King Leng pursues his wife, but abandons his concubine

Chapter 166: Friends Return (2)
Leng Yuechen didn't think about it that much. At that time, he just felt that this young man with the same stubborn face was a friend he could make, so he made it regardless.

A neat and orderly line of soldiers went straight to the Moon Palace.

When the palace gate was opened, Lian Chengyu saw that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the most honorable young emperor of the Yue Kingdom were standing behind the heavy palace gate, looking at him with eyes full of joy.

Can you not be happy?His return also meant that the barbarian turmoil in the east of the Moon Kingdom had subsided smoothly. The Moon Kingdom had once again demonstrated its powerful and unshakable position on the entire continent.

"Welcome Lian Chengyu and General Lian Cheng to return in triumph!"

A loud shout suddenly sounded, and Leng Yuemu walked over to Lian Chengyu, patted him on the shoulder with a big smile, and said: "General Liancheng has worked hard, on behalf of all the people in the entire Yue Kingdom I would like to thank General Liancheng!"

Lian Chengyu cupped his hands respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, the words are serious. It is the duty of the last general to protect the family and the country. Why do you need to say thank you!"

"Haha! I have always admired General Liancheng's candid personality! Yue Kingdom is truly honored to have such a talent as General Liancheng!"

After listening to Lian Chengyu's sincere and direct words, Leng Yuemu was naturally more happy, and the smile on her face became more real.

Standing behind Leng Yuemu, the ministers with sharp eyesight all stood up one after another and were overjoyed with Lian Chengyu. Lian Chengyu just nodded politely one by one, and responded with a light nod, without being affected by their sincere, deliberate or flattering words at all.

In the eyes of those ministers, it is not a big deal if Lian Chengyu, a well-known and well-known young general, does not come back. The emperor is far away, even if he has made many achievements in defeating foreign enemies. There is no way to reward him heavily.After all, he doesn't care about the young general who is fighting against the enemy, whether it is a promotion or a golden beauty, right?

But it's different now, Lian Chengyu is back, not only back, but also returning triumphantly with all his feats and many honors.

This also means that he will definitely receive the invincible respect and reward of Leng Yuemu, the emperor of Yue Kingdom. Wouldn't it be too stupid not to hurry up and win him over at this time?

As the king of a country, Leng Yuemu had already understood the inner thoughts of these courtiers who were used to observing words and expressions.In the end, let's not say that Lian Chengyu is not someone who is easy to win over for the time being, even if they really win over him, it will not pose any threat to him, and he is happy to be a leisurely onlooker.

At night, the huge palace is brightly lit everywhere, and a lively and festive scene can be seen everywhere.

The maids and eunuchs were not idle, they lined up in a long line, carrying trays in their hands, and walked towards Qingfeng Hall in an orderly manner.

Qingfeng Hall has always been a place to receive friendly visitors from neighboring countries, but today, Leng Yuemu specially announced that he would hold a celebration banquet here for Lian Chengyu, who returned triumphantly. It can be seen how much the illustrious young general attaches importance to.

"The emperor is here! The empress dowager is here!"

A shrill voice rang out, and the civil servants and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who were chatting and laughing in rows stood up one after another, clasped their hands together and said in unison: "My humble minister welcomes the emperor and empress dowager!"

Leng Yuemu, who was dressed in a shining yellow robe, walked over slowly with the help of an old lady in a dark imperial phoenix robe...

"All loves, please get up!"

Leng Yuemu casually waved at the court officials. Dressed in a yellow robe, his handsome, silent and slightly cold face added a bit of majesty unique to the royal emperor that cannot be ignored.

The empress dowager next to Leng Yuemu had a radiant look on her face, and the depths of her eyes were also full of clarity. She could not tell at all that she was already an old man who had reached the age of 60.

The protagonist of today's banquet——Lian Chengyu also sat down again with the civil and military officials, with a calm and composed appearance, showing the aura of the young general to the fullest. He blushed a little face.

Yes, this is a celebration banquet, and it is also a unique blind date banquet.

And this celebration banquet has evolved into the main host of the blind date banquet, so it is undoubtedly Leng Yuemu.

He felt that adding an official to Lian Chengyu would not be able to escape, but it was not enough to express how much he valued him, as the saying goes since ancient times - a hero is saddened by a beauty.He might as well take this opportunity to find a good marriage for Lian Chengyu, find a lady who interprets Yuhua, wouldn't it be wonderful!
Well, even as the majestic Ninth Five-Year Lord of the Yue Kingdom, Leng Yuemu actually has potential factors in her bones that she wants to be a matchmaker and sign a red line once.

Lian Chengyu had just taken his seat, so he naturally saw the fiery gazes and radiant gazes of those rich ladies wrapping around him. Even so, the expression on his face did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he was still sitting in his seat so calmly. On top of that, he poured himself a glass of sake from time to time, and when he swallowed it, his mouth was filled with the clear and sweet aroma of the wine, which reminded him of a person, an old friend who had never been able to let go of him...today late, should come?
After all, it is such a grand banquet, the emperor has no reason not to invite him to attend this banquet.

Lian Chengyu was thinking in his heart, and looked at the gate of Qingfeng Palace with vague eyes, looking forward to someone's appearance.

"General Liancheng returned victoriously this time, and quelled the turmoil of the barbarians. It is really indispensable. Emperor, you should reward him well. It will not be in vain for General Liancheng to stay away from the capital for so many years and protect his family and country!"

The empress dowager said, she looked at Lian Chengyu, who was so talented and imposing, and she became more and more satisfied. Such an excellent man should not be taken advantage of by others casually. She had to think carefully about how to follow him. Shuang'er made a pair.

Lian Chengyu, who didn't know that he had been missed by the empress dowager at all, heard that the empress dowager called his name, and quickly and calmly withdrew his gaze towards the gate of Qingfeng Palace, stood up, and said Langlang: "The empress dowager Seriously, defending the family and the country is the responsibility of the general, and the general dare not use it as a reason for claiming credit. I thank the empress dowager for her kindness."

The attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing and his calm and calm posture made the empress dowager sitting above admire him a little more, and she was even more sure in her heart that she would pair him with the eldest princess of Yue Kingdom——Leng Yueshuang My son's ideas and plans.

Leng Yueshuang, who was far away in a certain palace, sneezed inexplicably, pulled the cloak on her body, and thought to herself: Should she wear more?In this kind of weather, if one accidentally catches a cold, one will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being forced to drink those dark, bitter soups, how hard it is!

As everyone knows, why is she wearing less clothes?She was clearly missed by her most beloved imperial grandmother.

"General Liancheng, what you said is wrong. It is your responsibility to defend your family and the country, and it is also the common responsibility of everyone. It is expected that you will be rewarded by the emperor. It’s not easy for the emperor to do anything.”

Half compliment and half threat, sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot. Although the empress dowager is getting old, she is not unfamiliar at all with her way of judging people.

Now that the empress dowager has said so, if Lian Chengyu speaks again, it will be his fault, then tonight's celebration banquet will inevitably end badly, and he will not be so stupid as to joke about his own future.

Lian Chengyu smiled, looked at Leng Yuemu and the Empress Dowager who were sitting in the upper seat, and said loudly: "Then it's better to be respectful than obey your orders. Lian Chengyu would like to thank the Emperor and the Empress Dowager for their great love."

The empress dowager nodded in satisfaction, smiled, turned her head and said to Leng Yuemu: "Emperor, didn't you complain to me a few days ago that the former head of the bodyguard in the Yue Kingdom Palace resigned because of family accidents?" , leading to the vacancy of the post of chief guard in the palace, is this a headache?"

Leng Yuemu nodded, already understood the empress dowager's plan and meaning, and said following her words: "Yes, this problem has troubled my grandson for a long time."

"I see, General Liancheng Yu Liancheng is a rare young talent, a rare and excellent talent, why don't you simply arrange for him to fill this vacancy?"

"What the emperor's grandmother said is very true, so I hereby announce that Liancheng Yu will be granted the imperial seal, and General Liancheng will be the head of the bodyguard in the Yue Kingdom Palace, and he will take up his post tomorrow."

As soon as Leng Yuemu's calm and reasonable words fell, all the civil and military officials who sat down were silent for a few seconds, all of them were shocked.

Everyone knows what the position of chief guard in the Yue Kingdom Palace means—it is a position that controls one-third of the entire Yue Kingdom's military strength, and it also symbolizes that Leng Yuemu really trusts Lian Chengyu. One-third of the huge army of Yue Kingdom was delivered to him without hesitation.

"The end will follow the order."

Lian Chengyu's expression still didn't change at all, he just bent slightly, nodded and accepted the seal, as if he was not affected at all by the supreme glory that suddenly fell on him.

Just at this time--

"Lord Leng is here!"

A familiar sharp voice suddenly sounded again, and everyone turned their heads to look at the entrance of Qingfeng Palace...

Lian Chengyu was no exception. He followed everyone's gaze towards the gate of the Qingfeng Palace, and when the tall and straight figure that was still as familiar as in his memory was reflected in his eyes even though he hadn't seen it for many years, he was calm. There was finally some emotion in the depths of his eyes.
