A concubine to be married dressed as a prince

Chu Chengji didn't speak.

Jiang Yanqing turned his head curiously, feeling something in his heart, "Aren't you mean?"

Afraid that Chu Chengji would get angry, he quickly laughed at himself and said in relief, "I'm an illegitimate child, it's normal not to be treated well, it's just a name, I don't mind."

"Families of filial piety offer Shushui. Shushui is a bean, and Shushui means the support of the poor to the elders. Shuhe, they probably hope that even if you are poor, you will not forget your filial piety."

Jiang Yanqing smiled indifferently, "It looks like a name that Marquis Yingwu would give."

Chu Chengji's arms around his waist tightened tightly.

Jiang Yanqing patted the back of Chu Chengji's hand, "I'm fine."

"We have to hurry up, or we won't be able to make it to the next town before dark, and we will sleep in the open."

Jiang Yanqing thought about it, the scene where two people hugged each other with a bonfire in the wild, "Sleeping in the open is also pretty good."

Chu Chengji laughed, "It's too cold at night, and it's inconvenient to do things."

Jiang Yanqing's ears turned red, and he retracted into Chu Chengji's arms without speaking.

The two raced fast, but it seemed impossible to reach the next town before sunset, but fortunately they saw a village.

The small village is not big, with only a dozen families.It was already dusk around, and every household was filled with smoke from cooking.

Chu Chengji helped Jiang Yanqing off the horse and walked outside the fence of a family.Chu Chengji held the rein and said loudly, "Is anyone there?"

After a while, an old woman came out of it.

The old man looked at the tall and strong Chu Chengji vigilantly, "Who are you looking for?"

Jiang Yanqing pushed Chu Chengji, squeezed in front of him, smiled and said to the old man: "Grandma, we are passing by, it's getting late, can I stay at your house for a night?"

Old Ou shrank back into the room, "I have a doll in my house, and it's very noisy. You should go to another house to see."

After speaking, the old man couldn't wait to close the door with a bang.

Jiang Yanqing elbowed Chu Chengji, "It's you who scared people."

Chu Chengji pursed his lips and did not speak.

Hmph, when he was doing that, he would talk in his ear, but now that it was time to get down to business, he would return to the state of boredom.

Jiang Yanqing stared at Chu Chengji, wanting to bite him.

"I'll knock on the door later, and I'll tell you that I'm the young master who came out to play. They think I'm rich, so they should take me in."

"What about me?" Chu Chengji asked.

Jiang Yanqing raised his neck slightly, and said proudly: "Of course you are my servant. Otherwise, I am so rich, and it would be very unsafe not to have a vicious servant by my side."

Chu Chengji smiled and nodded, "It's all up to you."

Jiang Yanqing walked towards the village with his hands behind his back, and saw a spacious house with a tidy yard. He stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard opened the door, frowned at Jiang Yanqing, an unexpected visitor, and said fiercely, "What are you doing?"

The corner of Jiang Yanqing's mouth twitched, and he overturned the previous setting in an instant, pointing behind him, "He asked me to knock on the door."

Hearing the voice, Chu Chengji looked sideways and met the man's eyes.

"Chu Chengji?"

Jiang Yanqing observed the man's expression from astonishment to suspicion at close range, then fell to surprise, and then was pushed away by the man and hit the door panel.

The man took a few steps forward, his walking posture was a bit sloppy, he punched Chu Chengji on the shoulder, "Chu Chengji! It's really you!"

Chu Chengji's eyes were also full of excitement, and he also hammered the other person's shoulder, "It's me. I didn't expect you to live here!"

"I didn't expect you to come here either!" The man's excitement was beyond words, he pulled Chu Chengji and said, "Come into the room!"

Chu Chengji followed his strength and took two steps forward, then pushed away the man's arm without a trace, pulled Jiang Yanqing who was slapped on the door panel just now, and raised his arm to hug his bumped shoulder.

The man keenly saw what was going on in his movements, and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

"My princess."

Chu Chengji said calmly, but Jiang Yanqing felt a little embarrassed by his calmness, and smiled dryly at the man, not knowing how to greet him.

"This is Shi Zhuang, who was conscripted into the camp with me before." Chu Chengji introduced.

Shi Zhuang saw that Jiang Yanqing was about to kneel down to salute, but Jiang Yanqing quickly stepped forward to stop him, "It doesn't have to be like this."

Chu Chengji lifted Shi Zhuang's arm and pulled him up, "Why, you don't kneel when you see the prince, but remember the etiquette when you see the princess?"

Only then did Shi Zhuang come to his senses, scratching the back of his head, "I didn't realize it just now. I heard that you became a prince before, but I still couldn't believe it. I thought you had the same name and surname."

While talking, a light voice came from the room, "Who's here?"

Jiang Yanqing looked up, and a slender, pale young man came out of the back room.

Before the door was closed, when the cold wind blew, the man lowered his head and coughed a few times.

"Why did you come out?" Shi Zhuang hurried forward to support the man's arm, trying to push him back to the back room.

The man struggled a bit, "There are still guests, don't worry about me."

Jiang Yanqing quickly closed the door, and asked with concern: "Is it okay? We're here to stay overnight, so we can do whatever we want, there's nothing too particular about it."

Shi Zhuang half-forced him back to the back room, and called Chu Chengji, "Chu... lord, concubine, come in too."

Jiang Yanqing rubbed his hands awkwardly, "This is not very good."

Shi Zhuang suddenly realized, "Oh, look at me, I'm a rough man. I was used to being in the barracks before, and I was squeezed together with the prince. But after all, the princess is different from us rough men in the barracks. It's me I haven't thought about it."

"No." Jiang Yanqing quickly waved his hand, "I'm afraid I'll disturb your rest, this one inside is..."

"He is my friend." Shi Zhuang said vaguely.

"Why, ahem... why did you become friends again?" Although the man inside was not breathing well, there was still a smile in his voice.

Shi Zhuang's complexion was dark, but his face was still blushing visible to the naked eye.

Chu Chengji asked in a low voice: "Is he in poor health?"

"Ah." Shi Zhuang sighed, "When I met him, he...he suffered a little bit, and the root cause of the disease has fallen, and he has been weak all these years."

"Come in and talk, I'm just, cough, weak, and it's not that I can't see people." The man said inside: "Brother Shi, you've been talking for a long time, why didn't you introduce my name."

"Oh, I forgot, his surname is Han, and his name is Han Chenzhu."

Jiang Yanqing walked into the inner room, Han Chenzhu got up to salute, but was held by Jiang Yanqing and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I just listened to your conversation. Are you Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Han Chenzhu said in a humble tone, "I should kneel down to the Princess."

"There are so many things to pay attention to. You are not in good health, so don't worry about it." Jiang Yanqing sat on the bed next to Han Chenzhu, "Didn't you see a doctor?"

"I've seen a lot, but it's useless." Han Chenzhu smiled and pointed to the package on the cabinet, "Isn't it that I heard that a wandering doctor recently went to a town outside the mountain, and he couldn't wait to pack his things and prepare to take me there gone."

"How do you go in such a cold day?" Jiang Yanqing didn't see a carriage or any means of transportation outside just now.

Han Chenzhu's face flushed, "Occasionally, I will walk around by myself. Most of the time, Brother Shi is carrying me."

That Shi Zhuang seems to be a man of strength, but he has a sloping foot, so he has to carry the person he likes, which seems to be true love.

Jiang Yanqing looked at Chu Chengji who came into the back room with Shi Zhuang, and thought sourly, except for the day of getting married, it seemed that Chu Chengji had never carried him on his back.

"Are you planning to go out early tomorrow morning?" Chu Chengji asked.

Shi Zhuang nodded, "We'll leave tomorrow morning, you and the princess will live here, firewood and food are ready."

"No need." Chu Chengji sat down on the dilapidated wooden chair, making him look taller in the small room, "We have to hurry tomorrow morning."

"I want to rush to Yanchuan and take office immediately. The emperor issued an imperial decree to announce to the world that you are the only vassal king in my dynasty." Shi Zhuang was sincerely excited for him.

"What kind of vassal king, they are all ministers." Chu Chengji said: "What about you, what are your plans in the future, why don't you follow me to Yanchuan."

Jiang Yanqing nodded after hearing this, "Since you are Chengji's old friend, let's go to Yanchuan together and let Chengji arrange a position for you, so that Chenzhu will not suffer here."

Shi Zhuang originally wanted to decline, but he hesitated when he heard Jiang Yanqing mention Chenzhu.

Han Chenzhu smiled and said: "I'm used to being comfortable here, and I don't feel bitter. Brother Shi decides, anyway, I will follow Brother Shi."

Jiang Yanqing and Han Chenzhu smiled ambiguously.He really likes this gentleman who is gentle and weak, probably because his temperament is too gentle, and because they are the same kind of people, so they have a good impression.

Chu Chengji said again: "I know you suffered a leg injury back then, but are you willing to leave because of it? You are a dragon and a phoenix in riding and shooting. Follow me to Yanchuan. I will let you teach the recruits, how about it?"

Shi Zhuang leaned on his thigh and rubbed his palm twice, "I haven't touched it for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be familiar with it."

Chu Chengji smiled, and the scar on his face trembled, "I have a riding and archer under my command. He is a young boy, no worse than you and me back then. Don't you want to see it?"

The corner of Jiang Yanqing's mouth twitched, he quickly glared at Chu Chengji, then turned to look at Han Chenzhu's reaction.

Han Chenzhu smiled and shook his head at him.

It's fine if you're not jealous, Jiang Yanqing is relieved.It can only be said that this group of rough guys who only have soldiers fighting in their hearts are too straight.

Shi Zhuang actually agreed because of this.Jiang Yanqing really sweated for him, maybe he couldn't sleep at night.

"Speaking of which, when you were disfigured back then, I thought you were going to be a bachelor for the rest of your life." Shi Zhuang realized his desire to return to the barracks, let go a lot, and laughed.

Chu Chengji replied unceremoniously: "When you hurt your leg, I thought you were going to be a bachelor for the rest of your life."

Shi Zhuang blushed immediately, and stammered to explain: "Chenzhu and I, we are not, we haven't..."

Han Chenzhu coughed softly.

Shi Zhuang immediately shut up and did not speak.

Chu Chengji raised his hand and patted Shi Zhuang's shoulder, "Brother, good luck."

Shi Zhuang also said with emotion: "Back then we all climbed out of the pile of dead people and almost died. Now we are alive. It is a good fortune. Speaking of which, when that arrow came towards your head back then, I was really scared to death gone."

Chu Chengji smiled faintly, and glanced at Jiang Yanqing.

"Fortunately, it's just a disfigurement." Shi Zhuang didn't notice the eye contact between Chu Chengji and Jiang Yanqing, and he sighed to himself.

Jiang Yanqing's heart sank in vain because of his words.

Chu Chengji told him about the origin of the scar on his face, but judging from the meaning of Shi Zhuang's words, it seemed that the situation at that time was much more dangerous than what Chu Chengji said.
