The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 98 The Return
The sun is setting, the vast grassland is shrouded in the brilliant sunset, and the vastness is filled with a sense of roughness and gentleness.

All the honorable children came back with their prey, and Emperor Wen of Tang personally inspected the prey and rewarded them for their merits.

The three who hunted the gray wolf were the top three, and among the three, they were judged according to the position of the gray wolf's arrow.Zhao Chen's feathered arrow just hit the gray wolf's neck, and the wolf's fur was the best preserved, so it was the first.The third prince Rui Wang Tang Tao was next, and he shot the gray wolf in the abdomen. Prince An's son Tang Ying ranked third because he shot three arrows, two in the eyes and one in the neck, a veritable massacre.

In fact, Tang Ying was able to hit the wolf's eye, which shows that his archery skills may not be inferior to Zhao Chen's, but his killing method is too cruel. Emperor Tang Wen took a look at it and judged that Zhao Chen used the least and most accurate arrows. Give the famous bow to Zhao Chen.

As the "No. [-] scholar" of this hunting, on the way back to the tent, Zhao Chen was surrounded by some honorable disciples who kept praising his archery skills.Zhao Chen still had a cold face, but whenever someone talked to him, he would answer politely, and occasionally he would smile slightly when he said something interesting.

These children from the capital knew a thing or two about Zhao Yunting's temperament. Although Zhao Chen's reaction was not enthusiastic, he could understand it. Father and son, father and son, of course have similarities.When Zhao Chen arrived outside his camp, the few people who were traveling all the way said goodbye with smiles, and before leaving, they agreed to drink together at the evening banquet.

Zhao Chen stood outside the tent and watched them off. When the laughter in front of him was far away, he looked at the young man who was still by his side: "What's the matter, Prince Ji?"

Ji Zhao scratched his head embarrassingly, his eyes fell on the gray wolf on the wooden cart pushed by two guards helping Zhao Chen, and asked tentatively: "Brother Shi, what do you plan to do with this wolf?"

Zhao Chen took the two family letters from Chen Ping, and asked casually while reading the words on the envelope: "Do you want it?"

This was the first time Zhao Chen answered his words along the way. Ji Zhao was very happy, and said with a smile: "I don't want it, but I haven't eaten the wolf meat I hunted. When Brother Shi wants to eat wolf meat, can you call me?" fuck me?"

Who said that the wolf was shot by him?
Zhao Chen smiled and glanced at the eldest son who insisted on following him for some reason, because he was in a hurry to read the letter inside and didn't want to get entangled with Ji Zhao: "The emperor is hosting a banquet tonight, tomorrow night, let's call everyone over tomorrow night, let's get together It's fun to eat." After saying that, without further delay, he entered the tent.Ji Zhao's excited cheers came from outside, Zhao Chen smiled, took off his coat and handed it to Chen Ping, who took two letters and sat on the big chair.

Which one to watch first?

When he was in Dengzhou before, he lived in the county seat for many consecutive days, and his mother wrote to him when he had something to do, but it was the first time for his wife to write to him.

Zhao Chen nervously opened Ah Ju's letter.

Zhao Chen was happy and unhappy on a thin sheet of paper, but he wrote three pages to her, but looking at the purple orchid that fell out because of his too fast movements, Zhao Chen immediately forgave his wife for being lazy, Carefully put the orchid back into the envelope, and then read the letter in the faint fragrance of orchid.

In just a few lines of small words, a person like her is gentle and reserved between the lines.

Obviously there were no love words he was expecting, Zhao Chen still smiled till the end, then froze, staring at the small words in disbelief.

He is going to be a father?
At a loss in his mind, Zhao Chen Wan seemed to freeze there, staring blankly at the letter for about a cup of tea.Just when Chen Ping began to worry about the bad news in the letter, he saw his uncle put the letter in his arms calmly, and continued to open and read the next one.

Always feel a little wrong?

Chen Ping couldn't help holding his breath, secretly observing the changes in the uncle's expression.

Zhao Chen didn't change much. After reading everything, he got confirmation in his mother's letter. He put on the robe that still had his body temperature, and ordered Chen Ping to prepare the horse.

Chen Ping didn't understand what he meant, so he obediently led the horse over. When Zhao Chen got on the horse, Chen Ping finally couldn't help asking: "Where do you want to go? There will be a banquet there soon."

"I know." Zhao Chen snatched the rope from the horse, and with his legs caught in the belly of the horse, he rushed a few feet away, but he stopped abruptly, turned around and ordered loudly: "Skin that wolf right away, and then give it to Hou Zhongyi The prince will send you two catties." He ran away without thinking.

Chen Pingyuan stood there for a while, is the uncle happy or unhappy?
On the vast grassland, Zhao Chen aimlessly galloped his horse.The breeze stirred his robe and made a rustling sound, and his heart also flew up, wishing he could hurry back to the capital to see his pregnant wife whom he had separated for more than a month.

Fortunately, he was not so ecstatic that he lost his mind, and he rushed back in time before the dinner began.

Men like to drink the most, let alone on this grassland that is easy to attract people's pride, Zhao Chen is very happy, but whenever someone offers him a toast, he will drink it all up, even when Tang Ying comes over, he looks at the other party. It's all a little more pleasing to the eye.

"Why, do you know that you are going to be a father?" Guo Zijing sneaked up and asked with a smile.Seeing that Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, Guo Zijing touched Zhao Chen's bowl with the wine bowl, and took the initiative to explain: "Bao Zhu said it in the letter. But be happy if you are happy, don't drink too much, it won't look good if you get drunk after a while."

After speaking, he turned around, not wanting King Jing to come here at some time, Guo Zijing nodded his head, said goodbye and left.

"Your Highness." Zhao Chen quickly put down the bowl and saluted Tang Yun.

Tang Yun was physically weak since she was a child, so she only drank a small cup with Zhao Chen, "I didn't intend to hear about it just now, is your wife happy?"

A smile appeared in Zhao Chen's eyes: "The days are still short, less than two months."

Tang Yun looked up at the night sky slightly, as if recalling something, and soon looked at Zhao Chen with a smile: "Now the concubine's fetal phase is stable, and Mrs. Zun is also happy to conceive Lin'er. The lantern given by the master is really effective." , she will be very happy when I go back to my prince and princess Titi, she will always remember the kindness of Mrs. Zun."

Zhao Chen silently calculated that Ah Ju was indeed conceived around the Lantern Festival, and he couldn't help laughing: "The princess is kind, Cheng Yuan thanked the princess for my wife, but the princess doesn't have to worry about it, it's my wife who was blessed by the princess."

Tang Yun smiled and shook her head, chatted with him for a few words, and went to the next table.

Zhao Chen looked at the thin back of King Jing, and then looked at His Highness King Rui who was also toasting with others not far away, and his mind returned to the court hall.

After a night of fun, the talents began to compete again in the next few days.

In addition to hunting, there is also horse archery.

In the horse race competition, Zhao Chen lost to King Rui by half a horse's head and came in second, Tang Ying ranked third.King Rui did not participate in the archery competition, Zhao Chen and Tang Ying had a duel.Zhao Chen had thought of yielding to Tang Ying before, but in the horse race that yielded to King Rui, he had already won favor with Emperor Tang Wen, so there was no need to hide his clumsiness at this time, but Tang Ying was really good at archery, and he narrowly won in the end .

At the end, Tang Ying cupped her hands at Zhao Chen from afar, her eyes darkened.

Zhao Chen didn't take it seriously, and also bowed his hands and said "acceptance" in return.

At the final appointment, Zhao Chen got the commander of Jinwu's vanguard, but unexpectedly, the commander of the imperial guard, right, was someone else, and Tang Ying was sent by Emperor Wen of Tang Dynasty to Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, as a thousand households, only fifth rank.

On the way back to Beijing, Guo Zijing took the time to say to Zhao Chen: "The emperor wants to train Tang Ying to take over Jinyiwei."

Zhao Chen had already guessed it.

The new emperor came to the throne, and the court would not stabilize within two or three years. Tang Ying was ruthless and not afraid of offending others. It was a perfect fit to go to Jinyiwei. Any unruly official who met him could only ask for good fortune.

It has to be said that the emperor does employ people.Not to mention anything else, Prince An's Mansion has long been at odds with the Zhao and Guo families. Their aunt brothers and Tang Ying check each other, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about either party becoming bigger.

Use you, but also guard against you.

A companion is like a tiger, it was the first time that Zhao Chen understood the deep meaning of this sentence so clearly.

It's just that when he returned to the capital and was about to meet his wife who had been separated for many months, Zhao Chen immediately forgot about those treacherous court affairs.

His winter clothes are thick when he is gone, but his summer clothes are thin when he returns. Doesn’t his Aju look better?

He always remembered her slim figure when they first met last summer.
