Chapter 259 Triumphal Return
The army returned to the capital, but the infantry walked. By the time they arrived in the capital, a month had passed.
It was March, and the spring breeze was warm.
Although the people in the capital had not taken off their winter clothes, they were not wearing that thick clothes, and only needed a thin jacket to keep out the cold.
On the second day of March, the soldiers who fought against the invasion of the Ice and Snow Country finally returned triumphantly.
The Feng family had received a letter from home a long time ago, and the men of the Feng family were going home today.
Yun Ranqing had already reserved the best teahouse location, and he would personally bring the women of the Feng family to watch the soldiers triumphantly enter the city.
There were no men in the Feng family, so his apprentice took on the responsibilities of a man.
This morning, Yun Ranqing came to the Feng Mansion early and personally led the women of the Feng family to the teahouse. Even the pregnant Chen Huizhu did not fall behind.
They stood on the building, overlooking the main street of the capital.
The streets were filled with colorful flags, gongs and drums, and a bustling crowd. People flocked to both sides of the street, waiting for the arrival of the soldiers.
Finally, the sound of horse hooves and the cheers of the people outside the city gate came from the distance.
This time, Yun Hongxiao brought all the civil and military officials to personally welcome him out of the city.
Feng Zuwen saw the emperor at the city gate from a distance, and immediately rode forward and jumped off the horse.
He hurried forward and knelt on one knee: "I have fulfilled my mission, defeated the Ice and Snow Country, recovered the city lost by my Flame, and captured two cities from the enemy country."
"Haha, my good brother, please stand up quickly." Yun Hongxiao personally stepped forward to help him up, "In the future, you don't need to kneel down to see me, just stand and talk."
This honor, who can match it!
"Let's go, take the soldiers into the city, the people are waiting to cheer for you."
Five hundred iron cavalry followed Feng Zuwen in glory and marched in a neat line to the city gate.
Yun Hongxiao and Feng Zuwen rode side by side, and the prince fell behind half a step.
Feng Zuwen wanted to fall behind half a step, but Yun Hongxiao always walked side by side with him.
Yun Ranqing and the women of the Feng family looked towards the city gate excitedly, and saw a mighty army slowly approaching.
The soldiers were wearing armor, holding weapons, and their faces were filled with smiles of victory. Although the horses under their crotches were a little tired, their eyes flashed with a firm light like their masters.
From a distance, Feng Tianxing saw his father riding on a black horse. On the left was the emperor uncle, on the right was the prince uncle, and behind him were the prince brother and his eldest and second brothers.
At this moment, the whole capital was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and celebration.
Yun Ranqing and the women of the Feng family were also infected by this spectacular scene, and their hearts were filled with excitement and pride.
They knew that these soldiers had made great efforts and sacrifices for the peace of the country and the people's well-being.
Now, they finally returned triumphantly and became the pride and honor of the entire capital.
When the army arrived at the teahouse, the women of the Feng family stood up one after another, waving their scarves and bouquets, and gave the soldiers the warmest cheers.
"Daddy, Daddy." Feng Tianxing shouted at the top of her voice.
In the midst of the clamor, Feng Zuwen heard the voice of his concubine.
He tilted his head to the side of the teahouse, and sure enough, he saw the concubine he had missed for a long time waving to him enthusiastically.
"Your Majesty, my concubine is there, and I want to take her for a ride." Feng Zuwen said to Yun Hongxiao beside him.
"Go ahead."
Feng Zuwen did not rush forward, but stretched out his hand to make a hugging gesture.
Feng Tianxing knew what her father meant at a glance, and flew down from the second floor and landed directly on Feng Zuwen's chest.
"Daddy, I miss you so much."
Hearing this, Feng Zuwen's heart melted. It turned out that he was not the only one who missed her, but his daughter also missed him.
The people around who saw this scene exclaimed "Wow".
I didn't expect that Miss Feng's martial arts were so powerful.
She is indeed the daughter of a military general.
"Sister, don't you miss your brother?" Feng Yuanhan, who was walking behind, took a step forward and looked at Feng Tianxing and asked with a smile.
"I miss my second brother and my eldest brother, too."
"Your Majesty, I miss my wife, too. Can you bring her along to enjoy this honor with me?" Feng Yuanhan didn't bother to argue. He had already seen Chen Huizhu's head at the window, looking at him and smiling at him.
Big brother, I'm sorry.
He's just a military commander, so it shouldn't matter if he's not particular about details.
He saw that his big brother was just looking at his sister-in-law affectionately.
He didn't want to just feast his eyes.
"Sure, you ask her to come down too." Yun Hongxiao joked with a smile.
He knew that Feng Yuanhan's wife was the girl who loved to practice martial arts the most in General Chen's family.
Feng Yuanhan rode his horse to the window and waved to Chen Huizhu, motioning her to jump down.
But Chen Huizhu just smiled at him, waved her hand, and motioned him to quickly catch up with the team.
Feng Yuanhan was not willing to give up, so he jumped up and climbed out of the window.
"You ignorant boy, be careful not to scare Huizhu." Song Shuqing scolded immediately.
"Mom, the child is back." Feng Yuanhan hurriedly greeted his mother and looked at Chen Huizhu.
This look was terrible, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Zhuzhu, what's wrong with you? Why is your belly so big? Do you have some strange disease?"
Feng Yuanhan was really scared and reached out to touch Chen Huizhu's belly.
"You silly child, how can you talk like that? Haven't you seen your sister-in-law pregnant? Huizhu is pregnant with your child." Song Shuqing said unhappily, and patted his hand to stop him from touching.
"What? Why didn't you write to tell me?"
One second in hell, one second in heaven, that was exactly how Feng Yuanhan felt at that moment.
Feng Yuanhan's eyes widened and brightened, staring at Chen Huizhu's belly with a burning gaze.
"I'm going to be a father?" Feng Yuanhan finally thought of this key point.
Then he hugged Chen Huizhu tightly from the side.
"Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu!"
Chen Huizhu just looked up at him with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness.
She no longer wanted to argue like before.
Feng Yuanhan's mood at this moment was nothing like winning a battle. He was so happy that he was about to fly.
Several people watched him excitedly for a while, and then Song Shuqing stepped forward to pull him away.
"Okay, go back to the team, you've gone far away. We'll have a good talk as a family tonight." Song Shuqing reminded.
"Wait for me." Feng Yuanhan didn't care whether it was in front of his mother and sister-in-law or not, and kissed Chen Huizhu on the forehead directly.
"Yeah." Chen Huizhu only uttered "Yeah" during the whole process, and then looked at her man, and disappeared again.
Several people stuck their heads out of the window again, watching the team going away.
And Yun Ranqing was just a background board from beginning to end.
Seeing his brother coming back with a silly smile, Feng Yuanhao asked curiously: "Didn't you want to bring your sister-in-law with you? Why didn't you bring them?"
Feng Yuanhan didn't answer, just smiled silly. Then he felt a little resentful in his heart, why didn't Zhuzhu write to tell him, and actually kept such a big thing from him.
Along the way, the cheers of the people were incessant until the team entered the palace.
After entering the palace, the soldiers were led to Minghe Hall, and the palace had already prepared wine and food to entertain them.
And Feng Tianxing was led by Feng Zuwen and followed several ministers into the study behind Yun Hongxiao.
