Chapter 253: Prince Jingyuan Was Rejected Twice
Su Shengsheng was suddenly picked up by him. He held her neck tightly with one hand and kissed her lips almost madly.
It took a long time before he let her go, who was almost suffocating, and let her breathe some air.
"Shengsheng, you finally have me in your heart..."
Endless joy flashed in Xie Xuan's phoenix eyes.
Su Shengsheng looked at him dazedly, "Why do you think so?"
She has him in her heart, how could she not know?
Xie Xuan hugged her tightly, as if she wanted to melt into his body, "You are afraid that I will marry a concubine like Prince Jingyuan did."
His eyes were burning, and his voice was lowered, "You are jealous."
Su Shengsheng blinked, unable to refute.
Xie Xuan held her fingers tightly together, kissed her brow, and sighed with satisfaction.
Holding hands with her in this life, I watch the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening, taking one step a day at a time. Finally, there is hope.
Outside the window, there is only a light cloud struggling in the blue sky.
A gust of wind blew by, leading the confused clouds to climb up the uninhabited peaks again and again.
…
Prince Jingyuan, the younger brother of the current emperor.
He brought his wife and family along with him, traveling to southern Xinjiang. If Ji Cong's coffin had not been sealed by the glacier, it would have rotted away long ago.
Even so, the idle prince had better go to Lingshan to pay a visit to Princess Shuhua before investigating the case.
He and Zong Zheng Ruijin were born out of wedlock, while the former Saint and Princess Shuhua were born out of wedlock. Based on seniority and legitimacy, he should be the one to pay his respects to her.
Unexpectedly, Princess Shuhua turned him down.
Prince Jingyuan was also very generous and bowed through the door, showing all courtesy.
As for what happened next, I can only describe it as casual.
Ji Cong died before the imperial edict was issued. According to the officials' statements, Prince Jingyuan finally determined that Ji Cong committed suicide by taking poison.
It was because he neglected his duty and damaged the communication line as soon as he arrived, and then was unable to restore it and perform his duties. He was also afraid of being punished by the emperor and was unable to bear the consequences.
In short, the death of the councilor, whose status was second only to the prime minister, was concluded in such a hasty manner.
Su Shengsheng was very surprised when she found out.
Why would the emperor send such a stupid prince here?
In the end, it was Xie Xuan who explained to her that the current emperor had frozen himself in the winter while fleeing from the pursuers of the Northern Rong.
His only prince was thrown off his horse during a rebellion and died of fright due to illness.
In short, the emperor has no prince, and his future hangs in the balance...
The Prince Wenrui who accompanied Ning Jie into the palace to study, and other members of the royal family, were chosen by the emperor to enter the palace for a purpose.
This situation is similar to that of Baishang Kingdom.
They were all adopted and inherited the throne.
No wonder, the Ningguo Mansion is now frequented by powerful people.
Su Shengsheng thought that the court did not dare to send Wang Yongshou because it was afraid that Xie Xuan would kill him with a knife.
This prince can at least suppress Xie Xuan.
Unexpectedly, he came to southern Xinjiang to make military achievements.
Among those royal family members, only two are considered popular.
Prince Wenrui is one of them, but he has no military achievements.
The emperor first ordered Ning Jie to accompany him to study, and then sent Prince Jingyuan to the southern border to make friends with Duke Ning...
Su Shengsheng originally thought that Xie Xuan should at least take some action, but unexpectedly, he became even more unemployed.
She felt itchy when she saw someone who was even more idle than that rich and idle king, and who kept trying to find a sense of existence in her.
It had been nearly half a month since the assassination incident, and it was already the beginning of summer, but he still didn't let her go out.
If you really want to go out, you have to tie him up.
If you didn’t know, you would think that the great general was frightened by someone.
When I came here last year, it was already autumn.
As soon as summer comes, there are two extremes.
In winter, Xie Xuan is like a stove and can also be used as a hand warmer.
But this summer afternoon, it’s a bit intolerable.
Su Shengsheng struggled several times before she finally pulled his arm away.
It was so hot that she couldn't breathe.
She felt sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, and nappy in summer, so she couldn't help but pick up the habit of taking a nap again.
Who would have thought that the general who had nothing to do all day had also learned to enjoy himself.
Now that there were radios issuing orders at any time, she began to wonder if he was about to lose the main gate of the barracks.
Xie Xuan couldn't fall asleep as soon as he woke up. He played with her hair and said, "Prince Jingyuan wants to host a banquet for you and several officials from Chanzhou in a few days. Do you want to go?"
?
Have you entrusted this favor to Prince Jingyuan?
Su Shengsheng snorted lazily, "What were you doing so early?"
After saying that, she felt something was wrong and glanced at him sideways, "Are you familiar with Prince Jingyuan?"
Otherwise, why would that person talk to him.
Xie Xuan grasped the wrist that had become somewhat plump due to his care, and hummed absentmindedly, "Not too familiar..."
Su Shengsheng threw away his hand that was inserted into her sleeve, and moved away because she felt too hot. "I'm annoyed and don't want to see you."
Xie Xuan reluctantly withdrew his hand and didn't dare to touch it again.
"Actually, this Prince Wenrui is..."
He hesitantly leaned over, only to see that Su Shengsheng had already fallen asleep.
"Why are you so sleepy lately?" he murmured, his eyes moving to fall on her flat belly.
Accompanying Prince Jingyuan was Mr. Song, who was appointed by the emperor as the magistrate of Tianqianguan County and is now a Jinshi.
After returning to Tianqian Pass, Mr. Song Jinshi has been in contact with Magistrate Sang.
Song Jinshi still had some regrets about the emperor's appointment.
"With Princess Xuanming in charge of the Tianqian Pass, there's no room for me to show my abilities. I'd rather go to Wuzhou and show my abilities."
I heard that the sandy beaches along the coast there are all covered with snow, and it is a place where extremely cold and hot climates intersect.
After the princess learned about the situation, she came up with a solution.
He really wanted to see with his own eyes the transformation of another place.
"Just cherish your blessings." County Magistrate Sang looked at Mr. Song, who was just like him in the past, full of passion and bookishness, and touched his beard helplessly.
If he hadn't used the princess to gain merit and found combustible ice to replace coal, he would have spent his whole life doing this.
Now that the emperor has no prince, asking Prince Jingyuan to come here is of great significance.
Trying to survive in the gap between the emperor and King Xuanming is much more difficult than asking a barren state of Wu to produce food.
We still don’t know what happened to the corn shipped from foreign countries!
County Magistrate Sang has now been promoted to the Ministry of Revenue, all thanks to Su Shengsheng's contribution, and he originally wanted to go to the mansion to say goodbye.
However, since the last time Su Shengsheng was stabbed, the culprit has not been found, so King Xuanming has protected the princess.
Thinking that there might not be a chance to meet again in the future, County Magistrate Sang sighed with a hint of regret.
Bo Zhubu, who had been by his side for many years, was like a worm in his stomach. "If not, can I deliver the visiting card on your behalf?"
County Magistrate Sang sighed, "Haven't you heard? Prince Jingyuan couldn't even see the princess."
Although she disliked the official, the arrogant young woman not only held a grudge, but also used Princess Shuhua as a shield.
As a daughter-in-law, it is not easy for her to see the person who said her mother-in-law doesn't want to see her.
Listen, now he is really spoiled by the military and civilians of Nanling.
Even the prince can disappear at will...
If he goes, won't he be met with failure?
It's impossible that he, a county magistrate, has more face than Prince Jingyuan, right?
Why!
County Magistrate Sang sighed and composed himself, preparing to bid farewell to the land of Tianqianguan where he had served for many years.
Su Shengsheng, who was stuck at home "working", received a message from her fourth sister.
Hearing Su Yuanling's words about the hidden nail, Xie Xuan's face turned cold and he crushed a chess piece with his fingertips.
“It’s actually him!”
Su Shengsheng also looked confused.
