   Chapter 437 Return to Beijing (1)

  In March, the flowers are red and the grass is green, the warblers are singing, and the spring is in harmony.

  The emperor returned to Beijing after a great victory.

  The hundreds of thousands of troops traveled long distances and spent the night repairing outside the city gate. This morning, they put on their polished armor and rode on horses. Seen from a distance, the darkness is overwhelming, revealing a suffocating chill.

  Emperor Yongjia also wore armor and rode a BMW. Behind him are the eldest prince and the third prince on horses. The King of Xingyang, the Marquis of Guangping, and the Marquis of Puyang followed closely behind.

   Prince Li Jing led the civil and military officials and went out of the city to meet him.

   "My son leads hundreds of officials, and welcomes the return of the emperor's great victory." Li Jing bowed and saluted.

   A group of civil and military officials bowed their hands together, and their voices were like a bell: "Congratulations to the emperor's victory and return to Beijing!"

  Emperor Yongjia fought abroad for two years. He became a lot darker and thinner. His face was full of beards, his eyes were bright, and the prestige of the emperor was better than before.

   "The prince got up, all the Aiqings got up." Emperor Yongjia's eyes were like electricity, and he swept over quickly. Being swept by those sharp eyes, everyone's heart trembled.

  Li Jing smiled again and surrendered to the eldest prince and the third prince: "The eldest brother and the third brother fought hard with the father and the emperor all the way."

   The eldest prince and the third prince returned the salute together, and looked at each other quickly.

  The two-year campaign left a lingering mark on everyone's face. Prince Li Jing, with the calmness and brilliance of a prince, is even better than before. The eldest prince, who suffered from leg problems, lost a lot of weight, and there was always a haze between his eyebrows and eyes.

   The biggest change is undoubtedly the third prince Li Hao.

   Li Hao, who has reached the age of weakness, has a tall stature and firm eyes, like an unsheathed sword, with a dazzling expression.

   Li Jing's eyes met Li Hao in the air, and in an instant, it was like lightning and thunder. Soon, they each withdrew their gazes as if nothing had happened.

   The eldest prince had a panoramic view of this scene, and his heart became more and more resentful.

  The prince and the third prince regarded each other as their biggest opponents, and no one put him in the eyes of the big brother at all.

  The fourth prince came over and shouted affectionately: "Big brother, I haven't seen you for two years, I have been thinking about big brother in my heart."

   The eldest prince glanced at the enthusiastic fourth prince, and replied lukewarmly, "I have the fourth brother Lao to miss."

snort! The prince was injured, and Baba ran to the military camp to take care of the prince. Then he went back to Beijing to rescue him with the prince. From start to finish, I didn't even think about going to see his injured big brother.

   Shit brotherhood.

  The eldest prince slapped his face coldly, and the fourth prince didn't want to use his hot face to stick to other people's cold buttocks, so he quickly shut up.

  Emperor Yongjia glanced over the faces of everyone, and said loudly: "All Aiqings follow me into the city gate!"

   Everyone responded together and moved away. Emperor Yongjia took the reins and rode into the city gate first. The soldiers guarding the city gate had already knelt on the ground. Countless people crowded their probes and were stopped by the soldiers on both sides. I don't know who shouted "Long live the emperor" first, and everyone followed.

   Long live the Emperor!

   Shouting into the sky!

  Emperor Yongjia, who was riding on the BMW, raised the corner of his mouth and showed a cheerful smile.

  The army and horses spent half their lives, established a new dynasty, conquered Yan and Chu, unified the Central Plains, and established immortal achievements. At this moment, he deserves all the praise and reverence.

  …

   In the harem, it was also boiling.

  Emperor Yongjia is finally back.

   Everyone gathered in Shouning Palace, surrounded by Empress Dowager Zhao, all smiling and flattering. Empress Dowager Zhao's laughter was the loudest.

   She wasn't the best, and she wasn't a smart person either. But she gave birth to a good son and became an honorable Empress Dowager Wei. Being a mother and relying on your own son is a proud and honorable thing.

   "When will the emperor enter the palace?" In just an hour, the Queen Mother Zhao had already asked the eighth time.

  The radiant Queen Qiao replied with a smile: "The prince leads the officials to greet the emperor. Calculate the time and enter the palace gate before noon. The mother doesn't have to worry, she can always see the emperor today."

"How can Aijia not be in a hurry." Empress Dowager Zhao sighed with a smile: "The emperor has been away for more than two years, and the Aijia is thinking about it every day, lest there is something wrong. Now that the emperor is back safely, the Aijia can't wait. See the emperor immediately."

   Concubine Qin took over the words with a smile: "When the emperor returns to the palace, the first thing he must do is to visit the empress dowager. Empress dowager waits to see the emperor in earnest!"

  The son of the expedition to fight, isn't the first thing he does when he comes back is to see his mother?

   Therefore, everyone in the palace came to Shouning Palace, so that they could see the emperor earlier.

   Concubine Meng had no intention of speaking and looked out from time to time. It seems that the next moment, Emperor Yongjia and the first prince and his son will appear at the door.

  Wang Jieyu almost never opened her mouth to speak on such occasions. She hugged the little princess and gently stroked her daughter's soft hair.

   After her daughter was born, she never saw her father.

  I just look forward to the little peace she gave birth to after the emperor comes back.

   Several princes and concubines also entered the palace today. Lu Mingyu and Zhao Yu were the most calm, but the First Prince and Meng Yunluo were very excited. The husband and wife have been apart for more than two years. Who doesn't miss them?

   The taste of waiting is the most torment.

   On weekdays, half a day passed in a flash. Today was very slow.

  The children were originally held in their arms, but after a while they couldn't stand it anymore and made a scene. Meng Yunluo didn't want to let Sister Zhen play, so she hugged her tightly in her arms.

   Sister Zhen looked at the cousins ​​and sisters playing, her heart was about to fly, she kept shaking her arms in front of her, and prayed: "I'm going to play too."

   Meng Yunluo frowned and whispered, "You are not as strong as others, what should you do if you go and get bullied? You are not allowed to go!"

   Sister Zhen refused to follow her, and she was about to cry with her flat mouth.

   Zhao Yu couldn't stand it any longer, and opened her mouth and said, "The child wants to play in one place, just let Sister Zhen go. Remember that little thing a few months ago! Your heart is really not much bigger than the tip of a needle."

   Wasn't it just pushed by Sister Xuan once? The children were fighting, and they made up as soon as they turned their heads. It's ridiculous that adults are still worried.

  Meng Yunluo couldn't hold back her face and glared at Zhao Yu.

   Zhao Yu was not afraid of her, so she waved to Sister Zhen: "Sister Zhen, come here, and the fourth aunt will take you there."

   Sister Zhen was very happy, struggled from her mother's arms to the ground, and quickly rushed into the arms of the fourth aunt. Zhao Yu smiled and hugged Sister Zhen to play.

   Meng Yunluo couldn't call the person back, so she snorted again in anger.

  Lu Mingyu glanced over.

   Meng Yunluo immediately stiffened her face and turned to one side.

  Lu Mingyu didn't bother to talk to her either, and turned to talk to the eldest prince.

   After waiting for more than an hour, finally a maid hurriedly came to report: "Report to the Empress Dowager, the emperor led the princes into the palace gate and has come to Shouning Palace."

   Everyone rejoiced.

   Empress Dowager Zhao suddenly got up and walked out, walking like flying. Queen Joe almost couldn't catch up. The concubines and princes and concubines stood up and greeted each other.
