A month later...

The streets of the capital are noisy with gongs and drums, crowds of people, and firecrackers are ringing out in order to welcome the triumphant return of General Hongji.

"Huh? The one at the head of the row riding a white horse is General Hongji, who looks like he's in his early twenties. A man watching the excitement said.

"That's him, didn't they all say that he was only a teenager when he was in charge? What a young and promising person! Another passerby chimed in.

"That next to General Hongji must be her sister Bu Zheng, she led the troops to quell the palace mutiny at the age of fourteen, and then led the troops to support the front line alone, at that time it was a sensation in the whole capital, and she was only eighteen years old when she came back from the expedition, and she was really a model for women of my generation!" A woman pointed to the kite path next to Buyun.

The lively street was full of people, and the former Bu Yun looked at the flowers when his father and uncle returned from northern Xinjiang, and his eyes were full of envy, and now he has become the protagonist of this street, but he can't share the joy with them, but fortunately, there is a sister next to him, although the step kite next to him is still a little absent-minded.

Bu Yun looked at his thoughtful sister next to him and asked, "Xiaozheng, what are you thinking?"

"Brother, I'm thinking, I'm going to enter the court later, will those ministers not let me enter the court." Buzheng also knew that on this happy day, he was indeed a little disappointed with his sad face, so he made up a reason casually.

"Don't worry, my brother inquired before entering Beijing, and there are not many objections to your questions in the court." Bu Yun patted Bu Zheng's shoulder and comforted. But he knew that his sister was thinking much more than that.

Although Bu Yun is a military general in Beijing, he is a typical handsome guy in Jiangnan, with delicate and handsome facial features, deep and firm eyes, and a delicate mind, perhaps this has something to do with his mother being born in Suzhou.

Bu Zheng and Bu Yun look very similar, tall and tall, and because of the perennial battlefield, the skin is rough and dark, if you wear men's clothes, you will also look a little manly. On the battlefield, when Bu Yun was wounded, he wore his armor, rode his white horse, and held his dragon spear to confuse the enemy.

……

Bu Yun walked into the hall with a kite, and most of the people in the hall were seniors who had dealings with their fathers during his lifetime, but the intersection was not deep, and they could only be said to be familiar.

"Chen Buyun (step kite) knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." The two said in unison.

"Hurry up, two of you." Sitting on the Ming Hall is obviously the Son of Heaven, but he has no slightest, and his face is very kind, and anyone who may become an emperor must have a kind side.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them got up, and looked at the man who was less than thirty above the Ming Hall, but his eyes were full of the old man's kindness. Bu Yun also felt that his former good brother now looked more like his elder.

After retiring from the court, the emperor left the two brothers and sisters to enter the palace together to reminisce in the imperial garden. In the evening, a banquet was specially set up for the two to stay in the palace to eat together, saying that it was for them to catch the wind and wash the dust. Although the step kite at this time really wanted to go back to rest and sleep, how could the emperor's will be violated?

At the dinner party, the emperor made the two brothers and sisters more casual and comfortable, and there were only the emperor and queen and their two brothers and sisters and some servants who served.

"This time it's all your own people, you don't have to be formal, let the palace people clip what you want to eat" The emperor was the first to speak.

"Yes." Both siblings saluted and sat down.

It is said that there is no formality, but the etiquette must also be observed, and the emperor and queen did not dare to pick up the dishes before they moved the chopsticks, and they were afraid that they would be said to be arrogant. If the generals lose their proportions, it will be a major event that will alarm the court. At worst, they will be demoted and dismissed, and at worst, they will be beheaded all over the house.

The whole banquet was for the emperor and Bu Yun to talk about some old things and trivial matters in the army. The kite is only responsible for picking vegetables and eating vegetables next to it. After all, there are no such delicacies in northern Xinjiang.

"Xiao Zheng, this palace remembers that you were only fourteen years old when you last entered the palace, and now you are eighteen, right?" The queen said suddenly.

When he was suddenly asked about his age, Buzheng seemed to smell the smell of urging marriage, and was a little overwhelmed, so he hurriedly stood up and replied: "Hui Niangniang, yes, the minister is eighteen years old this year."

"Eh, Xiaozheng sat down, and said that it was like his own home," the emperor waved his hand. Sit down with your head on your head.

"As the saying goes, what girl doesn't have a spring, what favorite man can you meet in the barracks?" The queen continued.

Bu Zheng suddenly blushed, this queen mother is inevitably too outspoken...

"Hui Niangniang..."

"Back to Niangniang, Xiaozheng's marriage is also what Weichen's brother has been worried about, and Weichen has the courage to ask the emperor and Niangniang for Xiaozheng for a golden and jade relationship." Without waiting for Bu Zheng to answer, Bu Yun stood up first.

Buzheng was speechless, he didn't worry about his twenties, but he was worried that he couldn't marry a teenager.

"What do you think of the little kite? There are two suitable candidates here in this palace. The queen continued.

Even the candidates are available... Can she still escape? If it weren't for the fact that they had just returned to Beijing, Buzheng would have wondered if the three of them had secretly planned behind their backs for a month.

"But it's up to the mother." Bu Zheng said helplessly.

"Well, the first one is Li Jingyou, the eldest son of Li Chenhui, the current imperial historian, this palace remembers that your two families are world friends, and there is no need to say more about the situation in their house."

Of course they know, they grew up together! She suddenly remembered that she was wearing a red long dress, pressing Li Jingyou's head and worshipping each other under the loquat tree in Bufu, and even clearly remembered that the young man wore a white gown that day... Belch... What a happy event...

"It seems that Li Jingyou's kid still hasn't escaped from my palm after all." Bu Zheng thought to himself.

"The second is today's new champion, known as the first beautiful man in the capital..."

"The second one!" Before the queen could finish speaking, Buzheng hurriedly replied. Buzheng suddenly felt rude, and lowered his head in shame...

"Lin Shangchen, who is known as the first beautiful man in the capital, has the best talent in the world, has been in business for generations, and the official position has not yet been decided, Xiaozheng, which one do you choose?" The queen smiled and continued.

"The second one...", the step kite is so difficult. But everyone laughed tacitly, and Buzheng also felt embarrassed, so he sat down.

On the way back to Bufu after the dinner, Buzheng also looked sad, different from the concealment during the day, this time Buzheng directly confessed: "Brother, I regret it a little now that I think about it." ”

"Regret what?" Bu Yun asked.

"I have never met that Lin Shangchen, will he not like me, or his heart belongs to something else, then am I not a sinner?" Buzheng asked worriedly.

Back then, she didn't drink water and forced her head to worship her Jingyou brother and wife, and made a lot of jokes, and she already regretted it, begging Jingyou's brother's psychological shadow area at that time, she didn't want anyone to stop her from deciding something good, and she didn't want to force others to like someone she didn't like.

Buzheng did not choose Li Jingyou to continue the "relationship between husband and wife" because his father is quite prestigious in the court, and his brother is a marshal in the army, if the two families marry, the emperor will definitely be more jealous, plus Buzheng also knows that Li Jingyou doesn't like himself at all, and is even a little bored, of course, "the first beautiful man in the capital" is also very tempting.

"No matter what, I can't change it now, don't worry, with me, he will never be able to bully you." Bu Yun touched her head and said. With Buzheng alone's own strength, no one can bully her.
