181 Name
"Do you want to change your daughter's name?"
In the brief silence, Xu Qinghe buried his head in Xie Qi's arms and reached out to push him away.
"you go."
Xie Qi was holding her and panting, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "Just leave this embarrassing thing to me, right?"
Xu Qinghe's cheeks were burning hot, and she was secretly annoyed at herself for being so possessed by the devil just now. How could she do this with this man in broad daylight at the door?
"You insisted on kissing me just now, so of course I want you to go."
Anyway, he is thick-skinned and good at coaxing people, so if he doesn't go, who will?
"Give me some benefits, and I'll go and coax my daughter."
At this time, my daughter was standing in the yard, but this man still wanted to take advantage of it.
Xu Qinghe held her breath, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face, then when she returned to her original position, she tore open his clothes from his shoulders and bit his shoulder hard.
Xie Qi hissed and pinched her soft waist where Ping An couldn't see.
Then he emerged from the veil, as if nothing had happened, strode out, and picked up his daughter.
Ping An was still covering his eyes.
But then I heard my father say, "Ping'an won't get stye. Your mother has got sand in her eye, and I was just helping her blow it out."
The little girl slowly opened her fingers and first saw her mother wearing a veiled hat in front of the table, and then saw her father holding her.
The former behaves with ease, while the latter is composed.
It's as if nothing really happened.
She put her hand down.
"Why does Mother wear a hat in the house?"
Under the veil, Xu Qinghe's face was actually still red, but fortunately there was a layer of cover so others could not easily see it, which made her more confident.
"Mom ate something bad yesterday and got a rash on her face."
The little girl cried out "Ah" and immediately went over to care for her mother.
After the mother-daughter love scene ended, Xie Qi said something else to coax his daughter away, and then went to the guest house with Xu Qinghe to visit Princess Jing'an and her husband.
Princess Jing'an saw her and asked her why she was wearing a hat.
Xie Qi looked over leisurely, waiting to see how she would respond.
Xu Qinghe pretended not to see it and repeated what he had just said to Ping An.
Jingan was a little worried: "Did he eat peanuts again?"
The few times Qinghe ate peanuts, she developed rashes and had difficulty speaking, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Xu Qinghe smiled and said no.
Princess Jing'an also realized that if she had eaten peanuts, she should be unable to speak now.
Because he was injured, Qi Sheng lay in the inner room leaning against the head of the bed.
It was not convenient for Xu Qinghe to go in, so he and Jing'an sat on the soft couch in the next room.
Xie Qi entered the inner room and spoke to Qi Sheng through the screen.
"How many days do you think His Majesty has left to live?"
Qi Sheng said: "Three months at most."
Xu Qinghe immediately looked at Jing'an.
Jing'an smiled and said, "I'm fine. He hasn't shown much affection towards me, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed my mother and I to be bullied like that when we were young. Besides, I wasn't the one who killed him."
"How long will it take you to defeat Nanyi?" Qi Sheng asked again.
Xie Qi said, "As long as there's no chaos in the court and no more imperial decrees are issued to me, one month will be enough. Before your death, the southern border will surely be at peace."
This was the first time Princess Jing'an saw the ignorant and dissolute Prince Wei say such arrogant words.
Xu Qinghe said coldly, "He's always like this, don't bother with him."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Xie Qi's gaze fell on him again.
She pretended not to notice and sipped the tea from her lips.
Qi Sheng is injured now, so he naturally doesn't need to hand over the military power.
It’s just that five years ago, Wei Yiqun had created too many holes in the three southern states. Although they have been almost filled in the past few years, Xie Qi still feels that it is not foolproof enough, especially in wartime.
"If the Prince Consort and the Princess are not in a hurry to return to the capital, they can take charge of Lanzhou for me. Qinghe should also return to Jizhou. The war will start in a few days, and the situation in the three states will inevitably become tense."
Qi Sheng arrived at the right time, so he didn't have to withdraw any more manpower from the army.
After all, they have endured for so many years, and there is no brother in the army who does not want to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. If someone is left behind to guard the house at that time, that person will be wronged to death.
Qi Sheng shook his head: "Let Jing'an return to Beijing, I am enough for Lanzhou."
"This is your and your husband's business, I have no right to interfere."
Xie Qi smiled and said, "As for those troublesome eunuchs from the palace, it would be best to send them back to the capital, or knock them out on the way and put an end to them once and for all."
Princess Jing'an was again surprised at the man's rude behavior.
Xu Qinghe was not surprised.
My father used to do things in the same way, only seeking to be quiet and efficient, not caring about whether it was beautiful or not.
After discussing some details, Xie Qi said goodbye to Xu Qinghe.
Under his long sleeves, Xie Qi pinched the girl's knuckles and began to rehash the past with her: "What have I done?"
Xu Qinghe ignored these trivial matters. She asked, "Do you really not need me to stay in Yingzhou to help you?"
When she raised her head, she could see his handsome profile through the veil.
"In Jizhou, having Nanzhi is enough."
Xie Qi took her hand and placed it in his palm.
"Have you forgotten what Nan Mingzhao did? He dared to take advantage of the Southern Territory being busy with the funeral of the prince and princess to kidnap you. If you hadn't been smart enough to escape, I would regret it to death. This time, I dare not let you stay in Lanzhou no matter what."
"I know, you're just afraid that my daughter and I will become a burden to you."
Xu Qinghe pulled his hand back and walked forward on his own.
Just in front of her, she met Ping An, who was smiling and looking for his parents. She picked Ping An up and the mother and daughter walked away together.
Ping'an hugged her mother's neck, glanced at her father who was frozen in place, and giggled.
At night, Xie Qi changed the medicine on his body and then walked towards the bed in the inner room.
There were two quilts placed on the large bed.
The girl curled up in her bed, pressing herself against the wall.
Xie Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, pulled the quilt beside the bed aside, and insisted on squeezing into her bed.
"I know you're not angry, so stop pretending, okay?"
He hugged the person from behind and said with a smile.
Xu Qinghe snorted coldly: "Stay away from me, how do you know I'm not angry?"
"The princess is sensible and knows that only in this way can I and the Southern Border Army have no worries."
He kissed her shoulder through her clothes.
"You won't get angry over something that's already right. We'll be parting ways in a few days, so why not give me a few smiles, please?"
“…”
He was right, and Xu Qinghe was not angry.
It's just that reality has to be like this, and I feel powerless.
Her eyes were still swollen, so she didn't want to turn around and just faced the bed frame.
After a moment, she asked softly, "Will you come back safely?"
"What do you mean come back? Are you talking about me or your daughter?"
Xie Qi deliberately misinterpreted the situation and pressed the issue further, saying, "Turn around and talk to me, and I'll tell you."
Xu Qinghe kicked back and kicked him hard.
Xie Qi deliberately screamed "Ah".
"I know you're not in pain, so stop pretending, okay?"
Xu Qinghe hit back at him with the words he had just used to coax her.
Xie Qi smiled and really stopped screaming.
The wound on his body still hurt when he lay on his side, so he had to lie down on his stomach.
"Why did you name your daughter this?"
Xu Qinghe said, "Can't you guess it? Why are you pretending?"
"Peace, wish peace, wish peace, peace..."
Xie Qi kept muttering to himself.
After listening for a moment, Xu Qinghe suddenly sneered: "Are you planning to change your daughter's name? To Xie Ping'an?"
"When did I say that? Don't blame me. You gave birth to the child alone. I didn't do anything, and I always hold you back. How dare I do that?"
Suddenly remembering something, Xie Qi couldn't help but smile and said, "Besides, I was the son-in-law of the royal family back then. Even if you and I have a child, the surname should be Xu."
Xu Qinghe snorted: "I'm glad to know."
After a moment of silence, Xu Qinghe spoke again: "I asked you a question just now, but you haven't replied yet."
Xie Qi refused to budge: "Turn around and I'll tell you."
Xu Qinghe gritted his teeth: "Then go turn off the lights."
"Ah? I'm still injured. I won't go."
Xie Qi lay on the bed, unwilling to move.
However, Xu Qinghe had already made a concession and didn't want to give in anymore, so the two of them remained in a stalemate.
In the end, Xie Qi finally gave in, turned off the lights obediently, and groped his way back to bed.
In the darkness, there was a rustling sound, and Xu Qinghe really turned around.
Now there was a waning moon hanging outside, and there was almost no moonlight, but fortunately there were many lanterns hanging in the corridor, and the candlelight could seep in a little bit through the heavy curtains.
So she could see clearly the hazy figure of Xie Qi lying obediently on the bed.
"explain."
She raised her foot and kicked him.
"If I don't come back safely, do I have to watch my daughter call someone else daddy? Watch you call someone else husband? I, Xie Qi, don't have this habit."
He groped for the girl's hand, and once he held it, he wouldn't let go.
"Things are different now. This time, I will definitely not let go. And don't worry, Xie Qi never fights an unprepared battle. This time, he will definitely come back unscathed."
Xu Qinghe pinched his fingertips hard.
"That's what you said when you took your daughter out to play. What happened?"
“…”
Xie Qi was silent for a while, then admitted: "It was indeed my fault that time. If I had been a step later, my daughter would have taken it seriously..."
Xu Qinghe stopped pinching him and instead scratched his calloused palms.
"My daughter doesn't blame you."
"What about you? Do you blame me?"
“…”
Xu Qinghe pursed her lips.
It's still strange to blame nature.
When Xu Qinghe first learned that her daughter was missing, she even wondered if this person was narrow-minded and first tricked her into believing that she had taken a sterilizing drug, and then deliberately had someone kill her daughter, thinking of coaxing her into having another child in the future.
If that was the case, she would really hate herself for hiding it from his daughter.
But later, he would rather seriously injure himself than bring his daughter back safely.
Even then, he thought it was her daughter with another man.
As soon as she fell silent, Xie Qi knew what she was thinking.
He pulled her hard, endured the pain in his body, and followed the sound of her breathing to find her cheek.
Took a big bite.
I have to wear a veil hat tomorrow anyway, so it doesn’t matter if there are some teeth marks.
"Xie Qi, are you a dog?"
Xu Qinghe reached out and hit him.
Xie Qi deliberately screamed: "Hiss, hiss, it hit the wound, it hurts!"
In fact, it was not hit at all.
Considering that he would be going to the battlefield in a few days and worried that he would be injured, Xu Qinghe was too lazy to argue with him and really didn't do anything.
She turned over and lay on her back in bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
"Jing'an and the others will be leaving in three days. Ping'an and I will go with them to get to know Lanzhou first."
Xie Qi was silent for a moment. As they were about to part, he still felt a little melancholy.
"Five days later, I'll accompany you and your daughter. Isn't there Lin Xiao in Lanzhou? Just leave it to her."
He and Xu Qinghe were always walking too fast.
When you count carefully, there are almost no days of living a carefree life. Every time we meet, we are either burdened with national hatred and family feuds, or trapped by the love between young people, and there are always misunderstandings.
"I really regret pushing you away five years ago. Otherwise, I could have spent more time with our daughter and you. Swords and guns are merciless on the battlefield. If there really was a... it would be such a pity."
Xu Qinghe twisted his waist hard.
"I knew you were just bragging. Get out of here."
Xie Qi smiled and wrapped his big palm around hers, coaxing her softly, "I'm not exaggerating, really. I'm just saying this to get you to pity me and leave later, right?"
"I'm not lying to you. I promise I'll definitely come back safely. Then... wait until the Southern Border Army returns victorious, and then we'll get married, okay? We have to do it before the old emperor passes away, otherwise we'll have to wait another three months."
Xu Qinghe didn't want to coax him with empty words.
"We'll talk about marriage when you come back."
