A few days later, the army arrived at Guanhai City smoothly. County magistrate Feng Chen led his troops to wait at the port early in the morning. The people were holding a variety of food and wine in their hands, and happily crowded on both sides of the road, waiting for their relatives and soldiers who returned from the battle.
"It's here." Duan Baiyue helped Chu Yuan out of the cabin, "Did you see the dock and the smoke over there? It's Da Chu."
Chu Yuan leaned back gently in his arms, his eyes distant and peaceful.
"Blow another gust of wind, and then go back to change the dragon robe?" Duan Baiyue said in his ear, "Just now, Sixi told him many times, saying that this body is too plain, and there is no momentum to return after a great victory."
Chu Yuan smiled and said, "Speaking nonsense, whose emperor has to rely on his clothes to be powerful?"
"I don't understand, but Sixi said that this is the rule in the palace." Duan Baiyue helped him stand up straight, "Besides, he was seriously injured, and his face has not been very good recently. Wearing this white gauze again, he looked a little nervous. thin."
"It's thinness in front of you alone." Chu Yuan tapped the bridge of his nose, "Silly."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
"Your Majesty." Xue Huaiyue stepped forward and saluted, "We are almost there."
Chu Yuan nodded and turned to board the deck.
Duan Baiyue coughed twice, and took a few steps to keep up - she had to help herself just now, why is she walking so fast this time. Sixi held her clothes in the room for a long time, and didn't wait for the two to come back, but suddenly there were gongs and drums and cheers outside, she was shocked, and ran out to take a look. Many times, why did the lord still not bring the emperor back, the dragon robe and the golden crown are still here, and they went ashore in white clothes.
"Your Majesty!" Feng Chen knelt down and said happily, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, I have returned with a great victory!"
"Be flat." Chu Yuan said, "This Guan Haicheng looks much richer than before. Aiqing has worked hard all these years."
"Your Majesty's reputation, these are all within the responsibility of the ministers." Feng Chen got up and said, "The people in the city have prepared wine on their own initiative to wash away the dust for my generals in Great Chu."
The city gate opened wide, and the word "Guan Hai" was faintly glowing in the sunlight, reflecting the boundless blue sea and sky. The light and shadow flowed and it was magnificent. On both sides of the road, the people were all beaming with joy, rushing to shove food into the hands of the Great Chu soldiers, and by the way, they glanced at the emperor. Although I don’t know why I didn’t wear a dragon robe, I was dressed in white and was gorgeous and handsome, with slightly pursed lips. , a little less iron-blooded slaughter, a little more easy-going fireworks, no horses and sedan chairs, just so slowly walking down the main street, occasionally turning his head slightly, whispering and laughing with the King of Southwest who was with him, a pair of dark Eyes are more beautiful than the stars.
So all the unmarried girls in the city blushed.
want to marry.
If you can't marry the emperor, you can marry the king of the southwest.
Duan Yao walked from the street to the end of the street, and Shao said in her arms was stuffed with more than a dozen handkerchiefs, and there were flowers hanging around her neck, which were fragrant and made her brain hurt.
…
After resting for two days in Guanhai City, the army set off again and went straight to Dali.
In the early morning of this day, Aunt Jin called everyone in the entire Southwest Mansion, and checked all the corners and corners, for fear that the next poisonous insect would be missed and hidden, which would scare the emperor.
"Here, come! The lord has brought the emperor back!" The army was still a mile away, and someone had already rushed back to the palace to report the news. The people on the street were naturally lively, but no matter how lively they were, they couldn't compare to the lively Southwest Mansion. - The firecrackers were crackling, and they didn't stop for a moment. First, it was for the emperor. After all, the new daughter-in-law had to set off firecrackers when she got home. Second, it was also for Master Nan, to drive away evil spirits and wake up early to drink wedding wine.
The sedan chair was carried all the way from outside the city to the palace of the southwest king. The people were very disappointed. I heard that everyone in Guanhai City could be seen by the emperor, so why didn't we.
"Put me down!" Chu Yuan couldn't help laughing, pulling at his ears and shaking.
"I haven't entered the house yet, so I'm not allowed to show it to others." Duan Baiyue took his hand and locked it in his arms, until the sedan chair landed steadily, and then he took it out holding hands.
"Aunt Jin." Chu Yuan pulled his hand back hard.
"I'm tired all the way, go back to the room and rest." Aunt Jin smiled happily and stepped forward to pull him, "Don't be too tired."
Chu Yuan said: "I want to send Senior Nan back to the ice room first."
"Want to go to the back mountain? That can't be done. There is also a hundred wormholes of Yao'er in the back mountain. They are all wet poisonous mist. You are injured and it is not suitable to go there." Aunt Jin patted his hand, "Be obedient, leave this matter to the prince and the little prince."
Chu Yuan looked back at Duan Baiyue.
"Listen to Auntie." Duan Baiyue waved, "I will come to accompany you after I send Master to the ice room."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Who wants you to accompany.
The Southwest Palace was built quite large. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, everything was built according to the style of the Wangcheng Palace, but a small courtyard was left alone. It was a small building unique to Southwest China. Step on it cool.
Aunt Jin took him into the small courtyard, and then greeted the servants to bring up the fruit and snacks, and just then left with a smile, Chu Yuan also smiled, he liked it very much, there was no three times and nine bows, just like a family, talking and drinking tea .
After a while, Si Xi opened the bead curtain and glanced in, and saw Chu Yuan lying on a soft chair with half a blanket over him, already deep asleep.
It's really home, so at ease. Si Xi happily sat back and continued to drink the aged Pu'er tea.
The rest of the people were placed in other courtyards. Ye Jin dragged Shen Qianfeng and walked around the southwest mansion for a long time without finding any insects. After asking later, he found out that he was afraid of scaring the emperor, so they all hid for a while. Heart congestion. Wen Liunian was very happy, because he was afraid of insects. He thought he would have to walk around on tiptoes carefully to avoid spiders, scorpions, poisonous centipedes, but he didn't expect it to be very clean and bright, and there was even a scent on the sheets.
"It will take a while for dinner. I'll go to the street to buy you some snacks?" Zhao Yue asked.
Wen Liunian nodded: "Okay."
Zhao Yue rubbed his head, turned and left the mansion and went to the street. The owner of the shop saw that he came out of the prince's mansion. , Immediately, countless sugar cakes, fried pork, and glutinous rice were forced in, and they couldn't be pushed away.
Zhao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After thanking him, he returned to the house with a lot of food. Thinking that Wen Liunian wouldn't be able to finish eating, he went to several nearby courtyards to share some, and at last there were only a few packets of flower cakes left. He pushed open a courtyard door and saw Chu Yuan standing under the tree.
"... Your Majesty." Zhao Yue apologized, "I'm disturbing you."
"Anything?" Chu Yuan turned around, "Come in."
"Go to the street to buy some snacks for Xiao Liuzi." Zhao Yue put a package of cakes on the stone table, "Have something fresh."
"Thank you." Chu Yuan smiled, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "It's hard work."
Zhao Yue took the teacup, raised his head and drank it: "Then I'll go back."
Chu Yuan nodded and watched him leave the courtyard, and Duan Baiyue just happened to come back.
"Is Master Nan ready?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Well." Duan Baiyue took his hand and sat down, "Yao'er is cleaning up his pile of worms. When the back mountain stops, I will take you to see the master."
"Okay." Chu Yuan handed him his tea cup, "Have a drink, it's not bad."
"Of course it's not bad, this is a piece of old stuff I've been hiding for many years." Duan Baiyue said, "What is the master of Zhao just now doing?"
"Send some snacks, say it's fresh." Chu Yuan continued to pour tea for him, "Why do you see me?"
"Can I... ask something?" Duan Baiyue probed.
"Speak." Chu Yuan nodded.
"When you were in Xingzhou, you asked A Li and Yunzhi to go to the back mountain to try the organ?" Duan Baiyue held his hand, "Is that so?"
The corner of Chu Yuan's mouth curved, and he looked up at him: "I won't tell you."
Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows: "Huh?"
"Here, have some snacks." Chu Yuan handed the flower cake to his mouth.
Duan Baiyue took a bite, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Toothache sweet.
Chu Yuan didn't mind, leaning on the soft chair under the shade of the tree, holding the remaining half of the snack and eating slowly, leisurely and lazy.
After a while, Duan Nian sent another letter, saying that it was just sent from the East China Sea.
"Senior Yun?" Chu Yuan sat up.
"Well." Duan Baiyue took out the letter and swept it hastily before saying, "Those rebels on Chaoya Island can't get into the eyes of the Yun family army at all, and they broke through with little effort a few months ago. Also, Senior Yun said thank you for your kindness, since the court wants to send it, he will accept Chaoya Island."
Chu Yuan smiled and said, "So refreshing?"
"I said long ago that gods also need to drink water to eat." Duan Baiyue handed him the letter, "Besides, the East China Sea is calm now, at least there will be no more bandit troubles in the past 100 years, and the imperial court will not drag him to fight again, there is no worries about the future. , of course there is no reason to hide from the world."
"That's the best way." Chu Yuan leaned in his arms, "By the way, there is something else."
"What?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"When we attacked the East China Sea earlier, Wen Aiqing and Xiao Ye couldn't convince Senior Yun and the Yuwei people to help. Why did you have to?" Chu Yuan said, "You said, tell me the reason after the war."
"That's it?" Duan Baiyue wrapped his arms around his waist, "When I was in the North Palace, Senior Xuantian once said that the Xuanming Cold Iron 80% was stolen by the master from the old immortal Han Ming. However, the fishtail clansmen At that time, he said that Xuanminghan Iron was originally from the Fishtail Clan, and Senior Yun also asked me where I got this sword."
"Little Jinzi's grandfather is related to the Yuwei people?" Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Baiyue nodded: "I didn't know it at the time, so I only promised to help King Daming find the owner of this sword in exchange for the fishtail clan to help fight."
"Just because of this? Then why can't you tell me earlier." Chu Yuan was puzzled.
Duan Baiyue said calmly: "Well."
Chu Yuan continued to lean against his arms, without turning his head, he grabbed his ear with his backhand, stretched his voice and said lazily, "Speak."
"At the beginning, Senior Yun didn't believe you." Duan Baiyue said, "When there was a previous emperor, he had a lot of opinions about the royal people. So I told him that you have no intention of being the emperor, just want to Settle down the four seas early, and then go home with me to marry, if he wants, he wants to move the whole East China Sea."
Chu Yuan's eyes widened: "You just gave away the entire East China Sea?"
"I didn't give it!" Duan Baiyue quickly explained, "I know that senior won't want it, so I just said it casually."
Chu Yuan turned to look at him and said casually
Duan Baiyue: "..."
The courtyard is quiet.
After a while, Chu Yuan said, "Queen of the prodigal family."
Duan Baiyue said: "Oh."
"In the future, you can stay in An An Shengsheng and embroider in the harem." Chu Yuan straightened his hair for him, "Good."
Duan Baiyue reached out and poked his waist.
"Hey!" Chu Yuan slapped him, "The emperor is exhorting... Four hi!"
Duan Baiyue pressed him under him, peeled off half of his shirt, and lowered his head to place a kiss on his shoulder.
Sixi peeked at the crack of the courtyard door, and quickly stood up straight again, but didn't hear it.
"Hurry up." Chu Yuan squeezed his face with both hands.
"I haven't touched you for a few months, what kind of urgency is this." Duan Baiyue arranged his clothes for him and put them on his lap. "If you don't take care of your body, the queen will be out of the wall."
Chu Yuan looked disgusted: "Oh."
"One more kiss." Duan Baiyue said, "Then I asked the tailor to measure the size, and the wedding dress will be changed within two days."
Chu Yuan said casually: "In such a hurry?"
"Yes." Duan Baiyue kissed the tip of his nose, "because we will get married in three days."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Chu Yuan said: "How long?"
Duan Baiyue held his hands and said word by word, "Three, Heaven, Empress."
