Huo Jinxiu came to call them to dinner, and they separated as if they had just woken up from a dream.
After calming down, they walked out one after another and went to the courtyard to eat.
At the dining table, everyone was talking happily. When they saw Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian come in, they glanced at them and started eating.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Huo Jinqian lived in Murong Shuo's west wing. He discussed academic matters with Murong Shuo for a while, and then the two separated and went back to their respective rooms to sleep.
Lying in bed, I couldn't fall asleep. The image of the kiss just now kept appearing in my mind, making the heat that had subsided surge up again. I couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning.
I suppressed my impatience and started reading thesis strategies, trying my best not to think about her.
On the other side, Gao Zhijun spent some time chatting with her mother before returning to her room. She lay on the bed, trying to fall asleep, but her mind couldn't help but recall the kiss scene.
【Remember to breathe when you kiss next time! 】
What does he mean? He wants to kiss her a second time? He’s really good at teasing. He’s so shy! Gao Zhijun blushed and her heart beat too fast.
What's going on? I usually fall asleep easily. As soon as I lie down on the bed, I'm asleep in less than half an hour.
But what happened today? It’s been a quarter of an hour and I still can’t sleep. The scene of the kiss just now keeps repeating in my mind, making it impossible to fall asleep.
The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. I couldn't sleep. I had no choice but to lie in bed, counting sheep over and over, but I still couldn't fall asleep.
Both Huo Jinqian and Gao Zhijun fell asleep in the middle of the night, and both woke up with panda eyes.
Gao Zhijun sat at her dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror. She was so haggard and her eyes were red and swollen that she was shocked. Wasn't it just a little late? How did she end up like this?
She put on makeup to cover up her haggard face, but she couldn't hide her red and swollen eyes, so she had to go out with them.
Huo Jinqian and Gao Zhijun met in the courtyard. They looked at each other's red and swollen eyes and turned around involuntarily. They didn't dare to let the other see their eyes, and they couldn't let the other know that they couldn't sleep last night because they thought about the kiss, otherwise it would be a big deal.
They entered the yard one after another and everyone was already waiting.
Looking at the two people's panda eyes, everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh secretly.
The two of them were so restless during breakfast that they couldn't enjoy the food.
After breakfast, everyone went out to read the latest news, except Huo Jinqian, who had to review his lessons at home.
Today is the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the General of Cavalry return triumphantly. The people of the capital got up early in the morning and lined up to welcome them.
The emperor was waiting at the palace gate with civil and military officials early in the morning.
Murong Yuanbo and the prince rode their horses slowly into the streets of the capital.
"Congratulations, His Royal Highness, on your triumphant return!"
"Congratulations to the Valiant Cavalry General on your triumphant return!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is valiant! He bravely defeated the Tatar barbarians!"
"The valiant general was so brave and defeated the Tartar barbarians. He is our great hero!"
"Congratulations to our God of War, who has once again been invincible, slaughtered all before him, and returned triumphantly!"
"God of War! God of War! I love you!"
"God of War! God of War, you are our hero!"
The people's shouts became louder and louder, and they became more and more excited. Especially the women, who were basically screaming.
Murong Yuanbo sat on his horse, calmly waving to the people on both sides with a smile.
He just calmly waved his hand in response to the people's madness. He was also indifferent to the woman's screams and words of admiration.
The prince's face was stiff from smiling, he could hardly hold it together, and it was really uncomfortable to keep smiling.
The soldiers brought back by the prince returned to the military camp outside the capital, and those who entered the capital were generals and adjutants of high rank.
When the team arrived at the palace gate, Murong Yuanbo, the prince and other generals dismounted and saluted the emperor.
"Your Majesty, your sons and ministers pay their respects to you. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long, long live the Emperor!"
"Everyone, please stand up!"
The emperor waved his hand and asked them to stand up.
"Thank you, Lord!"
The prince led everyone up.
"My dear ministers, you have traveled all this way and worked hard! This battle was fought beautifully, and I am deeply pleased. I will give you two days of leave. The day after tomorrow, when you come to court, I will reward you according to your merits!"
The emperor said to Murong Yuanbo and other generals.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Murong Yuanbo said with his generals.
"My dear ministers, please kneel down and pay your respects!"
The emperor said.
"I will take my leave!"
Murong Yuanbo left with the General of Cavalry and others.
The emperor got on his sedan chair and prepared to return to the palace. The prince followed on horseback, and all the civil and military officials knelt to pay their respects to the emperor.
"Your Highness is here to see you off."
Only after the emperor left did the ministers dare to disperse and return to their work.
The prince followed the emperor back to the imperial study.
"Your Highness, you have worked hard this time. What reward do you want?"
The emperor sat down and asked the prince.
"Father, your Majesty, it's not hard for me! This is what I, as the Crown Prince, should do."
The prince said respectfully.
"Well, the prince is right! Although this is what you should do, I will still reward you."
The emperor was very satisfied with what the prince said.
His son has a good temperament and cares about the people. He is a good candidate to be the king of a country.
"Thank you, Father!"
The prince said.
"By the way, has Yongqi come back?"
The emperor asked the prince. Yongqi is Huo Jinqian, a name given by the emperor.
"Replying to Father, I am back! I am back with your son."
The prince spoke truthfully.
"I'm back. Are you staying at the General's Mansion?"
The emperor asked the prince.
"Yes, he lives in the residence of the General of Cavalry."
"Eunuch Zhang, go to the General's Mansion tomorrow and bring Yongqi to the palace to see me. Don't let anyone else know."
The emperor instructed Eunuch Zhang to speak.
"twitter!"
Eunuch Zhang immediately accepted the order.
The prince told the emperor what happened in the military camp and also explained the power of the ten-barrel crossbow and the grenade.
The emperor was amazed after hearing this, and he wanted to try the power of the ten-shot crossbow and the grenade.
The two chatted for two hours before the prince left the imperial study to visit his mother and then returned to the prince's residence.
