When I went north to Liaodong, it was a rapid march to Ningyuan, and it only took three or four days to walk 800 miles. Now when I return to Beijing, I am not in such a hurry, and I have returned to the capital from the border between Horqin and Tsarist Russia, and I have been walking for nearly a month.

As Chen Xuan said, it is the season of spring flowers.

Yu Zhiwei spent his fourteenth birthday in a daze on the road, and finally arrived outside the nine gates of the capital at the end of March.

When he returned to Beijing this time, the one in the palace seemed to be happy to give Yu Jingning a face. Let the chief soldier enter Beijing from Andingmen, bypass most of the capital, and then walk Chang'an Avenue and then enter the palace, obviously to let the people pay homage to the majesty of the chief soldier. In addition, the little eunuch who came to announce the decree also specially revealed that Yu Zhiwei's county lord's seal was about to be approved, and everyone had a preparation in their hearts.

Yu Jingning on Chang'an Street often walks, from the age of twelve to the age of fifteen in the three years, every year on the first day of the New Year, with Luan driving away, but at that time he was still the captain of the Jinyi Weiyi Luan Division, but this time he became the chief soldier of Liaodong, and the feeling was naturally different.

Yu Zhiwei scoffed - is this not clear that there is nothing to do? This time you have such a big face, do you want to kill or what?

No matter what the purpose was, they categorically did not refute the holy decree, and naturally they had to follow the route arranged by the Ministry of Rites with great force.

It's all good to say, it's just that there is a sentence in the holy decree, saying that it is to let Yu Zhiwei enter Beijing.

This makes people a little confused.

Today's holy decree, whether it is the meaning of the Empress Dowager Lin or the meaning of the little emperor He Xiao himself is really not clear, Yu Jingning is a man, he is a military general, and it is better to say that he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds in Beijing. If Yu Zhiwei enters Beijing in military uniforms, it is a woman wearing men's clothes, and it is needless to say that she is in the military camp, but when she returns to Beijing, she has to talk about the etiquette system, what does this mean.

The little eunuch who came to announce the decree was the emperor, surnamed Ye, who was one year old with He Xiao, and explained for a long time: "Miss Yu has not been canonized as the county lord, and she does not have the county lord's shirt and Zhai Guan, but after all, the girl is noble, and she can't wear the dress of the concubine." It is to follow all the etiquette in the army, and wear the same uniform as the prince of the world. ”

A few people thanked the little eunuch for his good life.

The preparation process of all kinds of etiquette is quite cumbersome, and Yu Zhiwei was busy with his hands and feet before he entered Beijing, and he couldn't help but have a thought of "I don't want to go back to Beijing again".

On March 29 of the eighth year of Changzhi, Yu Jingning, the general soldier of Liaodong, entered the court.

The people of Beijing are bored, and they like to have a good time, except for the first day of the Lunar New Year on Chang'an Street to see the emperor, there are no other large-scale entertainment activities. This time, when the prince of Pingshuo returned victoriously, they found that the triumphant victory of the general and the surrender of the foreign captives were also very good-looking, so the right was the New Year. From Andingmen to Chang'an Avenue, the people were surrounded by water along the way, crowded with people, and it was almost difficult to pass. The small people in the streets and alleys are all out of business, lost their stalls and crowded in the crowd, the restaurants around the streets of the capital are full, and the best place to see is almost sold at a high price, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold.

When Yu Zhiwei was enjoying the joy of throwing fruits, on the top of the tallest restaurant in the capital, the windows were crowded with people, and two young people's faces appeared from the window of one of the private rooms.

Both of them were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were born childish, dressed as noble sons and servants.

The boy lay at the window with an excited face, stretched out his finger and said, "Xiao Ye, I saw Brother Ning!" ”

The little guy who called Xiaoye patted his forehead, not daring to make a mistake, but he said in his heart, my lord, Brother Ning can't watch it, I have to join in the fun at this time.

The boy and brother propped himself up at the window, half of his body was almost hanging outside, Xiao Ye was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his legs, and before he could say a word, he heard his master say again: "She is so good-looking, she is really like her person." ”

Xiao Ye was about to cry: "Young master, the little one knows that the prince is good-looking, and the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law who lost the veil on the first day of the new year in the past two years can see that the little one is not more than two years old." ”

"It's not Brother Ning." The young brother was hugged by Xiao Ye's legs, and he didn't have the slightest intention of introspection, and continued to half-hang on the window, "It's the little general next to Brother Ning, if I guess correctly, this should be the only daughter of King Pingshuo." ”

If she knew in advance that there was a girl stuffed in this group of big men, Yu Zhiwei would still be very recognizable, after all, she looked like a thin dwarf radish in front of Yu Jingning, who was tall and tall.

"I'll just say, how can a girl with such beautiful writing look like a yaksha!" This boy laughed out with a mouthful of white teeth, "The long-tongued woman in Beijing knows how to chew the root of the tongue." Look at it, the lady in Beijing can wear armor and be sharp, and she looks heroic and delicate. ”

Xiao Ye hugged his master's legs, and glanced at Yu Jingning, who had a face underneath, and Yu Zhiwei, who was smiling so hard that her mouth was about to crack to the root of her ears - okay, he admitted that the girl of the Yu family was good-looking, but he couldn't quite understand his master's pleasure of watching girls wear men's clothes.

The boy didn't care about what Xiao Ye was thinking in his heart, and expressed a thousand words in his heart: "I really envy her." ”

Xiao Ye raised his eyebrows and didn't dare to answer.

She can ignore the rumors in Beijing, and ignore all the shackles on women, insist on going north to Liaodong, and personally make war exploits. Her county lord's title was earned by herself, and it was more important than any ancestral shade. Brother Gongzi was a little sentimental, and when he said this, his eyes turned red and he wiped a handful of tears, "How beautiful, free and free." If I have a chance......"

"My lord." As soon as Xiao Ye heard the voice, he knew that his master was crying again, and hurriedly answered, "Forgive Xiao's extra words, you and the children of the Pingshuo Wang family are different after all." They want to go to Liaodong because of their identity, they should have fought for my Daheng and guarded the country for the emperor. You have a heavier burden on you, and you must not risk your life like this. ”

The boy didn't find the handkerchief on his body, his expression was a little excited, and he snorted his nose very sweepingly: "I didn't feel how heavy the burden was on my body...... Brother Ning and his sister retreated from foreign enemies and guarded the country, they are all useful people, so what about me......"

Xiao Ye was afraid that he would say something like "I'm so useless" again, so he hurriedly shouted: "My master! Look at the prince of Pingshuo and the girl of the Yu family, they have passed! It will take them a few hours to get there, but the road is crowded, and it will take you a few hours to go back. If you don't leave, it's too late!! ”
