Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 35
Now the food they prepare is relatively rich, including stir-fried vegetables, pickled cucumbers and braised pork. You must know that these things are beyond the reach of rich people in today's Northwest.

Xiao Che raised his glass: "General Shen has guarded the Northwest for many years, and his hard work and achievements should be my king's respect for you."

Shen Li said: "This is the job of a humble official. The prince does not need to worry about it. It's just that the younger sister is stubborn, always mischievous, and has an unruly personality. She must have done a lot of things to make the prince unhappy in the past three years. The eldest brother is like a father. Now that my father is far away in the capital, I would like to apologize to the lord on Xi'er's behalf."

Shen Xi felt sore in her heart.

Presumably, the elder brother must have known about the matter between himself and Xiao Che, so he took the initiative to apologize.

It's all because of my own badness, which caused my elder brother to worry about his own affairs thousands of miles away.

Xiao Che was a little surprised: "It's all in the past, and now the concubine and this king...have a very strong relationship."

When he said this, Xiao Che glanced at Shen Xi intentionally or unintentionally, and Shen Xi was shocked: "Yes, brother, I was really ignorant at the beginning, but fortunately, my lord does not remember the faults of villains, and is willing to let go of past suspicions." Accept Xi'er."

Shen Li is not someone to be fooled with, he knows Shen Xi's temper best.

Xiao Che's forced marriage to her will definitely damage her reputation and face. Although Shen Xi is not someone who particularly cares about these things, if word spreads, others will definitely think that she deliberately seduced Xiao Che. The family's reputation is the most important thing, so she must feel uncomfortable, and the prince is not a person who can coax others, Shen Xi will naturally vent out her discomfort.

How many women have ruined their lives in vain because of the loss of reputation...

That's why the two of them spent three years in such a ridiculous way.

Shuqin didn't expect Shen Li to make a sudden attack, so she quickly said: "Master, the relationship between the prince and the empress is really good now! Before the prince was ambushed in Xunyang, it was the empress who went to save the prince regardless of the danger."

"Huh?" The information Shen Li got was that Shen Xi and Xiao Che disappeared together, it seemed that someone wanted to hide this matter.

As if afraid that Shen Li would not believe it, Shuqin quickly said: "Really, General Qin can also testify for this matter, can't you, General Qin?"

Shuqin tugged on Qin Zhao's sleeve, and Qin Zhao said calmly: "It is true, the undoubted love between the prince and the princess is really the blessing of the people in the world."

Xiao Che also opened his mouth and said: "I know your good intentions, and it is indeed all right now."

Although Shen Li was still dubious, but since Xiao Che was already like this, he still didn't say anything in the end.

"In this case, that is the best."

After finishing the meal, it was already getting dark. Shen Xi learned from the dinner that Xiao Che and Shen Li were old acquaintances. The relationship gradually faded.

Shen Xi didn't know this.

It's winter now, the northwest is very cold, there is no rain in this place, it's dry and cold, when the wind blows in, it hurts people's faces, as if they are about to freeze, Shen Xiben is surrounded by warmth along the way The brazier was sleeping, and the brazier was constantly burning in the carriage.

But at night in the northwest, even though two braziers were lit, it was still cold. Xiao Che and Shen Li had a long talk all night in the study, leaving Shen Xi lying on the bed alone, unable to sleep.

It's not because she misses Xiao Che so much, it's just because it's too cold here... so cold that her feet are about to freeze off.

Shuqin also slept very uneasy, even a person like her who is always full of anger feels cold, that lady is weak in body, and she is most afraid of the cold, how can she be born?

After thinking about it, I still feel uneasy. The prince has not returned to his room yet, and the northwest is short of water so he is reluctant to make soup. The empress must be suffering from the cold at the moment.

After thinking about it, Shuqin got dressed and got out of bed, and put on a thick cloak again, ready to light a brazier for Shen Xi.

The three braziers won't be the same as before, will they?

At this moment, Shen Xi was about to ask someone to light another brazier, when Shuqin knocked on the door and came in.

Shen Xi saw the things in her hand and said with a smile: "You really know me best."

Shuqin lit the brazier: "It's really cold in the northwest, even the servants feel a little unbearable, let alone the empress is cold?"

Too many braziers in the house can make people feel bored, Shuqin thought for a while, and opened a corner of the window farthest from Shen Xi, the cold wind blows in along this corner in an instant, making Shuqin tremble.

Then she found another piece of gauze to wrap the corner, which could not only ensure ventilation, but also prevent the cold wind from entering to the greatest extent.

After all, the environment in Northwest China is just a little worse, but the things that should be there are not bad at all.

Shen Xi hung down the thick curtain, even if the gauze was not wrapped, the cold wind would not be able to enter.

Shuqin thought for a while, and followed this method to open a corner in another place.

She had just finished these things when Xiao Che opened the door and came in.

Shuqin quickly bowed to Xiao Che, Xiao Che glanced at the three braziers on the ground, and he knew it.

With so many braziers placed here and no windows opened, no one knows how people suffocate to death in the end.

"You go down first." Xiao Che untied the cloak and hung it on the hanger, Shen Xi poked his head out from the curtain of the bed: "My lord, are you back?"

These days, the two share the same bed, but there has never been any behavior beyond the distance.

Shen Xi is also happy and at ease, although she likes Xiao Che quite a lot now, but this kind of liking does not include her willingness to have fun with him.

Fortunately, Xiao Che himself did not have such intentions.

Hearing Shen Xi's words, Xiao Che subconsciously nodded, then turned around and sat down beside the bed: "But it's cold?"

Shen Xi said: "Yes, the northwest is really cold, it's still so cold without snow..."

"The weather here is already bad." Xiao Che took off his clothes and got on the bed, then continued: "We will go back in a few days."

Shen Xi was a little surprised and said, "So anxious?"

Xiao Che glanced at her with a half-smile: "Could it be that you like staying in this wild place?"

Shen Xi shut up.

She traveled with Xiao Che in the afternoon, and the people along the way came out to worship. Shen Xi saw that although many of them were dressed gorgeously, most of them were like pearls covering the dust. Xi knew in her heart that there was no water here, so it was not bad to be able to do this.

Although she feels sorry for these people, she can give them her own food, and she can donate food and clothes for them with her own money, but it doesn't mean that she is willing to be as unkempt as them, without washing her hair or taking a bath for ten or even dozens of days .
