Pang Xiao felt that he was about to drown in happiness in the gentleness of his wife, who was smart and capable, and who always thought about him.
He held Qin Yining's waist and kissed her forehead, then kissed her eyelashes and cheeks.
Qin Yining blushed shyly. Her long eyelashes fluttered on Pang Xiao's face, teasing him until his breathing gradually became heavy.
Pang Xiao simply did not restrain himself and carried her in his arms.
Qin Yining exclaimed and looked around nervously, only to find that all the servants had left and closed the door before leaving.
"No, it's broad daylight. It's not good!" Qin Yining reached out to refuse.
Pang Xiao chuckled as he put her down on the big red bed sheet. He casually pulled out the hairpin in her hair. Her long hair spread out messily in the blink of an eye, mixed with some small hairpins, and scattered on the pillow of the mandarin ducks playing in the water.
Qin Yining's skin was white and delicate, which was unique to women in Jiangnan. When she lay on her back in panic, her big eyes were still watery, like a small animal that had been bullied.
Pang Xiao simply loved the way she looked, whether she was domineering or shy, smart and cunning, or trying to reject him but welcoming him.
He sat on her body, supporting the pillow with one hand and caressing her cheek with the other.
"Don't, let's wait until tonight."
"No, I want to take a good look at you. You don't know how beautiful you are. "
Pang Xiao's eyes were burning with passion, like a child who had received a gift and carefully opened the ribbon tied with a bow on the gift box. His hands, which were calloused from holding knives all year round, were full of gentleness at this moment.
"Sister Yi, give me a child. I want a child of our own."
Qin Yining's cheeks were pink and her body was weak. She was like a good zither being played by Pang Xiao, who was good at learning, and singing a wonderful song.
When he woke up, it was already evening.
Qin Yining hugged the quilt as he got up and gently called for her to come in.
Bing Tang and Ji Yun smiled ambiguously when they saw the bruises on her body.
Even though Qin Yining was shy, there was nothing he could do. He was afraid that they would say something that would make him blush, so he simply picked a topic to talk about.
"Where's Wang Ye?"
"Wang Ye is meeting an important guest in the study in the front yard. Wang Ye also said that if you wake up, you should go to the study immediately."
When Qin Yining heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wang Ye didn't say who that person was?"
Bing Tang and Ji Yun shook their heads.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Then help me comb my hair. I'll go take a look. I plan to bring the two of you with me on this trip. In addition, I plan to bring Jing Zhe and the other three with me. Help me pass on a message and prepare yourselves. "
"Yes." Bing Tang and Ji Yun both smiled. "They will definitely be happy to be able to go out with Princess Consort."
Qin Yining was amused and laughed. "You guys, let me say this beforehand. This trip will be very dangerous. There will be disaster relief in the south, and there might be unexpected situations along the way. In the worst case, there might even be an epidemic. You all have to be mentally prepared."
"I know! When has Princess Consort ever been free of trouble? "Bing Tang said with a smile," Ever since I started following you, you have never stopped being troubled. However, I also know that with your intelligence, you will be able to deal with any trouble that comes your way. I'm not afraid at all. "
Ji Yun also smiled and said, "Wang Ye will definitely protect you well. As long as we are by your side, we will definitely be fine."
"You're so sly." Qin Yining pinched Ji Yun's face without any anger.
Ji Yun was thin and graceful. Her appearance was bright and beautiful. Bing Tang was petite and exquisite. She was also a cute person.
Qin Yining couldn't help but think of their marriage. "The two of you aren't young anymore. After we're done with these matters, I will find good in-laws for the two of you. If you have someone you like, you can tell me. I don't want to arrange a blind marriage for the two of you and arrange for the two of you to be unfamiliar and unreliable people. "
Bing Tang stomped her feet in embarrassment when she heard this. "Princess Consort is too naughty. She only knows how to tease us!" Then she turned and ran away.
Ji Yun's face was also red as she said, "I'm not like Bing Tang. I don't have anyone in mind. If Princess Consort doesn't mind, please keep me by your side to serve you. I also don't want to be forced to marry someone in a hurry. If I follow you, please allow me to slowly choose a good one."
Qin Yining nodded in understanding and said, "I won't force the two of you. You can slowly choose a suitable one."
To be able to meet the right person at the right age was actually a very lucky thing. Many people would find it difficult to marry the person they truly liked in their entire lives.
Qin Yining felt that he was extremely lucky to be able to love and be with Pang Xiao. She came to his side at the most beautiful age and integrated her best into his memories.
"Are Bing Tang and Huzi very close?" Qin Yining changed the topic and asked.
Ji Yun laughed softly and said, "Nothing can escape Princess Consort's eyes. I think that Huzi is sincere about Bing Tang. It's just that Bing Tang doesn't agree. If she's not researching herbs all day, she's researching perfumes. In her free time, she spends more time with Little Porridge than she does with Huzi. "
Qin Yining also found it interesting when he heard this.
"She's someone who has experienced important matters and has her own ideas. I think she knows what to do."
"Yes." Ji Yun nodded in agreement.
Qin Yining brought Ji Yun to the outer courtyard. He stopped in front of the courtyard where the study was and asked Ji Yun to stand guard outside. Then, he entered alone and walked through the corridor to the main room.
Huzi was standing in front of the door. When he saw Qin Yining, he bowed from afar.
"Princess Consort, you're here! Allow me to inform Wang Ye. "
"Thank you for your trouble."
"You're too polite." Huzi scratched his head and hurriedly went to inform Wang Ye.
Not long after, the door to the study was pushed open. Pang Xiao walked in steadily with his long legs. When he saw her, his sharp phoenix eyes immediately filled with gentleness.
"You're awake?"
Qin Yining nodded.
"Come, Father-in-law came secretly. It's not convenient to tell others. I was thinking that if you weren't awake, it would be the same if I talked to Father-in-law alone. Now that you're awake, it's good that we can discuss it together." Pang Xiao held Qin Yining's hand and explained in a low voice in her ear.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "So that's how it is."
After they entered the room, Huzi closed the door for the two of them. Then, he retreated to a distance and continued to stand guard.
Qin Huaiyuan was dressed in an ordinary light blue robe with a round collar and wide sleeves. He was sitting on the side of the heated kang bed by the window.
"Father." Qin Yining bowed respectfully to Qin Huaiyuan.
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "You're here. Have a seat."
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao moved an embroidered stool and placed it across from them. Pang Xiao even meticulously laid out a thick brocade cushion for Qin Yining.
Qin Yining bit her lip and almost ran away.
It was indeed uncomfortable for her to sit down, but she was still embarrassed to do it so openly.
However, Qin Huaiyuan didn't seem to understand. He only looked at Pang Xiao with a satisfied smile.
Qin Yining was touched and embarrassed at the same time.
After they sat down, Pang Xiao said generously, "Father-in-law, you said that the County King of Yan might have information about the treasure and that's why you volunteered to go. Could there have been a mistake?"
"No." Qin Huaiyuan said gently, "Recently, the County King of Yan has been in frequent contact with Concubine Gu. You all know whose granddaughter Gu is."
Qin Yining said, "Old Master Gu knows the whereabouts of the treasure. Perhaps he's using his granddaughter to tell the County King of Yan. For Your Majesty to leave such a note on the first treasure he found, it does seem like something Old Master Gu would do. "
Qin Huaiyuan nodded approvingly and said, "You're right. I feel the same way. Although Gu Shixiong is a slick official, he has a stubborn side as well. He doesn't know how to be flexible and he doesn't necessarily value the survival and happiness of the people. He cares more about the dynasty's legacy and bloodline. Therefore, he must be thinking about reviving the dynasty. "
Pang Xiao said, "There are many people like that. It's just that many of them don't have the ability, and many of them have the ability but lack the connections. Those who have the ability and connections don't fit their mindset. "
"Yes. Take me for example. "Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said," I don't want to go through any more trouble. When the city gate is on fire, the fish in the moat will suffer. The people at the bottom are always the unluckiest. Even if there were no wars, droughts, floods, and landslides would be enough to make the people suffer. Add to that the original exorbitant taxes. If I were to stir up trouble for my personal beliefs. That would be really unwise. "
Pang Xiao couldn't help but smile and said, "That's why people say that people of different families don't live in the same house. I think the same way as you."
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "That's right. I've known for a long time that you're a kind person. Although your hands are stained with the sin of murder, you've killed one to save ten thousand people. Many people say that you're some kind of demon god behind your back. They say that you've killed too many people and will do this and that. But I don't think so. There's a Buddhist saying, 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' You're the one who killed for the sake of the safety of millions of people. How can such a person not have good karma? "
Pang Xiao's face was hot from Qin Huaiyuan's praise, but his heart was warm. He hadn't thought so much. He was just following his heart and doing things.
Qin Yining smiled happily when he saw that his father and Pang Xiao were getting along well.
"Father, we'll pay close attention to the County King of Yan when we go out this time."
"Mm. Just now, Zhixi told me that you have some arrangements? "
"Yes. I've made an appointment with people from the Qingtian Alliance and Madam Cao. Before I leave, I want to make some arrangements. However, the Silver Mask Spies should be under Your Majesty's surveillance. If I see Madam Cao, it'll be a bit of an eyesore. Why don't you go back and pass on a message for me? "
"That's fine. What message do you want to pass on? "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "There are sixteen Silver Mask Spies in the capital right now. Eight of them are outside. I want to discuss with Madam Cao and transfer the eight outside. Also, I need a few carrier pigeons. "
Qin Huaiyuan understood what she meant when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, I'll pass on the message. If she has any questions, I'll have her secretly come to see you without anyone knowing. "
"That's good.
