After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

After another six or seven days, the Salt Administration of Youyun City opened its doors to receive the first merchant from the southern border. This marked the beginning of the Northern Border Salt Administration for the next few decades.

In this government office, Jin Chu has an office area of ​​her own, and next to her is the room of her sworn brother Gao Cheng.

This was also specifically instructed by Crown Prince Su Cheng'an.

Although it was not stated explicitly, Gao Cheng was very clear about the intention conveyed by the prince. In addition to his own job, he also had to pay attention to and protect the personal safety of the prince's sister-in-law who was here on duty.

In addition, Su Cheng'an personally arranged two highly skilled female guards for Jin Chu, who would act as maids to protect her when she went out.

A few days later, Ye Jinxuan and Huanyan also moved to the new house. After a short renovation, the two houses looked brand new. A brand new plaque was hung on the gate with two large official script characters "Ye's House" inscribed on it.

Taking advantage of the day when Su Cheng'an came back, the couple went to the new house. They sat together and had a warm meal. Ye Jinxuan and his family had finally moved into their new home.

The next day, as agreed, Ye Jinxuan, accompanied by the Crown Prince Su Cheng'an, entered the prince's study. After a long conversation, the three of them returned directly to the palace's backyard to pay their respects to Princess Du.

Jin Chu, who had received the news, naturally accompanied her son. When Princess Du saw Ye Jinxuan, who was as tall and handsome as her son but much more cheerful and caring than her son, she praised the young man highly and looked down on Su Cheng'an.

Su Cheng'an was already accustomed to his own mother's favoritism, so he remained calm at the moment, just thinking of it as a way to improve his brother-in-law's impression.

Before the meal started, the prince finally rushed back. The family of four, plus Ye Jinxuan, gathered together for a sumptuous lunch. During the meal, Princess Du was amused by Ye Jinxuan several times, and her eyes looking at him became more and more kind.

After the meal, Princess Du started to worry about Ye Jinxuan's marriage!

Before leaving, Princess Du asked the maids to stuff a lot of food and daily necessities into her mouth, and also brought gifts for Huanyan and Zhaoer. Finally, she repeatedly told Ye Jinxuan to come to the mansion often in the future.

Naturally, both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal.

That night, Jin Chu drank some wine, and the tipsy Su Cheng'an pressed her to and fro on the bed, rubbing her several times, so that when Su Cheng'an finally carried her away to be washed, she didn't know what day it was.

As expected, he got up half an hour later than usual the next morning. Looking at Su Cheng'an, who looked refreshed and satisfied, Jin Chu felt unwilling and could only sigh about his poor health.

He was the one who put in the most effort, so why did it look like he was taking advantage of her?

After breakfast, Su Cheng'an rushed to the military camp outside the city again.

It is now October, and the weather is getting colder day by day. At this time of year, the Di people, who are short of food and clothing, begin to sharpen their knives and prepare to go south to plunder. The day when the north is on the most alert is about to come!

The shops selling liquor in Youyun City also began to be crowded with customers. Whether they were soldiers or border residents, they would buy a few pots of liquor to take home for future use.

The number of merchants coming from all directions to purchase white salt is also increasing. After finishing their business, they usually buy some white wine that became famous in Youyun City last year to take home for tasting. Naturally, they will also bring some women's items for their families.

Because of this reason, the cosmetics shop opened by Jinchu and Huanyan also increased its income by 20 to 30%, which was an unexpected surprise.

In mid-October, when Jin Chu was on his way back to the palace from the Salt Administration after a busy day, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

They were small at first, but by the time Jinchu arrived at the palace, the small snowflakes had turned into big snowflakes, and the coldest days in the north had begun.

Thinking that he hadn't seen Princess Du for a few days, Jin Chu got off the carriage and went straight to Hanzhang Courtyard.

A deep male voice was heard from a distance. Jin Chu was stunned at first, but after taking a few steps forward, he saw a tall and handsome young man in the hall.

She was delighted and took a few quick steps. A sharp-eyed maid saluted her. Jin Chu silently waved her hand and made a gesture to shut up. Yan Ming understood and lowered her head, pursed her lips, and followed Jin Chu inside.

Princess Du was speaking happily to her son, "...This is the first snow of the year. When Jin comes back later, we'll have a lively hot pot dinner. It'll go perfectly with the game you brought back."

Su Cheng'an sat at the bottom, holding a cup of tea in his hand, listening to Princess Du's words boredly, occasionally making a perfunctory nod.

In fact, he had just returned and learned that Ajin had gone to the Salt Administration again, so he came to see his mother, Princess Du, to avoid her complaining that he had married and forgotten her, leaving Ajin to suffer.

Unfortunately, I have never talked much with my mother since I was a child, so I can only give her the game I harvested today and let her nag me.

Fortunately, it was getting late and Ajin would be back soon!

When he heard the sound of someone coming in, he thought it was just a maid or an old woman, and didn't even raise his head. Naturally, he didn't see the tacit smile between his wife and his mother.

"And that deer, it's perfect for slicing and making roasted venison. It's guaranteed to be delicious." Princess Du continued with a smile.

Jin Chu tiptoed down to sit on the chair next to Su Cheng'an, without saying a word, just smiling and listening to Princess Du speak.

Everyone in the room looked at the prince with suppressed laughter, wondering when he would notice the arrival of the princess.

Su Cheng'an still kept his brows lowered, listening to his mother's muttering and thinking about military affairs.

A glimpse of a skirt appeared in his slightly lowered line of sight, and then he smelled a familiar fragrance wrapped in coolness. The young man's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly looked up at the person next to him.

Upon seeing this, his eyes lit up, completely dispelling his previous dullness.

"Ajin!"

Jin Chu smiled and nodded.

"You're back?"

Jin Chu nodded again.

"You were still thinking about your wife, but now that Ajin is sitting next to you, you realize what a stupid boy you are!" Princess Du couldn't help but teasing her son, her face full of bright smiles.

Su Cheng'an was not angry despite being teased by his mother. He put down the teacup and reached out to grab Jin Chu's hand, but Jin Chu dodged him.

"I just came back from outside, it's very cold."

"Don't be afraid, my hands are warm, just right to warm you up." As he spoke, Su Cheng'an had already pulled Jin Chu's hand over again and started rubbing it.

Just as he said, his hands were broad and warm, wrapping around her hands completely. A warmth slowly crawled from his fingertips to the girl's heart.

Realizing that there were people around, Jin Chu felt a little embarrassed. She tried to pull away but it didn't move, so she glared at Su Cheng'an.

Ajin is shy!

Su Chengan reluctantly let go of Jinchu's hand and poured her a cup of hot tea himself: "Jin, have a cup of tea to warm yourself up first."

Princess Du couldn't help but laugh again when she saw her son, who had always been careless, being so attentive and caring towards his daughter-in-law.

"Look at this, don't ever say your prince is a rude man who doesn't know how to be considerate again!"

She pointed at Jin Chu and joked, "That's because your prince hasn't met the right person. Now that he's met your princess, isn't it like steel has been tempered into soft silk?"

As soon as the words fell, the maids and servants in the room all started laughing.

Someone praised them, "The Crown Prince and his wife are so loving and loving, and it's a blessing for our Dingbei Palace!"

"Who says it isn't true? A harmonious family brings prosperity!"

Jin Chu's face was slightly red, and she smiled with pursed lips.

Qingyin, who was not far away, had a quick flash of jealousy and unwillingness in her eyes, and then she curled the corners of her lips and started laughing.
