After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

When night fell, everyone had found an inn to stay in.

After a simple dinner, Zhu Qing'an fell asleep and had a sleepless night. Even the next day, Fu Guang had to call him several times before he woke him up.

"Princess, have you been too tired these days? You look extremely sleepy!" Fu Guang asked worriedly as he put the clothes aside.

Zhu Qing'an usually stayed at home, and although he didn't get up early, he never looked so sleepy. These days, Zhu Qing'an always seemed to be very sleepy.

Zhu Qing'an was still yawning as he listened to Fu Guang's question, and he felt a little listless.

"Maybe I'm a little tired from traveling, it's okay!" Zhu Qing'an cheered himself up and patted his cheeks after washing up to make himself look less listless.

"Although traveling is important, your health is also important. It would be better to find a doctor to see you!" Fu Guang advised. Since it was related to Zhu Qing'an's health, they naturally had to be extremely careful.

"Nothing! I know my own body well. Now we are getting closer to the Ice Island. If anything goes wrong at this moment, all our efforts will be wasted!" Zhu Qing'an glanced at Fu Guang with a cold look in his eyes. "Don't let others know!"

Of course she trusted Fu Guang, but she knew that Fu Guang was very concerned about her health and was afraid that Fu Guang would let Bian Jingsheng know about the abnormality in her body.

Given Bian Jingsheng's personality, I'm afraid he will really take a break and let the doctor see him, which will definitely delay him for a long time.

Although Yang Chaoyan is temporarily taking care of his aunt, Zhu Qing'an will be worried until the poison is detoxified. The most important thing now is to find the antidote for his aunt.

"I understand!" Fu Guang's eyes flashed slightly.

After washing up, it was still dawn, but the soldiers downstairs in the inn had already gotten up and were doing their duties, and there was no chaos.

Bian Jingsheng watched Zhu Qingan come down the stairs, stood up to greet him, and then glanced at Zhu Qingan's clothes, frowning, "It's cold, why don't you put on more clothes?"

Zhu Qing'an looked down at himself and found that he was wearing more than all the soldiers present.

"I've put on more clothes than yesterday, so I'm not cold!" Zhu Qing'an explained in a low voice.

At the same time, the shop owner was bringing out fragrant freshly steamed buns. The shop owner was a middle-aged woman who was very hospitable and cheerful.

Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "This young lady is so lucky! Your husband is so caring! I have been running the shop for many years, and there are endless young couples coming to my shop. I have never seen a husband as considerate as yours!"

"No..." Zhu Qing'an blushed at the shopkeeper's words and wanted to refute him, but Bian Jingsheng had already held her hand.

Zhu Qingan suddenly stopped refuting, and she remembered that they were going to look for the ethereal fairy grass in secret, so they naturally couldn't arouse suspicion.

Zhu Qingan's silence and blushing face caused the shopkeeper to misunderstand.

"Last night, your husband specifically asked me to boil several buckets of hot water for you. He even told me not to put chopped green onions in the meal. Even this morning's buns were specially made with some vegetarian fillings that you like! I think you are really blessed!"

As the shopkeeper said this, he placed the buns on the table. The soldiers did not move, waiting for the two men to start eating first.

Zhu Qing'an also sat down at this time. After listening to the shopkeeper's words, she realized that Bian Jingsheng had actually done these things. If the shopkeeper hadn't told her, she would probably never know it in her life.

She suddenly didn't know what to say, and her heart seemed to be wet at that moment.

"The shopkeeper is wrong. It's my blessing to be able to marry a wife!" Bian Jingsheng said as he picked up a bun and put it in Zhu Qingan's bowl.

The shop owner didn't expect that Bian Jingsheng, who looked cold, was not only considerate but also able to speak in this way, which made him even happier.

"This guest is right. The young lady is so beautiful. It is naturally a blessing for the guest!"

Zhu Qing'an bit the bun and raised her eyes slightly to glance at Jingsheng.

But this look was not intimidating at all, and her eyes were watery, with a hint of flirting.

Perhaps even Zhu Qingan herself did not know that, as she faced Bian Jingsheng's increasingly little girl attitude, her eyes looking at Bian Jingsheng also had a bit more tenderness that she herself was unaware of.

Maybe she hasn't fallen in love with Bian Jingsheng yet, but she has already been moved by him.

"Drink some porridge to warm your stomach!" Bian Jingsheng smiled. When he smiled, it was like an iceberg melting, which was very beautiful.

When the people of Ancheng mentioned Bian Jingsheng, they always mentioned his great military achievements and ruthless methods, but no one mentioned that he also had a good appearance. It was just that Bian Jingsheng was usually serious and had a murderous aura from the battlefield around him, which made people dare not look directly at him.

The colorful vegetable porridge was still steaming. Zhu Qingan took a spoonful and tasted it, and found it unexpectedly delicious.

The aroma of vegetables and the softness of white rice make you feel warm all over in the morning.

Zhu Qingan drank in small sips, but her speed was still much faster than when she usually ate at home. However, she did not force herself to imitate the soldiers in eating and drinking with big mouthfuls, after all, her appetite was weak.

After breakfast, the group continued on their journey.

Bian Jingsheng went to pay the bill himself. The shopkeeper glanced at the silver on the table and chased him out in confusion, "Sir, you miscalculated and gave too much silver!"

As he said this, the shopkeeper was about to catch up and return the silver to Bian Jingsheng.

Bian Jingsheng, who had already mounted his horse with Zhu Qingan, smiled and said, "The extra wine will be used to buy wine for the store owner! Thank you for your kind words!"

As he spoke, Bian Jingsheng rode away on his horse, and the soldiers behind him followed closely behind him.

The shopkeeper looked at the heavy silver in his hand and was puzzled, but he also understood that this group of people were either rich or noble. With this silver, he could indeed drink a lot of wine.

Zhu Qing'an was sitting in front of Bian Jingsheng at this time, so he naturally heard what Bian Jingsheng said. He poked his head out from under his cloak in annoyance.

"How could I not know that you are so eloquent?"

When Bian Jingsheng heard this, he first reached out to tie the belt under Zhu Qing'an's collar to prevent the cold wind from coming in and chilling Zhu Qing'an's body.

After hearing this, Bian Jingsheng laughed even more happily.

"I'm only speaking the truth, Qing'an. You know how I feel about you! I also understand that you haven't considered marriage for the time being! But I still want you to give me a chance! I once heard the Queen Mother say that men and women can wait until they're ready to get engaged, and then try getting along for a while. If they're a good match, then they can get engaged. Would you mind trying to get along with me first?"

Zhu Qing'an listened to Bian Jingsheng's words and remembered what her aunt said.

My aunt also said that people should follow their hearts, but if a man betrays her, even if they have children and are already married, a woman can cut the Gordian knot.

My aunt's words always sound a little shocking, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that what she says is the truth.

"If you and I are not suitable for each other, I promise that I will never bother you! Just give you and me a chance, okay?" Bian Jingsheng pleaded again.

He mentioned it suddenly because he keenly noticed that Zhu Qing'an's attitude towards him had changed recently, so he naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

It doesn't matter if they can't get married or don't have a formal status. As long as Zhu Qing'an takes a step towards him, he can take care of everything that comes next.

Perhaps it was because Bian Jingsheng's voice was too gentle and too bewitching.

Or perhaps it was because Bian Jingsheng's companionship and care during these days had made her realize how good Bian Jingsheng was. At this moment, Zhu Qing'an almost agreed.

"I'll think about it!" Zhu Qing'an changed his mind the moment he agreed.

It's not that she is reserved as a woman, but she feels that everything is moving too fast. Moreover, although she has let go of Shen Shixin, she is still a little timid about starting a relationship.

"Okay!" Bian Jingsheng was overjoyed. Although Zhu Qing'an did not agree immediately, such an answer had exceeded Bian Jingsheng's expectations.

During the rest of the journey, the two of them didn't talk much like they did at the beginning, and Zhu Qing'an no longer avoided Bian Jingsheng.

Since she agreed to consider their relationship, she planned to carefully consider Bian Jingsheng to see if they were suitable.

After this conversation, Zhu Qingan realized that she and Bian Jingsheng had many similar ideas.

Her eccentric and even unconventional ideas were all affirmed by Bian Jingsheng.

She also realized that Bian Jingsheng was not doing this to please her, he really agreed with her, which was already rare.

"Have you forgotten that I was also raised by the Queen Mother?" Bian Jingsheng explained with a smile.

These words made Zhu Qing'an suddenly realize. Yes, how could she forget that Bian Jingsheng, like herself, was raised by the empress dowager.

Therefore, when he talked about the fact that women should also study and go out to see the world, Bian Jingsheng did not slander or suppress him like ordinary men, but actually agreed with his idea.

"What else did your aunt teach you?" Zhu Qing'an asked curiously.

Her aunt taught her more about how to behave in society, while the other aunts didn't seem to interfere with her. But she was quite curious about how outstanding Bian Jingsheng was.

"The Queen Mother taught me everything a teacher should teach, such as military strategy, tactics, and how to behave in society. But she also taught me to respect women and to be compassionate to the people, and so on. There are countless things like this! If it weren't for the Queen Mother, I wouldn't be who I am today!" When Bian Jingsheng mentioned the Queen Mother, his eyes were full of respect.

He felt that the Empress Dowager was wiser than the great scholars of the time, and even wiser than the so-called masters. She even had a broader vision than the late emperor. It could be said that the late emperor's achievements were largely due to the Empress Dowager.

Listening to Bian Jingsheng's words, Zhu Qingan couldn't help but think of her aunt. Her aunt seemed to be the most powerful person in the world.

Zhu Qing'an even had a very rebellious idea. If his aunt was not a woman, if those men could not tolerate his aunt, with his aunt's ability, it would be easy for her to reach the top position.

Fortunately, my aunt has raised an excellent Bian Jingsheng. When Bian Jingsheng ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely fulfill my aunt's wish.

Perhaps because of their heart-to-heart talk, the two became noticeably closer during the rest of the journey. As they gradually got closer to the Ice Island, the weather became increasingly colder.

Even Bian Jingsheng was wearing a thick long coat, not to mention Zhu Qingan.

Zhu Qing'an was afraid of the cold and usually stayed in the house during the winter in Ancheng. She even asked her maid to light the charcoal and was unwilling to even go out.

But now, there was a whistling cold wind all around, and the exhaled breath instantly turned into a misty white vapor, and the exposed skin felt like it was being pricked by needles.

Everyone slowed down their pace, not because they didn't want to, but because they simply couldn't. Even the horses under their crotches slowed down.

Zhu Qingan was wrapped in thick clothes, and Bian Jingsheng wrapped her in a quilted cloak on the outside. Even so, Zhu Qingan's teeth were still chattering from the cold.

"Are you cold?" Bian Jingsheng handed a freshly prepared hot water bottle to Zhu Qing'an and asked with concern. At this time, Bian Jingsheng's exposed brows were covered with a layer of white frost.

The hot water bottle was very warm. Zhu Qingan held it and felt his palms warm up a little.

But at this moment, Zhu Qing'an saw Bian Jingsheng's hands holding the reins and realized that Bian Jingsheng's hands had been covered with frostbite. It wasn't just Bian Jingsheng; all the soldiers were like this. Only a few who were resistant to the cold were still safe.

"Here you go!" Zhu Qing'an wanted to give the hot water bottle to Bian Jingsheng.

But he was rejected by Bian Jingsheng. Bian Jingsheng stuffed the hot water bottle into Zhu Qingan's hand. Seeing the reluctance and heartache in Zhu Qingan's eyes, he smiled.

"We old men are fine. We have suffered all kinds of hardships in marching and fighting. We have encountered more terrible environments than this! We are not that weak!" Bian Jingsheng explained.

At this time, Kawatani handed the hot water bottle he had just prepared to Fuguang, and Fuguang did not refuse.

Although Fu Guang was good at martial arts and much better than Zhu Qing'an, his teeth were still chattering from the cold.

"Princess, you may not know that once when we were fighting, we had no food or grass left. We had to gnaw on hay and tree bark for half a month. At that time, we would drool when a bird flew through the sky!" The soldiers behind him mentioned what happened that year and laughed.

Starting with this soldier, everyone began to talk about the past.

"Another time, we crossed a river to attack the enemy. It was winter, and the water was so cold that our clothes were frozen when we got out!"

"Don't mention it. One time we had to disguise ourselves and get close to the enemy camp. The ground was covered with horse manure. I lay in it for a whole day. A year later, I still smelled like horse manure!"

Those difficult pasts are no longer suffering in the mouths of these soldiers, and their faces are even filled with smiles.

"What we are doing is to hope that the people of Xuanlong Nation can live and work in peace and contentment, so you don't have to feel guilty! Everyone is willing to come to Jihan Island this time. After all, as long as the Queen Mother is healthy, the people will live a good life!"

Bian Jingsheng comforted them. Although some soldiers had died heroically in recent years, he was also very sad in his heart.

But Bian Jingsheng also knew that whether it was the national prestige of Xuanlong Kingdom or the stability of the court, there would be sacrifices. But those sacrifices would not be in vain, and Xuanlong Kingdom would get better and better in the future.

After listening to Bian Jingsheng's words, Zhu Qing'an suddenly felt that his thinking was still too narrow.

Sacrificing one's own family for the sake of the whole society, this is what my aunt meant by a hero!
