In the past few days, because she kicked people too hard, she seemed to have exercised too much and her thigh tendons were a little strained. Whenever she wanted to use force, the muscle in her thigh that needed to exert force would hurt, which woke her up immediately.
This feeling is just like Ji Yunxi's feeling in modern times when she went to learn Taekwondo and followed her teacher to do a few front kicks, side kicks and then had difficulty even going down the stairs for the next few days.
In the darkness, Wu Weian couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could see that she seemed to be rubbing her thigh.
Wu Weian has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. When he was young, he could squat in horse stance for an hour. He understood what was wrong with her after a little thought.
Wu Weian sighed lightly. He felt that Ji Yunxi was good in every way, but the only thing that did not satisfy him was that his wife was too quiet.
For someone like him, unless he returned too late from the Imperial Academy, he would run in circles around the granary for an hour with a weight on his back before washing up. He would even drag Yuan Guanshi, Xue Zhu, and Du Niangzi along for the run. Physical strength was crucial for martial artists; diligent practice was essential, without slacking off.
As for the one who was washing clothes, they were from the Xuanji Sect and they were so weird that they could escape without any lightness skills, so Wu Weian didn't care about him.
As for this lady, let alone running, she hardly even takes a walk.
Wu Wei'an naturally stepped out of her bed, returned to the bedside, picked up his quilt, and covered himself with it while saying to her, "You should walk around more often so that your legs don't get sore after just a few kicks."
Ji Yunxi paused as she rubbed her thigh, trying to dissipate the accumulated lactic acid. She withdrew her hand and tucked the quilt in, "What do you care?"
Doesn’t she know that she should exercise more?
In modern times, she has lifetime memberships in gyms, yoga rooms, taekwondo halls, badminton halls, swimming pools, dance studios, golf clubs, tennis courts, etc.
But she is really busy, how can she have the time to go?
Now, her cloth shop is about to open, and there is more work to do. She comes back very late, so how can she have the time?
Wu Wei'an touched his nose and sighed softly: "I don't care. This is just my humble opinion."
Ji Yunxi sneered: "You might as well think about how to correct your habit of kicking the quilt."
Wu Wei'an was silent for a while, and finally said, "Go to sleep."
Ji Yunxi: "Yeah."

Prince Qingwen and the current emperor were both born to the late empress dowager.
The other princes were either dead or injured, but Prince Qingwen lived a comfortable life in his fiefdom.
The emperor turned a blind eye to this imperial brother. As long as the other party had no intention of taking his throne, the emperor would let this imperial brother do whatever he wanted.
After all, back then in the deep palace, the two brothers supported each other and had a deep relationship.
Prince Qingwen was not as smart as his royal brother since childhood, but he grew up in the harem and was not stupid. He knew how to save his life.
Therefore, he just lived a wealthy prince in his fiefdom, and always liked to make some ill-gotten gains by relying on his brother's power.
The Heichun bandit was backed by King Qingwen, and most of the silver and money that the Heichun bandits robbed went into his pocket.
King Qingwen and his concubines, wives, and children all had the habit of spending money like water.
Now that Heichun Mountain was destroyed, King Qingwen was heartbroken.
He immediately took advantage of his brother's birthday and rode to the capital city at full speed with his little daughter, just to cause trouble for the fifth prince!
After all, the fifth prince is inconspicuous among the other princes, and his mother is of low status, so it seems that he is not valued by his brother the emperor.
As the emperor's uncle, he went to teach his brother a lesson and disgust the fifth prince. As long as he didn't hurt anyone, his brother wouldn't blame him.
But when Prince Qingwen arrived in Shangjing and went to pay his respects to the emperor, the emperor asked him casually, "The Black Chun bandits are not far from your fiefdom. Have you heard of them?"
Prince Qingwen was shocked. He was the one who protected the Black Chun Bandits from behind. His brother must have known about this and had tacitly approved of it before. But now he brought it up like this—
He quickly replied, "In response to my Royal Brother, I do hear it occasionally..."
"Why didn't you tell me when I heard about it? If it weren't for the prince's actions to suppress the bandits, I wouldn't have known that the Black Chun bandits were so rampant!"
Prince Qingwen immediately understood what his brother meant.
This is to prevent him from attacking the fifth prince!
After Prince Qingwen returned from the palace, he was a little depressed and spent all day drinking in the music house, so he did not bother the fifth prince.
The adults of the prince's party gathered together and whispered.
"I never thought that Prince Qingwen, who is usually arrogant and impulsive, would actually endure this! I originally wanted to let the Fifth Prince and Prince Qingwen fight each other, and we would reap the benefits from the back. But in the end, I miscalculated."
"There's a reason why Prince Qingwen is still alive. He's not impulsive when it comes to big things. Speaking of which, His Majesty doesn't like the Crown Prince after all."
"Yes, over the years, the various princes have been restless and making friends with the powerful in the court and the country. Isn't this all tacitly approved by the emperor?"
"Well, let's get back to business. Prince Qingwen is standing by and watching, while the Fifth Prince and his followers have set their sights on us, eyeing us covetously. I've been so busy dealing with them lately that I almost fell into their trap. Fortunately, I reacted in time, otherwise, I'd be in jeopardy."
"I'm also here to protect the person in that unclear case in the Ministry of Justice. The Fifth Prince's men have been trying to silence him several times recently. Fortunately, Lord Xiao Wu came to our aid."
Wu Wei'an was sitting in the corner. Hearing this, he smiled faintly and said, "Master Jiang, you are too polite."
The lords looked at him and asked, "Master Xiao Wu, do you have any good ideas?"
All the adults here are quite old. The eldest has a grandson and a son. The youngest has three children at home.
Just considering Wu Weian's age, in the eyes of these adults, he is just a little kid.
But the adults didn't treat Wu Weian as a child.
In the past, they did have some age-related opinions, but the third girl completely changed their view.
When it comes to handling some things, the third girl's eyesight is so sharp and sophisticated that these old men have to admit defeat.
