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

The next morning, before dawn, Xie Changqing woke up automatically.

Shalan and Yuanxiao were still sleeping deeply.

The little guy who was originally lying between the two of them was now completely in Shalan's arms. His two little hands were still holding the clothes in front of Shalan, and pulled the skirt loosely, revealing the laces of her underwear.

Shalan's cheek was pressed against the child's cheek, one hand passed under the child's neck to serve as a pillow for the child, and the other hand held the child's little hand.

On the contrary, he is a little far away from Xie Changqing.

Xie Changqing bent his knees and sat on the bed and stared for a while, then pulled Yuanxiao's hands off Shalan's clothes one by one, pinched them, lifted the belt, easily picked up the child, and threw it to the end of the bed.

Yuanxiao hummed twice, but there was no sound.

Xie Changqing glanced at him and saw that he had no intention of waking up, so he stopped caring about him, leaned close to Shalan, and pulled Shalan's collar up.

When he was about to get up, his fingers lingered between Shalan's neck and collarbone for a long time, and he leaned over and kissed her cheek, then reluctantly got up, put on his boots and went to bed.

It was still dark outside, it must have just been midnight.

Xie Changqing tied up his loose hair again, arranged his clothes, turned around and pulled the long-haired blanket for Shalan, and then wrapped up the sleeping Yuanxiao and hugged her.

All the movements were done in one coherent motion, and he took the child to open the door and leave.

When he arrived outside the State Guesthouse and saw Lei Yi shivering and yawning in the cold wind, Xie Changqing was obviously stunned.

Then I realized something, and felt a little guilty for a moment.

He stepped forward and patted Lei Yi.

Lei Yi was startled, came to his senses, and said in a hoarse voice: "Second Master, you have figured it out, are you going back home now?"

"Ah."

Xie Changqing responded calmly, got on his horse, picked up the reins and headed towards Xie's mansion.

When he got off his horse in front of the Xie Mansion, Xie Changqing said: "I will stay in the capital for some time when I return to Beijing this time. You have a good rest for a few days. You don't need to come over to my place."

"Take a walk, have some fun, find friends and stuff."

Lei Yi was stunned.

When Xie Changqing entered the courtyard and walked so far that his back could not be seen, he didn't even realize what he heard.

Rest?

What kind of red rain is falling from the sky?

*

Xie Changqing took the child out for most of the night and didn't bring it back until dawn in the morning. Naturally, Mr. Yu scolded him for this matter.

But Mrs. Yu probably guessed where Xie Changqing took the child.

So I didn't scold him very much. I just told Xie Changqing to be careful and not let the child blow the wind to avoid getting sick.

Don't bump into them. Children are very delicate and will become bruised and bruised every time they are bumped. It will make them bleed.

Xie Changqing listened to his mother's nagging in silence, then informed his mother about the marriage, and bothered Yu Shi to make preparations.

Now Yu's sons have married everything they should, and their daughters have married everything they should, and they are all living a good life.

So I'm not as interested in Xie Changqing's marriage as before.

After listening, she waved her hands casually and said, "I understand. Now Lanlan is in charge of big and small things at home. Let her handle your marriage. I'll tell her later. She knows what to do."

Xie Changqing hesitated: "Lan Lan? Who is that?"

Mrs. Yu glared at Xie Changqing, "My fifth daughter-in-law."

"..." Xie Changqing nodded silently.

Xie Changqing only met Xie Changyuan's wife a few times and barely spoke to her. After a long time, he couldn't even remember what she looked like. Xie Changqing didn't react when Yu Shi suddenly spoke.

However, when Yu said this, Xie Changqing remembered the name of Xie Changyuan's daughter.

It’s hard to call it that.

It was so uncomfortable.

After bidding farewell to the Yu family, Xie Changqing walked to his yard and said to the soldiers following him: "Go and see if the Fifth Young Master is up. If he is, invite him over and have a chat."

When this invitation reached Xie Changyuan's ears, Xie Changyuan was about to go out.

Chen Shulan went out for a favor yesterday and attended a banquet, so she didn't see Xie Changqing return home. At this time, she heard that Xie Changqing wanted to chat with Xie Changyuan, and she couldn't help but become curious.

What can we talk about?

I feel that Xie Changqing is not a person who likes to chat.

The last time he returned to Beijing, he and Xie Changyuan didn't even exchange a few words.

That's a cool person.

Chen Shulan hesitated and said, "Second brother, is there something I need your help with?"

"About that." Xie Changyuan spoke in a casual tone, waving his fan lazily, "He has a problem with our daughter's nickname and threatened me yesterday to change her name."

Chen Shulan was stunned: "Why? Isn't it just a name?"

"I don't know. It looks like his tail is about to explode as if his tail has been stepped on." Xie Changyuan clicked his tongue twice and said with a chuckle: "It's incredible, it's hard to see him in such a posture."

"I guess the name thing must have something to do with Princess Molan."

"Otherwise he wouldn't be able to react like that."

Chen Shulan thought for a while, "The princess Mo Lan was originally called Sha Lan when she was in the house. Everyone calls her Miss Lan, but this doesn't seem to be her name."

"I have read some topography books about coastal conveniences. In some of the myths and legends, there is a sea goddess named Shalan."

"Really?" Xie Changyuan came over, hugged Chen Shulan, and kissed Chen Shulan hard on the face, "Hey, my Ning Ning is really awesome. She is well-read and knows everything."

"Let go!"

There were servants in the courtyard and in the room. Chen Shulan was still not used to Xie Changyuan being so shameless and close to him at any time, so she immediately blushed and pushed him away.

When Chen Shulan quickly stood in a safe area, she glared at Xie Changyuan before continuing: "If I remember correctly, Princess Molan's name is Jiya. Is it because the name is a homophone, so my second brother doesn't like it?"

"Oh?"

Xie Changyuan touched his chin, "Really? How did you know her name was Jiya?"

"Yesterday at the banquet, someone mentioned something... It is not a trivial matter for so many foreign races along the coast to have diplomatic relations with Great Qin. It is normal for some news to spread."

Xie Changyuan nodded: "Okay, I generally understand. Then I won't go out today. I'll go find my second brother to catch up on old times... Come on, come on, I'll take the stinky girl away, don't disturb your mother!"

After saying that, Xie Changyuan carried the little girl over, patted the boy's head gently, and said with a smile: "Be with your mother well, and don't torment her with bad people."

"Otherwise, I'll spank you!"

Such a young child can already understand what adults say.

However, Xie Changyuan often said harsh words with a smile like this. Even the children knew that this was just to tease him, and responded to Xie Changyuan on the spot with a series of giggling and childish laughter.

Xie Changyuan hugged the child and left in a good mood.

Chen Shulan took two steps after him and said, "Don't deliberately make my second brother angry. The child's nickname was originally chosen by you randomly. If there is a homophonic conflict, just change it. After all, the princess who married into the Xie family is also the child's elder."

Naturally, there is no argument that the niece and the aunt are competing for the name.

Xie Changyuan said "I understand", but he already strode away. (End of chapter)
