The two of them were talking affectionately, and Chen Xi glanced at the table clock in the corner of the room, which was almost at the beginning of the year. He hesitated to get up and go back now, but Du Mingxin pulled his chin and made his face face face to him, staring at him with a good look.

"What, what's wrong?" It can be seen that Chen Xi's heart is a little empty. After thinking about it, I didn't do anything wrong, what did I false?

"What are you looking at? Reluctant to let me go? Chen Xi scratched Du Mingxin's nose, hugged her and smiled, "I'll be back in the evening......"

"I'm looking to see if you look like the emperor." Du Ming looked at Chen Xi's face intently.

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said faintly: "This idea was spread when the emperor named me the king of Jin, and the queen mother also scolded it...... Later, when we got married, in order to be decent and good-looking, the emperor specially accepted me as an adopted son and put me on the royal jade, and some people said it. said that the emperor already has a parent, so why bother to collect moths? Later, the emperor was angry, and the queen mother was also angry in the palace, which gradually stopped. ”

Du Mingxin heard the sadness in his tone, so he hugged him tightly, buried his head in his chest, and persuaded in a low voice: "The emperor's favor for you is really rare, and I can't complain about others' blind guessing." You just have to sit upright, and don't be a traitor. ”

Chen Xi hummed softly, and then said, "Actually, it's not right to count the age. I was only a month away from Anping, and the emperor was at home in Xi'an Mansion at that time, and he did not travel. If so, if so, as others think, how can no one know that someone around his father is pregnant? If you say that her identity is humble, then Concubine De was just a maid before......"

"What's more, I don't look alike with the emperor...... Where this favor came from, I don't know. According to Dingguogong, it's just the word 'fate'......"

"Dingguo Gong?" Du Ming thought about it for a while, "Yes, the emperor and Dingguo Gong grew up together, and the two are as close as brothers, if there is anything around the emperor, Dingguo Gong probably knows." ”

Chen Xi glanced at the clock again, got up and got dressed, and said, "But Dingguo Gong has never told me anything. Only a few days ago, Chen Ting made trouble, and he advised me not to kill Chen Ting...... But this is understandable, after all, Chen Ting is the only son of the Chen family and the eldest grandson of the Queen Mother. If I break a dead knot with him, even my father will be very embarrassed. ”

Du Mingxin nodded, got up and waited for him to dress, but was pressed back to the quilt by Chen Xi: "You have a good rest, from pregnancy to childbirth, I am not by your side for a day, it is difficult for you...... After today, I will stay at home with you and your children. ”

Du Ming did as he said, and Chen Xi gently dropped a kiss on his forehead, watched him go out of the inner room, and turned over and fell asleep again.

*

The ceremony of presenting prisoners was held in Zhengyangmen Square, Chen Yuantai wore the most solemn crown of the Son of Heaven, and watched Chen Xi take the sergeants and prisoners under the Zhengyang Gate, riding a high-headed horse, and came slowly.

On the east and west sides of the square, there is a dismounting pillar wrapped with big red satin, and the hundred officials are divided into two shifts, east and west, and they are arranged in order behind the column. As far as the eye can see, the entire square is pressed and crowded, but it is silent.

Chen Xi rode to the dismount post, and his own inner supervisor took his mount. He strode up to Chen Yuantai, knelt down, and raised the sword of the Son of Heaven above his head to show that he was fortunate not to be dishonored, and returned the military power to Zhao.

Chen Yuantai looked at Chen Xi who was kneeling at the bottom, and his heart was so excited that even his lips trembled a little. He has won countless battles in his life, and even when the enthronement ceremony was held in the Taihe Palace, he was never so excited. However, watching his son's achievements and return with military exploits and glory, Chen Yuantai felt that his eyes had become moist.

Chen Yuantai took the sword, helped Chen Xi up, and led the hundred officials in front of the incense case in the center of the square, and bowed three times and nine times on Sunday.

Later, a soldier came forward with a prisoner to offer the prisoner. Previously, Chen Yuantai specially issued an order, first, to exempt the female captives of the Qian royal family from participating in the ceremony, and second, all the captives did not have to be on the line, retaining the last trace of dignity for Qian Hao.

Chen Yuantai swept over the prisoners kneeling on the ground one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Qian Hao, who was kneeling at the front.

"My son is an anxious son, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry." Chen Yuantai pointed at Chen Xi and said with a smile, "The lord of the country went all the way to Beijing, can his body still eat?" ”

When Qian Hao heard the word "Lord of the Country", he was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he hurriedly fell to his knees, and said in his mouth: "Don't dare, how dare Your Majesty say 'Lord of the Country'!" After yesterday, the grass people are deeply repentant, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive the sins of the grass people! ”

"You can't say that!" Chen Yuantai laughed and said, "Destiny is not blessed, how about Naizhi?" ”

He stepped forward to help Qian Hao up personally, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I don't dare to say anything else, but at least I am still a gentleman who does what he says." Since you have been promised peace and happiness for the rest of your life, you can rest assured that you will live in the capital. Although the north and south are different, my capital is not less prosperous than Jinling! ”

When Qian Hao heard him say this in public, his heart finally let go, and his head nodded like a chicken eating rice.

"As for the reward, I have to go and discuss it with the ministers." Chen Yuantai patted Qian Hao's shoulder and said with a smile, "I have prepared a house for you and will settle it." When the reward comes down, I will enter the palace to celebrate you! ”

Qian Hao hurriedly knelt on the ground again and thanked God.

After the ceremony, Chen Yuantai took Chen Xi back to the Qianqing Palace. As soon as he sat down, he instructed the prince: "Go and soak some nectar from Mengding and give it to the king of Jin to taste." ”

"A few days ago, some tea and Shu brocade came up from Shugong, I drank it and thought it was very good, and you also tasted whether there was a taste of 'dew buds and cloud armpits are better than awakening'!"

Chen Xi thanked him, and the tea came up, and he took a sip, and it was really sweet and mellow, which made people's teeth and cheeks fragrant.

"Have you been to see the kids?" Chen Yuantai asked with a smile.

Chen Xi nodded and said with a smile: "I really can't help it, I went back in the middle of the night yesterday, and I rushed back to the camp in the early morning today." ”

"The city guards came early in the morning to report that someone entered the city last night, and I guessed that it was you." Chen Yuantai smiled, "How is it, how is the child?" ”

"It's very good, chubby, with eyebrows and eyes like me, and a mouth like a bright heart." Thinking of his son, Chen Xi's whole person was full of brilliance. "My nose is collapsed, and I don't know what it looks like. I cried so hard that it scared me. ”

Chen Yuantai said with a smile: "When a child is born, how can there be a high nose bridge?" You and Princess Jin are not noses, just rest assured. Crying is strong, which means that you grow strong, and it will also be a good material for martial arts practice in the future! When the moon is full, bring it into the palace and ask me to take a look. ”

Chen Xi replied.
