Chapter 14 The General's Return to the Dynasty

Qi Shangming walked into the imperial study tremblingly, and poured a cup of tea for Yan Feng: "It's not a good thing for the emperor to be angry every day like this, so it's better to send Miss Murong to the imperial concubine and polish her little temperament." Yan Feng was silent. Qi Shangming continued to explain him: "Although Concubine Qiyun is small-minded, she is a well-informed lady, and she will not treat Miss Murong well. Besides, if the emperor misses Miss Murong, he can go to Minghui Palace to visit her, and it's not that he can't see her. Yan Feng remained silent.

The next day, Yan Feng had Murong Zhining and Caisang sent to Minghui Palace. Qi Yunwan asked people to clean up a side hall and let Murong Zhining and Caisang live alone.

Qi Yunhuan was not in a hurry to deal with Murong Zhining, she threw a mouse bogey. She knows very well Murong Zhining's position in Yan Feng's heart, if she makes Yan Feng angry again, she will lose Yan Feng's favor forever, and she must slowly figure out a way. Qi Yunhuan thought to herself: Cai Qin's slave is right, as long as Murong Zhining arrives in her Minghui Palace, isn't it pinched and rounded according to her will? But she can't deal with Murong Zhining for the time being, she just arranges for Murong Zhining and Caisang to do some embroidery light work.

Yan Feng was worried about Murong Zhining, and he often went in and out of Minghui Palace as before. Qi Yunwan was full of emotion, the emperor's feelings have always been in the twilight. Once upon a time, Yan Feng came for her. And now, Yan Feng is willing to set foot in her Minghui Palace for the sake of other women.

On this morning, as usual, Qi Yunwan fed the koi in the pond on the corridor. She sat leisurely on the railing and threw the fish food into the water, and the fish in the water rushed to grab the food, causing a splash. Qi Yunwan looked very unhappy, and the loss of Yan Feng's favor made her feel like a fish thrown to the shore, uncomfortable and unable to breathe.

Qi Yunwan was thinking about her thoughts, and Murong Zhining walked over with an embroidered brocade handkerchief. Murong Zhining respectfully handed the brocade to Qi Yunhuan: "The brocade embroidered by the slave maid has been completed, can the maid be satisfied with it?" Qi Yunwan didn't even look at her: "Let it go." You can talk to Hongu. Can you tell me how you hooked the emperor's soul? Murong Zhining bowed on her knees: "The slave and maid are just temporarily living in the palace, and when the emperor identifies the identity of the slave and maid, the slave and maid will leave the palace." Please don't misunderstand the slave maid, the emperor's heart is always on the mother. Qi Yunwan sneered, but did not answer, her gaze fell arrogantly in the distance.

At this moment, a eunuch came to spread Yan Feng's words. The eunuch said that Qi Yunhuan's younger brother Qi Yun Yuexuan was ordered to return to the dynasty today, and the emperor was grateful for his outstanding military achievements, and he would go to the gate of the palace to greet him according to the highest courtesy, and Qi Yunhuan would also welcome Qi Yun Yuexuan back to the court with the emperor.

Qi Yunhuan was very surprised, she hadn't seen her brother for two years. She ordered someone to change her into a dress for the ceremony, and carefully dressed up, waiting with joy to greet her younger brother Qi Yunyuexuan.

An hour later, Qi Yunwan led Yan Feng to the tower of the palace gate. Yan Feng wore a dress that was only worn for sacrifices and ceremonies, which shows that he attached great importance to the return of Qiyun Yuexuan. Murong Zhining also followed as Qi Yunhuan's palace maid.

After a while, billowing smoke and dust appeared on the official road in the distance to the south, and a group of people and horses walked in the direction of the imperial city. Outside the palace gate, all the way to the city gate, there were crowds of people, and many ordinary people came to watch the grand occasion of the general's return to the court. The civil and military officials were also arranged in two neat rows outside the palace gate.

Most of the teams marched outside the city gates, and only a small group of men led by the commander entered the city. The group was getting closer and closer to the palace, and from the castle tower, the crowd in the distance began to boil, and some ordinary people knelt on both sides of the street, respectfully greeting their general.

At the head of the line was a tall horse with a jet-black coat and shiny coat. The horses are tall and thick, full and well-proportioned, with four slender legs with distinct bones, and thick and wide soles. The horse was covered with thick armor, and the horse's face was also protected with iron armor, leaving only the eyes outside. On horseback, he rode a young general wearing a golden helmet and a big coat. The big one was lifted by the wind, and his body in golden armor sat firmly on horseback. I saw that he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, slender limbs, a blue cloth on his face, and a pair of gold-rimmed eye patches. He carried a long halberd in his hand, and the long golden handle of the halberd was carved with delicate animal patterns, and the bottom of the handle was inlaid with a circle of blue gems. At the top of the halberd, there are two crescent-shaped Ge pieces on the left and right, one large and one small, and there is a snake-shaped curved spear on the top, the spear body is dark red, shining with a secluded light.

The general rode slowly towards the palace gate, and the common people on both sides of the road shouted in unison: "The general is mighty!" The general did not squint, and the majestic momentum made the surroundings amaze. Some onlookers set off firecrackers and beat gongs and drums. In this way, the people of Huayan greeted the general who protected their family and country for them, and the whole honor guard was majestic and solemn.

The general rode to the palace gate, he waved the big gun with his hand, turned over and jumped off the horse, and handed the halberd in his hand to the lieutenant general behind him. The team behind him waved the flag, and the word "Qiyun" was written on the flag.

The general knelt down to the emperor on the palace gate and saluted the king's courtiers, and then got up and walked into the palace gate. Yan Feng and Qi Yunwan walked down the city tower hand in hand and stepped forward to greet them.

The general walked up to Yan Feng and knelt down again to salute the monarch and ministers, and Yan Feng helped him up. After the two saw the salute, they hugged cordially, and everyone saw that the general was even taller than the burly and tall Yan Feng.

Yan Feng patted the general's shoulder: "General Qiyun, I haven't seen you for two years, you have grown so much taller, how can you be embarrassed?" Yan Feng looked at Qi Yun Yuexuan expectantly: "I haven't seen you for more than two years, quickly take off the mask and let me see if you have changed." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Qi Yun Yuexuan, and the atmosphere was inexplicably tense. Qi Yun Yuexuan slowly took off his helmet, took off the blindfold, and untied the green cloth covering his face from the back of his head. A handsome face appeared in everyone's expectant gaze.

That face made everyone gasp. Shouldn't the majestic general have a hellish Shura-like, fierce and vicious face? How can he have a peach blossom face that is as beautiful as a crown of jade, and indistinguishable between male and female? Everyone was stunned, and for a moment they could not describe him in words, but they only remembered four words with a sigh: "Looks like Pan An!" Yan Feng laughed heartily and teased: "I haven't seen you for two years, and my great general has become more and more marked! Are you going to dump my city?" Qi Yun Yuexuan snorted: "Let the emperor see and laugh." His voice was low and broad, and it was very complementary to his seductive peach face, highlighting his masculinity. When people looked at him more closely, they found that the contours of his face were like a knife and axe, except for the pair of narrow and charming phoenix eyes, and the whole body was full of masculinity.

Qi Yun Yuexuan walked in front of Qi Yunhuan and was about to kneel down to salute, but Qi Yunwan hurriedly helped him up. The group walked to the palace with a smile and a smile, Yan Feng was going to have a banquet for civil and military officials tonight, and by the way, he would pick up the wind for Qiyun Yuexuan.

Qi Yun Yuexuan followed Yan Feng to the imperial study first, they hadn't seen each other for two years, and they had a lot to say in public and private.

Yan Feng took out the excerpt of the impeachment of Qi Yun Yuexuan with an anxious face, he was anxious to understand the situation, although Yan Feng always trusted Qi Yun Yuexuan, but he still had to listen to his own answer to go to Yue Xuan to rest assured. The two talked for an hour, and Qi Yun Yuexuan said goodbye, and was led by the palace maid to Minghui Palace. His parents had only watched the welcome from afar, and were now waiting to see him in the Minghui Palace.

Qi Yun Yuexuan hurriedly walked into the Minghui Palace, where Qi Yun Nan and Lady Qi Yun were already waiting. Qi Yun Yuexuan solemnly saluted his parents, Qi Yun Nan helped him up, and hammered a fist on his shoulder with satisfaction: "He is worthy of being the son of this king." ”

Qi Yunwan ordered people to set up a lunch in the hall of the Guanyun Palace, and the family sat around with a smile and a rare family banquet. When the palace maids saw the handsome and extraordinary Yun Yuexuan, they were whispering there with red faces.

In addition to being happy, Qi Yunnan lowered his face and asked: "This king heard that many ministers have recently written to impeach you, saying that you are corrupt and prosperous outside and killing innocents indiscriminately, but is there such a thing?" Qi Yun Yuexuan respectfully hugged Qi Yunnan and said: "Father Wang, please relax, the child has been taught by the father since he was a child, and he will never do anything that insults the reputation of the Yun family." The child has already told the emperor what happened, and the emperor will return the child to an innocent person. Qi Yunnan nodded thoughtfully: "You are not small, this time the king wants to ask the emperor to give you a marriage, you should also take care of it and start a family." Qi Yun Yuexuan bowed to Qi Yun Nan again, only in front of Qi Yun Nan, he would put away his temperament and show a look of awe: "The child has bothered the royal father, please give the child another year, the child wants to build some more merits, and then talk about marriage!" Mrs. Qi Yun kindly took Qi Yun Yuexuan's hand: "Xuan'er, you have to think about your parents, you can't wait any longer, I am also waiting to hold my grandson." Marriage does not conflict with meritorious service. Qi Yun Yuexuan said coquettishly: "Just ask the mother to give the child another year, just one year, okay?" Mrs. Qi Yun shook her head helplessly to compromise, she always had no way to take Qi Yun Yuexuan: "By the way, next time remember to bring Vice President Wu Siyuan to your royal father's mansion for a meal." Qi Yun Yuexuan said: "Mother misses her nephew more than she misses my son. Mrs. Qiyun pretended to be angry and hit him: "Nonsense, I like both of you, you have to take care of your cousin more in the army." Qi Yun Yuexuan bowed respectfully: "The child takes the order." ”

Yan Feng's dinner was held in the Qirui Hall in Wan'an Palace, and all the princes and ministers attended this rare feast. Qi Yun Yuexuan had already stripped off his heavy armor and was wearing a white straight-necked brocade robe, which was tied to his waist with a black jade-inlaid horn belt. His hair was tied high above his head with a white scarf. He shook a folding fan, looking elegant and elegant, and he was like two people in military uniform.

During the banquet, the ministers toasted each other. In the middle of the lobby, there are dancers in the palace singing and dancing, and the soldiers of the Qiyun Army performing sword array drills, and the monarchs and ministers pushing cups and changing lamps, all of which are very enjoyable.

Qi Yunwan sat beside Yan Feng, offering a glass of wine to the ministers from time to time, and Murong Zhining, as one of her close palace maids, stood behind her with her hands down. Perhaps she was so happy, Qi Yunhuan drank a few more glasses, and she was a little drunk.

Yan Feng saw that she was not strong enough to drink, so he ordered the palace maid to send her back to the palace to rest. Murong Zhining respectfully stepped forward to support Yun Huan, but she pushed her to the ground.
