Chapter 457 - The fourth
King K Palace, Teng Palace.
At the beginning of spring every year, when winter passes and spring arrives, the generals who were originally stationed on the border will choose two days to enter the palace to report their duties.
From the beginning of the first month, the attendants in the palace began to welcome the frequent entering the palace.
As the king, Yin Sa also started the work of meeting his subordinates at the flowing water banquet. All the generals sorted out all the problems in the border troops and presented them to the king.
After Yin Sa’s approval, the general was able to leave the royal city.
Of course, if it is an army with no problems at the border, the general does not need to enter the royal city to meet the king, and all questions can be delivered in the form of documents.
In the morning, a special guest entered the palace. He was wearing a military uniform and not many medals on his shoulders, but he was still full of energy.
The people who followed him stopped at the gate of the palace and watched the man enter the palace.
This palace is very close to the sacrificial platform and is said to be the place where Prince Pei, a relative of the royal family, lives in the palace.
He quickly saw the man sitting in the pavilion along the stone pavement in the yard. Prince Pei’s iconic short gray and curly hair could be distinguished at a glance.
Now the old man is sitting in the middle of the pavilion, holding a pen in his hand and writing something on the paper with his head down.
“Father.”
He stepped forward and called out.
Prince Pei stopped writing, put the pen down and looked at the man standing in front of him.
“Go to see Your Majesty?”
Lu Zhizhou nodded, “Your Majesty is meeting with members, let me come over to see you first.”
Prince Pei looked at the son in the military uniform in front of him now. If it were a year ago, he would not even dare to imagine that the rebellious and rebellious son would do the same.
“Sit down.” Prince Pei said.
Lu Zhizhou raised his hand, took off his hat, and sat cross-legged opposite Prince Pei. His back was straight and his sitting posture was extraordinarily upright.
Seeing his serious appearance, Prince Pei couldn’t help laughing.
“It seems that letting you go to the battlefield is the right choice. I can still see you like this in my lifetime.”
Lu Zhizhou is the son of Prince Pei, and it is an idle job for Prince Pei to inherit the title, but according to the rules of the K royal family, the children of the royal family can choose to join the army or politics, starting from a middle position and climbing up step by step.
Lu Zhizhou made a choice, this is a completely different path from his father.
“Are you still copying scriptures?” Lu Zhizhou looked at the two thick stacks of paper on his desk.
“Now that’s all we can do. Praying for the dead in the war is the only thing I can do now.”
From the day Hattas passed away, Prince Pei began to copy the documents, praying for the deceased Hattas and saving the dead warriors.
“Are you still used to it on the border?” Prince Pei looked at his dark but robust son.
Lu Zhizhou nodded, “It’s been half a year, of course I’m used to it.”
It takes a lot of time for people who have been pampered since childhood to adapt to such an environment.
But no matter how difficult the environment is, he is used to it now. Now he can face the mosquitoes all over the sky without changing his face, and he is also used to the days of rolling in the soil.
Seeing him like this, Prince Pei’s eyes were full of relief, and he raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
“This is very good, men should be like this, and you have now found the direction you want to work towards.”
Compared with the stinky boy who used to be confused, I really don’t know how much better.
“You haven’t had any news in the past six months. Your mother often remembers that she will stay for a few more days when you come back this time, and accompany her well.”
Lu Zhizhou nodded. He originally planned to go home and live for a few days after the debriefing. Prince Pei now lives in the palace from time to time, and his mother is the only one left at home.
The father and son were not too affectionate at first, and after just a few simple chats, Prince Pei opened his mouth to chase people away.
“Don’t delay too long, go see Your Majesty.”
Lu Zhizhou got up, put on his hat with one hand and walked out of the pavilion with steady steps.
The attendant who came back with the hot tea glanced at the man’s back.
“Don’t Mr. Xia have a cup of tea?” The attendant said, and put the brewed tea in Prince Pei’s hand, “This is the tea that Mr. Xia likes.”
Some time ago, Mr. Xia has been drinking this tea since he came back.
Prince Pei glanced at the teapot beside him, chuckled and shook his head, “This kid never likes drinking tea. You watched him grow up, and of course you know his favorite flavor in the past.”
Having said that, the old servant really remembered.
In this way, Mr. Xia has never liked drinking tea before, and most of them are coffee.
“But when he just came back a few days ago, he liked to drink tea, and most of them were of this type.”
Knowing that Mr. Xia would come back, he specially arranged for someone to go out of the palace to buy it.
Prince Pei held the brush and continued to copy the scriptures, as if he was not distracted, “The person in his heart just likes this kind of tea.”
If it wasn’t for that girl, he wouldn’t have completely subverted his preferences.
Thinking of this, Prince Pei also brought some pity. If there were not many changes, they might really be destined children.
It’s a pity that he was a step too late after all, and there was no possibility.
“Mr. Xia is really handsome in this military uniform.”
Prince Pei wrote on the paper, and the black ink was smudged. He hooked the tip of the pen, “Putting on that dress means that you will dedicate your life to the country in this life, not just being handsome.”
Now, he should already know the weight of the clothes.
At noon, when the sun was at its best, Yin Sa instructed the attendant to place the lunch at the back of the council hall.
When Lu Zhizhou arrived, Yin Sa was already sitting at the table.
He stepped forward and saluted, “Your Majesty.”
Yin Sa handed the document in his hand to Dong Qing who was beside him, and looked at the man in a straight military uniform standing in front of him.
When he just came back from Intercontinental, he still had a flamboyant look with short grape purple hair, which was completely different from what he looks like now.
“Sit down.” Yin Sa pointed to the opposite seat.
Lu Zhizhou sat down obediently, sitting upright without the slightest slack.
“Are you okay?” Yin Sa arranged the napkin and put it on his lap.
Lu Zhizhou nodded and handed the incoming document to the attendant, “The border is very stable, and the military exercises that are carried out on time every month are also recorded one by one, please check.”
Yin Sa raised his eyebrows, but did not reach out to touch the document presented by the attendant.
“I’m not asking about the situation at the border, I’m asking you.” Yin Sa looked at the person in front of him and said word by word, “How are you doing?”
Lu Zhizhou looked at Yin Sa and nodded lightly, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Now I have seen something different from before, and I am fine.”
After returning from the intercontinental battlefield, Lu Zhizhou took the initiative to ask Ying to be stationed in the frontier as a royal family, and the chosen place was also the most difficult and dangerous.
They have known each other for many years, and when Xia left country K, she also said goodbye to Yin Sa.
At that time, there was a light of chasing freedom in his eyes, but now it is not bad. There is no more confusion in his eyes, but more determination.
“In the past, you loved freedom the most, otherwise you would not have fled the royal family and fled to other countries. Now, many people would never have imagined that you would change so much.”
When Lu Zhizhou asked to go to the border, Yin Sa himself was surprised for a long time.
But seeing his firm expression, Yin Sa agreed with a stroke of his pen.
“We can’t decide what we’re born with, but what we’ve been carrying from birth has always been there, and what should I do for this country growing up here.”
He can pursue freedom, but he cannot escape the responsibility he should take.
“It’s not bad that you can have a good experience at the border. At least with you, I can rest assured.”
The rebellious young man he saw was finally mature and grown up.
“By the way, it was sent three days ago.” Yin Sa said and handed over the invitation card with hot gold lines.
Lu Zhizhou took it over and glanced at it. There was a man and a woman carved with gold foil paper on the bottom of the front, and they looked familiar.
After opening it, the names of the bride and groom on it surprised him for a while.
“I remember that she was Wen Li’s friend, married to the Xi family in the imperial capital.”
There was a smile on Lu Zhizhou’s mouth. After he went to the border, he cut off contact with most people, and Su Jingjing was also among them.
I didn’t expect her to get married so soon.
“You haven’t seen each other for more than half a year. It’s time to take a look and bring me a gift by the way.”
Lu Zhizhou put away the invitation, “Let’s talk about it.”
It turned out that Su Jingjing married Xi Moran in the end.
He suddenly thought of the very enchanting and charming woman the first time he saw Su Jingjing beside Wen Li.
At that time, she didn’t look like she was going to get married.
Yin Sa stared at him for a while, then suddenly said, “I had doubts in my heart but didn’t ask you. I’ve always heard Wen Li call you Lu Zhizhou. What kind of statement is that?”
It seems that he has never heard Wen Li call Taxia.
Lu Zhizhou took a sip from the wine glass, disapprovingly, “A random name doesn’t mean much.”
Seeing that he didn’t want to say more, Yin Sa naturally didn’t ask more.
When leaving the palace, Lu Zhizhou sat in the back seat of the car, looking at the invitation in his hand.
If it was Su Jingjing’s wedding, she would definitely be there too. After the intercontinental war ended, they had no contact anymore.
All lives have returned to peace, which is the best outcome.
“Sir, the command sent a contact asking when will you return?”
Lu Zhizhou put away the invitation, “Three days later.”
“Yes.” The lieutenant nodded.
According to the plan, the military exercise will begin immediately after the husband returns. For a week, they will all stay in the mountains.
The road connecting the palace entrance is the first place where the sun shines at sunrise in the entire palace, and it is naturally the last place where the sun dissipates at sunset.
The sunlight coming in from the car window shone on Lu Zhizhou’s left shoulder, and the metal medal on his shoulder was shining brightly.
As the sun dazzled his eyes, he thought of the past.
“Why is it called this name…”
Lu Zhizhou murmured, and he suddenly smiled, with relief in his smile.
Guan Guan Jujiu, in Hezhizhou, a slender lady and a gentleman.
This was the only verse he could understand, and he had asked her with questions. After getting an explanation, he named himself this name.
He knew that she could understand, but she just didn’t speak.
Now that she has someone around her who can take care of her and love her, and that person is more suitable than him, that’s enough.
