After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

In the early hours of yesterday, an urgent decree entered Suizhou City unimpeded with the sound of kicking horseshoes, and stopped in front of the Chu Mansion.

Suizhou Governor Yin Chuhong heard that it was King Yu's confidant who delivered the oral order, so he hurriedly got up from the bed, went out in court clothes and knelt down to greet him.

The person who came was Huaizhen's close long-term follower. He held the Yuling of King Yu, and did not read out the content of the order. He only handed a volume of autographed letters to Chu Hong, and told him to "read carefully word by word."

Chu Hong was confused. He took the letter and read it carefully. After a while, his face showed a mixture of surprise and doubt, and finally knelt down to thank him.

After the elder who delivered the decree rode away with his horse, Chu Hong's only daughter, Chu Mingzi, helped her father up and asked, "Father, what did King Yu write in the letter?"

Chu Hongping retreated to the left and right, carefully put the letter into his arms, kept it secret, and only said to his daughter: "My lord gave me a son."

"???"

Chu Hong Fuer told Chu Mingzi about Chu Shao's background, and said: "Go and tell your mother that our youngest son is back."

Chu Mingzi's eyes turned red, and she immediately went back to the courtyard to find her mother.

Chu Hong summoned Li Song and Mrs. Zhang, who were in charge, and asked them to go to the backyard to tidy up a clean yard. All the furnishings and arrangements were according to the specifications of his son-in-law. It must look like someone lived in it but it was vacant for three years. .

The two people in charge are both good people, and they roughly understood what the master meant, so they rushed away overnight.

Chu Hong was in a daze for a moment, until the servant beside him persuaded him to be more serious, then he turned back into the house, but went to the ancestral hall, took up a small tablet, and stroked it with his hand. It was written "Chu Ming'an, the youngest son of the Chu family." "——This is his son who died young. He was only 6 years old when he passed away due to illness. Since then, he has been the heart disease of the Chu family couple.

"If Ming'an grows up..." Chu Hong put his hands on the edict, "It should be the same age as this Chu Shao..."

At dawn, the city of Suizhou became lively in advance.

The people had learned early on that King Yu led his troops back to the city this morning, and the small vendors deliberately set up stalls on the road leading directly to the city gate with their goods.

Although they opened their business today, they didn't plan to make money. The pastries and food on the stall were all given to the soldiers who had returned from the victorious battle.

When the sun was high, the gates of the city were wide open, and His Royal Highness Yu Wang, who the people were looking forward to, was riding a tall horse. Why is there an extra beautiful face? !

If it wasn't for deliberate prestige, Huai Zhen didn't like to pretend to be superior. He rode a horse into the city, and he needed to look down at his own people.

Sore neck.

He simply turned over and got off the horse, clasped Chu Shao's slender waist with one hand, and half hugged and half carried Chu Qingxu to the ground.

As soon as Chu Shao touched the ground, he really felt that he was far away from Qizhou.

"This is your hometown." Huai Zhen whispered to him, and Chu Shao looked around curiously.

All the people had smiles on their faces. They were talking and laughing when they saw that the prince gave up the way consciously and did not follow the rigid etiquette. Some of them even gave food to the soldiers.

It is very different from the strong face, laughter, bitterness, bitterness and deep hatred in Qizhou City. This is a lively and vibrant capital.

This is... my hometown?

Chu Shao couldn't feel that subtle sense of belonging at all, but seeing the smiles on other people's faces, he was unconsciously infected with happiness, and he was in a good mood.

"Brother Wang! Brother Wang! Eat candied haws!?"

A five-year-old girl shouted childishly, rushed to Huaizhen's leg, and hugged Huaizhen's thigh boldly. The girl's mother stood aside and watched. Although she felt that it was inappropriate, she did not see any child offending the high position. the nervousness of the recipient.

Huaizhen bent down, stretched his hand under the little girl's armpit, picked her up and weighed her, and joked with the child with a smile: "Little girl, are you getting fat again?"

"No! Mother said it was meaty, not fat!" The little girl kicked playfully in the air twice, shaking the candied haws in her hand.

Murong still watched from the sidelines, faintly worried about Huaizhen's left shoulder injury—except for the few people who witnessed it that night, other people didn't know about the fact that he was stabbed with a sword, and neither did Chu Shao. .

Huai Zhen hugged the little girl twice, then put her back on the ground, not holding her up forcefully, if the wound on her shoulder opened, it would be difficult to hide it from Chu Shao's eyes.

He took the candied haws from the little girl's hand and handed it to Chu Shao. Chu Shao opened his eyes wide and looked at the bunch of bright red fruits, which was very novel.

There is no such thing as hawthorn in Qizhou, and naturally there will be no "sugar haws".

"Taste it, it was your favorite food before." Huai Zhen said nonsense, he had to convince Chu Shao that this is where he grew up.

Chu Shao opened his mouth obediently, took a bite of a hawthorn, and put it in his mouth. After biting the sugar coating, the sour and sweet juice of the hawthorn burst out, mixing it into a wonderful taste.

Seeing his eyes bent, Huai Zhen guessed that he liked it.

He pinched the little girl's cheek instead, and said with a smile: "Go back to your mother quickly, don't run around, what if you are kidnapped by bad guys?"

"My lord is not a bad person!" The little girl spoke plausibly, with two braids dangling from her head.

Huai Zhen laughed twice, then turned his head to signal the people around him to take the little girl back to her mother's arms.

When the little girl left, Chu Shao was already biting the second hawthorn.

Seeing Huaizhen looking at him suddenly, he subconsciously handed the hawthorn to his mouth: "You eat it too?"

For a moment, he didn't realize that the hawthorn was touched by himself.

His Royal Highness Yu Wang was taken aback, he didn't mind, he really opened his mouth and bit the hawthorn into his mouth.

The young girls in Suizhou and a few handsome young men were heartbroken—how could the prince eat a candied haws with others! ! !

"Who is this? How can he ride the same horse as the prince! That is the prince's most beloved white dragon colt!"

"Looking like this, it's blue-faced and troublesome, hum!"

"Why did the lord go out to fight a battle and bring back a man? It wasn't like this before! The lord's ambition is gone!!"

"I'm mad at you, I'm mad at you, I'm mad at you, Princess Yu can only belong to this lady!!"

"Fart, it belongs to me!!"

Chu Shao had sharp eyes and ears, and when he heard the sudden uproar in the crowd, he instantly understood how popular a man like Jiu Gu, who is both handsome and talented, and a royal nobleman, is popular among young boys and girls in Suizhou! ! !

A sour voice came to his ears: "How dare he send the eaten candied haws to the mouth of the prince!"

Only then did Chu Shao remember that the candied haws Huai Zhen ate just now was licked by himself!

"The one just now..."

Knowing what he was going to say, Huai Zhen whispered in his ear, "I don't mind."

The warm breath rushed over, and Chu Shao's ears were smoky red. He grabbed Huai Zhen's sleeve and asked uneasily:

"If you eat a candied haws with me, will others be jealous?"

Huaizhen laughed lightly: "This king has no wife or concubine, who would dare to be jealous?"

The author says:

Unlike me, I just...(No!
