Chapter 229 Return Home
"Why are you so nervous?"
"You're still talking about me." Chen Yu said, "When you met my grandmother, weren't you also so nervous that you were sweating all over?"
Xie Tingzhou touched her forehead and felt no sweat, which was better than his.
"Does it still hurt?"
Shen Yu frowned and said, “It wouldn’t hurt if you didn’t ask. I was so nervous that I forgot about it, but I remembered it again when you asked.”
Chen Yu's period was seven or eight days late, and it came just two days ago.
Her menstruation has always been irregular, perhaps because of the busy and hard work in the past few months. This time the menstruation was very strong and the pain made her face pale.
Except when she was sick, Xie Tingzhou had never seen her so listless. He found a doctor on the way, but he only said that the disease was incurable and could only be cured slowly during recuperation.
Xie Tingzhou fixed her hair again and said, "Go back and find a doctor to take a look."
Xie Guangzong was getting impatient and kept coughing outside.
"Let's go. If we don't get off now, my father will cough to death." Xie Tingzhou lifted the curtain and got off the carriage, then turned around and took Chen Yu off the carriage.
Xie Guangzong's body, which was originally leaning forward, suddenly sat up straight.
Xie Guangzong was actually nervous too, but as an elder, he wanted to leave a good impression on the first meeting, so he had to keep his composure.
"Chen Yu greets His Majesty." Chen Yu was wearing women's clothing today, so she was performing a woman's blessing ceremony.
Xie Guangzong cleared his throat and said, "No need to be polite. You've been traveling all the way. You've worked hard."
He looked Shen Yu up and down, and the first word that popped into his mind was: beautiful.
It looks about 70% like the portrait, but more lively than the portrait, especially the eyes. The portrait cannot depict such a lively look.
It seems that Madam Lu is much more honest than him.
Xie Tingzhou took a step to the side, just blocking Xie Guangzong's line of sight.
Xie Guangzong was about to start cursing when he remembered that he couldn't let the dignity he had worked so hard to maintain be ruined in an instant.
So he said, "It will take a few more days to reach the capital, but once you enter Beilin, you don't have to hurry. Just walk slowly. I will welcome you to the capital when we get there."
Shen Yu bowed again and was helped into the carriage by Xie Tingzhou.
Xie Guangzong originally had many questions to ask him, but after waiting for a long time and seeing that he didn't come down, he called Changliu over.
"Let me ask you, Changliu, is that your Crown Prince's Consort?"
"Yes." Chang Liu nodded, "The prince brought it back himself, how could there be anything wrong with that?"
Xie Guangzong stroked his beard and said, "Isn't it a woman who can ride a horse and kill the enemy?
"Are you a child? I see how delicate she is, she looks like she could fall down if the wind blows."
Chang Liu didn't understand. The Crown Prince's wife looked a little strange today, so he said honestly, "She is not like this usually. She can really ride a horse and kill the enemy."
Chang Liu just wanted to praise the Crown Prince's Consort as much as possible, so he exaggerated a little, "When we encountered bandits in Jiangzhou, the Crown Prince's Consort killed one of them with one sword, and she could chop a man in half with one sword."
Chang Liu gestured as he spoke, "Just like that, Kuacha - it's in two halves."
Xie Guangzong shuddered, thinking that ordinary people could not afford such a daughter-in-law, who looked so weak and would beat people at any time.
Only someone like Xie Tingzhou, who has a cold and unconventional personality, would not believe this.
He said "Oh" and then asked, "You are later than I expected. What happened? Did you encounter trouble on the way?"
"No, that's because the Crown Princess fell ill on the way."
"What's wrong?"
Chang Liu thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't know, my stomach has been hurting for several days."
Xie Guangzong nodded and roughly guessed it.
His backyard was full of concubines and maids. Twenty-eight days out of thirty days in a month, the concubines would call him to their rooms on the pretext of stomachache.
"And then you stopped?"
Chang Liu said: "The prince wanted to stay in the county for a few days and wait for the princess to recover before setting off again. The princess disagreed, so we slowed down."
"This brat." Xie Guangzong spat, "He doesn't even care about the danger when he has a wife."
Chang Liu defended Xie Tingzhou, "The prince doesn't do anything he is not sure of."
It will be safe once you enter Beilin's territory, and no one will dare to act rashly.
The army camped in the evening and they rested at the post station.
After Xie Tingzhou settled Shen Yu, he went to Xie Guangzong's room.
"father."
Xie Guangzong put down his crossed legs and said, "Here I come."
"How many days have you been waiting for us?"
"Who is willing to wait for you?" Xie Guangzong looked up at the roof. "Two days, if you don't come, I will take my people away."
Xie Tingzhou hummed, and said indifferently: "Next time you lie, it's better to make those tens of thousands of Qingyun Guards speak with one voice. Although it's not easy to implement with so many people, it's better than being exposed in person."
"Hey." Xie Guangzong slapped his thigh, "You know it's embarrassing to expose me, but you still insist on exposing me."
Xie Tingzhou finally smiled, sat down opposite Xie Guangzong, turned over the tea bowl and poured tea for Xie Guangzong.
A cup of tea.
Xie Guangzong waved his hand, "No more drinking, no more drinking. I can't sleep after drinking tea at night when I'm old."
Xie Tingzhou seemed to have never felt the word "old" from Xie Guangzong.
Now if you look closely, you can see that Xie Guangzong has some white hair on his temples.
Xie Tingzhou said, "Father, you have come all the way from the capital. Thank you for your hard work."
Xie Guangzong leaned forward suddenly, which scared Xie Tingzhou. He leaned back and avoided Xie Guangzong's hand that was reaching out to touch his forehead.
"Why are you hiding?" Xie Guangzong said, "I just feel if you are confused due to the fever. This is not something my son can say."
The warmth between the father and son lasted only a moment.
Xie Guangzong thought of the past.
He had many children and had been a father many times before Xie Tingzhou came into being, so Xie Tingzhou's arrival was not much of a surprise to him, it was just an accident.
He was away on military campaigns for many years and neglected to discipline his children, who were raised by their mother and teacher.
Xie Tingzhou is an unexpected child, unexpectedly hardworking, and unexpectedly knows what he wants.
In fact, his physique was more like his mother's, not as strong and sturdy as Xie Guangzong, so he never thought that he could ride a horse to fight.
He is the least like Xie Guangzong, but also the most like Xie Guangzong's son.
Xie Guangzong looked at Xie Tingzhou in front of him. When he brought him back from the small village, he was still a skinny baby, but now he can carry the entire Beilin.
"Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"
Xie Tingzhou said, "We encountered a massed bandit group in Jiangzhou, and the Qingyun Guards suffered heavy losses. Didn't they send a pigeon to the capital to report this?"
Xie Guangzong said: "Of course I know, I asked behind."
Xie Tingzhou took a sip of tea and said, "With your army approaching, how dare the garrison in Pingzhou move? May the journey be smooth."
Xie Guangzong snorted twice, "Do you know what's good about your father?"
"You seem to be in a hurry." Xie Tingzhou said.
Xie Guangzong touched his chin uncomfortably. "Well, I have sent an urgent letter to Shengjing, informing him that you will soon succeed the King of Beilin."
Xie Tingzhou paused. He had expected this result, so it wasn't too surprising.
Xie Guangzong added: "By the way, I'll also pass on the news that you're getting married to your first wife, but you'll have to clean up the mess yourself."
Marrying Shen Yu, whom the imperial court wanted to attack, as the Princess of Beilin was a formal declaration of war against Shengjing.
I'm afraid many people will be completely unable to sit still.
