The heavy snow that has troubled everyone for a long time finally stopped after a month of continuous snowfall. The sun came out and the sky cleared up.

On the second day after the sky cleared, Bai Meng led his brothers and escorted ten carriages back to Beijing.

The two female shadows sent by Song Jinyu and Song Jue still pretended to be Bai Meng's bodyguards, and they were no different from when they came. Originally, Shen Cha wanted to arrange a few more people for her, but Song Jinyu said that it would be easier. To attract others' attention, it is better to maintain the status quo.

Even so, Shen Cha still asked Ying Four and Ying Thirteen to sneak into the accompanying soldiers with a few people. In addition to protecting the safety of the princess, more importantly, they wanted to protect the gold.

"Once you find someone acting suspiciously, don't hesitate, just take him down. If you resist, you will be shot without mercy!"

Before the large army set off, Shen Cha specially called for Ying Si and Ying Thirteen, gave them some instructions, and gave Ying Thirteen the secret message for Song Jue, asking him to go to Xijing and deliver it to His Majesty.

Watching Bai Meng's team leave, the few people standing on the tower finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Without any danger, we finally sent these two giant Buddhas back. No major problems occurred. I'm really thankful to God." Xue Ruitian stretched out after returning to Nuange of the Duke's Mansion. He took off his cloak and sat directly in front of the brazier. He warmed himself by the fire and said, "However, with this boy Bai Meng gone, the military camp will become deserted. Without this boy pestering the soldiers to compete all day long, there would probably be many People don’t get used to it in a short period of time.”

"Don't worry, I believe it won't take long for the commander-in-chief to come back. I guess..." Jin Jing sat next to Xue Ruitian and handed him a bowl of ginger soup, "It will only take five years at most, so, There is no need to feel regretful or empty, because when the time comes, he will come back and be even more annoying."

"Five years?"

"Eh?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, who had been immersed in official duties after returning to Nuang Pavilion and designed the order and schedule of the entire competition, heard Xue Ruitian's words and looked up at him at the same time. Shen Cha picked up the tea cup, took a sip and asked Said, "Brother Xiaotian...don't you know?"

"What do you know?" Xue Ruitian shook his head in confusion, "What...should I know?"

"The Commander-in-Chief and Sister Xiaoyu did express their feelings to each other. The two of them decided to think about it for a while. If at this time next year, or during the Chinese New Year, their feelings for each other are still the same as they are now. The commander-in-chief will ask your majesty to grant the marriage." Shen Cha put aside part of the schedule he had written, "Didn't the commander-in-chief or sister Xiaoyu tell Brother Xiaotian?"

"You actually didn't tell me about such a big thing, but you all knew about it. Am I not the person closest to them and the one who should know the most?" Xue Ruitian said with depression written all over his face, "I should ask if I have the chance. Ask these two bastards."

"They didn't tell you, probably because they have concerns and don't want you to worry about them." Jin Jing comforted, "Didn't we agree that we would have to stay together for another year? If there are any changes, I would tell you in advance. Yes, it also makes you worry about them. They probably think it’s not good, so they don’t want to tell you."

"I think so too." Shen Cha added, "Not only do you not know, the two county princes also don't know."

"They are still children. Don't get involved in adults' affairs. If you don't know, just don't know!" Although he said this, the depression on Xue Ruitian's face was obviously much less than before. "Also, I don't understand a little bit. Ah, now that we have made clear our feelings for each other, we can ask Song Jue to marry us now. They are both very young, why should we delay it until next year?" He took the frozen pear handed over by Jin Jing and said fiercely Taking a bite, he said, "By next year, if two people's minds change, will this marriage...become impossible?"

"The emperor is not worried and the eunuchs are not worried. Neither of them is worried that such a situation will happen. Why are you worrying so much!" Jin Jing rolled her eyes at Xue Ruitian, "They are willing to do this because they must be doing good to themselves and each other. If you have confidence, you won’t have to be so anxious!”

"But..." Xue Ruitian still frowned, "Half a year is enough, why does it have to be one year?"

"Brother Xiaotian, since the term is one year, it certainly makes sense."

"What's the truth?" Xue Ruitian raised an eyebrow, "What's the truth?"

"You eat pears, listen to me tell you slowly." Jin Jing patted Xue Ruitian's arm and stuffed a large plate of frozen pears into his arms, "First of all, the engagement between Xiao Yu and Zhao Yinhe, although It was a set-up, but if Zhao Yinhe's extramarital affair had not happened, Xiaoyu would have married into Prince Yihe's palace now, right? I talked with Xiaoyu, and although I knew it was a set-up, I still had a lot of trouble with Zhao Yin. During the contact with Zhao Yinhe, she could not help but be attracted by Zhao Yinhe. She was sincere and had the slightest expectation for her future life in Prince Yihe's Mansion."

"Is that what she told you?" , you really put your heart into it.”

"Girls are different from us after all." Jin Jing glanced at Shen Cha secretly and found that she didn't care about her words, and continued, "But the reality was not what she expected. Zhao Yinhe said He slapped her big mouth. Therefore, she needs a certain amount of time to relax her emotions. This can be completed not in one month, but in two months. Bai Meng understands her mood very well, so she is willing to wait for her. Also , what does the Commander-in-Chief mean? The engagement between Xiao Yu and Zhao Yinhe has just been terminated, and Zhao Yinhe has ended up like that again. Yu Xiaoyu's reputation has been damaged. If he asks His Majesty to grant a marriage now, those people may not necessarily make it up. What are you talking about, Xiaoyu, so why should I wait until the limelight is over before mentioning the marriage?"

"Is this what Bai Meng said?"

"Yes!" Jin Jing nodded affirmatively, "Don't say it, the commander-in-chief is quite thoughtful."

"This guy has good intentions. I really saw him right." Xue Ruitian nodded, "Among the young men in Xijing, he is the only one who is worthy of Xiao Yu."

"You are really difficult to take care of." Jin Jing snatched a frozen pear from Xue Ruitian's plate, "If Bai Meng really becomes your brother-in-law, you won't know how to control others!"

"Shouldn't it be right?" Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Haolin, who had always been obsessed with official duties, and raised his eyebrows slightly. This guy never participated in such topics, and was never very interested in such things. It was as if he didn't eat. It was like fireworks in the world. He and Jin Jing exchanged a look, and the two of them shook their heads helplessly, "Forget it, since they have their own plans, I won't ask any more questions."

"It should have been like this a long time ago. They are not children anymore. They can solve their own affairs by themselves."

At this time, Ying Wu pushed open the door of Nuan Pavilion and walked in from the outside, saluting several people.

"Why are you here?" Shen Cha put down the pen in his hand, "What happened?"
