Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

Should I tell him that I am not used to sitting on his lap? I am not used to his hug? I am not used to talking to him so intimately? No matter how good he is to me, his personality will not change. I don't want to find a rat. "No... nothing..." I replied weakly.

"Seeing you crying so sadly today, I was really sad. I don't know what made you so sad. You cried until I came and you didn't even notice. How could you, who is always so lively, cry? I thought you always had the only expression on your face, 'smile'." His words were a bit sensational and awkward. Is this something a steely general like him would say?

"I don't want you to cry, especially after seeing you cry today. I will never give you the chance to cry again in the future." He buried his head in my neck. I felt a little itchy, but I held it back.

"I thought I had done something wrong or I had failed to take care of you, which made you cry. When I heard you say you missed home, I suddenly felt relieved. No matter how outgoing a person is, they will miss home sometimes. Just like when I was in the frontier, I would miss my father, mother, brothers, and sisters when I was alone. I understand this feeling!"

What a heartwarming statement. If I wasn’t still thinking about returning to the modern era, if I wasn’t afraid of giving him love and then hurting him by leaving him, I would really want to hug him back and hold him tightly.

General, the god of war on the battlefield, it turns out that you also have your weak moments. I sighed in my heart.

"It's late, let's go to bed, okay?" Without waiting for my answer, he picked me up and walked into the inner room.

I was a little scared at this time. I was afraid that he would lose control and break the previous agreement of dating. Could I push him away? Could I push him away? Could I bear to push him away?

"Don't be afraid, I won't break the rules." Looking at my eyes rolling around, he wanted to laugh, but he still gave me a promise to reassure me.

"Don't sleep at my feet anymore, okay? Just let me hold you like this while you sleep, just hold you..." he asked me.

I really wanted to say "Da-me". Unfortunately, my head didn't listen to my brain and just nodded!

He smiled like a child.

This is the woman I want to cherish. Although you are not very attractive, I like you just because I like you. There is no reason to explain. King Jin added this thought in his heart.

The sky had just turned pale and a new day had begun. For the emperor, princes and court officials, unless it was a major festival, the first thing to do every day was to attend the morning court, rain or shine.

Prince Jin woke up reluctantly and wanted to hold the person in his arms for a while longer, but if he stayed in bed any longer, he would be late and would be laughed at by his other brothers.

Slowly pulling out her left hand that was resting on her head while sleeping, and moving her thigh away from his waist, King Jin couldn't help but laugh, how could this woman sleep in such an ungentlemanly position. Normally she was so scared of him getting close to her, but when she was sleeping, she was taking advantage of him all the time.

After washing and dressing, she gently closed the door and carefully told Dengzhi, who was keeping watch outside, that she should get up and have breakfast when the sun rose, and then go back to sleep if she wanted to. But she had to have breakfast.

I went to Yun Pavilion to find Minister Xia and his son, but was told that they were already waiting in the hall.

The three of them entered the palace together, and the father and son were arranged to work in the Qinzheng Hall, where the emperor worked. The King of Jin went to the Taiji Hall to attend court. Minister Xia looked at all this familiarity, thinking that he would never see it again after he retired and returned to his hometown. He did not expect that he would have such an opportunity to enter the palace and see the emperor again today, and he could not help but burst into tears. Xia Yaze understood his father's feelings, but just sat quietly aside and let his father vent.

"The relatives are here!" It was the emperor's voice.

How come the emperor came without the eunuch notifying him? The Prince of Jin also walked in behind the emperor.

The father and son knelt down quickly, and the words "The in-laws are here!" moved Minister Xia so much that he was speechless, completely forgetting that if this matter was exposed, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor and the whole family would be executed.

The emperor walked over quickly and helped Minister Xia up. "I didn't expect to see you again, my dear. What I didn't expect was that you and I would become relatives." After saying this, he looked carefully at this first-rank official who had always been diligent and honest in his tenure.

It is said that when he left, except for a carriage for his female family members, he and his two sons walked back to their hometown, and he was reluctant to hire even a carriage. What else could the emperor say about such a good official?

After hearing about this, the emperor immediately granted him a favor. The house where Xia Shangshu and his family now live is a reward from the emperor, along with dozens of acres of fertile land and three hundred taels of gold. Xia Shangshu, who returned to his hometown empty-handed, would not be too shabby in the eyes of the locals, and this kindness has touched him to this day.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. You have become thinner. Are you still living?" the emperor sighed.

"Thank you for your inquiry, Your Majesty. I live a good life, and it is all thanks to Your Majesty's grace." After saying this, he was about to kneel down again. Those rewards came after he returned home. At that time, he could only kneel down in the direction of the capital to express his gratitude, and he had no chance to kneel down and thank the emperor in person.

"No, my dear, no." The emperor helped the person who was about to kneel up again.

The four of them all sat down and arranged to have lunch with the emperor and empress in the palace at noon. It could be said that the emperor gave Prince Jin enough face.

"My dear, Princess Jin is here, don't worry! She is my daughter-in-law, I will not treat her badly."

"This old minister thanks the Emperor on behalf of Princess Jin for his kindness."

"My dear minister! The Princess of Jin is already 19 years old this year. Why didn't you help her find a husband before and let her stay until now?" This was a question that the emperor and the empress had always kept in their hearts. Because the Princess of Jin was a junior, it was not convenient for them to ask her.

After all, it was rare in ancient times for the Prince of Jin to get married at the age of 22, and it was even rarer for the Princess of Jin to still be unmarried at the age of 19. People of her age would usually have been married and had children three or four years ago.

"Your Majesty, my niece has been lively and active since she was young, and she has her own opinions. She kept saying that she wanted to be single for the rest of her life and travel all over the country. It's a pity that this child lost her father when she was young. My sister-in-law is weak by nature and can't take care of this child. I have been in the capital and can't take care of her. If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to conquer her, I'm afraid she would still insist on her singleness!" The Princess of Jin was really smart. She even thought of the questions that the emperor would ask. Minister Xia answered the emperor's questions a little nervously.

This is the explanation I had agreed with them yesterday. Since the emperor and empress didn't ask me in person about why I was still unmarried at the age of 19, they probably thought it was inconvenient to ask. But I could ask my subordinates who had been with me for decades, so I agreed with them on the reasons for the explanation in advance, including some questions that might be raised.

When the emperor heard Minister Xia say, "It's a pity that this child lost his father at a young age," he suddenly sighed and said, "I am so sorry for them!" After saying that, he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and immediately covered it up with a smile.

Fortunately, he was just mumbling to himself, and the three people present did not hear clearly what the emperor was saying.

Yes, everything hidden behind this sentence is the reason why the emperor readily agreed to let Xia Mu become the Princess of Jin.

Otherwise, how could a niece of a retired minister become a princess? Impossible!

How can an old girl who knows nothing and knows nothing become a princess? Impossible! !

How could a woman who had not been carefully investigated and whose knowledge and skills had not been carefully tested become a princess? That was impossible!!!

What's more, she is marrying the emperor's favorite, the heroic Prince Jin of the Lufeng Dynasty, which makes it even more difficult. Even if Prince Jin likes her very much, if there is no reason behind it, this marriage probably won't be possible.
