Chapter 495 Extra 14 Whose girl? The tacit understanding of twins

When the young girl speaks, the ending of her voice is soft and sticky, even malt sugar is not as sweet as hers.

Zhao Yuanheng didn't wait for her and walked forward quickly.

"Mother."

Ji Qingwu smiled and nodded, then covered her lips and asked quietly: "Is the girl going to call me mother too?"

Seeing her teasing expression, Zhao Yuanheng said helplessly: "Mother, let's go in and talk."

In the house.

Empress Chen Zhao has not arrived yet.

There was a large square table covered with indigo coarse cloth, and steam was rising from the celadon tea bowls.

A few rays of setting sun leaked in through the carved wooden window, and happened to be reflected on the frosting of the osmanthus cake.

The ceramic pot next to Ji Qingwu was still emitting the aroma of medicine. She and Zhao Mingyan sat in the main seat facing the door.

Xiu Ningchuan was sitting on the left, and Zhao Yuanheng was sitting on the right. The girl wanted to sit next to him, but he stopped her with his eyes.

The little girl could only sit on the opposite side feeling aggrieved.

Ji Qingwu said kindly: "Eat some snacks and drink some tea first. There is also a soup stewing for dinner, which will be ready soon."

The girl didn't dare to move, but turned her head to steal a glance at Prince Yu's expression on the right.

Only after Zhao Yuanheng nodded slightly did she dare to take action. She took a piece of sweet osmanthus cake and bit off a crescent-sized hole.

The girl's eyes widened in surprise and she started eating happily.

Her cheeks are puffy like a squirrel storing food, her lips are stained with sugar grains, and there are dimples on her cheeks. She looks like a blessed person.

Ji Qingwu did not ask who this girl was or what their relationship was. He just treated her as a friend brought back by Yuan Heng.

Xiu Ningchuan was slightly absent-minded because Empress Chen Zhao had not shown up yet.

After Zhao Mingyan came in from Prince Yu, he remained silent. Apart from the initial greetings, the father and son had no other words to say.

Zhao Mingyan suddenly said, "Come with me."

Under the square table, Ji Qingwu raised his hand and touched Zhao Mingyan's thigh. They had been married for a long time and knew what each other's actions meant.

Zhao Yuanheng stood up and followed him into the door of the west wing. He looked at his father's back as he stood with his hands behind his back.

"Father."

Zhao Mingyan asked in a deep voice: "Have you thought it through? This is not a joke. If you regret it in the future, it will be difficult."

Zhao Yuanheng's Adam's apple rolled, and he said, "Yes, I want to marry her as my princess."

There was a sound of a tray falling to the ground outside the door.

A smile appeared on Zhao Mingyan's lips, and his oppressive aura subsided. He turned around and opened the door.

Being caught eavesdropping, Ji Qingwu embarrassedly picked up the tray and plates on the ground.

"I'm just worried that you guys are thirsty from talking too much, so I'm bringing you some fruit to moisten your throats. Haha, this tray is too slippery."

Zhao Mingyan made way and said, "Come in."

Ji Qingwu immediately threw the tray on the windowsill.

After entering the door, she pulled Prince Yu to sit on a chair at the side and asked anxiously: "Yuan Heng, who is this girl from? Do her parents agree?"

Zhao Yuanheng looked at her and replied, "It's from the Hu family, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army."

Hu family?

Ji Qingwu blinked and slowly confirmed: "Is it the Hu family with three brothers?"

Seeing Prince Yu nod, her joy suddenly turned into sorrow.

"This girl has three unreasonable fathers. Son, can you bear it?"

Ji Qingwu thought about how he and the girl had just interacted, and it didn't seem like they had a sweet relationship at all.

She frowned and said, "Yuan Heng, if you have any difficulties, tell mother."

Zhao Yuanheng said in a gentle voice: "Mother, no one can force me to marry Hu Yiyi. I am willing to do so."

It turns out that the girl from the Hu family was called Hu Yiyi, and she was born by Ji Qingwu himself in the Northern Border Army.

Zhao Mingyan said, "Since you already know the seriousness of the matter, your mother and I will not stop you."

Zhao Yuanheng breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully, "Thank you, father and mother. I want to get married in three months, so I brought her here for you to see."

Ji Qingwu raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "Getting married so soon?"

Zhao Yuanheng nodded.

Ji Qingwu asked again: "Yuan Heng, have you been to the Hu family? Have you met her three fathers?"

Zhao Yuanheng shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Ji Qingwu's heart, which had just calmed down, was lifted up again.

The people in the Hu family are not easy to get along with. The Hu family has such a little girl, so they must treat her like the apple of their eye.

After Prince Yu left the west wing, Ji Qingwu also hurried back to the room.

She sat for a while and started to pack up. Zhao Mingyan pushed the door open, looked at the bundle on the table, and said, "Awu, this is Yuanheng's own business. He can handle it."

Ji Qingwu had already thought of a reason and said, "I just want Baocheng to succeed."

Thinking of Princess Baocheng, Zhao Mingyan's eyes softened a lot. He thought for a while and said, "You and I can stay for a few days."

Ji Qingwu put down the clothes in his hand and said, "That won't work. Your medicinal bath will take another 27 days and 14 days to complete. You have already soaked for 35 days. You can't give up halfway."

Zhao Mingyan frowned deeply: "Just can't——"

Ji Qingwu said seriously: "Don't stop for even a day."

Empress Chen Zhao arrived in the moonlight. It was already past dinner time and everyone had gone back to their rooms to rest.

A person was standing on the bluestone steps near the wooden door.

“You’re here.”

They both spoke at the same time, and then smiled at each other.

Empress Chen Zhao said, "Brother Royal has been practicing martial arts recently. He looks stronger now."

Zhao Yuanheng smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, are you troubled by the Northwest issue?"

Empress Chen Zhao curled her lips, she was guessed right by him.

She could have come at noon, but was delayed because of the urgent matter in the northwest. She stayed in the Qinzheng Hall until dark before she was free to come out.

The empress pushed open the half-closed wooden door, stepped onto the steps, and walked to his side. She said with a sigh, "My royal brother, calling me Your Majesty is really alienating me."

Zhao Yuanheng readily said, "Zhao Zhao."

Empress Chen Zhao narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and said, "It's been a long time since I heard someone call me like that."

The night wind was chilly, and Zhao Yuanheng's voice also grew colder.

"Although the Eighteen Continents of the Northwest are under my jurisdiction, the assassins planted by Xijin have not been completely eliminated. King Xijin seems to have surrendered, but he is making small moves behind the scenes."

"I know." Empress Chen Zhao said, "I know why you went to the northwest."

Prince Yu seemed to be going to the northwest to live a carefree life as a leisurely prince, but in fact he was going to help her stabilize the Eighteen Continents.

With his presence, King Xijin was intimidated and dared not act rashly.

Zhao Yuanheng said sternly: "Zhao Zhao, King Xijin cannot stay. Do you really have feelings for him?"

The end of his words disappeared in the mountain wind, but blew into the ears of a man hiding behind the bamboo forest. He clenched the cloak in his hand.

Empress Chen Zhao changed the subject and talked about other things.

"I heard that my brother brought the little girl from the Hu family back."

Zhao Yuanheng paused and said, "The Hu family had dealings with Xijin's spies before, and now they have a large number of troops under their command, making them the best choice to lure the enemy."

Empress Chen Zhao asked, "So, this is why you want to marry the girl from the Hu family?"

The two looked at each other and saw each other's heart in their eyes.

This is probably the tacit understanding between twins.
