Chapter 1 Yongcheng

Three years.

Three years is not long, and it is not short, but sometimes, it is this fleeting three years. In retrospect, it has long been the vicissitudes of life.

"Mother, mother~~~" A pink-carved fat doll giggled with a string of sugar-coated haws, waved happily with a small hand with a small nest, and shouted excitedly at the woman standing not far away.

The woman was dressed in white, with her shoulders cut and thin waist, and her figure was long and her eyebrows were picturesque. She looked back and smiled charmingly, but her eyebrows were the eldest daughter of the Yun family who left Beijing three years ago, Changping.

"Nian'er, be good, don't move." The man who had been holding the little doll smiled, hugged the little doll to him and said, "We are waiting here." The man's sword eyebrows and eyes were elegant. He sat in a wheelchair, but he did not see a trace of decadence. There was a strong smile in his eyes. The little doll twisted in his arms restlessly, pouted his mouth, and cried sweetly, "Your Majesty~~ Mother is there, Mother is there!" With that, the little hand pointed in the direction of the woman again.

The man smiled, pulled down the little doll's hand and said, "My mother has seen Nian'er and will come over in a moment." With that, he picked up the little doll and turned upside down and smiled, "Nian'er has grown tall again~~"

"Uh-huh, my lord, Nian'er is already two years old!" The little doll stretched out her fleshy little hand, seemed to be a little distressed and slowly stretched out two fingers, and then smiled brightly, "Nian'er should grow up quickly!"

"Did Nian'er listen to the prince?" Changping came over, looked at the little doll and smiled helplessly, and said anxically to the man, "Xu... You spoil him too much."

This person is the king of Lin'an, who is stationed at the southwest gate of the country.

Changping's eyes are very peaceful, that kind of arrogant and sharp, which seems to slowly immerse herself in her bones with the passage of time. Now she looks like a bright pearl under the accumulation of years.

"Chu, the old wound on your body hasn't healed yet. Why did you come out like this?" Changping picked up the little doll and kissed him on the cheek, and then said to Lian Xiu, "What should you do if you don't care about your body so much?"

"Don't worry." Lian Xiu shook his head, took Changping's hand and said, "It's just some old injuries. It doesn't matter." The bodyguard waiting on the side picked up the little doll, and Lian Xiu continued to say, "It's you who lost your body at the beginning, but now you work so hard. I really don't know what to say about you."

Changping walked to Lian Xiu, pushed his wheelchair, smiled and said, "I'm very well. I don't feel tired at all."

"As long as you are happy." Lian Xiu smiled, stroked her hand pushing the wheelchair and said, "Let's go back."

"Hmm." Changping nodded and the group marched towards the royal palace.

After the departure of the king of Lin'an, the market returned to the bustle. The hawker's face was smiling. The life in Yongcheng gradually got better, and there was the king of Lin'an on the border, but no one dared to invade it.

"Brother, is the king of Lin'an who just passed?" A man in alien clothes walked to the stall and listened, "Why did he appear here?"

"Hey, is the guest a stranger?" The vendor glanced at him with a smile and said, "Are you from Yan Guo? Look at your clothes. The hawker was a talkative person. Balabala said a lot, but he didn't talk about the main idea.

"..." The man twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Is that woman Princess Lin'an?"

"Oh, that's Miss Yun" the hawker sighed, and then glanced at him proudly, and his tone was full of pride: "Now in our prince's mansion, it's the most cherished."

"Huh? Miss? Is it the prince's concubine?

"What do you care about!" The hawker stared and seemed to be a little annoyed. The guest official changed the topic and said, "That hospital..."

"It was run by Miss Yun herself. The price of medicine in this pharmacy is the cheapest. In Yongcheng, we don't accept medical fees for elderly people." The hawker looked at him and smiled, "Miss Yun is good. She will definitely be the princess of King Lin'an in the future."

"But...I heard that this Miss Yun has some identity..."

"Well, mediocrity, it's simply a mediocrity." Another vendor came forward and said, "That is, you scholars just hold on Miss Yun's identity, but I don't know how many of you are self-respecting to be high, but you are a black-hearted master!"

"You hawker, how can you curse?"

The hawker ignored him and sighed directly, "You don't know. The year before last, our Yongcheng had a plague and killed many people!" In the end, Miss Yun made something called acne, so that we won't die in Yongcheng. The hawker wiped his tears and finally sighed, "So, Miss Yun is the lifesaver of our Yongcheng!"

"..." The guest officer finally sighed, "So, this Miss Yun is very prestigious in the eyes of Yongcheng people."

"That's it." The vendor nodded.

He didn't mention the gossip, but said that after Changping returned to the palace with Lian Xiu, he accompanied Lian Xiu for dinner.

"Are you asleep?" Lian Xiu turned his wheelchair and came to the dining table, but he didn't see the little doll and couldn't help asking.

"Well, I fell asleep." Changping personally filled a bowl of fresh soup for Lian Xiu and said, "Drink more, which is good for your legs." With that, Changping stepped forward, helped him sit on the chair, and said, "The doctor said that your leg may also get better." Changping squeezed his lips and smiled, "However, even if you don't get better, don't be afraid. I will serve you in the future."

Lian Xiu then smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll bother you in the future." He has passed his life now. If he had been better, he would have been better.

"Good." Changping answered and said, "We are husband and wife, and that's how we should be."

Lian Xiu took her hand and said, "You've been busy all day. Sit down and eat." With that, she put some of her favorite shredded red bamboo shoots into her small bowl and sighed, "You should also eat more meat. It's not good to always eat such plain as this."

"..." Changping chopsticks paused, but said lightly, "It doesn't matter. I'm used to it. Besides, eating more light things is also good for your health."

"That's nonsense." Lian Xiu said an anxious voice and said, "Where is meat that is more nourishing?"

"Xu~~" Changping sighed helplessly and said, "I saved it." He shook his head and finally picked up the meat slices he put in his bowl.

"Nian'er is also old now, and she still likes to be clingy." Changping smiled and looked at Lian Xiu and said, "I don't know how he likes to stick to you so much?"

"Children always like to be clingy." Lian Xiu smiled and said, "If you spend more time with him every day, he will naturally be closer to you."

"Chu, in a few days, the Epoch will come back." Changping hesitated for a moment and said, "At the beginning, I sent him away despite his opposition. Now three years have passed, and I don't know how he is doing now."

"Don't worry, the child of Jiyuan is very smart and won't let himself be wronged."

"I really hope so." Changping sighed with a wry smile and said, "Ji Yuan has been spoiled by his mother since he was a child. He is afraid of being a little wronged. I'm really afraid that something will happen to him when he is alone."

"He is no longer a child. Since you were in Yongcheng, his news has been sent." Lian Xiu patted his hand and said, "He will arrive in Yongcheng in a few days. Don't you worry about it?"

"It's true." Changping smiled and said, "I'm too careful."

After the two finished eating, Changping slowly stood up from the chair with Lian Xiu and walked slowly. His legs had no strength at all. Because he had been sitting in a wheelchair for many years, his legs were a little cringe, which seemed to be thinner for ordinary people. Changping pressed his legs with hot cloth every day. Mo.

"It's just for me to do these, but you're tired." Lian Xiu took a handkerchief and wiped off the sweat on her face and said, "You never listen." Although he said so, the satisfaction in Lian Xiu's eyes cannot be ignored.

He once had three princesses, but they all lost their lives at a young age. There are rumors that his life is hard, and the fate of a lonely star is to defeat his father and mother, and his wife and son.

Over the years, except for large and small slaves, he was the only sister in Lin'an Palace who was sent to Beijing early. Sometimes he always thought that if his sister was still by his side, would she not survive today's age?

That year when he went to Beijing, when he lost his wife, the girl's cheerful flute sound seemed to be naughty, soothing people's hearts, and he began to subconsciously pay attention to the girl.

Until her marriage, she was kind-hearted and not as domineering as she appeared, but he would rather be in such a beautiful figure as this girl forever, but he did not expect that when she was married for four years and saw her again, even her expression would be slightly numb.

That night, he didn't expect that the woman who fainted in the ruined temple because of childbirth was her!

When he saw the face of the sweaty and embarrassed woman, even he couldn't imagine the shock in his heart. She was pregnant, but she appeared alone in Yongcheng and almost died. Every time she thought of that time, she was still a little frightened. If he hadn't been due to the heavy rain. Did you miss the broken temple? She was so weak at the beginning. If she didn't have time to cure her, would she never be seen again?

"What are you thinking about?" Changping bent down, waved his palms in front of his eyes, and smiled, "So distracted?"

"Ping'er." Lian Xiu took her hand and didn't say his fear. He just laughed and said, "We're tired. Let's go and have a rest."

Changping rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, let's go." With that, Changping helped Lian Xiu go to bed and said, "Go to bed early. You have to meet the envoys of the State of Yan tomorrow."

"I'm most tired of this envoy of the State of Yan." Lian Xiu muttered, "A little thing needs to be discussed."

"Ha ha, why do you have to be angry?" Changping turned his head, put his head on Lian Xiu's arm, and smiled softly, "Now that he is doing things personally, it is inevitable to be irritable. What's more, now the tea horse transaction with the State of Yan is run by the royal palace, repairing and opening an account with different Yan Guo, and making the tea horse transaction beneficial to merchants. In this way, the royal palace collects taxes, and it is not idle.

"How can it be so simple?" Lian Xiu shook his head, turned his head and pinched her cheek and smiled, "There are many things involved. This tax alone will attract merchants to rebound."

"I don't want to do well. Nowadays, only a few families are doing tea and horse transactions for the royal palace. If you only need to pay the money and be authorized by the royal palace, ordinary merchants can do it. Why worry about no tax?"

"The tea horse trade is originally violent, and I'm not afraid that no one will do it." Changping smiled and said, "It's always easier than the royal family."

"It makes sense." Lian Xiu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "We will discuss with everyone tomorrow, and the specific regulations still need to be considered."

"Hmm." Changping nodded, turned his words and said, "Tomorrow, I have to go to the shop to have a look. Go to bed early."
