The Empress Dowager took the handkerchief handed to her by the nanny and wiped away her tears.
"I am so happy!"
At noon, An Li and his companions had lunch in the palace and then returned home.
Back in the bedroom, Ming Wenqing coaxed his daughter to sleep and said, "Madam, the Emperor said that General Yun Hui will be returning to the capital in three days."
"Ming Yuanhong will also come back by then."
Ming Yuanhong was Li Yujiao's eldest son, who was engaged to the daughter of the Minister of Rites.
Last year, during a conflict with another country's army, he saved General Yunhui.
He was appreciated by General Yunhui and promoted to the seventh rank Zhiguo Cavalry Captain.
At the age of seventeen, he was already a leader among his peers to have obtained this rank.
For a long time, it was a glorious time.
"Three days later?"
"General Yunhui has been stationed at the border for five or six years and hasn't returned to the capital."
"Why are you back this year?"
An Li was puzzled.
"Madam, have you forgotten? The spirit of Xiyuan appeared this year to bless us. The emperor specially summoned him back."
Ming Wenqing took his wife's hand and said.
In just half a day, Emperor Yongwu issued an edict, and the whole city welcomed General Yunhui back to the capital.
The entire Yongjing City was filled with a joyous atmosphere!
Three days later.
Early in the morning, the city gates were opened with the sound of gongs and drums.
The people stood on both sides of the street, welcoming and waiting for the soldiers to return.
This year's winter is colder than previous years, but it does not dampen the enthusiasm of the people.
After his daughter woke up, An Li asked the maid to put thick clothes on her, and they went to Qinglong Street, the main street of Yongjing City.
Mingxin was held in her older brother's arms, dozing off while drinking milk.
I was woken up by the sound of gongs and drums before I woke up naturally in the morning.
"Xinbao, big brother will hold you, just sleep peacefully." Ming Yichu felt very distressed when he realized that his little sister was still sleepy.
After saying this, Mingxin closed her eyes and snuggled into her big brother's warm fur coat.
A pair of small hands even touched the big brother's abdominal muscles.
Ming Yichu smiled gently and waited with everyone else.
Fortunately, I brought a heater with me, so I wasn't that cold.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Mingxin woke up and still hadn’t come.
[When will you come?]
She muttered to herself and yawned.
Just listen.
"Here he comes! Here he comes! General Yunhui is back!"
"General Yunhui!"
"My son is a soldier under General Yunhui. I am proud of him."
"General, you have worked hard!"
Many people shouted.
Then a man wearing black armor and riding a big horse appeared at the city gate.
He held a long sword and had an extraordinary aura.
The long sword was shiny, but the handle was black and red, full of murderous intent.
He got closer and closer, and slowed down when he reached the city, followed by four of his men on horseback.
At the end were the soldiers arranged in a square formation.
They are mighty and domineering, with bright eyes, as if through their eyes you can see the scene of bravely killing enemies on the battlefield.
Ming Yuanhong, the one riding a horse among the four, looked extremely proud.
An Li saw Li Yujiao and knew that Li Yujiao's backer had returned.
Looking closely, Ming Yuanhong and Ming Wenyong really look like father and son.
Ming Yuanbo is not like that, but he is somewhat similar to Ming Yuanhong.
General Yunhui in front was riding his horse slowly forward, enjoying the respect and care of the people.
The four people behind him are also highly respected.
[snort! ]
[I'll give you the glory! I won't let you be proud!]
[I'll make you unlucky!]
Ming Xin snorted and moved her little hand, and Ming Yuanhong lost his grip on the reins and fell off the horse!
And he landed face down on the ground!
The onlookers exclaimed! What's going on?
How come someone else fell off the horse?
Feeling the people's incredible looks, Ming Yuanhong quickly got up from the ground.
His face was slightly hot. How could he make such a low-level mistake in such a situation?
He jumped up and stepped on the footrest, intending to sit down again.
suddenly.
Something warm covered his face.
His eyes went dark and he suddenly couldn't see.
In a panic, he lost his grip on the reins and fell again.
The horses were hurt by the pull, neighed, and lost their formation.
All the people in the city looked at Ming Yuanhong!
Even Emperor Yongwu, who was waiting at the entrance of Xuanwu Tower, saw it.
Such a thing happened in such a serious occasion. Emperor Yongwu frowned slightly.
Immediately, a father-in-law went to check.
Ming Yuanhong was hurt by the fall and hissed as he quickly wiped the things off his face.
There are black and white spots on my hands, and they smell a bit bad.
"quack."
A big bird flew across the sky.
Ming Yuanhong immediately realized that a bird had hit his face.
With a gloomy look in his eyes, he stood up from the ground and prepared to mount his horse.
But he found that his horse had gone far away, and General Yun Hui was looking at him with impatience.
Ming Yuanhong felt a panic in his heart. He had never felt this nervous when he was fighting in the battlefield. He hurried to catch up.
When he was about to turn over and get on the horse again, the horse kicked him with its hoof.
Fortunately, he dodged in time and was kicked, although he was not killed, he was crippled.
At this time, the eunuch beside Emperor Yongwu also arrived.
Everyone looked Ming Yuanhong over and over again, "Your Majesty is displeased, so don't cause any more trouble. Let's wait and go again."
Ming Yuanhong's face turned pale, and he could only respectfully say to the eunuch: "Thank you, eunuch, for the reminder."
Afterwards, he followed the team of soldiers. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He was usually very lucky, so why was he so unlucky today when he just returned to Beijing?
He looked into the crowd, searching for his father and mother.
After a while, he saw it.
However, I couldn’t understand what my parents were saying in their lip reading.
He did not dare to turn his head too much, for fear of being discovered by Emperor Yongwu and his ministers.
[Hahahahaha!]
[I'll let you show off! Get struck by lightning!]
[I am your retribution!]
Ming Xin giggled. It was hard not to be disliked by others when such serious scenes kept going wrong.
An Li, Ming Yichui and others also tried to hold back their laughter. Xinbao was really good at playing tricks on people.
A quarter of an hour later, General Yun Hui arrived at the entrance of Xuanwu Tower.
"Your Highness, long live the Emperor."
General Yun Hui got off his horse, and the three men and a group of soldiers behind him also knelt down and shouted.
The common people on both sides, as well as the ladies and daughters of each family, also knelt down, and the sound was heart-shaking.
Emperor Yongwu was delighted and personally helped General Yunhui up, "Everyone, stand up."
"General Yun, you have had a long journey. I have prepared a banquet for you and all the soldiers. Please enter the palace."
"Thank you for your grace." General Yun said with his hands clasped.
Emperor Yongwu entered the palace first.
"General Ming, it's been a long time since we last met." General Yun smiled majestically and patted Ming Wenqing's arm.
He and Ming Wenqing have been friends for many years regardless of age.
"Let's go to the palace together." Ming Wenqing also laughed.
After they went in, there came the ministers and their families.
When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Yongwu was already sitting in the main seat.
There were 108 eight-person tables on both sides, covered with cotton satin and silk, which was extremely gorgeous.
