Chapter 79 Don’t look up

"So beautiful!" Zhuang Wan was excited as she looked at the fireworks in the sky. Although this thing is common in modern times, it was really rare in ancient times. Looking at the bright sky, she seemed to think that she was standing on the rooftop of her house.

Yan Cheng quietly held her hand behind her and watched the prosperity of this prosperous age together...

Laiji came back from buying candied haws, and happened to see this scene. He quickly turned his back and said: "See no evil, see no evil!"

Then I remembered what Chen Wujin said and hurriedly muttered: "Don't be surprised if you get weird, don't be surprised if you get weird!"

Chen Wujin saw him and shouted: "I asked you to buy a candied haws in a long time. Why are you standing here? Get it quickly!"

Lai Er then passed over Zhuang Wan and Yan Cheng, who were behaving intimately, and distributed the candied haws to several people.

Zhuang Wan handed the candied haws to Yan Cheng, who shook his head: "I won't eat it, you can eat it!"

"Then I'll eat it!" Zhuang Wan bit into one: "Well, it's so sour. This isn't called candied haws, it's called sour haws!"

"Is it very sour?" Yan Cheng asked.

"Hmm! If you don't believe me, try it." Zhuang Wan handed the candied haws to his mouth. Yan Cheng hesitated for a moment, then bit off one and chewed it carefully.

"How is it?" Zhuang Wan asked.

He smiled: "Sweet!"

"Ah? Is the one you are eating sweet? The syrup must be spread unevenly. Let me try it again." Zhuang Wan took another bite and spat out: "One is sourer than the other, are you lying to me?

?”

Yan Cheng laughed. Zhuang Wan originally wanted to say something to him, but looking at his smile, she couldn't bear it anymore.

I wonder what went wrong with such a handsome and energetic young man to fall in love with her!

She didn't even look at the fireworks, she was completely fascinated by Yan Cheng.

"You look so pretty when you smile!"

Chen Wujin and three others in front turned around at the same time, and Yan Cheng immediately suppressed his smile and regained his indifferent expression.

"Who laughed?" Chen Wujin asked Bai Qilang: "You laughed?"

"Don't worry about me, you're uglier when you smile than when you cry."

Laiji, who had already seen through everything, shook his head helplessly.

…

The next day, the army set off for Kyoto.

Qianzhou is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and it takes ten days and a half to get there.

"Look!" Lai Er, who was gossiping, looked at Xiao Jingchen and Mu Qiulan walking separately in front of them.

"His Royal Highness Prince Qi is not in a good mood today, and the ugly girl's eyes are also red. I think they must have had a quarrel."

"What's the matter with you?" Chen Wujin pulled him over, "You don't want to live if you discuss the prince in private?"

"I'm just talking casually." Lai Er said, "Don't betray me."

Chen Wujin snorted: "Your mouth will bring trouble sooner or later."

However, after listening to Lai Er's words, Zhuang Wan did notice that something was wrong between the two of them. In fact, it was not surprising. Originally, this book has a very strong atmosphere from the ancient times. The male protagonist is a domineering president, and the female protagonist is a beautiful little white flower with a kind heart.

, the relationship between the two of them is a tangle, it’s like looking for sugar among the shards of glass, this is just the beginning, there will be more abuse in the future.

I hope the heroine can withstand it.

Ten days later, the army was stationed at Shifang Pavilion, twenty miles away from Kyoto. After the meeting tomorrow, the Ministry of War will make unified arrangements.

These ten days have made Zhuang Wan so exhausted that she almost vomited even after eating dry food. Now that she has arrived in Kyoto, she thinks that she can finally improve her food. This place is definitely more prosperous than Qianzhou, and she must go and experience it someday.

In the past ten days, Mu Qiulan had not seen Xiao Jingchen, but only saw his back from a distance.

No matter, they have arrived in Kyoto anyway, and she and her aunt can finally leave the Shangshu Mansion. She may never interact with Xiao Jingchen again in this life.

Rong Li looked at Xiao Jingchen, who was in a daze from time to time, and joked: "His Highness has been looking frowning these past few days. I don't know who the short-sighted person offended His Highness."

"Stop being so weird!" Xiao Jingchen came to his senses, sat down and took a sip of tea: "Let's get down to business!"

Rong Li straightened his expression and said: "Now everyone in the capital knows that His Highness has returned from his meritorious service, and everything is very lively at the moment!"

"Hmph! After ten years since I have been in Qianzhou, their good days are over!"

"As long as His Highness marries Shangshufu and wins Han Yuanchong's support, the matter will be half done."

Xiao Jingchen was silent for a moment and then curled up his lips and smiled, but there was no hint of joy, instead he was sad and mocking.

How could Rong Li on the side not know what he was thinking, and said casually: "Since the prince likes that girl Mu, he can find an opportunity to marry her into the palace after the wedding."

Xiao Jingchen sighed: "Didn't you say that she is different from other slaves? Do you think she will be willing?"

Rong Li said: "She was originally a slave, how could she be unwilling?"

"She says she is willing, but she is not willing in her heart." Xiao Jingchen said quietly: "Besides... I am not willing either."

Rong Li was stunned for a moment, "His Highness really has deep affection for her, but..."

"You don't have to persuade me!" Xiao Jingchen interrupted: "I know the right rules."

"Yes!" Rong Li said with a smile: "Your Highness simply can't sleep, how about you and I play a game of chess?"

"Okay!" Xiao Jingchen said, "I'll stay with you until the end!"

…

The next day, the army marched into Beijing. Looking at the bustling markets, Zhuang Wan felt that there were business opportunities everywhere, and she couldn't help but dream of getting rich again.

"I, Chen Wujin, will one day become a saint." Chen Wujin said excitedly: "Father, mother, I finally honor my ancestor!"

Laiji said: "What do you think the emperor looks like? Is he as powerful as the Jade Emperor in the painting?"

Bai Qilang said: "The emperor is also a human being, he doesn't have one nose and two ears."

Zhuang Wan suddenly thought of something. If Yan Cheng wanted to meet the emperor, the emperor would definitely see him. She didn't know how similar his appearance was to Emperor Wen Zhao. If he was recognized by the emperor, it would lead to death.

She quickly reminded Yan Cheng: "Don't raise your head when you see the Holy Driver later."

Chen Wujin asked: "Why?"

Zhuang Wan said: "Think about it, how can we peep at the emperor's holy face and be careful not to violate taboos?"

Lai Er said: "Zhuang Wan is right, how can we see the holy face?"

"Fortunately, Brother Zhuang Wan reminded us, otherwise we wouldn't even know we had violated a taboo."

But the fact is that Zhuang Wan thinks too much.

The emperor they saw was only as big as an ant.

The emperor originally sat far away, with hundreds of civil and military officials on both sides. In front of him were generals such as Xiao Jingchen, Pang Ao, Han Wei, etc. Next came the soldiers, the generals of each battalion, etc., and finally the school captain, commander of thousands and commander of centurions Wu Yangyang. There was such a large group of people that they couldn't see the front even if they were walking on their feet.

Xiao Jingchen presented a list of various properties seized from Nanyi, as well as the surrender of several nobles in the Nanyi royal family.

When the emperor saw Hou Longyan, he was overjoyed: "Good! King Qi bravely defeated Nanyi, I am very pleased! I have drawn up an edict, and King Qi will be appointed as the minister, grant him a house, and stay in the capital."

Xiao Jingchen: "Thank you very much, Father!"

Later, from Xiao Jingchen on down, Pang Ao, Han Wei and others were also granted titles and given gold and silver, and the others also received rewards.

Finally, the emperor said: "I heard that this time there is a fierce general under King Qi who is able to capture the Motu thieves. Please come forward. I want to see how brave he is."

Everyone turned back to look at Yan Cheng.

Chen Wujin said: "Brother Daniel, go quickly!"

Pang Ao said: "Li Daniu, come out to see the saint!"

Zhuang Wan reminded him: "Don't raise your head!"

Yan Cheng nodded, walked out slowly, passed the rows of soldiers, came to the front of the hall, knelt down and kowtowed.

"I will finally see you, Your Majesty!"
