Chapter 298 Wedding Date
To be honest, Prince Jing hadn't thought that far in the beginning. After all, no one could be sure of the outcome of this war. However, the 700 war horses he had plundered from Northern Qi completely opened his mind, allowing him to generously spare Wuli's life.
What if I could exchange it for something else? This was Prince Jing’s simple and casual thought at the time.
Who would have thought that they would get two thousand more war horses and two more horse farms!
Unlike the flourishing capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the distant north still had howling cold winds and flying snowflakes, and even colder than the weather was the mood of the Emperor of Qi.
"You mean, you have always been in the hands of the Zhou people?" The Emperor of Qi stared at Wuli who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes wishing they could turn into a knife to cut flesh from his body.
In terms of age, Emperor Qi was about the same age as Emperor Tai'an, and he was even taller and more muscular. However, his face was yellow and his eyes were dark blue. It was obvious that he had not slept well for some days and looked very haggard.
Wuli is still confused.
After he was captured by Qi Shuo, the prince of Prince Jing, he never saw the sun again. After he finally returned to his side, he said that his uncle was dead and was killed by him. He was exchanged back twice and was the sinner who caused Qi to seek peace.
"If I dare to deceive the emperor, I will never be reborn!"
Seeing that Wuli swore and refused to admit his mistake, the Emperor of Qi sent people to investigate.
Now that the war had ceased, the benefits had been collected, and Northern Qi was in chaos, there was no need to hide the fact that Prince Jing had taken such a risk alone. With General Xu's deliberate disclosure, the Northern Qi spies soon learned the truth.
When the Emperor of Qi learned the truth, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
After returning to the capital, Emperor Tai'an had a pleasant conversation with Prince Jing and finally allowed the father and son to return to the palace.
After leaving the palace, Prince Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "I am so tired."
Qi Shuo is still energetic and stands tall.
Prince Jing looked at his son and couldn't help but sigh: "It's still good to be young."
Before I knew it, the impression that the eldest son was weak and sickly disappeared.
Prince Jing's Mansion was not far from the imperial city, and the father and son soon saw a group of people waiting eagerly outside the gate of the mansion.
Princess Jing, who was in the lead, walked over quickly, her eyes red as she smiled at the father and son: "You're finally back—"
Prince Jing held Princess Jing's hand, his voice a little excited: "Let's talk inside."
A group of people walked into the palace in a mighty procession. Prince Jing completely relaxed: "I will take a shower and change clothes first."
"Everything is ready." Princess Jing looked at Qi Shuo.
"Son, go wash up first."
"Go, go. If you feel too tired, take a nap after taking a bath."
Princess Jing worried about her husband and son day and night, and felt sorry for the hardships they had to endure in the north. But today, when she saw her son in good spirits, her heartache was a little reduced.
These father and son...seemed pretty good. Not only did Shuo'er look better, but the prince was actually fatter than when he left Beijing!
On the other hand, both he and Qiong'er had lost a lot of weight, and even Huan'er, who was always lively and outgoing, had become more stable.
Prince Jing and Qi Shuo went to wash up separately, while Princess Jing sat in the hall with Qi Huan and Qi Qiong waiting.
"Father and elder brother seem to be fine." Qi Huan smiled. The safe return of his father and brother made him completely put his worries aside.
Yeah, I’ll feel like going to Jinshui River again!
"It's much better than I thought." Waiting was boring, so Princess Jing asked the maid to bring some fragrant roasted melon seeds to pass the time.
Prince Jing came in after washing up first, and saw the mother and her two children eating melon seeds.
He paused for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable.
When he was not in the capital, the princess and her two children were like this?
"Is Your Highness hungry?" When Prince Jing arrived, Princess Jing naturally had no time to eat melon seeds.
Prince Jing sat down and waved his hand: "I just ate in the palace, I'm not hungry at all."
Princess Jing asked a bunch of questions, such as whether Qi Shuo was injured, whether his injury was real, and what his food and accommodation were like...
Prince Jing spoke dryly, but when he saw Qi Shuo coming in, he was shocked: "Shuo'er, come here quickly. Your mother has a lot to ask you."
Qi Shuo's mouth twitched slightly, but he still walked over honestly.
Looking at her son, who looked even more handsome after bathing and changing clothes, Princess Jing's eyes were particularly soft: "When we first heard the news of your injury, our family was terribly worried."
"My son is in trouble. I'm sorry to have worried you and your brothers and sisters. It's just a minor injury. We told everyone it was serious in order to complete the plan smoothly..."
Princess Jing was completely relieved: "That's good. Shuo'er, please tell me what happened in the Qi army camp."
Qi Shuo glanced at Prince Jing and received the helpless look from his old father.
He was never a rebellious child, so he spoke patiently to make his mother happy.
Princess Jing and Qi Huan and his sister listened with great interest, and even Prince Jing was entranced.
He had never asked so carefully before, so the answer he got was naturally brief.
After discussing the events in the north, Princess Jing mentioned the important events in the capital: "Not long ago, that person was escorted to the capital. The emperor made him a king and gave him a garden for him and his son to live in."
This refers to Emperor Pingle.
"So, big brother and Qi Ming were imprisoned together?" Upon hearing this news, Prince Jing's expression was a little complicated.
He spared the lives of the old emperor and the old prince, and gave them decent titles, but imprisoned the father and son who were resentful of each other together. I don't know whether to say that the fourth brother has a good heart or a bad heart.
Fortunately, fortunately, he is just the fifth one.
"What arrangements did Master Mingxin make?" Qi Shuo knew Lin Hao's feelings for Master Mingxin and asked proactively.
Princess Jing smiled and said, "Master Mingxin has resumed his position as the Imperial Master."
Prince Jing was surprised: "I didn't see him at the banquet today."
"It seems he went into seclusion shortly after returning to the capital." Princess Jing was clearly not very interested in the topic of Master Mingxin. She glanced at her eldest son and said, "Shuo'er, you're back so soon. Did Second Miss Lin have time to finish reading that brick of yours?"
Facing his mother's teasing, Qi Shuo remained calm: "Ah Hao reads fast."
Qi Qiong covered her mouth and laughed.
Only Prince Jing and Qi Huan were confused and asked in unison: "What bricks?"
Princess Jing glanced at the father and son with disdain: "Why would a man be curious about these things?"
Prince Jing and Qi Huan:?
"Shuo'er, if you're not tired, go to the General's Mansion first. The General's Mansion has been worried about you during your time in the north. Now that you're back, you can't lose your manners."
Qi Shuo smiled and responded: "Son, I'll be there right away."
As soon as Qi Shuo left, Qi Huan and Qi Qiong could no longer stay. When only the couple were left in the hall, Prince Jing said, "It's time to prepare for Shuo'er's wedding. The emperor said today that he should get married soon."
Princess Jing smiled when she heard this: "Since the Emperor has said so, there's nothing to worry about. It'll be hot later, too, so why not this month?"
Previously, they couldn't hold a wedding because of the prince's death, but now that the mourning period has passed, and with the emperor's permission, there is naturally nothing to worry about.
"Okay, this month, Princess, please tell the General's Mansion as soon as possible."
So the wedding date of Qi Shuo and Lin Hao was set.
