After dinner, Su Ruojin was called to the room by Madam Su, who asked her if she was used to living in the Regent's Palace and whether Consort Jiang was easy to get along with.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Mrs. Su was completely relieved.
"Xiao Jin, I'm relieved that you're doing well. In a few days, your father, your fifth brother, and A Yue will be going to Yunqi."
Su Ruojin was a little surprised. She guessed that her fifth brother would definitely go with Xing Yue when she returned to Yunqi, but she didn't expect that her parents would also go.
“A-Yue is a good child, and her mother likes her too. Since we want her to marry into the Great Chu, her parents must personally go and propose marriage. We cannot be impolite.”
Come to think of it, General Xing only has one daughter, and he and his wife must be very reluctant to let her go after she is married off to the Great Chu.
The fact that my parents went there also represents the Su family's sincerity.
“Your father and I have discussed it. A-Yue is the only daughter in the family. It would be unfair to General Xing and his wife if she stayed in Da Chu forever. After she marries your fifth brother, she can stay in Da Chu for half a year and go back to Yunqi with your fifth brother to accompany General Xing and his wife for the other half of the year.”
Thinking about it this way, General Xing and his wife are more likely to accept it.
“Mother, I’ll go with you,” Su Ruojin said.
Madam Su laughed, "You silly child, you are now the Regent's wife. How can you leave your husband so soon after getting married? This time we will go back with the Zhao family and Lord Yan. There will be the royal guards of Yunqi, and your father will also bring some trusted men. There will be no trouble."
Su Ruojin thought about it and agreed. "Then, Mother, I'll also prepare some things for you to take to General Xing and Her Majesty the Empress."
"good."
On the way back to the manor, Su Ruojin told Xiao Yanchu about her parents' trip to Yunqi. She said with some concern, "Xing Yue is, after all, the daughter of General Xing of Yunqi. I'm a little worried."
Xiao Yanchu knew that Su Ruojin was worried because the Su family and the Xing family were generals from two different countries, and that if they were to form a marriage alliance, some people might use it to their advantage.
"A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. Besides, Yunqi has now signed a peace and friendly trade agreement with Da Chu. Under these circumstances, if anyone objects, it can be said that they are deliberately undermining the alliance between the two countries. Rest assured, with me here, no one can harm the Su family."
Su Ruojin looked at Xiao Yanchu approvingly, "It seems you didn't drink my father's and brother's wine for nothing."
When the topic of drinking came up, Xiao Yanchu suddenly covered his head and said, "Hey, Jin, my head hurts so much, I think I drank too much."
Su Ruojin watched Xiao Yanchu's performance with a half-smile, "I wonder how Your Highness wishes to sober up?"
"Sigh, if I could lean on A-Jin's lap for a while, I'd be able to sober up quickly." After saying that, Xiao Yanchu didn't care whether Su Ruojin agreed or not, and leaned on her lap, closed his eyes, and pretended to rest.
Su Ruojin smiled slightly, not exposing the situation, and let Xiao Yanchu lean on her like that.
Perhaps it was because he had really drunk a bit too much, and the faint, herbal fragrance emanating from Su Ruojin kept wafting into his nose, which brought him peace of mind.
Xiao Yanchu actually fell asleep.
Su Ruojin reached out and gently supported him, afraid that the swaying of the carriage would disturb his sleep.
She knew that Xiao Yanchu was actually the one who was most exhausted by the wedding.
To give her a glamorous wedding, he gave almost everything he had, leaving nothing behind.
If things are like this, what more could one ask for?
In the days that followed, Xiao Yanchu was busy with official duties, and Su Ruojin would come to keep Zhao Guangtao company whenever she had free time.
Because Zhao Guangtao was going back to Yunqi, the old lady stayed with them in the temporary residence for the time being to spend more time with her brother, since they didn't know when they would see each other again. They would return to the Regent's Palace after he left.
Consort Jiang was quite pleased that the old lady was staying at the Regent's Palace, as it meant she would have another person to chat with.
Yuan Hong stayed at the General's Mansion to study under his first and third masters.
Su Ruojin also took Qinniang to tour the capital of Da Chu, and bought many toys and snacks for Yingzi and Chebao to take back to Yunqi.
Such peaceful days filled Su Ruojin with a sense of happiness. If life could be like this forever, it would be wonderful.
Of course, besides waking up every day with the feeling of a broken back, Su Ruojin just wanted to send Xiao Yanchu to sleep in the side hall.
Xiao Yanchu cleverly massaged Su Ruojin's waist every day, looking ingratiating, which made Su Ruojin feel reluctant to do so.
Xiao Bao is constantly pestering Su Ruojin at home, and Xiao Yanchu has already put sending him to Qingyue Mountain to study on the agenda.
The results of the troop rotation were in. Su Wenzhou was indeed transferred to the Mohan garrison, but unexpectedly, Xiao Chenyi also transferred Wei Xuebin to Mohan as Su Wenzhou's deputy general, who would depart in five days.
That day, Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin had just finished their dinner when Hu Qing came in, looking rather unhappy.
