Chapter 248 There is a beauty
"Madam, I heard that the Marquis brought a strange woman back to the tent."
Shen Zhaojun had just finished patrolling the city, but before he even entered the military camp gate, Jianglu hurried out to report.
"What a joke! How can a strange woman enter the military camp?" Shen Zhaojun knew her husband's temper and knew that he would never let a strange woman get close to him.
"It is said that the Fourth Master brought him into the military camp, and he was spotted by the Marquis halfway along the way, and was directly abducted and taken to the camp. He has not come out until now. Could it be..."
Jianglu didn't dare to think further.
Shen Zhaojun smiled and said, "I believe in you, Lord. There must be something behind this."
He slowed down his pace and rode slowly into the military camp. Not long after he got there, he heard a soldier excitedly say, "Just now, the Marquis ordered a banquet tonight to reward everyone."
"What do you mean by rewarding everyone? It's obvious that the Marquis has won a beauty, so we need to hold a banquet to celebrate."
"What beauty can compare to the Marquis's wife? Stop talking nonsense."
"Why bother so much? Just have meat to eat and wine to drink."
"..."
Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Shen Zhaojun smiled disapprovingly.
Suddenly a resounding voice said, "In my opinion, the Marquis's wife is eager for the Marquis to take a concubine."
"Our Marquis has a playboy face but a love-struck heart. Otherwise, how could he have married the most beautiful woman in Fuguang? The girl who was praised to the sky in the rumors turned ugly immediately in front of the Marquis' wife."
Shen Zhaojun was tired of hearing these words and just shook his head speechlessly.
He rode his horse to the outside of the master's tent, jumped off the horse and handed the reins to Jianglu. Before entering the tent, he spoke:
"I heard that the Marquis abducted a beauty into the tent."
Shen Zhaojun lifted the curtain and walked in to ask directly, deliberately teasing: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you wanted to take a concubine? I will personally arrange the ceremony for you to take a concubine."
Chu Ce was not surprised to hear this, he stood up and greeted him, "Yes, he cried for a long time and fell asleep, Madam, go and take a look yourself, if you think it's okay, we can keep him."
"There really is a beauty!"
"Madam, you will know if you go in and take a look yourself."
Shen Zhaojun was a little surprised. She thought it was just a joke from everyone, but she didn't expect that there was really a beautiful woman in the tent.
But she knew her husband and he would not seek trouble. She walked into the living room at the back out of curiosity, and soon came out with red eyes and snuggled into Chu Ce's arms.
"It's a good thing that my daughter is back. Why are you crying?"
Chu Ce asked the question even though he knew the answer. He thought the last time they met was forever, but he didn't expect his daughter to show up again.
He was very happy when he suddenly saw his daughter appear, but he was also very conflicted when he thought that they would eventually be separated in the future. He didn't know whether she would leave again after coming back this time.
"I thought I'd never see you again..."
Shen Zhaojun wiped the corners of his eyes gently. He had been told that he would participate in the Immortal Sect election two years later, and he really thought it would be two years.
Two years seemed like a long time to her, but this time her daughter had been away for half a year and then she realized that it was not two years that she and her daughter had spent together, but rather two years waiting for the Immortal Sect election to begin.
"Now that your daughter is back, you can finally put down the heavy stone in your heart."
Chu Ce knew that his wife was still upset about the day she forgot to pick up their daughter when her son came back.
Although the daughter came out to see them later, she only told her that she was going out and would not be back for an uncertain time. During this time, someone from Tianji Pavilion came to deliver a letter, saying that the daughter had encountered some troubles and would come back after the troubles were resolved, but did not say what kind of troubles she had encountered.
I thought I would never see my daughter again, but when I returned to the camp after patrolling the city today, I saw my daughter wandering around the barracks.
He hugged his wife and sat down and said, "Just now, Huang'er used up her magic power to deliver a letter to His Majesty on behalf of Minister Li, saying that she was tired and needed to rest. I have already sent out orders to hold a banquet tonight to reward the three armies. By the way, I will introduce Huang'er to everyone. After all, she will be staying here for a while."
"Huang'er sent a letter to His Majesty. Isn't that telling His Majesty that our daughter is with us? Will it be..."
"No." Chu Ce said disapprovingly: "My son is already in Kyoto. If Your Majesty forces Huang'er to go back, it will definitely cause criticism from the court officials."
"My son passed the imperial examination and was admitted to the Hanlin Academy. I wonder if he will be ostracized?" Shen Zhaojun was worried that the empress was targeting her son and making him uncomfortable in the Hanlin Academy.
"You don't need to worry about him, no matter who you are worried about." Chu Ce said disapprovingly, "Have you ever seen anyone who doesn't like Huan'er? Except for his daughter, of course. The old-fashioned people in the Hanlin Academy would want to give him their daughters and granddaughters when they see him."
"My son has a flamboyant personality like you. Can the top two candidates accept this?"
"The top scholar Shang Qingxian and the second place Yan Guici were in trouble at the beginning of the year. It was my daughter who brought people to rescue them. For this favor, I will not make things difficult for Huan'er."
Chu Ce deliberately changed the subject and said, "Huang'er has grown taller, and her clothes don't fit her anymore. Take some time to look for good fabrics and find a local tailor to make two new sets of clothes for your daughter."
When talking about his daughter's clothes not fitting, Shen Zhaojun said with a distressed look on his face: "Huang'er has been living outside for more than half a year, eating wind and drinking dew, she must have suffered a lot."
"Then you guessed wrong." Chu Ce said with a smile: "According to the girl herself, she was only in seclusion to form a pill, but when she closed her eyes and opened them again, six months had passed. The key is that she spent half a year but did not form a pill. My daughter felt very depressed."
"It's good that the pill didn't form. At least she can still be with me for a while."
Thinking that there was only a little over a year left, Shen Zhaojun did not feel happy. He just felt fortunate that there was still a little over a year left.
When You Huang woke up, it was already dark and a bonfire had been lit outside. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice: "Madam, although it is late autumn now, Guangrun Prefecture is located in the southwest and the weather is still very hot. The meat we bought during the day has a bit of smell now. I'm afraid the girl won't eat it because she is picky."
This is the sound of flowing frost.
The smell of meat immediately came to Youhuang's mind. He tried hard not to vomit, and then he heard his mother's voice.
"She has to endure hardships when she comes to the military camp. How can we give her any special treatment?" Shen Zhaojun thought for a moment and said, "First, marinate the meat, string it into skewers, and let the soldiers grill it themselves. As for Huang'er, prepare some side dishes and porridge for her. She can eat the grilled meat."
"But……"
"Huan'er and Yang'er have never been treated specially, so Huang'er is no exception."
Shen Zhaojun interrupted Liu Shuang and said, "Our Huang'er is not a spoiled person. She suffered so much when she was young. This little bit of suffering is nothing to her."
"I have already found the fabric for the young lady's dress, but..." Liu Shuang paused and said, "No outsiders are allowed to enter the barracks. I'm afraid the young lady will have to go there to measure her body tomorrow. Besides, if I don't see her appearance with my own eyes, I'm afraid I won't be able to make suitable clothes for her."
"Tomorrow..." Shen Zhaojun thought for a moment and said, "I have to go survey the water tomorrow, so I won't have time to accompany Huang'er to the garment workshop.
"If sister-in-law doesn't have time, why not leave Huang'er to me?" Chu Yi's voice came, and he said with a smile: "Guangrun Mansion... I know it better than you do."
