Chapter 33: Return to the Imperial City
A month's journey is very long, but it is not boring to be accompanied by Mu Xiyun, and when he arrives at the gate of the imperial city, there are already officials waiting.
Entered the imperial city and walked on Dengjin Street, the people on both sides consciously stood on both sides, although they did not know King Yan and Princess Yan, but they also knew a lot about what they did in Qiyun Town on the border, and they couldn't help but have a little more respect for them.
Mu Xiyun quietly lifted the curtain to see, the same scene seemed to be the day she married into the Yanwang Mansion, but the clothes and ornaments of the people next to her were much more atmospheric than the people of Qiyun Town, looking at the wide streets and the crowd of people, she couldn't help but let out a burst of screams, and was just about to pull Yu Mingche to say something, when she found that he was sitting in a precarious position, his eyes were closed, as if he was thinking about something?
Thinking about what? Although the Imperial City will come back every few years, they will always come back to report on their work, and they will not stay for long. Now I walked in with the person I loved, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get out.
The courtiers who came back from the border pass to meet the emperor could not return to the mansion first, Yu Mingche could only take Mu Xiyun to hurriedly tidy up and enter the palace with the official who led the way. After entering the palace, he could only walk, Mu Xiyun shouted at the splendid palace and furnishings as he walked, and even the officials who walked in front looked back several times.
Yu Mingche didn't stop it, but just reminded his naughty princess with a gesture and a smile when the official turned around, so as not to be suspicious of others.
After walking for a long time, when the soles of Mu Xiyun's feet began to hurt, he finally arrived at the Danqi in front of the main hall, and the official was just about to hand over the person to the father-in-law who came over, but he didn't expect that Princess Yan would sit on the stairs with her buttocks.
The father-in-law was just about to open his mouth to call them, but he didn't expect King Yan to sit next to her, and touched her head with a smile, and the father-in-law could only quickly walk to the front and say that the emperor was waiting for King Yan in the main hall, Yu Mingche pulled the reluctant Mu Xiyun up the Danqi steps, and at the moment of lifting his foot, King Yan stopped his movements, as if he was hesitating about something, and stepped on it resolutely after a while.
Entering the door of the main hall, King Yan gently pulled Mu Xiyun's hand, shook it heavily, and then let go, Mu Xiyun knew what he meant, and followed him into with standard steps.
The civil and military officials on both sides were already waiting for the arrival of King Yan, he walked directly to the front and knelt down without squinting, Mu Xiyun knelt next to him, and shouted long live and stood up.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair above and looked at Yu Mingche with a smile, and the great eunuch next to him took out the edict and read it majestically:
"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: Yan Wang Yu Mingche, the border for many years, outstanding military achievements, crusade against the rebellious, promote the prestige of our country, this book is awarded in the order, and rewarded with gold 10,000 taels, give the imperial city, Wanger is thrifty, inherit the wind of innocence, Jiazi report to the government, with the will to show the ambition, with the honor, proclaim the world, the salty envoy knows, admire this!"
After receiving the holy decree, three shouts of long live and then thanks, Mu Xiyun has been following Yu Mingche to do these actions, and there was nothing wrong with her, she knew that Sister Xiyun's father and eldest brother were watching her every move from the side, for fear that the sex difference would reveal the stuffing.
After all the red tape of thanksgiving, Yu Mingche was called to the study by the emperor, leaving Mu Xiyun to wander alone in the imperial garden.
When I looked up at the sky, I saw a kite, and several thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls were giggling and flying kites, and after asking the little eunuch next to them, I knew that it was the emperor's ninth princess, Princess Zhuo Yi and her maid.
At this moment, the string of the kite broke and landed on a tall tree, Mu Xiyun was just about to step forward to help them pick up the kite, a man in a bright yellow python robe about sixteen years old jumped up, and the action was done in one go, and when she picked up the kite, Princess Zhuo Yi clapped her hands happily and shouted.
He may not be skilled in martial arts, his feet slipped and fell from the tree, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Mu Xiyun hurriedly kicked up and caught him when he was about to fall to the ground.
But on second thought, wouldn't this expose yourself? Quickly pretended that he didn't know anything, and fell down with him.
Just when he was about to land, a pair of strong arms caught the two of them, and Mu Xiyun quietly opened his eyes to see that it was really his husband.
Putting them on the ground, Prince Yu Chengyun hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Yu Mingche,
"Uncle Huang, thank you for saving your life."
"The prince doesn't have to be polite, I hope the prince will forgive me for my princess's disrespect."
"Princess Yan, thank you." Prince Yu Chengyun was humble and polite, and did not look down on them because of his status as a prince.
It's just that no one saw her when she saluted Mu Xiyun, so she couldn't help but sneak a glance at her, and her face turned red instantly.
Yu Mingche tugged at Mu Xiyun's clothes, and she realized that she hadn't saluted the prince yet, so she hurriedly saluted Yu Chengyun.
The emperor's laughter came, and Yu Mingche, Yu Chengyun and Mu Xiyun hurriedly saluted the emperor again.
"Brother Huang, you haven't seen Chengyun for several years, right?" There was a majesty in his voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's true that I haven't seen Chengyun for several years, and I can't imagine that I have grown so big." Yu Mingche hurriedly replied.
"Uncle Four Emperors, Cheng Yun has long heard about some of your deeds at the border pass, and there will be many places to ask you for advice in the future." Yu Chengyun stood beside the emperor and said to Yu Mingche.
Yu Mingche wanted to say something, but the emperor stopped his humble words and continued
"Brother Huang, don't be modest, I didn't plan to let you go when I came back this time, leave the affairs of the border pass to Wei Chiyan, and come and accompany me more for the rest of the time, and teach your nephew well." After he finished talking to Yu Mingche, he turned around and saw Mu Xiyun's body.
"By the way, you have been married for more than half a year, there is news from the princess, and when you give birth to an heir, I will definitely reward Princess Yan." The emperor said with his beard in his beard and laughing at Mu Xiyun.
Mu Xiyun's face instantly turned red to the base of his neck, how can mortals have to talk about having children when they become relatives, Xiao Songniang is too, so is Yu Mingche, and now His Majesty the Emperor is too, and then look at Yu Mingche, his face is full of pride, it seems that he will be tossed by him again tonight.
"Father, just now the retainer helped Zhuo Yi pick up a kite and almost fell from the tree, but it was Princess Yan who saved the retainer." Yu Chengyun's words broke the harmony just now.
"Well, in that case, it really deserves to be commended, come on!" After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand at the eunuch next to him, and someone immediately brought a brocade box.
"This is the night pearl that Cheng Yuanguo paid us tribute, so let's reward it to Princess Yan now."
Mu Xiyun was just about to run to get the brocade box, Yu Mingche pulled her clothes again, and quickly knelt on the ground to thank the emperor, and then the eunuch handed her the tray containing the brocade box.
When she looked up, she was greeted by the prince's gentle smile, although it was only a glance, but it was enough to make people impressed.
