   Chapter 438 Return to Beijing (2)

   Empress Dowager Zhao quickly walked out of Shouning Palace and greeted her all the way.

The moment    saw the figure of Emperor Yongjia, Empress Dowager Zhao's eyes were red, and tears had already rushed out. She couldn't see anyone else in her eyes, so she rushed in front of Emperor Yongjia and hugged her son: "You are finally back!"

   At this moment of reunion after a long absence, my mood is surging and agitated, and I don't care about the palace rules and etiquette.

  Emperor Yongjia stretched out his arms to hug Empress Dowager Zhao, and saw the silky white hair on his mother's head at a glance, sourness poured into his nose: "The son's unfilial piety will make the mother worry every day and give birth to Huafa early."

   Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't speak, she hugged her son and cried.

   Not to mention Concubine Meng, Concubine Qin and others, even Empress Qiao couldn't squeeze past her, so she could only silently watch her long-lost husband.

   The eldest prince and concubine rushed in front of the eldest prince, and before she could cry, she was hugged by the eldest prince. The husband and wife were full of thoughts, each feeling sentimental, holding their heads and weeping.

   Meng Yunluo burst into tears and rushed to the third prince Li Hao.

   She originally wanted to rush into her husband's arms. But Li Hao didn't mean to hug her and cry, and he didn't look excited or missed, and he was quite calm and restrained: "I left Beijing on an expedition for more than two years, and I wasn't around when you gave birth, and I still have to work for you to take care of your mother. Concubine and fifth brother, thank you for your hard work."

   It fell down like a basin of cold water.

   Meng Yunluo looked at Li Hao in disbelief. His calm, against the background of her crying and weeping, she looks like a fool.

   Does he miss her at all?

   At this time, how could he be so calm and calm?

   His eyes even passed her wife and quickly glanced behind her. This glance made Meng Yunluo's heart drop to the bottom in an instant.

   Behind her is Lu Mingyu.

  Her husband, who has been away for more than two years before returning, is not the one who cares most about her, not her daughter, but Lu Mingyu.

   Unprecedented jealousy and hatred burned and stirred in Meng Yunluo's heart. Soon, that flame turned into a cold smile.

  Li Hao, when you know that Lu Mingyu killed your own mother, will you still look at her like this?

   I waited for that moment. Waiting to see your heartbreak and anger turn love into hate!

  Lu Mingyu also raised his eyes at this moment, but it happened to be right with Li Hao.

  The baptism on the battlefield for more than two years has tempered Li Hao's chilling aura, and his black eyes are like a deep pool. It also merged with the man in her memory who became the Prince of Wei and then sat on the dragon chair to rule the world.

  Li Hao will soon know that Concubine Su died in her hands.

   At that time, how angry and painful will Li Hao be?

  Thinking about such a scene, Lu Mingyu felt the blood rushing very smoothly. She raised the corner of her mouth uncontrollably, and a splendid smile bloomed on her lips.

  Li Hao caught that smile, and his heart beat fiercely.

   Then, Li Jing stepped forward with a smile and held Lu Mingyu's hand, naturally blocking Li Jing's sight: "Where are the children?"

   Amid the loud cries, Lu Mingyu's chuckle and whispers were exceptionally clear: "They're all playing in the Shouning Palace!"

   Li Jing laughed in a low voice: "I'm going to urge the emperor's grandmother and father to cry. If they want to cry, they will cry after entering the Shouning Palace."

  Lu Mingyu smiled and hummed.

   Li Jing turned around, cleared his throat and said, "Don't cry, the grandmother, the return of the emperor after a great victory is a great joy for the whole world to celebrate. Let's go to the Shouning Palace!"

   Empress Dowager Zhao cried so hard that she couldn't stop for a while. However, he listened to Li Jing's words. While crying, he dragged Emperor Yongjia into Shouning Palace.

  …

   After entering Shouning Palace, Emperor Yongjia helped Empress Dowager Zhao sit on the phoenix chair, then knelt down and kowtowed three times.

   Empress Dowager Zhao cried until her voice was hoarse: "Stop kowtow, get up quickly, sit down and talk again."

  Emperor Yongjia got up and sat beside Empress Zhao.

   Empress Dowager Zhao wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and looked at Emperor Yongjia a few times. After a closer look, she couldn't help crying again: "Look at you, how black and thin you are!"

Emperor Yongjia had calmed down, and smiled to appease the Queen Mother Zhao: "I travel far away and live in a military camp all day, either marching or fighting, and there is no time for peace and stability. The wind and the sun are more common, and the darker ones are also thinner. Inevitably."

   Fighting outside, how can it be compared with the life in the palace.

   Empress Dowager Zhao cried for a while, and then went to see the first prince and the third prince: "The first prince has also lost weight, and the third prince has lost a lot of weight. However, it's good to come back safely."

  The eldest prince and the third prince came over and knelt down together and kowtowed to the Queen Mother Zhao.

  Under the eyes of the public, Li Hao walked steadily, the eldest prince walked, but his right leg was dragging, and he was obviously lame. And Li Hao formed a strong contrast.

   Concubine Meng looked at her eyes, the circles of her eyes were red, and tears fell down.

   The first prince concubine's nose was full of sourness, but she was prepared in her heart and was much calmer than Concubine Meng. He turned his head to one side for a moment, and when he turned around again, he had regained his composure.

  No matter what, he finally came back alive.

   The eldest prince and the third prince kowtowed and stood up.

   Empress Dowager Zhao cried for a while, and her mood calmed down a little. She opened her mouth and asked Emperor Yongjia: "You don't need to lead troops to fight in the future!"

Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows and smiled, his tone full of pride and self-satisfaction: "Yan and Chu have both been defeated, and the Great Wei has been surrendered. The four seas are pacified, and all are the territory of our Great Wei. Occasionally, there will be civil unrest, let the generals lead the troops, Or the princes can go to pacify. I, the emperor, don't need to go out again."

   Empress Dowager Zhao listened comfortably, and said: "Okay, okay, the emperor will stay in the palace from now on, and take good care of the world."

   Queen Qiao, who had never made a sound, said warmly, "My concubine congratulates the emperor on her immortal career."

   Emperor Yongjia only had time to watch Queen Qiao at this time, and his voice was extraordinarily gentle: "I have been away for more than two years, and everything in the palace is supported by the Queen. The Queen has worked hard."

Queen Qiao smiled and sighed: "My concubine is cowardly and useless, and I dare not be praised by the emperor. Since the news of the prince's injury spread to the palace, the concubine has fallen ill. Thanks to the concubine, the concubine has stabilized the harem. The slaughter of the common people was also caused by the Crown Princess leading troops out of the city and attacking the barracks at night to assassinate General Yan. Only then did General Liang conquer the Yan army barracks in one fell swoop."

   "The real hero is the crown prince. If the emperor wants to reward him, he should also reward the Lu family."

   opened his mouth and asked for credit for his daughter-in-law.

  Emperor Yongjia looked at Lu Mingyu, and his eyes were full of rewards: "Lu's meritorious deeds, I want a generous reward."

  The eyes of everyone also looked over.

Under everyone's attention, Lu Mingyu looked calm and bowed calmly: "My daughter-in-law is the prince concubine of Wei, and she does what she should. Settling down, there are soldiers who have made military exploits to reward. The trivial things that my daughter-in-law did are not worth mentioning."
