Chapter 214: glass of wine

Jiang Xuening didn't understand why she suddenly called herself "stupid".

She raised her head to look at Shen Zhiyi.

It's just that I didn't expect that at this moment, the body that was close to her shoulders swayed, and then pressed on her body, causing her to exclaim: "Your Highness!"

The tenseness of the past few days was relieved, fatigue surged up, and Shen Zhiyi suddenly felt a faint pain in his abdomen.

Cold sweat broke out from her forehead.

She frowned, her eyes gradually darkened, and she passed out without even saying a word.

The people around suddenly panicked.

Even Yan Lin got off his horse immediately.

Jiang Xuening only felt her heart sink, seeing a little blood smeared on the hem of Shen Zhi's dress, an ominous premonition rose up, she panicked, and shouted: "Doctor, hurry up, Tell the doctor!"

Shen Zhiyi was pregnant at first, but when she was in Tatar, she was struggling because of her status as the chief princess, and only she knew how much pain she had endured inside. What's more, after the war, Yanda, the king of Tatar, urged him a lot. One was thinking about his homeland, and the other was worrying about the war. His thoughts were almost stretched to the extreme. When I arrived at Yanmen Pass, I saw my old friend, and my emotions were even more ups and downs. Is there any reason for nothing to happen?

This fainting was actually a sign of premature birth.

Yan Lin almost immediately ordered the whole army to find the midwife Wen Po.

However, Yanmen Pass was originally built to resist the invasion of foreigners, and it is usually guarded by generals and soldiers. Now it is wartime, and there are a lot of big men caught, but women can't see much, let alone stable women who deliver babies. .

Fortunately, there are some doctors who accompany the army to treat wounded soldiers.

These doctors usually set up medical clinics in the pass to see patients. After spending a lot of effort, they finally asked a few pregnant women who had given birth to pregnant women, so they hurriedly invited them over.

Almost everyone was waiting in the yard.

Jiang Xuening was even more pale.

Shen Zhiyi encountered an accident in Tatar in her previous life, so she couldn't keep the child with Daqian and Tatar blood, so she didn't dare to think about what would happen in this life.

Obviously everyone has been rescued.

If, if because of this child...

Standing outside the door curtain, listening to the noisy voices inside, she felt that her fingertips were cold, and Shen Zhiyi's crying when she woke up from a coma made her feel even more confused.

Almost tortured from morning to afternoon.

Doctors who are not experienced enough almost give up.

But when the drowsy twilight finally fell, a baby's cry suddenly came from the room, although it was not loud enough, not powerful enough, like a weak kitten meowing, it finally rang out.

These doctors almost burst into tears.

He stumbled and ran out and said, "Boy, it's a boy. Her Royal Highness is safe and sound!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xuening stood stiff for a day, and almost immediately fell to the ground.

After a while, he supported the hand that Yan Lin handed over to him, stood up vigorously, opened the door curtain and entered the room.

After all, it is a desolate border area, and the house is so simple that there are only tables, chairs and beds.

Shen Zhiyi lay on her back on the couch.

With tears in her eyes, the maid showed the under-month-old baby to her. She only stretched out her feeble fingers and stroked the baby's cheek lightly. Then, seeing Jiang Xuening, she called out in a hoarse voice. One voice: "Ning Ning."

Jiang Xuening burst into tears.

I dare not imagine, what kind of suffering and humiliation Shen Zhiyi had endured in Tatar with such a rich and well-dressed family background. But just now when his gaze turned to the baby, it was infinitely gentle.

She walked to the side of the bed: "Congratulations, Your Highness, he is also safe and sound."

The baby in the swaddle, whose face is not as big as a palm, is red and wrinkled. It looks much smaller than a full-term baby. There is still wet fetal hair on the top of the head, and both eyes are closed. Tightly, let out a little murmur that I don't know what it means.

Shen Zhiyi was really exhausted, and the finger that was caressing the child's cheek also dropped down. Looking at Jiang Xuening, she unexpectedly said: "It's been so long, I never thought of giving him a name. I think she is a caring girl, I didn't expect it to be a boy. Ningning, help me name him."

Jiang Xuening was startled for a moment.

After a long while, he said: "How about the word 'Jia'? I hope he will grow up happily and healthily in the future."

Shen Zhiyi read it lightly, blinked, and then smiled slightly: "That's my surname over there, let's call it 'Shen Jia' from now on."

Although her surname is Shen?

Jiang Xuening suddenly realized something, and her heart was filled with sourness, but she never dared to show any sadness, instead she continued to laugh and said, "Shen Jia, Nian Nian is quite nice."

Now that Shen Zhiyi has been brought back, the border war has come to an end.

The Tatars were seriously injured in these days of fighting, and they couldn't recover their vitality in three to five years. Yan Lin and Xie Wei would never do such a thing as massacring ordinary people, and the culture of the Central Plains is not the same as that of the Tatars. Even if they occupy the city, it will take a lot of thought to manage it, and there will be endless troubles .

So even though they had already attacked the royal court, the army still withdrew in batches in the following month.

Naturally, the Tatars also presented peace books to Xinzhou.

When the news reached the pass, there was even more joy.

Because of Shen Zhiyi's postpartum weakness, Jiang Xuening stayed with Yanmen Pass for a month. Seeing her gradually recovering, she dared to leave for Xinzhou on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month. I didn't dare to be too bumpy on the road, so I walked for two or three days for a short distance.

The news of the princess returning to court, of course, had already reached Xinzhou.

The common people seldom saw the nobles of the royal family, and when they heard the news, they came out one after another to pay their respects to the princess. Seeing her victorious demeanor, the street was completely blocked.

Enter the city at noon and enter the general's mansion in the evening.

The mansion had already prepared a clean and comfortable room, and some more powerful doctors came to ask Shen Zhiyi and the baby who was born less than a month ago for a pulse of safety, and also prescribed some warming and recuperating prescriptions.

After such a lot of tossing, it was almost the end of the year.

The Tatars, who had been harassing endlessly in the past, were beaten to death by the new general in charge of the military, and even the royal court was not saved; the eldest princess Shen Zhiyi of Leyang, who went for the country's peace, was also rescued safely, and even gave birth to a baby. son. The people at the frontier were rejoicing, the high spirits inside and outside the barracks, the whole army asked for orders together, each family contributed their efforts, and held a large banquet in the city, one rewarded the triumphant class teacher, the other greeted His Royal Highness to return to court, the third wished the baby a full moon, and the fourth celebrated New Year's Eve.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the General's Mansion was naturally full of lights and festoons.

Shen Zhiyi's body is getting better, and she has been able to walk around the yard these days.

Jiang Xuening personally painted her makeup, and also went to the banquet hall.

Xie Wei, Yan Lin, Lu Xian, You Fangyin and others were all present, and even Ren Weizhi, who had escorted another batch of food and grass in the rear a while ago and arrived later, was already at the table, among them were the generals in the army, the orchestra actress. The scene was very lively. After sweeping away the desolation of the border town in the past, there was actually a bustling bustle of fire, trees, silver flowers and intertwined cups of wine, which made people feel as if they had returned to the capital city.

"I have never fought such a hearty battle in my life. If I want food and money, I want money and money. Let alone fighting for a month, even if I fight for another ten years, I will not hesitate!"

"Yeah, when have you been so comfortable?"

"In the past, it was the last general who underestimated General Yan, but now he is really a hero, and he is old, old!"

"Let's go, let's offer a toast to General Yan!"

During the banquet, some people were so drunk that they supported each other, got up from their seats, and came to Yan Lin with wine cups, and wanted to toast him for a drink.

Tonight's Yan Lin had already changed out of his heavy armor, and was only wearing a deep black dress with broad shoulders and narrow waist. As he walked and walked, he attracted countless actors and servants to look at him frequently, expressing their love with their beautiful eyes.

It's just that he can't see it.

Seeing the crowd coming towards him, although he got up, he didn't serve the wine, he just said: "Forgive me, generals, I'm afraid I will repay your kindness if I don't drink alcohol."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment.

Among them, the older general with a beard even put his hand on his shoulder, and said carelessly: "How can a hero like a general not drink? A man is a man, he must be drunk when he is drunk! Big guy!" They drank so happily, you don’t drink at all, what kind of talk does that sound like? Someone, bring us some wine for General Yan!”

Someone immediately responded.

After all, today is a floating banquet in the whole city, where the soldiers and the people enjoy together and mingle together. Naturally, the original manpower in the general's mansion is not enough to deal with these many things, so the waiters and even shopkeepers of some restaurants in Xinzhou City came to help.

The folk customs in the border town are open, and even some young women who want to find a good marriage come here.

After all, if you can meet a good man in the army, wouldn't it be a good marriage?

The one who responded was a beautiful girl in red, who carefully traced her makeup for today, pasted golden flowers on the center of her eyebrows, and carefully discerned the corners of her eyes and the tips of her brows, which were a bit charming.

I don't know how many people's eyes fell on her.

She was pouring wine for someone during the banquet, and when she heard someone calling, she turned around with the wine jug in her hand.

Yan Lin didn't pay much attention, and still said that he really didn't drink alcohol.

The girl's eyes flicked to him, her cheeks flushed a little, she was a little bit shy, looking at him in such a lively place, she added a bit of moving posture.

She turned around and poured out the empty wine cup on the table, and then offered the wine to Yan Lin.

Yan Lin frowned lightly, didn't reach out to pick it up, but said to those generals who were booing: "You guys drank a little too much."

Jiang Xuening helped Shen Zhiyi in at this time.

Seeing this lively scene, she couldn't help laughing, and said to Yan Lin: "There is a life-and-death battle on the battlefield, and life has been handed over, so what is a glass of wine? The generals are also sincere, you might as well obey drank it."

Yan Lin turned his eyes, and suddenly looked at her silently.

Her heart skipped a beat.

The memory flowed back, and finally thought of something, and I became a little stunned.

When the generals saw such a pretty girl coming in suddenly, they thought of the "Second Miss Ning" that had been rumored a few days ago, and hearing that she was so familiar with Yan Lin's words, they all laughed along: "Yes, Ning The second girl has already said that even if General Yan doesn't look at our thin noodles, he must look at the girl's face! Come, let us toast you!"

Yan Lin only said: "I don't drink alcohol."

The bearded general couldn't help wondering: "You are not in your seventies, what can't you drink?"

Yan Lin looked back at Jiang Xuening, seemed a little unhappy, closed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid I'll scare people."

Jiang Xuening felt a little pain in her heart.

But he said as if he didn't say anything: "I accept the kindness of the generals, but I'll leave the good wine for you to drink."

Most of the soldiers who lead the battle are big bosses, how can they be humiliated like this? What's more, Yan Lin is still young, so he doesn't drink for some reason, which is really unpleasant.

Fortunately, at this time, Xie Wei and Lu Xian finished talking outside and walked in.

When Jiang Xuening saw it, he broke the siege and said, "Mr. Xie is here too. This time, General Yan has made great contributions to the frontline battle, but if there is no quick supply of food, grass and supplies, this battle will definitely not be fought so happily. Why don't you all respect Mr. A glass?"

Xie Wei stopped and looked at her.

Although he doesn't directly intervene in military affairs, who in Xinzhou City doesn't know his status? Besides, he doesn't talk much, and he is a high-ranking civil servant from the middle of Beijing. These old and rough military generals always feel that they are not as comfortable talking with Yan Lin when they get along with him, and they feel a bit restrained. There will be some inexplicable apprehension.

As soon as Jiang Xuening's words came out, everyone's jokes subsided.

Immediately, he said "yes" repeatedly, and then raised his wine cup to thank Wei.

Xie Wei didn't speak.

Jiang Xuening caught a glimpse of his empty hands, looked to the side, and saw the girl who was serving wine to Yan Lin, so she took the wine cup from her hand, and wanted to pass it to Xie Wei instead.

Originally, he just wanted to save Yan Lin from the siege.

However, when she raised her eyes and met his, an unspeakable complication arose in her heart. No matter what, this time the frontier army was able to go straight to the Tatar royal court and rescue the princess. The first person she should thank is It's Xie Wei.

The hand holding on to the wine cup stopped for a while, but Jiang Xuening still held the cup with both hands, lowered her head slightly, and said, "Please, sir."

The fine wine shakes gently in the cup.

Xie Wei glanced at the wine cup and then at her before taking the wine cup over. Her fingertips inevitably touched her fingertips lightly, and her fingers shrank back as if they had been burned by something.

At this time, all the generals said in unison: "The last general is waiting to offer a cup to the young master!"

Xie Wei didn't speak, just poured his glass to finish the wine.

There was applause and laughter all around, and he didn't show much joy. He handed the empty cup to the side, and a sharp-eyed waiter took the cup away.

Everyone re-entered their seats.

Jiang Xuening also breathed a sigh of relief.

No one noticed that the girl in red who was pouring wine for Yan Lin by the side turned pale when she saw that the wine glass was drained, showing a look of uneasiness and annoyance. While everyone wasn't paying attention, he bit his lip, sneaked into the lively crowd, and disappeared.

Jiang Xuening helped Shen Zhiyi to sit down, and she also sat beside her.

Ren Weizhi and You Fangyin were talking next to each other with their heads bowed.

When Lu Xian sat down, he didn't intend to see it, and for some reason, he reacted in his heart, and simply turned his eyes away, wanting to talk to Xie Weiyan.

However, before he could say a word, Jianshu walked in quickly and whispered something in Xie Wei's ear.

Xie Wei's expression changed slightly.

He turned his head sideways and looked in the direction of the entrance of the flower hall.

At this time, only a long report sounded in front of the general's mansion: "Deputy Commander of Jin Yiwei sent Master Zhou Yinzhi to—"

There was a sudden silence at the banquet.

Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows even more steeply, and immediately frowned in surprise.

After a while, Zhou Yinzhi, dressed in dark blue casual clothes, passed through the atrium and came to the front of the hall. He bowed with a smile and said, "Zhou Yinzhi came here by order, and wished you a great victory in the border crossing against Tartar. I have met His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and the Young Master." grown ups!"
