Time passed imperceptibly, and General Guo finally arrived in the capital from the border pass.

On this day, the streets of the capital were crowded with people, and the people were waiting to see the general's demeanor.

General Guo has made a lot of contributions to the stability and peace of the border passes of the new country for decades. Although, since the first emperor, the new state has not had too many wars with its neighbors. However, in the counties of the border cities, there are often evil acts of robbing houses, burning, killing and looting. The people living in the border cities were panicked and had no peace. Therefore, the peace of the country is good, but it does not mean that you are useless.

Ever since the army was stationed at the border pass, those bandits no longer dared to cause trouble, and they have always been peaceful. Defending the country does not necessarily mean going to war, and ensuring the safety of the villagers is also the greatest dedication of those who serve in the army.

I saw General Guo Lao wearing a velvet suit and a unicorn sword given by the emperor. Riding a tall horse, he walked majestically through the streets of Beijing. The scene was majestic, the people cheered and cheered, and the children sang a little ballad around them: "

Jin Ge Iron Horse is tragic,

Defend the family and the country.

Enter the history and pass it on to all generations.

Whose boy is ambitious?

Only the men of the Guo family are the most responsible.

…………………

Suddenly, from the front of the general's ranks, a man dressed in the uniform of the Ouchi guard and riding a horse rushed towards General Guo.

The guard Mai Feng stopped his horse in front of General Guo's team, and said loudly with the holy decree in his hand: "The emperor has an order."

Immediately, General Guo and a group of guards dismounted one after another to receive the order, and the people watching the entire street knelt down one after another. Mai Feng read out the holy decree to everyone: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, General Guo guards the border pass, has outstanding achievements, and gives a banquet, immediately enter the palace to be rewarded, and drink and have fun with hundreds of officials."

After the holy decree was read, the surrounding people were amazed, and everyone was talking about General Guo's return to the capital before entering the general's mansion before he was taken by the emperor to a banquet and rewarded. It can be seen how much the emperor attaches great importance to General Guo to make such a bothered arrangement, the Guo family is really the glory of the lintel!

General Guo Lao was a little surprised by the emperor's favor, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, plus the country has been peaceful all these years, and he has not made any outstanding achievements in the border pass. To be able to get such a courtesy from the emperor, the glory is unmatched by no one in the dynasty, and he even thought, could it be that Ning'er is pregnant with a dragonborn? Although General Guo was puzzled in his heart, he was also very happy.

Immediately, General Guo and everyone walked towards the palace in a mighty manner.

In the general's palace, people up and down are discussing: as soon as the general returned to the capital, he was invited into the palace by the emperor's decree to feast and reward, which is really the first person in the dynasty, which shows how much the emperor respects the old general. There are many opinions in praise of the general.

For Lu Xin, who stayed at home and didn't pay attention to what was going on outside the window, she was still casually holding a roll of bamboo slips, looking at the poems and songs handed down from the new country.

Lu Xin's injured hands had been removed from the gauze two days ago, and they were basically fine, while Li Qingyuan had been busy with state affairs for the past two days, so he really couldn't take time out to visit Lu Xin.

Lu Xin looked at the sky outside the window, it was already afternoon. She felt a little lost in her heart, and scolded in her heart: "Stinky man, bad man, knowing that he is harmless and unhindered, he ignores people and ignores them, which is hateful."

She knew that whether she was waiting for him or not, she was staying in this courtyard anyway, and there was nowhere else to go. It's just that she thought in her heart that he could appear, and she wondered: "Is this love?" If you don't see him, you'll miss it, and if you see it, you'll lose your temper with him. ”

At this time, Xiao Xuan ran in happily and said happily to Lu Xin: "Miss, the general has returned to the house, the general has returned to the house."

When Lu Xin heard this, she immediately put down the bamboo scroll in her hand and said, "The general has returned home?"

Xiao Xuan hurriedly corrected and said: "No, the general hasn't returned to the mansion yet, I heard that as soon as the general returned to the capital, he was summoned by the emperor to the palace for a banquet and reward." The whole city heard the decree being read, and it could not be faked. ”

Lu Xin was also very happy in her heart, what were you happy about? She couldn't tell, but she was just happy in her heart.

Xiao Xuan's face was excited, she thought: "The general's return means that Miss will marry Qing Gongzi soon, and they will no longer have to flee and hide, and Miss has found such a good husband." It's really the old lady's spirit in the sky! ”

The banquet for General Guo can be described as grand, since the opening of the banquet, it has been singing and dancing, and the atmosphere is cheerful and lively. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all sat on both sides of the main hall, and General Guo sat on the top seat to the left of Li Qingyuan, and on the left hand side of Li Qingyuan sat the third daughter of General Guo, Guo Ning-Ning Guifei. It can also be seen that Ning Guifei's status is unmatched in the harem.

Halfway through the banquet, Li Qingyuan stood up and wanted to leave the table. He said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, drink here first, I still have important matters to discuss with the general, and I will have three drinks with you later."

After Li Qingyuan finished speaking, he politely made a gesture of invitation to General Guo. In the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, it is obviously like the relationship between a father-in-law and a son-in-law, and there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers. Ning Guifei watched the emperor give her father the most courtesy, and she was happy and grateful in her heart.

General Guo was flattered and hurriedly bent down to salute the emperor, and Li Qingyuan was in a happy mood, so he left the banquet with General Guo in front of him.

Xuanyuan Rui couldn't help the doubts in his heart after all, and decided to visit the general's mansion at night to meet Lu Xin. In the middle of the night, Chen Qing and Xuanyuan Rui joined each other, and soon entered the Qianzhu Garden where Lu Xin lived.

Although it was the middle of the night, because Lu Xin had been afraid of the dark since she was a child, she had to be held by the maid at night to hold the lamp to fall asleep, and the maid Xiaoxuan in the courtyard also went to bed early.

In order to prevent someone from sneaking in through the shadow of the paper window when passing by Qianzhuyuan, Xuanyuan Rui immediately blew out the candle flame when he broke into Lu Xin's room.

Although he did a good job, for a person like Lu Xin, who had a keen sense and a shallow sleep, Xuanyuan Rui's intrusion was still discovered.
