Chapter 168 One Year Anniversary
Bai Zhi and Gu Cheng got married, and Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen gave them three days of wedding leave.
The third day of March.
Rong Jinchen also gave himself a vacation.
Su Zhenzhen got up and saw that he didn't go to deal with official business. She lay in his arms, her small hands touching the man's chest, and looking at Rong Jinchen's slightly closed eyes sleepily.
"Husband, why are you still here?" Her voice was hoarse and lazy, and her peach blossom eyes were misty, very cute and adorable. She rubbed her little face against him, and she saw that he opened his eyes.
Rong Jinchen hugged her in his arms, reached out to touch her messy hair, and looked at her with tenderness and affection in his dark eyes, "Qingqing, today is the first anniversary of our acquaintance." He must spend such an important day with Qingqing.
Su Zhenzhen blinked slowly. Oh no, compared with Rong Jinchen, she seemed to have too little sense of ritual. What a handsome man with a sense of ritual and interest.
She hugged his strong waist gently and said, "Husband, I am so happy to meet and fall in love with you. Today is also the first anniversary of my knowing you." Su Zhenzhen spoke in a soft voice, and the sweet words were irresistible to Rong Jinchen.
Hearing this, the man's pupils shrank slightly. He couldn't wait to change his posture and lean over to kiss her sweet lips. His big, bony hands touched her soft neck. "My dear..." The words were drowned out by the two people's lips touching...
Su Zhenzhen cooperated very well and hugged his back, her sparkling eyes filled with tears, her fluctuating breathing and pounding heartbeat revealed her inner restlessness.
After a long time, the sun shone through the gauze window onto the chaise longue by the window, and the two people in the room who were in love were reluctant to get up.
The girl's eyes were full of affection and sparkling as she snuggled in the arms of the tall man. "Husband, it's so nice to marry you." She said this sincerely. Su Zhenzhen was very glad that Rong Jinchen had snatched her away on the day they first met.
Otherwise, Su Zhenzhen would shudder when she thought about the respectful life she and Xie Cijing were living now.
Although she is selfish and can live like that, why should Su Zhenzhen make herself suffer when she can live a better life?
Rong Jinchen lowered his neck and looked at the rosy-faced girl in his arms. He whispered: "I am also very glad to marry Qingqing." Even if the means he used were not fair, who made him a prince?
Su Zhenzhen knew that the man in front of her felt very safe. He knew that she had fallen in love with him, so she smiled and said, "When we get to Hejian Prefecture (now Henan Province) and meet Master Xie, you are not allowed to be sarcastic to me." She raised her eyes and looked at the man with a tender gaze.
How could Rong Jinchen do such a stupid thing that would cost him both his wife and his army? He said gently, "Qingqing, I won't be sarcastic with you." Matters between men should naturally be resolved between men. How could he be so stupid as to let that man show his presence between him and Qingqing?
She lifted up the man's slender, white hand with distinct bony joints and blue veins, and touched his palm and fingertips with thin calluses, "Husband, you must have suffered a lot at the border, right?" Every time Su Zhenzhen wanted to ask, the man would deliberately change the subject. Perhaps it was because he knew that Su Zhenzhen at that time did not have any feelings for him, and if he said it, it would only be a deliberate torture, so it was better not to say it.
Rong Jinchen is essentially a proud child of destiny. He disdains to use his past sufferings to gain sympathy in front of his lover.
In the love-brained world, love must be flawless. What Rong Jinchen wants is Su Zhenzhen's pure love, not pitiful sympathy.
After the two of them had a mutual understanding, he was afraid that the bloody and cruel descriptions of the frontier would scare Su Zhenzhen, a rich and beautiful girl who had been raised in the capital.
So he just said lightly: "It's all in the past. The battlefield is cruel, and I don't want to scare Qingqing." His fingers pinched her soft little hand, and his eyes looked at the girl in his arms tenderly.
Su Zhenzhen pouted her slightly swollen lips, "But people care about you, I'm not afraid. Men who defend their country are the most handsome." It's not like she hasn't seen the cruelty on the battlefield. She had seen a lot of it in the news in her previous life.
Rong Jinchen raised his thin lips and smiled helplessly: "In fact, life on the border is not that hard. The logistics and food are sufficient. My father loves me and specially gave me a royal physician to serve me. I am not the kind of general who eats and sleeps with the soldiers. I have no worries about food and clothing. I just suffered some hardships on the battlefield, but I will be fine after that." What he said was indeed the truth. There were times when he went without sleep for three days and three nights without dry food during the battle.
Su Zhenzhen knew that the man was deliberately avoiding the important issues. How could there not be suffering on the battlefield? Even a man like Rong Jinchen could not avoid being injured and bleeding. After fighting for four or five years, many of those who survived were left with disabilities, and some even died in the borderlands for the rest of their lives, unable to return home.
Fortunately, my father is wise and he ensures that the rewards and pensions for the soldiers are handed over to the soldiers and their families, and will not be embezzled by officials.
So she hugged Rong Jinchen tighter, "Well, it's bitter first but sweet later, my husband. From now on, there will be only sweetness in our lives." The man suddenly smiled, his eyes tender, and lowered his head to kiss the girl's soft and thick hair.
After a few days of busy work, Rong Jinchen has already surveyed the land in Yingtian Prefecture and understood the examination method, and has a general understanding of the situation in Yingtian Prefecture.
Yin Wenjie, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, was an honest and upright person who did not dare to be greedy. He just wanted to work honestly until he retired. In addition, since he was located in the capital area, he did not want to be the chicken killed to scare the monkeys, so the land survey in Yingtian Prefecture progressed very quickly and there was no concealment of information.
After Gu Cheng and Bai Zhi's wedding leave, she and Rong Jinchen were about to leave. Before leaving, Su Zhenzhen gave Yin Yue a filigree plum blossom hairpin inlaid with rubies, as a wedding gift for her chatting and entertaining her these days.
"Thank you, Princess." Yin Yue felt like she had received a treasure after receiving it. This meant that she had a unique reputation in Yingtian Prefecture and even in the entire Hebei Provincial Government.
It is a great fortune for the wives of local officials to receive gifts from His Majesty's most beloved princess. Who else has this honor?
Even if she gets married in the future, her status will be more secure because of this relationship. She is a member of the royal family!
Su Zhenzhen looked at Yin Yue with excitement, supporting her chubby cheeks with her hands, "We will see each other again in the future." This little girl Yin Yue was quite pleasing to her eyes, and Tong Han was bound to win the imperial examination the following year.
Yin Yue was quick-witted and naturally understood what the Princess meant. They had no connections in the capital, and Tong Han's grandfather had been her grandfather's subordinate, whose patron had retired to his hometown. If she and Tong Han arrived in the capital in the future, wouldn't the Princess of Yan have a ready-made connection?
So she smiled sweetly at Su Zhenzhen: "Thank you, Princess, for your kind words. If Yue'er has the honor to come to the capital in the future, she will definitely go to visit you." It would be a waste not to hug such a thick golden thigh! Su Zhenzhen smiled gently at her. She just likes beautiful and nice girls.
