In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

Gu Wenxuan stroked the small gourd tied around his waist. It was the first gift Qiqige gave him. He loved it so much that he even folded the rope to tie the gourd into three pieces for fear of losing it.

Gu Wenxuan saw that Qiqige was not wearing the new boots, but was carrying them in a bag. He took off the bag and put it on his back.

Gu Wenxuan was eager to return to her hometown, buy her all the good things, let her live the life of a young lady, and comfort her for her years of hard life. Her voice was as gentle as a spring:

"Qiqige, when we return to Sheng'an City, I will buy you phoenix-head shoes, various golden hairpins, and all the silks and satins in the mansion to make you new clothes. I will make 300 sets of clothes, and you can change into different styles of clothes every day. I will also find a few chefs from Jiangnan and Xishu to make all kinds of delicious dishes for you."

"A river of south wind makes hibiscus red, and golden osmanthus luxuriantly exudes fragrance. Thousands of branches hang down green, and the shadows of crabapples are reflected, and the wine is fragrant. Hibiscus is tenacious and brilliant, and its life is vigorous. The crabapples and golden osmanthus never fade in autumn. The morning sun and the evening glow, the flowers bloom in all seasons. We want to be together, and we will go to March spring and September laurel together. You can also try the Central Plains wine and sake, but I still want to drink the mare's milk wine you brew."

"Next year during the Lantern Festival, when the lights in the flower market are as bright as day and the sky is filled with brilliant fireworks, we will go to Changying Street with Prince Jin, Prince Xi, and Jiang Yanqing."

Qiqige yearns for a better life. She doesn’t know much about the Central Plains culture, but the brilliant lights that come to her mind are definitely more shocking than the blooming lotus lanterns. A smile spreads across her face:

"Master Gu, I heard that the Quhe Governor's Mansion is a tall building. I have never seen one. I will definitely see it when I go to Youzhou this time. When I give birth to a child for you and the child grows up, we will go to Xi Wang's hometown, Xuanzhou in the south of the Yangtze River for a trip."

"Prince Xi once told me a poem, 'The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are particularly red in the sun. I want to see what the lotus flowers look like, too."

"I saw a line of poetry in a storybook: 'Two wings live together on the acacia tree, and twin flowers bloom on the intertwined branches.' But I have never seen twin flowers."

"Spring is seven points of beauty, flowers are blooming under the moon, I will be with you forever, and the fragrance of sake fills the yard. Master Gu, I also want to be with you forever. When you fight the enemy, you must be very careful and don't hurt yourself, I will feel bad."

It was the first time that Gu Wenxuan heard such touching love words. The boy's heartbeat quickened and he pressed himself against her waist and back. The clear vibration of his pulse was transmitted to the girl's heart. Both of their heartbeats were equally fast. Qiqige lowered her eyes shyly.

Gu Wenxuan was more enthusiastic than usual. He didn't dare tell her that the wild goose flower was a pair of flowers, a couple flower. He took advantage of Xie Chibei's inattention and kissed Qiqige secretly:

"Qiqige, say more, tell me you like me."

Qiqi Ge was originally enthusiastic and cheerful. If it weren't for the incident in the snow, she wouldn't have become such a melancholy and sad woman now. Hearing his many words about treating her well was more touching than the stories in the storybooks. She spoke her heart out:

"Mr. Gu, I like you."

Gu Wenxuan looked at her hair bun and golden hairpin with affection, joy overflowing from his brows little by little. He never thought that he would meet the love of his life when he came to Quhe, and not only could he save Mu Jinan, but he could also take Qiqige away.

Gu Wenxuan didn't care about the gazes of the people around him, and declared his love enthusiastically: "Qiqige, I love you, you are my wife Gu Wenxuan, let's go back to Sheng'an City and get married!"

Qiqige saw that everyone was looking at the two of them. She lowered her head shyly, but was also moved. Such a noble young man never cared about her slave status and treated her like a treasure. How could she not be moved?

The red flowers of Sarlang, which have not yet bloomed on the grassland, send off Qiqige, who had suffered as a slave, with blessings. Her only memory of this land is Aye Asumeng.

Asumeng once told her that she should follow Mu Jinan. At this moment, Qiqige was truly redeemed. She would leave the sad place forever and embark on a new journey.

Xie Chibei glanced at Gu Wenxuan. Gu Wenxuan almost got together with Mu Jinan. During the marriage in the previous life, Gu Wenxuan led a hundred guards to block the marriage team in front of the Mu Mansion. He wanted to take Mu Jinan away, but died at the hands of Yang Zhaowei.

Xie Chibei treats Gu Wenxuan as a brother and hopes that Gu Wenxuan can live with his beloved until the end of his life.

Xie Chibei knew very well that Mu Jinan liked gentle, considerate, just and kind men. If he didn't fight, Mu Jinan would definitely like Gu Wenxuan. If Xie Chibei hadn't been scheming at every step, Gu Wenxuan would have married Mu Jinan long ago.

Xie Chibei looked at Mu Jinan tenderly, recalling the past.

When he was six years old, Xie Chibei met Mu Jinan at Wanyue Bridge. He wanted to save her from being bullied as a slave, but he missed her regretfully.

When he was eight years old, his father was killed. Without the protection of his parents, Xie Chibei was often bullied by King Chen. He walked alone, practiced martial arts diligently, and protected himself.

When he was nine years old, war broke out and refugees were sold into slavery. Xie Chibei disguised himself as a chivalrous hero, named Xiao Jingye, and rescued many orphans.

When he was ten years old, the war spread. Xie Chibei went to visit Mu Jinan, rescued her in Jinhu Lake, picked green plums for her, and left three months later.

When he was eleven years old, Xie Chibei was poisoned by the poison sent by the little girl he had rescued with his own hands. His life was hanging by a thread. He hated Mu Jinan so much that the residual poison had not been cured for many years and would relapse twice a month.

At the age of thirteen, Xie Chibei entered the imperial court and witnessed with his own eyes the beheading of his four uncles. He saw the bloody storm in the royal family and the deaths of many people in the same day.

When he was sixteen, the Eagle Guard brought him news that Mu Jinan had handled the paperwork. Xie Chibei then waited for this enemy in Sheng'an City, determined to make her pay for the pain and suffering he had endured.

In March, peach trees are in full bloom and pear trees are white, the spring breeze invites the moon to spend the night together. Xie Chibei appears in Hu Yulou and finally sees his enemy. He redeems Mu Jinan and takes her back home.

Why didn't Xie Chibei actually kill Mu Jinan after meeting him for so long? Only he knew.

Later, Mu Jinan would smile at him from time to time, care about him when he was injured by a hidden weapon, pray for him, and help him find the account book evidence that showed his father was framed.

Xie Chibei was tempted.

At that time, he had forgiven Mu Jinan for poisoning him with Taoyaohan Blood Poison. Until last night, Mu Jinan admitted that it was she who poisoned him.

Xie Chibei's mind was no longer on the cruel torture of the past, he just wanted to hear those words. He ran away like a child but did not go far. He wanted to see if Mu Jinan cared about him and went to find him?

Mu Jinan suddenly came to her senses, not only chasing after her husband, but also loudly declaring in front of several rivals, "Xie Chibei, I like you."

Xie Chibei was overjoyed.

Mu Jinan stared at Xie Chibei for a long time, and when he saw that he was distracted, he rode closer to him: "Jin Chong, what's wrong with you?"

When the sea is calm, Xie Chibei will carve for her all the small animals that her father has not carved, will accompany her to the boat cruise party that her father and sister have been to, and will teach Mu Jinan all the policies on state governance, the Four Books and Five Classics, calligraphy and painting, battle formations and swordsmanship.

Xie Chibei would accompany Mu Jinan on every birthday, make longevity noodles for her personally, spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together with her, make lotus mooncakes for her, talk to her about decades, and buy her peanut-free glutinous rice cakes.

Xie Chibei will make Mu Jinan the most powerful woman in the world, realize her ambitions, start the great plan of reviving the country, and enjoy a peaceful and prosperous era.

Xie Chibei and Mu Jinan both had miserable fates, but they redeemed each other and supported each other until their old age.

Suddenly, a figure flew over and blocked Xie Chibei's thoughtful face. His eyes were bright red. Mu Jinan sat in front of him: "Xie Chibei, why don't you say anything? What are you thinking about?"

Xie Chibei saw that the little girl in front of him was beginning to learn to be clingy. He was relieved and wanted to hold her in his arms: "I'm thinking about you."

"I'm right in front of you, do you still need to think about me?" Mu Jinan stroked the back of his hand as he hugged her waist and abdomen, "Qiqige and Gu Wenxuan are doing well, you should rest assured and don't be jealous anymore."

Xie Chibei leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice: "I don't trust any man. Who can blame my Mu Jinan for being righteous, talented in both civil and military affairs, towering over the mountains and reaching the sky, and being as beautiful as an orchid in the clear valley, and stunning the whole country?"

Mu Jinan felt that Xie Chibei always used so many words to praise her in order to give her affirmation and confidence and encourage her to fight her way out to a bright future.

She still remembered that when she first arrived in Sheng'an City, Xie Chibei was a prince, and she was just a sixth-rank official in the court, with a status and position far inferior to his. But at this moment, she was actually named the Female General of Huaihua, a title her parents had once received, and she became the only female princess in the world, on equal footing with Xie Chibei.

Mu Jinan hid in his arms: "The night is clear and dust-free, the moonlight is as silver, and the cup is full of clear wine. We cherish every day and stay together forever."

Xie Chibei's eyes were filled with affection: "Under the flowers, the moon is knocking on the door. May you be blessed with longevity and happiness. We will grow old together."

The man behind him rode up on horseback. This man was Xuan Li. The person sitting behind him looked very familiar. Xuan Li looked at Xie Chibei with gratitude and said, "Your Highness Prince Jin, I found my brother, and he actually joined the Killing Flame Army."

Xie Chibei looked back. It was the soldier who had burned the banner with gunpowder. He wore a beast-faced helmet, two short swords on his waist, and had a childish yet tough face. This man was Bai Danggui. He smiled and said:

"Your Highness, I found my brother. He is Bai Xuhai. I found out when Su Heyan was registering his household."

Xie Chibei smiled with relief. He felt relieved. "Okay, if you want to go back to your hometown with your brother, I will not stop you."

Although Bai Danggui was young, he was loyal to his country. King Jin treated his subordinates very well. He was reluctant to leave and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I will follow you forever and serve the Shiyan Army forever."

Xuan Li would not stop Bai Danggui, his eyes showed loyalty: "Your Highness Prince Jin, if you hadn't come here, I would have no chance to return home. Danggui is concerned about his country, and he can only realize his ambitions by following you."

Xie Chibei saw that Bai Danggui looked a bit like him when he was eleven or twelve years old, full of passion and loyalty for the people, and showed compassion on his face: "In this case, Bai Danggui will stay with you for the next few days, and you two brothers can take care of each other."

Bai Danggui said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Bai Danggui and Bai Xuhai left. Two months ago, Bai Danggui learned that Xuanli was his brother. Bai Danggui's father was an honest citizen but was abducted and sold. His mother went to Quhe, used up all her money, had no documents, became a maid, and was thrown into a wolf pack.

After Bai Danggui learned about this, he burst into tears. He no longer had parents, but fortunately he found his brother. He vowed to follow Xie Chibei, so that he would have the opportunity to protect the people who were abducted and sold.

Bai Danggui and Xuan Li often get along with each other. Xuan Li takes care of Bai Danggui like a father. They have been having warm days recently. He just wishes them peace and happiness every year.

The breeze blew up the man's beard, as if every beard was laughing with him. This man was strong and powerful, with infinite strength. He was the banner guard Changsheng. Changsheng rode his horse to Xie Chibei and said excitedly:

"Your subordinate Changsheng pays respect to His Majesty. It turns out that my sister has been in the palace all along."

Xie Chibei had been sleeping for a long time and didn't know who Changsheng's sister was. He vaguely remembered Zhushazhi and asked, "Is she a maid in the mansion?"

Chang Sheng put away the whip, pointed his right hand at Fan Shu, and said gratefully: "It was Madam Fan Shu who told me that she had seen a woman with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows and a half-copper coin on her neck. Her name was Jing Li. My sister Qiu Yue was kidnapped when she was young. I finally found her. When I return to Sheng'an City, I will recognize her."

Mu Jinan recalled that when he was applying medicine to Jingli, he saw half a copper coin. Jingli once said that her mother said she had a brother. He thought that Jingli was kidnapped when she was young, so how could her mother know that Jingli had a brother? And she also said that he was as powerful as the grassland warriors?

Could it be that Jingli's mother knew Changsheng all along, but was unwilling to send Jingli back, like a human trafficker? Mu Jinan said bluntly: "Changsheng, when you return to Sheng'an City, ask Jingli clearly. She told me before that her mother said she had a brother who was as mighty as a grassland warrior."
