After Madam Shen left, everyone was in a panic. They had just gotten married to Prince Yi, and now they had offended Prince Yi. Not to mention hoping to take advantage of Prince Yi's influence, they were even more afraid that Prince Yi would vent his anger on the Shen family.
Chen Wangqiu knew the inside story and saw it clearly, so he said in a reassuring voice: "Let's leave it at that for today. Don't worry too much. Prince Yi is here to protect Yue'er and won't vent his anger on the Shen family. You can go back first."
After hearing this, everyone in the third house felt relieved. They have always respected the first house and admired Chen Wangqiu. Usually, the first house was in charge of all matters big and small in the family. Since Chen Wangqiu said this, it meant that there must be nothing wrong.
They were originally planning to have lunch together, but after Lu Xingzhou and Shen Liyue left, the eldest wife naturally had no intention of preparing a banquet, so everyone went back to their own rooms to eat.
Shen Weian had asked for leave from his teacher and came back today. The Spring Examination would be held in a few days. Recently, because of the New Year and Shen Liyue's wedding, he had already asked for leave several times. Now that Prince Yi and others had left, Shen Weian also stood up to say goodbye to his parents and returned to the academy.
After everyone left, Jiang was still worried. Her only concern was what Prince Yi would think of the Shen family. Aristocratic families like theirs were most afraid of these complicated family affairs.
Chen Wangqiu comforted her, "Madam, don't worry too much. When I sent them out just now, Prince Yi said that he would bring Yue'er back for lunch tomorrow."
Jiang raised her eyes, tears still hanging on her eyelashes: "Really?"
Chen Wangqiu nodded and said, "Really? Prince Yi was just putting on a show in front of the old lady just now to make her give up the idea of climbing up the Yi Palace. He wasn't really angry with the Shen family."
Jiang said "Amitabha", "That's good, that's good. I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that Yue'er will suffer some grievances in Prince Yi's Mansion..." As Jiang spoke, her heart ached and tears welled up again.
What a sin this is! Prince Yi is such a good child. As a prince, he never puts on airs in front of them. He cares about Chen Liyue in every way, and loves her as well as her family members. He even cares about them, his family members, and prepares gifts for them one by one.
But the Shen family made him suffer like this, and Jiang felt guilty about it.
Chen Wangqiu put his arm around Jiang's shoulders and consoled her, "Prince Yi is a sensible man. Although family disgrace should not be aired in public, Yue'er is married to him and they are now family. Anything between family members should be made public. It's probably a good thing that Prince Yi knows about the discord between the first and second wives."
Chen Wangqiu was originally worried that the Second House would use Chen Liyue's relationship to ask Prince Yi for help, and Prince Yi would be reluctant to refuse due to his relationship with the Shen family. But now it seems that Prince Yi is a man who can clearly distinguish between love and hate and is sensible, so Chen Wangqiu is relieved.
Because he knew his younger brother too well. He knew that his younger brother had no real ability but was very good at getting into trouble. It would be fine to give him an idle official position, but if he really let him hold an important position, he was afraid that something big would happen.
Jiang nodded, feeling much more relaxed when she thought that Prince Yi would come back with Shen Liyue tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Wang Wentian was about to take Wei Rushu back to the northern border.
As a prince, Lu Xingzhou had to represent the court to see them off.
Chen Liyue will also be there, but not as a princess, but as a friend to see Wei Rushu off with Xie Wanting and Lu Yun.
Several people arrived very early, and they only had the opportunity to talk privately before the army set out. Once Lu Xingzhou started talking, they could no longer speak in private.
Chen Liyue and Lu Yun naturally felt uncomfortable. Although they had not been together for a long time, Wei Rushu was a very good person, and they were reluctant to let him go. But the one they were most reluctant to let go of was Xie Wanting.
Because of Wei Ruyuan, Xie Wanting went to Duke Wei's Mansion every few days some time ago. She only stopped going there after Wei Rusu married Wang Wentian and left Duke Wei's Mansion. However, the previous contact also allowed Xie Wanting and Wei Rusu to forge a deep friendship.
Xie Wanting's eyes were red and a little swollen, probably because she had cried at home. Now she was holding Wei Rushu's hand, and tears were about to well up again.
Wei Rushu was reluctant in his heart, but after all, there were so many people around, so he had to force a smile and reached out to scratch the tip of Xie Wanting's nose.
"You're so reluctant to let me go?" Wei Rushu said with a smile, "Then marry into the Wei family as soon as possible and become my sister-in-law."
Xie Wanting chuckled, almost laughing out loud, and wiped it with a handkerchief, saying, "You're still talking about this at this time."
Wei Rushu patted Xie Wanting's shoulder and said, "Well, this day will come. It's not like I won't be back forever. Besides, if you miss me in the future, come visit me in Northern Xinjiang. I heard the scenery there is also very beautiful. When Northern Xinjiang is recovered and once again belongs to Great Chu, I will invite you to visit Northern Xinjiang."
Xie Wanting suddenly looked up, her eyes determined as she said, "That day will come!"
Wei Rushu also said: "Yes, there will definitely be one."
Though women, they knew that every man was responsible for his country's fate. They couldn't fight on the battlefield, but as citizens of the Great Chu, each of them possessed an innate sense of mission. They believed that the Northern Frontier would one day return to the Great Chu, and that soon, they too would be able to visit the Northern Frontier and experience the beauty of the desert.
The marching horn sounded, and the army was about to set off. This time, because he came back for his wedding, Wang Wentian did not bring many people with him, but the emperor sent another 100,000 troops to reinforce the northern border. Wang Wentian also made a vow: he would not return until the northern border was conquered.
Lu Xingzhou stood on the city wall and delivered a passionate speech, wishing the soldiers a speedy and victorious return.
The soldiers shouted "Long live the army" and then the army set out, raising a cloud of dust.
Shen Liyue looked at the backs of the army leaving, feeling deeply moved.
The reason why they can live such a peaceful life in this world is because these border soldiers fight bravely and carry heavy burdens for them on the front line.
Seeing that Shen Liyue was still immersed in such emotions, Lu Xingzhou felt very relieved. His princess should also have the people of the world in her heart.
Lu Xingzhou quickly adjusted his mood, put his arm around Shen Liyue's shoulders, and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, we should go back and change clothes. We still have to go to my parents-in-law's house for dinner."
Shen Liyue hadn't thought about this just now, but when Lu Xingzhou reminded her, she remembered that they were both wearing formal dresses today, and they had to go back to Prince Yi's Mansion to change into casual clothes before returning to the Shen family.
"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go home and change clothes." Shen Liyue said.
When Lu Xingzhou heard Shen Liyue use the word "go home", the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
How nice! He has a home now.
The palace has many strict rules. He is not as close to his father and mother as ordinary people. In addition, he is a man, so naturally he cannot act like a spoiled child in front of his mother like Lu Yun.
Later, after he was conferred the title of prince, he moved out of the palace. Over the years, there were so many people in Prince Yi's mansion, but he always felt that he was alone.
So that is Prince Yi’s Mansion, not home.
But now he has Shen Liyue, and he has a home.
