"Have you heard? General Shen has quelled the Ruoqiang rebellion with a great victory and is about to return to the capital!"
"It is said that Princess Chaohui has been in love with General Shen for three years. I wonder if the Emperor will grant them marriage this time."
"I heard that the Prime Minister's daughter also likes her?"
"I'm afraid all the noble ladies in the capital have their eyes on General Shen, haha!"
"Hurry! Let's go to Chang'an Street and see if we can see General Shen!"
...
The people spread the word, and everyone went to Chang'an Street to welcome the hero back to the capital. They also wanted to see General Shen's handsome face. They heard that he was exceptionally handsome, otherwise why would all the noble ladies in the capital be so fond of him?
The streets of Chang'an were guarded by guards on both sides.
The people jostled and cheered.
On the second floor of a teahouse beside a bustling street, a beautiful young man leaned against a woman. He had bright eyes and white teeth, and his blue robe made him look even whiter. He held a folding fan in his hand and leisurely waved it.
The servant beside him also peeked out the window.
General Shen has not arrived yet.
Chang'an Avenue is still some distance from the city gate.
The servant said happily, "Young master, Young Master Yu has also returned."
Deng Xin picked up a candied fruit from the table and popped it into her mouth, making her cheeks plump up. Her hands were also white and slender, and her long hair reached her waist, which was half-tied up with a jade crown. At first glance, she was unbelievably beautiful.
It looks good even if you look closely.
The young master is nineteen this year, just the age of a scallion. However, this is ancient times. At his age, he should be able to have a principal wife, and even if he doesn't, he will certainly have concubines.
When Nan Yu arrived, he learned that the young master did indeed have someone in his backyard, whom he had asked for out of spite, but he had never touched her.
The original owner's surname was Qi, given name Zimo, and courtesy name Buyi.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was known for its open-mindedness, where both men and women were allowed to have sex. The emperor kept many male concubines. Qi Ziming had been in love with Yu Chen, the son of General Yu, since childhood, but he never expected that Yu Chen would treat him like a younger brother.
Two years ago, he confessed his feelings to the emperor, and was so frightened that he asked the emperor to let him go on the expedition with the army. He even scolded the original owner of the body. The original owner was angry and took a concubine, feeding and caring for her well and buying her whatever she wanted.
He even spread rumors that he doted on that lady so that Yu Chen would find out when he returned, and that the original owner wanted Yu Chen to be jealous.
Unexpectedly, Yu Chen rejected the original owner of the body, but during a military campaign, he fell in love with a young military doctor, who was also a man.
The original owner of this body broke down.
He ran to the general's mansion to ask why.
Yu Chen said, "I only see you as a younger brother."
It's always the same line.
The young military doctor followed him back, and Yu Chen planned to keep him in the inner quarters. When the original owner went to find Yu Chen, he came out and showed affection to Yu Chen, which made the original owner so angry that he vomited blood. Later, he was sent back, and Yu Chen didn't even come to see him.
Yu Chen disdained the displays of affection he displayed.
When he heard about Yu Chen and the young military doctor's loving relationship, it was like the sky had fallen.
The original owner was extremely possessive. He couldn't stand it, so after recovering his health, he tried to take Yu Chen away. He became very domineering, even threatening the junior military doctor, and always doing things that were typical of a vicious person, which eventually angered Yu Chen.
He was stabbed through the heart and died.
It's because he interfered.
This made Yu Chen's feelings for the young military doctor grow stronger. Yu Chen felt that he couldn't live without the young military doctor and he had to make him the official husband. His family disagreed, so he worked hard to earn military merits.
He asked the emperor to bestow the junior military doctor upon him.
Now the old general dared not speak out against his anger, and died young from the shock.
Today's main character is Shen Xichuan.
The greatest war god of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He was a highly decorated military man in his twenties with a promising future. It was said that he was also exceptionally handsome. Not only did high-ranking officials in the capital want to marry their daughters to him, but even the emperor had considered making him his son-in-law.
However, there is a rather wild rumor circulating among the people that the emperor also took a fancy to Shen Qichuan and wanted to bring her into the harem, but it didn't work out.
Yu Chen is currently just a junior officer following Shen Qichuan.
When Nan Yu came out today, his servant thought he was coming to see Yu Chen. After all, he hadn't seen Yu Chen for two years. His young master used to talk about him every day, but he didn't expect that the heart of the person had changed.
On the other hand, Nan Yu did indeed come to see Yu Chen.
I want to see what he looks like.
The original owner liked it so much.
After waiting for a while, the sound of horses' hooves grew closer. He stopped waving his folding fan and looked down at the vast army. The general at the head of the army was wearing armor and his face was covered by a mask, so his appearance was completely obscured.
The young man on the left in the second row has returned victorious, full of vigor, waving to the people. Dengxin takes a teacup, drinks it, and looks him over.
The image of Yu Chen in his memory became increasingly clear in his mind at this moment.
That's what the young player on the left looks like.
Not seeing the accompanying military doctor, perhaps he was mixed in with the soldiers, or perhaps the lamp wick's gaze was too intense, Yu Chen was immersed in the cheers of the people, while General Shen, riding his warhorse, looked up at the second floor of the teahouse.
It just so happens to be in line with the light bulb's line of sight.
Years of fighting have given him a wheat-colored complexion, healthy and strong, unlike the young master, whose skin is delicate and fair, like jade when illuminated, translucent and pink.
Nan Yu was taken aback, then quickly turned her head away.
Their gaze fell on Yu Chen.
This was his first time on the battlefield. Because of his family connections, he didn't have to start as a common soldier. He won the battle and benefited from the emperor's praise, which was crucial for his future career.
I wouldn't say he was completely clueless; after two years away from home, he got quite tanned.
The army left quickly, and Nan Yu continued to enjoy the scenery, eating and drinking to her heart's content.
The servant boy said excitedly, "Young Master, when Young Master Yu returns to the General's Mansion later, should we go and congratulate him in advance? Young Master Yu must miss you after not seeing you for two years."
Qi Ziming was naturally delighted to hear this.
But he is not.
