Chapter 575: The Eve of the War

Zhao Ziheng bent her eyes and giggled, then returned to her innocent and romantic relationship, saying, "You are not allowed to cheat."

As he was talking, An Ning, Zhen Zhen, Zhou Ruo and others came over there. Chen Ao saw it and immediately became alert. He flirted with others at home, as if he was a little guilty.

Zhao Ziheng glanced at Chen Ao, then smacked her tongue, with a crimson and stimulating blush on her face. She stood at a loss in her heart. She wanted to leave, but she was afraid that she would be seen through. She stayed here and didn't know what to do?

An Ning and others came over in lotus steps. When they saw Chen Ao, they suddenly came back. They were all surprised. They thought Chen Ao would have to arrive in a few days, but they didn't expect that they would be so early. This time they went to Quanzhou for half a year. Although they had letters to convey their feelings, they still missed each other. When they saw their husbands coming back from Quanzhou, they could not hide their joy.

An Ning was the most excited. She was newlywed, but Chen Ao was busy with official duties. Why didn’t she both complain and annoy her? She was usually just a vague complaint. When she saw Chen Ao, everything disappeared and left with the wind.

Zhenzhen's face was flushed and her eyebrows were affectionate. Zhou Ruo said in a low voice, but her lotus feet were unconsciously approaching, with a faint expectation in her heart; Tang Mo'er's face was the most dull, but her heart was already overturned; Chun'er was also fast-moving.

When they got closer to Chen Aojin, they saw Chen Ao with his hands in his arms and said to Zhao Ziheng with a straight face: "You are not the fault of a godfather. You are so young, you don't learn to learn to use a girl's red, do embroidery, and read the Four Women's Books. You are so casual all day long. Now, you actually learned to steal paintings. This is how your father taught you? Is the King of Jin so unemployed?"

Zhao Ziheng said timidly: "Yes, yes, it's all my father's fault, my father deserves to die."

Chen Ao continued, "When you say this, I remembered that your father is King of Jin. King of Jin is really bad. He can watch women take a bath and robbers and steal. How can a person like him teach a good daughter? Alas... it's really an injustice..." After that, he looked at Zhao Ziheng sympathetically.

Zhao Ziheng was about to ask the chicken to peck at the rice field and nodded and said yes, it was my father's fault, and suddenly raised his eyes: "Isn't my father so bad?"

Chen Ao sternly said: "There are all worse than this, and his absurd words and deeds are beyond words."

Zhao Ziheng argued: "It's not all, and he's not very bad either."

Chen Ao was tired of arguing, so he had to say, "In short, don't imitate your father in the future. You must be a lady from a family. I'll let you go this time. Go away quickly and don't let me see you again."

Zhao Ziheng left with a whisper, and said in the end: "I don't want to see you either. We will never talk to each other in the future." As he said that, he blinked at Chen Ao and ran away.

An Ning came over and An Ning said, "What's wrong? Why did it suddenly start to quarrel?"

Chen Ao snorted coldly, and Zhuang Su said extremely: "Such a young girl dares to make trouble like this and sneak a picture to me. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, so I didn't let her succeed. Now I think about it, I'm really scared." After that, I gave the painting back to An Ning: "This is the painting I made for you. You must keep it carefully, so that you can't take advantage of it in the future."

An Ning took the painting, was surprised, then looked as usual, but a hint of warmth appeared in her heart. No wonder her husband was so angry. This painting was made by him. He carefully put it in and asked someone to reframe it. Then he said gently: "You should be happy when you come back, so don't be angry. Ziheng is still young, why are you angry with her?"

The family returned to the back garden in a harmonious manner. Chen Ao gave a meal and had a nap. After a while, he suggested that everyone go out for a walk together. After a walk, it was dark. At night, Chen Ao went to Anning Room to sleep, and warmed up. He carefully raised her jaw and looked directly at the pair of bright and resentful eyes. He said a lot of love under the oil lamp.

An Ning just smiled and said, "You said so much, don't you just want me to forgive you?" Then she said, "How could I not understand, you are a man, how can a man be idle at home forever? Is a real man determined to be in the world?"

Chen Ao said: "Actually, I really want to stay at home. It's best not to go out. I don't have the intention to stay in the world. I just want to do some things. When these things are done, I will be with you at home every day."

The two hugged each other on the couch, looking at the green gauze tent on the top, and they spoke in words. An Ning pressed his ears against Shen Ao's chest, listening to his heartbeat, while saying stinging: "Are you having an affair with Ziheng?"

Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, and immediately became excited: "I am a disciple of a saint, I read the classics of a saint, I learned etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and doing upright things. How could it be... How could it be..." The words in the end became lower and lower, and I admitted ashamed: "It seems that there is a little bit."

An Ning listened to Chen Ao's heartbeat, raised her face and star-like eyes staring at him: "I knew that your heartbeat was beating very fast just now." After that, she turned her back to Chen Ao.

Chen Ao immediately hugged her from behind, without arguing anything.

After being silent for a long time, An Ning suddenly said, "Why do men have to enjoy the beauty of the world to rest?"

This sentence was abruptly, and Chen Ao immediately remembered An Ning's background. Based on what she saw and heard, whether it was her father or uncle, which one was not a three wife or four concubine? In her opinion, these should be taken for granted.

Chen Ao said, "I don't know. Actually, I am kind-hearted and loyal to my wife. However, I am too clear. I don't look for beauty, but beauty always comes. What's this called? I'm really angry."

An Ning suddenly turned around, shaved hard on Shen Ao's nose, and laughed, "I don't know how to be ashamed."

After saying that, he crawled into Chen Ao's arms like a warm kitten.

……………………………………………………

After resting at home for two days, my life was very comfortable. There were many guests who came to visit me, and all the doormen were blocked. On the third morning, Chen Ao was woken up early, put on his court clothes and went out.

The official family has returned to the palace and hid for more than a month. Since Chen Ao has returned, it is reasonable for the court to discuss it. Early in the morning, ministers from all departments of the three provinces also arrived. The prince also changed into new court robes today, and there were also foreign envoys. It is said that he had entered the palace early and waited in the Wu'an Palace.

When you arrive in front of Zhengde Gate, there will definitely be a group of ministers in three or five whispering. Those ministers with high identities will not participate. Some are still waiting in the sedan chair, and some are not coming so quickly.

The atmosphere today is different from the past. Many people glanced at Chen Ao, and their eyes were just flashing, and they refused to laugh. Then they continued to whisper to others, as if they had endless things to say.

Chen Ao got off the horse, stood outside, yawned, and ate slowly with the pastry he brought from home.

Others only come for food at home, and some eat in sedan chairs. Only this Shen Ao, chewing in this forbidden garden, becomes a unique scene again.

There are more and more rumors in the outside world, and even those who have not participated in today's events are also careful. Before the victory or defeat is decided, let's take a look at the direction of the wind.

According to common sense, the court agreed that the prince also had an identity to attend. This is called obedience to politics, which roughly means an internship. However, the prince in the current dynasty was not awkward or embarrassed, and the prince could not even live in the Eastern Palace. Usually, the court discussed that he was sick and did not come most of the time. This is the prince who swore to the palace an attitude, which was the so-called "dare to listen to politics".

But today, the prince Zhao Heng came not too late. He stood without waves on his face and didn't talk much to anyone. But when Chen Ao came, he glanced at Chen Ao and smiled slightly.

Zhao Heng ignored the others. But when he stopped here, many ministers were bound to think of many rumors in the capital, and even more so that today they would definitely make a city full of storms.

Strangely, Cai Jing was the first to come in the past, but at this time, he had not seen the sedan chair in the Cai Mansion. Everyone was confused for a moment, but a record from the branch office revealed the answer. Last night, Cai Jing suddenly fell ill and asked his family to take leave overnight, so the court could not come.

Quartz and Zhou Zheng came over together and got out of the sedan chair. The two of them searched the crowd for a while and immediately found Chen Ao. They walked over together. Chen Ao was holding a food box and stuffing candied cakes into their mouths. When they saw the two, they immediately set off their hands to salute, and said, "Don't Jun Gong and Lord Taishan try the candied cakes made by the people in the city? Although it was the first time they made them, they tasted very delicious!"

Quartz immediately acted like a rejection: "No need."

Zhou Zheng, although he was full, heard that it was made by Chen Ao's inner man. There was also his precious daughter in this inner man. He thought to himself, Ruoer had not tasted her cooking skills for her father, so he wanted to try it today. After all, he was a family. He took a piece of pastry and took a small stutter. He couldn't help but say, "It tastes good, but it's too tired."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "They said that they would cook a table of wine and food after having nothing to do in a few days. They would definitely invite Taishan and his mother-in-law to come over to eat." After that, he said, "The Duke and the wife of the County must come, too, because they are afraid that the dishes they cook will not suit your taste."

Quartz smiled calmly: "Okay, it will definitely come."

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "You still remember these things. How do you plan to get through today's events?"

I understand this meaning so clearly. I will tell you this kid directly. Don’t tell me. You don’t know anything. The prince is coming today to fight with you. It is said that last night, someone had already gone to look for the foreign envoys. If you really want to attack, the foreign envoys, plus half of the ministers in the court, and the prince, are very powerful.

Chen Ao took out a handkerchief to wipe off the greasyness on his hands and smiled lightly: "When the son-in-law got up this morning, he saw the crow on the branches. It was very unlucky and was in a very good mood. Someone came to ask for trouble for the son-in-law. That would be great. One head would come to clean up the other."

This sentence is so arrogant. When the minister next to him heard it, his face changed and immediately walked away as if he was hiding from the plague.

Quartz sighed, "You, you are so young and energetic."

Zhou Zheng also frowned: "Chen Ao, don't act irritably!"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Don't worry, the son-in-law has made arrangements."
