Pei Minxue stepped forward and helped the General of the North up.

Pei Minxue reassured the general: "The climate in the capital is good. When Shang Huai gets married and has children in the future, the children can stay with their parents and enjoy their company."

The General Who Guards the North is a smart man, and he quickly understood.

"I'm still in relatively good health and can stay in the north for a few more years. In the future, I'll be going back to Beijing to retire."

Xiao Chengci disagreed, saying, "Wouldn't that be perfect? ​​Then the General can enjoy his retirement and be surrounded by his grandchildren."

The General of the North said helplessly, "The North is a wild and desolate place. Even if Shang Huai gets married and has children in the future, the children will definitely have to be sent back to the capital to be raised, so that they won't be like their father."

And that was how the matter was settled.

The rebellion of Shang Huai should be treated as if it never happened.

The General of the Northern Garrison returned the imperial pardon to the royal family, and Shang Huai's grandparents returned to the capital to live out their retirement.

It's called retirement care, but in reality, it's just a disguised form of taking someone hostage.

After seeing off the General of the North, Pei Minxue dusted off the dust on his body.

"Your Highness, when shall we depart for the capital?"

Where's Zhizhi?

“She must be taking care of Shang Huai.” Pei Minxue pressed, “Your Highness, when shall we return to the capital?”

Xiao Chengci got up and walked outside: "I'm going to check on her."

Pei Minxue followed behind Xiao Chengci, saying, "Your Highness, Your Highness."

Xiao Chengci ran like the wind towards Shang Huai's courtyard.

The air in Shang Huai's room was too bloody, so he opened the doors and windows.

The charcoal fire inside was burning brightly, so there was no need to worry about catching a cold.

Pei Zhi was lying by Shang Huai's bedside, talking to him. The two of them were laughing and joking, looking very intimate.

Pei Minxue caught up and saw His Highness standing at the door, not going in.

Pei Minxue stood on tiptoe and saw the scene inside the room.

Pei Minxue thought that His Highness would be angry.

As a result, Xiao Chengci just stood at the door for a while, then turned around and left, almost causing Pei Minxue to lose his way.

Has Your Highness changed your ways?

Seeing such a thrilling scene, His Highness did nothing?

"I wish to stay in the North a little longer."

Pei Minxue hesitated, "But we keep receiving letters from the capital, and... if Your Highness continues to stay, it will make everyone in the Zhenbei Army uneasy."

Although His Highness the Crown Prince clarified that there was no detention and no treason.

But the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army all knew that Shang Huai truly harbored rebellious intentions.

Although I don't know why, in the end, it turned into a misunderstanding.

But the fact that Crown Prince Xiao Chengci is still not leaving makes people uneasy.

"All land under heaven belongs to the king; I can live wherever I want."

Pei Minxue carefully advised, "That's true, Your Highness, but you haven't..."

“Moreover,” Pei Minxue gritted his teeth, “to be frank, Your Highness is only making things difficult for yourself by staying here.”

Watching Pei Zhi take care of the injured Shang Huai every day, isn't she just asking for trouble? Why go to such lengths?

Xiao Chengci pursed his lips and said, "I am happy to."

"I am happy as long as I can see her."

Pei Minxue couldn't help but ask, "Even seeing her so intimately with other men, Your Highness..."

Xiao Chengci, enraged and embarrassed, said, "Shut up."

Pei Minxue dared not say anything more. He had figured it out: His Highness only lost his temper in front of him.

In front of Pei Zhi, he now appears to be a coward.

Pei Zhi was blocked by Pei Minxue as soon as she came out of Shang Huai's house.

"Please help me, please persuade His Highness to return to the capital. I beg you."

"His Highness's staff write to me every day; there are many things to do at the Eastern Palace."

"The memorial service for the late emperor is coming soon, and Your Highness needs to preside over it."

"His Majesty and the Empress were very worried when they learned that His Highness was ill."

Pei Minxue talked on and on, and Pei Zhi got a headache listening to him.

"Alright, I understand. I'm heading back to Beijing soon."

"You're going back too? That's wonderful!" Pei Minxue breathed a sigh of relief. "But what are you going back for?"

Pei Zhi said calmly, "If I don't go back soon, I'm afraid my husband will worry about me."

"Wait a minute." Pei Minxue raised his hand and picked at his ear. "What did you just say? My lord? What lord?"

"Oh." Pei Zhi seemed to remember something. "I forgot to tell you, I got married."

Pei Minxue took two steps back, the shock on his face was genuine.

"You should have met him before; he's this year's top scorer, Lu Xiuyuan."

Pei Minxue might initially think that Pei Zhi was joking.

Pei Zhi's description was so detailed and vivid that she could even name the people.

Pei Minxue knew that this matter was almost certainly true.

Pei Minxue counted the days on his fingers, "From the time you faked your death and left, it hasn't even been eight months, and you've already gotten married?"

When he got excited, Pei Minxue's voice cracked.

"How can you, a young woman, handle such an important part of your life so casually?"

No wonder Pei Minxue was so agitated.

In wealthy families, the first step in marriage is to meet the prospective bride.

After both families have found someone they like, they will talk for three to six months.

Then comes the engagement. After the engagement, a year must pass before the wedding can take place.

It is common for families to observe a three-year mourning period in the event of a death in the family.

Pei Zhi was quite straightforward; at this hour, she found herself a husband.

"You shouldn't doubt my judgment; he's the new top scorer."

Pei Minxue sighed deeply, "You just have such good taste!"
