After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

"Are you awake?" Cheng Shubai looked at Su Xiaoxi who had woken up and smiled lightly, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Su Xiaoxi nodded, and then asked: "Are these all prepared for me?"

Cheng Shubai nodded.

"Then I'm welcome."

With that said, Su Xiaoxi started eating without hesitation.

Cheng Shubai sat quietly next to Su Xiaoxi and looked at her, with a doting smile on his lips and focused eyes, as if he wanted to imprint Su Xiaoxi in his heart and never forget her.

"You all go down, I want to stay alone with my wife for a while." Cheng Shubai ordered the maid outside the door.

After Su Xiaoxi was full, she got up and walked out of the house. Su Xiaoxi sat down under the shade of the trees in the yard outside the house.

Seeing this, Cheng Shubai also sat next to Su Xiaoxi.

"What is this place?" Su Xiaoxi asked, turning her head and looking at Cheng Shubai beside her.

Cheng Shubai smiled and replied, "This is the border of Beirong. We will reach Daning Dynasty soon."

It turns out to be here!Su Xiaoxi understood. No wonder she didn't encounter any murderous intent along the way.

After all, her and Nangong Che's identities were both extraordinary, and Beirong believed that he would not target them too much, so he would not have murderous intentions.

"How did you spend this time?" Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask with concern. In fact, she also wanted to know what they had experienced.

"Don't worry, madam, we are fine now." Cheng Shubai explained lightly.

His wife, he will definitely protect her.

"Oh." Su Xiaoxi nodded, "That's good."

After a pause, Su Xiaoxi suddenly changed the topic. When Cheng Shubai heard this, the corners of his mouth curved with joy.

In the days that followed, the two of them kept cuddling with each other, chatting every sentence. Occasionally, Cheng Shubai would tell some interesting stories from the past to amuse Su Xiaoxi.

There are always some pictures flying through Su Xiaoxi's mind. She desperately wants to catch them, but in the end it is all in vain.

On this day, Cheng Shubai took Su Xiaoxi to a farmer's house on the outskirts of the city. The farmer's father was a carpenter and made a living by carving.

Farmers have fields and land, and a few acres of small yields, and their lives are relatively prosperous.

Looking at the simple farmhouse in front of her, Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but think of her previous life.

Now she also has her own mansion, but unfortunately she does not farm and can only make a living.

In other words, she did not grow food, but bought and sold food to earn money to support her family.

Looking at the farmers in front of her, Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel envious, "If I could also learn some carving skills, I would be able to support myself."

After saying that, Su Xiaoxi sighed.

After Cheng Shubai listened, he couldn't help but feel distressed, "I'll teach you."

After saying that, Cheng Shubai pulled Su Xiaoxi into the farmhouse. The farmer and his wife saw Cheng Shubai and Su Xiaoxi enter the house and hurriedly entertained them.

Cheng Shubai briefly introduced the situation of the farmhouse to Su Xiaoxi, and then Su Xiaoxi learned that the farmhouse parents were quite old and had only two children.

Cheng Shubai and Su Xiaoxi stayed at the farmhouse for three days, during which time the farm family took great care of them.

Three days later, Cheng Shubai said goodbye. The farmer's parents repeatedly urged Cheng Shubai to take care of himself.

Before leaving, Cheng Shubai also took out a bag of broken silver and gave it to the farmer as payment.

After Cheng Shubai left, the farmer's parents were filled with emotion, saying that they never imagined that his unintentional kindness would become their family's benefactor.

Su Xiaoxi didn't care about that, she just comforted the peasants, and then the three of them returned to the Daning Palace.

As the prince, Nangong Che naturally wanted to discuss matters with Cheng Shubai, the prince's first assistant, while Concubine Hui and the queen came to Su Xiaoxi's palace to visit with concern on their faces.

"Xiao Xi'er, I heard that you were injured, and I scared my mother to death!" When Concubine Hui hurried over, Su Xiaoxi had just finished taking a bath, and was sitting lazily on the concubine's couch, wearing a red dress, drinking tea.

Listening to Concubine Hui's anxious and worried voice, Su Xiaoxi felt warm in her heart. Such family affection made her nostalgic.

"Mother-in-law is worried. I just have a skin injury. I just need to rest for a few days and it will be fine." Su Xiaoxi said softly.

"Xiao Xi'er, my mother and concubine were negligent this time. From now on, my mother and concubine will definitely send more secret guards to protect you." Concubine Hui said guiltily.

"Okay, Concubine, I don't blame you for this matter. Who would have thought that the enemy army would dare to openly oppose our Daning Dynasty. Not only was I fine, but I also saved Cheng Shubai." Su Xiaoxi smiled broadly, "Concubine, don't worry. As long as I am here from now on, I will never allow anyone to bully you!"

Su Xiaoxi's tone revealed determination when she said this.

Listening to Su Xiaoxi's words, Concubine Hui was overjoyed.

At this moment, Concubine Hui felt that her choice to marry Nangong Chen was very correct.

"Yes." Concubine Hui nodded in agreement, then looked at Su Xiaoxi and asked, "Where have you been these days?"

Su Xiaoxi was startled. She didn't tell Concubine Hui those dangerous things. She just picked up some fun and interesting things and told them to Concubine Hui.

Although this trip was dangerous, it was rewarding, especially seeing Cheng Shubai's intelligence and delicacy.

Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but think that if Cheng Shubai was willing to stay in Kyoto, he would definitely become a wise minister in the near future.

Unfortunately……

"Xiao Xi'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you absent-minded? Is there something on your mind?" Seeing Su Xiaoxi's lost look, Concubine Hui asked with concern.

Su Xiaoxi was interrupted from her thoughts, and then she raised her eyes and shook her head at Concubine Hui.

"Concubine, it's okay, I'm just thinking about what to do next." Su Xiaoxi said coquettishly.

Concubine Hui frowned when she heard this, obviously feeling a little embarrassed.

"Xiao Xi'er, why not do this? When these days pass, I will ask Cheng Shubai to help you. This way you will be safer here."

"However, Cheng Shubai still has to go to the battlefield. If he is delayed..."

Su Xiaoxi looked at Cheng Shubai with some reluctance.

This is the first time she has been so dependent on a man since she met Cheng Shubai.

"Xiao Xi'er, Cheng Shubai is not an ordinary man, he is qualified." Concubine Hui said, "Besides, our Ning Dynasty still needs him."

Su Xiaoxi was silent for a while and then slowly said: "Mother, I understand, but I still hope that he will not go to the battlefield. After all, we are not on the same path."

"Hey!"

"Xiao Xi'er, listen to my mother and concubine and let this matter be settled. Otherwise, my mother and concubine should be angry."

Seeing Concubine Hui's firm attitude, Su Xiaoxi finally nodded in agreement.

However, Su Xiaoxi put forward a condition.

"Xiao Xi'er, if you have any conditions, just tell me, and my mother and concubine will agree to it."

Su Xiaoxi pursed her lips and stared at Concubine Hui with burning eyes, "Concubine, can you promise me not to force Cheng Shubai anymore in the future? His current situation is already difficult enough."

Hearing this, Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment, but then she nodded in agreement.

"Okay, mother and concubine promise you." Concubine Hui said with a smile.

"Thank you, concubine." Su Xiaoxi grinned.
