The prince's wedding blind box is very sweet

In Shouyan Palace, Xiao Lin's mood is the same as Wu Xuan's, but his way of expression seems to be more forbearing and introverted.

Gu Muchen is going to go to the northwest border tomorrow, Xiaolin is also reluctant, but suppresses that emotion in front of Gu Muchen, not wanting to be worried.

He touched the battle armor prepared for Gu Muchen on the wooden frame, and rubbed his white fingertips on the fine iron scales of the armor, as if he could already imagine how majestic Gu Muchen would be when he put on this armor Stern look.

At this moment, Xiao Lin's waist tightened, and Gu Muchen, who had just come out of the bath, was still covered with warm moisture, and hugged him from behind, wrapping his whole body in that warm chest.

Gu Muchen kissed and pecked lightly on his earlobe, and said in a gentle voice: "Your lord is very preoccupied, are you still worrying about my going out for battle tomorrow?"

Xiaolin turned around, put his arms around Gu Muchen's neck, looked at him deeply, with an indelible sadness in his eyes, and said, "I don't know how long it will take for Master Hou to return victoriously, swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield, even To protect the family and the country, you must also take care of yourself, even if it is for me, you must come back safely."

Life and death are unpredictable on the battlefield, so Gu Muchen naturally knew Xiaolin's worries. He rubbed Xiaolin's head and said softly, "I promise you, I will come back safely."

Xiaolin's eyes were still sore, he stood on tiptoe and kissed those lips tenderly, as if with all the reluctance, he wanted to give him everything now.

On the second day, on Changning Street, the common people gathered around both sides of the street to bid farewell to the Northern Expedition Army with the current Holy Majesty.

Gu Muchen put on that silver armor and sat on a high-headed war horse. There were three thousand troops behind him. They were the former army of the old Marquis. When they heard that the barbarians invaded the border again, they all volunteered to join the young man. Hou Ye went to the battlefield all the way, hating the souls of ninety thousand people who died.

Xiaolin didn't come today, Gu Muchen saw only Wu Xuan who was crying in the crowd, and Steward Chen from the waiting mansion came to see him off with his servants.

Gu Muchen knew that Xiaolin didn't want him to see the tearful farewell, so he didn't come to see him off face to face. He also felt sore. After bidding farewell to the emperor over there, he pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, leading the troops Started to go.

The new year is coming soon, but this year is even less year-like than before, and it is still a bit bleak.

On New Year's Eve, Xiaolin went to the palace to reunite with the Empress Dowager as usual, and then went to see the emperor, and bought some New Year's gadgets for Xiaoxuan'er. After playing around with the children for half an afternoon, she went to participate in the emperor's preparations. The New Year's Eve palace banquet.

Because Gu Muchen wasn't around, Xiao Lin seemed to be alone, and the New Year's Eve dinner was also tasteless.

Xiaolin looked at the officials talking, laughing, drinking and chatting, thinking that Gu Muchen was still on the battlefield in the bitter cold place, and at this moment, he might not even have time to eat a hot meal, let alone be as safe as them Sit down comfortably in the warm pavilion and have a New Year's Eve dinner.

Thinking of this, Xiaolin felt even more uncomfortable. Thinking about it, he really hit the mark at the beginning, and this year was really uncomfortable.

Seeing that the emperor's uncle was absent-minded, Xiaoyi knew that he was thinking about Lord Hou. Seeing that he still felt a little distressed, she kindly asked Wang Gonggong to go down and tell him that he could leave first without waiting for the banquet to end.

Xiao Lin looked at the emperor above him gratefully, then went out and knelt down to bid farewell, and then left.

After coming out of the palace, Xiaolin went back to the Hou's mansion, and when he entered the door, he found many people, twice as many as usual.

And at a glance, he saw Liu Feng, a few familiar maidservants and the butler, so he knew that they all came from the palace.

I saw Liu Feng came up and kowtowed: "My subordinate pays homage to the lord."

Afterwards, the servants of the palace also came to pay their respects. Xiaolin looked around suspiciously, thinking that he had entered the wrong palace, and then saw Steward Chen of the waiting mansion come over and explained: "Your Majesty, don't be surprised, this old slave made his own decision. I invited the guards of the palace to come over, the Hou's palace has few people, and I want to make this New Year's Eve more lively, I hope the prince will not blame him."

In fact, Steward Chen saw the lord's gloomy look recently, so he thought of turning the Hou's mansion into a royal mansion's atmosphere, which might make him feel better after seeing it.

Xiao Lin knew that Steward Chen was a delicate person, and he did all this to make him feel the warmth of being in the palace, so he said: "Butler Chen has a heart, why would he blame you, the king should thank you."

In fact, there are so many people celebrating the New Year together, which is really good. Xiaolin was still a little depressed, but seeing their laughter and laughter made her feel much better.

This time, I also sent Xu Yan and Sanyue who are in the south of the Yangtze River to celebrate the new year together. Although Xiaolin was still a little confused about these two identities, he later found out that he didn't seem like a person with bad intentions, especially that Xu Yan, who made him feel unreasonable. There was a sense of intimacy.

Wuxuan, Sanyue, and Chenfeng, these three children were playing around in the yard, and they even played a game of eagle and chicken with the palace guard Liu Feng, they seemed quite happy.They still have to keep watch tonight, and they plan to stay up all night after the New Year's Eve dinner.

Although Xiao Lin really wanted to go out and play with them, but because he was a prince, going out would probably make other people feel awkward, so he sat in the pavilion with Xu Yan, who also couldn't go out to play, drinking tea, and there was a charcoal stove next to him , it doesn't feel cold even outside.

At this time, Xu Yan suddenly said: "Since the national teacher defected, have you not found his whereabouts?"

Xiaolin was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that this person had been with the national teacher before, so he said: "The imperial court sent the imperial army and the guards from all over the country to search and arrest, but this person is as if the world has evaporated, and he still hasn't been found. By the way, still What do you know about the national teacher, where is he most likely hiding?"

Xu Yan shook his head and said: "I have no contact with him, and I only had a few meetings and exchanges before, but... I have heard that he has contact with foreign people in southern Xinjiang, maybe you can go there and check."

Xiaolin said: "You mean the Xinling tribe? It's really suitable for hiding there, but there are spies sent to track it down, so there is no news yet."

At this time, firecrackers suddenly exploded outside, blowing up the night sky into a riot of colors, unknowingly making friends, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Xiao Lin and Xu Yan both walked out, Wu Xuan and the others were lighting fireworks in the courtyard, and the sky above the Hou Mansion suddenly became colorful.

Xu Yan's eyes were covered with a white cloth, and he looked up at the night sky slightly. The light from the fireworks exploded on his face. Although he couldn't see it, he could feel it. The night sky must be beautiful tonight, just like that New Year's Eve in the palace. , but at this time his relatives are not there, he is alone...

Thinking of the end, he turned his head to look in Xiaolin's direction, and felt the lively laughter in the courtyard. In fact, he was not alone this year, and he still felt warm in his heart.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor received the first good news from the frontier, which added joy to the capital that was shrouded in the haze of the previous defeat.

At the same time, a letter from the family was delivered to the Hou's Mansion from outside the customs. This letter was sealed with special wax, and Xiaolin knew that it was the unique letter paper of Qianyuan Pavilion.

When he got the letter, Xiaolin didn't know that there was a good news from the front line, because he didn't go to court for three days during the New Year's holiday, so he only knew that it was a letter from Gu Muchen, which made his hands tremble when he opened the letter with excitement. .

Opening the letter, I saw Gu Muchen's beautiful handwriting that can be used as a copybook. I saw the content of the letter saying that the battle was temporarily successful, the barbarian army was defeated during the attack on the city and retreated outside the pass, and Heishui City was saved.

Finally, some heartfelt words to Xiaolin. Gu Muchen said that they had won the battle. He personally went to the back mountain to hunt several wild boars and came back. He thought it was New Year’s Eve when he added food to the soldiers to celebrate. This New Year’s Eve dinner was delicious. It's very lively, so Xiaolin doesn't have to worry about him...

Seeing that everything was fine, Xiao Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, he carefully put away Gu Muchen's letter like a treasure, and went to tell Wu Xuan the news as well.

It hasn't been too long since the stable days, and something happened on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

Although the Jiangnan General Soldier has never let down his vigilance, the Nanyang people will suddenly attack from the sea, which he did not expect.

Gu Muchen had told Wu Yi before going out that the Nanyang gang would definitely take action to keep the Jiangnan navy on guard and never let them have a chance to land.

The spies ahead came to report that there were 3 Nanyang troops coming this time, and there were [-] warships and warships in total. It can be seen that this time it cost money. Wu Yi recalled the [-] troops who stayed in Banyang, leaving some people behind. Defend the city and bring [-] water-savvy soldiers to support at sea.

When fighting at sea, the most powerful weapon is naturally fierce kerosene. This thing will not be extinguished when it burns on the sea surface, and they still have enough of it. The last time Gu Muchen asked people to store the kerosene in Wu'an County can come in handy. .

If those Nanyang people dare to step into the Central Plains, Wu Yi promises that they will never return.

Banyang is a place that cannot be attacked for a long time. The easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack land forms a natural barrier to protect the rebels. The defenders in the imperial city and the garrisons in the south of the Yangtze River fought bloody battles for more than ten days and wiped out the rebels. More than 1 people, now simply guard every intersection down the mountain, trap those people to death on the mountain, and when they run out of ammunition and food, they will be powerless to resist.

At the same time, a group of refugee rebels suddenly appeared in Wu'an County in the south of the Yangtze River. They were said to be refugees, but they had excellent weapons and equipment, just like the regular army. There were about ten thousand of them in total, and they attacked the main city of Wu'an County without any explanation.

And there is also a mysterious alien army of 2 people, taking this opportunity, quietly marching towards the palace.

After the annual holiday, the officials who had finished the morning court had just come out of the Daxiong Hall when they were blocked back by a group of menacing men.

The leader was Qing Yu, the national teacher who had disappeared for a long time, which caused all the officials to rush into the palace as if they had seen a ghost.

Before the emperor in the court hall had time to go back down, he saw a group of people rushing in and surrounded the court hall inside and outside.

The national teacher walked towards the emperor, with a sinister smile on his mouth, he said: "Your Majesty, long time no see, I miss you a little bit."

When Xiaoyi saw that person, her pupils shrank suddenly: "Qing Yu?!"
