The new emperor waited with joy, but felt that the time was extremely long.

Finally, footsteps were heard outside.

The new emperor was overjoyed, subconsciously wanted to stand up, thinking of his current new identity, he coughed lightly and leaned back on the dragon chair, assuming a reserved posture.

"Your Majesty, the champion Hou is here. Wei Wuxian bowed.

Although there were many changes after the new emperor ascended the throne, Wei Wuxian still sat firmly in the position of the eunuch of Bingbi and the governor of Dongchang.

First, the new emperor has no suitable replacement, and second, he is still keeping filial piety, if he immediately replaces the old man who is not at fault, I am afraid that people will say that it is too cold.

Despite this, compared to Emperor Ming Kang, who had served for decades, the temperament of the new master needed to be rethought, and Wei Wuxian had to work hard.

"Wechen has seen the emperor. ”

"Master Hou, please get up. As soon as he saw Shao Mingyuan, the new emperor couldn't help but smile.

Shao Mingyuan straightened up.

"Wei Wuxie, move a chair for Hou Ye. ”

Wei Wuxian raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Shao Mingyuan.

Xindi is very kind to the champion Hou.

Shao Mingyuan still looked calm: "Weichen is panicked, thank the emperor for giving him a seat." ”

Looking at the young man sitting upright like a green pine, King Rui only felt refreshed, and asked with a kind smile: "Master Hou came to see me, I don't know what is going on?"

Could it be that he was honored to be crowned a king with a different surname?

Although he has this heart, the timing is not right.

Although the champion Hou has the merit of following the dragon, the matter of privately transferring troops to garrison cannot be investigated deeply, let alone rewarded with great fanfare for this credit.

He planned to wait for the future champion Hou to make military achievements and then be rewarded.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to take a leave of absence for a while, and take his wife south to Jiafeng. ”

"Leave, what leave?" Xindi's face changed slightly.

He doesn't want the champion to take a leave of absence!

Shao Mingyuan glanced at the new emperor with a slightly gloomy face in surprise, but he had no fear in his heart, and explained calmly: "The minister wants to go to worship the Qiao family, and I hope that the emperor will approve it." ”

Although the new emperor was reluctant in every way, he couldn't find a reason to oppose it.

Of course, he is the emperor, he can be willful, but this is the champion Hou, the champion Hou who saved him twice, this bit of face still has to be given.

"Alright then, I'm ready. The new emperor reluctantly agreed, and instructed, "Master Hou wants to come back early." ”

"Yes. Shao Mingyuan always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say why, so he walked out of the palace gate and patted the non-existent dust on his body, and hurriedly went home.

Two days later, Qiao Zhao and Shao Mingyuan, who were in the light car, went out of Beijing in a low-key manner, and it was the Qiao Mo brothers and sisters and Chi Can who saw them off.

In the ten-mile long pavilion, Qiao Mo poured a glass of wine for Shao Mingyuan: "Tingquan, the cabinet is busy, and I can't get out of it for a while, so I ask you to kowtow to my parents and relatives for me." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I will. ”

"Brother-in-law, and me. ”

Shao Mingyuan smiled at Qiao Wan: "Brother-in-law remembers." ”

Qiao Wan was quite regretful, and muttered in a low voice: "Actually, I really want to go back with my brother-in-law to have a look." ”

She also wanted to give her father and mother a pillar of fragrance and kowtow a few times, but the eldest brother didn't allow it, so she had to detain her to study and embroider at home.

Qiao Mo patted Qiao Wan on the shoulder: "Okay, when the eldest brother can take leave in the future, I will take you back." ”

Qiao Wan immediately put her regret behind her, and asked in surprise, "Big brother doesn't lie to me?"

"When did Big Brother lie to you?"

Qiao Wan blinked: "Does the eldest brother have a holiday after getting married?"

Qiao Mo coughed lightly and said with a straight face: "That's also next year." ”

The first emperor died, although the new emperor only needed to stay for three months, but the people were not allowed to marry during this year, and Qiao Mo and the Xu family's family affairs were naturally postponed.

"It's okay next year, as long as my eldest brother really takes me back. ”

"Why don't you let Wanwan come with us. Qiao Zhao said.

Qiao Wan's eyes lit up, looking at Qiao Mo expectantly.

"No, this girl is not small, she still collects her temperament at home, and I will take her back next year. ”

Qiao Zhao then said no more.

"Alright, stop grinding, let's go. Ji Can urged with a little impatience.

Of course, he can't have a good mood, thinking that these two people are going to play in the mountains and rivers, but he has to roll up his sleeves and scold those bastards in the court, and when he returns home, he has to face a big-bellied girl, which is really boring.

"Gone. Shao Mingyuan smiled, hugged his fists at Qiao Mo and Chi Can, and pulled Qiao Zhao towards the carriage.

"Tingquan—" Chi Can couldn't help but shout as he looked at the backs of the two.

Qiao Zhao and the others stopped.

Chi Can's eyebrows flashed a few times, and he pretended to ask calmly, "It won't take long for you to come back, right?"

"A month or two. ”

"That's okay, go early and come back early. Ji Chan waved his hand.

Qiao Zhao and the others got into the carriage and poked their heads out of the window, until they couldn't see the figure in the long pavilion, and then lowered the curtain of the car.

"Shixi is left alone in the capital, it must be lonely. Shao Mingyuan opened the food box on the small table and took out the fresh fruit inside.

The box was a mix of sizes, with some ice in the middle, and the melons and fruits cut into the size of the mouth were extremely fresh, and a silver toothpick with a delicate pattern was inserted on it.

Shao Mingyuan took a piece of watermelon and sent it to Qiao Zhao's lips.

Qiao Zhao took it and ate it, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said with a smile: "In two months, the eldest princess of Changrong will give birth." ”

Shao Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly suddenly.

He is a big man, so naturally he can't pay attention to the affairs of other people's houses, and it turns out that his friends are worried about this.

"The eldest princess of Changrong is pregnant with a dangerous pregnancy, and Shixi is probably afraid that his mother will have an accident during childbirth. ”

Shao Mingyuan shook his head with a smile: "Shixi has always been wrong-mouthed, are you proficient in rebirth?"

At most, in case of emergency, you can administer needles to stop bleeding and midwifery, and at that time, you really have to rely on the experienced stable woman. Qiao Zhao said calmly.

Her medical skills were inherited from Doctor Li, who never took over life.

Thinking that he would meet Grandpa Li this time on the southbound journey, Qiao Zhao was full of expectations.

In this season, the river is abundant, and the two quickly changed to the waterway and smoothly arrived in Jiafeng County.

The two stayed in the county seat for a short time to recuperate, and went straight to the apricot forest in Baiyun Village.

After the Qiao family's case was revealed, Shao Mingyuan ordered someone to come here to renovate the Qiao family's tomb, and sent two veterans who had retired due to injuries to guard the tomb here.

July and August are the months when the grass and trees are lush in the south, because the two grave guards are there, but the raised hills in the Qiao's cemetery are clean and clean, and there is not a single weed.

Qiao Zhao was full of emotion when he saw it, and knelt in front of his grandfather Qiao Zhuo's grave and kowtowed.

Grandfather and granddaughter have come back to see you with your grandson-in-law, whom you personally chose.

Your vision is always excellent.

Shao Mingyuan knelt beside Qiao Zhao, kowtowed seriously, and said in his heart: Grandfather, don't worry, your son-in-law will be good to Zhao Zhao for the rest of his life.

The two stayed in the apricot grove for a few days, then set out on the road again and went to the secluded town where Doctor Li lived.
