Chapter 12: The Past [1]
On December 18, the 25th year of Jing'an, the king of Huainan returned to the dynasty after Yan Tianlin's class returned to the dynasty and returned with a great victory.
Emperor Jing'an personally led the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to meet him at the gate of the city.
Wanyan Tianlin rode a horse, and behind him was a team of elite soldiers, majestic.
"The minister has lived up to His Majesty's trust and returned with the order." Wan Yan Tianlin turned over and dismounted, kneeling on one knee.
"Brother Tianlin, it's my luck to have you here." Emperor Jing'an picked up Yan Tianlin with both hands and said, "Go back to the house quickly, my sister-in-law gave birth to a little padded jacket for you."
"Yes." After hearing this, Yan Tianlin was very excited, and immediately saluted Emperor Jing'an, turned over and rode towards the Huainan Palace.
Emperor Jing'an looked at Yan Tianlin's anxious appearance, shook his head helplessly and chuckled, and said: "You all go back first to accompany your family, don't forget to come to the celebration banquet in the evening, I will wash the dust for you."
"Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Jing'an, and they were all happy for what Emperor Jing'an said!
In front of the Huainan Palace
Hua Yilan waited at the door early with Wanyan Zitong, who was only a month old, and was about to become a wangfu stone.
"Lan'er." A deep and deep voice came, and in the next second, Hua Yilan was tightly hugged by Wanyan Tianlin.
"Brother Lin, it's good to be back, it's good to be back." Hua Yilan choked.
"Sister-in-law?" Wanyan Tianlin let go of Hua Yilan, walked towards Wanyan Zitong, hugged Wanyan Zitong, who had just turned a month, in his arms tightly, and after kissing his little cheek, he hugged him into the house.
The house had already arranged a sumptuous banquet, and Yan Tianlin came to the front hall with his little padded jacket all the way.
After sitting on the seat, Hua Yilan said with a smile: "Brother Lin, give the little concubine to the nurse, you can taste the food to your liking, and you will go to the palace later."
"yes, okay." After Yan Tianlin responded, he smiled and handed Xiao Wan Yan Zitong into the hands of the nurse, and then took a rectangular box from the hands of the subordinates behind him and handed it to Hua Yilan: "Lan'er, this is the white fox I hunted personally, and I found the best tailor on the border to make a cloak for you, with your favorite double-sided embroidery on it, and I can't find a second one in the whole of Kyoto."
"Thank you, Brother Lin, I'll be watching later, let's eat first!" Hua Yilan returned with a smile, and put a piece of fish meat in Wan Yan Tianlin's bowl.
That's it, after Yan Tianlin and Hua Yilan have finished eating, it's not too early, it's time to go to the palace banquet.
They arrived late, and there were almost no empty seats at the banquet.
In the palace, the feast of the wind, the Jing'an Emperor was overjoyed, and the soldiers were rewarded for their meritorious deeds.
Soon the banquet ended, Emperor Jing'an left the Huainan Wang's family and the Zhenbei general Shen Lin's family in the palace, and the Jing'an Emperor, the Huainan King and the Zhenbei general Shen Lin talked all night.
Queen Su Yan pulled Hua Yilan and General Zhenbei's wife Xia He together and whispered.
The next morning, Hua Yilan had just entered the inner room to see Xiao Wan Yan Zitong, and soon after, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a handsome little boy walked in.
The little boy was about three or four years old, wearing a light blue robe, with a little stability on his little face, and stood aside upright after entering the room to give Hua Yilan a salute.
"Aunt Lan, is this the little sister? It's so cute! The little boy stared curiously at Xiao Wan Yan Zitong who Hua Yilan was holding in his arms, and the little boy cautiously stretched out his little hand and touched Xiao Wan Yan Zitong's little face and said, "Aunt Lan, can I hug my sister?"
"My sister is too young now, you can't hug it yet." Hua Yilan said softly.
"That sister has to grow up quickly, and when she grows up, my brother can take you to play, and I can teach you to read and write."
"Okay, Yi'er, in the future, you have to take care of Xiao Jiao'er for Aunt Lan, don't let others bully Xiao Jiao'er!" Hua Yilan said to the little boy with a smile on her face.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and Kyoto has ushered in a snowy winter.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace is celebrated, and the entire palace is brightly lit.
Snow covered the entire ground, and the eaves were also white.
The lights under the eaves are reflected in the snow, which makes this cold winter also have a little warmth.
In the main hall, the singing and dancing are leveled, the sound of silk and bamboo is endless, the women are dressed in palace clothes, dressed gorgeously, and the men are wearing official uniforms. Emperor Jing'an, dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the main seat, and Empress Su Yan sat on the right.
On the lower left are Wanyan Tianlin's family and Shen Lin's family, and below the queen are ministers and family members such as the prime minister.
Everyone congratulated Emperor Jing'an: "I wish Your Majesty a healthy dragon and eternal peace."
"I wish the queen a prosperous and auspicious New Year."
After everyone congratulated, they began to enjoy the song and dance.
Here, Hua Yilan, Su Yan, and Xia He chatted about family life: "Queen, are you afraid that you are 3 months pregnant?" Hua Yilan looked at Su Yan's protruding belly and asked.
"Sister Lan, it's been more than four months." Su Yan replied with a smile.
"You are really not righteous, and you don't send someone to inform me and Xiaohe for such a happy event, so that we can also be happy!" Hua Yilan quipped.
