As Yip expected.

Chen Yuanbai quickly turned around and said with a little embarrassment: "Father is unwell, and he said that he can't come over today." ”

This is, of course, a pretext. The fact is that An Guogong simply refused neatly. Chen Yuanbai asked the reason for the reason, An Guogong's face sank at that time, and he glared at him impatiently: "What do I do, do I still need to explain it to you?" ”

Chen Yuanbai touched his nose and came back.

Although he is a concubine, he has been favored by An Guogong since he was a child, and An Guogong has never said anything serious to him, and it is unprecedented to be so unceremonious as today.

Ye glanced at Chen Yuanbai with a smile, and his tone was sarcastic: "I didn't let anyone send a letter to Grandpa Guo before, but I guessed that Grandpa Guo would be 'unwell' today and would not come to Shi'an Hall." Now that you've made such a trip, no one should suspect that I deliberately didn't invite Grandpa Guo to come! ”

Chen Yuanbai: ""

Chen Yuanbai looked embarrassed, and the Yuan family was not much better.

Ye's words were clearly meant for the two of them.

With this little episode, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly seemed weird and dull.

The incident between An Guogong and the Ye family before had already spread in the mansion. The Ye family hid in the Shi'an Hall for nearly a month, and today is the full moon of Brother Qi'er, so he is willing to show up. An Guogong has such an attitude, and the rivalry between the husband and wife can also be seen

Xu Jinyu smiled and started the round: "It's not too early, everyone's stomach should be hungry, it's better to start the banquet now!" ”

Ye's expression softened. Smiled and nodded

The wait seems extraordinarily long.

Since receiving Chen Yuanzhao's letter, Xu Jinyu has been counting the days with her fingers almost every day, waiting for Chen Yuanzhao to come back. Fortunately, I have to be busy with the children every day. It's not lonely.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's fast into July.

Qi Ge'er is three months old, and wears a big red belly pocket embroidered with a unicorn pattern, revealing white and chubby arms and legs. A pair of black eyes, red lips and white teeth, handsome and cute.

Xu Jinyu is now inseparable from her children. The Ye family also hurts Brother Qi'er to the bone. After the bruise on his neck healed, he stayed in Moyuan Juli almost every day.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been getting along for a long time. The relationship gradually deepened, and he spoke more casually than before.

Ye's favorite thing to talk about Chen Yuanzhao's childhood is "Yuanzhao has been wise since he was a child, and he will turn over in three months." In five months, I can sit, in seven months, I can climb, and in ten months, I can walk and talk. Our Qi brother is so smart, he will definitely call grandmother soon. ”

As he spoke, he touched Brother Qi'er's fleshy little face.

Brother Qi spat a bubble in his mouth. Grinning and giggling.

The more Ye looked at it, the more he liked it. simply hugged Brother Qi from Xu Jinyu's arms, kissed him a few times, and shouted with a heartfelt baby.

Brother Qi is still young, so naturally he can't understand what Ye is saying. However, the child is the most sensitive, and can perceive the care and affection of the woman holding him. The ruddy little mouth grinned even bigger.

Xu Jinyu looked at this warm scene, and a smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

At this moment, Rue Xiang hurriedly walked in with a happy face. I couldn't wait to report: "Madam, young grandmother." Great news! The general has already led the Divine Guard into Beijing! ”

Chen Yuanzhao is back?!

Xu Jinyu was pleasantly surprised, and Huo Di stood up: "Really? Is he really back? ”

His voice trembled slightly unconsciously.

Rue Xiang smiled: "It's the soldiers around the general who came to deliver the letter, and it really can't be more real." "The young grandmother waited for a year, and the general finally returned.

Xu Jinyu's heart was filled with great joy, and her mind was blank for a while, and she didn't know what to say. Stand still in a daze.

The Ye family was also full of joy, but she and Chen Yuanzhao's mother and son had been together less and more all year round, and they had long been used to it, and they were much calmer than Xu Jinyu: "Yuan Zhao has to go to the palace to thank him, and there will be a banquet in the palace according to the rules." At least I won't be able to get home until the evening. Jin Niang, don't worry, first order your subordinates to clean up Mo Yuanju inside and out. ”

Xu Jinyu took a deep breath, finally calmed down a little, pressed the joy and excitement in her heart, and instructed Ruxiang and Chu Xia: "You two lead the maids to clean up Mo Yuanju." There is also rue, remember to make a table of delicious food in the evening. ”

The two maids laughed in unison.

Since Chen Yuanzhao left, Mo Yuan has always been a little lonely. Xu Jinyu's gentle smile always carried a touch of loneliness.

Today, this loneliness and loneliness are swept away.

The news that Chen Yuanzhao had returned to the capital spread in a very short period of time, and everyone in Mo Yuanju became happy

He's finally back.

When Chen Yuanzhao stood on the Jinluan Hall to thank him, his thoughts were surging. The expression on his face was quite calm.

This year's trip to the border pass made Chen Yuanzhao make great achievements, and he has overpowered Wei Ninghou, who lives in a simple place, and has become the first real general.

The emperor looked at the tall and heroic Chen Yuanzhao, and his heart was also very happy. The pride and pride hidden deep in my heart are stronger than ever.

In the past, he could only sigh and sigh secretly, such a good son could only recognize An Guogong as his father. He, the real father, could only watch from afar, occasionally showing that the Son of Heaven cared deeply about his courtiers.

Now, he has made up his mind to tell the world that if he recognizes his son and looks at Chen Yuanzhao at this time, he will naturally have more blood thicker than water.

The secretary of the military department read out the exploits of the Divine Guard Army in a frustrated voice.

Chen Yuanzhao's expression was calm, without the slightest hint of arrogance. Everyone saw it in their eyes and couldn't help but nod their heads in approval.

The emperor looked at Chen Yuanzhao, and his voice was extremely gentle: "Yuanzhao, you have made such a great contribution to come back, I must reward you heavily." You might as well tell me about your wishes. I'll make it happen. ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials cast envious glances one after another.

Chen Yuanzhao's holy family commission is really enviable.

With the emperor's weight, are you still worried about having a bright future?

Chen Yuanzhao's request was unexpected: "The minister does have something to ask the emperor." The minister's son was born three months ago. The minister only gave his name, but his full name has not yet been given. Please also ask the emperor to give the child a name! ”

Officials: ""

No way!

Such a great opportunity to invite merit, Chen Yuanzhao actually let it go gently. Just ask the emperor to give his son a name? It's just stupid!

The eyes of the officials looking at Chen Yuanzhao were full of heartache of "how can you be like this".

Chen Yuanzhao was suddenly unaware and calmly waited for the emperor's response.

No one expected that such a small request would make the emperor happy, and he smiled and said hello three times in a row: "Okay, good!" That's what I mean. I'm going to think about it first, and then I'll have a name. Then he ordered someone to go to the Anguo Mansion to deliver the decree. ”

Qi Ge'er is the son of Chen Yuanzhao and the descendant of the Murong clan. He, the grandfather, deserves to give Qi Ge'er a name.

A hint of relief quickly flashed in Chen Yuanzhao's eyes. Rong thanked the emperor for his grace: "The minister thanked the emperor." ”

The border passes are far away, and the delivery of information is neither timely nor convenient. He knew about An Guogong's summons to the palace two months ago. Combined with Ye's strange behavior before entering the palace, he vaguely guessed a little bit about the emperor's thoughts.

The request he made just now was a test without a trace. Judging by the emperor's performance. It was about the same as he had guessed

For him. Of course, it couldn't be better news.

This means that he can get back what he deserves!

The emperor was in a happy mood and said with a smile: "I have ordered the palace to prepare a palace banquet. Tonight, I'm going to drink a few glasses and get drunk. All of you Aiqing also stayed. ”

The officials immediately agreed in unison.

The performance of the protagonist Chen Yuanzhao once again made everyone stunned: "Your Majesty, the minister has been away from Beijing for a year." Now I want to go back to my house and reunite with my wife and children, but I really have no intention of drinking and feasting in the palace. I beg the emperor to agree! ”

The emperor was also quite surprised. However, it was not unpleasant or discouraged. Soon agreed with a smile: "Okay, since you are in a hurry to go home, don't come to today's palace banquet." Tomorrow, you will lead your wife and children into the palace, and I will also want to see Brother Qi. ”

The last sentence is very meaningful.

Chen Yuanzhao's heart moved, and he gave up.

As for the civil and military officials in the hall, there is no shortage of sophisticated, sophisticated and shrewd people. has already felt something unusual from the emperor's unusual performance.

The emperor's attitude towards Chen Yuanzhao can no longer be described as heavy pampering!

He also wanted to give Qi Ge'er a name, and instructed Chen Yuanzhao to lead his wife and children into the palace to meet Tianyan. This is not a preferential treatment for courtiers

Chen Yuanzhao was still able to maintain his calm in the Jinluan Palace, and after leaving the Jinluan Palace, his pace immediately increased.

He didn't even return to the barracks, and after riding his horse, he immediately galloped towards the Anguo Mansion. He was followed by the pro-soldiers led by Zhou Cong. The number of people is not very large, about forty or fifty people.

The sound of horses' hooves was dull and contentious, and the soldiers on the horses were staring at each other, exuding an aggressive momentum.

It was supposed to be more than half an hour away, but it arrived in the time of two pillars of incense.

The sound of dozens of galloping horses alarmed the concierge steward, who quickly glanced at it, and was immediately overjoyed: "Hurry up, open the main gate quickly, the second son is back!" ”

The main gate of the Anguo Mansion, which is rarely opened, was pushed open by the combined efforts of the two small servants.

The galloping horse came to an abrupt halt at the door. The concierge steward led the servants to say goodbye, but Chen Yuanzhao didn't even look at it, dismounted neatly, and dodged into the house.

At this time, Zhou Cong led all the soldiers to arrive.

Looking at Chen Yuanzhao's disappearing figure, Zhou Cong couldn't help but be secretly amused.

Gentle Township is a hero's mound, and this is not true at all. The general was in a hurry to come back to visit his wife and children, and he refused to even attend the palace banquet that was destined to be in the limelight!

The moment Chen Yuanzhao's figure appeared in front of Xu Jinyu's eyes, Xu Jinyu's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he was in a dream.

The cold face was as handsome as in memory, and the cold gaze was only so gentle when staring at her: "Ah Yu, I'm back." ”

Xu Jinyu's eyes flashed with water, and she was reluctant to blink, let alone look away, so she looked at Chen Yuanzhao stupidly.

Chen Yuanzhao's mood was agitated, and he said softly again: "Ah Yu, you are not dreaming, I am really back." ”

Xu Jinyu's whole body trembled, and she threw herself into Chen Yuanzhao's arms: "Zixi, you are finally back, you have been gone for so long, I am almost in a hurry"

For more than 300 days and nights, I was looking forward to it, and today my dream finally came true.

He's really back, back to her

Xu Jinyu's hot tears welled up from the corners of her eyes and dripped down Chen Yuanzhao's chest. Quickly penetrated the thin clothes.

Chen Yuanzhao's heart was filled with sour tenderness, and he subconsciously hugged Xu Jinyu tightly, and whispered: "Ah Yu, it's me who is not good, I said that I would rush back when you gave birth, but I broke my promise." You must have suffered a lot when you survived to give birth to a child alone. It's all my fault, and I'll never leave you again."

Xu Jinyu didn't hear what he was saying at all, threw herself into his arms, crying wantonly and happily.

It was as if to turn all her thoughts over the past year into tears, so that he could clearly see how much she missed him.

Chen Yuanzhao lowered his head and wiped away her tears with his hand, his voice was incredibly gentle: "Ah Yu, don't cry." I have come back, and from now on, I will always be by your side and never be separated again. ”

Xu Jinyu sobbed and snorted, and suddenly said, "Am I ugly?" ”

Chen Yuanzhao: ""

The two are complaining to each other, it is the time of warmth, why did they suddenly bring up this topic?

"Before I gave birth to Brother Qi, I became fat and ugly. At that time, fortunately you were not in the capital, otherwise you would have been scared by me. After the baby was born, my figure recovered a lot, but I was still a little fatter than before. ”

Xu Jinyu was angry about her fat, and her tone was full of grievances: "I must have become ugly now." So, since we met, you haven't kissed me. ”

Chen Yuanzhao couldn't cry or laugh, so he simply didn't say anything and kissed her red lips fiercely.

The embrace that had been separated for a long time was as warm as ever, and the kisses were so warm that they seemed to swallow her into their stomachs. Large hands unruly climbed up to her chest.

Well, more than a little fatter.

Chen Yuanzhao became short of breath, wanting ~ to be like a spark burning the prairie and quickly burning in his heart. The body reacted almost immediately.

Xu Jinyu obviously noticed the change in Chen Yuanzhao, his cheeks suddenly turned crimson, he hurriedly grabbed his flexible big hand, and whispered hurriedly: "Don't worry. You have just returned home, mother-in-law, they will definitely be here soon, and Brother Qi'er, waiting for his father to hug him! ”

Chen Yuanzhao reluctantly stopped all his movements, and his voice was hoarse: "What about Brother Qi'er?" ”

"I was carried out by the nurse just now, so I'll let the nurse carry it over." Xu Jinyu quickly pushed Chen Yuanzhao away, tidied up the messy clothes, and then shouted for the nurse to come in. (To be continued......)
