Wei and Jin cooks

Princess Hongnong and Fu Xuan lived in a two-bay house on Chengxi Street. The house was low and a little cramped. Their coachman, guards and maids were all crowded together. The couple lived on the second side of the house. In the room, the main room in the middle is reserved as a reception hall.

Zhao Xin was led all the way through the courtyard to the main room. Although the things he saw on the way were neatly arranged, the courtyard was narrow and cramped, leaving only enough space for the two of them to walk through.

If you are not careful on the road, you may bump your head or elbow.

Xin Zhao has learned in the past few days that before his arrival, Princess Hongnong and the others were not restricted in their travels. In addition to not being able to leave the city, they could walk around the city at will, communicate with officials of Chengguo, and even communicate with them through them. Contact Fu Zhi in Yongzhou.

It wasn't until Zhao Xin arrived that their family was put under guard. There were government officials and soldiers outside, who delivered vegetables, fish and meat every day, and no one or news was allowed to go out.

Xin Zhao thought as he walked that, in comparison, his arrival might not be a good thing for them.

I don’t know if the princess and the consort want to return to Luoyang...

Zhao Xin stepped into the main room and looked up to see a middle-aged handsome man and a beautiful woman sitting at the top. He immediately calmed down and stepped forward to salute respectfully.

A clear voice sounded, "No courtesy."

Princess Hongnong looked serious. After looking at Xin Zhao carefully, she asked, "How is your majesty?"

Xin Zhao was stunned for a moment and then replied: "Your Majesty is well."

Princess Hongnong asked again: "How are you doing, Mr. San?"

Where is the San Gong now? Zhao Hanzhang took the lead alone, but Zhao Xin still smiled and replied: "Everyone in the court is fine."

Princess Hongnong's face softened, and then she asked: "I wonder how Chang'an is?"

Xin Zhao: "Chang'an is very good."

If Chang'an is good, Fu Zhi is good. The expression on Princess Hongnong's face became better and she asked: "Why did the envoy come to Shu?"

Zhao Xin had been waiting for her to ask Fu Tinghan, but he didn't wait until she asked. He was a little surprised, but his face remained calm, and his voice changed and he said: "I have been ordered by Your Majesty to come back to the court with the princess and the consort."

Princess Hongnong was startled. She thought she was sent by Fu Changrong, but she didn't expect it was the young emperor.

She was the daughter of Emperor Hui, so she and the young emperor were cousins. They were not closely related to each other in the Jin family. She didn't think that the young emperor would send someone to pick her up just because she was her cousin. Calculating, she had never seen her. What about the child?

She was already in Chang'an when he was born, and has been trapped in Chang'an ever since.

She couldn't help but look at Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan glanced at Minister Cheng Guo standing aside and asked directly: "Did King Li Cheng agree?"

The corner of Zhao Xin's lips curled up slightly, and he bowed and replied: "Don't worry, consort, I will try my best to mediate, and the princess' consort will return to the court."

Everyone said something in front of Minister Cheng Guo. Zhao Xin made sure that they were doing well and were not being embarrassed, so he stood up and left.

Fu Xuan lifted his robe and stood up, gently nodded and said, "I'll see the envoy off."

Xin Zhao bowed and stood aside to wait.

Fu Xuan paused for a moment when passing by him, and then slowed down. The two of them walked out one after another. Because of the limited space on the road, Cheng Guo's minister lagged behind.

They didn't know how to walk, but the servants of the princess's house who were leading them got in between them, leaving Minister Cheng Guo behind for a long distance.

When he reacted and wanted to overtake the servants and catch up, a servant walking in front showed him that he stumbled with his left foot and his right foot, and fell towards him with a snap...

When he pushed the person away angrily and looked up, Fu Xuan and Zhao Xin had already turned around, without even leaving a trace of their backs for him.

The minister hurriedly chased after him.

Fu Xuan sent Zhao Xin to the front yard. He glanced at the Chengguo soldiers guarding the door and asked, "Is Chang Rong okay?"

Xin Zhao quickly said seriously: "Don't worry, Prince Consort, Mr. Fu and the general have a very close relationship. Everything is fine."

Fu Xuan smiled softly, "That's good."

He paused and then said softly: "Please also ask the envoy to tell him that we are living a good life in Shu and there is no need to force anything. Parents are just a journey in his life. There is a time when we meet, but there is also a time when it ends. So don’t be too stubborn.”

He turned to face Zhao Xin, ignoring his stunned look, and said directly: "He has to walk the road to the future by himself, and he has to bear the good or bad by himself. I can't help him, and he doesn't have to help me, so the matter of taking us back to Luoyang has become a success. If it works, that’s fine if it doesn’t work, there’s no need to go to war over it.”

Xin Zhao was shocked until he returned to the inn. Fu Xuan's remarks broke his long-held understanding.

Can parents and children... have such a comfortable and free relationship?

When parents are in trouble, shouldn't children try to save their parents even if they die?

When their children are in trouble, shouldn't parents worry and think of ways to solve it for them?

But Fu Xuan said that they were just a journey in Fu Tinghan's life. It would end and he could miss him, but he didn't need to get too entangled, let alone look back.

Zhao Xin sat in deep thought for a long time. After Changsui came up to change the water, he came back to his senses. He said deeply: "If I go back and tell my father that his journey has ended with me, he should not appear in my life anymore." If you interfere in my affairs, what do you think my father will do?"

Chang Sui thought about it seriously and then said: "Master Lang will probably break Lang Jun's legs, so that Lang Jun's journey will end, and he can only stay on Master Lang's journey, right?"

Xin Zhao shuddered and quickly threw away the thought that had just arisen from his mind. Forget it, how could he expect his father to have the consciousness of a prince-in-law?

At this moment, Zhao Xin felt jealous of Fu Tinghan.

Fu Tinghan has Zhao Hanzhang as his fiancée, but he is not jealous of him;

But Fu Tinghan had a father like Fu Xuan, and he was jealous of him.

but……

Thinking of Princess Hongnong's indifference, Zhao Xin couldn't help but sigh, "Every family has a difficult book to recite. Ting Han is so good, but there are also difficulties."

Chang Sui was curious, "What is Mr. Fu's trouble?"

Xin Zhao waved his hand and said: "Nothing, just get ready, we will go out for breakfast tomorrow."

He had to send the contents of today's negotiation back to Luoyang. Zhao Xin also guessed that the reason why Cheng Guo was willing to take a step back was probably the three counties south of Guanghan.

If they had to fight it off on their own, they didn't know how long it would take. If the remaining forces remaining in the three counties had the support of Zhao Hanzhang, it would be even more difficult for Cheng Guo to unify these places.

But similarly, it would be difficult for Zhao Hanzhang to rule those three counties beyond Chengguo.

Zhao Xin secretly wanted to agree to Chengguo, but this matter was important and he had to ask Zhao Hanzhang. Moreover, the Jin officials there did not know whether they would listen to Zhao Hanzhang's orders at this time.

Luoyang received the news and the matter was placed in front of the civil and military ministers.

Zhao Shen, who had just returned from Liang County, only took one look and said: "If the general wants to take charge of the three counties, he must either pass through Guanghan or cross the natural dangers. But the natural dangers are difficult, and the army may lose 20 to 30% on the road."
