings are made very big, as if one rice dumpling can feed the whole family.

Cui Si felt it was wasteful and disgusted with it, so in previous years, she had people make square and triangular rice dumplings at home. This way, she could eat them herself or distribute them to the servants in the mansion.

The small rice dumplings made today are small square dumplings, the size of a palm, so even Cui Si can eat two.

She took a spoon and scooped up the rice dumplings to eat, one spoonful at a time, very gracefully.

Cui Jing took a zongzi and sat aside to eat it. Seeing that she was still so polite, he despised her: "Look at you, you are so pretentious while eating a zongzi."

Cui Si glanced at him and said, "It's not me who's being pretentious, it's you, Third Brother, who's being rough."

Cui Sanlang, who used to be so bright and clean, is now sitting there eating rice dumplings in a swaggering manner. The image of a noble young man from a wealthy family has been completely reduced.

The vicissitudes of these years, tsk tsk tsk...

"Oh, really?" Cui Jing touched his face, somewhat unconvinced. Could it be that he really had become rough?

"That's right." Everyone echoed.

Cui Jing's face immediately fell when he heard this, and he felt that today's rice dumplings were not fragrant anymore.

Cui Si quickly handed him a zongzi: "Come on, come on, have another one. Don't mind it. For the sake of world peace and a better future, it's not shabby. I'm still waiting for my third brother to be made a marquis and become a prime minister in the future so that he can be my supporter."

Cui Jing finished the rice dumpling in his hand in a few bites, and then took the rice dumpling she handed over. He felt relieved immediately:

"Whatever. No matter what, I'm still your brother. Don't make fun of me in the future. Brother Jiang, you have to take care of her."

Jiang Chenian sat aside and said with a smile, "That won't work. I'll listen to Sixth Lady."

When Cui Si heard this, she immediately became proud: "Did you hear that? He said he would listen to me. Don't teach him bad things, humph!"

Jiang Cinian nodded: "Don't worry, I can't learn it."

Everyone was delighted when they heard this.

Seeing that the two men were willing to fight and be beaten, Cui Jing gave in and said, "Never mind, what else can I expect? Anyone who marries her will become a henpecked husband."

"Are you calling me a shrew?"

"No, you're too fierce."

Not everyone can bear a lady like this.

Not to mention Jiang Cinian, even Yan Xingchuan would be reduced to a grandson.

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was very joyful.

Cui Si also laughed while eating the rice dumplings, and her depressed and depressed heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

Seeing that she had finished her meal, Jiang Cinian gave her another one and said, "Eat another one."

Cui Si looked back at him and saw that his expression was gentle and his eyes were clear and pure. For a moment, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She nodded: "Don't just focus on me, eat too."

.

There was harmony and joy in Cui Jing's tent. On the other side, after Cui Si left, Shangguan Tong, brothers Shen Sui and Shen Mo, as well as Xu Dazhi and others entered the tent with a military doctor.

Yan Xingchuan sat in front of the bed, staring straight ahead, allowing the military doctor to take his pulse and check his wounds.

He slept for more than ten days, and the arrow wounds on his body had already scarred, but the wounds were too deep and had not yet healed completely.

"Is today the Dragon Boat Festival?" Yan Xingchuan asked.

Chen Mo replied, "Exactly. The fireman also made some rice dumplings today and gave two to each of us."

"Go get two."

Shangguan Tong ordered someone to bring two zongzi, then sat down and said, "My lord, please be careful on the battlefield in the future and don't do anything so risky."

"No." Yan Xingchuan nodded and asked them, "How is Chongshan Pass going now?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo immediately locked Chongshan in the door and told him how the Northern Yan army fought back.

As he spoke, he began to flatter Cui Si again: "Your Majesty, you don't know how powerful the Sixth Lady is. Now the people in Chongshan Pass are in a panic."

At this point, Chen Mo asked Yan Xingchuan: "How did the conversation between the Master and the Sixth Lady go?"

"Nothing." Yan Xingchuan's expression remained unchanged. "Since she has already been engaged, let's not talk about these things anymore. From now on, she is my adopted sister and the consort of the King of Northern Yan."

The sister and daughter of an emperor are called Di Ji, and the sister and daughter of a king are called Wang Ji.

Another word is princess.

Yan Xingchuan thought that there were pros and cons to her marrying Jiang Cinian. After all, her status was lower, and anyone who was short-sighted would dare to step on her in the future.

In this way, he would make up for this shortcoming. He couldn't let others bully her.

The Cui family and Beiyan have long been in the same boat, so it doesn't matter if they are hated by Beiyan's enemies.

"Wang Ji?" Shen Mo was completely stunned.

Everyone looked at each other.

Yan Xingchuan nodded and said, "I need to rest for a few days. The affairs of Chongshan Pass will be handed over to Princess Wang. The lords of Northern Yan, please wait for your orders and do not make any mistakes."

When Yan Xingchuan said this, everyone present looked a little weird.

Shen Sui looked unhappy: "My Lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Madam Cui is a woman and an outsider after all."

"What about a woman? What about a man?" Yan Xingchuan looked up and glanced at him. "When it comes to employing people, I never stick to gender. Madam Cui is very wise and is my adopted sister. Since I am unwell, there is nothing wrong with her leading the Battle of Chongshan Pass."

Shen Sui wanted to say something, but Shen Mo pulled him back and shook his head at him, telling him to stop.

"This is settled. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's have a good rest. Tomorrow morning we will gather everyone to discuss the attack on Chongshan Pass..."
