The winter solstice is over, and time flies by.

After Huanqiu came back, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei moved out of Lu's mansion and officially moved into the Princess' mansion.

The two lived in the main courtyard, and there were several clumps of green bamboos outside the window.Even in this icy and snowy weather, those clumps of green bamboos are still green and unabated, which is the only bright color in this bleak winter day.The two of them occasionally open the window and sit idle, and the clump of greenery is dotted all day long.

Generally speaking, the two of them are very satisfied with the princess mansion they personally arranged, and the days after moving are also comfortable and leisurely.However, there were also people who used the name of Princess Housewarming to send greetings to the house, but Qi Yang is not stupid, how could he get involved in the current chaos?Immediately closed the door to thank the guests, just closed the door, and lived a shameless life with the son-in-law for several days.

Until the half-month marriage leave was over, Lu Qipei had to return to Dali Temple, and continued the days of starting in the morning and returning in the evening.

Qi Bo was left in the Lu Mansion, and only occasionally visited the Princess Mansion to deliver some account books and letters.However, Lu Qipei did not break the connection with the Lu family. She was more active than before in accepting the affairs entrusted by Qi Bo, which made Qi Bo quite gratified.

In the blink of an eye, it was two months, and Qi Yang's layout in the northwest finally paid off.General Sun led a group of several hundred soldiers into Rongguo from the northwest, sometimes disguised as exiled Rongdi, and sometimes changed back to the armor of the Liang army. The news of the small tribe of the old, the weak, women and children, has now spread back to the capital of Rongguo.

The external war was unfavorable, and the internal rear was restless. Rongguo's offensive finally stopped.

Before New Year's Eve, Rongguo's truce agreement was sent to the capital.Instead of being filled with unreasonable demands like last time, Rong Guo’s request this time was reasonable—they asked Liang Guo to hand over the murderer who killed Xie Hongyi.

Dali Temple has been investigating this case for several months, and earlier found out that all the evidence points to the third prince, and the purpose is naturally to blame the prince.But Dali Siqing and Shaoqing have been handling the case for many years, but they both feel that there are many tricks in this case, so they dare not jump to conclusions.Immediately afterwards, Rongguo invaded, the third prince asked for orders to go out, and then a series of accidents happened.

Up to now, the third prince is already a dead man, and not many people care about the truth.However, the emperor obviously couldn't admit that his prince had done this, so he found another scapegoat and randomly handed it over to Rong Guo as an explanation.

It's hard to say if Rong Guoxin didn't believe it, but he did withdraw his troops a year ago, which made the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve in Beijing three points better.

After returning home, Lu Qipei found a vase, casually inserted a red plum off the roadside, then went around the screen and changed into normal clothes to come out.When I came out, I saw Qi Yang sitting at the table looking at the plum blossom, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I folded it casually, and I didn't pick it very much. If Your Highness likes plum blossoms, we can go to Huguo Temple to have a look at another day. I remember there is a piece of plum blossom there. Merlin."

Qi Yang waved his hands and said, "It's too cold, I don't want to go."

People are lazy in winter, although Qi Yang is not afraid of the cold, she really doesn't like to go out in this winter.Recently, I only went to the palace a few times, and almost every time I bumped into one or two princes, they were much more attentive than her, and they were not afraid of the emperor's indifference.

Lu Qipei lifted up his robe and sat beside her, seeing her lack of interest, he asked, "Why, Ah Ning is not happy today?"

Qi Yang tilted his body, leaned on her shoulder, closed his eyes and said: "Not at all, I just feel a little bored."

Lu Qipei knew what she meant, so he didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand to caress her back.After a while Fang said: "The prince will be back in a few days, do you want to go to meet him together?"

Qi Yang opened his eyes when he heard the prince, "I'm going."

The peace negotiation between the two countries was before New Year's Eve, but when the prince rushed back to the capital, it was after the new year.

The weather was fine that day, most of the snow on the road had melted, but the cold wind was still biting.There were quite a few courtiers who went out of the city to greet them. The group waited outside the city gate for half a day. Even the thick furs could not keep out the cold winter. From time to time, there were two suppressed coughs from the team.

Compared with these colleagues, Lu Qipei's treatment is obviously much better.She was sitting in the carriage of the Princess Mansion. There was a warm charcoal basin burning in the carriage, with warm tea in hand, and most importantly, she was accompanied by the princess. She was so leisurely as if she was on vacation at home.It wasn't until news came from outside that the prince's carriage was coming soon, she adjusted her clothes, put on a cloak and got out of the carriage.

It is said that the prince is coming, but in fact the distance is still far away, Lu Qipei got off the car early and waited just to show respect.Qi Yang didn't need it, she was also the princess, so there was no need to stand and wait in the cold wind.

As soon as Lu Qipei got out of the carriage, Qi Yang opened the curtain again: "Wait a minute."

Lu Qipei turned his head when he heard the movement, his eyebrows softened: "What's wrong?"

Qi Yang stretched out his hand and passed a hand stove over, and said: "Be careful, don't catch a cold."

Lu Qipei took it with a smile, thanked him, and then walked towards the group of frozen ministers.Then he waited with the crowd for about two quarters of an hour before seeing a group of people appearing at the end of the official road in the distance, slowly approaching the capital.

It was a clean-cut army, the red-clothed and black-armored army was mighty, full of bloody and murderous aura, it was no longer as superficial as it was when they left Beijing.And as the team of no more than a thousand people approached, the surroundings became chilling.

The team welcoming the prince fell silent for a moment, and everyone showed a cautious attitude.

After a while, the Prince's chariot finally approached under the guard of these soldiers.The door of the car opened, and the crown prince in an apricot-yellow robe stood proudly in the car.He was much thinner, the robe seemed to be a little empty on his body, and his face seemed to be pale.But Chu Jun's aura not only did not decrease, on the contrary, it was like those soldiers behind him, adding a bit of majesty and seriousness.

Many people just glanced at the crown prince and lowered their heads hurriedly, feeling a little palpitating. The leading Minister of Rites took two steps forward and said: "Your Highness is mighty, this triumphant triumphant display of our country's prestige, His Majesty is very happy, and ordered me to come and greet him."

The prince's expression was calm, and the sternness on his body gradually subsided, and he seemed to have returned to the gentle and benevolent prince of the past: "This is the responsibility of the solitary. It's cold today, and I'm sorry, my lords have been waiting here for a long time."

Seeing this, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, but hurriedly said that they didn't dare.

The prince said a few more words and was about to turn back in the carriage, but his gaze swept over the crowd, and he paused for a moment on Lu Qipei, and then caught a glimpse of the carriage parked not far away, his expression suddenly softened a lot.

At this moment, Qi Yang also got off the carriage, she came slowly, and called out from a distance: "Brother Huang."

The crown prince's eyebrows widened, and the chill and coldness that remained before completely disappeared: "In this weather, why is the imperial sister here?" After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Qipei again, and said with a smile: "Could it be that you are here to accompany the son-in-law?"

The brother and sister reunited after a long absence, Qi Yang was still a little emotional at first, but unexpectedly the prince just opened his mouth as a joke, and what he wanted to say immediately choked in his throat and he couldn't say it.She was a little upset, and wanted to laugh, but there was no doubt that the crown prince's words made the strangeness between the two brothers and sisters disappear after a long time: "Yes, yes, yes, I came with the son-in-law, I am afraid that she will be frozen after waiting too long. "

The crown prince joked first, he didn't mind the joke, he just said: "Since it's cold, let's go back and talk about it if we have something to say."

All the ministers came to welcome the prince back to the palace, and they would not stay outside the city to welcome someone.Qi Yang took advantage of the opportunity to board the prince's carriage, and the prince didn't drive her away, so the two brothers and sisters could chat for a while on the way.

The crown prince was sitting in the car, and still started jokingly: "Why, are you willing to abandon your son-in-law now?"

Qi Yang snorted and said, "I don't want to part with her, I really care about her." Then he said: "It's just that I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, and you are in a dangerous place like a battlefield. I don't want to see you well, so I don't feel at ease."

She spoke very frankly, and the crown prince softened his brows and eyes after hearing this: "Don't worry, imperial sister, I'm fine."

Qi Yang's eyes glanced at his legs unconsciously, thinking that there was nothing wrong with the prince getting in and out of the carriage before, presumably he was not hurt like in his previous life.This made her heave a sigh of relief, and while looking away, she said with concern: "Earlier, there was a loss in Huaicheng. I heard that Brother Huang was injured. I wonder if he has recovered now?"

The injury two months ago is gone, and the flesh and blood injuries are no longer a problem.But the prince's luck is really not very good. Although he was not shot through the knee this time, he was slashed on the right shoulder. He was delayed for too long and there was no good doctor. Now the root cause of the disease is his right hand. power up.Especially in the cold weather recently, even the bones are sore, which is even more unbearable.

But these princes didn't want to talk more with Qi Yang, so they just raised their hands and nodded their shoulders and said: "It's okay, it's healed."

Qi Yang's eyes then fell on the prince's shoulders, and seeing his relaxed expression and calm posture, he also believed him: "That's good." After speaking, he stared at the prince again, still frowning: "Only this trip, Brother Huang has lost a lot of weight, and after returning to the palace, he has to take care of himself."

The prince was not impatient when he listened to her babbling instructions, he just felt that the instructions flowed into his heart like a warm current.

The two brothers and sisters didn't talk about any major military affairs on the road, the prince only talked about life in the frontier with Qi Yang, and the occasional interesting things are also worth mentioning.Then he asked Qi Yang how he was doing in Beijing these days, how he got along with his son-in-law after marriage and so on.

The topic was quite relaxed, so that when the car arrived at the palace, the crown prince and Qi Yang still had something to say when they got off the car.

When the crown prince returned to the court, the courtiers flocked together, but before stepping into the Xuanshi hall, the crown prince had a special opinion of Lu Qipei.He patted Lu Qipei on the shoulder and told her: "I entrust the imperial sister to you, and I hope the son-in-law will cherish and love her."

After two months, Lu Qipei did not escape the beating of her uncle. She was a little helpless, but she also solemnly replied: "It should be like this."

The prince knows that the young couple are deeply affectionate, so this sentence is enough.Just before leaving, he squeezed Lu Qipei's shoulder again, and whispered: "It's just too thin, young people need to grow longer."

Only those shoulders that are strong and generous can bear the responsibility and the future——The prince didn't finish the rest.

However, Lu Qipei was a little palpitated by the prince's words and actions. She raised her hand to cover the shoulder that the prince had patted, and looked at his back as he walked away, feeling a little lost.Until Qi Yang came to ask, she shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
