Li Ziwei accepted the imperial mission, received official duties at the government office, and took the official seal. He was confused for a while, then he shouted loudly and ran home.

When the widow learned that her son had become the prefect of Changjin City despite being a commoner, her first thought was that her son was deceiving her to make her happy.

Li Ziwei showed his mother the official seal and government office. Aunt Li was so happy that she and her mother made three rules for each other:

1. Don’t be greedy for a penny

2. Don’t do things that go against your conscience

3. Playing hard to make the country (state) strong

Yin Jinan arranged for Li Ziwei and went to Zhao Song's house to tell him that he was going back to the capital.

Zhao Song immediately asked: "What about the little girl?"

"Are you planning to go back with me? Or will someone from the palace come to pick you up?"

"Let's go back together?"

Zhao Song certainly hopes that it will be as quick as possible. If time is delayed, who knows what unexpected events may occur?

Yin Jinan nodded and said that he and his soldiers would return to the capital first, while Zhao Qiaoqiao and the wedding procession would walk slowly behind.

"Princess Longxiong saw Miss Zhao's collection of clay figurines in the mansion and couldn't stop thinking about them. I am willing to pay for them."

"Since the princess likes it, I will give it to you." He called Zhao Qiaoqiao and asked her to bring the box of clay figurines.

Zhao Qiaoqiao brought the clay figurine to Jiutian, and Crazy Chu took it and said, "Open your eyes, old man."

He looked at the clay figures carefully. Jiutian also became more careful and opened his third eye to look. There was nothing wrong with them. There was no taboo or dirt on these little clay figures.

Jiutian took the clay figurines and looked at them, and said, "Miss Zhao, these clay figurines are not the ones you gave me to play with that day. These are new ones."

Zhao Qiaoqiao said: "Princess, these are what I showed you that day."

"No." Jiu Tian said confidently, "Not those. Those little clay figurines are very old and still have a smell on them."

Zhao Qiaoqiao once again said that the princess must have made a mistake.

Yin Jin'an's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said, "Do you mean that the princess has wronged you?"

"That's not what I meant." Zhao Qiaoqiao took the opportunity to call herself a concubine.

"I haven't issued the imperial decree yet, so you are not my concubine yet." Yin Jinan's impoliteness made Zhao Qiaoqiao and Zhao Song feel a little embarrassed.

Jiu Tian pinched his little fingers and asked, "Where is your maid? Why is Cui Yu gone?"

"She was ill, and we didn't ask her to come because we were afraid that she would pass on her illness to the princess and His Majesty."

Zhao Qiaoqiao naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, because the one who donated blood was Cui Yu.

The group left Zejin City and met up with Gu Bahuang, and the army set out back to Beijing.

Zhao Song sent Zhao Qiaoqiao to the south of Heishui City and then came back. Zhao Qiaoqiao went to the capital with her dowry.

Yin Jinan hurried back to the capital. Whenever there was a city along the way, Gu Bahuang would have people ring the gong and shout: "Your Majesty has led the army in person and won a great victory. All the territory has been returned, and the Liao army and foreign invaders have been completely annihilated."

The people were all delighted and praised the Emperor as the invincible God of War.

Many provincial governors wanted to see the emperor, but Yin Jinan refused.

After more than ten days, I returned to the capital.

Yang Hanfeng had already gone to the palace to report to Xiahou Yan, who sent a guard of honor out of the city, and all civil and military officials went to the city gate to welcome His Majesty's triumphant return.

Citizens from all over the city came out, with gongs and drums beating and colorful flags waving. People ran along the streets to tell each other, and the whole Xingqing Prefecture was in an uproar.

Yin Jinan's carriage did not return to the palace directly, but went to the post station.

Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao have already received the news that Emperor Aotian has returned victoriously, and are also preparing for a meeting.

They have lived in Xingqing Mansion for more than half a month. Tomorrow is May 16th, Jiu Tian's birthday.

However, they did not expect that Yin Jinan did not return to the palace to rest, but came directly to the post station.

Go out and greet them immediately.

Yin Jinan was anxious, so when he arrived at the post station, he got off the phoenix carriage holding Jiuxia in his arms and strode towards the largest Yulong Pavilion.

At the entrance of Yulong Pavilion, Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao were already standing ready to greet them.

Standing next to them were ten-year-old Zhou Qiyuan and five-year-old Zhou Qize. The family of four stood in the center.

Next to him is Xie Yu, Xie Zhaozhao's elder brother.

Behind him, there stood a long line of people——

Stars in the south, dust in the north, moon in the east, setting in the west.

Li Yunmu, Zhou Lingyin, Ren Jialin, Xie Jue.

Chu Zhongtian, Wang Fen, Yunyang, Yunyuan, Yunyao, Yunxiao and Yunhe.

Yin Jinan felt his eyes getting hot.

In an instant, I returned to the former Daqian and saw the wild land. The sun slanted on the green grass, and a young man rode his horse freely and galloped towards me.

At that time, he was wearing a bright red robe, with a sword made of fine steel on his waist. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and looked very heroic.

With a quiver on his back and a crossbow in his hand, he looked like a burning flame. His arrival was like a gust of wind, stirring up waves in everything around him.

He thought of him, Li Yunmu and Zhou Lingyin, the bad guys that people in Tokyo hated.

I thought of opening up the Maritime Silk Road and purchasing and going out to sea together with Yunyang and Yunhe.

I thought of attacking the wilderness with Ren Jialin and Xie Jue, and attacking the thirty-six states in the north...

And he is still a teenager now, while the prince who is the regent of Yulong Kingdom is already fifteen years old!

It seems like a lifetime ago.

They are not young anymore, but those days when they fought together, drank together, killed enemies and had fun together, those days when they were young and frivolous, all came to mind in an instant.

It turned out that he had never left far away.

As soon as Xie Zhaozhao got off Yin Jin'an's carriage, her eyes were fixed on him and the child in his arms.

My hands couldn't help shaking and my eyes couldn't help turning red.

She didn't know what the two people's faces looked like behind the masks, and she couldn't recognize them now.

A heart is cut open and it hurts.

Zhou Shaoyu quietly moved closer to her, offered her his shoulder, asked her to lean on him, and held her hand under the wide sleeves of his robe.

Pinch it gently.

Surrounded by people from both countries, they couldn't reveal anything.

Zhou Shaoyu said: "Your Majesty Emperor Aotian, is everything okay?"

Yin Jinan also smiled and said, "Emperor Chen, Your Majesty Emperor An, how are you?"

These words almost made Xie Zhaozhao break down. This was Yin Jinan. Only Yin Jinan would speak in the tone of an old friend like this.

The sense of familiarity is ingrained in us.

Both sides greeted each other politely. The ministers of Qi thought that Yulong Kingdom attached great importance to Qi, but they didn't know why Yulong Kingdom was so polite.

But that shows that Emperor Aotian is popular, right?

Yin Jinan said to the court officials: "Invite everyone from Yulong Kingdom to the palace. I want to have a good talk with Emperor Chen and Emperor An."

Everyone moved into the palace.

In the Golden Palace, Yin Jinan asked Xiahou Yan to send everyone else out.

Xie Zhaozhao has not said a word since she met them at the post station. She has no doubt that although the person in front of her looks nothing like Yin Jinan, she knows that he is Yin Jinan.

She is most familiar with it.

His tone, his habitual little gestures.

Zhou Shaoyu had long heard from Gu Chongjin and Ling Xun that the Emperor of Qi was too similar to King Yi Zi Bing Jian.

They didn't see his face under the mask, but they all firmly believed that Emperor Aotian must have a relationship with Yin Jinan.

Now that they met, Zhou Shaoyu felt extremely familiar with them.

It's like meeting a relative, but the other person's identity cannot be revealed in public. All the high-sounding words of diplomatic relations seem hypocritical and pale.

There were brief silences in the hall, and the air was filled with sadness.

Zhou Qiyuan and Zhou Qize both sat obediently next to Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Shaoyu.

On the way here, their mother told them that there was a little Taoist priest in Qi State, who might be their sister.

So they thought their mother’s silence meant that she wanted to recognize her sister but didn’t dare to.

They didn't expect that both the Queen Mother and the Emperor were afraid to recognize their old friends when they saw them.

Zhou Shaoyu lowered his head and said to Zhou Qi Ze: "That's Princess Longxiong, are you going to play with her?"

Zhou Qi Ze immediately ran over to Yin Jin An, looked at Jiu Tian who was nestled in his arms and asked, "Are you a girl or a boy?"

Jiutian said in a baby voice: "I am a girl."

"Then why are you dressed like this?"

"I am a Taoist priest."

"Can you tell fortunes?"

"Yes, do you want to calculate? I can charge you money or you can give me food."

"How much food do you need?"

"Five hundred thousand koku."

"..."

Isn't this too dark?

Zhou Qiyuan said, "Brother, please come back. Princess Longxiong is very smart and capable. She is very good at fortune-telling. In fact, Taoist priests have a rule that fortune-telling for people with whom they are destined to be is free."

Zhou Qi Ze asked, "We are destined to be together, right? I am five years old this year, and my birthday is May 16th. How about you?"

Jiu Tian exclaimed, "I also turned five on May 16th."

"Really? I have a sister. She and I are twins. She was also born on May 16th, a quarter of an hour later than I was."

"Really? Then the three of us were all born on May 16th?"

"Yeah, we are destined to be together, aren't we?"

"Hmmmm, it's fate."

"Then can you tell my fortune for free?"

“……”Jiutian: The loss is too great!

Jiu Tian pinched her hands and immediately calculated Zhou Qi Ze's fate, and said, "Are you sure I want to tell you now?"

Zhou Qi Ze thought for a moment and said, "Can you please not tell me about my bed-wetting?"

"Then you have to give me food, and I will whisper."

Zhou Qi Ze: Why are we talking about food again?

Later, Jiu Tian finally told him in a low voice. Zhou Qi Ze widened his eyes in shock and returned to his seat with a blushing face.

This little Taoist princess was so amazing that she even calculated the number of teeth that fell out when he was breastfed until he was three years old and were thrown on the roof.

Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao were amused and confused by the interaction between the two children, especially the incident of Zhou Qi Ze wetting the bed. They did it so loudly, were they afraid that others wouldn't hear it?

Zhou Shaoyu felt very uncomfortable when he saw Jiutian nestling in Yin Jinan's arms. What if this person was really his daughter? It would be a huge loss.

My wife and Yin Jinan are close friends. If my daughter is also obsessed with Yin Jinan...

He and Yin Jinan are irreconcilable! !

"Princess Longxiong, it's not good for children to wear masks for their facial growth. It will collapse their noses. Why don't you take off the mask?" Zhou Shaoyu coaxed, "Wearing a mask will make you feel depressed, and if you don't have enough energy, your brain won't be smart."

Jiu Tian tilted his head and said, "You want to see my face for free, right?"

"I am doing this for the princess's own good."

"You really want me to take off the mask?"

"Well, this is my suggestion. A wise princess will usually listen to advice."

"I can take it, but you have to give my uncle five million shi of grain!"

Zhou Shaoyu:......

The little cotton jacket is leaking!!
