Although on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hua Qiao knew that Hu Yanjin had won the battle, but it was not until the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year that there was no news that he and Zhang Yue had returned to the capital with the army.

The palace gate was specially opened for them, and the emperor received them in the main hall overnight.

"General Huyan and General Zhang, this victory in Tianshou Mountain is of great significance, and you are the greatest heroes. I want to reward you so much! ”

"Your Majesty, Hu Yanzheng has the intention of pleading...... "Hu Yanjin thought about it on the way, and asked the emperor to marry him, and the emperor must be embarrassed to refuse.

"Alas! What are you anxious about? Am I going to treat you badly? Today is the third day of the first lunar month, and when I return to the court on the sixteenth day of the first month, I will be rewarded, and you and Zhang Yue are the first two. Wouldn't it be nice for all the officials to be happy at that time? ”

The emperor opened his mouth to stop it, Hu Yanjin had no choice but to give up, and he described the situation in the past few days to the emperor in detail.

Zhu Zhanji kept observing Hu Yanjin's expression, and saw that he was frank and open, and he didn't look like he was engaged in a conspiracy. Anyway, it won't be long before it's a human or a demon, and you can tell at a glance.

Zhu Zhanji showed an emperor-like smile.

Zhang Yue found that there was one less person who was never absent around the emperor, and today it was Wang Zhen standing in that position.

Out of the main hall, Xiancao had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, and she saluted and said: "My lord, the Empress Dowager learned that your class teacher has returned to the court, and she specially came to invite you to Shou'an Palace to see you." ”

Zhang Yue turned his face like Hu Yanjin and said with a smile:

"Let's go together, let's go to Shou'an Palace together to say goodbye, right?"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

The two followed the fairy grass and walked from the west road to the harem.

"Did you find out? There is one less person in the temple today. Usually the statue is as inconspicuous as the clubbing, but you can feel it immediately if it is missing. ”

"You mean Xiao Yan? He and Xiao Zhong are left and right to protect the Dharma, and one side is missing, of course it feels asymmetrical. ”

"Hey, why did you say the emperor stopped you from asking for a reward?"

"You mean, Xiao Yan didn't come, and it has something to do with the content I was asking for?"

"You're so witty! Did I say so? What's the matter? ”

Neither of them moved much, but they talked a lot. A team of patrolling Jin Wuwei came to the front, and it was their old acquaintance Jingyuan who led the team.

Jin Wuwei stopped, bowed his head slightly, and gave way to them. I thought it was passing by, but I didn't think that Jing Yuan smiled and said: "Happy New Year!" ”

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!"

The two hurriedly smiled back at him, turned their faces and glanced at each other inexplicably:

"Do you want to give a red envelope?"

Xiancao smiled: "The Empress Dowager will have a red envelope for a while, and you should have a sweeter mouth for New Year's greetings." ”

Sister Xiancao said that there were red envelopes, but she didn't say that there was still the eldest princess there was the Queen Mother. This really made Hu Yanjin happier than winning ten red envelopes.

"When the eldest princess heard that you had entered the palace overnight, she said that your victory in the New Year was a great event, and she wanted to give each of you a gift. There is no gift for the mourning family, so I will give each of you two gold ingots to count. ”

The Empress Dowager is really happy, the youngest brother finally has military merits, and before she goes to the temple to practice, she can still see this day, which is simply the blessing of her father's spirit in heaven.

She had already decided to leave all the property in her name to this little brother. I'm going to give it to him today.

Hua Qiao saw Hu Yanjin in military uniform, who was more handsome than usually wearing civil court clothes, and he didn't know how many times he was handsome. After a long absence, she almost fainted with joy, and was about to drill into his arms.

Hu Yanjin's eyes were full of gentleness, and only turned into three words: "Happy New Year!" ”

"I ...... There are gifts for you. Hua Qiao blushed slightly, after all, the Empress Dowager was still there.

Can'er handed them a paper bag with both hands, Hu Yanjin was soft, and Zhang Yue was hard.

"I'll see it when I go back." Hua said with some embarrassment.

The Empress Dowager got up and said with a smile: "Brother come with me to the inner hall, our sister and brother have two thoughtful words, Xiancao go and bring the box in." Beauty Nest

Eldest princess, the plum blossoms in the courtyard of the mourning family have bloomed, and they have dropped a lot of small lanterns on the tree, you lead Lord Huyan over to take a look, is it still fresh? ”

Hua Qiao understood and led Hu Yanjin into the backyard. Xianshu smiled and closed the door, leaving only the two of them, under the flickering plum tree.

Hu Yanjin wanted to hold her hand, but suddenly changed his mind, only held her in his arms, and couldn't wait to kiss her. The high palace wall crushed the thoughts into mud, and the reluctance in the hearts of the two turned into a glue lingering.

"I can't stand it anymore, Ah Qiao, I want to marry you. It's already time to get married this year, right? Maybe you don't have to wait until you get married, and when I get everything done in the next two days, I'll pick you up.

I'll go to Lingshan tomorrow, Haiming has already sent a letter back, and the master and Ah Rong are in Lingshan. I haven't been to see Tongzhou yet, the third child is here, and when I send the master over, there will be nothing to worry about in the capital.

Just ......"

"Just what?" Hua Qiao was nodding desperately, and suddenly heard his turn.

"It's just ......" Hu Yanjin kissed her lips lightly, and smiled gently: "I want you to change from an eldest princess in the palace to a ...... The landlord's wife. ”

What the hell is a landlord's wife?

Hua Qiao finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and suddenly his hand touched his hand, and hurriedly pulled his hand in front of him:

"Yikes! How did it hurt? ”

"I knew you'd make a fuss and scratch your skin."

"I want to see it!"

"Nope."

"No, it depends on it."

"Look, then I'll look at your gift now."

"No! You can only see it when you go back. ”

"Then you can go back and see again. Flattened. ”

"Oh...... No, how did you flatten it? How can I still see your hand when I go back? ”

The two were tired and crooked, Zhang Yue stretched out his head and smiled:

"If you don't leave, Jin Wuwei is going to come and arrest someone. Isn't it the Lushen Festival in two days? Isn't there a palace market in Dongyuan? The ministers are also coming to join in, and you will have a chance to meet. ”

The fifth day of the first month is the road god festival, and every household has to rush to pick up the east, south, west, north, and middle five road gods.

The shops that have been closed for a few days will be open on the fifth day of the new year, sending the poor gods and receiving the five gods of wealth, so that they can make a lot of money this year.

The people in the palace couldn't get out of the palace, so the emperor asked people to imitate the people and build a "palace market" in the East Garden, where people in the palace could go to the palace market to buy and sell, and ministers could also come to the market to do business.

Everyone is just trying to have a good intention, get some novelty gadgets, and please the ladies and princesses in the palace.

"Isn't there no festival this year? Why did it happen all of a sudden? Hu Yanjin asked happily.

Zhang Yue simply pushed the door out and explained: "It was the emperor who said that the treasury is empty and stretched, and this year I want to welcome the God of Wealth in the palace and attract some wealth......

Speaking of "wealth", he grabbed Hu Yanjin's shoulders and dragged him out:

"Let's go, I'm going to talk to you about picking up the God of Wealth!"

"I'm going to pick it up on the sixth day of junior high school, are you going? ...... Ay! We haven't said goodbye yet! ”

"Say goodbye, I'll see you again in two days. Walk around...... The sixth day of junior high school? What time is the sixth day of the first lunar month? ”

Hu Yanjin had no choice but to turn his head with difficulty and waved his hand at Hua Qiao.

It just so happened that she under the plum tree also raised her hand and waved to him with a smile.

The small lanterns on the trees were like twinkling stars, shining up and down her body.

Everything is so beautiful.
