Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 628 Return of the King

Xu Wanning couldn't stand the naughty look of her son. Without saying a word, he went up to hit someone. However, before his palm touched the person, Brother Ping turned over neatly, held the seat with one hand, and jumped briskly. He went behind the chair and shouted: "Mom, why do you beat me when you see me? I am your biological son. If I am broken, who will take care of you in old age?"

Xu Wanning was so angry that she had nothing to do with her son. Sister Zhuang helped her mother sit down and scolded her brother: "Look at yourself. Apart from this face, you don't have the dignity of a noble son."

Hearing this, Brother Ping raised his hand and touched his face, and said shamelessly: "Being handsome is the most important thing. I am counting on this handsome face to find a beautiful wife."

Xu Wanning snorted coldly: "If any girl is confused and gets married based on your face alone, she will regret it and cry in the future."

"Hey! Let's see." Brother Ping raised his eyebrows: "I will definitely marry the most beautiful and talented girl in the world in the future."

 After saying that, he no longer gave his mother and eldest sister a chance to scold him, and walked out of Bitangju with his young servant.

When they were outside, the young man couldn't help but ask Brother Ping: "Since the young master likes the Miss Cai family, the madam and the eldest lady are discussing your marriage. Why don't the young master take this opportunity to make it clear to the madam?"

“What can I do if I just say it?” Brother Ping stopped, looked at the boy and asked, “Can mother go to the Cai family to propose marriage? Or if mother goes to propose, then can the Cai family marry me?”

The Cai family has been a scholarly family for generations, and Yi Mei is a talented woman with talents all over the capital. Although Brother Ping is of noble birth, a young man like him who is not good at writing obviously does not meet the Cai family's standards for selecting a son-in-law.

No matter how anxious Xu Wanning is about her son's marriage, she is self-aware. She can't bear to touch the Cai family's cold face.

After hearing what Brother Ping said, the young man hesitated and said, "Young Master is right, but are you willing to miss Miss Cai?"

"Of course you can't." Brother Ping continued to walk forward and murmured: "If he can't win over the woman he loves, what kind of man is he?"

The young man hurriedly followed Brother Ping, and offered his advice: "Young Master, it's not difficult for you to get your wish. Your Majesty always loves you, so go and ask her to marry you, and it will be done."

Hearing this, Brother Ping immediately stopped and looked at the boy in disbelief: "Where did you learn these bad ideas?"

Seeing that his master was displeased, the young man hurriedly apologized: "Young master, I am just doing this so that the young master can get what you want."

Brother Ping replied: "If we rely on imperial power to force Mei'er to agree, she will be unhappy." He rolled his eyes at the boy, and said coldly with a downcast face: "Such words are not allowed in the future."

The young man hurriedly apologized: "Young master, please calm down. I will definitely never dare to do it again in the future."

Seeing that he realized his mistake, Brother Ping's expression finally softened, and he said confidently: "Master, if I want to marry a beautiful woman, I will naturally rely on my wisdom to capture her heart. I want her to marry her willingly and happily. I."

The Qi army was overwhelming and the Gaoshan Kingdom was defeated day by day. A few days after the Qi army arrived at the imperial city of Gaoshan Kingdom, Li Ling sent envoys to meet with the king of Gaoshan Kingdom for negotiation. After several days of negotiations, Gaoshan Kingdom agreed to surrender to Da Qi, but Li Ling did not execute him. After killing members of the royal family of Gaoshan Kingdom, he made the emperor of Gaoshan Kingdom the Marquis of Wu. In order to prevent them from returning to the country in the future, Li Ling ordered the entire royal family to move to the capital. As for the important civil and military ministers of Gaoshan Kingdom, those who were willing to be loyal to Da Qi were still given official titles. If he doesn't want to, he will be given money and silk to return home. At the beginning of November, Li Ling settled all the surrender matters and led his army back in triumph.

At noon that day, the sun was shining brightly, and the families of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition stood on the city tower and looked at the triumphant army. When the majestic army entered the city, the whole long street immediately boiled, and people happily beat gongs and drums to welcome them. In the victorious army, there were also many girls standing on the embroidery tower with their faces half covered with round fans, and they were throwing purse-string fruits on the young soldiers.

 

  Completely surrendered the Gaoshan Kingdom, and Da Qi reached the peak of its prosperity.

Jingshu and the children could not leave the imperial city. When she learned that her husband was coming back today, Jingshu was so excited that she got up before dawn and was dressed up by her maid.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Li Ling entered the imperial city with his personal guards. Before entering the inner palace, according to the rules, the emperor should take off his armor and wear dragon robes to enter the palace. However, Li Ling saw that his wife and children were eager, so he turned over after entering the imperial city. After dismounting, he went straight to the inner palace.

The midday sun was as bright as fire, and he walked toward her in shining armor, just like he did when he returned from an expedition when he was the heir apparent.

Golden helmet and silver armor, red fierce cloak, that stalwart, tough and majestic man is simply more dazzling than the scorching sun.

Jingshu, who was wearing a phoenix robe, was surrounded by palace people. According to the rules, she should have stood on the dragon and phoenix platform and waited quietly for the emperor to arrive before going down the steps to pay homage. It can be seen that the moment she saw her husband, her heart was filled with emotion. He jumped up wildly and hurriedly walked towards him uncontrollably.

 After being apart for several months, she missed him every moment. She couldn't care less and couldn't wait to hug him.

The moment Jingshu walked down the steps, Li Ling's steps became more brisk. He walked straight towards his beloved wife with long strides. Just when he was about to touch his wife, Princess Bao ran over happily. He called sweetly: "Father, Father, I miss you so much." Ji'er was small, and her short legs moved quickly, and she ran towards her father.

Facing his wife and children, Li Ling hesitated for a blink of an eye, but he still instinctively held his wife's hand first, and then, regardless of everyone's gaze, tightly hugged his wife who he missed day and night.

Princess Bao glanced slightly at this, but seeing her parents' love, she smiled again, but Ji'er was young and ignorant. He grabbed his tall father's armor, raised his head and kept shouting: " Father, please hug me. Father, please don’t just focus on hugging my mother, you should also hug Ji’er.”

Li Ling hugged his wife tightly for a long time, as if only touching her with his body could relieve the heat in his heart caused by missing her. After he calmed down, Li Ling looked at his children. He first hugged her and kept shouting. Looking at the noisy young son, he looked at his beloved daughter beside him and said with a smile: "My precious princess has grown taller again and is even more beautiful."

Jing Shu, Princess Bao and Ji'er met Li Ling and were so happy that they forgot about it. The prince's face remained calm. He stood under the dragon and phoenix platform with an upright posture. After his father, mother and siblings had made love, he Slowly walked towards his father, first he respectfully gave his father the national gift, and said loudly: "My son, I respectfully welcome your Majesty's return." Then he gave Li Ling the father-son gift: "My father worked hard in the war, and I miss him very much."

Li Ling looked at his eldest son. Although he suppressed the smile on his face, he could not hide the joy and pride in his eyes. He replied: "Although I am away at war, I often report to the cabinet. The prince handles government affairs during his supervision of the country." It’s appropriate, my son is capable, I feel very relieved.”
