The next day, the Jin army kept its promise and withdrew. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The corpses near the wolf city had been cleaned up, and in the blink of an eye, they had returned to their original appearance, slowly building a solid bunker in the yellow sand.
Li Yang stood on the city tower, looked at the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom who receded like a tide, and looked at it for a long time before going down the city tower.
Under the city tower, Chen Kebin has been standing here.
Li Yang saw him and slowly came over.
"Kebin, the northwest side depends on you and Li Ju. That's the only thing I can do to help you. Li Yang patted Chen Kebin's shoulder and said earnestly.
The long wind and sand covered his eyes a little, Chen Kebin sighed slightly, and said, "Does the marshal really want to do this?" Your Majesty's side, it should be possible..."
Li Yang interrupted him, he stroked the walls of the wolf city, which were still stained with a little blood that I don't know if it was the enemy or his own people, and said with a smile: "I'm already old, and it's time to go back to the capital to stay." As for His Majesty's marriage to Princess Dongyang for you, I can only help you delay it for the time being. But sooner or later, you will have to return to Beijing, and at that time, I'm afraid no one can stop you. ”
Chen Kebin's body shook, he thought of what His Majesty said at that time, and gave him a marriage to Princess Dongyang. He was a little irritated when he thought about it, he looked at Li Yang but couldn't speak anymore.
After the end of the war, many people will leave. As a marshal and a contributor to the peace talks, Li Yang naturally wanted to return to the capital. As Li Yang's son Li Ju, and a minister of the first emperor, Zhao Mu would not allow him to be on the frontier.
Only Chen Kebin, he is a rising star, and he has little to do with the Li family. After Li Yang made this suggestion, Zhao Mu thought for a while and agreed.
Since it is insignificant and he is a scholar, it is naturally better to stay.
In today's frontier, only Chen Kebin is left.
He looked at Li Yang's old back and was silent for a long time.
The journey back to Beijing can be said to be a smooth journey, since the Jin State retreated, the Great Zhou country is filled with a festive taste, every household is overjoyed, and it will not take long for the capital to resume its prosperity.
The emperor's return to Beijing, although it was a major event. But because of the peace talks, he didn't make too much noise, just sent a team of forbidden army guards, and quietly returned to the palace in the night.
Shen Qiwu sat in the carriage, quietly looking at the lights of the street market outside, silent for a long time, but came back to his senses in a light call.
"Qiwu, what's wrong with you? Why are you always absent-minded? Zhao Mu asked curiously.
Since Shen Qiwu fled back to Da Zhou, he often has a feeling of being unrelenting. Every time Zhao Mu asked her with concern, she just shook her head and said it was okay.
But recently, Shen Qiwu has been in a state of distraction more and more, which also makes Zhao Mu very worried, he is the emperor and naturally does not want his queen to become a walking corpse.
Shen Qiwu didn't shake her head this time because she spoke.
"I'm finally back at this palace."
Zhao Mu was stunned, showing a look of joy, and he sighed sincerely: "Yes, I finally came back after being away for so long, and I miss it a little." ”
Maybe he didn't hear the taste in Shen Qiwu's tone, or maybe he didn't see through the silence on Shen Qiwu's face.
Shen Qiwu looked at Zhao Mu, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
After entering the palace, Zhao Mu still had some things to deal with, and the two quickly separated.
Back at Kunning Palace, everything is still the same as when I left.
"Mother, you're back!"
As soon as she entered the inside, the maids Qiu'er and Wanqing beside Shen Qiwu saw her and saluted her happily.
It can be seen that the two of them are really happy, although there is bad news from the front line, which makes the people on Shen Qiwu's side a little sad. If the queen is gone, then Qin Ya will become the master of Kunning Palace in the future.
Now that it's okay, there is no need to endure the white eyes of the imperial concubine, and the people of Kunning Palace can raise their heads and chest again.
Shen Qiwu returned to the palace, and everything was as usual.
Dinner, make-up and freshening.
With the cooperation of the two maids, these were quickly completed, and Shen Qiwu looked in the mirror and was a little surprised by his changes.
It seems to have become a bit more mature.
Some of it is like an illusion.
Shen Qiwu smiled self-deprecatingly, but inadvertently saw a face reflected in the mirror.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, what are you talking about?"
Wanqing stood behind Shen Qiwu, looking a little speechless, but she kept cowering and didn't speak.
Wanqing knew that she couldn't hide it from Shen Qiwu, and of course she didn't think about hiding her master.
"During the period of Niangniang's absence, the concubine Niangniang has been taking care of the harem, and she was originally safe. But when the bad news came from the front line that Niangniang was captured by the Jin State, the harem changed its taste. The people on the side of the concubine have also been against us, and even the concubine has secretly acquiesced to the emergence of this phenomenon. After a long time, the slave and maid are afraid of ....."
Shen Qiwu frowned slightly, and his tone was a little stiff.
"I see."
It's just "I know."
Shen Qiwu, who was the queen, did not speak again, she looked at the bronze mirror, and Wanqing's face was a little afraid.
In the harem, nothing will never fall. Including even Shen Qiwu, no one dares to say that he can stand all the time.
His Majesty's mind is still a little immature now, but after a long time, who can guess His Majesty's mind.
A true emperor, unobtrusive.
There will even be a day when Zhao Mu may have other thoughts about Shen Qiwu. At that time, it may really be time for a change.
"It's good for her to go, aren't I coming back now?" Shen Qiwu said indifferently.
Just a "I'm back" is enough.
The fact that the queen mother is staying in Kunning Palace can explain everything, as long as the queen mother is still there, then with His Majesty's grace to Kunning Palace, the concubine will naturally not be able to set off any storms.
Shen Qiwu was a little tired, she glanced at Wanqing and Qiu'er.
"How is Huan'er doing outside the palace now?"
Huan'er was sent out of the palace by Shen Qiwu since Shen Qiwu made a decision, and married Wang Daniu, who she has always liked, and now the two have also completed the wedding, or the life of a male farmer and a female weaver.
Wanqing said: "Back to Niangniang's words, a few days ago, Miss Huan'er also brought a message, saying that everything is fine, but she is thinking about Niangniang in her heart, and she is a little depressed. ”
"This girl!" When it comes to intimacy, Wanqing and Qiu'er in front of them are naturally not as good as Huan'er, in Shen Qiwu's heart, Huan'er is more like his sister.
Although she is now married, Shen Qiwu is always worried about her in her heart.
