Holding Chen Jingxi, Chu Jinghuai closed his eyes and slept soundly.
He slept until dark. After waking up, Chu Jinghuai did not get up immediately, but half-supported his head and looked at Chen Jingxi's sleeping face.
Chen Jingxi rested her head in his arms, her brows relaxed, her breathing light and clear. She was no longer as active as she was during the day, and felt more peaceful.
Chu Jinghuai looked at this face and liked it more and more. In fact, Chen Jingxi was very beautiful. It was not the kind of delicate beauty, but the kind of beauty that was bright, tough, and bold, and seemed to have endless vitality.
As long as she appears, she will attract attention.
Chu Jinghuai had a faint smile in his eyes, and he gently stroked Chen Jingxi's cheek with his fingertips. "I really want to lock you up and no one can see you."
After Chu Jinghuai said this, he laughed. If he locked Chen Jingxi up, she would burn down the military camp the next moment.
He would always remember what Chen Jingxi had said to Shi Qianmo: I have always preferred those unfettered, free days...
He would definitely give her the freedom she wanted.
Chu Jinghuai didn't stay in bed for too long. He stared at Chen Jingxi's sleeping face for a while and then got up.
The war is about to begin, and the king will no longer have early morning court sessions, which is not something he can enjoy now.
After putting on his coat and adjusting himself a little, Chu Jinghuai walked out into the night wind.
In March of this year, King Su of Daxia launched a rebellion in Qingzhou, claiming to purge the emperor's side. He pointed out that Zhao Liao and Wang Zi, who were close to the emperor, were treacherous ministers who needed to be eliminated. He then took control of the area near Qingzhou and his military strength quickly increased to more than 100,000.
The whole world was shocked and the people were talking about it.
For some reason, Chen Jingxi had been getting hungry very quickly these days. He kept swallowing his saliva as he watched the fireman making a fire and cooking.
The firemen were smug. The princess was so greedy, and those soldiers dared to say their food wasn't tasty. Did they eat as much as the princess? A bunch of idiots who didn't know what was good.
"Princess, the dumplings are ready. Can I make you a bowl first?"
Chen Jingxi swallowed her saliva. She wanted to wait for Chu Jinghuai to come back and eat together. "What's going on outside?"
The firemen also pay close attention to the situation on the battlefield so that the soldiers can have hot meals as soon as possible.
"Just now I saw someone shouting 'kill!' I'm afraid the fighting is going on fiercely." The fireman glanced at Chen Jingxi and continued, "I don't think this battle will be over for a while. Why don't you have some dumplings first, Princess?"
"Eat something first?"
"Yes, eat something first."
"I want the one with mustard greens and pork."
"Okay! Princess, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
The firemen happily made dumplings for Chen Jingxi. The princess was the most humble lady they had ever seen. She ate the same food as everyone else and even said thank you and said it was delicious after eating.
They have been working as firemen for more than ten years. Although they cannot compare with the soldiers fighting on the battlefield, when the princess said that the food they cooked was delicious, they felt that being a fireman for a lifetime was worth it.
Therefore, they changed their ways to please Chen Jingxi. Yesterday, Chen Jingxi suddenly said that he wanted to eat dumplings. The most delicious dumplings were those with white cabbage and pork filling, but there was no white cabbage in the military camp.
It happened to be spring, and many wild vegetables were sprouting in the mountains and fields. More than a hundred firemen went up the mountains and fields to dig wild vegetables before dawn.
This also alarmed both the enemy and us, who all thought that the enemy was planning a surprise attack.
The dumplings were out of the pot, along with a bowl of wild vegetable and bird egg soup. Chen Jingxi took a bite and found it incredibly delicious.
The firemen all watched her eat. Chen Jingxi looked up and said, "The soup is fragrant and sweet, and the dumplings are juicy and fresh. They are both delicious."
The firemen all laughed happily. It was only because the princess knew how to eat and praise people that they, the firemen, felt more and more hopeful as they worked.
Every day, the princess said that the food they cooked was delicious.
On this day, as the sun was setting, the sound of retreating troops was heard on the battlefield.
Chen Jingxi had already eaten and drunk his fill and was waiting for Chu Jinghuai in the tent. When Chu Jinghuai came in, the flying corners of his robe carried a bloody smell.
Chen Jingxi went forward to help him take off his armor, but when he touched his blood-stained robe, he couldn't help vomiting.
Chu Jinghuai quickly put down his sword and tried to help her. "What happened?"
"Don't come over here, don't touch me, it stinks."
"Does it smell bad?" Chu Jinghuai lowered his head and smelled it. There was indeed a smell, but didn't she say before that it was the smell of male hormones?
She likes the taste, and now it has changed like this. Isn't this too fast?
"This...could it be..." Chu Jinghuai didn't dare to say anything, but just guessed.
"Go and call the army doctor."
When Chen Jingxi heard him call for a military doctor, he was stunned for a moment, "Are you injured?"
"I'm fine. Let's talk after the military doctor arrives."
The Black Armor Guards thought Chu Jinghuai was injured, so they went to the wounded camp, took the military doctor and left.
The military doctor was angry but dared not say anything. When he arrived at the commander's tent, he saw two people standing there, still quite a distance away. Could it be that they were having a quarrel and they had asked him, a military doctor, to mediate?
Don't look at his age, he is not married yet, so he has no idea about the quarrels between young couples.
Chu Jinghuai coughed lightly and said, "Show it to the princess."
Chen Jingxi didn't understand why. How could she show it to her? Wasn't she fine? She ate well and slept well.
The military doctor took Chen Jingxi's pulse, frowned, looked up at Chen Jingxi, and then changed his hand to hold the pulse.
Chen Jingxi was quite nervous. She was most afraid of the Chinese medicine doctor frowning. The thought crossed her mind: "I'm okay, doctor? I'm okay, doctor..."
The military doctor breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back tactically.
Chen Jingxi: Is there any hope for me, doctor? Is there any hope for me? Please tell me something.
The military doctor said, "It's okay."
Chen Jingxi: Alive.
"The princess is just a little bloated and has indigestion."
