It has been a while since Wen Fei returned to Chang'an, but he was staggered by the emperor's whimsical gift of marriage.It wasn't until a consensus was reached with Chu Xi that he took the time to go to the palace. In the past, Wen Fei was born in Yubayashi, and going to and from the court was a common occurrence. Although he is not as casual as before, he is seeking to see the queen as a foreign relative. Aunt, it's not difficult at all.

In the final analysis, the Qi family's prosperity cannot be separated from Empress Qi, and Empress Qi cannot do without her natal family if she is firmly in the back seat. The two parties are a natural alliance.What's more, now that Empress Qi has a prince, the Qi family and Wen Fei must keep close to the prince.

Of course, there is no need to worry about forming a party for personal gain now, after all, the little prince is only seven years old this year.

When Wen Fei entered the palace to ask for an audience, the little prince was in the queen's palace. Wen Fei stepped into the palace and saw the two of them at a glance, then bowed and said: "My subject, Wen Fei, I pay my respects to Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Empress Qi smiled softly, and hurriedly raised her hand and said, "My nephew, Ah Fei doesn't need to be polite." After speaking, she looked Wen Fei up and down with her beautiful eyes, and then said with concern: "This time to conquer the northern barbarians, Ah Fei Fei has been gone for more than a year. Swords and arrows have no eyes on the battlefield. I have heard that you have won battles and captured prisoners. I don’t know if you have taken care of yourself for more than a year. Didn’t you get hurt?”

These words were a bit mild, but the concerns in them were obvious. Wen Fei couldn't help but feel warm when he heard it, and replied: "Aunt Lao is worrying, everything is fine for Ah Fei, and a little injury is not a problem." of."

When Empress Qi heard that she was injured, she inevitably expressed her concern, and the atmosphere between the two parties was harmonious.

When the aunt and nephew had almost finished speaking, Wen Fei lowered his head and realized that the little prince who had been quiet all this time had walked up to him at some point.He looked up at her without saying a word, his childish face was pretentiously mature, but his eyes were black and bright, at first glance they were very similar to the way Qi Jun looked at her.

Wen Fei's heart softened when he was stared at by this familiar gaze, and he couldn't help but soften his tone: "His Royal Highness looks at me like this, but what do you want to say to me?"

Now Wen Fei is a first-rank official, and he was granted the title of Marquis at a young age. He is already the second most promising member of the Qi family besides Qi Taiwei.Empress Qi was also very happy to see the two cousins ​​get close, so before Wen Fei returned to Chang'an, Empress Qi had already told the little prince about her great achievements.Children worship heroes the most, so the little prince is also very interested in this cousin who has made great military achievements.

At this moment, the little prince had his little hands behind his back and had already sized up Wen Fei carefully, but he frowned and said: "The queen mother said that my cousin is a great hero, able to fight well and invincible... But look at my cousin alone, how can you be like this?" as skinny?"

Thinness is not enough, but thinness is for sure, but ordinary people will subconsciously ignore Wen Fei's appearance after hearing about her great achievements.

Empress Qi didn't know Wen Fei's identity, so she couldn't help but cast her eyes on Wen Fei's thin shoulders, showing some doubts—now Wen Fei is no longer a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, an adult man should have broad shoulders He has a broad body, especially Wen Fei is still a warrior on the battlefield.It was Empress Qi who watched Wen Fei grow up and got used to her appearance, so she ignored these things.

Wen Fei was keenly aware of Empress Qi's gaze, but she obviously didn't intend to explain anything.The little general was already bold, so he simply hugged the little prince up, and said with a smile: "Your Highness should be in school, so you should know whether you can judge a person by appearance."

The little prince obviously didn't expect Wen Fei to be so bold, his little face flushed all of a sudden, but he put one hand on Wen Fei's shoulder and pushed him away without struggling.He still kept a small face, pretending that he was not being hugged: "What my cousin said is true, and my father also said that people should not be judged by appearances. But if you have any skills, you have to show them to others to convince the public."

Wen Fei laughed and said, "Then how about I take His Highness to ride a horse?"

The little prince is only seven years old this year, a child as big as a pea ding, with short hands and feet, can at most ride a pony, and he has to be led by someone to ride the pony, which is really meaningless.Now hearing that Wen Fei was going to take him to ride a horse, the little prince's eyes lit up immediately, and his small arms immediately wrapped around Wen Fei's neck.

Empress Qi also put the matter of Wen Fei behind her when she heard the words, and looked at the two with worry in her eyes.

Of course Wen Fei was not fooling around, and it was even more impossible to worry the elders. Upon seeing this, he immediately explained to Empress Qi: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take His Highness to the school field for a couple of laps, and I won't let him ride by himself."

As soon as these words came out, Empress Qi felt nothing to worry about.After all, Wen Fei was a ruthless person who was able to lead an army to run across the grasslands and beat Beiman to pieces. Riding a horse was as natural to her as eating and drinking.With her protection, let alone take the little prince to run around the school field twice, even if he goes out of the city to run twice, he doesn't have to worry about it.

Obviously, Empress Qi was also willing to let the prince befriend his natal family, so she let him go after a few words of advice.

Before stepping out of Changqiu Palace, the little prince struggled and fell to the ground.He straightened his clothes and looked like a dignified prince. He looked more mature than his father at a young age, and then raised his immature chin slightly: "Let's go, I can walk to the school grounds by myself."

Wen Fei looked amused, but followed him, only slowing down to match the prince's short legs.

It was not lonely all the way, the two chatted some gossip.Most likely, the little prince was asking about the border wars, and then Wen Fei told the little prince the stories of the past from memory. She probably also has a talent for storytelling, and the ups and downs of those wars will be thrilling.When the two finally reached the palace grounds, when the little prince looked at Wen Fei again, his eyes were full of admiration and longing.

Xu felt that this journey was much closer. Before stepping into the school grounds, the little prince suddenly grabbed a corner of Wen Fei's clothes.When she looked down, she looked at her with hesitant eyes, which seemed to be filled with sympathy.

Wen Fei was looked at inexplicably, and squatted down in a daze and asked, "Is there anything your Highness wants to say to the minister?"

The little prince looked at his cousin who was at the same level as him, hesitated and said: "Cousin is so powerful, Gu heard that your fiancée ran away with someone, why don't you chase her back?"

The amount of information in these words is a bit large, and Wen Fei was dumbfounded when she heard it, she didn't know it at all!

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

Facts have proved that gossip is terrible, and the source of the seven-year-old prince's news is obviously not so reliable - Wen Fei found out afterwards that the prince only heard some gossip from the palace people, and such things as rumors, As long as it has been spread by many people, the final news must be far from the truth.

Fortunately, the news of the little prince's unreliability did not mislead Wen Fei for long, because soon someone came to refute the rumors, and the person who refuted the rumors was His Majesty the Emperor who learned of Wen Fei's entry into the palace.

It was rare for him to be free, and when he heard that Wen Fei took the prince to the school grounds to ride a horse, he came to join in the fun.

The timing of the emperor's arrival was very coincidental, and he just listened to the little prince's sympathetic words.I heard that the girl from the Chu family was dissatisfied with the marriage and ran away with someone, not to mention Wen Fei was stunned, the emperor who was busy with everything was also stunned.But fortunately, the emperor had his own judgment, and he was not a person who followed others' opinions, so he immediately sent someone to the Chu family to inquire for himself.

After the three of them rode around the school grounds for a few laps, the person they sent out came back and brought back the real news-Chu Xi was indeed not in Chang'an anymore, she was sent to the south of the Yangtze River by the Chu family. Pure rumor!

The attitude of the Chu family made the emperor dissatisfied, but the rumors were just rumors anyway, and Chu Xi really ran away with someone without slapping his face, and the emperor was secretly relieved.He rode his horse and stood there, watching Wen Fei galloping with the little prince on the school field not far away, he saw the little prince's hearty laughter and Wen Fei's high spirits.

Look, that is a general he personally cultivated. He swept the northern barbarians at a young age, and his military achievements are unparalleled. Which lady is not worthy of such a talent?The Chu family accepted the imperial decree but sent their daughter away. Did they despise his general, or did they not take him seriously?

The emperor, who was in his prime, had a fire in his heart, and made a good record of the Chu family, waiting for an opportunity to settle the score after autumn.And with his self-respecting temperament, he naturally cannot tolerate disobedience.

So when Wen Fei came back with the little prince after running happily, he heard the emperor say solemnly: "A Fei, you have been back for a while, and it's not a problem to stay idle in Chang'an. Why don't you take this opportunity and go out to replace me?" Check out the local garrisons." He paused, and then emphasized: "The land in the south of the Yangtze River is rich and prone to corruption, so it's better to start from the south of the Yangtze River to inspect the garrisons."

Wen Fei was slightly taken aback, the emperor's emphasis on Jiangnan made her understand and at the same time she couldn't laugh or cry.
