As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 321 Controlling Youyun
On the other hand, Xie Changyuan and Xie Changan went back after not staying in Qingfeng Tower for a long time.

Xie Changyuan didn't know what was going on. He deliberately kept silent along the way. He was determined not to lower his head to coax others, as if he was doing it for someone to see.

Xie Changan shook his head helplessly.

He has a gentle and considerate temperament, unlike his third sister Xie Jiajia or Yun Qi, who would tease Xie Changyuan and laugh ambiguously.

Xie Changyuan felt a little more at ease.

……

It will soon be midsummer.

After Xie Wei and his son returned to Beijing, more than half a month had passed in the blink of an eye, and the trends in the DPRK gradually became clearer.

In mid-June, Emperor Xuanwu summoned Xie Wei and Xie Changyu to the palace to meet the emperor.

When they came back, the father and son looked solemn and immediately asked people to set up the incense table in preparation for welcoming the palace envoy.

Half an hour later, Eunuch Li, who was beside Emperor Xuanwu, came to the Duke of Liang's Mansion in person. He appointed the Duke of Liang, Xie Wei Youyun, as the general marshal of troops and horses, and Xie Changyu, the governor of Youzhou, and immediately set off to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun to take over the troops and defense.

Xie's family probably knew about this matter sooner or later.

The family has gained the respect of the imperial court, and the marriage of Xie Zhaozhao and Yun Qi has been decided, which is indeed a matter worthy of celebration.

But Yu was not so happy.

I reluctantly sent Eunuch Li off with a smile on my face. After returning to Chunhe Building, the smile on my face completely disappeared.

"what happened?"

Xie Wei came over and pulled her arm, "Are you not feeling well? Or are you still worried about the boss, the third and the fifth?"

"No……"

Yu shook his head, frowned and said, "We're going to guard the border again, this time it's Youyun Sixteenth Prefecture."

"The King of Liang has been in control of that place for many years. Even if you and your son go there with the imperial edict, it will not be so easy to control the generals there. I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble."

Xie Wei laughed loudly: "What's the point? This is not the first time that I have taken over someone else's army. I know how to convince the crowd and hold power. Madam, you don't have to worry about this."

"It's easy to say..." Mr. Yu frowned even more tightly, "After all, you are no longer as old as you were back then, and you have to go to the bitter and cold place of Youyun... Besides, you still have Changyu."

"He originally wanted to get a wife when he returned to Beijing this time, but now he only has a concubine, and his life-long affairs are still not settled."

Xie Wei was about to speak.

"Don't talk." Yu frowned to stop him, "I know what you want to say. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You told me not to worry about so much, but I just let him go on like this without caring?"

"He is not young anymore. If he is older, there will be no suitable candidate."

Xie Wei sighed, "You are right...but Youyun Sixteen Provinces have not had a general to check and balance them for more than a year. The military situation is urgent and we cannot wait any longer."

"The emperor trusts us, father and son. We must rush over non-stop to stabilize the sixteen states... Zhao Zhao is expected to get married to His Highness Prince Dingxi at the end of the year. We, father and son, are going there for the sake of Lao Qi."

Yu was silent for a long time, "I already know...forget it, let's not talk about it. Plans always fail to keep up with changes."

"Yes." Xie Wei nodded and comforted his wife softly, "Don't think too much. Maybe the boss is destined to be in Youyun? There are also some well-established families in the sixteen states, and there are girls waiting to be married."

"I'll keep an eye on Youyun when we get there."

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she felt a little better, nodded and said, "That's pretty much it."

……

After this day, the family began to pack their bags for Xie Wei and Xie Changyu.

The Yu family usually went with the army, but this time because Xie Huan arrived in the capital, she naturally had to stay and take care of Jin Sun.

Therefore, I was very careful when packing my luggage and prepared everything I might need. However, considering that it would be more convenient to travel lightly and simply, I also made some new choices.

Xie Huancai had met his father for a few days and then heard that his father was going to war. He was not happy with his little face.

He pulled Yao Wanning's sleeve and whispered: "Aunt Wanning, can't we go with dad? Dad said he would take me to ride a big horse and teach me to box. Why did he leave without doing any of it?"

"The military situation is urgent and national affairs are important." Yao Wanning said seriously: "Your father is a general who guards the border and keeps the people safe. He is not just your father." "We can't follow him to disturb him or distract him."

"When the border issue is resolved, he will come back to see you. Then he can take you to ride a horse and teach you how to box."

"Oh……"

Xie Huan lowered his head, curled his lips and said, "I understand, but I'm still not happy."

Yao Wanning sighed softly and hugged Xie Huan, "Then you sleep with your father these two nights and talk more."

Xie Huanyuan said softly, "Okay."

Xie Changyu was busy in and out of the palace and the Ministry of War these past two days.

He came back very late at night, and it was rare to be by Xie Huan's side in a gentle manner.

He didn't talk much. When the father and son were together, Xie Huan was chattering most of the time. He occasionally responded once or twice, but when he was around Xie Huan, he always made the child feel at ease and comfortable.

When Xie Huan fell asleep, Xie Changyu stood up and opened the door of the next room.

After becoming Xie Changyu's roommate, Yao Wanning had a separate room in Changfeng Garden, and she and Xie Huan rested together most of the time.

Occasionally Xie Changyu would come over.

Because Xie Changyu is going to Youyun recently, Yao Wanning, as his concubine, naturally cannot do nothing.

She prepared two pieces of close-fitting clothing, warm kneepads and sturdy leather boots.

Leather boots are difficult to make. I have been sewing at night for the past two days. Now I am only a little bit closer to finishing them.

When the door was pushed open, she slapped her hand hard, and she knew it was Xie Changyu without turning around.

In this yard, he is the only one who comes and goes as he pleases, and he doesn't know how to knock on the door, let alone say anything.

"Eldest son."

Yao Wanning put down her needle and thread, stood up and saluted Xie Changyu.

"Yes." Xie Changyu nodded, "The child is asleep."

"..."

Yao Wanning lowered her head and didn't say much. She just said "hmm" softly.

When Xie Changyu walked to the bed and sat down, he glanced at the leather boots behind her, then calmly looked away, "There is no shortage of clothing in the army."

"I know, just a little care."

Yao Wanning said in a very low voice, pinched the corners of her sleeves, walked to the bed and leaned over to help him take off his shoes.

Xie Changyu is serious and talks little. He never chats with Yao Wanning. Every time he comes here, he basically goes straight to the topic. When he occasionally talks, it is about Xie Huan, but it is just a few words.

This time is different from before.

After getting on the bed, Xie Changyu pressed Yao Wanning under him and demanded nothing more.

When things were over, Yao Wanning was in a daze and didn't know what night it was. She only vaguely listened to him saying to take good care of the children.

Yao Wanning nodded subconsciously and fell asleep.

When Yao Wanning got up the next day, the sun was already rising.

She walked out quickly with a pale face, but Granny Fang stopped her, "What are you doing, girl? The eldest son and the prince have already set off."

"what?"

Yao Wanning was shocked, "Then why didn't you tell me to get up?"

"The eldest young master refused to let you. He said he wanted you to sleep a little longer. Although the eldest young master looks cold, he actually feels sorry for you." Granny Fang whispered: "If there is some news in the girl's belly, you will be more in this house." It can stand firm."
