The woman on the carriage also got off. The woman had a beautiful and heroic face and was wearing loose cloud satin clothes. It was obvious that she had a big belly. She jumped out of the carriage by herself. After getting off, she still looked at the general with a confused look on her face.
Another person got off the carriage. She was a woman in her twenties, with a ponytail and relatively loose clothes. She was dusty and looked a little tired.
Yuan Qingling's eyes fell on the other woman's face, especially her hair and clothes. And the way she got off the carriage. Looking at her shoes, a pair of transparent toe leather shoes were exposed under the long skirt.
Yuan Qingling looked at this outfit and felt a little strange in her heart, so she couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
This person is not pretty, but he gives off a neat feeling. Although this neat feeling can also be seen in Jingting's wife Chen Jinning, it is a little different.
There is an indescribable familiarity.
"Chen Jinning meets the Crown Princess!"
When she was lost in thought, she saw Chen Jinning coming forward to salute. She quickly returned the salute and held Chen Jinning's hand. "Princess, please stop being so polite. Have you had a hard journey along the way?"
Chen Jinning was also looking at Yuan Qingling. With a smile on her face, she said, "It's not hard, I'm very happy to see the Crown Princess."
"I'm also very happy to meet the princess."
The two women looked at each other and smiled.
A group of people, led by Yu Wenhao, marched into the city and went straight to the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
The Ministry of Rites had prepared a lamp pavilion, and they were supposed to rest in the lamp pavilion as soon as they arrived. However, the prince was so anxious that he went to the palace to get it, and it was difficult for the Ministry of Rites to explain it, so he had to chase after Yu Wenhao and ask him.
Yu Wenhao waved his hand and said, "We will arrange to go to Prince Chu's Mansion first, and then you can go back to the palace and resume your duties."
The Minister of Rites could only say: "Yes!"
When Yu Wenhao came out today, he asked Tang Yang to prepare a banquet to welcome the general.
So when we arrived at Prince Chu's Mansion, the food was already prepared.
Since it was still noon, I decided not to drink. This was Yu Wenhao's very thoughtful consideration. He thought that the general had just arrived and had been tired from traveling all the way, so his stomach might not be good. Drinking at this time would make his stomach uncomfortable, so he prepared some.
The meals are all light, and meat dishes are only served in the evening.
Such thoughtfulness made Yuan Qingling stand in admiration.
After eating, Yu Wenhao said to General Chen in private: "Brother Jingting, it's rare for us to meet each other. You can't live in Zhanguan, you must live in my palace."
General Chen agreed immediately, but then he said with some embarrassment: "I still have to ask my wife for her opinion on this matter."
Yu Wenhao was very considerate and said: "No, you are not asking her opinion, you are trying to convince her."
General Chen looked at Yu Wenhao with a smile, "That's exactly what I meant."
Not long after General Chen left, he told Yu Wenhao when he came back, "She agreed."
Yu Wenhao said happily: "That's great. Madam-in-law is very considerate. Brother Jingting, you have married a good lady."
Chen Jingting said: "I think the princess is very good. I remember when you got married, you wrote a letter saying that you didn't like her and wanted to divorce her. Fortunately, you didn't do this. Otherwise, where would there be triplets?"
Yu Wenhao also felt sad, "Actually, she was not the same person back then as she is now."
Chen Jingting was a little confused, "Not the same person? Did you change the princess?"
"He is still the same person..." Yu Wenhao thought for a while, "But, he is not that person either."
Chen Jingting smiled, "Brother Yuwen, what do you mean?"
Yu Wenhao smiled and waved his hand, "I'll explain this to you later. Come, I'll take you to see my son."
Chen Jingting looked very interested and said happily: "Okay."
Over there, Yuan Qingling also took Chen Jinning to see the children. The four of them were together. Looking at the three identical children, the couple in Dazhou let out a sound of exclamation.
Sanwa also looked at the visitors from the Great Zhou Dynasty, looking a little bored. Anyway, she was used to this kind of exhibition, so it didn't matter.
During the dinner, Prince Qi and his wife came.
This was mainly because Yuan Yongyi was coming and King Qi had to come.
Yuan Yongyi admired Chen Jinning and naturally wanted to come and have a look.
After getting acquainted, Yuan Yongyi kept looking at General Jingting and said to Qi Wang in private: "I didn't expect that the General is so young and handsome. There are few men in the Northern Tang Dynasty who can compare with him, right? You have to make good friends."
King Qi was so angry that his mouth twisted, "As if someone is not young. As for handsomeness, this is definitely not a compliment for a man. I think he looks like a woman."
Yuan Yongyi looked at him in surprise, "Looks like a woman? Which of your eyes sees that he looks like a woman? He is even taller and stronger than you. You can hear his aura, calm and restrained, and you can tell he is a master of the family, and more than that.
, he also has an iron arm, and you can tell by looking at him that he is highly skilled in martial arts."
King Qi sneered, "If you are good at martial arts, you won't have your arms chopped off, but if you are not good at martial arts, your arms will be chopped off."
Yuan Yongyi didn't like hearing this anymore, "That's because he has experienced hundreds of battles. I heard that he started going to the battlefield at a young age and fought dozens of battles, which is amazing."
"Didn't Fifth Brother go to war at a young age? Why don't you admire Fifth Brother? Are you still afraid of Fifth Brother?" King Qi argued unconvincingly. Women are short-sighted and don't know how to appreciate the good things in their own country.
Jing worships Zhou Meiwai.
"I admire the prince too." Yuan Yongyi frowned, "What's the matter with you? I'm just admiring the general, do you look sore? If you have the ability, go back and practice, if you can beat me
, I admire you too, okay?"
King Qi gritted his teeth, "Big Fatty, how dare you underestimate me?"
Yuan Yongyi chuckled, "You are not as good as others, why don't you allow others to look down on you?"
After saying that, she went to talk to Yuan Qingling and Chen Jinning.
King Qi was so angry that he stamped his feet and wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking about it, this woman was lawless. If she didn't stare at her, she would probably be able to stick it to General Chen himself when he turned around.
What's so great about him? Isn't he just good at martial arts? It's like he hasn't practiced martial arts before.
During the banquet in the evening, King Qi held his breath and poured down a bowl of strong wine to honor Chen Jingting.
Yuan Yongyi was surprised, looked at him and said: "Drink a bowl as soon as you come up? Do you have a good drinker?"
After hearing this, King Qi smashed his teeth and swallowed blood, and tried his best to raise a hospitable smile, "The general has come from afar. I, the king, must do my best to serve the general, entertain him well, and try my best to make the general feel at home."
, General, I respect you first."
After saying that, he raised his head and gulped down a bowl of wine. The wine was strong and choked his throat, but he just frowned slightly and swallowed it all.
King Qi's drinking capacity is not bad.
The main reason is that he thinks that General Chen is not used to Beitang's wine. After one bowl, he will be at least three or four points drunk. If he drinks a few more bowls, he will be kept to make him look embarrassed.
So, after he finished, he looked at Chen Jingting with a smile full of provocation.
