After receiving the imperial edict, Wen Fei went to the palace for a visit.

Except for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, she has hardly set foot in the palace in the past three months.During the period, I was busy getting married and spending time with my daughter-in-law. By the way, I had a happy honeymoon, and my life was relaxed and comfortable.But in the same three months, the emperor was busy with business.He is busy cleaning up the court, busy establishing authority, and busy promulgating new policies to restrict aristocratic families. There is hardly a day that is truly idle.

When we saw each other again, the emperor's eyes were more black and blue, but he was not sluggish, on the contrary, the light in his eyes became brighter.He was not surprised to see Fei enter the palace, first chatted a few business matters, and then he also cared about the general's married life by the way.

Wen Fei originally sat upright, asking and answering questions with the emperor, and immediately smiled shyly and happily.

The emperor had grown up watching Wen Fei, and seeing Wen Fei's appearance at this moment, unexpectedly gave birth to the mentality of an old father for no reason.He put down his government affairs and looked at the general he had trained with a somewhat casual attitude: "To enter the palace today, I don't think you made a special trip to say goodbye to me. If you have anything to say, just say it, and I will agree to it if you can." you."

Of course, Wen Fei's trip to the palace was not to chat with the emperor, Wen Yan's straight body leaned forward slightly, showing some urgency.Relying on the emperor's favor, she was indeed not polite, and immediately said bluntly: "I really have something to ask for here." After a pause, she was a little embarrassed: "That's right, I just got married, so I don't know how much it will cost to go to the northwest. At that time, can His Majesty allow the minister to bring his family with him?"

It is customary for generals to leave their families in Chang'an as hostages when they go on an expedition.On the one hand, the emperor can control the generals, and on the other hand, it is actually a kind of maintenance.After all, there are often wars at the border. Maybe the enemy's surprise attack will kill the general's family.

The emperor pondered for a moment when he heard the words, then his eyes fell on Wen Fei's delicate and clean face, and he stared at it for a long time.

Just when Wen Fei thought the emperor would not allow it, and wanted to make another plea, the emperor suddenly said: "If the bride does not dislike the bitter cold in the northwest and is willing to go with you, you can take her with you." After a pause, he continued: "Wait I will take care of the affairs of the court, and sooner or later I will have to use troops, and I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to let you stay in Chang’an for a long time. It is just right for you to bring your wife, and I will have some young generals as soon as possible, who are as brave as you.”

Northwest is indeed not a good place compared to Chang'an.The climate there is not as good as Chang'an, nor is it as rich and prosperous as Chang'an, and wars may occur at any time.But since Wen Fei entered the palace for this trip, Xiao Okou naturally also discussed it.

Chu Xi has never been to the Northwest, and she is not willing to part with Wen Fei as soon as she got married, so she decided to go together early on.

At this moment, Wen Fei was naturally pleasantly surprised when he heard the emperor's words, although she must not be able to give birth to a little general or something.But she didn't refute the emperor's words, her eyes flickered slightly, and she happily thanked him.

After achieving their wish, the two monarchs and ministers discussed a few more words about the military affairs in the northwest, and confirmed that the emperor really intended to go west in the future.

Wen Fei then had the bottom line in his heart and didn't ask for more, and quickly left the palace to pack up and prepare to go north.

Of course, before leaving Beijing, the Chu family will also go there.

************************************************** *******************

Wen Fei is still young and holds a high position as a general, Chang'an is destined not to be the place where she will stay for a long time.From the very beginning, Chu Xi knew that she would go to the northwest in the future to continue her unfinished journey, and she had already planned for the future.

She is not an ordinary virtuous woman, and there is no in-laws in the family who need her to be filial. Since she has gone through all the troubles to marry Wen Fei, there is no reason for her to stay in Chang'an and live alone—to be honest, she and Wen Fei are not only superior. In-laws, there will be no heirs in the future.If she really stayed in Chang'an and lived alone behind closed doors, she would be better off being alone in the house than in a boudoir, so why bother to get married this time?

Because she had already considered it in her heart, Chu Xi told her family about it early.Before leaving, there was a farewell to the Chu family. Although Chu's family was distressed and worried, seeing that Chu Xi had made up his mind, he didn't say much after all.

In late September, the weather was slightly cold, so Chu Xi and Wen Fei said goodbye to relatives and friends, and embarked on the road northward hand in hand.

This is not the first time for Chu Xi to travel far away from her relatives. She went south with her servants and guards alone [-] years ago.But ten years ago, she went south and returned home, and she had a plan in her mind. Now she went to the northwest but didn't know how long she would be able to return. Naturally, she felt more sentimental when she faced parting.

The carriage left Shili Pavilion, and the relatives and friends seeing off were no longer visible. Chu Xi just left the window and looked back.But as soon as she turned around, her eyes turned red, and the sadness that she had suppressed before suddenly flooded her heart.

Wen Fei hadn't ridden a horse today, and when he was riding with Chu Xi, he expected this to happen, and immediately took him into his arms with distress: "Don't be sad, Chu, I'll accompany you. Besides, we are not Come back, when His Majesty wins the western expedition, I will lead you back in triumph. You just want to accompany me to see the scenery of the northwest and have fun, our home is still in Chang'an."

Chu Xi lay in her arms, although her eyes were red, but after all she was not a fragile person who loves to cry.I couldn't bear the sadness of parting for a while, but when I leaned against Wen Fei's familiar soft embrace and received her gentle words of comfort, the sadness subsided a lot.

She relied on Wen Fei's arms, her voice hoarse: "I leave home, and I will only have you as my companion. You are not allowed to bully me."

Wen Fei couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard the words, she folded her arms and hugged him even tighter, and rubbed her chin against Chu Xi's forehead: "What are you talking about, you are the daughter-in-law I begged with great difficulty, how hard it is for us to be together Ah, how can I be willing to bully you?"

Xiao O said a few words in a sticky mouth, and the parting sorrow in Chu Xi's heart gradually dissipated.He held Wen Fei's hand with nostalgia, and looked out of the car window to see the scenery outside which still belonged to Chang'an.

Wen Fei was afraid that she would be sad, so he not only comforted her with soft words, but also said some other things to distract her: "The northern barbarians gathered again and went south, and there was a problem with the northern gate, so the army is still stationed in Beizhou , we are going to Beizhou first. Chang'an is far away from Beizhou Road. Fortunately, His Majesty has not set a time limit, so let's go slowly and arrive at Beizhou before the winter snow falls. I have also traveled this way Many times, I used to ride horses and march in a hurry, but this time I can slow down..."

She detailed the arrangements along the way, and her soft voice fell into Chu Xi's ears, gradually calming her down.Occasionally responding to a sentence, or asking something along the lines of Wen Fei's words, the latter's interest is even higher.

Even so, person O didn't seem too sad after the initial parting.

The road to the north is not very easy, the waterway is inconvenient and most of them are land routes, and the traffic conditions after leaving Chang'an are indeed not very good.Wen Fei used to ride a horse back and forth without feeling anything, but now when driving on this loess road, every pebble the wheels run over is a jolt.Even though Wen Fei is strong and healthy, he didn't suffer from motion sickness before, and this car is quite uncomfortable to sit on.

So after only riding for half a day, Wen Fei invited Chu Xi to go out to ride with him, euphemistically saying: "It's a good autumn season, it's so boring to be bored in the car, why don't you go out and ride a horse, and you can enjoy some rides along the way?" landscape."

Chu Xi saw that she was impatient to take the bus, so she nodded and agreed without saying anything.

Wen Fei regained his energy immediately, walked out of the carriage and whistled on his lips with his fingers. The horses that had been obediently following the team immediately received instructions, their ears trembled, and then ran over with a "da da" of horseshoes.

The war horse was very obedient, Jian Wenfei stood on the carriage, and consciously followed beside the carriage.Wen Fei didn't give the order to stop, so he jumped onto the horse's back, took the rein with his hand, and then looked back.Seeing that Chu Xi had also come out of the carriage, she raised a smile on her face, and without stopping the carriages, she stretched out her free right hand.

The warm autumn sun cast a layer of light on Wen Fei's outstretched palm, which was inexplicably dazzling.

Seeing the smile on Wen Fei's face, Chu Xi was not afraid that she would miss her hand, and raised her hand to hold Wen Fei's without hesitation.Immediately after a force came, she also consciously jumped up lightly, and then the scenery in front of her eyes changed, and she had already landed on the back of the running horse.

Wen Fei caught her firmly, and hugged her in front of him, a hearty smile pervaded her face, and she looked down with tenderness.

When the guards on the left and right saw this scene, there was a burst of laughter, with kindness and ridicule.Wen Fei was not annoyed either, instead he hugged his daughter-in-law tightly and raised his chin with a proud look.She glanced at everyone, with a smile on her face: "What are you laughing at, this general hugs his wife, what's the matter with you?"

The personal guards are not afraid of her, but the topic of daughter-in-law is a little bit heart-wrenching, because most of the guards who followed her in the north and south are still single.Daughter-in-law and so on can only be found in dreams.

The atmosphere of the long-distance team was brisk, only Chu Xi nestled in Wen Fei's arms, and the roots of his ears were slightly flushed.

She wasn't quite used to this kind of atmosphere, and she wasn't used to her subordinates making fun of her boss so blatantly, but it didn't matter, in such a relaxed environment, it was easy to adapt.

For example, if she tries not to be shy, no one can make fun of her!

The horse's hooves trampled on the loess road, splashing a little dust.Wen Fei's war horse is very human, Xu understands that there is an extra hostess on his back today, and his walking is much smoother than usual.

Wen Fei held the rein with one hand, and wrapped around Chu Xi's slender waist with the other, vaguely remembering that the two of them rode together when they went south ten years ago.But at that time, the road was difficult, and the feelings in the human world were still hazy. Even in the name of a fiancé couple, they actually had concerns and dared not get too close.But now they are married, even if everyone is watching, they only envy their love as husband and wife.

Thinking of this, Wen Fei's mood suddenly brightened, and the hands around Chu Xi's waist couldn't help but tightened a little.Chu Xi obviously noticed that she was in high spirits, and asked her slightly, "What's the matter, are you so happy all of a sudden?"

Wen Fei didn't answer, but looked at Chu Xi for a while with downcast eyes, and then quickly kissed her on the cheek.

Chu Xi was caught off guard, but still couldn't hold back, her beautiful face quickly flushed red.
