Chapter 835

Tao Zhan sighed and said, "Two days ago, Shangshu Jiang's mother found my sister-in-law and asked her to bring me a message. Shangshu Jiang was willing to marry Xiao Qiao as his wife. I think it is inappropriate. After all, I can't make the decision for Xiao Qiao. Yesterday I told Xiao Qiao himself the news. As a result, at noon today, Xiao Qiao said she was going back to Jiangdong."
"Then how did she express her opinion at that time?" Liu Jing asked without saying a word.
"She didn't say anything at that time, and didn't say a word."
Speaking of this, Tao Zhan felt a little guilty, "I only remembered afterwards. Maybe I shouldn't have told her about this. Isn't this just driving her away? Oh, is it because I'm having trouble."
Liu Jing's face was unstable. He knew that Xiao Qiao, a beautiful beauty, was the dream of almost all men in the world. Even Cao Cao wanted to get her at all costs. It was not surprising that Jiang Wan was attracted to her. Even Liu Jing could not stop her temptation. If he hadn't been thinking about Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao would have been the thing in his hand.
But Xiao Qiao is going back to Jiangdong now, which makes him feel inexplicably disappointed. He thought for a while and said, "I'd better advise her to stay. Tell her that she will make decisions about her own affairs. No one can force her. I hope she can live."
Tao Zhan hesitated for a moment and said, "I think it's better to persuade her to stay by yourself."
What a smart person Tao Zhan is. Xiao Qiao was silent for two days before he proposed to leave today. It was probably because his husband had returned home. Tao Zhan knew in his heart that some things were not yet revealed yet.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Jing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and persuade her to stay."
Liu Jing did not go directly to find Xiao Qiao, but went to Sun Shangxiang's courtyard. Although Sun Shangxiang was a little dissatisfied with Liu Jing because of Xiao Qiao's affairs, it was just a trivial matter and would not affect the relationship between the couple. As long as they did not mention this matter, they still had a deep friendship.
During this period, Liu Jing's marriage encountered a hurdle, and he would face a new marriage in succession, one was Xiao Qiao and the other was Cao Xian. Xiao Qiao was a beauty, and he was moved by him. Cao Xian was a political marriage, but whether it was taking a concubine or marrying a partial concubine, it would inevitably cause uneasiness in his family, which can be seen from Tao Zhan's upset today.
Liu Jing was also upset. He could get some comfort from Sun Shangxiang. He quickly walked into Sun Shangxiang's courtyard. A maid was about to report, but Liu Jing stopped her. The maid pointed to the pond in the courtyard and whispered: "The second lady is in the pavilion."
Liu Jing slowly approached the pond. There was an octagonal pavilion in the pond. Under the bright moonlight, there were two people sitting in the pavilion, one was Sun Shangxiang, and the other was Xiao Qiao in a long skirt. Both of them were holding light Luo fans. They faintly heard Sun Shangxiang seemingly trying to persuade Xiao Qiao to stay.
"You have to understand that this is the Han Palace, not the Jiang Mansion. I believe that there are not only Shangshu Jiang who likes you, but so what? I believe that even if you go back to Jiangdong, there will be such troubles. Why should you take it to your heart?"
"I'm just"
Xiao Qiao sighed softly, "I'm just afraid that the princess will make things difficult for her. She treats me well, but I can't repay her. If I refuse, I'm just afraid that she will be difficult."
"Then you are just worrying too much. I think she is just for your own good. After all, the Prime Minister's wife is also the dream of many women. She thinks this is an opportunity. If she doesn't tell you that it is her fault. If you don't want to, just say it. Don't think too much, and don't pack up your things and go back. That way, it will make it difficult for her to be a human being. How can she explain to the old man?"
"Old man" Xiao Qiao asked strangely: "Who is the old man?"
Sun Shangxiang said angrily: "Who else will be there except for the old man Liu who thinks he is the best in the world?"
Xiao Qiao covered her mouth and laughed, "If he is an old man, aren't you and I both my wife?"
"I'm just talking. I've been back for almost a day and I haven't come to see me yet. I'm so slow to act, what if I'm not an old man?"
Liu Jing stood behind the rockery and couldn't help but smile knowingly. He did not disturb the two of them and turned around and entered Sun Shangxiang's room.
Although the room was not elegantly arranged, it was very neat. A few of her favorite weapons were hung on the wall. At this time, Liu Jing found a short sword hanging on the wall in the middle. It was the Qingyue Sword he gave to Sun Quan that year, and was later picked up by Sun Shangxiang. Liu Jing did not expect that Sun Shangxiang would like to see this sword, which made a hint of warmth rise in his heart.
"Husband, is it you?"
Suddenly, Sun Shangxiang's excited voice came from the door. Liu Jing walked around the screen and saw Sun Shangxiang standing at the door, his eyes full of surprise. Liu Jing felt warm in his heart and stretched out his arm with a smile. Sun Shangxiang was happy and threw himself into his arms. Liu Jing hugged her tightly, lowered his head to kiss her earlobe, and laughed in her ear, "I didn't expect the old man to come."
"you"
Sun Shangxiang shyly punched him, "You were eavesdropping on us just now."
"I didn't eavesdrop, I just heard it overthink."
Sun Shangxiang wanted to complain again, but Liu Jing didn't give her a chance. She lowered her head and kissed her lips hard. Sun Shangxiang's body slowly softened, and she couldn't help but stretch out her long jade arms like lotus roots, hugged his neck, and kissed him passionately. Her lovesickness for several months was fascinated by the deep affection when she met.
I don’t know how long it took, but Sun Shangxiang lowered her head and gasped and said, “Will you stay with me tonight?”
Liu Jing nodded, picked up her legs, held her horizontally in her arms, and walked towards the second floor with big strides. Sun Shangxiang hugged his neck, pressed her face tightly against his chest, and asked in a low voice: "You sleep with me tonight, aren't you angry?"
"She is in a bad mood, and I feel very tired. It will be good for everyone to avoid it."
"I know she is worried about Cao Xian's affairs."
"What"
Liu Jing was stunned, slowly put Sun Shangxiang down, grabbed her hand and sat down and asked, "How could she know about Cao Xian?"
"I don't know the specifics. Anyway, she has been upset about this for a few days. Could it be that this is just a rumor?"
"Not a rumor."
Liu Jing shook his head and said, "There is indeed something, but it was not decided in the end. What about you, are you upset about this?"
Sun Shangxiang gave him a blank look, "I won't be upset if you marry ten thousand women. I just eat and drink enough. If you have a bed to sleep at night, nothing else has to do with me."
Liu Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sun Shangxiang was talking angered. With her personality, she was not willing to do anything about it, but she had no choice. Why wasn't she a political marriage?
Sun Shangxiang snorted, stretched out her arms and wrapped herself around his neck, and said sweetly: "No matter what he will do tomorrow, we just need to have fun in time. Such a beautiful scenery, do you want to sit with me all night?"
Liu Jing's heart was shaken. At this time, Xiao Qiao and Cao Xian disappeared from his mind. There was only this beautiful wife in his heart that made him extremely moved. He turned over and pressed Sun Shangxiang under him.
The next morning, Liu Jing left Sun Shangxiang Courtyard and headed towards the front yard. As soon as he walked to the bamboo forest, he suddenly saw white shadows flashing in the bamboo forest. Liu Jing was slightly stunned. He took two steps forward and looked into the bamboo forest. He saw Xiao Qiao wearing a snow-white long skirt, holding a bamboo basket in his hand, and slowly walking along the path in the bamboo forest. The white mist in the bamboo forest was surrounding him, and Xiao Qiao seemed to be like a fairy in the forest.
Liu Jing quickly walked into the bamboo forest, took a few steps, caught up with Xiao Qiao, "Wait a minute"
Xiao Qiao stopped for a few steps, turned around and smiled, "Don't Your Highness go to work hard on official business?"
"I was about to go, but I just saw you in the bamboo forest."
"Oh, I live in the backyard, and I can pass by here. I like the serenity of this bamboo forest."
Liu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "I listen to the princess, you plan to go back to Jiangdong."
Xiao Qiao nodded gently, "I plan to go back in two days. After all, I am here to be a guest. How can the guest stay for a long time and not leave?"
Liu Jing looked at her and said, "What if you are not a guest?"
"What's the matter if it's not a guest?" Xiao Qiao Beiqi nipped her lip with a little panic in her eyes, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Liu Jing.
Liu Jing walked forward, hugged her waist, staring at her with bright eyes, "You understand what I mean."
Xiao Qiao sighed and gently pushed him away, "Don't do this, it's not good for Shangxiang to see."
After pausing, she said softly: "I know you don't care, but you have to think about it for me. She is my best friend after all."
Liu Jing nodded, let her go, and said in a deep voice: "I want you to stay and give me some time."
At this time, Sun Shangxiang's voice suddenly came from outside the bamboo forest, "Have I sent the letter I wrote yesterday?" She seemed to be asking the butler.
"Report to the second wife, the letter has been sent."
Xiao Qiao was startled and hurriedly walked to the other side of the bamboo forest. After walking a few steps, she turned around and smiled at Liu Jingyan, "Okay, I'll give you a face and stay for the time being."
Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and kept looking at her beautiful figure walking away before turning around and walking towards the front yard.
