Chapter 50

On the third day after Lin Yuan and Qi Haoran met, the army from the expedition finally came back victorious. His Majesty the Emperor, who got the news on the second day, summoned a group of courtiers to meet him, and ordered the prince to lead a group of courtiers They went out of town to meet him.

Many people who heard the good news spontaneously took to the streets to congratulate the returning army, and took the opportunity to see the demeanor of the heroic generals.Because it was more important that the crown prince greeted him personally, the imperial guards with long guns and broadswords on their waists maintained order on the street with a serious face, so as not to cause any trouble.

In such a situation, anyone who saw it would have to say hilariously.On a three-story teahouse facing the street, on the top floor, a young girl and a young man of about 24 or [-] were leaning on the railing, waiting for the army to enter the city just like ordinary people.

"I haven't seen you in six years. I really don't know what Mr. Qi looks like. I only saw him two days ago, and I have to come and see it again today." Lin Yi turned his head and said to his sister Lin Yuan, and added another sentence, "Sister's The motives are all too obvious."

Lin Yuan squinted at her third brother, but said without changing her expression, "Third brother, how do you know that I am looking at brother Qi, not grandfather, or cousins?" He didn't deliberately hide his feelings in front of his brother.

Lin Yi laughed, "Yes, my sister asked the third brother to take you out. It must be to see my grandfather and a few cousins. I don't want to see people who are not very relevant." They are obviously familiar people. Yi here, on the contrary, is an irrelevant person.

Lin Yuan, who had been looking down, finally turned her head to look at her third brother, with a smile on her face, and asked, "Daddy and the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother love me. I always know that, but why... ..." Lin Yuan paused for a moment, and then continued to say, "Why does Mr. Qi have such a big opinion?"

Lin Yi saw that he didn't glance at him, and smiled, "Isn't this simple? Not to mention Dad, it's us who are brothers, and who didn't watch you grow up? When he was so young, he actually stared at you. Fucking you, how can we be happy?"

When my sister was only seven years old, she was actually targeted!This is simply ulterior motives, malicious intentions, and ulterior motives!Lin Yi bitterly added a few words in his heart.

There was a sudden commotion on the street below, and the crowd followed suit. Both Lin Yuan and Lin Yi stopped talking for a while and looked over there.The prince's guard of honor was at the forefront, followed by the prince's chariot, followed by a group of courtiers and officials. Lin Yuan saw her father and elder brother in the crowd.

Behind the courtiers walked several groups of soldiers in armor and carrying spears.Further back, the second and sixth princes rode tall horses ahead.

The second prince is also 26 and seven years old this year. After going through such a difficult six years, he looks very mature and resolute, and also has the demeanor of a big man.Even though he is a prince, his imposing manner will not be low, but that kind of domineering over ten million people does not mean that he can have it if he has it.

The sixth prince was much younger than the second prince. If Lin Yuan remembered correctly, the second prince didn't even seem to have married a wife before he set off for the expedition.After returning from victory this time, His Majesty will naturally rely heavily on him. I'm afraid that many people will smash their heads or sharpen their heads and want to send their daughters to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, saying that they have to be concubines or concubines or even other things. All are happy.

Following the second prince and the sixth prince were a group of elders, either the Duke of the State, or the Marquis, or the general.Lin Yuan and Lin Yi naturally saw their grandfather.Ying Wuhou was originally a very dignified person, looking at it now, he doesn't feel that he is getting older, on the contrary he looks more energetic.Probably this time the most restless mood in my heart has been resolved, the mood is incomparably comfortable in the past, and the whole person looks different.

Qi Haoran's father, Qi Mingcheng, Fenyonghou, was riding next to Yingwuhou, and he stood out among the people in this row.Not only because of his youth in comparison, but also because of his handsomeness.Qi Haoran's good looks naturally depend on his parents' inheritance.

Lin Yuan's two uncles followed her grandfather in the row behind them, riding horses side by side.On the row of horses behind the uncles, her four cousins ​​were all there.Lin Yuan's four cousins, all in their twenties, are all imposing, sitting on horseback, looking very eye-catching.

But really speaking, Qi Haoran, who was side by side with them, seemed to be more eye-catching.Lin Yuan's eyes fell on him unconsciously.Qi Haoran was wearing a bright light armor, which was different from the nobleman's demeanor when he appeared that day. He was sitting upright, only looking straight ahead, calm and unhurried.

I don't know if he felt Lin Yuan's gaze, and when Lin Yuan looked at him, he raised his head slightly and looked in Lin Yuan's direction.Lin Yuan saw his head move and then returned to its original appearance, she couldn't help but wondered in her heart, "Can you notice it from such a distance?"

Lin Yi turned his head to look at his sister, and then glanced at the back of Qi Haoran on the horse who had already passed by, and said sullenly, "My sister was so full of words just now, now I don't just look at him alone Is it gone?"

"Grandfather, uncles, and cousins ​​are all at the front." Lin Yuan, who looked away, heard what her third brother said, and had to remind her aloud.

Lin Yi only said, "If Daddy found out, he would definitely be so angry that his nose would be crooked."

This expedition, which lasted six years and finally triumphed, is of great significance to this dynasty, which can be seen from this.The triumphant return of the army not only means the victory of a long war, but also the complete stability of the people at the border, without any further harassment, and it is also a testament to the national strength of the dynasty.

Among the many courtiers and generals who met at the pilgrimage, the second and sixth princes, the two special figures, were left aside for the time being, especially the men from Yingwuhou's Mansion and Fenyonghou's Mansion who made outstanding contributions.Even if there was no such expedition as Yingwuhou and Fenyonghou, no one would doubt or question the strength of these two.Now that they have made great achievements and come back, more people admire them, but few people think it is so rare.

His Majesty the Emperor felt relieved when he saw Victory came back and had an unknown number of sons, and he was also very satisfied when he saw the generals and ministers.Since it is a war, casualties are inevitable.The generals who died on the battlefield were rewarded a lot, which can be regarded as comfort to their families.

Those who have made meritorious service such as Yingwuhou and Fenyonghou will naturally be able to be promoted, and they should be rewarded.Most of the rewards that the courageous Hou received were fertile land, gold, and jewels. After all, he was still young, and there would be more opportunities for promotion and rewards in the future.

In contrast, the older Marquis Yingwu was directly promoted to the Duke of England, and there were not many other rewards at all.Lin Yuan's uncle and cousins ​​were all promoted, and even Lin Yuan's second uncle was awarded a second-class title.Such a generous reward also represented the emperor's reliance on Yingwuhou's Mansion.

The prince and his party looked at it coldly, all of them were worried, Yingwuhou's mansion, that was Concubine Hui's natal family.

Among the many soldiers, it was the young Qi Haoran who received the most praise and recommendation from the second and sixth princes.The second prince specially played with the emperor, saying, "Child Qi is young, but he dared to follow Fen Yonghou into the enemy camp alone, beheaded eighteen enemy soldiers and came back safely. He is really a young hero, which is admirable."

Such words did cause a small uproar.At such an age, just daring to go deep into the enemy's camp is enough to be admirable, but he even beheaded eighteen enemy generals?It's unbelievable.

On the other hand, Qi Shizi himself, who was praised in this way, had a look of humility on his face, but he was actually calm and calm. The undisguised heroism between his brows and eyes made him even more charming.

Hearing what the second prince said, the emperor immediately clapped his hands and praised Qi Haoran as a sixth-rank personal guard captain.Later, there were many rewards from other people, so the morning court that day was scattered quite late.

After going to court, the second and sixth princes were going to visit their mother and concubine, so they naturally wanted to greet the queen first.Just as they were still paying respects to the queen, they saw a servant leading Qi Haoran in, and couldn't help but twitch their eyebrows and eyes slightly.

Qi Haoran knelt down to salute the empress, the empress smiled and dismissed him and ordered someone to give him a seat, and then said to the second prince and the sixth prince, "I heard that the son of Qi has made great military exploits at a young age, so I couldn't help being curious, so I invited a See."

The second prince and the sixth prince said yes, and the queen turned to talk to Qi Haoran, asking a lot of things, and finally said, "Qi Shizi is eighteen this year, right? But Zeng Yiqian gone?"

Qi Haoran replied truthfully, "No."

The queen smiled and said kindly, "Speaking of which, the sixth prince hasn't decided on a princess yet, so it's just a matter of time to marry him. Eighteen, it's not too young, it's time to get married."

Just as the queen finished speaking, the emperor over there had already stepped in, and said loudly, "Xiao Liu is over 20, and the marriage matters should be tightened up."

Everyone stood up and saluted the emperor.

The queen kneeling on the ground felt bitter for a while, how long has the emperor not been to her?Now I just saw the second prince and the sixth prince, is it worth it for him to hurry over here?

The emperor excused everyone and asked them all to sit down, and then said to the sixth prince, "You are at this age, it is time to start a family."

The sixth prince was originally the youngest son, so it was normal for him to be favored.He didn't hold back at this meeting, he just said to the emperor, "Since Father and Empress mentioned this matter, I have no choice but to be cheeky and beg Father."

The emperor listened carefully to his words with a smile, and the sixth prince said, "General Huang and General Huang's only son both died in battle, and now only Mrs. Huang and Miss Huang are left. I heard General Huang mention it before. Ms. Jia should be 16 years old now, and she has never been engaged. In addition, General Huang has gone to war, so naturally she has not yet married. General Huang's life in the army is admirable, and his son is willing to marry Miss Huang as his concubine. I also ask Father to complete it!"

Hearing such words, the Queen's complexion immediately turned bad.
