Chapter 151 Travel
Both of them were in a mess.
Xie Beiheng carried Lin Xiangxiang directly into the bathroom.
After a while, the two came out of the bathroom after tidying up and lay on the bed hugging each other again.
The atmosphere is still a little awkward!
"Um……"
"Forehead……"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Lin Xiangxiang immediately said: "You speak first!"
She was just trying to lighten the atmosphere by bringing up the topic.
Xie Beiheng was annoyed, he spoke too slowly!!
He didn't know what to say, he just felt that he couldn't let Xiangxiang remember what happened just now.
"Forehead……"
"Yes... Did Li Chenghe look for you when I was away?"
It actually reminded him of something serious.
For nearly a year, the Ministry of Revenue had been unable to raise enough food and fodder, but Xiangxiang was sending large quantities of food and fodder to the border. It was impossible for Li Chenghe not to become suspicious.
Also, he didn't want Li Chenghe to meet Xiangxiang alone from the bottom of his heart. He always praised Xiangxiang for her beauty.
Hearing this, Lin Xiangxiang opened her eyes. Yes, she almost forgot about this.
Xie Beiheng had asked this when they were recording the video before, but she was afraid that he would worry and it would affect the battle, and besides, nothing really happened, so she wanted to wait until he came back to tell him.
"I looked for it once."
Just as she finished speaking, she felt the hand around her back tighten, and she quickly said, "But nothing happened."
Li Chenghe's original words at the time were, "Princess Minhui is not only extremely intelligent and wise, but also cares about the people and is selfless. This is truly a blessing for Dayue and the people!"
"But, I wonder where Princess Minhui collected this food and supplies?"
When conferring the title of princess on her, Li Chenghe sent people to Fuguang Prefecture to inquire about it. Although the Lin family had been engaged in business for generations, their business was not big. They were not wealthy or had a fortune. It was almost impossible for them to raise so much food and grass in a short period of time!
When Lin Xiangxiang heard Li Chenghe's question, she was not panicked at all.
Before entering the palace, she guessed that Li Chenghe would ask about this, so she prepared a draft in advance. It was nothing more than official rhetoric, flattery and avoiding the important issues.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. Minhui is humbled and unworthy. Your Majesty has appointed Minhui as a princess. Minhui is grateful for your grace. Your Majesty is a wise ruler who loves his people like his own children and is benevolent and respectful to the virtuous. Minhui feels deeply honored to be able to share your Majesty's worries!"
"Now that foreign enemies have invaded, the country is in dire straits. Although Minhui is a woman, she understands the principle that 'one has a country before one has a family.' Furthermore, it is said that 'one should be willing to sacrifice life and death for the benefit of the country, and not to avoid it because of good or bad fortune.' Although the Lin family is not a wealthy family, for Dayue and to repay the emperor's kindness, the Lin family can and is willing to empty all the wealth passed down through generations, just to contribute a little to defend Dayue."
"Also, Your Majesty, please forgive Minhui's selfish motives. General Xie is fighting bravely on the front lines. As his future wife, Minhui hopes that he can devote himself to the battlefield without any worries, so as to drive the Northern Rong out of the Central Plains as soon as possible and restore peace and tranquility to Dayue!"
These words were about sharing the emperor's worries, the interests of the country and family, and the love between young men and women, but in the end, they were more about explaining the motives. As for where the food and grass came from, there was only one sentence: they emptied the Lin family's wealth from generations past.
Lin Xiangxiang was not worried at all that Li Chenghe would go into detail to find out whether the Lin family really had such a rich fortune.
When a country is in crisis, if some businessmen take the lead in donating money and grain, those in power will only praise and publicize them and let them serve as role models. It is impossible for them to investigate where their money and grain come from at this time, at least not at the moment!
After hearing Lin Xiangxiang's words, Xie Beiheng raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of admiration.
"Xiangxiang is so smart!"
"As you said, Li Chenghe really won't delve into the matter right now. He just wants an answer. Even if he thinks there's a problem, he'll turn a blind eye. The national treasury is empty, and he wishes all the wealthy businessmen in the world would follow your example and donate generously."
Lin Xiangxiang covered her mouth and chuckled, "You know him quite well. After I left that day, he immediately issued an imperial edict, praising me and the Lin family immensely. With this imperial edict, the Lin family has almost become the number one merchant in Dayue in the past six months."
Xie Beiheng raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a good deal for them." He didn't spend a penny, but made a fortune.
Lin Xiangxiang's lips curled up, "They gave me the household registration, this can be considered as a reward for them!"
"Besides, my identity is fake. With the interests at stake, the relationship between me and them will be more solid."
"Wow!" Xie Beiheng exclaimed, pulled the person out of his arms, and looked at her in surprise.
"It's true that when you've been away for three days, you start looking at people with new eyes. Our Xiangxiang is now looking at things more comprehensively and deeply, and doing things more maturely and skillfully!"
Lin Xiangxiang snorted, smiling smugly, "Otherwise, you'll think I've been in business for nothing for the past six months!"
Xie Beiheng smiled dotingly and kissed her on the cheek, "Well, it's not in vain, it's really amazing!"
Lin Xiangxiang giggled and pecked him on the lips. "This is a reward for you."
"Is this considered a reward? Do it again, it will take a little longer."
"You wish. Come again. It's been a while."
As a result, just as he pecked at it, someone held down the back of his head.
Xie Beiheng originally just wanted to tease her, but unexpectedly, while they were kissing, something started to surge again.
His face flushed and he quickly let go of his hand.
Lin Xiangxiang also felt it, uh~
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward again!
The key point is that she really didn't mean to laugh at him, but Xie Beiheng himself cared a lot about it. What should he do?
Lin Xiangxiang was still in distress. Xie Beiheng looked a little stiff and started to make small talk again.
"What were you originally going to say?"
Lin Xiangxiang's mind was filled with black lines. This guy wouldn't keep behaving like this before he proved his true level, right?
Helplessly, in order to take into account someone's self-esteem, Lin Xiangxiang had to cooperate.
"Well... I originally..."
Lin Xiangxiang's mind was working rapidly. Suddenly, she sat up abruptly, her eyes wide open and shining.
"Ah! Xie Beiheng, how about we go on a trip?"
Yes, travel!!
Because she had little money in the past, she rarely traveled. From childhood to adulthood, she had only been there twice when she was in college.
In the spring of my sophomore year, I went to Wuyuan with my roommates.
Wow~ The pastoral scenery in the mist, the rape flowers all over the mountains, and the houses in the Hui style of architecture are so beautiful that you want to go again after visiting once.
Also, during her junior year, on May Day, she went to Zhangjiajie and Orange Island with her roommates. What impressed her most was the stunning fireworks show that night, and the 81 bends on the bus coming down from Tianmen Mountain, which almost threw her out of the car.
"Xie Beiheng, there's still more than a month before the army returns to Beijing. How about we go on a trip?"
"We don't need to take a car. We can drive ourselves and go wherever we want."
"We'll head west, first to Wuyi Mountain, then to Jingdezhen, then to Fenghuang Ancient Town, Jiuzhaigou, Daocheng, and finally Jade Dragon Snow Mountain..."
Xie Beiheng looked at Lin Xiangxiang with excitement, his expression full of anticipation and longing, his eyes shining.
He was stunned where he was!!
No, isn’t it time to prepare for the wedding?
