Chapter 24 Prince Zhao Chen
The nearest pier from Zhan'an River to the capital is in Futai Town, and it takes another fifty or sixty miles to reach the capital.

Han Youning stood on the deck, and from a distance, he could see crowds of people on the pier and flags flying.The soldiers in full armor stood majestically, waiting in formation, and the ring pier was in a state of encirclement.

Rather than saying that they came to welcome the King of Jin, it is better to say that they were prepared to frighten the King of Jin.

The guards and accompanying soldiers on the big ship all looked alert, although their swords had not been sheathed, their hands were already on their sheaths.

There is a sense of tension between the two armies.

Only then did Han Youning truly feel that the emperor had never really felt at ease with his younger brother.Those so-called values, like Zhao Chengyuan's indifference, are all for others to see.

Zhao Chengyuan stood leisurely at the bow of the boat with a smile on his face, and his moon-white brocade robe with dragon and cloud patterns was hunting in the wind.

As the pier got closer, the faces of the people on the pier became clear, Han Youning's eyes narrowed, and his hands tightly grasped the railing.

In front of the line of soldiers, a group of officials in official robes stood respectfully behind a tall man.

It was a gentle and comfortable handsome man, with a smile on his brows, and he stood rustlingly.The apricot-yellow brocade robe is dignified, with a mighty dragon flying through the clouds and fog, with a ferocious face.

Prince Zhao Chen.

The man who cut out a piece of flesh from her heart.

Han Youning did not expect to meet Zhao Chen so early.

In her previous life, she didn't meet him until a few months later.At that time, her father had already returned to the imperial court, and she was officially recognized as the eldest daughter of Dingguo's mansion.

Because of the changes on her side, the development of things has become more and more different. I don't know how much of my prophetic advantage will be left in the end.

At this time, he was twenty-three years old, and he still had the cheerful spirit of a young man.And five years later, the gloomy eyes in his eyes could no longer be hidden, which often made her terrified.

Although he never stayed in her yard overnight, he would visit her occasionally.And every time he went there, he just stared at her silently, so gloomy that it was hard to breathe.

Zhao Chen also noticed her, his eyes fell on her for a moment, and he nodded gently.The warmth and warmth between the eyebrows and eyes is exactly the same as when we first met.

He is like a red fire in a cold winter night, making people warm and at ease, and one can't help but want to get closer.

When everyone laughed at her for being fat, he said softly, "Don't pay attention to them, you look very cute like this."

She turned into a moth and threw herself into the fire without hesitation.

At last……

It is not only myself who is destroyed.

Han Youning clenched her fists tightly, suppressing the surging hatred and disgust in her heart, not letting herself show any strangeness.

As the big ship approached the shore, Zhao Chen took two steps forward, fully performing the low profile of a junior, and saluted Zhao Chengyuan respectfully from afar across the boarding of the landing boat.

"My nephew was ordered by my father to come to welcome Uncle Seven. Uncle Seven has worked hard all the way."

Zhao Chengyuan nodded slightly, and walked ashore unhurriedly. He ignored Zhao Chen's hand to help him, and put his hand behind his back.

He is younger than Zhao Chen, but he is full of the aura of an elder, and he has no intention of giving face to the prince Zhao Chen.

He nodded to those soldiers with his chin, "What are these people doing here?"

Zhao Chen hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Father received the memorial you handed over. Hearing that the garrison of Yuming Mansion was involved, he asked his nephew to bring troops to receive them. Uncle took care of it."

The soldiers shouted loudly, "Welcome the prince back to Beijing!"

"Welcome the prince back to Beijing!"

……

The voice is majestic and imposing.

Zhao Chengyuan glanced at them lightly, and said slowly, "Brother Huang has a heart."

He turned around and told Luo Ping, "The soldiers from the Yuming Mansion will be handed over to the people brought by the prince. The Jinzhou garrison will return the same way, and the guards will stay."

"Yes!"

Luo Ping led the order back to the ship.

Zhao Chen cupped his hands again, "Uncle Huang, don't need to be so anxious. The soldiers from Jinzhou who have traveled thousands of miles away to the capital for the first time should let them appreciate the local customs and customs of the capital before leaving."

Zhao Chengyuan did not intend to be polite to him, "The prince wants to be the host, you can go to them and tell them, presumably they are also willing to make friends with the prince."

It means that it is your idea to invite the officers and soldiers to stay here, and it has nothing to do with me.

The prince's friendship with generals, officers and soldiers is the most taboo of the emperor.

Zhao Chen smiled, and didn't mind Zhao Chengyuan's sharp words.The royal family and nobles all know that the seventh emperor's uncle is detached from the world, and lives a carefree life of idle clouds and wild cranes.

Therefore, there are no royal relatives and officials who have made good friends with Zhao Chengyuan. This is what the emperor likes to hear the most.

"Nephew is not familiar with them, let's let it go."

The officials behind Zhao Chen saw that the Crown Prince and King Jin had finished exchanging greetings, and they all stepped forward to pay their respects, their expressions were more respectful and humble than in front of the Crown Prince.

Zhao Chengyuan nodded and said a few words to them, and the officials were all flattered, as if it was a great honor to speak with King Jin.

Zhao Chen could also feel this gap.

He quietly watched the officials nodding and bowing, some of them were even the third rank in the court, and they flattered so much.

Look at yourself again, standing beside Zhao Chengyuan, half a body behind, is it respectful and dare not go beyond.

He secretly smiled wryly.

Cheerful voices came from the boat, carefree.

He followed the voice and looked at the boys and girls walking towards the sun.

It was Lu Lin who spoke, at a young age, full of vigor, with the unruly flamboyance of a young man all over his body.

The young girl has a round body and tender cheeks, wearing a moon white dress, silver hairpin and silver hairpin, although she is plain but does not hide her good looks.A pair of beautiful eyes full of spirit, even though her expression is tranquil, it still makes her lively and eye-catching, like peach blossoms blooming on the branches in early spring, with a delicate appearance that has not experienced any wind and rain.

"Uncle Huang accidentally rescued Ding Guogong's niece, but he owed you a favor."

Zhao Chengyuan said, "Duke Ding is not the kind of person who talks about human feelings."

Zhao Chen curled his lips into a smile, "That's not necessarily the case. The emperor doesn't care about mundane affairs, and it's a big deal for others to owe favors. No matter how ruthless Duke Ding is, he still has to be grateful to you."

Zhao Chengyuan looked at him from the side, his deep and narrow phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

Although he had no expression, his gaze seemed to be as heavy as a boulder, which made people feel oppressed and suffocated.

Although Zhao Chen had the advantage of his age, he couldn't keep his mind calm under his gaze, "Uncle Emperor, what's wrong?"

Zhao Chengyuan rubbed his fingers slowly, "The girl from the Chen family is just the niece of Mrs. Dingguo's family. The two houses have not been in touch for more than ten years. How can you be sure that he will be grateful to the king?"

Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows, as if he was wondering why the other party asked him this way, "Since Miss Chen has defected here, she is the cousin of Duke Ding's mansion. It is also a life-saving grace. No matter how rough Duke Ding is, he should understand why."

Zhao Chengyuan turned his head to look at Han Youning and the others, noncommittal.

 Dear friends, come here every day to send a punctuation mark, and then go to see the Duke’s office, that’s over, no need to remind me~~
