In the Zichen Palace, Emperor Guangzhao and Chu Zihou sat opposite each other.

Looking at Chu Zihou, who was fit, sharpened, and more and more manly, Emperor Guangzhao showed a pleased smile.

"You've been worrying about Guang'an lately, right? You look like you've lost a lot of weight. Emperor Guangzhao asked with a smile.

"Yes, father, there is no way, the sons will involuntarily worry about her." Chu Zihou replied truthfully.

"I understand, I understand." Emperor Guangzhao said. Thinking that back then, he and Queen Gina were separated from each other for eighteen years, isn't that kind of feeling of missing every day just like Chu Zihou and Shen Xizhen now?

Everyone has their own dilemmas and limitations, even Emperor Guangzhao, who is the lord of a country. Emperor Guangzhao remembered the eighteen years, and his hatred for Shi Wenci was born from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, he has now reunited with Queen Gina, and Shi Wenci has also been sent to the cold palace, she can't pose a threat to them, but he thought of the crown prince Chu Zican, anyway, Shi Wenci is Chu Zican's biological mother.

But when he thought of what Shi Wenci had done, how could Emperor Guangzhao not be able to completely forgive, that woman, speaking of which, which incident was not her fault in the end?

Emperor Guangzhao sighed slightly.

It is said that poor people must have their hate, and some people really can't be pitied.

Emperor Guangzhao was pondering, and Gonggong Liu reported: "Your Majesty, the prince asks to see you." ”

Emperor Guangzhao glanced at Chu Zihou, and Chu Zihou nodded in welcome.

"Let him in." Emperor Guangzhao said loudly.

Chu Zican walked in from outside with a respectful face and saw Chu Zihou also there. A hint of displeasure flashed in Chu Zican's eyes.

The second brother has been in contact with his father too closely recently, and Chu Zican said secretly in his heart.

But although Chu Zihou knew that he was unhappy in his heart, he was not afraid at all. Before. Chu Zihou will still have a lot of scruples about him, and now, although Chu Zihou will also take into account his feelings, he will not make any deliberate concessions because of this.

"I don't know if you disturbed my father and second brother?" Chu Zican asked.

"No, we're just chatting, is the princess okay?" Emperor Guangzhao asked him.

"Fortunately, it's past the first trimester. The reaction was not so strong, and he was enjoying the flowers in the back garden with the queen at this time. Chu Zican replied. Every time he said the ballad of the flower moon, the corners of his mouth would involuntarily rise.

The character of the flower moon ballad is good. Queen Gina's temperament is also excellent, so these two people can get along. It stands to reason that Chu Zican's mother was sent to the cold palace and had nothing to do with Queen Gina, but Huayue Balad didn't seem to know the relationship at all. Treat Queen Gina like her own mother. But he rarely mentioned Shi Wenci, who was beaten into the cold palace, and never visited her.

Her appearance made Chu Zican a little dissatisfied, but when she thought that now that Gina was the queen, it would be beneficial for her to have a closer relationship with the queen for his future succession, so she didn't interfere much.

It's just that Queen Gina's biological son is Chu Zihou, and in history, there are few queens who don't want their sons to be emperors.

Think of these. Chu Zican was a little upset again.

He believed that Empress Gina and Kazuki Yu would not be unaware of the differences in each other's positions and the stakes involved. But they get along with a rare harmony, is it from the heart or with their own goals? Chu Zican was a little unsure, he suddenly felt that there were few people around him who were simple.

"Father, the rivers of the three cities of Tianyun, Tianxiang and Tianxiang have been dredged." Chu Zican respectfully reported to Emperor Guangzhao while presenting the completed number of related jù to Emperor Guangzhao in literal form.

This was a task specially assigned to him by Emperor Guangzhao.

He knew that this was a rare opportunity to make meritorious contributions and prove his ability, so he went all out, and the result was indeed very satisfying to him.

Emperor Guangzhao looked at those counts carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Good job!" ”

"Thank you, Father!" Chu Zican hurriedly said, while looking at Chu Zihou from the corner of his eye.

Chu Zihou sat calmly, as if these things did not affect his mood at all.

Chu Zican's original intention of provoking him suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Father-in-law Liu, go and call Chu Ziyao." Emperor Guangzhao commanded.

After a while, Chu Ziyao walked in quickly.

Looking at his three sons, who had all grown up, Emperor Guangzhao's face was overflowing with smiles.

"Let's go, let's play polo, Zican, last time you let me a ball, this time you are not allowed to let it again." Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile.

"Okay." Chu Zican didn't dare to say much, and hurriedly agreed.

The four of them happily left the Zichen Hall and rode straight to the garden and pasture on the outskirts.

When everyone was playing enthusiastically, someone came to report: "Guang'an Hou and his party have arrived in Yingzhou, and it is estimated that they will be able to return to the capital tomorrow afternoon." ”

Hearing the news, the four of them were overjoyed, Chu Zihou was the happiest, the woman he loved had finally returned safely, and he would soon be able to see her.

That night, Chu Zihou had a rare restful sleep.

Early the next morning, he entered the palace.

Whether it was in the last dynasty or when he was discussing with Emperor Guangzhao, his heart was concerned about the news of Xizhen's return to Beijing.

With such a mood, Chu Zihou felt that this day had passed like a year.

"Father, Erchen wants to go out of the palace to see, Guang'an Hou is supposed to come back from the road in Xiaoye Town in the west, and Erchen wants to pick her up."

"Look at you, after learning the news that she is about to come back, I can't bear to stop you, then you go and pick her up in person, remember to come to see me as soon as you return to Beijing."

"Okay, thank you, Father!" Chu Zihou, who had received permission, immediately took ten guards and rode out of the palace and galloped towards Xiaoye Town.

The capital is getting closer and closer, and Xizhen's mood is getting more and more excited.

This mission to Gan Guo and Shiguo not only opened her eyes, but also gained friendship between the two countries, and also received a large number of donated books, so she was in a good mood along the way.

The early summer climate in the capital is not too hot, and there is a lot of shade along the way, so although Xizhen has experienced a long journey, he does not feel tired, but the closer he gets to the capital, the more energetic he becomes.

She knew that she would soon be able to see Chu Zihou.

He must have been worried in the days she was gone, right? I don't know if I will lose weight, she thinks like this while wishing to return to the palace immediately.

Da came with the sound of horses' hooves, and Shen Xizhen and his party immediately raised their vigilance.

When someone approached, everyone found that it was King Qingping who led ten guards to greet him, and everyone hurriedly saluted him.

Chu Zihou went straight to Xi Zhen's face, staring at her without blinking.

Her complexion looked darker than before because of the long journey, but there was also a silent allure to her wheat-colored skin.

And she noticed that his expression was more serious than before. Since the two were so close, she smelled the male breath on his body, and her heart trembled.

Their eyes intertwined for a long time.

"They didn't embarrass you, did they?" Chu Zihou took her hand and asked.

"No, they're all very nice to me, and we've signed a friendly agreement with them." Hee Zhen replied, squeezing his hand back hard.

The warmth between the palms instantly spread to each other's bodies, making everyone feel a kind of joy of reunion after a long absence.

"Tonight, I'll send you home." He whispered in her ear.

"Okay." Xi Zhen replied in a low voice, and a few more red clouds flew on his face. (To be continued......)
