The windows on both sides of the street reopened after the inexplicable smoke dissipated, and only one was still tightly closed.
"Why are you here so late?" Su Xi was wearing a moon white dress and sat at the table, looking at the man who had just opened the door and entered with complaints.
Shen Yu shook her head, with a look of impatience: "Don't mention it, my father doesn't know what happened today, he taught me early in the morning, and I finally found a reason to come out to see you."
Shen Yu is the second master of the Marquis of Changning. Regardless of his identity, Shen Yu has a dignified appearance and an elegant temperament, so it's no wonder Su Xi is so active towards him.
Only then did Su Xi get up and untie the cloak for Shen Yu with her own hands: "Didn't you say that my aunt will come to my house to propose marriage in a few days? I have been waiting for several days and no one has come. My mother and my grandmother both said Don't let people laugh at my mother."
Hearing what Su Xi said, a trace of displeasure suddenly flashed across Shen Yu's fair face: "My mother has already agreed, didn't this mean I found an eminent monk to see her life?" Shen Yu glanced at the beauty in front of her again, and Shen Yu's face turned pale. The displeasure disappeared: "You tell your mother not to go out and talk nonsense these days. You also know that my mother thinks your house is a business owner, so she was not very satisfied. It was hard for me to get her to nod."
Su Xi couldn't hear Shen Yu's words, and only felt that Shen Yu disliked her own background. Although she was very upset, she didn't show it on her face, she just pretended to be coquettish: "Yes, I'm a girl from a merchant family. If you don't like me, you should find someone else to be your wife, and don't stop me from finding Mr. Right as soon as possible."
With that said, Su Xi walked towards the window.
Su Xi was good-looking, but now she is even more pitiful when she is coquettish. Shen Yu chased up with a smile and wrapped Su Xi in her arms from behind, put her mouth next to her ear and said: "You are mine now, and I want to marry you!" other people?"
Su Xi knew how to refuse but still welcome. Seeing Shen Yu chasing him, she made a gesture to open the window: "Don't make trouble, I still want to see the soldiers who came to Beijing."
"What's so interesting about them? Why don't you take a look at your husband and me." Shen Yu laughed and pushed Su Xi down on the table.
Su Xi exclaimed, and stretched out her arms to stop Shen Yu from moving: "Then when will you call your aunt to come over to propose marriage? I can't just follow you like this all the time, if people find out..."
Before Su Xi could finish asking, she was immediately silenced.
At the same time, the figure of the team entering Beijing also disappeared at the gate of the city.
"Hoo~!" Holding the rein in his hand, Chu Yan reined in behind the coach, General Sun Changting, and stopped outside the palace gate.
Standing quietly at the gate of the palace were two men in their early twenties, the sixth prince and the seventh prince.
Seeing the Seventh Prince, Chu Yan nodded to him imperceptibly, and got off the horse with Sun Changting.
The seventh prince first bowed his hands to Sun Changting, and then said to the group of people who followed Sun Changting: "Everyone has worked hard all the way, and the father has ordered someone to set up a banquet for everyone. Please."
As he said that, a waiter who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to lead the way for those people. Qin Tong's eyes widened when he heard the banquet and greeted the wind, and he was about to leave behind the group of people. Seeing Qin Tong going after him, the servant grabbed his arm, trying to remind him not to leave yet.
"Why are you dragging me?" Qin Tong turned his head and glared at the servant, his eyes like copper bells.
Qin Tong had already cultivated a killing spirit on the battlefield, but now the servant who was frightened by staring at him trembled and couldn't even speak.
The Seventh Prince smiled when he saw this, and explained to Qin Tong: "Father is waiting to meet you in the imperial study. General Qin, don't worry, Father will hold another banquet for the heroes later."
There were only three people the emperor planned to meet in person this time. One was the coach Sun Changting, and the other was Chu Yan and Qin Tong, two people who had made great contributions.
Hearing the Seventh Prince calling himself General Qin, Qin was amused: "Do you know me?"
The Seventh Prince shook his head: "I don't recognize General Qin, but I recognize your armor."
Sun Changting was used to Qin Tong's stupidity, and he was afraid that Qin Tong would talk nonsense in front of the emperor, so Sun Changting said: "Qin Tong, you follow behind me, and you are not allowed to speak without my permission!"
Qin Tong hurriedly followed behind Sun Changting, looking at Chu Yan who was wearing the same silver armor as himself, Qin Tong asked Chu Yan in a low voice: "We are wearing the same armor, how does he know that I am Qin?" same?"
Facing Qin Tong's stupid look, Chu Yan patiently explained to him: "He knows me."
The Seventh Prince exchanged a few words with Sun Changting, then cupped his hands to Chu Yan and said, "Long time no see. The last time I saw you, you were still lying on the bed. I didn't expect that it has only been more than a year, and you have been completely reborn." Aside from their private relationship, they are cousins in the eyes of others, and it is reasonable for the Seventh Prince to treat Chu Yan like this.
"Long time no see." Surprisingly, Chu Yan's attitude towards the Seventh Prince was indifferent.
In fact, this was what they had discussed before. Chu Yan was introduced by Prince Yan to the emperor to train him to be a "pure minister". Naturally, he could not have too much contact with other princes, let alone get close to other princes.
The sixth prince didn't say a word the whole time, and now seeing the seventh prince being neglected in front of Chu Yan, he secretly smiled in his heart, but on his face he seemed to be thinking of the emperor: "Father may have been waiting for a long time, everyone, please."
Chu Yan's eyes flicked past the sixth prince, who he had used as a raft a lot before.
The sixth prince and the seventh prince walked in the front side by side. They are both about the same height and figure, but they give people the impression that they are not the same at all.
The seventh prince gave people the impression of being calm and dignified, and he seemed to be someone who could accomplish great things, while the sixth prince... probably because of the upbringing of his mother and concubine, he always seemed a little petty in his speech and actions.
It's no wonder that the seventh prince never put the sixth prince in his eyes before.
Arriving outside the imperial study room, after being told by the servants, everyone finally saw the emperor. Qin Tong was a little nervous, but Chu Yan was calm and calm, and followed Sun Changting to kneel on the ground and made a big salute: "My humble minister greets the emperor, long live my emperor Long live long live."
The emperor's eyes fell on Chu Yan with approval, and he said with a smile: "My loves, please hurry up."
After everyone got up, the emperor said again: "This time we can win the battle, thanks to Sun Aiqing." Judging from the emperor's relaxed and cheerful tone, he was very satisfied with the result of this battle.
Sun Changting bowed and said: "I dare not take credit for it. The smooth ending of this battle is mostly thanks to these two young generals!" Then the topic was brought to Chu Yan and Qin Tong.
