Chapter 510 Lin Bao, You Are Dad's Little Lucky Star
However, this time, Xie Xun miscalculated.
Qin Rushuang was angrier than he imagined.
To be precise, he couldn't tell whether Qin Rushuang was shy and annoyed, or whether she was really angry. In short, she didn't talk to Xie Xun again from the next morning.
No matter whether he came over to help take care of Linbao, or whether he tried his best to talk to Qin Rushuang, Qin Rushuang always looked at him coldly, did not answer his words, and only nodded or said "Oh" when he was annoyed by questions.
No matter how you look at it, you feel like you are perfunctory with him.
Now Xie Xun was even more panicked, and he didn't dare to pester Qin Rushuang all the time, for fear of making her even more angry.
Therefore, such an interesting scene appeared in the palace.
Qin Rushuang and Linbao were playing happily in front, while King Huai, who was among the most powerful among them, followed eagerly behind, not even daring to let out a fart.
In this way, Qin Rushuang still ignored Xie Xun, which frightened the palace servants who were secretly watching from the side and made them move more cautiously, for fear of accidentally touching Xie Xun's brow.
However, the palace people are overthinking it. Xie Xun is now focused on Qin Rushuang and her children, so how can he think about punishing them?
Xie Xunpidian followed the two of them all morning. In the afternoon, it was time for Linbao to practice walking, so Qin Rushuang took Linbao to the Imperial Garden.
She didn't help him, and just watched Linbao walking slowly back and forth on the soft grass alone.
Xie Xun, on the other hand, stood far behind them, looking quite pitiful.
Qin Rushuang could always feel a gaze staring at her. Of course she knew that the probing and cautious gaze came from Xie Xun, but she was too lazy to pay attention to that person.
She had never noticed before that Xie Xun could be such a rogue. No matter how she put on a face or gave her a cold look, Xie Xun seemed determined to follow them.
In fact, she also felt that she was too angry this time, but she couldn't keep her face down and took the initiative to reconcile with Xie Xun, so she simply pretended not to see Xie Xun's cautious gaze.
At this moment, there was a gentle breeze in the imperial garden. She looked at the toddler Linbao and dismissed all the chaotic thoughts.
Linbao walked on the grass for a while, then turned around and walked towards Xie Xun tremblingly.
Xie Xun was staring at Qin Rushuang when he suddenly felt a warm touch on his calf.
Looking down, Linbao was hugging his calf, raised his face and sweetly called daddy.
Linbao looked straight at his father, as if there were doubts in his little head, why was his mother standing with him while his father was standing so far away?
Then, he stretched out his fat little hand and called out twice, as if he wanted Xie Xun to hold him.
Xie Xun also understood, and held Linbao's small hand with his big hand. The next second, he felt that Linbao seemed to be pulling him forward.
He did not dare to use force and could only follow Linbao cautiously.
And Linbao slowly dragged Xie Xun to Qin Rushuang.
Linbao stood between the two of them, looked left and right, called daddy and mother again, and then tilted his head to look at the two of them.
Xie Xun was secretly happy in his heart and said to him, Linbao, dad really didn't love you in vain. It was dad's fault last night, how can I blame you? You are not dad's nemesis, you are obviously his little lucky star!
Thinking like this, he picked up Linbao, looked at Qin Rushuang, and begged for mercy in a low voice: "Look, Linbao has forgiven me, can you forgive me too? It was me, Meng Lang, last night."
With the help of Linbao, a little peacemaker, Qin Rushuang couldn't stay angry anymore. She touched her nose and said to Xie Xun, "I'm angry that you didn't let me hug Linbao when you heard him cry. Forget it, you hug him."
Leave him alone and go get some snacks, he's dead now."
Hearing what Qin Rushuang said, Xie Xun breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Qin Rushuang had given in, and put on a big smile on his face.
"Okay! Linbao hugged daddy's neck, let's go have snacks!"
With that said, he started to run with Linbao in his arms.
Linbao felt the bumps underneath him and the wind blowing by his ears. He felt it was novel and exciting and couldn't help but giggle.
Qin Rushuang shook her head and followed the two of them back to the palace together.
The family of three ate the snacks brought by the palace servants and chatted from time to time, looking quite harmonious.
And Xie Xun worked hard to make Qin Rushuang happy. While taking care of Linbao, he pushed Qin Rushuang's favorite snacks in front of her.
After finishing a few snacks, the eunuch's voice came from outside the palace to report: "Prince and concubine. The battle report from the east has arrived. General Qin Rufeng has received your Majesty's order and is preparing to move his troops back to the court."
Xie Xun nodded, took the battle report, and did not shy away from Qin Rushuang, and read it with Qin Rushuang.
The letter said that Qin Rufeng had driven back all the Japanese soldiers and horses, and there was an unexpected surprise this time.
Qin Rufeng captured a Japanese prince alive. This time when his troops returned to the court, they were able to escort the prince back together.
Both of them were overjoyed when they saw the news.
The prince of the Japanese country must know about the collusion between Xiaoshan and the Japanese country. With the person in their hands, are they afraid that they will not be able to find out the information?
This time, Xiao Shan and the forces behind him will definitely be brought down in one fell swoop.
With this battle report, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
In the next few days, Xie Xun coaxed Qin Rushuang and Linbao while handling political affairs, while Qin Rushuang waited for Qin Rufeng to return to the court.
Seven days later, Qin Rufeng returned to Daqi with his victorious army and the captured Japanese prince.
The first thing he did after coming back was to go to the palace to pay homage to the two of them.
Qin Rushuang looked at Qin Rufeng in front of her and felt very emotional in her heart.
Her younger brother, at first, wanted to study and become a civil servant, but then accidentally joined the army, and now he has become a general who can lead troops in war.
Qin Rufeng is completely different now than before. He is dusty and has a murderous spirit. The firm look on his brows makes him look more mature and steady.
After reporting the military situation to Xie Xun, Xie Xun wisely carried Linbao out and left the rest of the time to the two siblings.
Qin Rushuang gently patted Qin Rufeng's shoulder and realized that her younger brother was already half a head taller than her and was a man who could stand alone.
"Thank you for your hard work. I hope you come back safely."
Qin Rufeng shook his head and said to Qin Rushuang, "It's not hard. After I led the troops to fight, I realized how difficult it was for my father, the prince and you on the battlefield. I was too willful before.
Be sensible, I will definitely defend the country and protect you and Linbao, my sister."
The two siblings reminisced about old times, and Qin Rushuang asked Qin Rufeng to go back and rest, preparing to interrogate the captured Japanese prince together the next day.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Qin Rufeng entered the palace.
The three of them went to the prison where the Japanese prince was imprisoned.
I thought I was going to spend a lot of money this time, but to everyone's surprise, after the Japanese prince heard that as long as he could reveal who they had colluded with the court, he would be given a lighter sentence, the Japanese prince actually took it out of his arms in front of everyone.
Several letters were published, which was evidence of collusion between Xiaoshan and the Japanese state!
It turned out that the Japanese prince thought that after he was captured, he would be left in Daqi and tortured in all kinds of ways. He did not expect that Xie Xun was so easy to talk to.
The reason why he brought these letters was just to gain some bargaining chips. Unexpectedly, after Xie Xun got these letters, he actually stated that the terms of the peace talks were proceeding normally and that he would not be left in Daqi as a hostage.
He was very grateful.
After everything was discussed, Qin Rufeng went to deal with military affairs, while Xie Xun took the letters and returned to the imperial study with Qin Rushuang.
"I thought the prince would also leave this man in Daqi as a hostage."
Xie Xun shook his head and said with a smile: "Japan is just a small country, and it is separated from us by the sea. What's the use of keeping it as a hostage? I'm not afraid of that small country. This time it was just due to negligence and Xiaoshan's interference.
Give them a chance to attack Da Qi."
Xie Xun said, putting the letter away and preparing it as evidence for Xiao Shan's conviction.
Then he smiled and said to Qin Rushuang, "Besides, as long as the country is strong, it will not be afraid of foreign enemies. Only a weak country will do these tricks. There is no benefit at all in leaving a proton in Daqi. Have you forgotten what happened to Da Wanlie?
?”
Xie Xun said half-jokingly: "I don't want another woman to come out and say she is pregnant with my child."
Qin Rushuang thought about it too.
Keeping the protons in the country is just to look good, not only to provide them with good food and drink, but if the time comes when the two countries are at war with each other and the national affairs are current, how can they be merciful just because of a proton? Should we fight or fight?
There will still be a fight.
"Then when will the prince plan to interrogate the fourth prince and Xiao Shan's collusion with foreign enemies?"
Xie Xun thought for a while and set a date: "Just three days from now."
In the past few days, there have been many pleas for Xiao Shan, and the words are very sincere, as if he has framed Zhongliang and acted treason just by asking Xiao Shan.
By then it will be time to catch all these little ones in one go!
