Chapter

Fei An was sent to Fei's mansion by General Jin and others. The three of them accompanied Fei An in the study for a long time. When they left, they looked bad. The three of them went directly to General Lin's mansion to drink. The youngest of them was nearly forty years old and they paid great attention on weekdays. According to General Lin's words, he did not want to take the breath. So he was very restrained in drinking and other things. Not only did he, General Jin and the others were also like this.

But today, he asked someone to bring the whole jar of wine and drink it in a bowl. After drinking the jar of wine, several people looked at each other and had a decision in their hearts. General Lin nodded slightly, General Jin sighed and raised his head to drink a bowl of wine. General Wu said the last time, "This is really..." But he couldn't continue and reached out to wipe his face, "I'll arrange this matter."

"Okay." General Lin didn't say anything else, but just held up the wine bowl and clinked the two of them, "That's it."

In the general's mansion, Chen Jin was smiling as Chu Xiuming bent down and helped Dongdong learn to walk. Dongdong was the kind of person who wanted to learn to run before he could learn to walk. He screamed and tried hard to run towards Chen Jin's position, but when Chu Xiuming let go, Dongdong fell to the ground.

Because the thick mattress was covered on the ground, it didn't hurt the fall, but it could scare the fall. After getting up, he looked at Chen Jin in confusion, and then began to complain, but found that Chen Jin did not help him up like before. After he finally grabbed the thing and got up, Chu Xiuming would help him forward again. Dongdong found that as long as he walked forward honestly, his father would keep holding him steadily. Even if he wanted to fall, he couldn't fall. But if he wanted to move faster, then his father would let go.

After a few times, Dongdong became honest. Chen Jin knelt in front of him. After Dongdong rushed over, he hugged him, kissed his little face and said, "Dongdong is so awesome!"

Dongdong also hugged Chen Jin and kissed him hard, then sat in front of Shen Jin, touched his calves, then looked at Chu Xiuming, and said, "It hurts."

Chen Jin then carefully looked at Dongdong, not even Hong. Chu Xiuming sat casually next to Shen Jin and said warmly, "Before falling, I picked it with my feet." This was to explain to Shen Jin. Although he didn't care about Dongdong and made him fall, he was his own son. Even if he knew that the mattress was thick enough, Chu Xiuming was not so cruel. So before Dongdong fell, Chu Xiuming usually blocked it with his feet, and it didn't hurt him at all. He just taught him a lesson.

After hearing what Chu Xiuming said, Chen Jin understood, but he lowered his head and kissed his leg and said, "Dongdong is so good."

Dongdong was satisfied, and Chen Jin then put his pants back on. Dongdong looked at Chu Xiuming with some pride, then stretched out his fat and tender claws to complain to his mother, saying, "It hurts."

Chen Jin pinched his little paws and looked at Chen Jin with anticipation. Chen Jin kissed his little fat hand helplessly and said, "It doesn't hurt, be good."

Dongdong hummed and put his little face over, "It hurts."

Chen Jin reached out and poked, and said, "Pretty."

"It hurts!" Dongdong's tone was stronger and his eyes widened.

Dongdong was well-raised, and I don’t know who his facial features were with him. It really doesn’t seem as outstanding as Chu Xiuming, nor as pleasing as Chen Jin, but it’s very unique, a perfect beauty. Chen Jin took Dongdong into his arms, looked carefully and said, “Husband, does Dongdong look like a father-in-law or mother-in-law?”

Chu Xiuming reached out to hug Chen Jin. Before Dongdong grabbed Chen Jin's hair, he stretched his fingers over and asked him to grab them. In fact, Chu Xiuming discovered it earlier than Chen Jin, but no matter who he looks like, he is just his son. "Not like him." After thinking for a while, "Xiuyuan looks more like his grandfather."

"Where is the husband?" Chen Jin asked curiously.

Chu Xiuming lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Dongdong's eyes, and said, "I'll follow my mother."

Chen Jin leaned against Chu Xiuming, and did not restrain Dongdong, let Dongdong crawl around them, and then grabbed them and stood up slowly. Chu Xiuming stretched out his hand to wrap Chen Jin, and his other hand was to protect Dongdong. Chen Jin wondered, "Dongdong is not like you and me, nor is he like my father, nor is he like my mother, nor is he like..." Chen Jin muttered, "I have been looking at it for so long, and I feel that the corners of Dongdong's mouth are raised like me when he smiles, but his nose is like my husband."

Chu Xiuming thought of what Madam Zhao said at that time, hugged Chen Jin and whispered, "Dongdong may be like the prince."

Chen Jin widened his eyes when he heard this, looked at Dongdong in disbelief, then looked at Chu Xiuming, his body trembled for a moment, and said weakly, "Don't scare me."

Chu Xiuming didn't expect Chen Jin to be like this, so he helped him hold something that almost lie on the ground and asked, "Where did I scare you?"

"Isn't the prince gone?" Chen Jin looked at Dongdong, "No..." He wouldn't be reincarnated into her belly, right?

Chen Jin did not say the following words, but Chu Xiuming was amused and laughed at by the panic little eyes, and said, "Where do you want to go?"

Chen Jin hugged Chu Xiuming's neck, turned his head to look at the East that was struggling with his calves, and smiled, "Forget it, no matter who it looks like, it's better not to let Dongdong be seen for the time being." Since Chu Xiuming and the others could find that Dongdong was like the prince, then the prince of the King of Ying, Emperor Cheng and even the old ministers at that time could naturally find it.

Chu Xiuming nodded and said, "Well, the prince and King Rui are actually five points similar."

The prince and King Rui are brothers, and Chen Jin is the daughter of King Rui. In other words, the prince is Chen Jin's uncle. The blood relationship is very wonderful and no one can tell.

Chen Jin suddenly thought, "Won't Xiuyuan know, right?"

"Yeah." Chu Xiuming said, "Manager Zhao and they are all people left by Chu Xiuyuan's grandmother."

Chen Jin didn't care about the following sentence. After all, she had known this a long time ago. She suddenly laughed in Chu Xiuming's arms and said, "I don't know what Xiuyuan thought."

Chu Xiuming said, "I don't know." In fact, after Chu Xiuyuan knew about it, he just liked Dongdong even more. After all, Chu Xiuyuan also admired the prince, his grandfather.

I don’t know what kind of mentality it was, Chen Jin poked Dongdong’s soft belly a few times, then looked at Dongdong sitting on the ground, Chen Jin laughed. Chu Xiuming looked at his wife helplessly, and Dongdong was not angry, "Mother Qi?"

"Haha, every time Dongdong calls his mother, I think he is talking about a hen." Chen Jin, no matter who his son looks more like, reached out and carried him into his arms and kissed him, "Mother's good son."

Chu Xiuming looked helplessly at his wife and son holding each other intimately, and didn't know what to say. In the end, Chen Jin forced her to lie down. Chen Jin held Dongdong and stepped on Chu Xiuming's back, "Is it comfortable?"

"Yeah." In fact, Chu Xiuming didn't feel that the weight of Dongdong was so heavy. After stepping on Dongdong, he lay on Chu Xiuming's back and rolled around.

Princess Ruyang had already packed up her things, and Madam Zhao had prepared a lot of things to give to Emperor Cheng and the others. The day when Princess Ruyang left, it was Zhongyi who took the children to deliver them in person. Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin did not show up. However, Yue Wen was guarding her with soldiers. Zhongyi personally helped Princess Ruyang get onto the carriage, and then helped her to sort out the peony hairpin on her hair, and said in a low voice, "Princess, we will be husband and wife in the next life."

"The Princess Ru Yang's eyes turned red, looked at the children who pretended to be strong, and said to the Princess who were considering her, "Don't worry, I will never let you get into trouble."

Zhongyi shook his head and looked at Yue Wen standing beside him as if he was worried about something. He just shook Princess Ruyang's hand hard. Princess Ruyang wanted to say a few more words, but Yue Wen said, "Princess, it's getting late, please go on the road."

Princess Ruyang's youngest daughter could no longer help crying, "Mother, mother..." she was about to pounce on Princess Ruyang.

Because this daughter looks like Princess Ruyang, she has been favored since childhood. Princess Ruyang is also particularly loving, so she became much more pampered, "Mother, do you want me anymore?"

Princess Ruyang's eldest son hugged her sister and refused to let her go. She just looked at Princess Ruyang and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of my younger brother and sister. You..." As she said that, she knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, "Son only wishes her mother good health."

Zhongyi Hou turned his head slightly and wiped away his tears and said, "Princess, go, stop thinking about us anymore." After that, he turned around cruelly, walked towards the children, and then reached out to hold his little daughter.

Princess Ruyang gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, the prince consort." Then she looked at Yue Wen, "I just hope that the prince consort and my children will be kind to him."

Yue Wen said respectfully, "Don't worry, princess, let alone the wife will go to Beijing after a while. I hope the princess will take care of my wife more."

Princess Ruyang took a deep breath, nodded and looked at her husband and children, then turned around and entered the carriage.

After no longer seeing the carriage, Yue Wencai said, "Please wait for Zhongyi to return home."

Zhongyi nodded and walked into the city with his little daughter in his arms. Yue Wen said, "Tomorrow, General Zhongyi will ask Zhongyi to come to the mansion and talk."

"Okay." Zhongyi Hou narrowed his eyes and said.

Yue Wen sent Zhongyi Hou and others back to the mansion where they lived, and after explaining a few words to the guards in the mansion, he turned around and left.

After returning, Zhongyi asked someone to take his little daughter and the others down, leaving only his eldest son Chang Hao. Chang Hao was not as sad as before, but just frowned and sat in the room and said, "Father, do you think your mother will..."

"No." Zhongyi Hou said with certainty, "Although your mother is domineering, she has the softest ears."

Chang Hao heard this and said, "Father, actually my son thinks that since my mother has left, it is better to surrender to the Marquis of Yongning."

Zhongyi actually had this plan, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Chang Hao sneered, "Hasn't my father been fed up?"

Hou Zhongyi pursed his lips and said without saying a word. He just looked at his eldest son for a long time before saying, "Tomorrow you and I will go to the General's Mansion together."

Chang Hao said, "Yes."

Zhongyi narrowed his eyes. Although he was sure to stabilize Princess Ruyang, it was hard to say after a long time, and...

Chang Hao said, "Father, the soldiers and people in the border town are united, and the prince of Ying is aggressive again. Emperor Cheng... What did he ask his father to marry his mother?"

Zhongyihou's ancestors also started their military achievements, but later Emperor Cheng ascended the throne and valued culture over military military forces and suppressed military generals. Zhongyihou's mansion was difficult. Unexpectedly, Princess Ruyang took a fancy to Zhongyihou, and Emperor Cheng had the intention to win over these nobles. In order to preserve the glory of the family, Zhongyihou's father gritted his teeth and asked his son Shangzhu. Then, after Zhongyihou got married with Princess Ruyang, he passed the title to Zhongyihou and took his wife out of the main courtyard. Zhongyihou was the most filial, and Princess Ruyang's identity changed suddenly. Although she was good to Zhongyihou, she was very negligent with Zhongyihou's parents.

Although Chang Hao was born by Princess Ruyang, he was sent to his parents to raise by Hou Zhongyi. In fact, Hou Zhongyi had already made such plans, so since Princess Ruyang was pregnant, she has been considerate everywhere, and finally coaxed Princess Ruyang to agree.

Although the Lord Zhongyi was still the Lord, Emperor Cheng was still wary of the Lord Zhongyi's Mansion and did not let the Lord Zhongyi get any power. It was not until the border city that Emperor Cheng remembered the family of Zhongyi and his family, summoned the Lord Zhongyi and Princess Ruyang to the capital, and then let them go to the border city.

However, Emperor Cheng wanted to use Zhongyi Hou, but he did not trust Zhongyi Hou. Instead, he handed over all the rights to Princess Ruyang and even secretly gave Princess Ruyang the will. If Zhongyi Hou was inappropriate, he would take it down directly. Princess Ruyang thought he was hiding it tightly, but Zhongyi Hou had already known it.

Hou Zhongyi was completely disappointed. Otherwise, with Hou Zhongyi, even if Chu Xiuyuan had prepared in advance, it would not have been possible to capture Princess Ruyang and her group so simply.

Chang Hao looked at Zhongyi and continued, "Father, don't forget grandfather's words."

Compared with Princess Ruyang, her biological mother, Chang Hao was obviously closer to his grandfather and grandmother. Zhong Yihou nodded and said, "I will make a decision tomorrow."

Chang Hao no longer advised him. He was young and energetic, and his ambition was strong. Moreover, Chang Hao understood that even Emperor Cheng was his grandfather, he would not use him seriously. Although his mother said countless times that he would let him inherit the title of Zhongyi Hou, he was a Zhongyi Hou who had no real power? Chang Hao didn't care about it at all.

Hou Zhongyi looked at Chang Hao and said, "Remember to ask your younger brothers and sisters to write to the princess more."

"Son knows." Chang Hao said with his eyes narrowed.

Zhongyihou nodded. This was his eldest son, who wanted to inherit the child of Zhongyihou's mansion. Even for him, he had to fight. He reached out and patted Chang Hao on the shoulder and said, "Do you understand how to practice martial arts diligently?"

"Yes." Chang Hao said respectfully.

Early the next morning, Yue Wen came to invite Zhongyi to the general's mansion, and did not object to Zhongyi's request to bring his eldest son. As soon as they arrived at the mansion, they were invited in. Zhongyi thought that Yongning Hou would give them a warning, but he didn't expect that there was no such thing as no. Although the people in the mansion did not say that they were very enthusiastic, they did not neglect at all. Seeing this, Zhongyi narrowed his eyes and thought that Emperor Cheng wanted to use him at that time, but after he called him into the capital, he did not see him at all. Zhongyi Hou was not stupid, so of course he knew why it was for.

Chu Xiuming took Chu Xiuyuan to meet Zhongyi and his son. After the two of them sat down, Chu Xiuming did not go around and said, "My father once mentioned the style of Lao Zhongyi on the battlefield, but unfortunately we have never been able to meet him."

Hou Zhongyi smiled. Over the years, he had already lost his initial impulse, otherwise he would not have been locked up for so long and was still so calm.

Chu Xiuming spoke, "I don't know what Zhongyi's plan is?"

"We are both prisoners, and it depends on what the Yongning Marquis has to do." Hou Zhongyi said.

Chang Hao sat aside without opening his mouth. Chu Xiuyuan smiled at him, and Chang Hao nodded.

Chu Xiuming did not feel any guilt because of Zhongyi's words and said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law will be here in the past few days."

Zhongyi narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

Chu Xiuming said, "I dare to swear here, and I will never be affected by the throne."

Chang Hao was young after all, and he heard this, "Mr. Yongning is serious about this?"

"Take it seriously." Chu Xiuming said, "If you don't believe me, I would like to swear in front of you, and I will never have the intention of rebellion. The Shen family is definitely the Shen family. My Chu family has been guarding the border since the founding of the country of Tianqi. If it were not forbidden to avoid it, it would not be like this. Bystanders are clear. Over the years, can Zhongyi Hou see what happened to my Chu family? Why did my father and brother die? I think Lao Zhongyi understands it in his heart."

Chang Hao moved his lips when he thought of his grandfather's expression when he learned about the death of the Old General Chu, and his heart was touched.

Chu Xiuming said, "And I have an irreconcilable hatred with the Prince of England. At that time, the King of England stole the border defense map and sent barbarians into the Apocalypse..." Chu Xiuming would say this because he expressed his attitude, but it was a little blurred. He only mentioned that King Rui and Princess Rui were about to come to the border town. The Shen family was sitting on the throne, but he did not mention that King Rui would ascend the throne.

What's more, compared with Chu Xiuyuan, the prince's legitimate grandson, King Rui is not so legitimate.

Zhongyi Hou thought for a while and said, "My son Chang Hao has been following my father, and I wish to be driven by the Marquis of Yongning."

Chu Xiuming laughed and said, "Great charity, it's just that in the current situation, it would be inappropriate if he rashly asked Chang Hao to lead his troops. Why not follow Xiuyuan to the military camp to train for a while and wait until Shen Xi takes over King Rui before making arrangements?"

Zhongyihou nodded and said, "Okay."

Chang Hao also smiled on his face. Chu Xiuyuan laughed and took the initiative to walk to Chang Hao and said, "You have been here for so long, and you haven't been walking around the border town well. Why don't I take you out for a walk?"

It is false to say that he is not curious about it. Seeing that Chu Xiuyuan is generous, Chang Hao glanced at Zhongyihou, and Zhongyihou said, "You will follow Yongning Hou in the future. Don't pretend to be a young master's temper?"

"Son knows." Chang Hao said respectfully, then he followed Chu Xiuyuan to leave.

Chu Xiuming said, "It is better for Hou Zhongyi to go with me to meet Mr. Zhao Duan, the second son of Mr. Zhao."

"Old Master Zhao?" Zhongyi Hou asked for a moment of frightening, "But the Chuyuan Zhao family?"

"That's right." Chu Xiuming said.

Hou Zhongyi said, "Okay." Then he followed Chu Xiuming and walked out.

Chu Xiuming said, "It is not suitable to let Zhongyi live in that kind of place now. The house next to Zhao's mansion has been empty. I will take Zhongyi to take a look at it later. If you can still see it, you might as well be close to Zhao Duan."

Hou Zhongyi thought for a while and said, "No need, except for Chang Hao who was raised by my father since childhood, the remaining children were raised by the princess." He also wanted to teach him while Princess Ruyang was away.

Chu Xiuming advised, "Is it because Duke Zhongyi is willing to do so? How many people still remember why Duke Zhongyi was granted the title?"

Zhongyi's face changed. When it comes to Zhongyi's Hou, they think of Zhongyi's military achievements, but the word "Son-in-law". Chu Xiuming's words hit Zhongyi's pain point. Chu Xiuming said, "It's better for Zhongyi to think about it."

"Okay." Hou Zhongyi did not answer Chu Xiuming immediately.

When the two arrived at the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Duan, Zhao Jun and Zhao Che were all in the mansion, waiting specifically for Chu Xiuming to bring Zhongyi Hou. Because they were close, the two came on foot. Zhongyi Hou also watched the situation in the border town along the way, and his heart became more and more shaken.

Zhao Duan brought two juniors to greet him at the door. After entering, he asked Zhao Jun and Zhao Che to salute Zhongyi Hou. Zhongyi took the jade pendant and finger on his body and gave them the meeting gift. Zhao Duan directly sent the person away, and then smiled, "I asked them to take leave today."

Hou Zhongyi asked, "Please leave?"

Zhao Duan nodded and said, "After the Zhao family comes, they must first go to the military camp to train with the recruits for a period of time, and then make arrangements."

After hearing this, Hou Zhongyi said, "It is worthy of being the Zhao family in Chuyuan."

Zhao Duan shook his head and said, "Don't look at their spirits now. When they just came..." He shook his head, "It's Shen Xi, after coming to the border town, was thrown in. If Shen Xi hadn't had a task now, let Zhongyi take a look today."

Zhongyihou nodded, with a little thought on his face. Chu Xiuming said, "Princess Ruyang has already entered Beijing. I originally wanted Zhongyihou's family to move to my uncle's side, but Zhongyihou has so much concern, so my uncle should persuade him."

Zhao Duan looked at Zhongyi and asked, "Does Zhongyi think there is something wrong?"

Zhongyi Hou said, "Except for the eldest son Chang Hao, the other children grew up next to the princess, and they are very handsome..." After saying that, he sighed. After seeing Zhao Jun and Zhao Che, when he thought of his other children, Zhongyi Hou couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Thanks to Chang Hao, except for Chang Hao's affairs, Zhongyi Hou never argued with Princess Ruyang for the rest of the matter.

Zhao Duan said after hearing this, "I have suffered from Zhongyi."

Zhongyi Hou said, "I just happened to see if I could break up the children while the princess was away."

Zhao Duan responded and talked to Zhongyi for a while. Zhongyi also said goodbye first. He also needed to think about it carefully. Chu Xiuming and Zhao Duan personally sent Zhongyi away. After Zhongyi left, Zhao Duan said, "This person cannot be used."

Chu Xiuming nodded, "It's Chang Hao... it needs to be observed for a while."

Zhao Duan said after hearing this, "It is more appropriate for the general to send someone to secretly monitor Zhongyi Hou." Zhao Duan did not believe that Zhongyi Hou was unwilling to move out. In fact, he was just trying to please him on both sides. The eldest son followed Chu Xiuming, and he and the remaining children were from Emperor Cheng. No matter who wins or loses, they would not harm his own interests. He could not use this to go to another level, not to mention that he is so sensible now that he wants to save his life.
