Chapter 14: The Big Brother Returns Home

At midnight the next day, the south gate of Jinling City ushered in a group of people riding horses and hurriedly entering the city.

The man at the head was wearing a black power suit, his figure stood upright on horseback like a benchmark, his eyes were burning under a pair of sword eyebrows, his face was as sharp as a knife, his nose was high, his complexion was slightly dark, and his face was serious.

The guards at the city gate couldn't help but feel panicked when they saw that this group of people was full of military jinge, and hurriedly stepped forward to guard the city gate.

Seeing that the city gate guards stopped the inquiry, the black-clothed man led by him took out a token directly from his arms and shook it at the guard.

Seeing the word Fenyang on the token, the leader of the guards at the city gate settled down in his heart, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stepped back with reverence, and waved his hand to let him go.

Because it was early in the morning, the city was still very quiet, the vendors who usually set up stalls had not yet gone out, the children who went to school had not yet gotten up, and there was no one in the streets and alleys.

The horse's hooves trampled on the bluestone slab, making a clanging sound, which was slightly harsh in the quiet Jinling City.

The group did not have any conversation, and rode silently and galloped through the city, until they reached the side gate of the Fenyang Palace, and then turned over and dismounted.

There was already a small servant waiting at the side door, and he hurried forward, took the reins and led the horses to the stables. Except for the black-clothed man who was the leader, the rest of them went to the courtyard of the outer city of the palace to settle down.

Only the man in black kept walking through the outer city of the palace, passing through the door cards one after another, and came to the Siqi Palace.

Siqi Hall is located in the southeast of the palace, covers a wide area, and there are many courtyard wings, but because the prince of Fenyang has only been married for a short time, only the princess of Fenyang Wang and several concubines live in the palace.

The princess of Fenyang was already waiting in front of the main hall, and when she saw the man in black, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly greeted him.

She gently held the man's hand and said gently, "Shizi has worked hard all the way, I have asked people to prepare hot soup, go back to the house to wash and rest." ”

The man in black is none other than the prince of Fenyang.

Ruan Qiguang had been expressionless, his lips were tightly pursed, and his expression softened only after seeing the princess. He gently stroked the hair of the princess, and said in a slightly low voice, "Rou'er, the dew is cold in the morning, you don't need to wait for me at the door, be careful of catching a cold." ”

There was a hint of warmth in the eyes of the princess, and she clenched Ruan Qiguang's hand, "I remembered it in my heart, so I slept a little lighter." ”

Ruan Qiguang smiled at his wife when he heard this, and said, "It's still early, you go back and rest, I'll go to see my father after washing up." ”

The princess also didn't sleep well all night, and when she heard Ruan Qiguang say this, she also nodded obediently, and let the maid help her walk back to the dormitory.

Ruan Tingge also got up early this day, and was having breakfast in the front hall, with Lingyu and Banxia serving on the side.

A second-class maidservant came in from outside the door and whispered something in Lingyu's ear.

After hearing this, Lingyu nodded, turned his head to Ruan Tingge and said, "County Lord, the prince has sent someone over and is waiting outside the door." ”

When Ruan Qinge heard this, he said, "Let him come in." ”

It was Wei Song, a little servant in the study of King Fenyang, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, childish, and his round face looked very pleasing.

Seeing that Ruan Tingge was still having breakfast, he smiled and saluted after he came in, and waited aside without speaking.

Ruan Qingge saw that it was Wei Song, so he asked, "Is there any good news that my father sent you over?" ”

Wei Song replied with a smile, "If you go back to the county lord, it is indeed good news. The prince returned home early this morning, and the prince thought that the county lord had not seen the prince for many days, so he sent a small one to inform the county lord. ”

Ruan Tiange happily put down his chopsticks, "Great, then I'll go to the eldest brother later." ”

Lingyu said with a smile on the side, "The county lord has been talking about the prince for several days, and he is finally going to get his wish." ”

Wei Song's round eyes bent with a smile, and said, "The prince and the prince are both talking in the Zhengde Palace, and the county lord can go to the palace after eating." ”

Hearing that the eldest brother was back, Ruan Tingge had no intention of having breakfast again, so he hurriedly took a few bites and went out.

As soon as Ruan Qinge entered the Zhengde Palace, he saw the King of Fenyang sitting on the main seat, and a long and sturdy figure standing on the side.

"Big brother!" She couldn't help but shout, and walked quickly towards Ruan Qiguang.

"Ge'er," seeing his sister, Ruan Qiguang's cold face couldn't help but show a smile, looking at Ruan Qinge's eyes with joy, "Ge'er has grown taller." ”

Ruan Tingge's eyes were a little hot, he rubbed his eyes in disguise, and complained, "When the eldest brother left last time, he said that he would return in less than three months, but it turned out that I had been looking forward to it for a whole year. ”

"I'm just the time to grow my body now, how can I not grow taller." After saying that, she turned her head a little angrily and didn't look at Ruan Qiguang.

Ruan Qiguang hadn't seen Ruan Tingge's lively and angry expression for a long time, so he couldn't help laughing, and coaxed very skillfully, "It's the eldest brother's fault, the eldest brother will take you to West Street to play in a few days, and when the time comes, the eldest brother will buy whatever he wants for you." ”

After a few more words of coaxing, Ruan Tingge let Ruan Qiguang go with satisfaction.

King Fenyang had been sitting on the main seat, smiling and watching the brother and sister playing there, and then he said, "Okay, don't make trouble with your eldest brother." ”

His eyebrows, which he had always frowned tightly, also stretched, and it was obvious that he was in a very happy mood, "Your eldest brother has been on the road for a few days in a row, and he just returned home early this morning, I saw that you missed your eldest brother very much, so I asked Wei Song to call you over to see him early." Later, your eldest brother will enter the palace to see the emperor. ”

Ruan Tingge's eyes rolled and asked, "But for the canonization?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them looked at her together.

Ruan Qingge saw the surprise in the eyes of his father and eldest brother, and couldn't help but explain with a smile, "The eldest brother won the battle and returned to the dynasty, such a great achievement, the emperor will definitely give the eldest brother a promotion and knight." ”

"The eldest brother doesn't need the title, then he must be a general for the eldest brother." She seemed to be joking a little casually, as if she was guessing casually.

"I didn't expect Ge'er to have such insight, worthy of my Ruan Yingyang's daughter." King Fenyang laughed, "It just happened that you said that the emperor not only wants to promote Qi Guang, but also to make a holy decree to canonize him as General Xuanwei." ”

Ruan Qingge turned his head to look at Ruan Qiguang, who didn't have much joy on his face, and squeezed his eyes at him, "Then congratulations to the eldest brother, I will have to slaughter the eldest brother at that time." ”

Ruan Qiguang's black face couldn't hold back, and he said with a little headache, "Why do you want to take advantage of your eldest brother." ”

Ruan Tingge grinned.

King Fenyang stood up from the main seat, stepped forward and patted Ruan Qiguang on the shoulder, "Okay, it's time to enter the palace later." He looked at Ruan Qiguang tightly, "What I told you before should be remembered, don't be so stinky with your face, deal with it well." ”

Ruan Qiguang's face was straight, and he nodded slightly.

"Then the eldest brother will go back to the house for dinner?" Ruan Tingge asked, "I still have something I want to ask my eldest brother." ”

Ruan Qiguang nodded and said, "Then you will come to Siqi Hall then." ”
