As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 472 Departing for Beijing
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Yun Qi led a large group of troops to prepare and leave Jibei and return to Beijing, together with the Xuanjia Army.

On the day of departure, the King of Zhongshan and the officials from Northern Hebei personally saw each other off for ten miles.

Chen Wenshuo was dispatched by the King of Zhongshan and went to the capital with Yun Qi to congratulate Emperor Xuanwu on the New Year and prepared a generous gift to accompany him.

This is Chen Wenshuo's first visit to Beijing, and he is going to meet the Holy Spirit as the future head of the Chen family. He has to avoid being scrutinized by Emperor Xuanwu, and he also has to contact old friends in Beijing for the Chen family.

Before setting off, King Zhongshan discussed important matters with Chen Wenshuo.

Chen Zhiji also selected capable retainers to follow Chen Wenshuo.

Northern Hebei seems to be stable now, but in fact it is shaky. Chen Wenshuo is the hope of Northern Hebei in the future, and his marriage is also related to the future prosperity and stability of Northern Hebei.

This time when I go to Beijing, I still need to make a marriage arrangement.

These matters require careful planning, which can not only satisfy their wishes, but also avoid arousing the suspicion of Emperor Xuanwu.

Before departure, Chen Zhiji also met with Yun Qi in person and expressed this idea tactfully.

The Chen family's main branch is almost extinct.

Chen Wenzhuo's incident even implicated many officials in northern Hebei. It can be said that the officialdom in northern Hebei was at war.

The King of Zhongshan also submitted an apology letter and punished himself with salary and so on.

All these are Yun Qi's achievements in inspecting the northern border on behalf of the emperor.

However, the Chen family has been stationed in northern Hebei for more than ten years and has been as stable as Mount Tai, preventing the Turks from outside the country from seeking any benefits. This contribution cannot be erased.

Chen Zhiji hoped that Yun Qi would help the Chen family regain its footing due to their loyalty to the Chen family.

Yun Qi naturally knew this.

When chatting with Xie Zhaozhao about this matter, he also asked Xie Zhaozhao to think about who he should choose if he really wanted to find a suitable marriage for Chen Wenshuo.

Xie Zhaozhao was sitting in the carriage, looking through the slightly opened window and looking at Chen Wenshuo, who was wearing a soft-armored battle robe and with a straight back, not far away, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Chen Wenshuo is indeed a rare young talent, and he is the future head of the Chen family. Her wife cannot be weak in terms of personal talent, virtue, character, and family background.

Xie Zhaozhao always pays attention to the court situation, but he has never paid attention to which family has a suitable daughter to marry, and he can't make up his mind at the moment.

"Zhao Zhao."

Chen Shulan waved in front of Xie Zhaozhao, "Are you listening?"

"I'm listening."

Xie Zhaozhao turned back with a smile.

Since Chen Shulan is married to Xie Changyuan, she is part of the Xie family. Of course she has to go back to the Xie family this time.

It's just that Jibei is where she has lived for many years. Before setting off, she looked at King Zhongshan with tears in her eyes. Needless to say, she felt reluctant to leave.

Xie Zhaozhao was afraid that she would be homesick, so he sat in the carriage with Chen Shulan after setting off.

According to seniority, Xie Zhaozhao should be called Chen Shulan's sister-in-law, and Chen Shulan should also be called Xie Zhaozhao's little sister.

But Xie Zhaozhao is actually two years older than Chen Shulan.

So Chen Shulan took the initiative to call her by name, cordially and warmly.

Xie Zhaozhao held Chen Shulan's hand comfortingly and said, "You all know my family members. You have met and gotten along with them before. They are all very easy to get along with."

"My mother likes a lady like you the most. When my mother sees you, she will treat you as her darling and ask you to discipline the fifth brother well. You don't know, but my mother despises the fifth brother."

Chen Shulan lowered her eyes: "I roughly know the reason why he is disliked, but he... I think he is very capable, but he just looks playful and smiling and does not do his job properly."

"Oh?" Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Did you notice?"

"As I spend more time with him, I will naturally see that he is different from those playboys who only know how to have fun."

Chen Shulan said seriously: "When I was in trouble in Beijing, he saved me, and later the assassins of the Xie Mansion...as well as the incident in Bozhou, and this incident in northern Hebei, it can be seen that he has ideas and good martial arts skills."

"Not doing his job properly and being a playboy are just the way he wants others to see him... Can I ask, is it because of his past that he allowed himself to be like this?"

Chen Shulan immediately added: "I have no other intention, I just want to know more about him, but when I ask him, he always talks nonsense, and the guard next to him also has a tight mouth..."

"I feel that I am his wife now, and we will stay together for the rest of our lives. I can't not understand him at all. This way I feel uneasy."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded to show his understanding and said bluntly: "Sister-in-law Wu, don't worry, he didn't become like this because of some woman."

"..." Chen Shulan opened her mouth, "I, I don't doubt that he is doing this for some woman."

After a pause, Chen Shulan lowered her head and explained: "Even if it is true, I can understand it. After all, I myself have also..."

"When you are young, it is inevitable that you will have emotions and feelings for some beautiful things."

"Your fifth brother's age, coupled with his good temperament, good looks, and good abilities, it seems natural to meet not only one person you like, but also two or three who are entangled with each other."

Xie Zhaozhao's smile deepened, "It's hard for my sister-in-law to think so."

Chen Shulan shook his head.

It’s not that you think about it, but the past is the past after all, and people always have to look forward.

She was curious about Xie Changyuan's past because she met Chen Wenshuo the day before yesterday. The two brothers and sisters talked about it. When Chen Wenshuo mentioned that the Xie family opened up territory and expanded the territory of the dynasty, Xie Changyuan was also a very capable young man.

He once led a team of a hundred light cavalry to raid the enemy camp, going deep behind enemy lines and causing chaos in the enemy's position.

The battle hasn't even started yet, but he can already exhaust the opponent.

Not only was he world-famous back then, he was definitely a young talent that was discussed and anticipated by various forces.

But the talented person turned into a wasted talent inexplicably, and became a dandy who did not do his job properly.

This makes many people feel helpless and frustrated.

Chen Shulan felt that sudden changes always need some reason, could it happen out of nowhere?

In fact, she had some guesses in her mind, but she was not sure, so she asked Xie Zhaozhao about it while chatting.

Xie Zhaozhao was thinking about how to say this, when suddenly the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the wall of the carriage was knocked twice.

Xie Zhaozhao opened the car window and said, "Fifth brother?"

"Come out, and I'll switch with you." Xie Changyuan's lazy voice rang out: "It's too tiring to ride horses!"

Xie Zhaozhao joked: "Are you afraid that I will tell the fifth sister-in-law all the embarrassing things about your childhood and make you embarrassed, so you came here like this? You are late. I have said everything that should be said and should not be said." said!"

Xie Changyuan screamed: "Are you really my sister?"

"Like a fake replacement!"

Xie Zhaozhao lifted up her skirt and bent out of the carriage, reaching for a riding whip: "I'll ride a horse. You, hurry up and get in the car to comfort the fifth sister-in-law. She is crying very sadly."

"..."

Xie Changyuan narrowed his eyes at Xie Zhaozhao, but seeing that what she said was serious, he secretly wondered if this stinky girl had told him all about his romantic past with women!

Xie Changyuan glared at Xie Zhaozhao speechlessly, gave her the whip, and got on the carriage himself.

Xie Zhaozhao then Shi Shiran mounted Xie Changyuan's horse and chased Yun Qi.
