Qin Yuan was the commander of the Jingwei Division, and he had the qualifications to face the saint directly, and half an hour later, after the eunuch's communication, he was allowed to step into the imperial study and met Song Chen.

"Weichen Jingwei Division commanded Tongzhi Qin Yuan to meet the emperor."

As soon as he entered the door, he made a big salute in a regular manner.

Song Chen raised his head slightly, glanced at the young man, and once again cherished his talents, and asked, "Calm down, what is the important matter when you come to see me today?" ”

Qin Yuan lowered his head, but his body was still straight, and he said: "Weichen wants to go to the battlefield with his father to kill the enemy, I beg Your Majesty to be favorable!" ”

Song Chen was a little surprised, so he put down his pen and looked at the young man in front of him seriously.

A few years ago, he saw the good martial arts of the young man, and the battle for the heir the year before last, the young man made a lot of efforts for him, Qin Yuan is brave and strategic, and he is indeed a rare martial arts talent......

Song Chen didn't directly respond to his request, but asked: "The Qin family's single biography, just your son, aren't you worried that there will be danger on the battlefield?" ”

Qin Yuan was indifferent, and once again clarified what he had just persuaded his parents.

Song Chen nodded with satisfaction, feeling that this young man was worthy of use, and he said, "Okay! I will allow you to play, and I can go out with General Qin, and I will give you the position of general first, and if you win a great victory, you will be rewarded. ”

"Weichen takes the order!"

Qin Yuan knelt down and kowtowed before withdrawing.

After receiving the military position by the holy order, the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when he came out of the palace gate, he thought of his mother's words, and his eyebrows narrowed slightly.

There is also his fiancée in Luofu, that brave and shy girl, who is about to leave for the northwest the day after tomorrow, and the original wedding date must be delayed, even ...... In case I have three strengths and two shortcomings, I am afraid that I will fail her.

Sighing lightly, he mounted his horse and headed towards Luofu.

Because he hadn't gotten married yet, according to the etiquette, he couldn't see Luo Shu directly, so he went to meet his father-in-law Luo Shijin first.

Luo Shijin was not surprised by the arrival of his future son-in-law, as soon as Qin Mu went, the children's marriage would have to be postponed, and the son-in-law came to explain that it was reasonable to make amends, but to his surprise, Qin Yuan actually told him that he was also going to the northwest.

Seeing that Luo Shijin was stunned, Qin Yuan hurriedly explained further, and also told the story of his entry into the palace to face the saint, and after Luo Shijin's accident, he also had understanding and appreciation in his heart.

But any man with ambition, the one who is willing to eat his father's old book and mediocre life? His son-in-law has his own ideals and ambitions, and has the confidence and ambition to serve the country and kill the enemy, which is a good thing, which shows that his daughter really did not see the wrong person.

But even if it is a battlefield, there must be danger, and he is also deeply worried about his son-in-law.

Qin Yuan's face was ashamed, and he said sincerely to Luo Shijin: "Although the junior can stretch his ambition here, he has to burden your mansion to wait for me, and the junior is really guilty in his heart, and he also asks the adult to convey his apology to the young lady on my behalf another day." ”

Luo Shijin smiled, "You don't have to change the day, and you don't need me to convey it, Shu'er is in the backyard, you can go and explain it to her in person." ”

Qin Yuan was stunned, "This ......"

That's not polite.

Luo Shijin said calmly, "If you go and say it in person, it is better than us conveying it, and she will feel a lot better." ”

After a pause, Qin Yuan finally bowed his head and said, "Yes, that's under your order."

Luo Shijin nodded, raised his hand to summon a subordinate, and took Qin Yuan to find Luo Shu.

In fact, when Qin Yuan entered the mansion just now, Luo Shu had already received the letter, like her father, she thought that Qin Yuan was here to inform him of the delay in marriage, she knew that he was in trouble, and she didn't blame him. But she wanted to meet him, since she decided to marry last year, she couldn't go out of the door, so she couldn't go to the last birthday banquet of Mrs. Shen, she hadn't seen him for half a year, she missed him a lot.

This girl was secretly thinking about how to sneak a look at him in the boudoir, but when she heard the maid come to report, Qin Yuan came directly to the backyard, saying that she had something to tell her, and was waiting for her in the flower hall. Unexpected and surprised, the girl's heart suddenly beat like a drum, and after being at a loss for a while, she looked in the mirror again and again, and finally settled down a little, and walked out of the door with her feet raised.

Qin Yuan was sitting upright in the flower pavilion, with hot tea just served in front of him, he was actually a little hesitant, and he was secretly thinking about how to explain his decision to the girl. Just as he was thinking, I heard a slight sound of footsteps in my ears.

The young man raised his eyes and saw a girl dressed in a red embroidered dress.

In all fairness, Luo Shu is indeed a beauty, although she is not as good as Chu Xue, she is also the number one noble girl in the capital, otherwise she would not have attracted an endless stream of matchmakers who have come to the door in recent years.

And Qin Yuan's feelings for Chu Xue or Wenwen are more of the friendship accumulated when she was a child, not just because of her outstanding appearance, you must know that Wenwen was just a childish little girl back then, what beauty can she have?

So Qin Yuan is not a person who judges people by their appearance, so when he was still thinking about Wenwen in his heart before, he had never had a deep impression of any woman's appearance, but perhaps out of guilt for this girl who was about to become his wife, at this moment, the picture of Luo Shu walking slowly towards him was actually imprinted in his mind.

Seeing Qin Yuan standing up politely, Luo Shu spoke first and greeted generously, "Lord Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you always been okay?" ”

Qin Yuan also made a gentleman's salute and said, "It's okay here, I don't know how the young lady is?" ”

"It's fine." Luo Shu had already come closer, her beautiful face smiled, and she politely gave up her seat, "You don't have to be polite. You may be seated. ”

The two of them sat down slowly, and after a brief greeting, there was a moment of silence, and Luo Shu's face flushed slightly.

As a man, he should be frank and generous, Qin Yuan coughed lightly and said the purpose of this trip, "I came down today, in fact, I asked the young lady and your mansion to ask for guilt......"

Luo Shu listened silently, wanting to wait for him to finish speaking, and then he said, "It's not in the way, the marriage date can be postponed until after General Qin's class returns to the dynasty", but to her surprise, she heard Qin Yuan say that he himself would also go to the battlefield, and it would be the day after tomorrow.

The girl was stunned, she couldn't react for a moment, and looked up at the young man opposite.

Qin Yuan saw the surprise in her clear eyes, and the guilt in his heart deepened, he lowered his head slightly and once again said that he had explained his original intention of Congrong in front of his parents, the Son of Heaven, and the future father-in-law, and apologized, "This incident happened suddenly, because the army will go to the northwest the day after tomorrow, so I can only tell it now, and I hope that Miss will forgive me." ”

Luo Shu has been listening silently, and finally came back to his senses, this is the first time he has told himself such a long paragraph, if it was before, she must be shy and happy, but when she understood his inner thoughts with his words, and then thought of the cruel environment he was about to face, her heart was full of reluctance and distress.

Although she is a pampered woman, she has also read books and can understand the cruelty of war, at this moment, her mind is full of bloody battlefields depicted in her imagination, thinking that her sweetheart is about to leave, her heart is mixed, and she is speechless for a while.

Qin Yuan wanted to say something more, but he hadn't faced girls much, and he didn't know how to comfort his fiancée in front of him.

After a long time, Luo Shu finally spoke, she lowered her eyes, and said softly: "The little girl understands the ambition of the adult, and the adult is dedicated to serving the country, which really makes the little girl admire...... It's just that the battlefield is violent and the sword has no eyes, and I hope that the adults will be careful on this trip and will return safely. ”

Qin Yuan was moved by the girl's affectionate words, and for a moment he thought of her brave and sincere confession in the teahouse that day, his heart was hot, and he couldn't tell whether he was guilty or moved.

The words and reasons for the apology have been explained clearly, after all, they have not officially married, and it is not polite to face it for too long, in order to avoid suspicion, Qin Yuan got up and wanted to leave.

The marriage was delayed for a while, she was helpless, she wanted to see her sweetheart, she should be happy in her heart, who would have thought that her sweetheart would bring such news, Luo Shu felt uncomfortable, and the gloomy expression when she got up to send her off completely revealed the reluctance in her heart.

He only walked out of the flower hall for a few steps, but saw Qin Yuan suddenly turn around, and after standing up, he solemnly said to her: "It's hard to be safe here, if I have a ...... Please also take care of the lady and find another lover. ”

These words are sincere, although he will do his best to kill the enemy, but the battlefield is a real sword and real gun you fight to the death, he does not dare to guarantee that he can return safe and sound, and he can't bear to let such a girl who simply loves him waste his youth.

But when the girl heard this, she was stunned at first, but after she reacted, she lost the shyness and reserve she had just now, Luo Shu's beautiful eyes swelled with moisture, and she looked at the young man firmly, and said: "I will keep waiting, waiting for the adults to return safely, if the adults really have a chance, I Luo Shu will not marry for life, and I will keep the festival for you!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for the reaction of the person in front of him, he hurried back to the boudoir.

Tears were already flowing, and she didn't want him to see her ugly crying, so she had to avoid him. I hope that if he can think of himself on the battlefield in the future, it will be his strong side.

Two days later, the long-lost Qin family army reassembled, Qin Mu and Qin Yuan's father and son both went into battle, set off from the capital, traveled all the way for more than 20 days, and finally arrived at the northwest battlefield.

~~

The soldiers are bathed in blood outside, the king is diligent in the government, for a month, Song Chen is especially busy, not only is dinner not used in Yufu Palace, sometimes he is too late, he no longer bothers Chu Xue's mother and daughter, so he rests in the Qinzheng Palace. Chu Xue misses her husband, and Le'er also misses her father, but Chu Xue understands that he is busy with business, so she doesn't bother him, but stays in her palace silently, often making some snacks to make soup and send it to Fugui.

On this day, Song Chen finally had some time and returned to Yufu Palace before dinner.

Le'er will be one year old in a few days, not only can walk, but also has understood a lot of things, at first glance when he heard the rumors of the palace people outside the palace gate, faster than the mother's reaction, trotted to the door to meet the father.

Song Chen picked up the little man who rushed over, took a sip of incense, and then looked into the hall, and saw Chu Xue saluting him with a smile.

"Let's be flat." He said softly, and led the people to the dinner table.

Seeing the fish porridge she loved, Xiao Le'er stretched out her hand and pointed to her father, "Porridge, porridge." ”

The little girl had already babbled and knew a lot of words, Song Chen listened to her daughter's immature and clear voice, was in a very good mood, and asked, "Does Le'er like to eat porridge?" ”

The villain nodded firmly.

Chu Xue smiled and stretched out her hand to her daughter, "Le'er, come to the concubine for dinner." ”

Le'er likes her father, wants her father to hold her for a while, and thinks of eating porridge in her mother's arms, so she looks at her father for a while, and looks at her mother for a while, she seems very hesitant, Song Chen and Chu Xue are silent, waiting to see the villain's own choice.

After hesitating for a while, the little man finally made a decision, stretched out his little arm to his mother, and said, "Mother." ”

Chu Xue took it with a smile and glanced at Song Chen proudly.

I saw him raise his eyebrows and asked, "Doesn't Le'er like me, why do you only call me not me?" ”

Chu Xue chuckled and hurriedly explained to Le'er, "The emperor don't wronged Le'er, 'mother' is just one word, it's so good!" 'Father' can be said in two words, she is only so little, it is indeed a bit difficult! ”

Song Chen disagreed, and ordered: "Then teach her to be called 'Dad' first, this word can be faster, right?" ”

Chu Xue paused and said, "That's not etiquette, the concubine doesn't dare." ”

"It's okay to shout first in private." He leaned over slightly, and said to Le'er, who was looking at the fish porridge, "Le'er, call Dad." ”

But Xiao Le'er only had the bowl of fragrant fish porridge in her eyes, and she didn't even know what her father was talking about.

In Song Chen's enthusiastic and expectant eyes, the villain held back a loud word.

"Porridge!"

Immediately, the whole hall was full of joy.
