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

I don’t know how Shalan is doing in the State Guesthouse, but she is still used to everything.

It's been a hard journey, so I should be able to settle down at the State Guesthouse.

Xie Changqing thought this, but he turned over and sat up, quietly looking at this unfamiliar room.

After a while, Xie Changqing stood up, put on his robe and went out.

The guard outside the courtyard looked at him in surprise: "Second Master..."

"I'm going for a walk."

Xie Changqing said a word, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Guards, you look at me, I look at you, and finally everyone returns to their respective positions and stands at their posts.

Xie Changqing originally strode out of the house, but after walking a few steps, he stopped and turned back, reaching the yard next to the Yu family.

It was already very late.

This courtyard is the courtyard where children live. After the children go to bed, the servants, except for those who keep watch, rest quietly without making any sound.

Xie Changqing also walked very lightly, opened the door and walked to the child's bedside, wrapped the sleeping Yuanxiao in a quilt, held it in his arms, and strode out.

The sound of opening and closing the door alerted the wet nurse who was keeping watch.

When she came over to check, she saw Xie Changqing, her eyes widened and she said in surprise: "Second Master, what are you..."

"I'll take him away for a while." Xie Changqing said quietly, "Just keep doing what you should do. I'll bring the child back later."

"But Second Master——"

The wet nurse wanted to say something else, but Xie Changqing didn't give her a chance and quickly disappeared into the night with the baby.

Xie Changqing didn't even leave the house through the main entrance.

Because Xie's Mansion is really big, it takes a long time to go around the main entrance according to the rules, and it will take a lot of time there.

Xie Changqing has never been a stickler for rules.

He hugged the child and jumped over the wall directly.

But when he landed in the alley outside, Xie Changqing realized that the State Guesthouse was still some distance away from Xie's residence, and it would take a long time to walk there with the child in his arms.

After a moment of silence, Xie Changqing dug in again and went back to the next door to his yard to wake Lei Yi up.

Lei Yi had been tired all the way and was woken up just after falling asleep. His head was pounding and he was extremely sleepy. However, he could only cheer up Xie Changqing and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Get your horses ready."

"It's so late, why are you preparing your horse?"

"State Guesthouse."

"Uh..." Lei Yi was startled for a moment, and then he realized that Xie Changqing was holding a child in his arms, and his eyes widened, "Where did the second master steal the child?"

"..." Xie Changqing frowned and stared at Lei Yi, "Can you speak? My son!"

Lei Yina said: "Uh, I forgot."

Xie Changqing's voice became even colder, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"

Lei Yi took a deep breath, dared not speak out in anger, and obediently asked someone to prepare his horse.

In fact, for such a small matter, Xie Changqing could call a soldier or go directly to the stable and ask someone to prepare it.

It's just that he has long been accustomed to calling Lei Yi for everything, and he has forgotten that Lei Yi is not his follower.

After all this back and forth, Lei Yi was exhausted, and finally accompanied Xie Changqing on horseback to outside the State Guesthouse.

Xie Changqing originally wanted to repeat his old trick and jump in directly.

But I thought it would be a little unsafe if I had a child with me and the guards took action, so in the end I decided to reveal my identity, express my intention, and ask for a meeting.

The entire foreign team knew about Xie Changqing's marriage to Sha Lan, and there was also news in Beijing.

The guards of the State Guesthouse looked at each other for a moment and then let Xie Changqing in.

The child in Xie Changqing's arms slept peacefully, showing no sign of waking up after all the trouble.

When they arrived at the courtyard where Shalan rested, the guards withdrew and Xie Changqing walked in. The room was dark. The guard Sang Hehe was guarding the courtyard as before. He was a little surprised to see Xie Changqing suddenly coming, but he was even more surprised to see the child in Xie Changqing's arms.

He opened his mouth and was speechless.

Xie Changqing ignored him and pushed directly past Sang He and pushed the door in.

Then the door slammed shut.

There was no light in the room, but Xie Changqing determined that Shalan was on the bed based on a series of faint but familiar breathing sounds.

He slowly walked in and saw that Shalan was asleep.

She did not use the bedding prepared for her by the state hotel, but wrapped herself in the long-haired white blanket that Xie Changqing had prepared before, and slept soundly.

It’s almost August 15th, and the moon has been very big and bright these days.

Xie Changqing lifted the bed curtain slightly, and the moonlight came in and shone on Shalan's face. The long and curled eyelashes cast a layer of shadow, and Xie Changqing also saw a bit of fatigue on Shalan's face.

Rushing is really a tiring thing.

Especially for Shallan.

Although she knows some magic, she doesn't know any martial arts. She has a delicate body and weak hands, but she has no strength to restrain a chicken.

Xie Changqing raised his hand and touched Shalan's cheek lightly with the back of his hand.

Originally, he brought the child here to let Shalan take a look at the child. The child's eye color and hair color were like Shalan's, and Shalan would be very happy to see it.

As a result she fell asleep.

Now Xie Changqing couldn't bear to wake her up and disturb her rest.

But I brought all my children with me...

After thinking for a while, Xie Changqing placed the child in his arms next to Shalan and removed the blanket that Shalan was wrapped in so that the child could be closer to her.

He thought his movements were very light, but he didn't expect that just as he pulled the blanket, Shalan opened her eyes and looked at him tiredly: "Xie Changqing, you woke me up..."

Xie Changqing said sarcastically, "Go on to sleep."

"I actually can't sleep very well... I lay down for a long time, tossing and turning for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. I changed the place, everything is unfamiliar, and I know the bed."

So I asked the doctor's wife to get the original blanket from the carriage, and finally managed to sleep.

As a result, Xie Changqing came.

Compared with blankets, Xie Changqing is obviously better at sleeping.

Shalan sat up and stretched out her arms to hug Xie Changqing, "You can sleep with me."

"careful!"

Xie Changqing's expression changed slightly, and he quickly hugged the child who rolled around in a circle as Shalan got up and shook.

The child was really sleeping deeply. He didn't even wake up after being tossed around like this. He just smacked his lips and hummed twice.

Shalan looked at the child blankly, and then at Xie Changqing. That little mouth that was always so eloquent became speechless for the first time.

Her red petal-like lips opened and closed for a long time, then pursed her lips, "Child..."

Shalan was very sleepy before, so she was looking at Xie Changqing with half-squinted eyes. The room was dark, and she didn't even notice that there was a little dumpling beside her.

"It's Lantern Festival."

Shalan stretched out her hands to hug the sleeping child in Xie Changqing's arms. At this moment, her eyes seemed to light up, "It's so beautiful...Xie Changqing, you just run around by yourself in the middle of the night, why are you running around with your child?" ?”

"Bring it to you to see."

Xie Changqing looked at Shalan, thought for a while, bent down, took off his boots and got on the bed, held Shalan in his arms and asked, "How do you recognize her at a glance?"

"I gave birth to it, so I can recognize it at a glance." Shalan said with a smile: "And you won't hold other people's babies to show me."

Xie Changqing: "..."

He didn't recognize it. (End of chapter)
