Chapter 955 The Happiest Princess
Lin Yin came to greet them with Feng Zhiming and Feng Liangjue: "Third cousin, Your Highness the Princess, welcome back."
Xiao Zhan responded politely: "Thanks to my cousin's wife for taking care of me these days."
"As long as everything is safe, as long as everything is safe." Lin Yin said comfortingly.
Feng Zhiming walked up to Xiao Zhan curiously and said, "Uncle San, I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess is your wife and also my and Jue'er's cousin. Is that true?"
Xiao Zhan touched his head gently: "Yes, this is true."
Jiang Xue looked at Feng Zhiming, expecting to see some displeasure in her heart, but she only saw an innocent smile on his face.
It seems that studying with Jiang Heng during this period has indeed made him more sensible.
Not long after, Xiao Zhan learned that his aunt was doing well, so he and Jiang Xue left Feng Mansion.
"Yun Che, your aunt lives in a nunnery outside the city, so it might not be appropriate to go there now. How about you accompany me to the palace to see Heng'er today, and then visit your aunt tomorrow?"
"Okay." He hadn't seen Jiang Heng for a long time and missed his cousin very much.
When Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan appeared in front of Jiang Heng, the latter immediately broke into a bright smile: "Aunt, cousin uncle."
Xiao Zhan squatted down and opened his arms: "Heng'er, your cousin is back!"
Jiang Heng happily threw himself into Xiao Zhan's arms without hesitation.
That day, Jiang Heng talked with them about many issues and did not leave until sunset.
When walking on the corridor in the palace, Jiang Xue suddenly stopped. Xiao Zhan was puzzled: "Xiaoxue, why did you stop?"
“When I was little I dreamed of someone carrying me down this corridor.”
Her voice was a little coquettish: "Yun Che, can you carry me on your back?"
Xiao Zhan chuckled. He liked the little willfulness she occasionally showed. It was as if he had returned to the carefree days of the past when she always made various requests and he always gladly agreed.
So he squatted down and said, "Xiaoxue, come up."
Jiang Xue jumped lightly onto Xiao Zhan's back and said with a smile: "Yun Che, you are the best."
"Xiaoxue, you are too thin."
As they walked, Xiao Zhan said, "You should eat more in the future so that you can gain some weight."
"Well, with you around, I'm sure I'll eat well and get fat soon." Her laughter was as sweet as a silver bell.
"That's right." Xiao Zhan said with satisfaction.
Not far away, Feng Ziqing witnessed all this. Although he knew he had no say, he still couldn't help but step forward to disrupt the situation.
Since Jiang Heng is now on Jiang Xue's side, her chances of turning things around are slim. It would be better to make things difficult for Jiang Xue when she is happy. She would feel relieved when she sees her suffer.
Feng Ziqing stood in front of the two of them and said, "Yun Che, although you are back safely now, don't forget that Jiang Xue once shot you at the border.
She is so cruel, why are you still willing to be with her? Aren't you afraid that she will attack you again?"
Xiao Zhan glanced at Feng Ziqing calmly, then turned to Jiang Xue: "Xiaoxue, did you forget to arrange for the Queen Mother to return to the Royal Temple to continue praying for the country of Gan?"
"I really forgot, but it doesn't matter if it's a day or two late. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Jiang Xue replied gently.
Feng Ziqing didn't expect Xiao Zhan to be so indifferent to her, and even let her return to the cold and lonely place of Zhaoti Temple.
“Yun Che, are you still my cousin? No, you have been completely bewitched by Jiang Xue and are no longer the same person you used to be.”
"If I say no, it's because you are no longer the cousin I remember. As long as I have Xiaoxue, I am happy even if people call me a fool."
Xiao Zhan said, "Cousin, it seems that you haven't learned to control your temper during your time in Zhaoti Temple. It would be good for you to stay a few more days."
After saying that, he carried Jiang Xue on his back and left.
Feng Ziqing looked at their backs, her eyes full of resentment.
Blood ties seem so powerless in the face of interests. Just like Jiang Heng and Xiao Zhan were bribed by Jiang Xue, there is no one to rely on in the world, only self-reliance.
After returning to the mansion, Xiao Zhan took Jiang Xue to take a bath together.
She understood what he was thinking. He didn't really want to take a bath. Sure enough, he started teasing her not long after.
Finally, he carried the wet girl out of the bathtub, carefully dried her body, and gently combed her wet hair.
“Yun Che!” She exclaimed softly, with a hint of surprise and sweetness in her voice.
"Um?"
"How did you escape from Yelu Cheng?"
"It was Yelu Minzhen who saved me."
Jiang Xue was surprised: "She?"
"That's right."
Xiao Zhan confirmed: "After being captured at Suoqiao, I was brought to Yelu Cheng. And because Yelu Cheng was obsessed with Min Zhen, she was able to stay with him."
"At first, she pretended to hate me every day, and slowly won Yelu Cheng's trust, so that he allowed her to 'punish' me," Xiao Zhan explained.
Jiang Xue asked distressedly: "Did the scar on your body come from that time?"
"Yes."
Xiao Zhan replied, "At the time I thought she really hated me, but later I realized that all her actions were to save me - this was the last thing she did for my second cousin."
“A few years ago, Minzhen rescued a master named Tan Shengtai, who was proficient in disguise and could completely change a person’s appearance.
She originally planned to let Tan Shengtai help her second cousin restore his appearance, but things suddenly changed. "
"In the end, she asked Tan Shengtai to create a fake me and successfully replaced me. The Xiao Zhan whose hand was cut off on the battlefield was actually a substitute."
Jiang Xue suddenly realized, approached Xiao Zhan, and asked softly: "Then why didn't you come to me immediately after escaping?"
Xiao Zhan didn’t want her to know the predicament at that time, so he simply said: “At that time, I was very ill and weak, and I couldn’t return immediately.
When I finally got back to the border city, you had already returned to the capital with the coffin. After hearing the news, I didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed to the capital day and night, for fear that a step later would make you even more sad. "
"If Yelumin really lets you go, what will she do?"
"She said she wanted to witness the fall of Xixia with her own eyes to appease the hatred in her heart."
"It seems that she has not had an easy time in Xixia these years." Jiang Xue sighed.
Xiao Zhan said softly: "Maybe. However, from now on, I will try my best to make you, Xiaoxue, the happiest princess."
Jiang Xue chuckled and responded: "Yun Che, with you by my side, I have long been the happiest princess."
"Then I will continue to make you happier and as free as we were when we were kids." Xiao Zhan said gently.
“It doesn’t necessarily have to go back to the past.”
Jiang Xue said with a sweet smile: "Every moment has its own unique beauty. For example, now I can snuggle up to you and fall asleep, which I couldn't do when I was a child."
Xiao Zhan gently tapped her forehead and said with a smile: "You little naughty girl!"
She always said things that touched his heart inadvertently, but she seemed so innocent.
