Chapter 998: I am already 8 years old...

Half a month later, Yun Zheng led the personal guards back to Shuofang.

It was winter, and he didn't ask anyone to notify the people in the palace in advance.

They were almost at the palace when Shen Luoyan and the others received the news and hurried over to greet them.

Yun Zheng and Miao Yin smiled helplessly and quickly rode forward.

"Quick, call father."

Seeing this, Shen Luoyan immediately spoke to Yun Cang who was in her arms.

However, Yun Cang did not shout, but just stretched out his chubby little hand and pointed at Yun Zheng and Miao Yin's war horses, "Horse, horse..."

"..."

Shen Luoyan was speechless.

It’s not like this kid hasn’t seen a war horse before.

It's just a war horse, why get excited?

Could it be that this child is born to be a warrior like his father?

Shen Luoyan was lost in thought and said to Yun Cang again: "Call me father quickly..."

"Father, Father..."

It was not until Yun Zheng and Miao Yin approached that Yun Cang finally called out in a baby voice.

Hearing Yun Cang's call, Yun Zheng was delighted and quickly got off the horse. He looked at Yun Cang with surprise and asked, "Cang'er can call me father now?"

"Isn't it?"

Shen Luoyan pursed her lips and smiled, "Just after the New Year, Cang'er can call me mother. After teaching me for a while, he can call me father."

"Well, my son is so smart!"

Yun Zheng laughed, hugged Yun Cang and kissed him, then took Yun Jin from Ye Zi and kissed him hard as well.

Seeing Yun Zheng like this, Ye Zi couldn't help but smile, "Okay, it's so cold outside, let's go back to the palace first!"

As she said that, Ye Zi was about to take Yun Jin from Yun Zheng again.

Yun Zheng shook his head to indicate that it was not necessary. He held one in each hand and followed the crowd towards the palace.

However, Yun Cang was a little shy. After not seeing Yun Zheng for a while, he was not very close to him and insisted on being hugged by Shen Luoyan, which made Yun Zheng say that he didn't love him anymore.

Yun Jin, on the other hand, was not shy at all. She was amused by Yun Zheng and kept laughing along the way, which made Yun Zheng feel particularly good.

This girl really deserves the title of Princess Changle.

"By the way, what's the situation in the Northwest Protectorate?"

While teasing Yun Jin, Yun Zheng also asked Ye Zi.

Ye Zi smiled helplessly, "Let's talk about it later!"

Got it!

As soon as I heard Ye Zi's words, I knew that the situation in the Northwest Protectorate was not good.

I guess a lot of people froze to death or starved to death?

Although this result was already within their expectations, Yun Zheng still sighed silently in his heart.

It’s all because of food shortage!

However, there is nothing we can do about it.

Just carry it!

If we can make it through to this year's autumn harvest, we will basically have made it through.

Ye Zi showed Yun Zheng a helpless smile and said, "By the way, Dugu Ce wrote that Xiqu State Master Su Zan has led a delegation on the way to Shuofang. I wanted to send someone to inform you, but I received a military report from the front saying that you have already returned. I estimated that you would come back first, so I didn't send anyone to make another trip..."

"Su Zan deceived the king before, how dare he come?"

Yun Zheng was slightly surprised, "This Su Zan is quite a character!"

"Who says it's not?"

Ye Zi sighed: "They acted really fast. Before we could react, they unified all the tribes in Moxi..."

Yun Zheng nodded with deep approval.

When it comes to unifying the tribes west of the desert, the Western Qiang did a great job.

Even though he had sent Eighteen Ghost Riders to infiltrate the tribes in western Mobei to find out the purpose of the Western Qiang, he did not receive any advance news.

It can be seen how much preparation Sanjay and Suzan have made for this matter.

However, although Xiqu has established its country, the matter is not over yet!

The competition between them has just begun!

He would not feel at ease unless he caused some trouble for Xiqu.

It’s good that Suzan is here!

Xiqu has thrown dirty water on him, so it's a good opportunity to ask them for some benefits!

After returning to the palace, Yun Cang ran away with Qi Yan and Shen Nianci.

Yun Cang can now trot around on the ground, and can easily catch chickens and chase dogs. He has officially become a naughty child.

Shen Luoyan and Ye Zi helped Yun Zheng and Miaoyin take off their armor, and asked Xin Sheng to instruct the servants in the mansion to boil water for them to bathe.

In this cold winter, it’s obvious that they haven’t washed properly.

Only after taking a hot bath and changing into clean and warm clothes can you feel like you are truly home.

Yun Zheng originally wanted to take a bath with Miaoyin, but was rejected by Miaoyin.

How could Miaoyin not know Yun Zheng’s character!

Taking a bath with Yun Zheng, I am bound to be tormented by this guy.

They were exhausted after rushing all the way back, and she was afraid that Yun Zheng might have hurt himself.

There is still a long way to go!

Yun Zheng had no choice but to bathe himself.

Lying in the bathtub, every pore of Yun Zheng's body felt refreshed.

It’s still more comfortable at home!

I hope everyone will not cause trouble, and just develop peacefully for a few years!

Since arriving in Shuobei until now, most of the time has been spent fighting.

Now, it's time to calm down and enjoy yourself.

"Squeak..."

At this time, the door was pushed open.

Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile wickedly when he heard the voice.

Is it Shen Luoyan or Ye Zi?

Under Yun Zheng's expectant gaze, Xin Sheng walked out from behind the screen holding a basin of hot water.

I rely on!

Yun Zheng subconsciously covered his vital parts.

But when I looked at the bubbles in the bathtub, I felt they were too unnecessary.

"why you?"

Yun Zheng let go of his hands and tried to give a natural smile.

Xin Sheng's face flushed red, and she answered in a whisper: "Madam Zi asked me to bring some hot water to Your Highness, and then serve Your Highness...bathing and changing clothes..."

When he spoke the latter part, Xin Sheng's voice became almost inaudible.

Even though she was the head maid in the palace, when Yun Zheng was at the mansion, she was almost Yun Zheng's personal maid, but this was the first time she helped Yun Zheng take a bath.

It’s not because she didn’t want to, but because Yun Zheng never asked for it.

Hearing Xin Sheng's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

Is Ye Zi trying to match me up with Xin Sheng?

Or was she afraid that she wouldn't be able to fight in the future, and would just torment the three of them at home all day long, and she was afraid that they wouldn't be able to handle it, so she brought someone in ahead of time to help them share the firepower?

Yun Zheng thought a little bit smugly, then smiled and said: "The water in this tub is still hot, please help me rub my back first!"

whatever!

This isn't modern times!

It was also because he didn't like having others serve him for everything, otherwise the maids in this mansion would have seen him naked long ago.

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Xin Sheng was delighted. She quickly put down the wooden basin in her hand, rolled up her sleeves, walked behind Yun Zheng, and said with a blushing face, "Can I help His Highness wash his hair first?"

"it is good!"

Yun Zheng smiled and asked, "How old are you this year?"

Xin Sheng bit her thin lips lightly, her voice soft and sticky, "I am already eighteen years old..."

eighteen?

Yun Zheng smiled to himself.

When this girl was bought into the house by me, she still looked a little childish.

In the blink of an eye, she is already eighteen years old!

Even in modern times, this would be considered a grown-up girl!
