When Song Yanqing saw Chu Shou again, it was on the city tower in Kyoto.
At that time, Princess Chengxuan of the Northern Territory arrived in Kyoto as scheduled, and a large group of people was so long that she could not see through it at a glance. It was said that she was deeply loved by Emperor Yong of the Northern Territory and was the only little princess in the tent.
Concubine Rong came to greet her on behalf of His Majesty. Next to her was Song Yanqing, standing upright with a long black sword in her arms.
Gu Cheng also returned to the capital. Gu Hongying had been watching in front of the city gate early in the morning. She couldn't sit still and often got out of the carriage and looked at the way the group came.
The carriage is luxurious and exquisite, with half red cloth and half white cloth wrapped around the left and right shelves. This is the carriage Chu Shou often rides.
Song Yanqing stood on the tower, looking at the people and horses approaching gradually. His eyes were cold, like endless well water. He seemed to be looking into the distance, but his peripheral vision couldn't help but stay on the carriage below.
The autumn wind could no longer roll up the heavy curtains, and Chu Shou never even got a glimpse of it.
"Master Song, have I seen you somewhere before?"
Concubine Rong looked carefully at Fang Qin's slender jade hands, which were filled with crimson cinnamon, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
When Song Yanqing heard this, he turned his eyes and looked sideways. He looked at this radiant enemy, but he didn't want to say another word. He only said coldly: "I must have remembered it wrong."
After Concubine Rong heard this, she chuckled, her eyes moved to Song Yanqing, she looked up and down, and said softly: "You and your brother... look quite similar."
Song Yanqing's eyes froze, and she slightly raised her lips into a smile. Behind her, Shen Yi raised his hands and stepped back, leaving enough room for the two of them to talk.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill my enemies with my own hands at this time?"
He raised his eyes slightly, and the resentment hidden in his heart was revealed for no reason. Concubine Rong looked at the carriage below with a smile and said, "You can't do it when the princess is here."
After saying that, she turned to look at Song Yanqing again, with a smile in her eyes and slightly parted red lips, "She overturned the entire Wu Clan for you. Don't let her bear the reputation of deceiving the world in vain."
Song Yanqing also curled up his lips and smiled, but ignored him. He tightened his grip on the long knife and looked into the distance with white eyes. A group of men and horses were already approaching the city.
Gu Hongying looked at Gu Chengye, who was wearing light armor and sitting majestic on a tall horse. After a few years apart, the young man raised in a gold and silver nest was capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities, stationed at the border and resisting foreign enemies. She couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Ping, pinched the silk handkerchief in his hand tightly, bit his lips lightly, his eyes were already quietly moist.
She turned around and said softly: "Princess Princess, we are here."
The thick curtain of the carriage was opened from the inside, and Ah Shui came down first, and then Chu Shou bowed out wearing a heavy cloak.
Within a few days, she had lost a lot of weight. She was huddled in her clothes and lost her former air.
After returning from Qingzhou, Chu Shou had not been anywhere except Fodu Temple.
His Majesty summoned and entertained everyone, but he never showed up.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate sent many greeting cards to the general's residence, but they were all stopped and rejected one by one.
During this period of time, she stayed in the house without seeing anyone. Today, Gu Hongying came to visit in person, and then she went out by car.
The old general, holding a bunch of greeting cards from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, sat in front of her bed and counted them. There was also a greeting card from King Wenxuan, the fourth prince who was newly crowned king.
Strangely enough, it was actually a post from the princess.
Chu Shou looked at the invitations on the bed and asked his grandfather feebly, "Since you know my pain, why would you show me his true feelings?"
"You hate my mother-in-law's short life, which caused your only son to become infatuated with love. He is still missing. Why don't you understand the reason? It's better to stop the loss in time."
The old general lowered his head and snorted, fidgeting with letters of greeting one after another in his hand, and murmured: "I don't know about longevity and short-term, I only know that sincerity is rare."
After hearing this, Chu Shou burst into laughter, shook his head and said, "If I are happy to be reunited with him, will I have to fight to the death to have a child in the same situation as me? It's better not to have such thoughts."
After hearing this, General Chu remembered Chu Shou's situation for nearly twenty years and couldn't help but lament. She was much precocious and wise compared to her peers. Even though she lived a reputation of being naughty, she was the most sensible and always like that.
Like an endless river, only smiles can be seen, but no sorrow.
After thinking about it, I didn't say anything more. I sent someone to collect the invitation without saying a word.
Ah Shui and Sanqian looked at Chu Shou closely, their brows furrowed again and again, their eyes full of worry.
Gu Chengye rode quickly for a few steps, then dismounted gracefully and trotted all the way.
Chu Shou looked at the people getting closer and closer, and as Gu Hongying raised the corners of his mouth, he slowly smiled.
She was overjoyed, and her body seemed to have regained its strength. Zhao Wuji said that it was the medicine that Tianguan had been painstakingly preparing for many years.
After hearing this, she never felt happy. Her feelings for Song Yan were complex and profound, clear but powerless.
A good person like him shouldn't have to spend his whole life in her hands. Besides, Heavenly Officials have always lived a long life, so how could he only be left to her alone?
She never doubted their love for each other, and even because of this, she was able to reconcile with her rather willful parents who only had children but no children.
But she can't...can't make one mistake all the time.
"Sister!"
Gu Chengye cupped his hands and knelt on the ground with one knee. His skin was a little tanned. Gu Hongying patted his arm and pulled him up. His body was much stronger than before.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries. Gu Chengye turned sideways and looked at Chu Shou, bowed his hands and said softly: "Wan'an, Princess."
Chu Shou smiled, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Long time no see."
Gu Chengye also lowered his head slightly, smiled shyly, and said no more.
"As soon as he comes back, Rukawa will soon get married and become another man's wife."
Concubine Rong looked at the scene downstairs with cold eyes and continued: "Your Majesty wants to dominate the world, so he has to win over military generals in many ways. Nowadays, the court emphasizes literature over military affairs. In a real war, it is not very useful to use words and ink. Even if Your Majesty knows that you two
The old affairs were arranged intentionally during the period, but in the end Liuchuan had to marry. His Majesty personally issued an edict to investigate the Gu family. Only when Liuchuan is married can General Gu be kept close to him so that he can be driven by your Majesty."
Song Yanqing squinted his eyes slightly, watching the two chatting and laughing, Chu Shou smiling brightly, but he felt more and more uncomfortable. He heard Concubine Rong talking nonsense again... He became more and more depressed, but he also suppressed his anger.
He opened his mouth and said: "When my wife was about to die, she didn't expect that one day she would stand with me, didn't she?"
Concubine Rong returned the favor in a dignified manner towards Princess Chengxuan who got off the car at the bottom of the city tower. With a smile on her lips, she said with a smile on her face, "Master Song, you have to work hard. If you don't have to marry Liuchuan, you should marry yourself first."
It’s someone else.”
After saying that, her eyes moved around, finally stopping on Chengxuan who was looking around, then looking at Song Yanqing, her eyes full of pride and provocation.
