Chapter 587 Ready to Propose Marriage
Chu Jinyan paused while peeling shrimps. Her eyes, as seductive as obsidian, seemed to reveal a deep sorrow: "Xiangxiang, have you forgotten who I am?"
"Ah?" Lu Xiang stared at Chu Jinyan in a daze, not realizing what he meant.
"I am your future husband, but you didn't think of me first when you had something to do."
As he finished speaking, the resentment surrounding Chu Jinyan became even stronger.
Well……
Lu Xiang choked, then quickly put down her chopsticks, hugged his arm, raised her little face and said with a bright smile: "Your Highness, I need your help."
That servile expression was like a ray of scorching sun that hit Chu Jinyan's eyes, causing the corners of his mouth to involuntarily rise slightly.
He raised his chin slightly, his expression noble and proud: "That's more like it."
No one heard the laughter echoing in his chest.
His Xiangxiang is so cute.
"Sheng Xian, please ask Imperial Doctor Zheng to wait at Lu's Mansion." Chu Jinyan ordered outside the door.
"Yes, Your Highness." Sheng Xian replied, turned and left.
When the victorious army was five miles away from the capital, the news spread throughout the capital. After being stunned for a moment, the people cheered and ran to tell each other. Although Changcheng was far away, the lips and teeth would be in the cold. If their soldiers of the Great Wei could not defend their own land, then the war would one day spread to the capital. Now the victory has brought them peace for the people.
"The army is back, the army is back!"
Cheers of joy rang out in the streets and alleys, and countless people spontaneously flocked to the city gate to welcome them.
Half an hour earlier than the Shen time Chu Jinyan had expected, a flag with the word "Wei" appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Under the sunlight, the armor of the soldiers walking in the distance emitted a shining light.
After the trials of the battlefield and the fighting with the enemies, everyone's face was cold and their eyes were sharp.
Qiao Jingru was originally sitting by the window. When she saw General Yi Chen and Marquis Yongyi riding in the front, she suddenly stood up and leaned out of the window. Her excitement made Lu Chaoxin's heart rise to his throat.
"Ancestor, be careful."
Qiao Jingru ignored Lu Chao's exclamation, grabbed the windowsill with both hands, and anxiously searched for Qiao Jingyi in the dense crowd.
Lu Chao carefully stretched out his hand to protect her: "Don't worry, there are so many people here, it's possible that you won't be able to see Fourth Brother."
"Qiao Jingyi is the general now. He won't be with the soldiers at the back. He must be in the front team." At this time, Chu Jinyan's calm voice sounded.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jingru immediately focused her attention and searched among the team in front.
Although he was promoted to general, the ones at the front were General Shen, Marquis Yongyi, the Second Prince and other generals, followed by their deputy generals, and behind the deputy generals were some young generals with military merits.
"Fourth brother is there."
Soon, Qiao Jingru saw Qiao Jingyi among Wu Yangyang's group of armored soldiers.
Compared to before he left Beijing, he looked a lot darker, but his eyes were still bright and clear. Even from such a distance, Qiao Jingru could feel the terrifying brilliance emanating from his eyes.
Lu Chao looked in the direction of Qiao Jingru's finger, but his eyes were blank.
How can you tell who is who among those soldiers wearing hats?
"Now that you have seen Fourth Brother with your own eyes, you should feel relieved now. Come and sit down, sit down." Lu Chao said softly.
However, Qiao Jingru was unwilling to do so. She kept staring at Qiao Jingyi's figure until he slowly walked away from her sight.
Chu Jinyan leaned against the window, touching his chin with one hand, looking thoughtful.
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Xiang asked, looking at his calculating expression.
"I'm thinking about the marriage between Qiao Yuanan and Shen Pin." Chu Jinyan chuckled and said, "General Shen has returned to the capital, and the Qiao family should also prepare and come to propose marriage."
After hearing this, Qiao Jingru withdrew her gaze from Qiao Jingyi and turned to look at Chu Jinyan, and asked respectfully, "I wonder if Your Highness has any advice for me?"
"It's not about giving me advice. When you go to the Shen family, tell me and I'll accompany you."
Qiao Jingru was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground. She said blankly, "This...this...how could the Qiao family be so worthy of such trouble to Your Highness?"
My goodness, my second brother came to propose marriage and asked the eighth prince to accompany him. This scene is so scary.
"We are all family, so don't bother me, or General Shen will make things difficult for you and ruin your brother's marriage."
Chu Jinyan spoke in a serious and upright manner.
Lu Xiang pursed his lips and turned his head away silently, with a silent smile on his lips.
This guy is really something. He clearly took the opportunity to provoke General Shen so as to completely subdue him, but he did it in the name of doing it for Qiao Yuan's safety. Didn't he see the grateful look on the eldest sister-in-law's face, as if she wanted to kneel down and kowtow on the spot?
I always feel that when General Shen returns home and learns about his daughter's marriage to the Qiao family, he will probably faint from anger on the spot knowing that he has been forced to board the Eighth Prince's ship.
"General Shen and the others are going directly to the palace, aren't you going?" Lu Xiang asked Chu Jinyan.
Chu Jinyan reached out and touched her head, saying, "Father is only meeting the commander. The morning court tomorrow will be used to judge the merits and rewards will be given. I will go then. If the reward given to Qiao Jingyi is too little, I will not let it go."
Not only Qiao Jingyi, but also his people.
After this battle, he also gained half of the power in the army.
In front was the Duke of Anguo, and behind was General Shen.
"Your Highness, will my fourth brother come home today?" Qiao Jingru asked.
Chu Jinyan shook his head: "Not necessarily. The soldiers will camp outside the city and return tomorrow after the meritorious service is awarded. If the emperor values them, they may stay in the palace for a few more days."
Qiao Jingru nodded in understanding. Although she felt a little regretful, she couldn't help feeling proud when she thought of her fourth brother's military exploits.
"It's okay if Fourth Brother can't go back for the time being. He's in the capital after all. There's no need to rush for a day or two. Now that you've seen him, can you go back? His Highness has already invited Imperial Physician Zheng, so don't keep him waiting too long." Lu Chao put his arm around Qiao Jingru's shoulders, his voice so gentle that it almost drowned her.
Qiao Jingru's eyes fell on the street outside the window again. Qiao Jingyi's figure had been submerged in the crowd and could not be seen, but her heart was filled with joy at the prospect of reuniting with her fourth brother, so she nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go back right away."
"Sister, Your Highness, we will leave first." Lu Chao pulled Qiao Jingru and said to Lu Xiang and Chu Jinyan with a smile.
Chu Jinyan nodded.
Lu Xiang was just about to say that they wanted to go back together, but her hand was held tightly by someone. Although she didn't say anything, she felt the reluctance from this warm palm.
My heart softened, and the words on my lips turned around and I changed my words to: "Okay."
She couldn't help if she went back, so the sister-in-law felt most at ease with her elder brother by her side. Besides, Doctor Zheng was here to take her pulse and regulate her body, so she didn't need to be too nervous.
