In the evening, when it was almost midnight, Bai Yuxian came back from the military camp.
Ye Fuxun kept waiting for him and almost fell asleep.
"Why are you disobedient? How bad is it for your health to stay up late like this?" Bai Yuxian scolded her heartily. He sat down and held her in his arms, stroking the strands of hair on her temples with his slender fingers.
Ye Fuxun said unconvinced: "Don't you stay up late too?"
Bai Yuxian smiled, pinched her nose and said, "Why am I the same? I am a grown man, so what does it mean to stay up late?"
"But I like waiting for you like this."
Ye Fuxun leaned lazily on his arm, with a sweet smile on her face. Even though they had little time together recently, she did not feel lonely or bored, because her life had goals and hope, and she felt very happy.
As a wife, waiting for her husband to come home every day is her hope. Only when she sees him before going to bed can she feel that her day is complete.
So, how could she be willing to fall asleep before that? What's more, she still had something to ask today.
Ye Fuxun sat up from Bai Yuxian's warm arms and said seriously: "You must be very tired after a long day of work. How about I have someone prepare a bath for you, and then you can take a comfortable bath?"
"Okay," Bai Yuxian pulled Ye Fuxun back into his arms, rubbed her waist back and forth with his palms, and whispered softly: "But it would be better if the lady can take a bath with me."
Ye Fuxun's ears suddenly felt hot, and he quickly broke away from him and went out to call for someone.
Bai Yuxian came out after washing up. Ye Fuxun was still sitting at the table, holding a book and reading when he had nothing to do.
"It's time to go to bed!" Bai Yuxian appeared from behind, grabbed her book, threw it on the table, and planned to pick her up and go to sleep.
But Ye Fuxun turned around and said to him: "I'll go to bed later. I have something to ask you."
Bai Yuxian sat down and waited for her to ask. She only heard her say: "I heard a servant reporting today that the afternoon before yesterday, I heard you and Yun Chen quarreling in the study room, and the quarrel was very fierce. In the end, Yun Chen also
Is it true that you left with a bad look on your face?"
Bai Yuxian calmly and quickly turned his head and said with a smile: "Yes, it was indeed a quarrel."
"Why?" Ye Fuxun asked doubtfully, "You have never quarreled, why did you make such a fuss this time?"
Bai Yuxian was silent and poured a cup of tea. "We didn't quarrel before because Yun Chen rarely participated in politics. No matter what happened, he always followed his emotions and stood by my side.
But things are different now. He is the regent and is involved in many things. It is impossible for him to agree with my ideas every time. It is normal to have differences."
"What is the reason for the disagreement?" Ye Fuxun tried to understand the details, but when Bai Yuxian lowered his eyes, he seemed reluctant to mention it. "Can't you tell me?"
Bai Yuxian put down the tea cup, smiled again, and said slowly: "There is nothing I can't tell you, and it's just about the invasion of Dongchen by the Northern Qiang.
I said that General Liang Shuang was brave and good at fighting. He sent 150,000 troops plus the 80,000 soldiers stationed in Xinyuan City, which was enough to defeat the Daqiang army. However, Yunchen said that the Daqiang people were good at fighting in the north and should send ten more troops.
Ten thousand troops passed by.
Just because of this matter, we quarreled, and I insisted not to send troops, so he left in anger."
"Is it because of this?" Ye Fuxun was surprised at first, and then became suspicious. Although Bai Yuxian said it calmly and the reasons sounded sufficient, she always felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Yunchen knew that Bai Yuxian had rich combat experience and made more accurate military decisions than he did. Besides, he had always believed in his elder brother. How could he raise doubts and start a quarrel? This was not in line with Xiao Yunchen's temper.
!
Bai Yuxian felt a little guilty. In order to avoid being noticed by Ye Fuxun, he yawned and stood up and said, "Really, that's it. It's very late. Go to bed. Tomorrow, I have to get up early to train.
Woolen cloth."
"Did you really just argue about sending troops that day? Didn't you lie to me?" Ye Fuxun questioned Bai Yuxian's words.
"It's true. How could I lie to you? Go to sleep and don't think so much." Bai Yuxian lay lazily on the bed, closed his eyes, and didn't think so much. Bai Yuxian hugged Ye Fuxun.
Lying down.
Ye Fuxun knew that Bai Yuxian didn't want to tell him the truth, so no matter how much he asked, it would be fruitless, so he might as well ask another person tomorrow.
The next day, Bai Yuxian got up before dawn and went to the military camp as usual, while Ye Fuxun hurriedly finished his breakfast and went out to the Regent's Mansion to inquire.
Today happened to be a day off, so she estimated that Xiao Yunchen should be at the palace.
When Ye Fulun arrived at the palace, Xiao Yunchen was preparing to go out. Everyone walked to the door of the palace, and when they saw Ye Fulun arriving, they immediately greeted him with a smile. "Sister-in-law, why are you free to come to my place today? Come alone.
Yeah, isn’t eldest brother here?”
He acted as normal, as if nothing had happened. If Ye Fuxun hadn't heard the rumors from the servants with her own ears, she would have thought that the two brothers had never quarreled.
"Your eldest brother has to go to the school to train. How can he have time to accompany me everywhere?" Ye Fuxun smiled sweetly. "What, you are about to go out?"
Xiao Yunchen put away the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "I was going out originally, but it's not a big deal. Since my sister-in-law is here, I won't go."
"So, I messed up your plan, and I'm really sorry about it." Ye Fuxun always liked to joke with Xiao Yunchen, so they started talking about it during this meeting.
"No problem, no problem." Xiao Yunchen bowed and made a gesture of invitation, "Sister-in-law, please go inside quickly. How about I ask someone to bring out the best tea in the house to entertain you?"
Today the winter sun is warm and there is no wind. It is a good time to sit in the garden and drink tea while admiring the plum blossoms. Xiao Yunchen led Ye Fuxun to the pavilion in the garden and sat down.
Ye Fuxun did not intend to ask about what happened that day in the study room of Prince Chen's Mansion. Instead, he chatted with Xiao Yunchen for a long time, chatting about this and that, and the conversation was very enjoyable.
Even when talking about rising, Ye Fuxun also mentioned Yu Yunxuan.
"By the way, I heard that not long ago, you met my third sister on the street and staged a heroic rescue of the beauty, right?"
Xiao Yunchen's faint smile remained unchanged, his expression did not change, he only said lightly:
"That's right, I happened to pass by the busy city of Xicheng that day, and I happened to meet a beautiful woman who drew her sword to help her when there was an injustice on the road. I got out of the car and took a look, oh, isn't that the third princess, my sister-in-law's sister?
The third sister is the most beautiful woman in the Western Kingdom. When you saw her appearance for the first time, were you attracted to her?"
Xiao Yunchen rolled his eyelids and pondered, as if he was thinking about something. While thinking about it, he said: "Well, I have to admit that your sister is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life.
