"Soldiers, please stand up quickly! You have been stationed in the northern border for many years, protecting our northern border's safety. Thank you for your hard work!"
"This is the duty of our subjects, and we have fulfilled it!"
“Okay, okay!”
The emperor laughed out loud.
The northern border is stable, and he feels happy from the bottom of his heart.
Holding Zong Zheng's arm, he was the first to step into the palace gate:
"I've prepared a celebration banquet. Soldiers, feel free to drink as much as you want today. We won't leave until we're drunk!"
All the soldiers cheered in unison: "Don't go home until you're drunk! Don't go home until you're drunk!"
The cheers resounded throughout the entire capital, causing the common people who heard them to smile knowingly.
The men gathered in groups of three or five, called their friends, took out the fine wine they had collected for many years, and drank happily.
The women also gathered together with the young sisters, excitedly expressing their admiration for the bravery of our young men.

The celebration banquet was held at Jueming Terrace.
A group of officials entered the venue first with their wives.
Zong Zheng was quickly surrounded by a circle of people, some flattering him, some trying to curry favor with him, some trying to build relationships with him...
Overall, everyone seemed very friendly.
Zong Zheng responded absentmindedly.
The hall suddenly became quiet until the shouts of "The Emperor has arrived, Concubine Guo has arrived" were heard.
All the officials knelt down:
"Your Majesty, your servants, we pay our respects to you. Long live your Majesty! We pay our respects to Concubine Guo!"
"My dear ministers, please stand up!"
The emperor held Xin Guoguo's hand and carefully protected the little girl at all times.
The little girl looked at these important officials with curiosity, but in her heart she was confirming with the little fur ball:
"Little fur ball, look, which one of these is Prince Rong?"
There were heads kneeling on the ground. Please forgive her for feeling a little dizzy at this moment.
The little fur ball looked very serious, and after looking at it for a long time, he said:
[Host, this question is beyond the scope! In the eyes of our system, you humans all look the same!]
Xin Guoguo: ...
"I'm not a human!"
I know!
Xin Guoguo's face wrinkled, she felt that the conversation just now was a little strange, but if she could put her finger on what was wrong, it didn't seem to be...
Since Xiaomaotuanzi couldn't be relied upon, Xin Guoguo could only rely on her own memory to find Xin Rou's face.
But those little girls were all dressed up beautifully, and she looked at them for a long time but couldn't tell which one was Xin Rou.
Xin Guoguo: (=_=)
Tired! Destroy!
Until she sat down next to the emperor and looked at the people who had already taken their seats one by one, Xin Guoguo had no choice but to ask the emperor for help.
She sat upright with a serious expression, but her little mouth moved as she asked the emperor in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, which one is Prince Rong?"
The emperor was amused, but he also imitated the little girl, sitting upright and saying:
"We're the third one in the first row on the right."
Xin Guoguo counted in order.
He met Xin Rou's gaze.
There was shock in those eyes, as well as a hint of fear and hatred.
Xing Guoguo: (~_~;)
Where's the eye roll? Where's her eye roll?
This thing stole someone's identity, why should I hate her?!
Prince Rong had also heard before that the emperor had recently favored a palace maid who climbed into his bed and had even made her a concubine.
I didn't expect the emperor to bring someone here today.
He took a curious look, but was suddenly stunned.
This girl is exactly the same as the girl in his dream!
But the girl in front of me had a bright smile and was petite and looked very cute.
But the girl in the dream was full of despair and dead silent.
Sensing that something was wrong with Prince Rong, Xin Rou didn't bother to confront Xin Guoguo anymore, and hurriedly hugged Prince Rong's arm and acted coquettishly:
"Father, what are you looking at? Do you think Concubine Guo is beautiful? I think she is beautiful too!
"Father, you don't know, right? She is the biological daughter of Xin's parents! I never thought that she is actually the legendary Concubine Guo!
"But since she's already a concubine, and Xin's parents are in such a state, why wouldn't she help? ... My daughter is talking nonsense. I guess she's unaware of it, right?"
