Chapter 54 I have nothing to do with her
After joining the main group, the three children rushed over.
Xiang Xiuxiu was the first to throw herself into Xiangying's arms.
"Mother," her frail little body trembled slightly as she sobbed, "I thought you eloped!"
Xiangying's mouth twitched and he patted his daughter's head twice.
"How could mother want men and not you?"
Xiang Xiuxiu raised her head, her big misty eyes opened wide
She turned around and looked at Xiang Yuanxiao: "Brother, I said that mother has changed. She no longer regards men as the most important thing in life like before!"
Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang walked over awkwardly.
The two little guys clearly had worry in their eyes, but they tried hard to act mature.
Xiang Yuanxiao: "It's good that you didn't elope. Otherwise, you're done, hum!"
Xiang Yuanlang put his hands behind his back and nodded in a mature manner: "I'm glad you're back."
Xie Chen glanced at the children, then quickly walked to the front of the team to deal with the next matters.
The skinny monkey came running over panting, with dark eye sockets, and it looked like he hadn't gotten enough rest.
"Princess, you are finally back. Your three children are amazing. They are full of energy. They want to play after eating, and they want to eat again after waking up from sleep."
If it wasn't for Jie Chen's sake, how could Skinny Monkey be so patient in taking care of the baby?
Once you catch one, the other two will run around like little ducklings set free, jumping back and forth.
Looking at his originally thin cheeks, which were now slightly sunken, Xiangying couldn't help but smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
This is what it’s like to raise a child. Whoever does it will become exhausted.
In order to wait for Xiangying and the others, the entire exile team delayed their journey for a day.
So Xie Chen gave the order and the team set off immediately and rushed to the next Lianhuadu Post Station overnight.
But even if we travel day and night, it will still take three days to get there.
The soldiers quickened their pace and swung their whips faster.
During the break, Xiangying made some fish-flavored shredded pork rice balls for the children.
Cut the tender meat of wood ear and bamboo shoots into shreds, pour the sauce on them and stir-fry until fragrant, then wrap them in fragrant white rice.
The little guys devoured the food.
Xiangying felt that he had only walked for a day, but they were so hungry as if they hadn't eaten for half a month.
Xiang Yuanxiao's mouth was greasy from eating. He looked up and said, "This is what we call eating. Before, the dry biscuits were fed to horses, and the horses found them unpalatable."
When he said this, the old Concubine Shangguan, who had just received a pile of dry biscuits not far away, was originally happy, but when she heard Xiang Yuanxiao's words, her face darkened and her eyes drooped.
"Does this child have manners?"
Xiangying touched the child's head and said gently, "Eat quickly and ignore those people."
The three little guys immediately behaved well and sat on the big rock with Tao Xue, eating meat in a row.
Seeing Xiangying's bad attitude, Concubine Shangguan didn't dare to say anything.
It can be seen from the current situation that the military supervisors and even the soldiers are on her side.
There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with her in the future!
Concubine Shangguan retracted her gaze and moved her wrinkled mouth slightly: "Qianqian, you eat the dry biscuits that the soldiers just distributed first. When you are full, give the rest to them."
The women surrounding the old concubine were stunned.
After looking at each other in bewilderment, someone spoke up in embarrassment: "Mrs. Dowager, these dry biscuits were given to us by the military supervisor. Everyone has one. Why did you let her eat it first?"
Old Concubine Shangguan glanced at them sideways, her triangular eyes gloomy.
"What, you're not satisfied? You should understand clearly that my life is precious as long as I am here, so the military supervisors are willing to give me more food."
"You are taking advantage of me. Now I say whoever gets the most will get it. Otherwise, you won't get any next time!"
She was quite strong and the other female members of the family did not dare to disobey her. They all waited behind her to huddle together for warmth.
Xiangying watched from afar and saw that not a single woman resisted.
He handed the biscuits in his hand to everyone one by one.
Xiang Qianqian accepted it with peace of mind, took a bite of each one, and finally waved her hand.
"I'm full, you guys eat now."
Qi Fengyi had just gone to the woods to practice boxing. When she returned to Xiangying, she frowned when she saw this scene.
"When I was in the capital before, I never heard that Concubine Shangguan was so mean. Why is the Fifth Princess also like this?"
"The smaller the temple, the stronger the evil spirits; the shallower the pond, the more turtles there are." Xiangying smiled.
She turned around and saw Jie Chen and his men patrolling, so she immediately walked over.
"Are your eyes better? Let me see?"
Xiangying saw that the wound on his eyelid was still slightly red and swollen, so he wanted to reach out and take a look.
Unexpectedly, before the hand touched Jie Chen, he blocked it back with the hilt of his sword.
"It's none of your business." Xie Chen said coldly, then strode away with his men.
His attitude, in the eyes of people around him, represents a certain meaning.
Was Xiangying abandoned by General Jie?
Jie Chen didn't let him watch it, and Xiang Ying didn't insist.
Anyway, when it hurts, she's not the one who suffers.
After a while, the skinny monkey came up from behind and started talking to her in a few words.
Xiang Ying's eyes were cold. At the end, she said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't hesitate."
The skinny monkey smiled and said, "The princess is an open-minded person. In fact, it's not me, but the brothers are curious and insisted on asking me to ask."
"It seems like you have a good relationship with Jie Jianjun. What is the relationship between you two?"
Xiangying glanced at him.
Her fair and bright face exudes a majestic and heroic air without even being angry.
The skinny monkey became nervous when he was looked at by her.
"I'm just curious, Princess, please don't think too much about it."
Xiangying crossed her arms and sneered with a smile, "I didn't think much about it, but the relationship between me and Jie Chen is what you think."
"We had a relationship when we were in the capital before, and I have nothing else to tell you."
She spoke frankly and didn't say anything nonsense.
The original owner had a lot of handsome men, which one of them was not her favorite?
The skinny monkey was slightly surprised, then he tried to smooth things over tactfully: "I see, if it weren't for the relationship between the two countries, I might have to call you sister-in-law."
As they were talking, another military supervisor came from behind, shouted twice, and called the skinny monkey away.
Xiangying looked at the skinny monkey running over and nodding and bowing to admit his mistake, and seeing the look on the military supervisor's face, she guessed that the other party was blaming the skinny monkey for asking her about these gossips.
After a while, the military supervisor returned to Xie Chen.
"This prisoner Xiangying is showing off your relationship everywhere, saying that you two had a passionate love affair!"
"For this reason, everyone's attitude towards her is too different from that towards other exiled prisoners, which is not conducive to our winning over the people."
Xie Chen paused while wiping his sword: "She doesn't tell the truth, don't believe her."
Then, he looked coldly at Xiangying's figure in the distance.
Remember those words she said.
Xie Chen said: "She has nothing to do with me."
When the military supervisor heard this, he nodded knowingly, "I understand."
The exile team had enough time to rest, and when they were about to set off, the skinny monkey suddenly came to Xiangying with seven or eight soldiers.
"Prisoner Xiangying, we have to take away your horse that is pulling the wooden cart."
