When the father and son met, Chongzhen looked at his son in front of him and could hardly believe his eyes. Zhu Cilang, who was before, was only a 14 or 15-year-old child. Now Zhu Cilang is eighteen years old. He is half a head taller than Emperor Chongzhen and has a slender figure. His skin is a little darker, which is because of the wind and sunshine all year round.

The most important point is that Zhu Cilang is a little thin. He has no choice but to lead his troops to fight and sleep in the open, and he cannot match the life of a pampering life in the capital.

"Emperor~she..." Emperor Chongzhen was trembling with his hands and looked at his son, and couldn't help but feel excited.

That's right, Chongzhen was an emperor, but also a father. Perhaps Chongzhen had not become a good emperor, but he could definitely be regarded as a good father.

Although there was a gap between them, father and son for the imperial power. In the end, blood was thicker than water. Now, seeing his son coming back, how could Chongzhen be unhappy?

Zhu Cilang was also excited, so he stepped forward and bowed: "Father, my son is back."

Chongzhen helped his son up with tears in his eyes: "Son of the emperor, let me take a good look at you and take a good look at you. Alas, I've lost weight, I've lost weight."

Emperor Chongzhen was in tears. He didn't dare to think about how much hardship his son had suffered in the past few years. Whenever he thought about it, his heart felt as uncomfortable as a knife.

After all, it is his own son. No father can bear to watch his son suffer. He has no worries about food and clothing in the capital, and his son sacrifices his life to kill the enemy on the front line.

This moment is the real blood is thicker than water, this moment is the real family affection is greater than imperial power. No matter what the days will be like, no matter how the road ahead will be. At least, now they are the strong family affection between father and son.

The same goes for Zhu Cilang. He smiled slightly: "It's the son who is strong."

Chongzhen was immediately happy and patted his son on the shoulder: "Well, he is strong, and the emperor has grown up. But he is still too thin, just be fatter."

Zhu Cilang grew up, and Emperor Chongzhen no longer had to worry about his son as before. Before Zhu Cilang did things, Emperor Chongzhen was always worried. After all, his son was young, and now his son is still grown up, and the candidate for the Crown Princess has been selected.

Next, we should let our son get married as soon as possible. Then, we should continue the offspring for the royal family.

Zhu Cilang is indeed thin, not only because he is fighting outside. Instead, the soldiers of the 12th Regiment Battalion have always been together.

Even as the prince, Zhu Cilang still shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. He ate the same food, sweet potatoes, seedlings, and mixed grains.

Zhu Cilang, who is more unpalatable than this, has also eaten it. When the supply of food and grass is insufficient, the banana tree is peeled and the roots are soaked in salt water, wild vegetables are paste, and even dogtail grass.

That’s right, it’s dogtail grass. The millet we eat is cultivated by our ancestors from dogtail grass from generation to generation.

Porridge with porridge with dogtail seeds, it is easy to cause constipation if you eat too much. Zhu Cilang has eaten it, and his bark has also eaten wild vegetables.

Zhu Cilang naturally needs a lot of nutrition for an age when he is growing. However, in order to understand the physical strength of his soldiers and to truly make a promise to share the joys and sorrows, Zhu Cilang treats the same treatment as the soldiers of the 12th Regiment Battalion.

This is also one of the reasons why the soldiers of the 12th Regiment Battalion were willing to die and follow the prince to fight the enemy bravely. The head coach's personal charm can sometimes really affect an army.

Seeing this, some of the officials couldn't help but wipe their tears with their sleeves. Zhu Cilang's reputation was unprecedented, and the people in Beijing were also excited.

When the people heard the prince’s triumphant reign, they all cheered. Children sang nursery rhymes praising Zhu Cilang in the streets and alleys. The entire capital was almost as lively as the New Year.

The Forbidden City Imperial Palace, in Kunning Palace.

Although the Queen Zhou, the lord of the Six Palaces, was the queen of the mother's charity in the world, she still could not meet her son in an era when men were superior to women.

Only after Zhu Cixuan finishes his affairs outside the court can he return to the harem to meet him.

Therefore, Queen Zhou was particularly anxious. She had been waiting outside Kunning Palace for more than half an hour, and asked the people around her countless times: "Where is the prince, why haven't he come back yet?"

The eunuchs around him sent out batch after batch, and people kept reporting: "Report to the Empress, His Highness the Crown Prince is still in the outer palace to discuss matters with Long Live."

"Report to the Empress, the Crown Prince will not arrive at Kunning Palace later, so don't worry."

"Hurry up, go and have a look." Empress Zhou was anxious: "Wait, Prince, how is the prince's body?"

The eunuch hurriedly bowed: "Report to the empress, I just saw it from afar that the prince is tall and strong. The empress is in peace, and the prince comes to meet him after he has finished his government affairs."

"Mother, Mother!" But it was Princess Kunxing Zhu Mai, who walked towards Kunning Palace in a breeze.

However, Princess Kunxing brought someone with her, that is Xiao Shishi. As the final candidate for the Crown Princess, after all, Xiao Shishi's identity as the Crown Princess was not officially enthroned.

Xiao Shishi was even more tender. When she heard that Zhu Cilang returned to Beijing, her heart was already pounding. Princess Kunxing ignored her and brought Xiao Shishi back to the palace and led her to Kunning Palace.

"Empress Yi'an is here!" Soon, the phoenix of Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan also came to Kunning Palace.

Queen Zhou also hurriedly greeted her. Queen Yi'an smiled and said, "Empress, hasn't this child Cixuan entered the palace yet? I'm afraid you, a mother, will be very anxious."

Queen Zhou did not hide it: "What the emperor's sister-in-law said is that I feel like a cat's claw in my heart, and I wish I could go out of the palace and see my prince now."

"We are women, but our lives are not good. Why do we need to stay in this harem and let men show up outside?"

Empress Zhou was shocked. Empress Yi'an's words could be said to be rebellious. However, in order to meet Zhu Cilang earlier, Empress Yi'an was also anxious. As Zhu Cilang's aunt, Empress Yi'an loved him as much as her biological mother.

"The emperor is here, the prince is here!" At this moment, the voice of the eunuch Xuanzhi in front of him came over.

Everyone was overjoyed, and the prince finally came back. Princess Kunxing happily held Xiao Shishi's hand: "My brother is back, my brother is back!"

Xiao Shishi's heart was pounding, and Brother Zhu, whom he had been thinking about day and night, didn't know what he had become. Is he still the same as before, and is still the same for himself?

Is it true that I was chosen as the Crown Princess? Is it really what Brother Zhu meant?

No one could understand the girl's thoughts. In a blink of an eye, Emperor Chongzhen took Zhu Cilang and walked towards Kunning Palace.

"Mother, Mother!" Zhu Cilang shouted excitedly, ignoring the etiquette and rules in the palace, he ran over.
