The end of the new year is approaching, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Hu Guogong, who have been stationed in the frontier for four years, succeeded in rebellion and returned to Kyoto to return to their orders.

It was the Chinese New Year when they returned to their hometown. The soldiers were in high spirits and marched at a fast pace. Before the banquet prepared by His Majesty the emperor could be held in time, the crown prince and Duke Protector had already entered the city.

Jiankang City was still bustling in the cold winter, people on both sides of the road came to welcome the hero's return, flowers and cheers all the way, Lu Wuhan suddenly choked up.

It's really good to be able to go home alive, but it's a pity that her Ye Chu can only return to her hometown in the form of a tomb, obviously she is also a hero.

"Come on, host, as long as the task is completed, Miss Ye Chu will come back to life!" Zero Ba monitored Lu Wuhan's depression, and when he was overjoyed, what Lu Wuhan thought of was Ye Chuyuan's death.

When they arrived at the gate of the imperial palace, the emperor had already led hundreds of officials waiting to greet him. Lu Wuhan got off his horse and walked to the emperor at the same time as Duke Huguo. He knelt down on one knee, "I will not disgrace the emperor's order, come back and return!"

A piece of black armor was covered with knife marks and scratches, even the wrist guards were cracked and mended, and the shiny black armor was covered with a layer of dust.

The emperor helped Lu Wuhan up and looked at the prince who was already about the same height as him. His beautiful face was sunburned, his skin was chapped, and the corners of his mouth were broken.

The emperor stretched out his hand and patted Lu Wuhan's face, feeling infinitely, "The prince has grown up."

Lu Wuhan bowed his head and cupped his hands: "My son is very relieved, my father's demeanor is still extraordinary."

Then Eunuch Huang read out the imperial decree, conferred meritorious persons, rewarded the imperial banquet, and rewarded the three armies.Duan Wang Lu Wuhen stood in front of all the officials, watching Lu Wuhan being sealed with a smile all the time.

After all the officials had dispersed, King Duan walked up to Lu Wuhan and congratulated him: "The crown prince has returned from victory, you have worked hard all the way."

Lu Wuhan looked at Prince Duan in surprise, "Why is Prince Duan so thin? I heard that you married Concubine Duan and had a son, so I wanted to go and congratulate you with a small gift."

Duan Wang said with a smile: "The crown prince is not in the capital, so I don't know about it. After this king got married, he was highly valued by his father, and he was given an important post in the military department. Sometimes it is really hard to get away from official duties."

Wei Guo Shangshutai, the four major institutions of officials, households, and soldiers. The Ministry of War is in charge of military power and military orders.

Lu Wuhan said with concern: "Then King Duan should pay more attention to his body, take time to practice martial arts more, and don't overwork, it will be bad if he is sick."

Duan Wang said: "This king will take good care of his body, and don't bother the prince to worry about it. I just hope that His Royal Highness will be crowned as soon as possible, and it will also help the father to relieve his worries."

Lu Wuhan smiled dryly, it seemed that someone didn't want her to be crowned, and had already prepared for it.

This time, before they could take a breath, the battle began.

After a few courtesies, the two of them dispersed separately. Lu Wuhan was greeted by the eunuchs and maids of the East Palace, and returned to her place of residence.

Taking a shower and changing clothes, and putting incense on his hair, Lu Wuhan took off his armor with the help of a group of eunuchs, and soaked all his clothes in the hot spring soup.

Dong'er hadn't seen Lu Wuhan for a long time, she just felt a little strange, she stayed by the side all the time, even if Lu Wuhan didn't call her, she didn't dare to move.

Zhang Sheng was just happy that His Royal Highness could return safely, and their East Palace would be safe and sound. The little maid brought the body cream and put it respectfully in front of Dong'er.

Seeing that Dong'er was not moving, Zhang Sheng called her in a low voice, "Sister Dong'er, it's time to apply moisturizing ointment to Your Highness."

Dong'er responded for a moment, picked up the body lotion and walked to the side of the bath, Lu Wuhan opened his eyes and looked at her, Dong'er's hand shook, and the lotion fell into the hot spring water.

"Your Highness, forgive me, this servant deserves to die!" Dong'er knelt on the ground, with her head pressed against the warm jade by the bath, and confessed in a panic.

Lu Wuhan picked up the body lotion from the water with a blank expression. The box has not been opened yet, so the lotion inside should not have been soaked by water.

The small box was put by Lu Wuhan by the pool, Lu Wuhan said lazily, "I haven't seen you for four years, Dong'er has become so strange to me, are you so afraid?"

Dong'er raised her head and carefully explained: "This servant is a little excited. Your Highness has returned safely. This servant is very happy. Please forgive me for disturbing Your Highness!"

"Well, forgive your sin."

With Lu Wuhan's indifferent words, Dong'er turned her grief into joy, got up and picked up the moisturizer, opened it and saw that it was intact, and began to help Lu Wuhan apply it with all her heart.

After some scrubbing, Lu Wuhan felt completely white. Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Zhang Sheng helped her crown her hair, and fixed it with a hosta.

In addition to being a little darker, Lu Wuhan still looks like a beautiful His Royal Highness, and when he is an adult, Lu Wuhan exudes a mature atmosphere and is even more charming.

The emperor set up the banquet in the imperial garden to welcome the returning soldiers. When Lu Wuhan arrived, all the civil and military officials had arrived.

Seeing Lu Wuhan, all the officials knelt down to greet him, "See Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

Lu Wuhan asked everyone to stand up modestly and politely, and under the leadership of the eunuch, they sat on the left hand side of the emperor's throne, facing King Duan.

In this kind of vanity fair, Lu Wuhan tried his best to maintain a smile on his face, and waited until the emperor arrived, the imperial banquet really began.This kind of banquet for the emperor and his ministers is mostly military generals, and the emperor did not let the concubines of the harem to participate, so he couldn't let it go.

It was all old-fashioned singing and dancing to add to the fun, everyone toasted each other, with Lu Wuhan as the main protagonist, many people came to toast, and among them was Prince Rui who had just been canonized.

This Prince Rui was originally not in Lu Wuhan's consideration, but in the past few years, Qiufeng mentioned Prince Rui several times in his heart, and entangled Ye Chu many times.

With one more rival in love, Lu Wuhan was very irritable, and blamed her cheap emperor father, why did she have so many sons?Everyone wanted to be the emperor, and all of them were targeting her.

Prince Rui personally filled the wine for Lu Wuhan, raised his glass, and said with an innocent expression, "Congratulations to the crown prince's brother for his victory!"

Lu Wuhan's scalp tingled when he called his brother, it turned out that he felt this way when he had a younger brother, please forgive her as the youngest in the family for not being able to adapt.

Lu Wuhan greeted him kindly: "Prince Rui, you are being polite. I haven't seen you for four years, and I have become a handsome young man. I am also very pleased."

The corners of Prince Rui's eyes turned red immediately, and he was about to stage brotherly love with Lu Wuhan, but Lu Wuhan walked away unintentionally, and went to talk to other people, she didn't want to accompany this kind of little showman.

After passing around a large circle of people, Lu Wuhan and Ye Zhengyuan had a drink. The crown prince came over, exchanged glances with Ye Zhengyuan, and looked at Lu Wuhan at the same time.

"Two mentors, this is?" Lu Wuhan asked in a low voice, if she guessed right, these two people will definitely have trouble in the court tomorrow.

The Taifu stroked his long beard, smiled on his face, but did not move his lips very much, "Your Highness, Tomorrow I and the Guild of Protecting the Country will speak to His Majesty, and crown you as a crowned member of the court."

Lu Wuhan was alert and asked for advice: "Then what should I do?"

The Taifu shook his head with a smile, and Ye Zhengyuan also laughed, "Your Highness, you don't need to do anything, just be careful when you walk, and don't kick any big rocks!"

Lu Wuhan naturally knew the implication, the two old foxes looked at each other and smiled, and went to fight for wine again, while Ye Chang came to talk to Lu Wuhan.

When Lu Wuhan saw Ye Chang, he asked, "Chuchu, have you ever been embarrassed by the Duke's wife?"

Ye Chang had no choice but to say, "My mother did punish her to read Buddhist scriptures at home, and it is estimated that she will not be able to come out in four or five days. Your Highness does not need to worry."

Lu Wuhan exclaimed: "I can't get out for four or five days!"

Ye Chang was completely speechless, he obviously wanted to share his joy of seeing his fiancée with Lu Wuhan, how could the prince know to ask about his sister.

Ye Chang complained rather critically: "Your Highness, I'm going to Yue's house to discuss the marriage tomorrow, why don't you ask me?"

Lu Wuhan said indifferently: "Congratulations, Ah Chang."

Seeing Lu Wuhan's lost look, Ye Chang leaned into Lu Wuhan's ear and said, "Your Highness is making out with my sister, and my father and the generals of the Ye family army have seen it all. I'll wait for Your Highness to come down to propose marriage!"

Lu Wuhan suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at Ye Chang in disbelief, "Chu Chu himself said that he wanted to marry me?"

Ye Chang said: "As the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, my parents have the final say on my younger sister's marriage. They will definitely agree to His Highness!"

What Ye Chang said was taken for granted, he felt that there was no need for Lu Wuhan to be so worried, and based on His Royal Highness's kindness to the Ye family, if His Royal Highness wanted to marry his sister, his parents would never object.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wuhan shook his head in disappointment, "If Chuchu didn't agree, then it won't work!"

Ye Chang didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to wait until he got home to talk to Ye Chu.

After the imperial banquet was over, Lu Wuhan got a little drunk, sat on the soft sedan chair, and was carried back to the East Palace by the eunuch, but before he reached the East Palace, someone stopped him.

The empress empress dressed in fine clothes stood there with a smile on her face, Lu Wuhan was lifted up by the eunuch, and bowed her hands: "I have seen the empress empress!"

The queen approached Lu Wuhan, sniffed the smell of alcohol on Lu Wuhan's body, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and slightly opened her mouth: "The prince drank so much wine, and I made tea soup, why don't you go to hangover?"

Lu Wuhan took a step back and distanced himself from the empress, "There are maids in the palace of my ministers, so I don't need the empress to bother, my father also drank a lot of wine and needs to be taken care of by the empress, so I don't need to bother you."

The queen didn't intend to let it go, "Your Majesty has already delivered the decoction, and he must have fallen asleep. The prince doesn't have to worry." Then, the queen approached Lu Wuhan again.

The fingertips touched Lu Wuhan's robe, and the fingers stained with cardamom were about to go towards Lu Wuhan's chest, but Lu Wuhan dodged them.

"Empress empress respects herself!"

Lu Wuhan warned in a low voice, but the queen was still smiling without any fear, "The prince has grown up, and there is no woman in the frontier for four years, presumably..."

This kind of hesitation, coupled with the empress's eyes now, Lu Wuhan should know that the empress is seducing and seducing her, but she didn't expect the empress to be so bold.

The eunuchs and maids were all there, but she actually teased her husband's son in front of so many people.

Lu Wuhan turned down his face, and refused politely: "Don't bother the empress, I have my own plans, the empress should go back and see if my brother is awake, and leave!"

Lu Wuhan was half sober from the wine, got on the soft sedan chair, and left directly.

In Duke Huguo's mansion, the table in front of Ye Chu was covered with copied Buddhist scriptures. Suddenly, a flying knife flew in from outside and nailed it precisely on the window lattice.

Ye Chu took off the note on it, opened it to read it, his face was filled with anger, and he couldn't help cursing: "What a queen, I can't stand it when I just came back!"

The more he thought about it, the more angry Ye Chu picked up the pen, wrote a few lines on the white paper, and put it directly on the window. A black shadow suddenly appeared and took the note away.

"Sister! Sister, are you asleep?"

As soon as Ye Chang came back, he went straight to Ye Chu's small courtyard. Ye Chu's maid hurriedly greeted him. Ye Chu got up and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he saw Ye Chang who was drunk.

"Brother drank so much, if you don't go to rest, what are you doing here?"

Ye Chang didn't enter the house either, so he stood in the yard and said loudly with a drunken voice, "Let me tell you something. His Highness said that as long as you didn't agree, he wouldn't tell his parents to marry you. Okay." Alright, brother, I'm going back to sleep."

Seeing Ye Chang wave his hand, turn around and walk out of the small courtyard, Ye Chu asked, "Which Your Highness?"

Ye Chang roared loudly: "Besides His Royal Highness, who else is there?" The servants supported Ye Chang, and under Ye Chu's watchful eyes, they carried Ye Chang away.

Ye Chu stood where he was, determined in his heart, since he's back, let's live a good life.
