Chu Jinghuai settled the army outside the city and entered the city with a small group of people.
As soon as he entered the city, the people lined the streets to welcome him. There were people on both sides, and everyone shouted "Long live the prince."
The people also knew that Chu Jinghuai left Qingzhou City to attack Beizhao and destroyed the Beizhao army.
Ye Nandie rode her horse and slowly followed behind Chu Jinghuai. Seeing the people welcoming the hero's return, a smile appeared on her lips.
She had known this man for seven years. At that time, he was not Prince Su, but just an unpopular prince.
From the moment she saw him, she had decided on him. The moment he stepped onto the ring, his slender figure and eyes revealing a kind of determination and courage that no one else possessed, she fell hopelessly in love with him.
Later, when he came to kidnap her, no one knew how happy she was when she found out it was him. From then on, she and Chu Jingli secretly followed him and watched him go to the battlefield.
Having witnessed him create miracles on the battlefield and being besieged several times, she still believed that he could win. He did not disappoint her expectations. His reputation rose and he gradually became the King of Su and the God of War of Daxia.
Ye Nandie thought silently in her heart that she had been with him for so many years, going through ups and downs, and she was the one most qualified to stand by his side and share this splendor and glory.
This is her man, and she wants to watch him step by step walk towards the supreme throne and become a monarch.
Chen Jingxi stood in front of the prefect's mansion, and her eyes were immediately attracted by Chu Jinghuai riding on a tall horse, and an irrepressible joy rose in her heart.
The next second, when he saw Ye Nandie following behind Chu Jinghuai, his expression couldn't help but darken slightly, and a hint of gloom flashed in his originally bright eyes.
Zhou Peichuan stood aside, his eyes coldly fixed on the woman behind Chu Jinghuai, and he snorted coldly.
His daughter Xier worked very hard to help defend Qingzhou City, and he was working tirelessly, but he was out having fun. No wonder he took ten days to come back.
His Zhou family was a military family, and they knew that conquering a city would bring gold, silver, jewelry, and women as spoils of war. However, their family had its own set of rules. A man could only take a concubine if he was childless by the age of forty.
Therefore, the men of the Zhou family fought on the battlefield for many years, but they never brought back wild women, let alone took concubines.
Only his aunt married into the Chen family, but who knew Chen Qiyuan was such an ungrateful guy. Less than a year after marrying his aunt, he took a concubine.
Because of this incident, everyone in the Zhou family disliked Chen Qiyuan, their son-in-law and uncle. However, his aunt was deeply in love with Chen Qiyuan and liked him very much.
Now, this Chu Jinghuai seemed to be the same kind of bastard as his father-in-law, a complete bastard. His Xier had just become pregnant, and this bastard couldn't wait to bring a woman back home, which made him so angry.
Chu Jinghuai saw the beautiful figure from afar. Her long black hair was loosely tied up, with a few strands of hair hanging down around her fair neck. A transparent jade hairpin was pinned in her hair.
Her big round eyes were wide open, her cheeks flushed, just like the peach blossoms that had just opened, so beautiful and charming. Although the girl's childishness had not yet completely faded, she put on an arrogant and domineering look.
Chu Jinghuai looked at her and felt that his princess was more and more adorable, but he didn't realize that Chen Jingxi was a little angry at the moment.
"Princess." Chu Jinghuai swiftly dismounted from his horse, a smile on his face as he strode towards her.
Chen Jingxi, however, acted as if she hadn't noticed him, not even bothering to glance at him. She simply cast her gaze at Ye Nandie behind him and asked in a calm yet probing tone, "Madam Ouyang, when did you arrive in Qingzhou?"
Ye Nandie lowered her head slightly and replied softly, "Just now."
Chen Jingxi glanced at Chu Jinghuai and said with a half-smile, "What a coincidence! The prince just entered the city as well. Did you two come back together?"
Ye Nandie's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked at Chu Jinghuai, her eyes full of help. She didn't want Chen Jingxi to know that she was here because she was caught in the Beizhao camp for treason.
However, Chu Jinghuai was so confused about why Chen Jingxi had ignored him that he didn't even notice Ye Nandie's pleading eyes. He turned to look at Zhou Peichuan, and hinted with his eyes: Is my princess in a bad mood?
Zhou Peichuan just looked him up and down, his eyes full of disgust, then turned his head away and stopped looking at him.
Chu Jinghuai was filled with doubts, secretly wondering what Zhou Peichuan's eyes were. He raised his hand and touched his beard, which had not been shaved for three days. He thought that his appearance must be too sloppy, so his princess ignored him.
Once this woman becomes pregnant, she changes drastically and starts to get upset the slightest thing that doesn't go her way.
Just as Chu Jinghuai was about to go up to Chen Jingxi and kiss her, a soldier came running over and respectfully asked him to go and handle the matter.
Chen Jingxi stood there, her heart full of confusion. She didn't understand what Chu Jinghuai's intention was in bringing Ye Nandie back.
But no matter what, we can't let them sleep on the streets. After all, the Ouyang family's properties in the northwest region have been confiscated by Chu Jinghuai, and Ye Nandie is now a homeless person.
After arranging accommodation for Ye Nandie, Zhou Peichuan asked, "Xi'er, do you know this person too?"
Chen Jingxi nodded slightly and replied, "She is an old friend of the prince. I have met her several times."
Zhou Peichuan frowned, "Xi'er, you are the princess now. The prince only has you as his wife, and you are pregnant now. Big brother, I saw that Madam Ouyang's eyes looking at the prince are not simple."
A beautiful woman following a hero. Anyone who sees it will think there is something fishy.
The people in the royal family are both heartless and sentimental. The current emperor loves someone else's wife. Although he doesn't know the whole story, he knows that the concubine had a husband before entering the palace, but the emperor still did everything he could to get her into the palace.
Who knows if this Prince Su, who looks like a decent person in front of others, is actually the same as his father.
Chen Jingxi said calmly: "Brother, I know."
Zhou Peichuan sighed and continued, "Xi'er, it's good that you know. I don't mean to alienate the relationship between you and your wife, but...Xi'er, have you ever thought about what will happen after this war is over?"
"What does Big Brother mean?"
"I think the prince will win this war in nine out of ten cases. Once the war is over, the prince will no longer be a prince, he will become the emperor of this world. Xi'er, you also know that the emperor must have three palaces and six courtyards."
Chen Jingxi shook her head slightly. She had indeed never thought about this question before, or perhaps she subconsciously ignored this question and didn't think about it.
