The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Ye Chuji cheered him up, and Ye Lanfeng put aside his fear of them and gave them seats.

These people have made such great contributions, and in order to maintain his reputation as a "wise ruler", the emperor has to reward them according to their merits.

"My dear ministers, if you return victorious, I will certainly reward you."

He looked at Hua Rongyu:

"General Hua, you returned victorious last time, and I bestowed upon you the title of General Dingguo. Now that you have defeated the Northern Kingdom as the commander of the Hua Family Army, I will bestow upon you the title of Duke Dingguo. What do you think?"

Hua Rongyu: "Your Majesty, I thank you."

After Hua Rongyu, Ye Lanfeng appointed Hua Wujing as the right general, the second rank.

"Hua Zhukong, now that you have handed over all the Hua family troops to Duke Dingguo, I will not increase your official rank, but will grant you ten thousand taels of gold and ten thousand acres of fertile land."

Although he said that there would be no increase in official rank, in fact, Hua Zhukong, as a founding general and General Rongwei, was on equal footing with the prime minister.

The official rank has already reached the highest level possible.

After the three generations of the Hua family had been rewarded according to their merits, only Ye Buhuo was left.

The emperor was in a dilemma. As Prince An, Ye Buhuo was naturally a high-ranking official. However, if he was treated with gold, silver and jewels as he had treated Hua Zhukong, it would easily cause dissatisfaction among the people.

After all, Hua Zhukong himself stepped down from the position of head coach, which means he resigned and returned home to enjoy his retirement.

Ye Lanfeng threw this difficult problem to Ye Buhuo.

"Eighth brother, I have given you so much that I can't give you any more. Why don't you tell me if there is anything you want?"

This is a good opportunity to see if Ye Buhuo will open his mouth wide and expose his "wolf ambition"!

Now everyone in the palace is his people. If he says anything treasonous, he will take this opportunity to kill him!

It is justified and will not be despised by the world.

Ye Lanfeng stared at him intently, his hands tightly gripping the dragon throne beneath him.

Ye Buhuo smiled faintly and said:

"I have an unwelcome request."

Ye Lanfeng narrowed his eyes unconsciously, his voice became less than usual, and the whole hall was filled with a sense of fear.

"tell me the story."

Several ministers who were only there to make matters look present dared not even breathe a word, for they were afraid that Ye Buhuo would say something that would offend the emperor's majesty, and they would be buried with him.

Ye Buhuo, who was at the center of the storm, seemed to be unaware of anything and was calm about what he was thinking.

After hearing clearly the reward Ye Buhuo wanted, Hua Zhukong and Hua Rongyu couldn't help but give Ye Buhuo a look.

Hua Wujing looked at him with somewhat surprised eyes slightly wide open, and after coming to his senses, his thoughts became somewhat complicated.

He sighed silently in his heart, I can't keep it, I can't keep it~

Although it was a sigh, there was also a hint of relief in it.

Compared to the surprise of the three members of the Hua family, Ye Lanfeng appeared much calmer.

"Have you made up your mind, Eighth Brother?"

"I have made up my mind."

Seeing Ye Buhuo was so sure, Ye Lanfeng had nothing to say and agreed immediately.

By the time Hua Zhukong and others returned to the general's mansion, it was already night.

However, the lights in the general's mansion were on. Knowing that the head of the family and the master of the main house were about to return, everyone was alert and waiting.

Now that the old lady had a grandson, she couldn't wait to have Hua Zhukong recognize Kuo'er, so she arrived at the gate early to wait.

The old lady held Kuo'er's left hand, and Sun Ruhui supported her right hand.

He caught a glimpse of Hua Wu Ke, who arrived much later than him. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to scold him.

But thinking of Ye Buhuo's warnings last night, she didn't say anything in the end.

The old lady didn't say anything, but Hua Jingqian took the initiative to speak.

Because Hua Wu Ke no longer allowed himself to be manipulated by him as before, and he secretly went to Beimo Pass to secretly block Ye Chuji's grand plan, causing him to be angered by the Crown Prince.

As a result, he has not been reused by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time.

So when Hua Wuke returned home yesterday, Hua Jingqian didn't even send anyone to greet him, completely pretending that this niece didn't exist.

But today the master and the eldest brother are coming back, Hua Jingqian put on the mask of charity again:

"Sui Sui, you must have been very tired after running around yesterday. Second uncle didn't want to disturb your rest, so he didn't go to see you."

"Sui Sui, please don't blame your second uncle for not caring about you."

When Hua Wu Ke heard Hua Jing Qian talking, she didn't even glance at him, and just stared out the door calmly:

"Wuke dare not trouble Second Uncle to worry about you."

This ungrateful girl!

Cursing in his heart, he still maintained a charitable smile on his face.

But the smile was a little twisted. Sun Ruhui took a look at Hua Jingqian's ugly forced smile, and she felt happy.

Ever since Hua Wu Ke left home, Hua Jingqian has become more and more unscrupulous, as if he had become the master of the general's mansion.

With Luluo speaking in soft Wu dialect beside him and Kuoer sitting on his lap and enjoying his company, he was simply very happy.

Thinking of her dead Yue'er and seeing Hua Jingqian living so comfortably, she felt hatred in her heart.

Now that the eldest wife's family is back, let's see how long Hua Jingqian can remain complacent. Sun Ruhui sneered in her heart.

Soon, everyone heard the sound of car wheels passing through the street.

Not long after, three carriages were seen breaking through the darkness and heading towards the gate of the general's mansion.

Hua Wu Ke recognized at a glance that the carriage at the front was not his grandfather's, but the carriage of Prince An's Mansion.

It turned out that after Ye Buhuo left the palace, he did not return to Prince An's Mansion but came to the General's Mansion with Hua Rongyu and others. When Hua Wujing first heard that Ye Buhuo was going to come to the General's Mansion with them, his first reaction was that this dog prince was going to pester Sui Sui again.

Hua Wujing wanted to say a few words to tease him, but before he could utter a word, he remembered what had just happened in the palace. In the end, he shut his mouth silently and tacitly agreed for him to go with him.

The old lady had something on her mind and had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Seeing several people getting off the carriage, he didn't care that Ye Buhuo had just given him face yesterday, and he saluted Ye Buhuo properly as if nothing had happened, and then called out expectantly: "Master."

Sun Ruhui and Hua Jingqian behind him also paid their respects to their father and elder brother.

Standing behind Sun Ruhui and his wife were Hua Fuying and her daughter and Qingluo, because Hua Wuke had already told Hua Zhukong all the details of Hua Fuyue's death when they were at Beimo Pass.

So now he was furious when he looked at the second house, and he could only barely suppress his anger when he saw Sun Ruhui, who was obviously much weaker.

He nodded to Sun Ruhui as a response, and then without even a glance at the rest of the people, he walked straight into the mansion.

Looking at Hua Rongyu and his son following Hua Zhukong closely on the left and right, Ye Buhuo was also standing by and supporting Hua Wuke from time to time, looking like a loving father and a filial son, and they were treating each other with respect.

The old lady's mouth twitched and her expression almost couldn't hold back.

But when he thought about Kuo'er's entry into the family tree, he still endured it and pretended to be gentle and generous and followed him.

On the other side, Hua Jingqian looked as submissive as ever, but his slightly lowered face flickered in the night, making his submissive expression look a little distorted.
