Duan Haochu stepped out of the carriage, stared at the plaque hanging on the lintel of Duan's mansion, and stretched his body.

Due to the long fatigue of the journey, the man's face had a faint tiredness, but this did not detract from the demeanor of the young man in the slightest.

He is no longer young, no longer a teenager.

But what is amazing is that the years have not left obvious traces on Duan Haochu's face, but only mild his contours and polished his bearing. Time has given him a thicker and more mellow charm, which cannot be achieved by any young age, from his eyes, his demeanor, his gestures.

The awe-inspiring righteousness seems to have penetrated into the bones of young people.

Just a short stay on the street, there were already many Huizhou fathers and villagers surrounding them.

Duan Zhiyun pounced on him like a bird, excitedly pulling Duan Haochu to ask questions. The eldest brother is like a father, Duan Haochu stroked her head kindly, took the gift bought from the god capital from the hand of Steward Wang, and put it in the girl's hand, attracting envious eyes from the surroundings.

Compared with Duan Zhiyun's surprise, Duan Lizheng was more surprised.

Compared with the younger sister who has not been able to see his eldest brother in his hometown in Huizhou for many years, he has been studying in Shendu for the past two years, and he lives in his eldest brother's mansion in Shendu on the days of school holidays, and the two brothers often meet.

Recently, he left Shendu with Princess Jinyang's car, and he was separated from his eldest brother for a long time.

never thought that he had returned to Huizhou for more than a month, and the eldest brother, who was an official in Shendu and held a high position, actually returned to his hometown without warning.

"Lizheng, what's wrong? Don't you want me to come back? ”

Noticing that his younger brother was standing behind and looking at him with complicated eyes, Duan Haochu asked gently.

"Big brother, why did you come back?" Duan Lizheng stepped forward, stared into his eldest brother's eyes, and asked.

He is not a sister who is ignorant of the world, and he doesn't think that on this day when he is not celebrating the New Year, the return of his brother who is far away in Shendu will be a happy event.

"Is something wrong?" Duan Lizheng continued to ask.

"Second brother, why do you ask that? The eldest brother finally returned home. Can't you just be happy? Duan Zhiyun pulled Duan Lizheng's sleeve dissatisfiedly and muttered.

"Let's go in and talk." Duan Haochu looked at his younger brother who was a little nervous in front of him, looked around, and said lightly.

Duan Lizheng's forehead, the three brothers and sisters walked into the door of their house side by side.

……

……

The news of Duan Haochu's return soon spread throughout Huizhou City, including the Lingyan Temple outside Huizhou City.

When the news reached Lingyan Temple, Zhu Luan was sleeping soundly on Princess Jinyang's bed.

Princess Jinyang sat on a round stool not far from the bed, eating snacks while flipping through the scriptures for a while.

Hearing that the curtain of the meditation room was gently lifted, the Tao lady walked in lightly, and when she came in, her face was full of worry, and she glanced at the bed silently.

Princess Jinyang was a little dissatisfied when she saw someone coming in, but when she saw the solemn expression of the Tao girl, she frowned, beckoned to the Tao girl, and motioned for her to come to her side.

"What's wrong?" Princess Jinyang asked softly.

"There's urgent information from the Wind Pavilion." Lady Tao said in a low voice.

"What information?" At this moment, a curious voice suddenly came from the side, and the two who were originally cautious were startled.

"Can't you say anything when you're awake?" Princess Jinyang said angrily, looked to the side, and saw the girl's green silk scattered, and she was standing up from the bed.

"Just woke up." Zhu Luan showed a somewhat trance-like smile, and the previous Q&A with Mr. Nanshan still had a certain loss of her mind.

Princess Jinyang stared at her, and the girl who had just woken up was still a little confused, looking even younger.

"I just vaguely heard information from the Storm Pavilion, what kind of information is it?" Zhu Luan asked while rubbing his eyes slightly.

"This ......" Lady Tao looked at the girl in front of her with a stunned expression, she thought that her voice was small enough, but she didn't expect to be listened to by this woman, but the Wind Pavilion is a secret intelligence agency of the imperial family, and it cannot be known to outsiders.

She looked at Princess Jinyang in embarrassment.

"It's okay, you can say it." Princess Jinyang said disapprerovingly.

Lady Tao's eyes were even more surprised, and she glanced at the girl not far away, and then said, "Duan Yuma, who was supposed to be in the Shendu, suddenly appeared in Huizhou City today. ”

Without waiting for Princess Jinyang and Zhu Luan to react, Lady Tao continued, "Although it is an urgent report from the Wind Pavilion, it is actually the Wind Pavilion that came to ask for the guilt, just a quarter of an hour ago, Duan Yuma's carriage had already entered Huizhou City, and the Wind Pavilion had not been aware of this matter before he entered the city, so he came to ask for the guilt. ”

"Didn't you find out about him until you entered the city?" Princess Jinyang's eyes widened, "What does he want to do?" Why hide your whereabouts? After Princess Jinyang finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to have noticed something, and said suspiciously, "No, why did he come back suddenly?" ”

Lady Tao just wanted to speak, but there was a sudden crisp sound next to her, Princess Jinyang and Lady Tao followed the prestige and found that the girl seemed to be in a hurry to get out of bed and knocked over a round stool.

"Duan? Who's that? Zhu Luan stared at Lady Tao and asked.

There are few princesses in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and none of the married princesses have the surname Duan, and the only remaining princess of Jinyang is not yet married.

A sense of foreboding suddenly struck her.

"Duan Yuma is naturally the husband of Princess Yingluan, Duan Haochu, the head of the household." Lady Tao replied.

Zhu Luan had a ghostly expression on his face when he heard this.

Female Officer Tao looked at Zhu Luan with a strange expression, she didn't understand why this girl asked, and she was so shocked, this is obviously a household name in the whole Zhou.

"Aunt Tao, you go out first." Princess Jinyang took a deep breath and said suddenly.

The Tao lady didn't know why, but she still bowed and walked out of the meditation room.

When the figure of the Tao female official disappeared completely, Zhu Luan turned his head to look at Princess Jinyang in disbelief as if he had been pricked by a needle, and asked, "What horse?" ”

Princess Jinyang stiffened, coughed a few times, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Sister Huang, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you." ”

She said with difficulty, "Didn't you have an accident three days ago when you married Duan Haochu, and then when the royal master of ceremonies gave Duan Haochu the obituary, he suddenly knelt down in front of the Mingguang Palace, and begged the queen mother to let the wedding be held as scheduled." ”

Zhu Luan was like a thunderbolt, and she asked in disbelief, "So, then what?" ”

"The queen mother was hit too hard back then, and her spirit was already a little trance-like, you and he have already finished the three books and six ceremonies......" Princess Jinyang's voice contained a hint of touch, "Duan Haochu knelt in front of the Mingguang Palace for three days, and the other courtiers and royal relatives persuaded that this matter was reasonable, and your wedding was held as scheduled." ”

Princess Jinyang recalled the situation at that time, although she was still young, she still remembered it vividly.

At the grand wedding, the young man in the big red wedding dress bowed down to the queen of heaven alone, and the expression on his face was calm and gentle, like the deepest pool of water, which was unpredictable.

And Tanhualang was actually willing to be a widower for the dead Princess Yingluan and hold a secret marriage, which was rumored in the Shendu at that time.

Although there are many people who praise Duan Juma for his infatuation, in this world, there are many widowed women, and there are very few men who are willing to be widowers.

There are also idlers who say that Duan Haochu wants to be a concubine and wants to go crazy, and even the deceased princess is willing to marry, Duan Haochu, who originally had a bright future, was damaged because of this incident, and he was silent in the court for several years before he rose step by step with his impeccable political achievements.

"So?" Zhu Luan asked.

"Duan Haochu became the concubine of the Great Zhou royal family ten years ago and became your ......," Princess Jinyang added while peeking at Zhu Luan's face, "I have become your husband." ”

Zhu Luan was stunned.
