Just now, when Murong Xi was talking to Chu Xia, he was joking and laughing, and he seemed very calm. He didn't seem excited at all, so Chu Xia felt at ease to speak up.
However, after saying that, Chu Xia was still very worried.
Because she knew very well what Jing Zhe meant to Murong Xi now, and what he meant to her slightly protruding belly.
As expected, after she finished speaking, Murong Xi, who had been laughing and joking just moments before, suddenly fell silent.
Murong Xi's breathing became somewhat heavy, which Chu Xia, who was outside the carriage, could feel. She asked with some concern, "Empress?"
At this moment, Murong Xi lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. Jing Zhe was walking towards her, looking at her as well.
Their eyes met, and Murong Xi's eyes instantly welled up with tears. Ignoring Chu Xia's objections, she jumped out of the car and ran towards Jing Zhe.
After Liu Jinghong appeared, she was pulled away by Lu Li and Pei Yunxi, and with Su Mochen also joining them, the four women started chattering away. It is said that three women make a drama, but these four women together are much more exciting than a drama.
So Jing Zhe couldn't get a word in edgewise—mainly because it was daytime and there were so many outsiders around, it was normal that Jing Zhe couldn't get a word in edgewise, but who knows what will happen in the future…
So he turned his attention to the carriage that Chu Xia was guarding in the middle of Yue Yao's army.
From the moment he appeared, Chu Xia stared in his direction, then occasionally turned her head to talk to someone inside the carriage. Her gaze toward Jing Zhe was somewhat complicated, seemingly carrying some... concerns.
Jing Zhe was somewhat confused, but he knew that Murong Xi must be in the carriage. After all, in the entire Yueyao Kingdom, only Murong Xi was worthy of his personal protection, so he walked over.
After more than three months apart, Jing Zhe was still very excited to see Murong Xi again. His thoughts were instantly pulled back to when the two first met more than three months ago, from acquaintance to understanding, from understanding to love, from love to separation, and now to their reunion. The emotions he felt were simply indescribable.
So when Murong Xi ran towards him, Jing Zhe also strode towards her.
...
The two were not far apart. Although Murong Xi started running first, her pace was not fast, and she was particularly careful when running, as if she was afraid of falling, so she ran rather slowly.
So even though Jing Zhe ran behind, he quickly arrived at Murong Xi's side and hugged her tightly.
"Xi'er's wife..."
Jing Zhe called out gently, then reached out and softly stroked Murong Xi's long black hair.
"My lord..."
In fact, as she ran towards Jing Zhe, Murong Xi was already struggling with how to address him after meeting him, and how to act a little more reserved...
However, Jing Zhe's open arms and the words "Xi'er, my wife" completely dispelled her concerns. She went straight into Jing Zhe's arms and called out the name she had been practicing for months.
Although she and Jing Zhe had already consummated their marriage and even had children... their time together was still too short, and they had been separated for more than three months. During the days away from Jing Zhe, Murong Xi inevitably felt anxious and lost, and she would think about many things.
Was he just putting on an act back then?
After being apart for so long, will he forget me?
If they meet again, will he still like her as much?
Women in love are often suspicious, and even the noble Queen Murong Xi has moments of insecurity, which is why she is constantly struggling with her feelings.
But when she actually saw Jing Zhe, rushed into his arms, and was held tightly in his embrace, all her previous problems were solved.
It turns out he's still the same person; I was just overthinking things.
That's enough. At least it shows that she didn't entrust herself to the wrong person.
Murong Xi rested her little head on Jing Zhe's shoulder, gently rubbing it, looking especially adorable.
"Let go, let go!"
Just as the two were embracing each other, an untimely shout suddenly rang out beside them.
Without even looking up, Jing Zhe could tell who the voice belonged to. Who else could it be but the Holy Maiden Chu Xia of Yueyao?
"Let go quickly!"
Seeing that Jing Zhe ignored her words, Chu Xia spoke up again in dissatisfaction, and even started to take action, grabbing Jing Zhe's hand and pulling him away, forcibly separating him from Murong Xi.
"..."
Jing Zhe was speechless. Was this woman crazy?
"How many times have I told you not to get agitated? Why are you still so disobedient?"
Chu Xia was still there scolding Murong Xi.
Murong Xi wasn't angry. Instead, she stood there obediently like a schoolchild who had made a mistake, with a gentle smile.
But Jing Zhe objected, saying discontentedly, "Hey Chu Xia, aren't you being a bit too nosy? Do you have a crush on me? Are you jealous because I hugged your queen? If you have a crush on me, you should have just said so! Don't worry, I'm a very loving person. Although I don't like your type, giving you a free hug is no problem!"
As he spoke, Jing Zhe opened his arms and grinned, saying, "Come and let me hug you!"
He looks just like a weird uncle!
Chu Xia had never experienced anything like this before. She was stunned on the spot, and then her face turned as red as a ripe apple in autumn. She pointed at Jing Zhe, stammering and unable to say a word.
After a long pause, she finally managed to utter a few words: "You...you...you're talking nonsense!"
If it weren't for his status as the Empress, Chu Xia would have loved to draw her sword with her trembling hands and fight him to the death!
However, Jing Zhe wasn't about to let her off so easily, and continued to tease her, "What, did I say something wrong? No way? Or did I guess what you were thinking and you're shy?"
"..."
Although Chu Xia was a saintess and knew martial arts, she had never encountered such a lewd person as Jing Zhe in her daily life. In Chu Xia's eyes, Jing Zhe was lewd for daring to flirt with a girl like that!
So Chu Xia stopped talking, because she didn't know what to say.
Jing Zhe, on the other hand, was smug and pressed his advantage, while also giving her a warning: "Chu Xia, although Xi'er has decided to give you the position of Empress, you must remember that this position was given to you by her!"
"And what have you done? Not only do you not appreciate Xi'er's kindness, but you're not even empress yet, and you're already acting like one! Now you're even interfering with what Xi'er does. Isn't that a bit like a dog catching a mouse—meddling in other people's business? Young man, I advise you to think twice!"
"..."
This time, Chu Xia was really angry!
If Jing Zhe's teasing was just a way to vent his frustration, she would have tolerated it. After all, teasing her wasn't a big deal—according to the rules of Yueyao Kingdom, she would have to serve Jing Zhe in bed from now on!
