Chapter 320: Journey Thousand Miles Away to Achieve Grand Vision
When Chunzhi heard this, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Madam Mu paused and whispered to her, "Child, why are you thinking about getting married again before you even get married?"
Song Wan'er smiled and said, "Make plans early."
As she spoke, she reached out and took Xiaoxing back, weighed him, and teased him, "You think about your aunt every day, you know?"
Xiaoxing blinked her big eyes and bit Song Wan'er's chin, leaving a saliva mark.
Song Wan'er shouted helplessly and amusedly, "You spit all over my face again!"
Chunzhi reached out to take Xiaoxing back and hold him in her arms, but Song Wan'er refused to let go. She whispered, "Let me hold him for a while longer. When we meet next time, he'll probably be too grown up to let me hold him."
The Thirteenth Princess seemed to say the same thing.
These two people are really good friends, even their ideas are so similar.
Chunzhi felt a little sour in the tip of her nose when she heard this, so she let Song Wan'er hold Xiaoxing and tease him.
Beside them, Song Anlan was being pulled by Shao Feiyang to toast Huo Zheng, and everyone couldn't help but say a word or two.
When it was Song Anlan's turn, he said, "Song Mou still said the same thing. If His Majesty has any instructions, Song Mou will do it without hesitation."
Huo Zheng nodded at him and said gently, "You are Chunzhi's brother, and therefore my brother. If you are in trouble, please send a message to Xizhou. Even if I am thousands of miles away, I will protect you."
"I've taken note of what Your Majesty said."
Song Anlan bowed in thanks.
General Shao was the first to offer Huo Zheng a glass of wine, but he waited until everyone had finished speaking before speaking. "They've already finished speaking. I have only a sincere heart. I won't say much; my feelings are all in the wine. I hope Your Highness will drink this farewell wine and have a smooth journey to Xizhou, establishing a career and bringing peace to the people."
Even though he was chosen by the Princess of Xizhou and became the unlucky guy in everyone's eyes, Shao Feiyang's eyes were still bright.
The young general who became famous at a young age should have returned to the barracks and soared freely like an eagle in the sky, but now he is trapped in the capital because of a marriage.
In this dynasty, the consort of a princess is not allowed to hold real power, so ambitious and talented people are unwilling to marry a princess.
The situation of Shao Feiyang marrying the Princess of Xiling was more complicated than that of Shang's own princess. Ye Ninglan came to Daxing to marry, which was equivalent to being a hostage.
After Shao Feiyang married her, he could no longer lead troops, and could not even leave the capital. The emperor would be suspicious of him, suspecting that he was instigated by Princess Xiling to rebel. The emperor might even have some considerations and let Shao Feiyang marry Ye Ninglan and keep him in the capital in order to control the Shao family.
As soon as the young general showed his talent, his wings were bound and he became a trapped beast in a huge cage.
Huo Zheng looked at Shao Feiyang and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Shao Feiyang was well aware of his situation, but he did not complain about himself. When he met Huo Zheng's gaze, he still smiled brightly.
Because he knew that the current situation was only temporary.
One day, King Chang'an will return to the capital and change the sun and moon into a new sky.
By then, the situation of these people will change.
And that day is in the near future.
Among the people who came to see him off, the appearance of Liu Yanliu Tanhua was the most unexpected to Huo Zheng.
Huo Zheng had no interactions with Liu Tanhua on a daily basis. Although he knew that this person was extremely talented and literary, the main reason he paid attention to him was because Huo Yanran admired him.
Liu Yan usually doesn't get too close to anyone, and shows no signs of siding with any prince. He has a bit of the shadow of Mu Qingshan when he was young. Some people even say that being a lone minister may be a unique trait of the third place winner in the imperial examination of this dynasty.
Liu Tanhua appeared here at this time, and was hesitant to speak. When Huo Zheng was about to thank him for seeing him off -
Liu Yan raised his glass first and said, "I urge you to drink the wine in your cup, and then we can go a thousand miles to realize our ambitions."
The jade-like scholar who was the third in the imperial examination did not add any icing on the cake, but at this moment and place, he presented a glass of farewell wine. He opened his mouth, and every word was worth a thousand pieces of gold, and his feelings were hidden in it.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone raised their glasses and said in unison, "I urge you to drink up the wine in your cup, and then go a thousand miles to pursue your ambitions!"
"Thank you very much." Huo Zheng drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, turned the empty bowl upside down to show everyone, and said with a smile: "Good wine."
Everyone drank up the wine in their cups and bowls. There was no sign of disappointment on the face of King Chang'an, and neither of them had any sad expressions, as if this was just an ordinary short separation.
Huo Zheng spoke to the crowd for a few words before saying, "The sun is strong outside the city. Everyone, please return to the city early. The prince and the princess will be leaving soon."
Chunzhi took Xiaoxing from Song Wan'er's arms, but before she could even warm him up, Huo Zheng took him away.
Xiaoxing curled up in his father's arms and found the most comfortable position.
Chunzhi said to everyone gently, "Let's go back."
Someone responded: "Yes."
Someone responded: "Okay."
But no one left first, and everyone remained standing where they were.
Huo Zheng walked towards the carriage with Chunzhi and raised his hand to help her into the carriage.
The sun shone on the ancient road of Changting, and the wind swayed the branches. Before Chunzhi entered the carriage, she looked back and saw Song Wan'er standing not far away waving at her, with Madam Mu's eyes full of earnestness.
"Let's go back."
Chunzhi's eyes also welled up with tears. She waved at them before turning and entering the carriage.
Huo Zheng carried Xiao Xing back inside, sat with Chun Zhi, and told the driver outside, "Let's go."
"yes."
The driver immediately whipped his whip to spur his horse, the steed raised its hooves, the wheels rolled, and the horse drove away from the pavilion under the gaze of everyone.
Chunzhi lifted the curtain and looked back at her mother and the others, unwilling to leave, but always having to leave.
Little Xing didn't know that he was going to a very far place. He watched the people outside the carriage getting farther and farther away. He thought it was very funny and waved his little arms and smiled at his grandmother and the others.
"Sister..." Song Wan'er couldn't help shedding tears and wiped her eyes with her sleeves.
Madam Mu also covered her lips with a handkerchief, as if trying hard not to lose her composure in front of others.
Tears welled up in Chunzhi's eyes, her vision became increasingly blurred, and she couldn't help but sniff.
Seeing this, Huo Zheng whispered in Chunzhi's ear: "If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in."
Chunzhi was fine when she was talking to her mother and Wan'er just now, but now she couldn't help herself. When she heard what Huo Zheng said, she felt even more sad and tears were about to burst out. Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses came from behind.
Jiang He, who was following the carriage, stepped forward to report, "Your Highness and Princess, a carriage is catching up with us!"
Huo Zheng held Xiao Xing in one hand and lifted the car curtain with the other. "Who's coming?"
Jiang He replied, "It's the carriage from the Ninth Prince's Mansion."
Huo Zheng raised his hand to signal the guards to let them pass, and then ordered the coachman to stop.
The guards were ordered to disperse, and the carriage that was chasing them from behind was able to move forward and stop next to the carriage where Huo Zheng was.
The man lifted the carriage curtain, revealing a handsome face that was slightly pale. It was the ninth prince Huo Yan.
When Chunzhi saw the person coming, her tears disappeared all of a sudden.
Why is this guy chasing me instead of staying at home to recuperate?
Huo Zheng was quite surprised to see Huo Yan appear here, but he didn't show it on his face. He curled his lips and said, "So, Ninth Brother is so reluctant to leave me. He's been through so much injury and illness that he's almost dead, yet he still dragged his sick body to see me off?"
