The two of them laughed and joked, and it took a while before they got up. Jiang Li's waist was sore and weak, so she grinned and bared her teeth. She glared at the person who was laughing at her and said unhappily, "A Yuan, you have learned bad things."

Mo Yuan took the comb, stood behind her, combed her hair gently, and said softly: "No, it's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you a little, so it's inevitable that I lose my gentlemanly manners."

"Pfft, between husband and wife, let's not talk about gentlemen."

"My lady is right. Being too gentlemanly is actually too distant. I wonder where my lady is going to go later, to the palace or to see the slave army. They should not be underestimated now."

Jiang Li looked at the person in the bronze mirror. Her eyes were gentle, and there was no trace of the previous depression and despair. She was indeed nourished by love, and she was so beautiful that she was bubbling. When she heard his words, she casually said, "No hurry, go tomorrow."

"It's rare that I have some free time now. I want to have a meal and chat with my family. It's like giving myself a holiday. I'll go see the slave army tomorrow, and then I'll go to the palace to see my mother. What a big son."

Mo Yuan laughed in silence and reminded, "I forgot to mention Your Majesty. I still need to go see him. His health has been getting worse recently."

Jiang Li hummed and said softly, "I know. We'll get him some blood when the time comes to extend his life. Let him last as long as he can. His body has long been hollowed out."

"Ah, it's not easy to be an emperor, mainly because you don't live long."

General's Mansion

The family gathered together, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was very warm. Jiang Li looked at everyone with a satisfied smile on her face. It was great. She liked families with good traditions. This kind of warm atmosphere was something she had been asking for but had not been able to get before.

Mo Yuan looked at her, and seeing that she was a little absent-minded, he held her hand.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Ah Yuan, your family is really nice. They are not as cold and heartless as those in the palace. They want to eat eight feet away from you and shout when you talk. It's boring."

"Well, the royal family has more rules. Mo Jia is a military commander. He doesn't care about anything else on the battlefield. He often eats and sleeps with the soldiers. Naturally, he doesn't care about the rules that much."

"Very good, I like it very much. Home is not a place where rules are followed. By the way, have you seen Qianying? Why didn't I see him after returning to the general's mansion?"

Mo Yuan paused and said softly, "He's out on some business, and he may not be back for a while. If my wife needs him for something, I can just ask him to come back immediately. It's that simple."

Jiang Li waved his hand and said casually: "Oh, no need, I just asked casually. It happens that everyone in the family has a gift. Qianying's disguise technique is amazing. I am grateful for his help on this trip."

"I had something to give him, but I was in such a hurry yesterday that I forgot to give it to him. I was thinking of giving it to him today, but I didn't expect him to leave so soon."

"Is that so? Then you can go and take a look, hand the things over to the servants in his yard, and then give them to him when he comes back."

"That's fine. I won't be home tomorrow, so I'll send it out today."

*

Jiang Li came to Qianying's room with a sandalwood box in his hand. He looked at the servants coming and going and waved: "Come here. Do you know which room Qianying is in?"

"Your Highness, be well. Lady Qianying's room is in the far corner. I will take you there. Please follow me."

With a creak, the door was pushed open by the maid, and the room was clean and tidy.

Jiang Li put the sandalwood box on the table. When he was about to leave, he saw a letter on the corner of the table. It was written with the words "Princess's Personal Letter". He was a little surprised: "Hey, you left a letter for me?"

He walked out with the letter and opened it as he walked. After reading it, his face changed. He thought of the scenes of last night and felt inexplicably guilty. A Yuan must be jealous and angry.

It’s over, it’s all over. I kept it a secret last night.

Oh hey, let me tell you that you are smart.

Jiang Li returned to the yard, but didn't find anyone. After asking, he learned that he had gone to the training ground. He rode his horse to chase after him. As soon as he entered the military camp, he saw the familiar figure on the stage from afar.

Someone saw her coming and shouted, "General, the princess is here. She must be here to see you. She really doesn't want to be separated from you."

"Haha, yes, the general came and the princess followed him right after him. General, why don't you hurry up? This kind of separation is better than a new marriage. It's really enviable."

Mo Yuan glanced at them indifferently, and seeing them lower their heads, he turned around and jumped down, walked towards Jiang Li step by step, stood in front of her, raised his hand and touched the top of her head.

She said softly, "Why don't you rest at home? Why did you come here?"

Jiang Li looked up at him, drooping his head, and said guiltily: "It's nothing, actually. I just have something to tell you. I saw that you were not at home, so I came to find you. Let's go and find a quiet place to talk."

"Okay, I'll take you to a nice place."

Holding her hand, he walked towards the back mountain, passed through the grove, looked at the empty space in front of him, pulled her to sit on a rock, and gazed into the distance.

"There is a cliff here with a very nice view. It's nice to feel the breeze here. Do you want to eat some fruit? Your husband will pick some for you. The fruit here is very sweet."

Jiang Li nodded, watching him busying around with no unusual expression, he heaved a sigh of relief and muttered quietly, "It seems like he's not angry, so what happened before? Did my uncle come?"

"No matter what, it's better for husband and wife to be honest with each other, so as to avoid misunderstandings and estrangements in the future."

Mo Yuan came back not long after, holding a leaf with washed fruit in it. He handed it over: "Here, try it, it tastes good."

Jiang Li reached out and pinched one, put it in his mouth and took a bite. The skin was a little sour, and the flesh was soft, sticky and sweet. It was a bit like a plum, but softer and more delicious than a plum.

His eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "Well, it's delicious. This is delicious."

"As long as you like it, I'll dig a seedling and plant it later. I can eat it whenever I want. It's more convenient. Madam, please tell me what you want from me."

Mo Yuan looked at her and wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.

Jiang Li dodged his gaze and coughed lightly: "Well, I came to you for something. I want to explain something. I didn't tell you everything last night and concealed part of it."

"First of all, I'm not feeling guilty because I did something wrong. I was afraid that you would misunderstand me. Then I thought that husband and wife should be honest with each other, and it was wrong for me to hide it from you."

"Well, the lady said, and I, the husband, listened."

"Okay, I saved someone by the river before. They were..."

a moment later

Jiang Li looked at him and saw that he looked calm, as if nothing had happened. He was a little puzzled: "A Yuan, don't you have anything to ask me?"

Mo Yuan shook his head: "No, I already know what I want to know. My wife's heart is with me, and knowing this is enough. As for others, it doesn't matter. My wife has never cared about Feng Su."

"Isn't it?"
