Chen Yalan didn't know how to explain this matter to him, so she just told him to lead the army and move forward safely.
After recuperating in the border town for a while, Chen Yalan's wounds gradually healed. Before her body was fully recovered, she set a date to return home.
At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Yalan returned to the capital. On her way back to the city, she noticed that on the way from the border town to the capital, several cities near the border town had been somewhat depressed due to the war, but now that they had won, things were gradually getting better.
Seeing that the lives of the residents on the border have improved, Chen Yalan was very happy. She knew what peace and prosperity meant for the country. Only when the people are at peace can the country be stable.
In this way, Chen Yalan led her army all the way back to the capital from the border, and then entered the capital. She suddenly became a little uncomfortable with the prosperity of the capital.
After all, she had stayed in the border town for a while. The desolation of the border town and the prosperity of Kyoto formed a sharp contrast, which made Chen Yalan feel a little emotional. Look, in Kyoto, these people were living in peace and prosperity, and they were extremely rich. They all lived a life of luxury like officials. But in the border town, although everyone had no worries about food and clothing, they wanted some extra money to drink and have fun, which was something very few people could do.
Shaking her head, Chen Yalan knew that sometimes, no matter how much she felt, she could only sigh and could not make any changes to the situation. Although she also hoped that any place in the country could be as prosperous as Kyoto, the differences in regions made each place different, and she was powerless to do anything about it.
"They will be back soon."
"Oh my god, I heard that the general this time is a female general."
"Yes, I heard that too. I heard that she is the daughter of General Chen Yi. It is true that a tiger father will have a dog daughter."
After entering the city gate, the streets of Kyoto were filled with people waiting for Chen Yalan to return.
They had all heard that a woman like Chen Yalan was able to win the battle and pacify Tubo, so at this moment they were all waiting here happily to welcome her.
Before Chen Yalan and others appeared, these people were whispering to each other, talking and praising Chen Yalan's achievements.
Finally, outside the wide-open city gate, a group of troops slowly came. Because the army could not enter the capital, the army only set up camp thirty miles away, and Chen Yalan rushed back with a small group of people.
"I'm back, I'm back."
"Don't block me, let me see."
"Don't push, I haven't seen it yet."
With the appearance of the army, the crowd finally reached its peak, and everyone pushed and shoved each other.
Looking at the crowds lining the road to welcome her, Chen Yalan couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes. This was the attitude of a winner. These people were indeed waiting here to welcome her.
Just like the previous custom, when they returned victorious this time, some unmarried women blushed and threw their handkerchiefs and silk flowers to the soldiers.
Although Chen Yalan was a woman, she was the leader of these soldiers and a general, so many women gave her their silk flower handkerchiefs.
Finally, Chen Yalan brought a group of her soldiers to the general's mansion. Looking at her home which she had not returned for a long time, Chen Yalan felt a little choked up in her heart.
"Father, Mother, I'm back." Chen Yalan muttered to herself as she looked at the gate of the general's mansion.
Logically speaking, Chen Yalan should have reported to the palace as soon as she returned to the capital, but because Chen Yalan was injured, Situ Yao asked her to rest in the general's mansion and return to the palace to report after she had rested.
Early in the morning, General Chen Yi knew that his daughter was about to return, so he waited at the door early.
At this moment, he finally saw his daughter whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Good boy, you have suffered a lot." General Chen Yi's eyes were also a little red. Although he raised the child as a boy, he never thought of letting the child go to the battlefield in his place.
Seeing Chen Yalan's skin becoming rough due to being in the border town, Chen Yalan's mother came forward with tears in her eyes and said, "You've suffered a lot on this trip. Okay, stop talking. Let's go in first. You should have a good rest first."
Both husband and wife knew that their daughter had returned injured this time, so they didn't dare to keep her outside talking for too long, and immediately took their daughter back to the house to rest.
General Chen Yi was even more delighted about his daughter's return from the victorious battle. He wanted to let these people know that although his daughter was a girl, she was a heroine.
So on the day Chen Yalan returned, he held a grand banquet in his house and invited some ministers and others to his home to drink and have fun.
On the one hand, it was to express his joy, and on the other hand, it was to let others know that his daughter was not an ordinary woman.
In this way, General Chen Yi entertained the guests in the front yard, while Chen Yalan's mother took Chen Yalan back to the room.
This place was the courtyard where Chen Yalan lived before she entered the palace. After Chen Yalan entered the palace, someone had been tidying this room. Therefore, when Chen Yalan returned, the room was not very dirty. Instead, it was the same as before she entered the palace.
Although Chen Yalan's mother wanted to pull Chen Yalan aside to talk to her about some personal matters, she remembered that her daughter was still injured, so she stopped disturbing her and just let her have a good rest.
In the Shangshu Mansion, Xu Chuchu had been feeling unusually well for some time, so when she told the emperor that she wanted to go home to visit her family, Situ Yao did not stop her too much and let her go.
So at this moment, Xu Chuchu was in the Shangshu Mansion, looking very superior.
However, the Shangshu and his wife both fully agreed with her appearance. Their daughter was no longer a lady from a noble family, but the emperor's woman. Naturally, she was different from before. And as the emperor's woman, what was wrong with being a little superior?
It's just her parents who think so, but others don't. Others think that although Xu Chuchu has become the emperor's woman, her status in the palace is not very high. What qualifications does she have to show off in front of them?
So after going back and forth like this, even though Xu Chuchu came back this time under the pretext of visiting her relatives, not many people came forward to make friends with her.
Xu Chuchu was naturally unhappy with those people's lack of fawning and even their deliberate alienation. She felt that her current status was many times higher than those people's, but those people didn't even know how to take advantage of this opportunity to fawn over her. It was simply stupid.
"Hmph, you must never fall into my hands in the future, otherwise you will suffer." Xu Chuchu thought to herself.
