On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The guard camp is located to the north of the palace. It is an independent courtyard, far away from the living area. Usually, the battalion commander will assign some soldiers to patrol and defend the courtyard.

After all, it is a royal palace, a place more important than the Daqian Imperial Palace, and security must not be relaxed.

Qingxia's belly is getting bigger and bigger. She's already six months pregnant, so she'll probably give birth in the summer. Fortunately, she's been practicing martial arts for years and is in very good shape, so she doesn't need help walking.

The reason why she wanted to ride in a sedan chair was just to enjoy the treatment of a wealthy socialite.

Cao Xiong had been promoted a long time ago and was appointed as a lieutenant general of the Jinwu Guard, which was considered a promising young man.

However, he did not choose to go to the military camp to take up his post, but stayed in the guard camp of the palace all day. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Cao Xiong was not going to leave.

It doesn't matter how high an official he becomes. He doesn't understand the twists and turns of politics. It's better for him to follow Lin Zhen and enjoy the good life all day long. Moreover, as long as he serves Lin Zhen well, who in the whole Daqian dares to look down on him?

People say that the eunuchs around the emperor are more powerful than the governor.

This is exactly the reason.

Now, if Cao Xiong goes out to do things in Lin Zhen's name, he has to give some face in all aspects, and sometimes he will even be personally received by a third-rank official. This is his status.

Besides, Cao Xiong didn't have any big ideals. He was content with having a wife and children and a warm bed every day. He was just right for working in the palace.

A while ago, Lin Zhen even paid for Cao Xiong to buy a townhouse in Yonglefang in Beijing, but it was burned down by a fire. Now his wife has moved to the guard camp, and he is worried every day.

"Battalion Commander, what would you like to eat for lunch?" A young soldier walked in.

This is Cao Xiong's guard, who is responsible for serving him.

Some people say that followers are also worthy of having someone to serve them?

Of course, it is normal for the county magistrate to be accompanied by his secretary and driver when he goes out for a stroll with the mayor.

Cao Xiong lay on the bed, not even removing his armor, and said irritably, "Eat whatever the fuck you want, get out of here."

"Oh." The soldier walked out dejectedly after being scolded. When he looked up, he saw a sedan chair slowly approaching.

He was sharp-eyed and hurried forward to pay his respects: "Madam Qingxia! How come you have time to come here today?"

After saying this, he personally brought a stool and placed it next to the sedan chair.

Qingxia smiled faintly as she stepped down from the sedan chair and nodded to the soldier: "You are very perceptive, young man. What's your name?"

"In reply to Madam, I am General Wang Chunsheng."

"Hmm, that's a nice name, and it suits the season perfectly. Where's Cao Xiong?"

"Captain Cao is in the room." Wang Chunsheng shouted inside, "Captain, Madam Qingxia is here!"

When he heard that his wife was coming, Cao Xiong jumped up and ran out without even bothering to put on his shoes.

"Meet Madam Qingxia."

"Old Cao, we are all family. Don't be so anxious next time and put on your shoes quickly." Qingxia never had a stern face towards servants, and she was not as concerned about rules as Shangguan Wan'er, who would not tolerate any injustice.

She is more accustomed to living in peace with her subordinates, which is also the chivalrous spirit she has cultivated over the years.

Wang Chunsheng brought Cao Xiong the shoes. Cao Xiong put them on with a simple smile and said, "Madam Qingxia, how come you have time to come to our guard camp today? If you have anything to say, just ask Lin An to send someone over to tell us."

"The housekeeper is busy. I came here today to assign you a task. Huanbi is going back to her parents' home. The prince is worried about her safety, so he asked you to send 300 soldiers to follow her."

"Three hundred?" Cao Xiong was also shocked by the number.

This isn't a war or a surprise attack. Why bring so many people with you just to go back home?

"Madam, why do you bring so many people?"

Qingxia said, "Just follow the orders of the prince. If you don't have enough people in the mansion, go and borrow some from Zhang Li. She has people from the Tiger Guards."

"No, no, no." Cao Xiong waved his hands repeatedly. "There are enough people, but I don't understand where three hundred people will stay and eat when they accompany Madam Huanbi back to her parents' home."

"You guys figure it out on your own and come back to Zhang Li to get reimbursed. What are you afraid of with the prince's order?"

"Okay, then I'll arrange it right away."

Cao Xiong clasped his fists, turned around and left to shake people off.

Qingxia looked at his back and thought to herself: I wonder who dares to look down on our Huanbi this time.

Three hundred fierce warriors who had killed many people accompanied her back to her parents' home. I guess only Huanbi has received such treatment at present.

......

Huanbi felt a little uncomfortable sitting in the big carriage that belonged to Lin Zhen. She lifted the curtain from time to time and looked out. She saw 150 black-armored soldiers in front and behind her carriage, holding long spears and axes. They had stern and meticulous expressions and walked steadily.

This was not the first time she had experienced such a thing. When she followed Lin Zhen to other places, there were also so many people escorting her, but Lin Zhen was by her side at that time.

I'm not used to this suddenly becoming me.

The team gradually moved away from the capital, the prosperity faded away, and the wilderness under the spring breeze brought a hint of tranquility.

There are many villages around the city, and each village has many small houses, which reminds Huanbi of many childhood memories.

I don’t know when the memory started to become blurred. No matter how hard Huanbi tried, she could only remember running happily in the yard when she was a child, and that was all.

Because of poverty, Huanbi's parents could only work as long-term laborers for the landlord to make a living. Later, Huanbi took out the money she had saved and paid it back to the landlord, which was considered as redeeming them. After that, she bought 20 acres of thin land in Chengxi Village and lived a happy life.

Many old men and women were gathered at the entrance of the village to chat. From afar, they saw a black team accompanying an extremely large and luxurious carriage approaching.

"who is this?"

"I don't know, maybe it's some noble person."

“Maybe he was just passing by.”

"How could they possibly pass by our village? Look, they're really heading straight for our village."

The villagers had never seen such a grand occasion and thought that the emperor himself had come. A few curious people quickly ran into the village to find Muramasa.

The team arrived at the village entrance without any stopping and rushed in.

Not long after they walked, the elderly Muramasa came over with the help of others, leaning on a cane. He said tremblingly, "Military officers, what's going on? I'm Muramasa here."

"The Crown Prince's wife is returning to her parents' home." Cao Xiong was riding on a horse.

He was already in a bad mood, but because Lin Zhen said that he should respect the people, he did not dare to act recklessly.

Muramasa said, "Ah? I wonder who this distinguished person is? I will take you there myself."

"The Li family."

"Ah! You mean Li Dong's house? Okay, okay, I'll take you there right away."

When he heard that it was Li Dong's family, the old village chief finally felt relieved and led the way enthusiastically.

It is a big deal that the Crown Prince's wife is returning to her parents' home. If it gets out, it will bring honor to him.

For a moment, the old man walked very fast, and soon the team arrived at the door of a house.
