Chapter 480 Being Beaten
Three days later.
The Prime Minister of Qin led all the officials to go out of the city thirty miles to welcome back the brave soldiers of Dayu.
Outside the city gate, the royal family, led by Prince An, were eagerly waiting for the king's return.
When they entered the city, the entire capital was in an uproar. Everyone lined the streets to welcome them, and the soldiers were deeply moved by their enthusiasm.
After serving in the army for so many years, I have been warmly congratulated by all the civil and military officials in the court and welcomed with smiles by the common people. This is the first time I have been treated like this!
The soldiers who had always been lazy and sloppy could not help but hold their heads high and chests puffed out, proudly showing the glory of their iron-blooded army to everyone.
In fact, to be honest, ordinary people generally don’t care who sits on the dragon throne. As long as he can bring a stable life, he is a good emperor.
However, Emperor Chengde was an exception.
Although he himself is not good at being an emperor, he can be a general!
Not only did he personally lead the army to drive out the invading enemy, he also directly attacked the enemy's hometown. How many emperors can be so awesome?
The hero returns triumphantly, and the whole world celebrates!
Outside the palace gate, the empress took the eldest prince, a group of old concubines and all the female officials and ladies in the court, waiting for the hero to return.
When the sun was about to climb to the top of the palace, the palace finally welcomed its owner back.
"I bow to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
"Hahahahaha, everyone, stand up! Thank you all for taking the time to welcome us. Hahahahaha, you scared me with such a big scene. Hurry up, get up!"
"Thank you, Emperor!"
After exchanging pleasantries outside, the emperor and his ministers happily entered the palace together, where a sumptuous celebration banquet was waiting for them.
However, the Roe Deer Emperor is an exception.
After the celebration banquet, those who were rewarded for their merits all went back happily with the honor.
Then, the excitement in the palace officially began.
After finding an opportunity to carry someone on his back, Li Chengxiu couldn't wait to rush to Jiang Wan and Li Rui in two steps, and hugged his babies in his arms.
"Wife, I'm back!"
The chubby kid stuck in the middle struggled out a fat little hand, grabbed his father's face and pushed him back.
"Father, I am about to be crushed!"
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Gousheng, Dad was so excited that he didn't notice you for a moment..."
Well said, it would be better if you didn't say it.
Li Rui had a cold face and didn't want to talk.
Jiang Wan struggled to break free from the bear hug, successfully taking himself and his son out of the other's arms, and asked with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
"Your Majesty, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Hey, what's wrong with you, wife?"
The queen, who had never called herself a concubine, frightened the emperor so much that his heart was trembling.
"It's nothing, I just think it's not easy for Your Majesty to be away on a campaign. If you really have any other thoughts, please feel free to tell me."
"Really? Can you accommodate it?"
The emperor's eyes lit up with surprise, and it was obvious that he was truly delighted. Then, the queen's fist hardened.
"So you really have a crush on someone?"
"Yes, yes, I do!"
The ignorant thing nodded its head, and half of its face, with its mouth wide open, was faintly marked with the mark of a slap.
The last glimmer of hope was shattered by this man himself, and the pain and sadness in Jiang Wan's heart slowly turned into anger and hatred.
“Why bring it back?
Can't you just keep it a secret?
Can't you keep it a secret for the sake of the child?"
Those long-forgotten memories in my mind suddenly rushed out unscrupulously.
In her previous life, her father brought a woman home to have an affair and was caught by her mother, and things got out of control.
That's why there is such a pitiful Jiang Wan.
Now, is her son about to follow in her footsteps?
Jiang Wanhen's fingers were trembling, but he saw that the other party was still asking with a smile.
"It was Xu Hui who gave you the message, right?
Hahaha, I knew telling him in advance would definitely work. I agreed that he would plead for me, so you’re not allowed to hit me!
Jiang Wan walked to the door with no expression on his face, gently handed Li Rui to Hongzhu who looked worried, then turned around and kicked the door shut.
Hongxiu stood outside the door with red eyes, wiping tears sadly and muttering to herself while crying.
"Don't hit my face, please don't hit my face!"
A moment later, a familiar howling sound was heard in the house.
"Didn't you promise not to hit me?
Ouch, that hurts.
Wife, put down the feather duster!"
Li Chengxiu, who was caught off guard and hit several times, ran away while covering his wounds and his head, while defending himself angrily.
“If you didn’t say anything just now, could you tolerate it?
I've lived my whole life without visiting prostitutes or gambling, so is it okay if I develop a hobby of teasing birds?
I know I've lost myself in this world of toys, but you don't know how much that little thing attracts people. If you saw it, I guarantee you wouldn't want to let it go!"
"I can't bear to kill a ghost. I'll kill you...you...you, Dou Niao?"
Jiang Wan suddenly reacted and retracted the feather duster that was aimed at the opponent's throat in time, and asked with a slight stutter.
"...fight...what kind of bird?"
"They say it's called a parrot, and it can talk like a mynah bird. But it's much prettier than a mynah bird, and it's as colorful as a phoenix. And it's got a really smart little brain. It knows how to praise me for being a good person every day. It's so adorable!"
Li Chengxiu hid behind the table with his head in his hands. When he saw his wife's murderous feather duster stopped, he begged for mercy in a wronged manner.
"I know I've lost myself in pleasure, and you're right to be angry. But wife, let's make a deal, can you please not hit me in the face?
I am a marshal after all, and I have to go to the barracks to meet up with my brothers tomorrow. If they knew I would be beaten when I got home, where would I put my face?
"Parrot?
The favorite thing you are talking about is a parrot?"
Jiang Wan was suddenly confused by this idiot, and his hand holding the feather duster loosened a little involuntarily.
"I think so. Anyway, the person who sold it to me called it a parrot. I named it Little Thing. We don't have such a thing here. I guarantee you haven't seen it before."
"...If you can explain yourself clearly, will you die?!"
Jiang Wan was so angry that he picked up the feather duster again and cursed at the idiot.
"Did you tell your cousin on purpose? He sent a letter by carrier pigeon in a hurry, which made me cry a lot. And the result is that you got a parrot?"
"hold head high?"
Li Chengxiu took a step back in fear.
“I know that spending a lot of money on small things is a waste of time, but I really like small things.
So I told him that I had made some common mistakes that all men would make, and asked him to plead for me, and if that didn't work, he could take the beating for me.
So what did he tell you?"
"You, you idiot!"
Jiang Wan, angry and annoyed, blew out another feather duster.
“I called you an idiot who couldn’t even speak clearly!
I told you to raise a parrot, raise a parrot!!!"
"Ah! Wife, spare my life..."
