Chapter 999: Self-deprecation
Maybe she will be willing to help after learning the truth, but even so, the road ahead will still be full of thorns.
Therefore, he needed to confirm her ability before he could confess everything to her.
Although there were countless legends about her, he had to see her strength with his own eyes to feel at ease. So he wrote a firm word on the rice paper: "Wait."
At dinner, Jiang Xue found that there was indeed sour soup duck on the table, as well as seven or eight other dishes that she liked every day.
“Yun Che, there are only two of us. Isn’t this a bit too much food?”
Although the two men were of noble birth, they were not extravagant and usually had no more than three dishes and a soup for a meal.
Facing today's rich feast, Xiao Zhan smiled and served her a bowl of duck in sour soup. He gently pinched her nose and said, "Xiaoxue, you have to eat for two people now. It's not too much to cook a few more dishes."
"Even if it's for three people, it shouldn't be so much."
"Who knows what our children will like in the future? So we should prepare more and give our children more choices."
Jiang Xue smiled and replied, "The baby won't be born for another nine months. You make it sound like it's going to be picky about food right away. Yun Che, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhan picked up a piece of stuffed tofu and put it into her mouth, his eyes full of love: "Xiaoxue, you are too thin, eat more."
Jiang Xue swallowed the stuffed tofu silently, secretly surprised at how delicious it was - it tasted better than ever before.
Obviously, the ones Xiao Zhan fed himself were different.
After finishing the stuffed tofu, he simply picked up the bowl of sour duck soup and continued to feed her carefully.
After she tasted a mouthful of the soup, she said with a smile in her eyes: "Yun Che, are you planning to feed me like this every day in the future?"
"As long as you are happy, what's wrong with that?" he responded gently.
"But, before I was pregnant, you rarely fed me like this."
Jiang Xue sighed softly: "It seems that the baby in your belly is more important to you. I am just taking advantage of the baby. No, I am jealous."
Xiao Zhan couldn't help but laugh: "Silly girl, haven't I told you many times?
You are the one I cherish the most. How can a child compare to you? I am more considerate to you now because I know how hard it is for you to be pregnant and I feel sorry for you. "
"Nothing in the world is better than my Xiaoxue!"
"I'm not stupid!"
Jiang Xue retorted with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness: "I have always known how much you cherish me, I was just joking with you just now."
He scooped another spoonful of soup and brought it to her mouth: "Now that the jokes are over, can we enjoy the food?"
"As you command, my Lord Prime Minister."
After finishing the bowl of soup, Xiao Zhan kept picking up food for her.
At first, she accepted them one by one, but soon found that he seemed to have no intention of stopping, as if he really wanted to make her fat and white.
“Yun Che, I really can’t eat anymore.”
"If you can't eat, don't force yourself."
Xiao Zhan replied: "I'll take a walk with you later to help you digest your food."
At this moment, Jiang Xue realized that he didn't really mean to raise her like a pig, but because she hadn't refused before, he thought he could still eat some more.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Xiaoxue, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at myself for being so stupid."
Xiao Zhan said softly: "If you are considered stupid, then there are probably not many smart people in this world."
"Is it really so?"
"Of course, my Xiaoxue is the smartest girl in the world."
Since returning to the capital, Lan Feng has taken on the task of training soldiers stationed in the capital, and he has to be busy until very late every day before he can go home.
However, no matter how late he returned, Jiang Xiaowei would leave a light on for him every night and wait for his return.
When Lan Feng walked in, Jiang Xiaowei immediately came up to him and put a cup of warm tea in his hands.
"Husband, you are back."
Seeing that her expression tonight was different from usual and she seemed happier, he couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Wei, while I was away, did anything happen that made you particularly happy?"
"There is indeed a great and happy event that makes people happy."
Hearing this, Lan Feng became even more curious: "What exactly is going on?"
"Husband, do you know? The eldest princess is pregnant."
"What?"
Lan Feng could hardly believe his ears: "Didn't they say that she was damaged by the cold poison? How come..."
"My third brother has been taking care of her body, and she has fully recovered recently."
Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "Although this matter is indeed a bit sudden. I was also very surprised when the third brother sent someone to report the news today.
But on second thought, Her Royal Highness the Princess and my third cousin have given so much to the country, I hope God will have mercy on them and give them another child.
Now their wish has come true and I am really happy for them.”
Lan Feng nodded in agreement: "Yes, we should be happy for them."
Jiang Xue was poisoned in order to save him, and this has always been a regret in his heart. Now that she is pregnant again, he feels relieved.
"Husband, I'm going to the temple to fulfill my vow tomorrow."
"Repay a vow? What vow?"
“After learning that the princess was poisoned with cold in order to save you and that it affected her health, I felt deeply guilty.
Therefore, every month I would go to the temple to offer my hand-copied Buddhist scriptures and pray to the Buddha, hoping that she would recover soon.”
Hearing this, Lan Feng couldn't help but hug her in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness.
How lucky is he to have such a kind wife who understands and loves him?
"Why have you never mentioned this to me?" Lan Feng asked.
"At first, because you didn't love me, if I told you that I was praying for the princess, wouldn't it seem like I was trying to please you or force you to be moved?"
Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "Later, you were busy with military affairs, so I had no chance to talk to you."
Lan Feng was speechless for a moment: "It was my fault in the past."
He blamed himself for falling in love with her too late and causing her to suffer so much.
Jiang Xiaowei stroked his lips gently and smiled: "Even if you didn't have a place for me in your heart at the beginning, you have always been sincere to me.
It is your sincerity towards me that makes me approach you without hesitation. You have never deceived me, even when you didn't love me.
And when you fell in love with me, you gave me all your tenderness. You are the best husband in the world, so please don't belittle yourself. "
Lan Feng sighed softly: "I fell in love with you too late, and I can't always be with you. Only a silly girl like you would think that I am a good husband."
“I’m not the only one who thinks so.”
Jiang Xiaowei immediately responded: "Which famous lady in the city doesn't envy me, the general's wife?"
"Really?"
"certainly."
Jiang Xiaowei continued, "You were once recognized as one of the most marrying noblemen in the city."
Indeed, Xiao Zhan is good at literature and Lan Feng is good at martial arts, both of them are the dream lovers in the hearts of girls in Beijing.
