Chapter 209 The Prince and Princess, a Match Made in Heaven

General Wang, who was waiting at the door with Prince Chang'an, heard this and silently raised his hand to touch his nose.

He really couldn't hold back his laughter.

Prince Chang'an is usually such a serious and decisive person, why does he become so clingy in front of the princess?

This is probably what it means when a short separation makes the heart grow fonder.

When Chunzhi and Huo Zheng walked in together, she saw General Wang touching his nose and lowering his head, and she knew that he was smiling.

Fortunately, no one else was around, she thought. As she passed by General Wang, she said to him, "My wife is back too. She's in the carriage."

General Wang quickly responded, "Yes, I am also waiting for you here, Madam."

As he spoke, he took two steps forward.

Mrs. Wang happened to walk out of the carriage at this moment. Seeing her own general coming forward, she thought that he had come to his senses after seeing how much Prince Chang'an loved the princess, so she stood in front of the carriage waiting for him to come forward to help.

As a result, General Wang took two steps forward and then stood there motionless.

Mrs. Wang coughed twice and signaled General Wang with her eyes, "Come and help me!"

But General Wang not only didn't understand, but frowned and asked her in a rough voice: "Madam, what's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold from being exposed to the cold wind too much? Or did you get sand in your eyes?"

"You big, rough fellow!" Mrs. Wang scolded him angrily, "I told you to come and help me, so come here!"

"Just tell me. We're an old married couple, so just tell me what you want to do!"

When General Wang heard this, he knew that she must be envious of Prince Chang'an's thoughtfulness towards the princess, so he immediately stepped forward and helped his wife down.

Mrs. Wang and General Wang had been married for over twenty years, and it was a rare moment for him to be so considerate. As they walked towards the mansion, she said, "How can what I'm saying be the same as you taking the initiative? Forget it. You've been a rough man your whole life. How can I expect you to learn from the Prince of Chang'an?"

Here, the old couple entered the house together. Chunzhi and Huo Zheng in front had already passed through the corridor and arrived at the courtyard.

On the day of the great defeat of the Xiling people and the rebels, Huo Zheng had ordered a banquet to celebrate Jiang Hao's great achievement in beheading the rebel leader Cao Jing. However, the soldiers pursued the Xiling people all night, and Jiang Hao also took the surrendered rebels to wipe out the remaining forces, so the celebration banquet was delayed until tonight.

The kitchen had been busy for a long time, but the ingredients were limited, so they used the only poultry in the city, slaughtered chickens and ducks, fished in the river, and caught wild game in the mountains to make up tonight's banquet, which was quite sumptuous.

When Huo Zheng and Chunzhi walked into the main hall, a group of generals and officials had already arrived and were talking loudly about the events of the past two days.

"Earlier, those Xiling people relied on their 200,000-man army to suppress our soldiers and their arrogance was so great. Now that our 200,000 Black Feather Cavalry have arrived, and our numbers are evenly matched, do the Xiling people dare to fight?"

"The Xiling people didn't dare to fight head-on. They ran faster than rabbits!"

"General Shao led his men in pursuit all night, but they couldn't catch up!"

Everyone was talking excitedly when they saw the Prince and Princess Chang'an enter. They immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty and Princess!"

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

As Huo Zheng spoke, he took Chunzhi's hand and walked to the main seat. Just as he was about to reach out to untie his cloak, he saw Chunzhi reaching out to him, untying the belt, and handing the cloak to the maid beside him.

Huo Zheng curled his lips slightly and sat down with Chunzhi.

In the main hall, the lights were bright and the brazier was warming the room.

Compared to the cold outside where the snow is melting, it's like two completely different worlds.

Gu Yuanjia, Mu Kaiji and others were present. Civil and military officials from Xizhou gathered together. Some of them had never seen the Princess of Chang'an, and were very curious about the beloved wife of the Prince of Chang'an who was passed down by their colleagues. When their eyes fell on Chunzhi, they were full of inquiry.

When Chunzhi first married Huo Zheng, she was often stared at by the royal relatives at palace banquets, but most of those people did it covertly, while those people from Xizhou were more direct.

However, Chunzhi is no longer the little girl who gets shy when people look at her a few more times. She faces these gazes calmly with a faint smile on her face, neither arrogant nor pretentious, but gentle and calm.

Before meeting Princess Chang'an, some officials from Xizhou had expressed their regret for Prince Chang'an. As the adopted son of the Queen and a prince whom the Emperor valued very much, he would most likely conquer the world in the future. If Prince Chang'an could marry a wife who could give him support, his path to supremacy would certainly be smoother.

But Huo Zheng, who never makes mistakes in anything he does, seems to have been drugged when it comes to getting married. Even if Mu Chunzhi is as beautiful as a city, she can't be so confused!

Until they met the legendary Princess Chang'an in Xizhou.

After hearing the news of King Chang'an's death, she did not seek death, but left the capital overnight and traveled thousands of miles to Xizhou.

When the war was raging in Xizhou, the princess did not flee or hide, but directly rescued the wounded soldiers under the city wall.

She and the Prince of Chang'an were truly a young couple, sharing life and death.

There are many people in this world who are tempted by beauty, greedy for fame and fortune, and can only share wealth but not hardships. It is really rare to find someone like Chunzhi who has a sincere and genuine heart.

Not to mention, the Prince of Chang'an was making plans outside, while the princess quietly set up a tent to provide porridge to the refugees.

Who can say they are not a perfect match?

Who dares to say that Mu Chunzhi is not worthy of Prince Chang'an?

Those who previously thought that Prince Chang'an was crazy and insisted on marrying Mu Chunzhi silently slapped themselves twice in their hearts.

Prince Chang'an has a keen eye for talent and excellent vision.

Huo Zheng glanced at everyone present and knew what they were thinking. He smiled, poured Chunzhi a cup of hot tea, and asked, "Why hasn't Jiang Hao come yet?"

When Jiang Hao was mentioned, the generals were filled with displeasure and started to speak:

"The prince prepared a banquet for him the night before to celebrate his great achievements, but he ended up leading the rebels to wipe out the remaining forces and hasn't returned yet!"

"I think he's very ambitious. He clearly pretended to surrender that night because he saw the situation wasn't right. Now I don't know where he is with his rebels, plotting another uprising!"

"Your Highness, Jiang Hao is a man who can kill his own adoptive father without a second thought. He is ruthless and cunning. We must be on our guard!"

Huo Zheng naturally knew that Jiang Hao was not a good general, but for now, the rebels still needed Jiang Hao to be recruited and controlled. He showed nothing on his face and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Hao has led the rebels to surrender to the court. From now on, he and the generals will be colleagues. Don't say such things again in the future."

"Your Highness..." Shao Feiyang wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Huo Zheng's eyes.

Gu Yuanjia said at the right moment: "Now that the war has subsided, everyone should first think about how to solve the problem of food and medicine shortage in Xizhou."

Huo Zheng said: "Yuan Jia's words make sense."

As soon as Master Gu raised this difficult question, the attention of everyone present was immediately diverted.

However, at this moment, the soldiers outside the door loudly reported: "Your Highness, Jiang Hao has returned and is asking to see you outside!"
