Quick Transmigration: The Divine-Looking Host is Always Pampered by a Powerful Boss
Chapter 74 The Emperor and the General Remove Their Battle Robes
Chu Zhuo had a meal with the general's family. Just as he was about to go to bed that night, a servant came to knock on the door.
"Young master, Madam is asking if you have rested."
Chu Zhuo put on her clothes and went to see Madam Chi: "Mother wanted to see me?"
Madam Chi responded with an "Eh," holding a light blue straight-collared, double-breasted long gown in her hands: "Try this gown that your mother made for you. The inner garment and lining are still there. If it's too big or too small, I'll alter it if anything doesn't fit."
"Mother's craftsmanship is superb, the size will definitely be perfect." Chu Zhuo flattered, bent down and rubbed against Madam Chi's shoulder, "Now I have a mother to make clothes for me. When I go back to the military camp, I'll see if they still say that I only know how to buy ready-made clothes and only ask the embroiderers in the tailor shop to make clothes. Mother's stitches are so fine and tight, they will be so envious."
Madam Chi gently stroked his head with a loving expression: "Alright, you're such a grown man, why are you still acting like a child? Your father was about your age when you were born. Go change your clothes."
Chu Zhuo picked up her clothes and went back to her room, where she changed into a light blue long robe. The robe was flowing, loose-fitting, and had a comfortable collar that fit her perfectly.
He pushed open the door and went out, turning around in front of Madam Chi: "Perfect, I knew Mother's cooking was extraordinary."
Madam Chi straightened his collar for him: "Not bad, my son looks good in anything."
"Mother, go to sleep now." Chu Zhuo smiled slightly, her eyes filled with warmth.
After breakfast the next day, Chu Zhuo went to the kitchen and took out peach petals to make peach blossom cakes.
The kitchen staff were terrified. At first, they tried to dissuade him by saying that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but Chu Zhuo said, "I'm cooking for my mother and grandparents out of filial piety. Besides, 'a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen' doesn't mean staying away from the kitchen altogether, but rather that a gentleman cannot bear to see killing..."
Finally, Chu Zhuo introduced himself with conviction: "I am His Majesty's personally appointed bodyguard, and a general in the army. I am a military officer, not a gentleman."
The kitchen staff listened with great interest, but were eventually brought to a burst of laughter by the young master's "self-deprecation."
When the peach blossom cakes were served, Madam Chi and Madam Chi were pleasantly surprised and ate a few pieces.
When it was General Chi's turn, he said with disdain, "I don't like this kind of sweet and cloying food. Take it away."
Chu Zhu blinked her big eyes: "Grandfather."
Just as Madam Chi was about to give him a slap, General Chi coughed dramatically and said, "It's not impossible to give it a try."
Chu Zhu laughed loudly, crossed his index finger and thumb, and pinched a heart shape with his fingers towards Old Madam Chi.
Not understanding why, Madam Chi imitated the shape and made one herself.
The two days at the General's Mansion passed quickly, and Chu Zhuo returned to his daily routine as a personal bodyguard.
Summer is drawing to a close, but the lingering heat of the sun should not be underestimated.
When Yan Jiheng returned from court, he took the cold melon from the boy's hand, touched it, and said helplessly, "It really is cold. Don't eat too much cold food in the morning, it will hurt your spleen and stomach."
Chu Zhuo reached out and snatched it: "I'm in good health. It's so hot in the summer and you won't let me eat. Yan Jiheng, don't take away my only happiness."
"I've eaten half, that's enough. There's breakfast later. If I just eat cold melon to fill my stomach, I won't be able to eat breakfast." Yan Jiheng's attitude was firm.
Chu Zhu asked, "What's for breakfast today? I want crystal glutinous rice balls, and I want them to be cool."
Yan Jiheng promised, "Yes, as long as you want to eat it."
Chu Zhuo immediately stopped grabbing, but then saw Yan Jiheng pick up the remaining half of the melon and start eating it.
"Oh, I see. So it was His Majesty who wanted to eat it." Chu Zhuo misinterpreted.
Yan Jiheng looked at him as if he knew him inside and out: "If I don't eat it now, Zhuobao will come back after breakfast. It's already been cut, so it would be a waste not to eat it."
Chuzhuo: "..."
After enjoying the crystal glutinous rice balls he had been longing for for breakfast, Chu Zhuo went to the martial arts field to lead his troops.
His duties are no longer limited to being Yan Jiheng's personal bodyguard; he now needs to spend half an hour each morning training troops.
Upon entering the training ground, the soldiers were all invigorated when they saw the young general.
"Young General, we really didn't quite understand the move you demonstrated before you left yesterday. Will you teach us today?"
"General Chi is amazing! I spent all night trying to figure out how you executed that move so smoothly."
"You're not being silly. General Chi is protected by a divine bird, so he's naturally extraordinary."
Chu Zhuo disassembled the slow motion and showed it to them one by one.
He swiftly threw a punch, creating a gust of wind.
The body bends and rotates, performing a double-leg side kick, landing and diving while simultaneously sweeping back with one leg...
After finishing a series of moves, Chu Zhuo brushed the dust off his palms: "Did you see that clearly? Before I teach you all, who can try it?"
The tall soldier stepped forward eagerly. Regardless of skill or standard, his overall resemblance was about 80%. Chu Zhuo clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, he has potential."
After saying that, he raised his voice: "Everyone, follow me. If you don't understand something, stop and call me. Don't pretend you know what you don't. I'll be checking at the end. If you don't pass, you'll have to do double the horse stance tomorrow."
The soldiers perked up and carefully observed the young general's teaching steps.
Half the time had passed, and everyone was finding the learning process extremely difficult.
After a few days, one of the soldiers was able to smoothly complete a whole set of moves and found that his body had become much lighter.
The man explained the changes, and Chu Zhuo smiled, "Not bad, you've grasped the essence. This set of moves can not only kill enemies, but also strengthen the body. If you practice it well, the experience gained each time you use it is invaluable."
The crowd cheered.
Yan Jiheng walked into the training ground and saw the boy being watched. He was overwhelmed with warmth.
Someone at the door announced, "His Majesty has arrived."
The training ground was instantly filled with people kneeling down.
Yan Jiheng raised his hand, and the soldiers stood up in unison.
Chu Zhu ran over to Yan Jiheng: "Yan Jiheng, what brings you here?"
Yan Jiheng waited until he stopped breathing slightly, then took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat: "I didn't have much official business today, so I came to see our little General Chi."
"These people are very smart. They learned it in no time. Yan Jiheng, where did you recruit them from?" Chu Zhuo felt a sense of excitement about successfully passing on his knowledge and skills.
Yan Jiheng: "Each member of the Golden Dragon Guard has one recommendation opportunity. If the person they recommend passes the test and is retained, they will receive an extra day off each month."
Chuzhuo: "..."
What a good leader! He knows how to use holidays to win people's hearts.
"Training is almost over. I'll go call everyone and wait for me to come back," Chu Zhuo said as she turned around.
Yan Jiheng gazed at him tenderly, and then the boy ran back to him.
"Yan Jiheng, let me accompany you for a stroll." Chu Zhuo offered his hand.
Yan Jiheng grasped the boy's delicate, jade-like hand.
After a period of leisure, with all matters concerning the Xia family settled, Yan Jiheng reflected that it seemed he hadn't taken Zhuobao out of the palace for quite some time.
With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, Yan Jiheng asked, "The capital holds a Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival every year. Would Zhuobao like to go see it?"
Chu Zhuo replied without hesitation, "Of course I want to watch! It's more fun with more people!"
Yan Jiheng nodded and said, "Come with me to the Imperial Wardrobe later to have my measurements taken and have an outfit made for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Chu Zhuo had no objections. The female official directed the entire process, instructing him to raise his hands, straighten his chest, and expand his shoulders... An idea came to him along the way.
So these past few days, Yan Jiheng noticed that the young man acted mysteriously every time he returned to his room, and occasionally even left the palace without his knowledge, as if he were hiding a big secret.
