Sejong personally helped Zhou Yi up and ordered the chamberlain to give the generals three glasses of spirits in the palace.

"Father," Prince Bai promised to bring a glass of wine to Sejong.

Sejong held aloft a jade bowl full of spirits, and said to the generals in front of him, "You are going to the border for thousands of miles, I am here today to see off all the strong men, and when you triumph on the other day, I will also welcome you back outside the north gate of Kyoto!" I pray for a boy, born to be iron-clad, and will live up to my high hopes! ”

After the generals drank the three bowls of spirits from the expedition, they put the wine bowls in their hands on the ground, indicating that they would rather be broken than broken by jade than whole.

Outside the north gate, there is the largest flower market in Kyoto City, and at this moment, the rich fragrance of flowers in the air is replaced by the spicy taste of spirits, and the military flags are waving in the wind, and the war horses are neighing.

Sejong waved his hand at Zhou Yiyi, and the horn of the expedition sounded three times, Zhou Yi jumped on his horse, pointed the long sword in his hand to the north, and said loudly, "The three armies listen to my orders and set off!" ”

After Shangguan Yong turned over and got on the horse, he heard the voice of the second brother Shangguan Rui shouting his eldest brother from the crowd to see him off.

An Jinxiu looked at Shangguan Yong and smiled, holding the red rope that Shangguan Yong gave her in her hand and shook it at Shangguan Yong, she is a married woman, and it is not good to shout in the crowd like men and children, so she can only tell Shangguan Yong in this way that she is waiting for him to come back at home.

When Shangguan Yong saw the red rope, his heart was hot, and Chong An Jinxiu nodded vigorously. He will come back, for the sake of his wife, who is even more petite in the crowd, and for the sake of his younger siblings, he will definitely return safely. In the past, Shangguan Yong felt that with his background, it was good to raise his younger siblings well, but today, Shangguan Yong has more expectations for the future, and the four words of wife and cute son floated in Shangguan Yong's heart. Riding on horseback, Shangguan Yong frequently looked back at An Jinxiu, he couldn't forget the appearance of this little wife in his life, but General Shangguan just wanted to take a few more looks.

As the expeditionary army drifted away, Sejong sat on his chariot, and then felt the wind blowing on his cheeks, and Sejong followed the wind sideways, and at a glance saw An Jinxiu standing quietly in the crowd looking north. Sejong was stunned, when they first met, this little woman was still a girl in the period of marriage, but she hadn't seen her all night, but she was already dressed as a woman.

"Holy?" Ji Li whispered under the imperial chariot and asked, "Holy Lord, do you want to drive back to the palace?" ”

Sejong didn't pay attention to Ji Li, just looked at An Jinxiu, yes, Sejong remembered that An Jinxiu had married Shangguan Yong yesterday and was already the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family. Today's An Jinxiu is dressed in old homely clothes, with a plain face facing the sky, with a little sadness on her face, and she can't see the appearance of a bride at all. Sejong suddenly regretted it a little, and let Shangguan Yong go on the expedition on his wedding day, which he seems to have done.

"Sister-in-law, eldest brother is gone," Shangguan Ning pulled La'an's splendid dress at this time, pouted and said, "Sister-in-law, when will the eldest brother come back?" ”

An Jinxiu bent down and picked up Shangguan Ning, patted Shangguan Ning's little face lovingly, and said with a smile, "When the eldest brother finishes the battle, he will come back, Ning'er and sister-in-law are waiting for the eldest brother to come back at home, okay?" ”

Shangguan Ning looked unwillingly in the direction of Shangguan Yong's walk, at this time the expedition team was completely out of sight, and Shangguan Ning, who had no hope, buried his face in An Jinxiu's arms.

"I want to go with that, too!" An Yuanzhi said at this time, "Sister, when do you think I will be able to join the army?" ”

"After you practice your martial arts a little more," An Jinxiu hugged Shangguan Ning and turned around and walked towards the city, saying to An Yuanzhi.

An Yuanzhi took Shangguan Rui and followed behind An Jinxiu, and said unconvinced, "My martial arts are very good, sister, have you seen me practice martial arts?" ”

An Jinxiu heard An Yuanzhi's words, and felt guilty again, turned around and smiled apologetically at An Yuanzhi, and said, "Yes, yes, my sister hasn't seen you practice martial arts, but you are just anxious, wait for your brother-in-law to come back, I can rest assured that he will take you in the army." ”

"Joining the army with my brother-in-law?"

"He's also a general, so it's better to mention you next to him than for you to join the army alone, right?" An Jinxiu was talking, seeing that An Yuanzhi was already sweating all over his face, he was busy wiping it with the handbook he was holding in his hand, "It's too hot this day, when I go home, I'll boil the summer soup for you to drink." ”

An Yuanzhi was also used to getting along with An Jinxiu at this time, and instead of avoiding An Jinxiu's movements, he bent down slightly, so that An Jinxiu could reach his forehead.

"Go to the summer soup," Shangguan Ning heard that there was something to eat, and his mood was a little better, and he hurriedly asked An Jinxiu, "Sister-in-law, is it sweet?" ”

An Jinxiu wiped the sweat on An Yuanzhi's head and face, and wiped the sweat for Shangguan Rui, who was also sweating, and replied to Shangguan Ning's words with a smile, "Ning'er likes sweet soup?" Then the sister-in-law will cook the sweet summer soup. What about Uncle? Do you like sweets too? ”

Shangguan Rui stood a little embarrassed and asked An Jinxiu to wipe his sweat for him, and when he heard An Jinxiu ask himself, he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I am a man, and I don't like sweets." ”

"Second brother is talking nonsense," Shangguan Ning immediately shouted, "Even the eldest brother knows that you love candy the most!" ”

Boys don't like to admit that they love sweets when they are older, An Jinxiu looked at Shangguan Rui and pursed his lips and smiled, "We don't let outsiders know about Uncle loves sweets, just a few of us know." ”

An Yuanzhi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, we don't tell outsiders, Wei Jun," An Yuanzhi called Shangguan Rui's words, "You can eat sugar boldly at home." ”

Shangguan Rui was thin-skinned, and when the two sisters and brothers said this, they lowered their heads and walked quickly towards the city embarrassedly.

"Still shy?" An Yuanzhi chased after him with a smile.

"Second brother is ashamed," Shangguan Ning was also in An Jinxiu's arms, shaving his little face to shame Shangguan Rui.

"Little naughty!" An Jinxiu scratched Shangguan Ning's upturned little nose, and stepped to chase An Yuanzhi and Shangguan Rui, who had already run out in the blink of an eye.

Sejong saw An Jinxiu's frequent smiles at this time, and saw An Jinxiu's pitiful and pitiful appearance, crying pear blossoms with rain, at this time, such a gentle smile and calm demeanor of homely appearance, in Sejong's eyes, it was another kind of elegance. Born in the prince's mansion, is this woman really willing to be the wife of a military attache with five senses? Even if she is just a concubine, this woman deserves to marry a better husband.

"Go back to the palace," Sejong watched An Jinxiu blend into the crowd and walk away, before he said to the princes and ministers standing next to the imperial chariot, "You don't have to follow." ”

The crown prince led the kneeling to the ground and sent Sejong's royal car back to the palace.

Sejong ignored everyone's kneeling and sending them off, but thought in his heart, "If I get such a woman, I must love it like a treasure, and it is a pity that the An family has this girl but is raised in the deep boudoir." ”

"Let's drive back to the palace!" Geely shouted beside the royal chariot.

After Sejong's royal car entered the city, the crown prince marched into the city again, and then the princes and ministers dispersed at the gate of the northern city.

An Jinxiu carried Shangguan Ning to the place where they stored the carriage, An Yuanzhi was already sitting next to the driver, and Shangguan Rui poked out the first-class An Jinxiu and Shangguan Ning from the carriage.

Bai Chengze walked in front of the carriage with people, and after finding out that the person who was holding the child on the carriage was An Jinxiu, Bai Chengze stopped the horse.

"Sister," An Yuanzhi saw Bai Chengze before An Jinxiu, and after seeing Bai Chengze stop his horse and get off the horse and walk towards them, he hurriedly asked An Jinxiu to look back.

When An Jinxiu turned around, Bai Chengze had already walked in front of her, An Jinxiu subconsciously wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide.

Bai Chengze saw An Jinxiu turn around before he stopped, and called An Jinxiu softly, "Second Miss." ”

An Jinxiu had no choice but to bow his knees at Bai Chengze, and said, "Shangguan An has seen the Fifth Highness." ”

Shangguan An's self-proclaimed voice was heard in his ears, and Bai Chengze asked himself, what was he going to do when he got off the horse and walked in front of this newlywed woman? For the few letters between them? After a pause, Bai Chengze said to An Jinxiu, "Yesterday was your wedding day, although this congratulations is late, I still want to say this to you." ”

An Jinxiu lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Five." ”

"The border war is urgent, so General Shangguan has to go on an expedition with the army," Bai Chengze said again, "Don't be too sad." ”

"The general serves the country, and the concubine is not sad."

"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can send someone to me, and I will help you."

An Jinxiu bowed her knees to Bai Chengze again, "The concubine doesn't dare to bother His Royal Highness." ”

Bai Chengze helped An Jinxiu and said softly, "You and I are not strangers, so you don't have to be so polite." ”

When An Jinxiu heard Bai Chengze say this, she just lowered her head and smiled, not saying a word.

Bai Chengze saw that An Jinxiu was obviously estranged from him, and he didn't care, and said with a smile, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, you just remember that if you have something in the future, send someone to find me." After saying this, Bai Chengze didn't wait for An Jinxiu's reply, so he got back on his horse and left with people.

An Yuanzhi wanted to come forward just now, but he was stopped by An Jinxiu's gaze and didn't come, and at this time, seeing Bai Chengze leaving with someone, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fifth Highness, how can he seem to be familiar with his sister?" ”

An Yuanzhi's tone was a little rushed, An Jinxiu thought that this younger brother of hers must have heard about her and Bai Chengze at home, sighed, and said to An Yuanzhi, "I met him in the prince's East Palace." ”

An Yuanzhi looked back at the Shangguan brothers and sisters who were sitting in the carriage and looking at their sisters and brothers, lowered his voice and asked An Jinxiu: "It's not true that those words spread at home are true, right?" ”

An Jinxiu said: "What did I say at home? ”

An Yuanzhi said: "I heard people talk about it the day before yesterday, saying that His Royal Highness the Fifth King asked to marry his sister. ”

An Jinxiu's face changed, "People are talking nonsense, you are also talking nonsense?" ”

An Yuanzhi saw An Jinxiu's face change, and hurriedly said, "I don't believe this, my sister and wife are good, Your Royal Highness or something, it has nothing to do with us." ”

An Jinxiu looked at the traffic of people on the street for a while, reliving a life, she only had the opportunity to take a good look at the appearance of Kyoto City today, and then looked at these former street pedestrians after the next life, An Jinxiu only felt strange and dazed. She didn't think of the battle that happened in July, but Shangguan Yong in the previous life must not have accompanied the army on the expedition, otherwise how would he marry her in August? Things are different, An Jinxiu panicked for no reason, she used to think that it was a good thing that things were different from the previous life, which meant that she would not take the old path again, but now, thinking of Shangguan Yong who went to Baiyuguan, her husband would also win a hundred battles on the battlefield like in the previous life, and not let the enemy hurt him at all?

An Yuanzhi saw An Jinxiu's face pale, and hurriedly admitted his mistake to An Jinxiu, "Sister, I said the wrong thing, don't be angry, I won't say these things in the future, okay?" ”

An Jinxiu smiled reluctantly, "As long as you believe in me with your mother, the other people in Anfu, just let them say whatever they like, I'm afraid that a married daughter won't be able to talk behind their backs?" ”

An Yuanzhi looked at An Jinxiu's expression and said, "Then are you really not angry?" ”

An Jinxiu said: "I'm just worried about your brother-in-law suddenly." ”

An Yuanzhi casually wanted to say, how can there be immortals in war? The words came to his lips, and he suddenly remembered that the person was his brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law will be fine, sister, you can wait for him to come back at home." ”

An Jinxiu looked at An Yuanzhi and said, "Are you so sure?" ”

An Yuanzhi said very naturally, "Brother-in-law is not short-lived at first glance, besides, I haven't joined the army yet, how can anything happen to my brother-in-law?" ”

What does it have to do with your military membership and Shangguan Yong's accident? An Jinxiu shook her head, she really thought that An Yuanzhi was a young and old man, but after really getting along, An Jinxiu found out that An Yuanzhi's so-called young man was pretending to be eighty percent old, this person not only talked a lot, but also had an outgoing personality.

An Yuanzhi put An Jinxiu into the carriage, and said again, "His Royal Highness Fifth looks like a good person, a very kind person." ”

"I didn't let you come forward, I just didn't want you to get close to His Royal Highness," An Jinxiu just walked a few steps, and when she heard An Yuanzhi's words, she stopped and whispered, "If you want to join the army, you can practice martial arts with all your heart, learn military books and battle strategies." ”

"That's what I said," An Yuanzhi smiled indifferently, he didn't hear the deep meaning of An Jinxiu's words, he is a concubine who is not on the stage in An Fu, can he talk to His Royal Highnesses? In An Yuanzhi's mind, his sister couldn't avoid the Fifth Highness.

An Jinxiu got into the carriage, fanning Shangguan Ning, who was lying on the window and watching the street scene, while thinking about his own thoughts. An Yuanzhi said that Bai Chengze is good, this is not surprising, Bai Chengze treats people gently, and he can put down his status as a prince when he interacts with anyone, this kind of seemingly heart-to-heart treatment, I don't know how many helpers he recruited for him in his last life to help him become the emperor. In the last life, An Jinxiu closed her eyes, Bai Chengze, who did not become an emperor, treated her as a married woman with all her tenderness, but in the end?

"Sister-in-law, look," Shangguan Ning called An Jinxiu at this time to look out the car window.

An Jinxiu looked out of the car window, and it turned out that what attracted Shangguan Ning's attention was a small stall selling masks. "Ning'er wants?" An Jinxiu asked Shangguan Ningdao, but she was thinking in her heart, why was the mask on Bai Chengze's face in the previous life so stupid that he couldn't see it?
