War broke out again in southern Xinjiang, and the people couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Because of the previous chaotic times, people always feel a little uneasy when the words Southern Xinjiang or Nanzhao are mentioned.
Jiang Ling and Cheng An were also uneasy.
It was the first time she sent someone out of the capital to fight. Although Zhou Jing'an said that nothing would happen, she still couldn't help but worry.
The longer Jiang Ling lives here, the more she craves the warmth of family, friendship, and love.
Jiang Lianshan gave her the feeling of a very warm father figure, who would pamper her and love her, and show her a kind fatherly appearance that was different from the outside world.
There are many variables on the battlefield and swords are ruthless. She is really worried.
Seeing that she was depressed every day, Zhou Jing'an felt sorry for her health, so he asked Zhou Huan'an to spend more time with her.
Zhou Huan'an has never had much experience in comforting people, but she did have an idea. Cheng An was also worried every day, so she might as well gather these golden flowers together. With more people, it would be lively and they would not dwell on those sad things anymore.
In the end, everyone was there, but the most lively Jiang Ling said very little, and the lovely Cheng An also lowered his head and looked unhappy. The atmosphere was not lively for a while, and the others looked at each other and sighed.
Jiang Fei came close to Jiang Ling and comforted her: "You are getting further along in the pregnancy. If you are worried and uneasy, the child will suffer as well."
"Yes, how can your child grow up well if you don't have any appetite?" Wu Wanying also advised, handing her the cakes she liked to eat and coaxing her to eat a few bites.
Jiang Ling hasn't eaten much in recent days, which made Zhou Jing'an anxious, and they became anxious too.
She sighed and laughed, took the pastry and took a bite, "I'm not skipping meals, I'm just a little worried. You don't have to worry too much."
Su Wantang sat on Cheng An's left. Seeing that she had just tried to persuade Jiang Ling, she herself looked listless. She patted her shoulder and said softly, "You're the same. You've been sulking all day. You've become much thinner."
Wu Wanying watched Jiang Ling eat the cake, then turned to Cheng An and said, "If you continue like this, you'll get sick, not to mention what will happen when Qi Tianyang comes back."
"I..." Cheng An pursed his lips, looked up at them, then lowered his head again, with a silk handkerchief wrapped around his fingertips.
She whispered, "I'm a little scared. Whenever I close my eyes, I think of him getting injured on the battlefield. Even though it's just fantasy, it's true..."
She didn't want to, but she couldn't help but wonder how he was doing, whether he was hurt, whether...
Zhou Huanan felt a headache when she saw the depressing atmosphere.
She really couldn't do such a comforting job.
Putting his hands on his hips, he said loudly, "Seeing that you guys are so unhappy, why don't we go out together? I'll pay for it, how about that?"
Seeing her frustrated look, Jiang Fei said with a smile, "Where are we going? Does Huanan know a good place?"
Zhou Huanan raised her eyebrows, her lips curled up. "Wasn't the hot spring at Qingchun Mountain delicious? It's been unused ever since the owner was arrested. I heard someone bought it again."
"Qingchun Mountain?" Su Wantang shook her head slightly. "It's freezing cold today, and Ling'er is pregnant. How can we climb the mountain?"
"Listen to me." Zhou Huanan blinked. "The boss bought the restaurant, but he didn't rush to open it. I heard yesterday that he opened a similar hot spring restaurant in the south of Beijing, modeled after the one in Qingchun Mountain, also offering hot springs and meals."
She clapped her hands and raised her chin: "How is it?"
The weather is so cold, it would be so comfortable to take a bath in a hot spring and have a delicious meal!
Several people laughed at her excited look. Jiang Ling raised the corners of her mouth and became interested, so she asked for their opinions.
Cheng An didn't want them to worry about her anymore, so she agreed. They left as soon as they said they would. If they went now and soaked in the hot spring for an hour, it would be time for lunch.
Zhou Jing'an returned home at noon. When he heard that several people had gone to Tangquan together, he smiled slowly.
"It's good to go out and relax."
Otherwise, he wouldn't know what to do if he stayed like this all day.
He turned around and reminded Ye Song, "Have someone keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get bumped or bruised."
At this time, Ye Bai walked into Xibaoxuan from outside, bowed his head and clasped his fists, "Sir, I have a letter by carrier pigeon."
Zhou Jing'an's expression gradually became calm. He raised his hand to take it, unfolded the note and read it quickly, his eyes slightly fixed.
Ye Bai asked tentatively, "But something happened in Southern Xinjiang?"
Ye Song, who was standing by, also became worried.
Zhou Jing'an was silent, turned around and walked out, "Prepare the horses, and go to the Purple Palace."
When he finally finished his work and returned home, it was already evening.
He hurried over and finally had dinner with Jiang Ling. While he was helping her with food and adding soup, he encouraged her to talk more and asked her how her day was.
Jiang Ling's mood was indeed much better after this trip out. She was in high spirits talking to him about interesting things and even ate half a bowl of dinner more.
Zhou Jing'an coaxed her carefully and felt happy too.
"You haven't had much appetite lately. Do you want to see Doctor He?"
Jiang Ling shook her head, "I'm fine."
Speaking of this, it’s been a long time since I last saw Dr. He.
"I'll go to the courtyard tomorrow to see him. Winter is coming, so I'll see if he needs some more clothes or something."
Zhou Jing'an nodded, soaked her feet before bed, and read half a storybook to her in a relaxed tone, which made Jiang Ling's eyebrows curved.
After a busy day and a good dinner, Jiang Ling fell asleep quickly.
Looking at her peaceful face, Zhou Jing'an chuckled, kissed her forehead, and fell asleep next to her.
