The army returned triumphantly, Chu Fengyuan rewarded the three armies, the meritorious generals were rewarded one by one, and it didn't end until the afternoon.

Although the two brothers were together all the time, they didn't have a chance to talk properly. When they were about to leave, Chu Fengyuan patted Chu Xiangtian on the shoulder and told him: "My mother is very worried about you. After the army outside the city is settled, remember to enter A trip to the palace."

Chu Xiangtian nodded, and led the army to temporarily station outside the city. These soldiers were dispatched from various places. Now that the war is over and the rewards have been received, it is time for them to return to the station one after another.

In order to prevent chaos, he had to sit in the camp outside the city for a few days, and wait until the troops returned to their respective places before he could leave the work in hand to the people below to do it with complete peace of mind.

It was inconvenient for Fu Tian to join the army, so he went back to the Hou Mansion first. Zhou Chuanqing was homesick and wanted to go back with Fu Tian, ​​but was forced to stay by the jealous brother-in-law to deal with the follow-up matters.

The two homeless men looked at each other with disgust for each other.

***

Kanglehou Mansion.

After hearing the news of the triumphant return of the army, Fu Ji sent people to guard outside at all times, so that they could rush out to greet Fu Tian when he came back.

When Fu Tian came back on horseback, before he reached the door, he saw Fu Ji and came out with a group of servants, respectfully forming two teams to welcome him back.

Fu Tian looked behind Fu Ji, but he didn't see Fu Youqin's figure. He felt a little guilty, and handed over the reins to his servants. He pretended to be casual and asked, "Isn't mother at home?"

Fu Ji looked a little troubled, hesitated for a moment and said: "Madam is in the backyard, it seems... she is angry."

Fu Huang's eyelids twitched and he coughed, thinking that he knew why Fu Youqin was angry.

Before going to the border, he hesitated again and again and still didn't tell her. He even deceived her to Sifang Town in order to hide it. Now that the army is triumphant, the news that he went to the border to find someone has spread, and it has even been spread so miraculously. He must be angry when he hears the news.

"Mother... Are you angry?" Fu Tian asked the news with a guilty conscience.

Fu Ji nodded, and couldn't help but also said a few words, "For such a big matter, Master Hou didn't tell Madam first. After Madam heard the news, she was so worried that she couldn't eat for a few days."

"But no matter what, Madam still loves you. If you admit your mistake, Madam's anger will disappear."

"I see." Fu Tian lowered his head and strode towards Fu Youqin's yard.

Fu Youqin was sitting under the eaves, sewing a middle coat in his hand. Hearing footsteps in the yard, he raised his head and glanced back, "Master Hou is back."

Fu Tian's expression became more and more distressed. His mother always called him by his baby name, and now she even called him "Hou Ye", probably because she was very angry.

"Mom, I'm back."

Fu Tian leaned close to her, squatted down beside her, "Uncle Ji said you were angry."

The hand holding the needle paused, and Fu Youqin said lightly, "I have nothing to be angry about. The child has grown up and has his own ideas."

Fu Huang hugged her arm coquettishly and shook, and obediently admitted his mistake, "Mother, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have kept it from you."

Fu Youqin sighed for a long time, looked at his thinned cheeks, and couldn't get angry anymore, "You are an adult now, you can't control what you want to do, but at least you should let me know , quietly ran to the border, just in case..."

"There's nothing wrong with it," Fu Tian interrupted her, and said with a smile, "Didn't I come back well, and I brought your daughter-in-law back well."

Fu Youqin couldn't hold back her angry face when she thought of the "daughter-in-law" in his mouth, "Why didn't Fengzhang come back with you?"

Fu Huang propped his chin, "I'm still in the camp outside the city, and I can only come back after dealing with the affairs in the army, and my brother-in-law is still there."

Fu Youqin compared the coats in front of him, and pinned the needle and thread into the sewing bag with satisfaction, "Ask someone to send a message to your sister, she is also very worried these days."

Fu Huang nodded, "When I'm done, let my brother-in-law and sister come over for a meal. There is something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it?" Fu Youqin was surprised.

Fu Tian pursed her lips and smiled, "I want to get married this year."

Fu Youqin looked a little hesitant, "Inside the palace..."

Fu Tian didn't look worried at all, and was still smiling, "There is no problem between the queen mother and the emperor. The trouble is with the clan, but I told heaven that he will solve it."

Compared with the shyness he used to mention marriage, he seemed much more generous and calm, "We have been engaged for so long, we don't want to delay any longer."

Fu Youqin looked at him with a gentle expression. The little boy who would snuggle in her arms in the past had grown up completely, and there was no childishness in his eyebrows. Instead, he had the indifference and composure of an adult.

She smiled gratifiedly, "Then pick a good day, and I'll let someone see it."

"Thank you ma'am."

"..."

The mother and son were talking and laughing, and got together intimately to discuss the details of the marriage. When Chu Xiangtian came back from Daying, Fu Tian had even chosen the date.

There is only one auspicious day in the first half of the year, which is on June [-].It won't be too rushed, and it doesn't need to wait for a long time. Fu Tian is very satisfied, and Chu Xiangtian is also very satisfied after listening to it when he comes back.

"Tomorrow we will enter the palace together." Chu Xiangtian hugged him lightly, with a smile on his brows and eyes, "Speak to the mother first, then tell the emperor brother, and by the way, let's tell the old stubborn people in the clan."

It's all nonsense to ask for the consent of the ancestors. It's just that those stubborn old people are not used to him marrying a man, and they dare not speak out to obstruct it, so they find an excuse to drag it. It happened to be Fu Shuyue's wedding earlier. Xiang Tian didn't care about it. Now that everything is ready, if anyone dares to obstruct it, he will not be polite.

The next day, the two entered the palace together, and first went to the Longevity Palace to meet the Empress Dowager. It happened that Chu Fengyuan was also there, but the atmosphere between mother and son was a little delicate.

Ever since Chu Xiangtian went to the battlefield, the queen mother has been chanting scriptures and praying for blessings every day, and has never slept peacefully. Later, when she heard the news of Chu Xiangtian's disappearance, before she could feel sad, she heard from Chu Fengyuan that Fu Tian had brought people to find him. Went to the border.

The always good-tempered queen mother rarely got angry with the emperor, and scolded him for letting Fu Tian go to the border. If something happened to Fu Tian, ​​how would she explain to her youngest son?

Feng Yuan couldn't tell because he was suffering, and he had to take care of the emperor's face, so he could only bear the empress dowager's anger. After that, the empress dowager went to the temple to meditate, fasting and praying for the two children.

It wasn't until Fu Tian and the others returned to Qingyang that the Queen Mother was willing to come back from the temple when she received the news.

Seeing the two neat and tidy children, the queen mother couldn't hold back her tears, and wiped the corners of her eyes frequently with a handkerchief. The two brothers looked at each other, rarely at a loss. People coax well.

The queen mother took Fu Tian to look carefully, and pinched his cheek with some distress, "I lost weight, did I suffer at the border?"

As she spoke, she recalled the good deeds done by her eldest son, and said slightly dissatisfied: "The emperor shouldn't have allowed you to go to the border."

Chu Fengyuan: "..."

He coughed and winked at Fu Tian frequently. He didn't want people to go, but firstly, he couldn't stop Fu Tian if he ran away secretly, and secondly, Fu Tian's attitude was too firm at that time. I fully believe that he can find Chu Xiangtian.

Facts have proved that it was right to let Fu Tian go, but the Queen Mother would not accept such an explanation.

When Fu Tian received his gaze, he couldn't help smiling, and explained again and again that he insisted on going, not that Chu Fengyuan didn't want to stop it, but that he couldn't stop it.

The queen mother looked at the two serious-looking sons, and then looked at Fu Tian who was smiling very lovably beside her, and sighed, after all, she didn't get angry with the eldest son anymore.

Fu Huang stayed in the palace for lunch. After the meal, Chu Xiangtian mentioned that he was going to prepare for the wedding. As expected, the Queen Mother agreed. If she didn't object at first, then she and Chu Xiangtian are in the same mood now. Not much more.

Although Fu Tian is a man, but apart from this point, he really can't be picked anywhere. He looks good and comes from a family background, has a good personality and has a responsible personality, and he can live and die with his partner in times of crisis. Married to Chu Xiangtian, the threshold of Kanglehou's mansion will be broken by the matchmaker.

The Empress Dowager looked at the happy young son, shook her head, and said to Chu Fengyuan: "The two men are married, if you don't like whoever will marry, I'm afraid there will be gossips in whichever house the grand ceremony is held in the future..."

Chu Fengyuan had the same idea as the Empress Dowager, and immediately understood what she meant, and continued: "It's better to have the marriage granted by me, and the grand ceremony will be held in the palace."

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, and the marriage between the two was settled.

The two stayed in the palace for two days. After leaving the palace, Chu Xiangtian went to the clan first. When he went, his face was gloomy, but when he came back, his face was full of spring breeze.

The next day, the imperial edict of granting marriage arrived at Kanglehou's mansion.

The chief eunuch recited the imperial decree in a high-pitched voice, and congratulated the two of them with cupped hands.

Chu Xiangtian was in high spirits every happy event, and the smile on his face never faded. Hearing this, he immediately stuffed him with a big red envelope, and his expression was unprecedentedly kind, which scared the head eunuch who was used to cold faces. That's enough.

After the marriage decree came down, news came from the clan within a few days, saying that the auspicious day had been counted, and when the red paper with the auspicious date was opened, it was the eighteenth day of June that Fu Tian and the others preferred.

Chu Xiangtian put away the red paper and smiled triumphantly.

The auspicious date has been set, and all that remains is to prepare for the wedding.

The emperor bestowed a marriage, the wedding ceremony was held in the palace, and all the trivial matters of the wedding were prepared by the palace, so the two grooms-to-be were free.

The two of them who had nothing to do didn't go out, they just stayed in the house all day long, but in the end, the people outside couldn't wait and came to the door tremblingly.

The person who came was the steward of Zhuangzi. In November last year, Fu Huang reclaimed a field on Zhuangzi and planted seedlings that he said were grown from new rice. These seedlings were unreasonable. Planted and taken care of by Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi thought it was absurd at first, but the seedlings he planted actually survived most of the cold winter. After the war was fierce, Fu Huang went to the frontier, so he stopped paying attention to Zhuangzi's news.

On the contrary, the steward who guards the paddy field every day is very excited. These seedlings are only planted on an acre of field, half of them froze to death when it snowed, and more than half of them survived under his nose. Grow up, shoot leaves and grow ears, turn from green to yellow, and now it is finally harvested.
