Chapter 533 Return ()

This handsome young man with an injured left arm is the princess's fiancé, Changning Earl Cui Du.

Cui Du was stabbed in the left arm, but there were no injuries to his tendons and bones, only some superficial injuries. After more than ten days of recuperation, his condition has improved significantly.

Upon learning that the princess had returned to Nanyang County, Cui Du, who was recovering from his injuries in the palace, could not hold back and insisted on going with her to greet her. Chen Changshi did not stop him.

A group of people rode up on horseback, with the princess leading the way with a heroic look. Cui Du stared at the girl riding on horseback without blinking, feeling excited and happy.

He couldn't help himself, took a few steps forward, and waved his intact right hand: "Princess! I'm here!"

Jiang Shaohua jumped off his horse and walked over quickly. Cui Du was a little shy and a little expectant, and stretched out his right hand to hold the princess's hand.

Unexpectedly, after their fingertips touched, the princess's left hand exerted a little force, and he took a step forward involuntarily, just in time to hug the princess in his arms.

Cui Du paused for a moment.

Jiang Shaohua rode for several days and traveled at full speed. The smell of sweat penetrated into Cui Du's nostrils, and the smell was not very pleasant. But the girl in his arms was very soft, and she clung to him tightly...

Cui Du's handsome face turned red.

The officials in the palace looked at each other and then looked away tacitly.

Jiang Shaohua hugged Cui Du tightly, and let go after a moment, then took a step back and looked at him carefully.

Cui Du coughed hard, trying to make his voice sound calmer. "The assassin wounded me with a sword that day. It was just a superficial wound. I have been recovering for more than half a month and it is almost healed. Princess, you don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to rush back just for me."

Jiang Shaohua stared at him and said softly, "I really can't rest assured unless I see you with my own eyes."

The most touching love words in the world are actually the simplest.

Cui Du felt hot behind his ears and even hotter in his heart. He stopped being pretentious and whispered, "I am very happy that the princess came back for me."

Jiang Shaohua pursed his lips and smiled for the first time in days: "No matter how good the capital is, it is not my home. I have been here for two months, and I have had enough. I will never go there again."

Cui Du smiled casually and said, "You can't say that casually. Maybe in three or five months, you will have to go to the capital again."

Jiang Shaohua smiled and reached out to touch Cui Du's face, just like he had done in his dream, casually and intimately: "Anyway, I'm glad you're okay."

After confirming that Cui Du was not seriously injured, Jiang Shaohua felt relieved, and the princess's majesty and demeanor immediately returned.

She walked up to Chen Changshi and the others and said, "During this period of time, I have troubled Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi to take care of the affairs of the palace. And you all, you have also worked hard."

All the officials bowed their hands together and said, "It is our duty to share the princess' worries. We respectfully welcome her back."

This place belongs to her.

All the people in front of her are her trusted confidants, willing to die for her.

Jiang Shaohua smiled brightly: "Let's go back to the palace. This princess will host a banquet tonight, and we will drink and get drunk together."

……

That evening, the Nanyang Palace indeed held a welcoming banquet.

The officials of the palace gathered, including Chen Changshi and others, and Song Yuan, Qin Zhan, Meng Dashan and Liu Hengchang. There were two seats in total, and people sat down according to their official positions.

Cui Du sat next to Jiang Shaohua. At another table, Ma Dianshan shamelessly sat next to his fiancée Chen Jinyu.

The two had not seen each other for several months, and when they met again, they had no time to exchange private words! When they sat together, they could not help but whisper, "You look thinner."

"The food in the capital is different from that in Nanyang County. I am not used to it. I am busy with the princess every day and I don't have time to eat and sleep well. Isn't that why I lose weight?"

"After you come back, eat and drink well and take good care of yourself. The wedding dress is made according to your previous body shape. You can try it on when you have time. If it doesn't fit, you have to modify it."

Chen Jinyu responded sweetly, her beautiful eyes looking around with a radiant glow.

Their wedding date was set for the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month. Calculating the time, in about a month, they would be married.

The two of them could not be by the princess' side at the same time, so they would inevitably be separated. However, this was the price they had to pay to become husband and wife.

On this side, Jiang Shaohua and Cui Du, the engaged couple, looked completely different.

Cui Du's left arm could not move, and his right hand was busy like a bee, constantly picking up food for the princess. Jiang Shaohua listened to Chen Changshi and others talking while habitually picking up food and eating it. After a moment, he reacted: "Cui Du, you are still injured, just take care of yourself, don't be busy taking care of me."

Cui Du responded and continued to pick up food.

Jiang Shaohua laughed in silence. Seeing that his eyes and eyebrows were full of energy and he didn't look tired or weak at all, he just let him be.

After the banquet, Jiang Shaohua asked the two chief secretaries to talk. The other officials left one by one, and Cui Du waited outside the study with a thick face.

As the princess's attendant, Chen Jinyu was naturally waiting outside the study. Ma Yaozong had long since quit his job as the princess's attendant, but he couldn't leave his fiancée, so he shamelessly stayed.

In the study, the princess and the chief secretaries were discussing important matters. In the small hall outside the study, three young men were drinking tea, eating snacks and chatting, looking quite comfortable.

"How is Cui Wang now?" Chen Jinyu asked.

Cui Du sighed, "My cousin blocked a sword for me that day and bled a lot. Fortunately, Doctor Sun arrived in time, and together with Sun Guangbai and his sister, we rescued my cousin's life from the hands of the King of Hell."

"I've been nursing him for more than half a month and he's almost recovered. My cousin's injuries are much more serious. Doctor Sun said he needs at least half a year to recover."

"He is still unable to get off the bed, let alone move. He has been recuperating at the farm. Doctor Sun has also been staying at the farm to treat his injuries."

Chen Jinyu couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, God has a good eye. If Cui Wang had any misfortune, even the princess would have a hard time explaining to the Cui family of Boling."

It would be a waste of time for a young man from a noble family to come to Nanyang County to work for a career, but lose his life there.

Cui Du was in a heavy mood and whispered, "Bo Ling Cui family also sent people to visit and take care of my cousin."

Ma Yaozong coughed softly and said, "It is a blessing that Cui Wang's life can be saved. With the princess' temper, she will never treat him badly in the future."

In the study, Jiang Shaohua said, "Cui Wang was seriously injured while saving Cui Du. This life-saving grace will be accepted on behalf of Cui Du."

"Let Cui Wang recover from his injuries first. When he recovers next year, I will give him a proper job."

Chen Changshi nodded in agreement.

Feng Changshi said, "My lord, the assassins are dead, and the two accomplices who assisted the assassins have also been dealt with. However, this incident should also serve as a warning to us. Nanyang County is too rich now, and there are many people secretly jealous, and they may resort to some despicable means. We must be extra careful."
