The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 628 The Return of the King

Xu Wanning couldn't understand his son's stubborn appearance the most. Without saying a word, he went up to hit someone, but before he slapped someone, Brother Ping turned over neatly, held the seat with one hand, and jumped briskly. Going behind the chair, he yelled, "Mother, why do you beat me when you see me? I'm your own son. If it breaks, who will take care of you?"

Xu Wanning was so angry that she had nothing to do with her son. Sister Zhuang helped her mother to sit down, and scolded her younger brother: "Look at yourself, except that you can see this face, you don't look like a noble son."

Hearing this, Brother Ping raised his hand to touch his face, and said without shame: "The most important thing is to be handsome, my young master, I am all counting on this handsome face to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law."

Xu Wanning snorted coldly: "If any girl gets married just because of your face, she will regret it and cry."

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

After all, he no longer gave his mother and elder sister any chance to scold him, and walked out of Bitangju with his servant.

When we were outside, the servant couldn't help but asked Brother Ping, "Since the young master likes the young lady of the Cai family, Mrs. Cai and the young lady were discussing your marriage just now, why didn't the young master take this opportunity to explain it to his wife."

"So what if I say so?" Brother Ping stopped, looked at the boy and asked, "Can the mother go to the Cai family to propose marriage? Or if the mother proposes, can the Cai family marry Meier to me?"

The Cai family has a scholarly family for generations, and Yimei is a talented woman who has only been in the capital. Although Brother Ping comes from a noble background, a young man like him who is not good at writing and ink obviously does not meet the Cai family's criteria for choosing a son-in-law.

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

After hearing Brother Ping's words, the young man faltered and said, "Young master is right, but are you willing to miss that Miss Cai?"

"Of course you can't." Brother Ping continued to walk forward, muttering: "If you can't even earn the woman you love, what kind of man is he?"

The little servant hurriedly followed Brother Ping, and Baba offered a plan: "Young Master, if you want to fulfill your wish, it will not be difficult. Your Majesty has always loved you. Go and ask your Majesty for a marriage. This will be done."

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

Seeing the displeasure of the master, the young servant hurriedly confessed: "The little one is also for the sake of the master's wish."

Brother Ping replied: "If you rely on imperial power to force Mei'er to agree, she will not be happy." He rolled his eyes at the young servant, and said coldly, "If this is the case, you are not allowed to say it again."

The little servant hurriedly confessed: "My lord, calm down, I will definitely never dare again from now on."

Seeing that he knew his mistake, Brother Ping finally calmed down, and said confidently: "My lord, if I want to marry a beautiful woman, I will naturally use my wisdom to capture her heart. I want her to marry happily and willingly." 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. Those who don't want to give money and return home.

At the beginning of November, Li Ling handled all the matters of surrendering to the country properly, and led the army to return in triumph.

At noon that day, the sun was shining brightly, and the families of the soldiers from the Southern Expedition stood on the top of 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 greet them. In the triumphant army, there were also many girls standing on the embroidered building, half covering their faces with round fans, throwing purses of fragrant fruits on the young soldiers.

From high-ranking officials and dignitaries to low-value traffickers and pawns, people in prosperous times exude satisfaction and joy all over their bodies.

Completely subjugated the Gaoshan Kingdom, Daqi has reached its peak of 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 started dressing up carefully with the help of her maid.

At ten o'clock at noon, 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 a dragon robe to enter the palace. He dismounted and went straight to the inner palace.

The scorching sun at noon was as bright as fire, and he walked towards her in shining armor, just like when he was still the son of the Duke's mansion, every time he returned from an expedition.

The golden helmet and silver armor, the fierce red cloak, that tall, tough and majestic man was simply more dazzling than the scorching sun.

Jing Shu, who was dressed in a phoenix robe, was surrounded by the palace people. According to the rules, she should have stood on the dragon and phoenix platform and waited quietly for the emperor to come to the front and back, and then went down the steps to pay homage. It can be seen that the moment she saw her husband, her heart Then he jumped up wildly, walking 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, and he walked straight towards his beloved wife with big strides. Just when he was about to touch his wife, Princess Bao ran over happily, Sweetly calling out: "Father, Father, I miss you so much." Ji'er was small, with short legs tumbling quickly, and then ran towards his father.

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

Seeing this, Princess Bao glanced slightly, but when she saw her parents loving her, she smiled again. But Ji'er was so young and ignorant, he grabbed his tall father's armor, raised his head and kept yelling: " 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 burning heat in his heart due to longing. Looking at the noisy young son, he looked at his beloved daughter at the side again, and said with a smile: "My princess Bao has grown taller and more beautiful."

Jingshu, Princess Bao and Ji'er saw Li Ling, and they were so happy that they carried themselves away. The prince's face was still calm, and he stood under the dragon and phoenix platform, with a tall and straight figure. Walking slowly towards his father, he first respectfully greeted his father with a national salute, and said in a loud voice: "I welcome your majesty's return." Then he saluted father and son to Li Ling: "Father fought hard, and I miss him very much."

Li Ling looked at his eldest son. Although he suppressed the smile on his face, he couldn't hide the relief and pride in his eyes. He replied: "Although I am away from war, there are often reports from the cabinet. It’s right, my son can do it, and I’m so relieved.”
