Without the support of food and grass, the Mobei Army continued to retreat under the fierce assault of the Ming Army. Emperor Ming, who was in the imperial city, naturally received the news of the army's victory, and Long Yan was overjoyed. However, Xue Zhan was not mentioned in the warning.
Xue Zhan watched Qi Rui write the warning with his own eyes, and he placed all the praise for Qi Rui. Qi Rui at first refused, how could she take the praise from her elder brother. The eldest brother caught a spy, put together a scheme, and burned food and grass. He had only dealt with the Mobei Army a few times, and he really did not dare to take the plaudits.
"Second brother, just write what I say. This is very helpful to your elder brother" Xue Zhan said casually.
Qi Rui finally had no choice but to take all the praise for himself shamelessly.
Su Jinnian of course received such good news, and he could not wait to tell Su Zijin the news: lakak-in-law, brother and the others had won the battle. In ten days, they would be able to return to the imperial palace.
"really? My husband's coming back?" Su Zijin asked worriedly with a frightening distended stomach. She had not seen her husband for more than three months, and this was the first time they had been separated for such a long time. In the past, she had not thought of anything to be together with every day, but now she thought of it. When her husband left, Su Zijin always felt hollow in her heart, like something was missing.
Su Zijin paid no heed to Jinnian's presence, and began counting the days that her husband would return with his slender fingers. Three months had passed, and now he finally received the news that he was coming back, but Su Zijin felt that time was becoming more complicated and difficult to bear. She stroked her tall belly, thinking that her husband would be happy to see her when she returned. She was really impatient to meet her husband in the next second.
it must be said that the couple really had a good understanding of each other, and the two thought about it simultaneously.
As soon as the war here ended, Xue Zhan could not sit still, he wanted to grow wings and fly to see his wife now. He talked it over with Qi Rui, and not even attending the celebratory banquet, He rushed to the palace day and night.
Even Su Zijin knew that Xue Zhan would return? Then how could Song Huimin not know. He had even known about it earlier than Su Jinnian, and he also knew that Xue Zhan really did not want to marry her. Otherwise, according to his ability, why would Qin Rui not say a word about Xue Zhan, he was obviously afraid of the marriage decided by the emperor, so he did it on purpose. But now, he had no choice of retreating.
"Xue Zhan can only be mine." Thinking of this, Song Huimin hurriedly asked An Rong to invite the female official of Jinxiufang. He remembered that Xue Zhan said that he liked her the most when she wore bright colors. Looking at her face that was no longer gentle in the mirror, Song Huimin could not help feeling sad,
He was twenty-six years old. No matter how much she looked after herself, she could not compare to the years when She was still a young girl! But he was certain that Xue Zhan was not a shallow person who only cared about looks. As long as he could forgive himself and know that he also had his own difficulties at that time,
then they would definitely return like in the past, and she, Song Huimin, would still She was the only Princess Xiao! She was going to give birth to some smart and well-behaved children for Xue Zhan, and live a life that everyone envied.
Late that night, Xue Zhan finally returned to Kyoto after a day and night trip. Looking at the strange but familiar door of the manor, Xue Zhan was filled with emotion. In the past, he only considered home as a place to live, wherever he was. However, since marrying Su Zijin, he realized that the place that has a wife, called home. When he thought of if there was someone he loved, and waited for him to come home in this house, Xue Zhan felt warm in his heart.
The torch in the backyard of the manor was turned off early, and Su Zijin was sleeping soundly in a soft and comfortable brocade blanket. As Xue Zhan returned to the bedroom, he saw his little wife lying on the bed, with a slightly tired face, sleeping soundly like that. Xue Zhan's heart suddenly softened into a puddle of water, this was the person he yearned for day and night.
Xue Zhan stood in the middle of the room until the cold air in his body almost disappeared, then he carefully sat down on the edge of the bed. His rough fingers stroked Su Zijin's delicate cheeks, and a soft kiss fell on her open neck.
Xue Zhan did not even have time to take a shower after running around for days, and his face was covered in dust. His beard, pierced the soft face of Su Zijin.
“Don't make trouble, let me sleep again"
"Alright, Zijin, get some sleep."
Hearing someone's reply, Su Zijin suddenly opened his eyes, he saw a man with a deep figure sitting in front of the bed through the dim moonlight. The man looked slightly embarrassed, with an affectionate smile on his unshaved mouth. She is her husband! Could this be a dream? But the warm touch on her face clearly told her that this was true, her husband had actually returned.
Su Zijin immediately began to blush, He immediately moved his body into his embrace and said: husband, you are back.
Xue Zhan hugged his little wife, his feelings were heartbreaking.
"Zijin, your husband is back, why are you still acting like a child? Be kind, and stop crying." Xue Zhan stroked her hair and coaxed her gently. If people saw Prince Xiao cherish his wife like this, they might be surprised.
Cui'er was standing guard tonight, she had just taken a break and heard a noise in the room when she returned. So she gently pushed the door open and entered the bedroom.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a tall body standing beside the princess' bed, he had only been in this place for three months, and he had never seen Xue Zhan before. So he thought it was a thief coming from somewhere, and wanted to be reckless towards the princess.
Cui'er was already good at martial arts, so out of surprise and anger, he swung his fist and hit Xue Zhan. But He was no match for Xue Zhan, and he could be subdued in the blink of an eye.
Su Zijin could neither laugh nor cry when he saw her. How could there be a slave who did not know his master? "Cui'er, stop! You haven't paid your respects to the prince."
"Prince?" Cui'er blushed and said, He also thought, how could there be someone who could break in secretly? And before the princess had time to fight, it turned out that this person was a prince.
"The servant has met the prince. This waiter is very adventurous now. Please forgive this lowly servant, please forgive."
"Alright, you are also faithful, go, I.. "
Before Xue Zhan finished his words, Su Zijin's door was knocked open. The housekeeper rushed forward anxiously, followed by a group of palace guards, who had clearly come here due to Cui'er's screams.
When the housekeeper saw the people sitting in the room, he was also shocked, then rushed over to bow and salute: Prince, why are you back at this hour? .
Xue Zhan naturally recognized the butler Xiao. He also had great respect for this self-dedicating butler.
"Head maid, please let the people go first. Now it becomes clear. I'll tell you later. "
