After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

Chapter 397 Good news.

When Zhao Ying arrived at Pei Chen's residence, he was not there.

Zhao Ying was presumably discussing follow-up matters with the generals, and he was not in a hurry. Pei Chen's temporary residence was a large courtyard, which was more desolate than his residence in the capital.

There is almost no green and it looks bare.

There is only snow all over the yard.

Zhao Ying ordered his servants, "I'm exhausted after a long day of traveling. Please bring me some water so I can take a bath."

The servants naturally had no objection and went to make arrangements.

Pei Chen was indeed busy, but he soon learned of Wei Chan's arrival, and Wei Chan was also attending the meeting.

It was already evening when it was over.

Wei Chan and Wei Er stayed for a while. After they finished talking, Wei Chan was about to leave, but she saw that Pei Chen had no intention of leaving at all, and even had to deal with military affairs.

Wei Chan paused, "Coach, did you and Yingying have a fight?"

In the past, when he was in the northern border, the commander would squeeze out time to see Zhao Ying after discussing important matters every day, even if it was just a glance, even if it was just holding hands or a light kiss.

But she also felt that Pei Chen's condition at the moment did not seem like he was quarreling, at least she did not see any emotional fluctuations.

Pei Chen looked up in confusion, "What?"

Thinking that Wei Chan came from the Northern Territory, he hurriedly stood up and immediately asked, "Master Wei, you and Yingying are good friends, but what did she say to you? Is she angry with me?"

That doesn't seem like it. In the letter he just received today, Yingying was still expressing her longing for him between the lines.

Oh yes, Yingying also said that she had given him a surprise today.

Thinking of this, Pei Chen reached out to Wei Chan and asked, "What did Yingying ask you to bring me?"

It's time to take it out.

Wei Chan: “…”

"Yingying didn't ask me to bring anything to you." She was a little confused now.

"Impossible!" Pei Chen said firmly, "Yingying said in the letter that she has something for me today."

Wei Chan said: "Since this is something Yingying wants to give you, go ask Yingying, why are you kissing me?"

"I'm on the front line, how can I ask..." Pei Chen said this, as if he suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned and left.

He left the Wei brothers and sisters behind and hurried towards his residence.

At this moment, there are only two words in my mind: Yingying, Yingying...

From a distance, Pei Chen saw that his house was lit. He felt a little homesick for a moment. His legs felt as if they were filled with lead, his palms were sweaty, and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Could it be... Yingying?

Pei Chen's Adam's apple rolled, but he finally took a slow step and walked towards his house.

He had sharp hearing and clearly heard the sound of water coming from the house. Thinking of what Zhao Ying had said to him a few days ago, Pei Chen had an idea.

After a long time, Pei Chen finally slowly opened the door.

All you see is red.

There wasn't much red, but it was particularly eye-catching. A pair of dragon and phoenix candles were burning in the room, and the bathtub from which the sound of water came was placed behind a screen in the room.

At this moment, a beautiful figure can be seen in the shadows.

"Pei Chen."

Zhao Ying's natural voice sounded, "You haven't forgotten what you promised me last time, right?"

The door opened and then closed again. Pei Chen walked step by step to the screen, but did not dare to take another step.

"Yingying, I..."

"Are you scared?" Zhao Ying stood up suddenly, and Pei Chen met her eyes through the low screen.

Even his eyesight was so good that he could...

He turned around abruptly, but the scene just now kept lingering in his mind, and the air in the room became hot and unbearable.

There was a moment of silence behind him.

Zhao Ying was really a little frustrated and helpless.

She is a woman and has done so much, but Pei Chen is still such a gentleman. What does it mean?

It's as if she...really wants it.

"Yingying." Pei Chen's voice sounded quickly. His whole body was tense, like a taut bowstring that would explode at the slightest touch.

His voice was hoarse. "Have you really thought it through?"

It’s not that he doesn’t want it. On the contrary, he wants it too much. He wants to be with Yingying forever and cherish Yingying too much.

That's why I am so nervous and cherish it so much.

Even at this moment, he felt a sense of panic and fear for no reason.

He had never known what fear was before. He had always been invincible and had never thought of being afraid or retreating, but now it was different.

On the battlefield, swords and guns are brutal and no one can guarantee infallibility.

If something happened to him... He didn't marry Yingying now. If he didn't take this last step, Yingying could find another good man in the future.

but……

"Pei Chen."

Zhao Ying's clear voice rang out, "You don't love me anymore? If you don't love me anymore, then we..."

Before Zhao Ying finished speaking, Pei Chen turned around abruptly and said, "Yingying, don't talk nonsense. You are the only love of my life."

Now, the beautiful scenery was in full view in his eyes.

Pei Chen's whole body froze, flames rising in his eyes, burning fiercely, and in the blink of an eye, he was almost burned to ashes.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of his Adam's apple rolling.

Is there anything that Zhao Ying can’t see?

Pei Chen didn't not love her, but he cherished her too much. However, the more this happened, the more determined Zhao Ying became.

She knew that with the war imminent, Pei Chen was under a lot of pressure.

So did she.

She is no longer young. Most women at her age would have children who are already helping with the housework.

She stretched out her hand to Pei Chen and said, "Hold me."

Pei Chen had no other thoughts at this moment. Like a wooden man, he quickly walked around behind the screen and reached out to hug Zhao Ying.

But Zhao Ying was faster and pulled him.

He pulled Pei Chen into the bathtub, but Zhao Ying came out first, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Wash yourself first."

Don't get close to her because she's sweating all over.

Pei Chen was not in a hurry.

He washed it thoroughly, even though the beast in his body was roaring wildly, but... Yingying loved cleanliness.

Normally, when they kissed or touched each other, he would clean himself up first, not to mention what was going on next...

Pei Chen scrubbed himself up and down three times, turning the hot water into cold water, and then stepped out of the bathtub.

He put on a red undergarment, the voluptuous color covered his honey-colored skin, and the silky silk was loosely tied, revealing his chest and abdominal muscles.

The water droplets on the ends of his hair rolled down his neck, slid into his chest, and sank into an unspeakable direction.

Zhao Ying sat on the edge of the bed.

She was also wearing an undergarment of the same color. Although her skin had become rougher and less fair after coming to the North, it was still dazzling in Pei Chen's eyes.

He walked closer to her step by step and stretched out his hand to her, "Yingying..."

"Let's have a drink." Zhao Ying stood up and poured two glasses of wine, one for each of them. The two of them tacitly used the method of drinking from each other's cups.

The candlelight flickered, and the room was filled with spring.

There was no need to go out tomorrow, and the long night would give them plenty of time...

The next day.

Zhao Ying didn't wake up until noon.

She rubbed her aching waist, secretly cursing Pei Chen for not knowing the severity of the situation. Fortunately, she had been exercising for so long since she came to the Northern Territory, otherwise... she would have been even more overwhelmed.

She guessed that Pei Chen was powerful, but she didn't expect that the fire in the old house would be so scary!

Although Pei Chen is inexperienced, he is extremely talented.

Thinking of the scene last night, Zhao Ying felt her cheeks getting hot, but at the same time, sweetness welled up in her heart.

Perhaps it was because after letting go, the pressure was relieved. Although she was tired, Zhao Ying was in an exceptionally bright and cheerful mood.

Just then, footsteps were heard at the door.

Pei Chen walked in with a bright look on his face. When he saw Zhao Ying's appearance at the moment, his eyes dimmed slightly, and a fire flashed in his eyes, but he quickly restrained it.

Things were out of control last night, and he knew the limits.

He held a tray with hot breakfast on it and sat down on the bed. "Are you hungry? Eat something first."

Zhao Ying was shy for only a moment, and soon she became confident. What hasn't she, Zhao Ying, experienced?

This kind of thing...even though it's my first time, it's no big deal.

It was Pei Chen's first time too, so he wasn't embarrassed.

Zhao Ying reached out to take the breakfast, and Pei Chen's voice suddenly rang out again, "Does it still hurt?"

Zhao Ying's hand trembled and the noodles in her hand almost spilled.

Her face flushed slightly and she said, "It doesn't hurt."

Pei Chen breathed a sigh of relief. After Zhao Ying fell asleep from exhaustion, he gave her some medicine, which he thought should provide some relief.

Zhao Ying was really hungry. After quickly finishing her noodles, she got up to wash and clean up.

Pei Chen still knew his limits and didn't touch her neck, otherwise she would have been too embarrassed to see anyone today.

While Zhao Ying was doing this, Pei Chen was watching her from the side, holding his chin with one hand, the corners of his mouth raised, and his eyes full of smiles.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but glare at him, "What are you looking at?"

Pei Chen smiled even brighter upon seeing this, "Yingying, I feel like I'm... dreaming right now."

No, he didn't even dare to dream like this.

It’s… so beautiful.

Zhao Ying stood up quickly, walked over to Pei Chen and pinched him, "Does it still feel like a dream?"

Pei Chen didn't even frown, as if he didn't feel any pain at all. He reached out and held Zhao Ying in his arms.

His head was pressed against her, and his whole body looked like a big furry dog.

He just felt as if his whole body was filled with happiness, and his mind could no longer hold anything else.

Zhao Ying curled his lips, but said coldly, "Commander, you have a meeting with the generals this afternoon, and the time is almost up."

"Let's go."

Pei Chen: "..." He had never felt so bad before. He wished the war would end immediately so that he could go home to his wife and children.

But as soon as he left the house, Pei Chen's expression immediately changed, and he turned back into the serious and cold commander of the Zhenbei Army.

Although Zhao Ying found it a little funny, she knew the seriousness of the matter. When the two of them left the house, they became the commander-in-chief and his subordinates.

Zhao Ying fell half a step behind, looking at Pei Chen's back, the corners of her lips slightly raised.

Pei Chen, you are really good.

Whether it's emotional or physical.

She was satisfied.

Capital city, Fengyi Palace.

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji naturally received good news from the northern border. Pei Chen had led the Zhenbei Army to capture the first city.

At the same time, the northern border finally reacted. The news from the Xia Kingdom and the reasons for launching the war reached the northern border.

After reading the battle report, Xie Yao said, "It looks like this will be a protracted battle."

Xiao Ji nodded, "As expected."

This is foreseeable.

"But Pei Chen can do it well, believe him." Xiao Ji and Pei Chen were originally very good brothers, and now they are even more close as monarch and minister.

Xiao Ji fully believed in Pei Chen's ability.

Xie Yao nodded. She also believed in Pei Chen. What they had to do in the capital was to do a good job in logistics and develop Xia Kingdom.

Let them fight outside without worries.

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji are very busy, with many things to deal with every day, in addition to their relationship as husband and wife, and their relationship with their children...

Fortunately, the ministers in the court have calmed down a lot recently and no longer try to fill Xiao Ji's harem with people.

After Lu Qingyun successfully divorced, she refused to live in the Lu family anymore and lived alone outside.

In the blink of an eye, winter arrived.

Cheng Fengqi, Xuan Shu and Xuan Yue completed the disaster relief mission very successfully. Even though there were some minor frictions during the period, the three of them solved them perfectly.

When the three returned to the capital, it was drizzling.

The team just arrived at the gate of the capital and slowly stopped. Xuan Shu was a bit lively. She stuck her head out of the carriage and asked, "Why did you stop——"

Her words came to an abrupt end when she saw someone not far away.

"Sister, it's the Queen!" As Xuan Shu spoke, he had already gotten off the carriage neatly.

Xuan Yue also moved quickly and got off the carriage. Cheng Fengqi had already dismounted from his horse, and now the three of them were about to kneel down and salute.

"No need to be so polite." Xie Yao stepped forward, and the palace maid who was holding an umbrella for her behind her naturally followed suit.

Xie Yao supported the sisters Xuan Yue and Xuan Shu, one in each hand.

As for Cheng Fengqi, he was supported by Si Nan.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible." The three of them quickly expressed their opinions. Xie Yao said, "The ground is wet and it's cold in winter. You've been traveling all this time. If you get caught in the cold and your work is affected, I will not let you off."

Xie Yao explained that she was concerned about her health and could not rest due to illness. The three of them understood the Queen's good intentions and bowed deeply, feeling deeply moved.

"It's freezing cold, Your Majesty, you should take care of yourself. How could we trouble you to come to the city gate to pick us up..."

Xie Yao's concern is genuine, and Xuan Yue's concern at this moment is naturally sincere as well.

Xie Yao raised her lips, "You are all great contributors to my work. Why can't I come and pick you up?"

"Thank you for your hard work on this trip, my three beloved ministers." Xie Yao said, "Your Majesty and I have received the memorial. My three beloved ministers, you have done a great job!"

The three of them bowed simultaneously and said humbly, "This is our responsibility, and we dare not take credit for it."

Xie Yao was really happy.

Cheng Fengqi might not think it was a big deal, but for her, it was a big step.

The three of them followed Xie Yao into the city. Xie Yao then asked, "Did you encounter any danger on the way back to the capital?"

Xuan Yue said calmly, "To answer your Majesty, I encountered some, but they were all safe and sound."

A cold light flashed in Xie Yao's eyes.

Xuan Yue didn't need to say much, she could guess the identity of the person who took action. No wonder the court was so quiet recently.

I guess the attention has been diverted.

Xuanshu also said, "Thanks to your thoughtfulness, Your Majesty, you have arranged for people to protect me along the way. Otherwise, I am afraid I would not have survived to return to see you."

Xuanshu's last sentence was full of grievance, and her meaning was very clear.

She just wants to complain!
