"Mother doesn't have any requirements for you, she just wants you to live happily." Mrs. Cheng touched her hand, with a loving face, in the end, it is her own daughter, even if she was willful before, you are still extremely distressed.

The three of them talked for a while, and Cheng Ge remembered and asked, "Daddy, mother, why did you come here so late?" But what's the matter with the emperor? ”

Speaking of this, General Cheng and Mrs. Cheng glanced at each other, and then told the situation at that time.

It turned out that General Cheng and his wife were in a hurry to return to Beijing to report, so they wanted to take the first step, but they didn't expect to meet mountain bandits. There are a large number of mountain bandits, but the goal is very clear, they don't want money, just the lives of their couples. Fortunately, the large army was not far from them, and when they heard the sound of fighting, they rushed to support.

Where can the mountain bandits beat the well-trained border soldiers? So they were quickly beaten away. Before leaving, Mrs. Cheng saw a waist card that had been dropped, and thought that maybe it was some evidence, so she brought it back.

After reporting to the emperor, Mrs. Cheng handed over the card. The emperor was shocked when he saw it, and then said with a serious face, "I will give you an explanation for this matter." ”

They didn't care, so they left the palace. It's just that when I was on the road, I heard that the crown princess was locked up, and it seems that this matter has nothing to do with her.

"It's her again." Cheng Ge muttered to herself, this time she dared to have the audacity to put her hand on her parents, then don't blame her for being unkind to her in the future.

"There's a celebration banquet tonight, and your father and I will go back to the house to clean up first. If the prince allows, you can sleep at home with Mo Ge'er tonight. Mrs. Cheng said reluctantly, but she thought that she would be able to see it in the capital from time to time in the future, so she put her mind at ease.

"Good!" Cheng Ge was also a little reluctant, he had just spoken for a while, and he had to separate again. Now Qin Changqi shouldn't have much time for her, even if he wants to go back to his parents' house, he won't say anything, right?

When General Cheng and his wife left, Cheng Ge and Qin Mo sent them to the door together, and watched their carriage go away with reluctance.

"Mother." Qin Mo looked at his mother and relatives a little sad, and couldn't help but want to comfort him, "And I'm here, don't be sad, don't be sad, I'll talk to my father tonight, let's go to my grandparents' house to live." ”

Cheng Ge saw that Qin Mo was so sensible, and he was comforted in his heart.

……

In the evening, the wind came to spread the word, Qin Changqi had to discuss matters in the palace all day today, and he couldn't come back for dinner for the time being, so Cheng Ge took Qin Mo into the palace alone.

This palace banquet is very large, and officials above the third rank can bring their children. This banquet is actually not only a celebration banquet, but also a blind date banquet in disguise, especially for women of the right age like Zhang Ziling, who are the objects of scrambling to investigate.

Different from previous banquets, this time many ladies and ladies came to talk, wanting to leave an impression in their hearts, and they could ask them for help when there was anything in the future. Cheng Ge hypocritically agreed, the smirk on his face was about to stiffen, and those people still kept coming to talk. Cheng Ge felt that it was not necessarily a good thing to be popular.

Zhang Ziling saw Cheng Ge from a distance, and when he saw the smirk on her face, he naturally knew what kind of feelings she felt in her heart, and couldn't help but smile. I had to wait for a while before Shi Shiran walked over.

"Sister Princess, would you like to accompany me to sit over there?" Looking at Zhang Ziling's mischievous smile, how could Cheng Ge not know what she was thinking? But it was also a good opportunity, so he nodded, and the two of them went to the gazebo next to them to hide.

"I know now that if I'm popular, it's a tiring thing, so I might as well ignore me." Cheng Ge waved his hand, looking distressed.

Looking at her appearance, Zhang Ziling couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, "That's what you are, others can't wait for themselves to be in the limelight and be flattered by everyone." ”

Cheng Ge rolled his eyes, his face full of disdain. She really doesn't understand these ancients, is it necessarily a good thing that everyone flatters you? Haven't you heard of the tree-down macaques?

Just as the two of them were chatting, they suddenly felt that the entire hall was quiet, and then they heard Qu Ji's voice shouting loudly, "The emperor and queen have arrived—"

Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Queen Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

"Get up!" Qin Cao waved his hand casually, and everyone got up and sat down in their pre-arranged seats. Cheng Ge deliberately paid attention to the location of the know, and sure enough, it was not her, but a side concubine of the prince.

"Today, General Cheng returned to the dynasty and drove the barbarians back ten miles away, and they no longer dared to come to attack, I am very pleased." Qin Cao spoke on the stage like the boss of a certain company, "General Cheng has worked hard in the border for several years, and I have renovated a house in the east of the city, and you can move in one day." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." General Cheng hurriedly stood up and saluted in thanks.

"Reward the South China Sea pearls again, 100 gold silk and satin, and 100 Nanwan horses......" Qu Ji sang loudly with a gift list, and everyone was envious. But after all, starting a family is a credit in exchange for life, and others have nothing to say.

"You can take it with peace of mind." Qin Cao waved his hand and didn't let General Cheng get up and salute again, after all, these rewards were a drop in the bucket compared to the loot he brought back, "I'm happy today, you don't have to be restrained." ”

Despite that, everyone was still a little nervous, especially those who had not attended the banquet before.

The singing and dancing instruments were one after another, and everyone slowly began to relax, especially after Qin Cao and the queen left the table early, their sense of tension and oppression was much less.

Because this banquet was mainly a celebration, Qin Cao and the queen did not specifically let those ladies come out to perform. Despite this, everyone's eyes still wandered back and forth on those unmarried young ladies and sons, calculating in their hearts whose sons and daughters were more suitable for their own children.

"Let me tell you, their eyes are now like wolves staring at meat, and they want to rip off your clothes and examine them from head to toe." Zhang Ziling bit his tongue at Cheng Ge, "I don't want to be picked by others like this, I must marry someone I like." ”

Cheng Ge raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect her to say such a thing, but if she really wanted to do this, I am afraid it would be difficult, especially since she was less than two months away.

"If you can really marry the person you like, then I will definitely give you a big gift."

Zhang Ziling looked at Cheng Ge's expression and didn't seem to believe it, and angrily tickled her flesh, which made her laugh out loud.
