"This girl..." Wei Zhangshi’s expression darkened upon hearing this, "How can she be so shameless?" She said as she started to walk outside, "I need to bring her back."
"Mom, how can you bring her back now? The whole city is watching the spectacle." Wei Jun quickly held his mother back, "The Emperor has ordered rewards for the entire army."
"Then what should we do?" Wei Zhangshi was stunned.
"What do you mean, what should we do?" Wei Jun laughed instead, "Just prepare a dowry for my elder sister."
"You rascal." Wei Zhangshi slapped her son upon hearing this, "What are you talking about? That’s the royal family, are you suggesting your sister becomes a concubine there?" Her mother-in-law was a concubine, so their family lived a difficult life; she didn’t want her daughter to end up like that.
"Mom, that’s not necessarily the case." Wei Jun, however, shook his head, "Who knows, maybe sister is willing."
"Even if she’s willing, it’s not okay."
"What are you two discussing here?" Wei Bingcen walked in with two colleagues from outside.
"Isn’t it about your good daughter?" Wei Zhangshi felt reassured as soon as her husband returned, "She went to find Prince Qi Jingyi."
Wei Bingcen frowned.
"Today is the day the triumphant forces return." Wei Jun added.
"At this time, even the Crown Prince has gone, how can she find Prince Qi Jingyi?" Wei Bingcen remained rational, "She can only watch the spectacle, what are you worrying about? Besides, Prince Qi Jingyi isn’t someone who acts recklessly; don’t worry, let the children find their own luck."
Wei Zhangshi glared at her husband: "You’re too carefree."
"Alright, here are this week’s orders." Wei Bingcen changed the topic, handing a list to his wife, "This month’s orders increased by twenty percent compared to last month."
"I’ll arrange it right away." Wei Zhangshi took the list and turned to leave.
At this moment, outside the southern gate of Beijing, flags fluttered in the wind, and a hundred thousand ironclad cavalrymen were arrayed spectacularly.
Gu Qingheng caught up with the troops this morning and was at the forefront as the commander-in-chief, while Qi Jingyi and others followed behind him.
"Congratulations, General Gu, on your triumphant return." Crown Prince Qi Jingchen, dressed in the Crown Prince’s ceremonial attire, led civil and military officials out of the city gate early. He stepped out of the carriage and walked to the front of the army. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Thank you, Crown Prince." Gu Qingheng and others quickly dismounted and knelt on one knee, "May the Emperor be blessed with great fortune."
The soldiers behind also followed suit, shouting "May the Emperor be blessed with great fortune," their voices echoing through the mountains and forests.
Qi Jingchen let the crowd shout three times before raising his hand for everyone to rise: "By the Emperor’s decree, all soldiers will receive rewards." He gestured with his hand.
Immediately, a eunuch came forward to announce the rewards for everyone.
The Emperor was generous with the soldiers, rewarding those with merit, with promotions for some, and Silver Coins for others, without leaving anyone out.
The announcement went on for an hour before all the soldiers stationed outside the camp received their rewards. As for the commanders, they would enter the city and be honored by the Emperor personally.
Wei Yao mingled with the crowd, watching the man on horseback proudly pass by her. She felt an indescribable feeling and looked down at her Chicken Blood Jade Pendant. Eventually, she sighed; the distance between them was too great.
At this moment, the man who had already passed suddenly turned back and accurately spotted Wei Yao among the crowd.
