Chapter 204 Good news
"Okay, I believe you." King Qing remained calm, but in his heart he admired Ye Zhaoyan's courage.

He waved his hand, "Come here, pull this maid into the woodshed."

Soon, the two guards dragged the maid away, and a shrill scream came from a distance.

Everyone couldn't help being a little creepy.

King Qing turned his eyes and looked at Ye Zhaoyan, his eyes were a little sharp.

Ye Zhaoyan met his gaze frankly, without fear.

"Miss Ye, don't worry, this king will investigate thoroughly and make the decision for you." King Qing's voice was still calm as usual, "Although this matter is a bit turbulent, since this king has agreed to you, the blessing will proceed as usual."

Aunt Ying who was at the side hurried over with two maids, and spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone deftly.

Ye Zhaoyan bowed to King Qing and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. It's just that if the content of the prayer is known, it will not be effective if you go to pray. I wonder if Your Highness would like Zhaoyan to take away your signature?"

Although she said it euphemistically, the meaning was obvious.

King Qing was silent for a moment, "Miss Ye is very considerate."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Zhaoyan took the original signature from Aunt Ying, turned around and walked to the seat.

Everyone looked at her back and looked at each other in blank dismay.

All of a sudden, everyone's interest in the banquet was greatly reduced, and they began to talk about today's miracles.

"What is the origin of this Zhong Lichen to make Miss Ye's signature be recognized in public?"

"It's not easy? Didn't you see Miss Ye's eyes just now? It's obvious that I have a deep affection for Zhong Lichen!"

"You're right, but is this Zhong Lichen from the Zhongli family? And what kind of appearance made Miss Ye's treat him like this?"

"Who knows that!"

"I guess, Zhong Lichen is not only handsome, but also has a brilliant literary talent and martial arts skills, which makes Miss Ye's love for him so deep?"

"That's true."

Five days after the Hundred Flowers Festival ended, there were still rumors about Zhong Lichen in Jindu, but no one knew his details.

Even those who know Zhongli's family have never heard of this name.

Ye Zhaoyan didn't care about these rumors, her curiosity still lingered on the adventures that happened before Qiong Shu's banquet, the weirdness in the wooden house, and the strange and familiar plum blossoms, which occupied her mind for several days.

Although there were constant rumors outside, Jindu was calm, and no important news happened, only the Xue family made some secret moves.

Xue Huaidan took advantage of King Qing's influence to come to Ye Mansion to make trouble twice. Ye Zhengping's attitude was tough, he did not hesitate to confront the influence of King Qing, and did not let Xue Huaidan have the slightest chance.

The token that was handed over has not shown up for a long time, and Ye Zhengping has been exploring the key to it.

Three days later, the news of General Ye's victory at Yanxi Pass came back to Jindu, and the Ye family also began to prepare for the triumphant return of General Ye to Jindu.

In the next half a month, Mr. Qi and the stewards in the mansion were busy without touching the ground, and all the servants in the mansion were also busy preparing for various matters to clean up the dust.

General Ye is about to return home, and the banquet matters of the Ye family are even more complicated. Ye Fugui personally supervises and supervises the people in the mansion every day, and he is extremely busy.

Ye Zhengping wanted to make preparations in advance for the Ye family army brought back by General Ye, and was always at the city gate, not daring to be negligent.

And Ye Zhaoyan stayed in the mansion for half a month, practicing swords in the morning and studying two books late at night, but he never stepped out of the courtyard.

The glory of the Ye family's upcoming addition shocked the whole brocade.

The name of the Ye family was suppressed by the other three major families for a time, and they had merits but their status was not obvious.

This time, General Ye's contribution is extraordinary, if His Majesty appreciates it with heart, the Ye family can even surpass the two major families.

And the name of Ye Zhaoyan, the concubine of the Ye family, gradually spread in the circle of noble girls in Jindu.

On this day, news came from the post station that the vanguard of the Ye family army had arrived at the border of the main city of Jindu with General Ye and was heading towards the Chengguan.

When the news spread, the whole Jin Dynasty was in a state of excitement.

Many people heard about this, and sent young men from their families out of the city to meet him, wanting to meet the legendary brave and invincible first general.

When Ye Zhaoyan heard that Ye Zhengping led the elite to Chengguan to welcome General Ye back, he was so excited that his heart was beating wildly, as if it was going to burst out of his chest in the next second.

"Miss, the vanguard of the Ye Family Army has arrived near the Chengguan, and it is estimated that General Ye will arrive at Ye Mansion in another quarter of an hour." Lian Luo came on a fast horse and reported.

Ye Zhaoyan's excited heart calmed down temporarily. She took a deep breath and tried to restrain the excitement in her heart. "Got it! You go first!"

Lian Luo saluted respectfully, rode his horse and galloped away.

Ye Zhaoyan watched Lian Luo leave, his eyes fell on the book in his hand, and his heart was determined.

This time, she will never repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

"Zhaoyan."

Just as Ye Zhaoyan stepped into the Ye Mansion, a gentle voice came. She raised her head to look, only to see Ye Fugui in gorgeous purple clothes standing at the door.

Her beautiful eyes looked bright, with a slight smile at the corners of her eyes, and she looked gentle and peaceful, like a newborn.

Ye Zhaoyan was slightly taken aback. In her distant memory, Ye Fugui had always looked like this. When we meet again in this life, it feels like years have passed, just like the previous life.

"Mother." Ye Zhaoyan stepped forward and called out.

Ye Fugui grinned, "If you're in a hurry, get on the horse and have a look! Mother and Mr. Qi will take care of everything in the mansion, don't worry!"

Sensing Ye Fugui's joyful tone, Ye Zhaoyan's heart moved, and he couldn't help holding Ye Fugui's hand, "Mother, Zhaoyan is going to meet Grandpa."

Ye Fugui's eyes turned red when she heard the words, she stretched out her other hand and patted Ye Zhaoyan's hand lightly, and said happily: "Well, you can go if you want! If your grandfather knows that you are so filial, he will be very happy. "

A blush of excitement appeared on Ye Zhaoyan's face, and he quickly led a maroon horse through the side door, turned over and stepped on it, clamped the horse's belly, and the horse ran towards the city gate.

The horseshoes were flying, and the horse galloped on the street, rolling up a fine sand splash.

Her posture was neat, her lips were slightly pursed, revealing a trace of coldness, making passers-by unable to look away.

Soon, Ye Zhaoyan arrived under the city gate.

The city wall is towering and majestic, with tall battlements on both sides, and soldiers guarding the city wall.

Under the city tower, flags fluttered, crowds gathered, and it was a lively scene.

A black lacquered carriage with gold trim was slowly moving forward, and the flags on the carriage were fluttering.

Teams of soldiers in black armor lined up behind them, their figures were tall and straight, full of heroic spirit, and their eyes were shining sharply.

They had swords on their waists, and they looked like they were ready for battle.

Ye Zhaoyan got off his horse and looked at this army with excitement and anticipation in his heart.

 Tomorrow is the plot of General Ye's return, and there will be some foreshadowing and maneuvering.
