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

After the bride was sent into the bridal chamber, Jin Chu gave the maids a few more instructions before leaving the bridal chamber, and he relaxed completely.

In order to ensure the smooth conduct of her brother and Huanyan's wedding, she worked non-stop for several days and was really exhausted.

At this time, the moon was already above the willows, and the sounds of banquets and music could be faintly heard from the front yard.

Jin Chu walked slowly alone on the bluestone-paved corridor, and for the first time he felt a real and delicate sense of existence.

Watching the rising sun in the morning and the setting sun in the evening, she had unknowingly been in this world for four years!

She came here alone at the beginning, but now she has family, a lover, things she cares about, and a mission that must be completed.

Near the base of the wall near the outer courtyard, a purple magnolia stands tall and graceful, its branches stretching out in all directions are full of vitality, and green buds are beginning to bloom.

Spring has really arrived!

There were footsteps behind him, but Jin Chu did not look back, his eyes still fixed on the highest branch that almost reached the sky.

"Ajin."

The young man's voice was gentle and low, as if he couldn't bear to break this beautiful scene. He stared at the beautiful figure in front of him, his eyes filled with deep affection.

She was looking at the tree and he was looking at her.

"Su Cheng'an."

Jin Chu didn't look back, but pointed to the highest branch and said, "Look, spring is here!"

The young man took a few steps forward, put his arm around his beloved from behind, and agreed with a smile: "Yes, Ah Jin, spring is here."

Jin Chu looked back at the red wedding room illuminated by candlelight and said with a double meaning, "Spring is here, everything is reviving, and it's time to spread out!"

The young man followed her gaze and suddenly said, "In seven months, you will be eighteen years old!"

Jin Chu was stunned, then looked at the man in front of him speechlessly. What was he thinking?

Forget it, let him think whatever he wants!

She took Su Chengan's hand, and a smile appeared on her face again: "It's over here, let's go back!"

"it is good."

A perfect couple walks hand in hand and moves forward warmly under the lights that rise one after another.

At the same time, in the bridal chamber, Huanyan sat on the bed happily and nervously, quietly waiting for the groom to arrive.

When she heard that her third brother was going to the dangerous place in the northwest, she made the choice without hesitation. Now that she is really marrying him, she starts to feel uneasy again.

She started to feel uncomfortable before he even left.

"My lady, I have brought you the porridge that the Crown Princess ordered."

The voice of the maid Qingzhi sounded outside the door, interrupting Huanyan's confused thoughts.

She adjusted her breathing and whispered, "Come in."

Qingzhi came in carrying a food box with a bowl of porridge, a plate of side dishes, and a plate of noodles.

"The young master is still entertaining people in the front yard. Madam, please sit down and have some food while there is no one around!" Qingguo, another maid, advised as she set the table.

Huanyan nodded, sat at the table and finished a bowl of porridge with some side dishes.

After my stomach was full and warm, I felt more at ease.

Now that we are here, we should accept it. No one can accurately predict what the future will be like in the decades of life.

Even the emperor was worried, let alone a commoner like her.

Just as my sister advised, let’s try new tea with new fire, and enjoy poetry and wine while we are young.

She really should let go of all distractions and just stay with her third brother before he leaves. It would be enough to live every day to the fullest without regrets.

After figuring all this out, Huanyan felt as if the huge rock that had been weighing on her for the past few days had collapsed, and her body and mind felt refreshed.

"The master is back!"

Qingzhi's voice sounded outside the door.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Huanyan knew that it was her third brother, her husband was back!

Throwing aside all her anxiety and irritability, the bride put on her best smile, stood up and walked towards her husband.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Jinchu met Su Yingzhen again, who was sent by Chen.

The little girl was wearing a light yellow jacket and skirt today, jumping around like a little butterfly in spring. The first thing she said when she saw me was, "Second Aunt, I brought you some delicious food."

As she spoke, her little hands hurriedly reached into her pocket and pulled out two pieces of candied dough. "Second Aunt, these are for you. They're delicious. I brought them especially for you."

Jin Chu looked at the tangjiao, his eyes flashing slightly.

She bent down, looked at Su Yingzhen, and smiled, "Ying'er, remember to share good things with Auntie. You are such a sensible and generous girl. But Second Auntie has bad teeth and can't eat sugar dumplings. Ying'er should keep this sugar for herself and eat it for Auntie later."

"Auntie, don't you want to eat?"

She put the treacle into her mouth and smacked it twice, squinting her eyes in satisfaction. "This treacle is delicious. Why doesn't Auntie want to eat it?"

The little girl took back the candy with a look of disappointment, and she looked completely listless.

Jin Chu couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so she took the candy from her and put it to her lips to taste it. Then she imitated the little girl and said with a smile: "Auntie, I have tasted it. Ying'er's candy is really delicious."

Su Yingzhen smiled with satisfaction, and as if encouraged, she said, "Next time I'll bring some delicious food for Auntie."

In the following days, whenever Jinchu was in the house, Su Yingzhen would come to play with Jinchu.

Moreover, she never came empty-handed. She would always bring one or two snacks such as pastries and cakes for children to give to Jin Chu. However, due to the child's enthusiasm, Jin Chu would always try them out of courtesy.

On the tenth day, Ye Jinxuan and Huanyan brought gifts to the palace to thank the prince and princess, and then came to Shaoguangyuan.

Looking at the two people being so close, Jin Chu was very happy. She called out to Huan Yan, "Sister-in-law."

"I'm not used to my sister yelling like that."

Huanyan looked conflicted about the fact that the younger sister became sister-in-law and the older sister became the younger sister. It was obvious that she was not used to it yet.

"You'll get used to it if you call me that more often. You're my biological sister-in-law, so you must never call me sister again. Otherwise, where will you put your brother?"

Jin Chu teased with a smile.

After the host and guest exchanged greetings, Su Cheng'an led Ye Jinxuan into the study, leaving the space to Jinchu and Huanyan, the new sister-in-law.

Seeing that the men had all left, Jin Chu stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point and asked, "How was your wedding night with your brother? Were you hurt by him?"

Although she knew Jinchu was concerned about her, Huanyan's face was still as red as blood, and she replied softly: "Fortunately, Third Brother is very considerate to me."

Jin Chu finally felt relieved and brought up the business again, "Then you should spend more time with your brother in the next few days! He will have to leave Youyun City and head west to Fuyun City in ten days at the latest."

"So soon? Didn't you say you were leaving at the end of the month?"

Huanyan suddenly looked up at Jinchu, her eyes wide open, and the shyness on her face instantly turned into surprise.

"Yesterday, the Crown Prince received news from the northwest, saying that the Western Rong people have been making moves recently and may begin taking action in February."

As soon as she finished speaking, Huanyan's face turned pale and the corners of her lips trembled unconsciously.

Jin Chu felt reluctant, but could only speak the truth. "Third brother must arrive in Lingyun City before the end of the month and fully assist General Liu Zhongquan, my father's former subordinate, to lead the remaining Northwestern Army to recapture Fuyun City and drive the Western Rong people back to their homeland."

It would take six or seven days for a fast horse to travel from Youyun City to Fuyun City, which meant that Ye Jinxuan had to set off within ten days.

Huanyan sat there quietly, speechless for a long time.

Jin Chu went over and embraced Huan Yan, saying in a gentle and soothing voice, "He's not just your husband, he's also my brother. I've already discussed this with the Crown Prince, and we'll send a team of private soldiers to accompany him. If anything goes wrong, they'll definitely protect your brother's life."

Seeing Huanyan's eyes light up again, Jinchu looked at her and said, "To relieve brother from worries, after he leaves, you and Zhao'er will both return to the palace. We can live together and wait for brother's triumphant return soon, okay?"

Huanyan smiled through her tears and nodded slightly.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, facing the first rays of morning sun, Ye Jinxuan, with reluctance to leave his family and hatred for his enemies, jumped on his horse and set out again on his journey to the northwest.

Following him were a thousand elite soldiers carefully selected by the Dingbei Palace.

The next day, Huanyan took Zhao'er to live in Mancuixuan of Dingbei Palace.
