September 15, 100 years of the new calendar, August 8 of the old calendar, the mansion of the little eldest princess.

Because it was a secret wedding, only close relatives were invited, and after the wedding in the chapel, a table was simply set up.

It's not grand, and it even looks shabby.

It's just that for the two newcomers, it is extremely happy.

According to custom, after worshipping heaven and earth, they became husband and wife. Although there is a royal amnesty, according to folk customs, Zhang Xiaoqing should be called Bai Zhang in the future.

Don't forget, the little eldest princess has not given up her folk identity.

As for the candles in the cave room, everything is also simple.

To say, the one who is not very comfortable in my heart is Bai Zhizhan.

"After this battle is over, wait for me to come back from the front and do it again." Bai Zhizhan really didn't know what to say, after all, what the cave house should do was done a few months ago.

"Second wedding?"

"Of course it's not the second time, it's a reissue, it's a ......"

"I'm very satisfied that I can marry you."

"Xiaoqing......"

"In a few months, you'll be a father."

"What?"

Bai Zhizhan didn't react for a moment, feeling that he had heard it wrong.

"I also knew it, so I ......"

"Just that once...... You mean, you're pregnant!? ”

Zhang Xiaoqing nodded, looking very shy.

At this time, Bai Zhizhan became excited.

It was the one half a month ago, and he had just flown back from that ball port.

As the saying goes, a little farewell is like a newlywed.

I came in a hurry that night, but I didn't expect it to hit it.

Although excited, Bai Zhizhan did not get carried away.

It's just that the cave house can only be used for show.

After the two got engaged, they lived together, and the so-called cave house is just a traditional saying, and young people nowadays don't eat this set at all.

Even Bai Zhizhan and Zhang Xiaoqing are not young people.

This night, Bai Zhizhan did not sleep at all.

However, it is not only the war that has not fallen asleep.

The imperial capital, Haikun Mansion.

After Liu Changhe finished speaking, the old man sitting on the Taishi's chair nodded slightly.

He is Liu Chongcheng, the grandson of Liu Zhentang, the current patriarch of the Liu family, and one of the most powerful figures in the empire.

At the beginning of the year, it was he who went to find the Holy One and proposed to the Holy One.

Although he was blocked by the Empress Dowager's decree, Liu Chongcheng did not give up, and stayed in Haikun Mansion in the imperial capital and did not return to his hometown in the south.

The little eldest princess is just engaged, not a big wedding.

Even if young people are very unrestrained now, they live together after they get engaged, and do things for men and women, but what the Liu family wants is not a virgin, but the name of the royal family.

Only now, that dream has been shattered.

Liu Changhe began to talk about this matter, the little eldest princess had secretly held a big wedding with Bai Zhizhan.

According to the news that Liu Changhe inquired, the saint issued a secret edict, canonized Bai Zhizhan as the prince of Chongqing, and gave all the names corresponding to the horses.

However, it has not been announced yet.

The big wedding, which was originally scheduled to be held before the Chung Yeung Festival, is still in preparation, and there is no saying that it will be cancelled.

The key is that the royal family did not announce that the little eldest princess has been married.

As for the reason, Liu Changhe also mentioned it.

"What did Changxun say?"

"Is this an arrangement made by the Holy Lord and Shousuke, or is it to deal with possible changes. According to the current situation, we must be worried that the Newland Federation will launch a surprise attack when the White Stop War holds a big wedding, so I secretly hold a big wedding in advance, and then we can rush to the front line. ”

"What about Xiang Zhen?"

"He only said that the current situation is very tense, and the Nuland Federation may enter the war at any time, and the first assistant is pressuring him to reconcile with the White Stop."

"So, the battle has been decided."

Liu Changhe hesitated a little before saying: "Although the big wedding has been held, it has not been announced to the public, and it will not be announced in advance." If the war broke out at that time, he would have to rush to the front line, and he might not be able to complete the wedding, and the secret wedding might not be serious. ”

"You mean ......"

"No matter how powerful the horse master is, after he dies, he is just a corpse. What's more, if you die in a naval battle, I'm afraid you won't even have a skeleton left. ”

Liu Chongcheng didn't speak, but closed his eyes.

"Father's ......"

That's right, Liu Changhe is Liu Chongcheng's son!

This is also the key to Liu Changhe's always being reused, he is the eldest of the Liu family, and the first heir to the Duke of Haikun.

What about Liu Changxun?

His grandfather is Liu Zhentang's youngest son, that is, Liu Chongcheng's uncle, and this "youngest son" Liu Nengrui was brought back by Liu Zhentang from outside, so in terms of blood relationship, he can only be regarded as a distant cousin. In the order of succession to the title, it is sent after one hundred.

Regarding the identity of Liu Changxun's grandfather, it has always been questioned.

Although Liu Zhentang solved the problem of identity for Liu Nengrui when he was alive, until now, some people in the Liu family feel that Liu Nengrui is not Liu Zhentang's blood and blood at all. The key is that Liu Nengrui's appearance and figure are not similar to Liu Zhentang in any way.

Even if the son is like a mother, it is impossible not to be like a father at all.

This matter also involves a rumor related to Chen Bingxun.

Chen Bingxun has a son!

It's just that he was not born to an imperial princess, but an illegitimate child.

It is rumored that he died shortly after birth.

Because the people in the know have long since passed away, no one knows whether this rumor is true or not. What's more, because it involves the reputation of the royal family and the reputation of the god of war, no one dares to track it down.

The key is that Liu Zhentang is Chen Bingxun's most trusted subordinate, known for his cold arrogance, not like the kind of person who has an extramarital affair.

The most important evidence is that when Liu Zhentang returned to the empire with Liu Nengrui, the imperial navy was besieging the Kibu fortress in Fanyanyang. Soon after, Chen Bingxun was wounded in battle and died on his way back to China for medical treatment. If Liu Zhentang hadn't left, it would not have been Chen Bingxun who commanded the battle on the front line.

It is precisely because of this that some people believe that Chen Bingxun's son did not die, but was taken away by Liu Zhentang.

Although Liu Zhentang left a legacy and let Liu Nengrui enter his ancestral hometown, after a hundred years, Liu Nengrui was still regarded as an outsider.

If it weren't for his outstanding ability and Zhu Shijian's appreciation, Liu Changxun wouldn't have been able to climb up at all.

"Do you think that's the right thing to do?"

"But ......"

"If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached? The country is gone, is there still a home? Liu Chongcheng let out a long breath before he opened his eyes and said: "The top priority is to win the next battle, seize the initiative on the battlefield, and lay the foundation for victory." If you win, then it's easy to say anything. ”

"This ......"

"Do you really think that you can win the battle by relying on the real one? This is a bitter battle, and there will be sacrifices, so I can only hope that the one who sacrifices is not surnamed Liu. ”

Liu Changhe was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood.

"Remember, the country comes first. Our Liu family has been loyal and good for generations, and we have done our best for the empire, no matter who we are, we can't ruin the reputation of the Liu family and can't disgrace our ancestors. However, we will never allow traitors to enter the center of imperial power and defile the imperial family. ”

"Understood."

"You know a!"

"Father's ......"

"Do you really understand that sitting in the position of commander-in-chief of the Navy will be that wild seed!?"

"But ......"

"It's not helpful to say more. Take my advice and go. ”

"Yes!"

After Liu Chongcheng's order, Liu Changhe dared to be verbose, and immediately retreated.
