Emperor Hongyuan's wedding was celebrated together, and the nine days were stopped.

The day after the wedding, Ji Zhuo stood up slowly in Feng'an Palace. Yesterday, when preparing for the wedding, the emperor specifically told him implicitly that it might be a little late today. While dressing, he curled his lips and chuckled. The young man was really full of energy. He was the only elder left in the palace, so it wouldn't matter if they let them make trouble.

The attentive Guard Xu took the coat over and put it on Ji Zhuo with his own hands. He looked at the cold and handsome face and smiled a little, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"I tied it wrong." Ji Zhuo watched someone take the clothes on his waist and tied them to his chest with laughter and cry.

This dress is complicated, if you make one mistake, you have to take it apart and wear it again. Xu Che scratched his head, smiled silly, took it apart one by one, and tied it carefully. General Xu, who has always had a bad temper, was as gentle as a stupid cow, and he was interested in everything he did and would not be impatient at all.

Ji Zhuo looked at the hands that had always held guns, clumsyly holding the soft belt, and tied the knot meticulously. It was not good-looking, but it was very neat and orderly. However, the complicated knots on his waist could not be tied well. He did it over and over again, and his heart couldn't help but feel soft, "These things are just for the eunuch."

"I haven't done it for seventeen years, but I'm a little bit of a hand." Xu Che lowered his head and continued to compete with the ribbon.

It has been seventeen years, and the two of them have only met one distance at the palace banquet where Xu Che defeated the General Feng of the Southern Barbarians. The rest of the time was three thousand miles apart. Ji Zhu sighed indecisively, hesitated for a moment, slowly raised his head and touched a silver color on Xu Che's temples.

I originally thought that those ignorant feelings when I was young had long been cut off on the day of seeing off the bride. In this deep palace and when there was no one, Ji Zhuo could not help but think of the young man who smiled and brought the shells to him. He guessed that he had made achievements in Lingnan, married and had children, and gradually forgot his poor lover. He never expected that this fool had been withered for 17 years, and had not married, nor had he taken a concubine. He was in his thirties, and had white hair.

The warm hand she felt was stroking her temples, and Xu Che stumbled with her fingertips of her belt. In the past month, the two people who had not been with her for seventeen years were trying to contact her slowly. Ji Zhuo was always lukewarm with him, which made him feel nervous, afraid that this person would keep him by his side because he felt guilty.

When the warm touch approached, as if he had returned to the intimacy of seventeen years ago, at this moment, even a tough guy like Xu Che couldn't help but blush his eyes. He was afraid of being embarrassed, so he took a breath and continued to lower his head, but the knots in his hand became more and more messy.

Ji Zhuo raised his hand, held the slightly trembling hands, and said hoarsely: "Folks, they've tied them to death."

Xu Che slowly grabbed the beautiful fingertips, not moving or speaking.

The room suddenly fell into tranquility, but it didn't seem embarrassed at all. Instead, there was a warm feeling flowing between the two.

At this moment, an eunuch came outside the door to report: "Report to the Marquis, the emperor asked someone to bring a message saying that the Empress was unwell and had issued an order to push the sacrifice to heaven for three days. I will come to kowtow to you later."

In fact, Ji Zhuo did not have the title of Empress Dowager, so he did not have to participate in the sacrifice to heaven. He could also save the etiquette of worshiping his uncle and aunt the day after the wedding, but Xiao Chengjun insisted on kowtowing him.

"I understand." Ji Zhu responded, and the atmosphere disappeared just now. The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Xu Che held the four fingers and refused to let go, "Hanzhi, can I live with you in Minzhou in the future?"

Originally, Xiao Chengjun meant that Empress Ji was also considered a royal family and should be granted a prince, but Ji Zhuo was unwilling to have anything to do with the Xiao family anymore, so he insisted that the new emperor treat him as a minister who retired and returned home and was granted the title of Marquis of Jinghai. In the future, the royal family's grievances and entanglements had nothing to do with him.

Ji Zhu raised his eyebrows and looked at the man's stupid look, he couldn't help but want to tease him, "General Zhengnan will not attack the Nanman?"

"Minzhou is also in the south, and if I go to fight against Japanese pirates, it will be considered a conquest of the south." Xu Che said hurriedly.

"Hahaha..." Ji Zhuo couldn't help laughing.

Nine days later, Emperor Hongyuan began to attend court, and the palace began to be busy, preparing for the New Year.

Empress Lou naturally accepted all the affairs of the inner palace. Because she set up her own business early, Lou Jing was very familiar with these trivial matters, so she didn't need Ji Zhuo to mention it, so she quickly sorted it out.

Seeing that everything was done properly, Ji Zhuo went to the Marquis of Jingnan to bid farewell to his parents and set off for Minzhou.

The Ji family has settled in the capital now. The Marquis of Jingnan is old and can no longer fight. Emperor Hongyuan means that when the spring begins, the prince Ji Chen will continue to defend the southeast. Ji Zhuo is just a casual marquis and has little military power.

"Why worry? After the New Year at home, just go with your elder brother and family. There is still someone to take care of on the road." Mrs. Jingnan held the hand of her youngest son, tears streaming down her eyes. Because she was the queen, she could only salute politely when she met. Now she can finally get close to her.

Marquis Jingnan sat in the main seat and did not speak. He owed too much to this son. He hadn't seen him for more than ten years, and he didn't know how to get along with him.

"The emperor has already made it clear. The Ji family can still go back to the southeast. His son's mansion needs to be cleaned up and take a step forward." Ji Zhuo did not give in at all. He suppressed himself in the capital for seventeen years, and he did not want to stay here for a moment.

"Are you serious?" Mrs. Ji was also stunned. She thought she wanted her eldest son to go to fight on behalf of her father, but she didn't expect that she would agree to go back. You must know that the Ji family has been in the southeast for generations, and even the ancestral tombs and ancestral halls are in Rongcheng. If you ask them to go back, they will naturally be unsuccessful.

Ji Zhuo smiled but didn't say anything. The emperors he taught could naturally see loyalty and treason, and he also had the courage to delegate military power. He would never be as suspicious as Emperor Chunde.

"Okay, okay," Marquis Jingnan couldn't help but burst into tears, "Hanzhi, you did a good job..."

When Emperor Ruizong asked him to send his son to the palace, he patted his shoulder and sighed, "I'm sorry to you, but someone must guard the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Without Han Zhi looking at the prince, Da Yu might be overturned."

After Emperor Shizong was appointed as a man, he was actually very selfish. He just wanted to marry the general. The emperor of the Xiao family preferred male sex, and then the emperor extended the rules. However, he turned out that Emperor Chunde, who was not a man sex at all, had not had such a difficult time in all the queens of Ji Zhu.

Ji Zhuo lowered his eyes and did not answer. Emperor Chunde had just treated him as a minister for so many years. Only he knew what was going on. But there was no need to let his father know about this. He Ji Zhuo was worthy of the royal family after all.

Without staying at home for more, you can see each other again when spring begins. Ji Zhuo walked out of the Jingnan Marquis Mansion neatly. A carriage was parked in front of the door. The coachman accompanied the dark cloak and a hat. When he saw him come out, he jumped out of the carriage neatly, revealing a handsome face, and smiled at him silly, "Let's go?"

Ji Zhuo looked at him and nodded with a chuckle.

Winter is not a good time to rush. There are ice chips, horse hooves, and wheels on the road, but it doesn’t matter. I stop and stop all the way, and when I see the good scenery, I stop and rest, and walk for a month before I arrive in Minzhou.

Xiao Chengjun gave the original Minwang Mansion to his father as a mansion and replaced it with the plaque of "Jinghai Marquis' Mansion". The stuttering Lord Fan became the governor of Minzhou and came to congratulate the Marquis at the first time, "Go to be the official, see, see, see the Marquis..."

"Hey, Lord Fan." Xu Che was familiar with him, stepped forward and patted his shoulder, almost slapped Fan Jie's thin body down.

"General, army, live, live in Minzhou..." Fan Jie had received an order before, and later the general of the Southern Expedition was stationed at the junction of Minzhou and Lingnan.

"Yes, I stay here at the Marquis on weekdays." Xu Che said with a smile. He looked much younger than before.

Winter goes and spring comes, and summer in Minzhou always comes very early. By mid-spring, it is so hot that it can go into the water to play.

"Hanzhi, come here quickly-" Ji Zhuo was sitting on a bamboo chair and blew the sea breeze. He heard Xu Che calling him from afar. He opened his eyes helplessly and saw the man standing barefoot on the beach, pointing at the reef and shouting at him.

"What have you found?" Ji Zhuo walked over slowly and looked at him with a chuckling.

"Look!" Xu Che dug out the sea crab from the big stone and picked it up for him to show it. The crab was the size of a palm, and was waving a pair of large pliers vigorously, "I'll bake it for you later."

"Why did you find shells?" Ji Zhuo raised his eyebrows.

"I've found it," Xu Che hurriedly carried the crab in one hand and went to get the shells piled on the beach. The crab took the opportunity to raise its big pliers and gave him a fierce look, "Oh!"

The general who was pinched a little cried out in pain and threw the crab away. The crab seemed to have lost its life if he knew it would be caught and ran very fast. Xu Che hurriedly held the shells to catch the crab, and his feet slipped and fell on the beach.

Ji Zhuo couldn't hold on to laugh. This guy was so steady on weekdays, and he was silly as soon as he arrived in front of him.

The crabs passed by provocatively in a place that Xu Che could not reach, and the shells scattered all over the ground. The mighty general's face was covered with sand, and he was very embarrassed.

Ji Zhuo squatted down to see him, his cold eagle eyes full of smiles.

Xu Che couldn't help but blush. Anyway, Ji Zhuo has liked to laugh at him since he was a child, so there is no shame in giving him a smile. He handed over the best-looking shell in his hand and said, "For you."

The little shell that Ji Zhu handed to him was round and smooth, shining brightly in the sun. Then he looked at the smiling face covered with sand, just like back then, holding the shell foolishly and clumsyly pleasing him. Without picking up the shell, Ji Zhu slowly stretched out his hand and gently wiped off the sand from his handsome face, "How many years have passed, why haven't you made any progress? You're so stupid that you tripped yourself up."

"Hehe..." Xu Che just looked at him, grinned, turned over and lay on the beach, and couldn't do it.

"Fool." Ji Zhuo shook his head helplessly and then lay down beside him.

The sea breeze blew the hem of their clothes, and the long hairs of loose hair were stirred together, accompanied by the sound of waves, which was very quiet.

"Hanzhi, we will not be separated from each other in the future, right?"

"Um."

"Cold."

"Um?"

"It's okay, I just call you."

"Fool."
