Drunk House Chapter 733

Chapter 733 Excitement (first update)

The eldest princess Sheng'an looked at the old protector with curiosity, wondering if his injury was not healed, otherwise he would have returned home.

The old Protector held the old wife's hand and said, "You are not injured. I was not used to charge or fight on the battlefield. I was always in charge. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured twice, but he has recovered."

Princess Sheng'an breathed a sigh of relief and wondered, "I heard that Your Majesty led all the civil and military officials to pick him up at the city gate. Why are you back?"

The old Protector made a sound, "It's still early and I'm tired. Why should I go to the palace with Your Majesty so early? The person who has made the greatest contribution is His Highness the Crown Prince. I won't steal His Highness's limelight. Let's protect the country." The Duke's mansion is already impressive enough, so I'll come back first."

Princess Sheng'an thought about it. She didn't expect the person to come back so early, so she quickly smiled and took the person back to the house, and made all arrangements for people to fetch water for bathing and so on.

The Duke's wife came to the main courtyard with her sisters-in-law. No one was seen. Knowing that her father-in-law had gone to take a bath and change clothes, they all sat in the main room and waited. Soon the old Protector of the State cleaned up and came out. The people were all very nice, and I was very pleased. They said something nice, and also said thank you to Princess Sheng'an for your hard work.

Since the peace talks between the Wei and Daliang countries more than ten years ago, the old protector of the country has not been out of the capital very often. This time, it is the longest time he has been out of the capital, especially when the war with the Wei begins. Princess Sheng'an and the Duke Everyone in the mansion was waiting, but they were actually very worried.

Not only was he worried about the old Protector, he was also worried about a few boys in the Duke's mansion. After all, the adult men were all fighting outside.

Princess Sheng'an smiled and said, "It's good that you guys are safe. You men are fighting outside, and we women are worried every day and night."

Lao Guoguozheng said: "Now that the peace agreement has been re-signed, the Wei Dynasty has been severely weakened. There will be no more turmoil for at least ten years."

Princess Sheng'an likes peaceful days, "That's good."

Everyone gathered around the old Protector and talked for a while. Knowing that he was old and tired from the journey, they quickly stepped back and let him rest.

The old Protector lay back on the bed in the room. Princess Sheng'an sat on the edge of the bed with him. Seeing that he was not sleepy for a while, she said, "Go to sleep. There is still more than an hour before the palace banquet starts. I'll pinch it." Take advantage of the time and ask someone to remind you so that you won't miss the palace banquet."

The old protector of the country said: "I couldn't sleep. The prince took care of me on the way. I didn't hurry up and was not too tired. Don't underestimate my body and bones. I am still very strong. After this battle, I only fell ill once."

The eldest princess of Sheng'an also felt that this time was very peaceful and said to her: "I was worried to death. I thought you were an old man and led people to charge into the battle. Slight injuries are a trivial matter. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get back to you. This time How can I survive as a family? How can I survive?"

The old Protector held her hand, "Isn't this back? I haven't seen my grandsons get married one by one, how can I fall? Besides, I can't bear to leave you alone. What's more, This time we took the initiative to deal with the Wei Dynasty. Yuan Zhao was trapped in Nanchu and couldn't escape. There are a few idiots guarding the Wei Dynasty, but I can still deal with it."

Princess Sheng'an nodded and said to him: "I received a letter from Brother Gu a few days ago. He and Su Rong are getting married in a few months. Can we go to the ceremony?"

The old protector of the country said: "Go, I will go too."

"Huh?" Princess Sheng'an was shocked, "Are you going too?"

“What? Can't I go?” The old protector was dissatisfied. "Of course not, but can you walk away? There are so many things going on in the court..." The eldest princess of Sheng'an knew that although Daliang won, it took a lot of effort and all the food, grass and military pay were spent. , there are many things.

"When did the imperial court stop having too many things to do? The imperial affairs can never be finished." The old protector said: "If I were still in the imperial court, Your Majesty would no longer be able to seal the throne. I will take this opportunity to step down and Your Majesty, it would be better for you to give more rewards to the little boys below. No matter what rewards you give me, it will be useless."

Princess Sheng'an suddenly realized, "So you are considering this."

"That's not entirely true. I'm tired and want to retreat. I promised you before that I would take you out of the capital for a walk when my armor is removed. However, Your Majesty has been keeping an eye on the Protector's Palace for these years. I'm afraid that once I retreat, I will take you with me. When you leave the capital, Your Majesty can take the opportunity to annex the Duke Protector's Palace. If you don't dare, you can only follow the prince and keep a low profile and be cautious. In a blink of an eye, it has been so many years." The old Lord Protector said: "You don't want to go to Nanchu to see your grandson. Really? Let's go together.”

"If you say so, it's great." Princess Sheng'an was a little happy. "Does Your Majesty allow you to retire?"

"The prince has agreed, so it won't be a big problem for your majesty." The old protector of the country said: "Now your majesty should listen to the prince's opinion in everything."

The eldest princess Sheng'an was relieved when she heard this, "That's good, you and I, plus the eldest daughter-in-law, the three of us will go. Haosheng is ready to make arrangements, and then we will be together with the eldest lady of the Su family."

She was so excited that she couldn't sit still. "Oh, I really want to leave now. I miss my little grandson."

The old Protector didn't look at it, "Calm down, you have more than one grandson. You have been sitting here for a long time, and you haven't even asked a few other questions."

Princess Sheng'an rolled her eyes, "Have you not seen them all? They say they are fine, so why should I worry? When the situation in Nanchu was at its most severe, I heard that Brother Gu and Su Rong were both injured and almost My son lost his life. Every time he wrote back, was it to report good news instead of bad news, or I asked my eldest daughter-in-law to send someone to the Cui family in Qinghe to inquire about Cui Gong. Only then did I know that the news from the Cui family in Qinghe was that the two of them were almost killed. Someone dies."

The old protector of the country said: "I know this. When Zhou Gu wrote to the prince, he mentioned that Su Rong asked Ye Guixue to protect Zhou Gu when he left. That girl Su Rong left herself on the battlefield to wait. die."

The eldest princess of Sheng'an was moved in her heart, "Yes, this is it. I heard from the eldest daughter-in-law that the two young masters of the Cui family saw it with their own eyes. Hey, that girl Su Rong really makes people don't know what to say. Anyway, it's not in vain. Brother, I went to Nanchu for her."

She said: "When I go back, I plan to live in Nanchu for a year and a half, what do you think? The eldest daughter-in-law also means the same thing. She said that there is a second family in the Duke's mansion, and the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law can also take care of the matter. In fact, it is not too urgent to discuss marriage for the second and third children. You can wait for a year and a half. If they have something they like, just let their mother make the decision."

Since she is not the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, she does not need to be in charge of the family, and there is no need for the two of them to see her.

“Okay, you can stay as long as you like.” The old protector had no objection.

Princess Sheng'an smiled and said, "Then you can stay as long as you want. I have stayed in the capital all my life. I go out once when I am old, and I naturally want to come back to the fullest."

She didn't say she would never come back. After all, her roots were in Daliang.
