Ye Pingrong is coming back.

He is going to war and will be out there, and nothing will happen quickly back to Beijing. Even if there is a military newspaper, unless it is a great victory, he will not yell at the ordinary people about the war.

Ordinary war reports will only be sent to the palace for the emperor to consult with his subjects, but will not tell others casually.

It is true that Ye Jiao is Ye Pingrong's sister, but Ye Pingrong is completely unaware of what Ye Pingrong is doing at the border and how the war is going.

This was the first time Ye Jiao heard the news of Ye Pingrong since the last great victory at the border. As a result, she knew that her eldest brother was stationed in Shili Pavilion, very close to the capital.

Ye Jiao immediately smiled, stretched out her hand and dragged Qi Yun and said, "can I go and see the eldest brother?"

Qi Yun knows that Ye Jiao is very concerned about Ye Pingrong. Her wife has always been "who is good to her, she will be good to her." Ye Dalang never kept it in mind when he treated her, so Ye Jiao naturally kept Ye Pingrong in mind all the time.

Now when hear that Ye Pingrong has returned, it's normal to want to have a look.

But Qi Yun gently hugged Ye Jiao and said in a slow voice, "I also wanted to see the eldest brother earlier, but the man who led the battle was different from others. As long as he did not return to Beijing and did not report the situation of the war to the emperor, he was still on the battlefield and could not easily see others, not to mention that now that he was stationed in the Shili Pavilion, it was bound to be directed by the emperor, and he would naturally have a reliance to welcome him tomorrow. There are a lot of things to prepare for, so we'd better wait. "

The little ginseng was a listener, and what Qi Yun said was very reasonable, so she nodded, but the smile on her face could not be stopped.

At this time, Qi Ming, who was in the study, also got the news. He and Xiao Yuanbai looked at each other, and there was some joy in their eyes.

The role of the Privy Council is to assist the prime minister in charge of military and political affairs, in charge of military secrets, and in charge of border defense.

When something happened at the border this time, the Privy Council was the first to know.

As the mandate of the Privy Council, both Qi Ming and Xiao Yuanbai paid special attention to Ye Pingrong's war, and now they were relieved to know that he had won.

Not only for Ye Pingrong's joy, but also because a calm war is a good thing for the Privy Council.

At least they will have a day off tomorrow.

Xiao Yuan Bai has always been calm in mind, although he is happy in his heart at the moment, but his face is still faint: "this is a happy event. Tomorrow you will come with me to meet General Ye outside the city."

Qi Ming smiled and nodded in a cheerful tone: "since it is a great victory, according to the promise made by General Ye to his Majesty before, I think there will be no more enemies at the border for 30 years."

Xiao Yuanbai nodded, the corners of his mouth slightly warped, looking very relieved.

However, when it comes to this, Qi Ming is still a little puzzled: "Brother Xiao, you said that those small countries and foreign countries have always caused trouble, but now that the country is rich and the people are strong, why not accept them as subordinate countries? will it not be more stable for a long time?"

Hearing the words, Xiao Yuanbai first picked up the tea and sipped it, and then said, "since the founding of the country, I don't have to be courtiers of other countries, not because I can't, but because I don't want to."

Qi Ming sat up slightly and straightened up and said, "Oh?" What does that mean? "

In the past, Xiao Yuanbai would not have talked about these things to others in private, but now he and Qi Ming are colleagues, and Qi Ming is right about his mind. Xiao Yuanbai does not mind saying a few more words: "when the national power of the former dynasty was at its peak, it was said that its subjects paid tribute every year, but the court had to spend ten times a hundred times as much money to feed them. The wolf heart was not enough, and how much money could not be fed. In this dynasty, there is no longer a vassal state, and there is no need for that face. "

These things can not be read in books, even if Qi Ming reads well and does well in his composition, but in the end, he comes from an ordinary merchant and peasant household, and some things can look far away, but he will not look back.

But Xiao Yuanbai is different. The Xiao family can stand in Hedong for hundreds of years. Their inheritance is naturally different from that of others, and the things they see are also different from those of others.

Others think that all countries come to celebrate respectable and magnificent, but in the view of a high-ranking family like the Xiao family, history has proved that wolves are not well-fed, it is better to be pragmatic, and naturally they will not think too much about it.

Xiao Yuanbai said, "besides, those bandits are desperate because of the bad conditions of their own country. What's the use if you really want to take such a place where there is no growing grass?" The Ministry of Household alone can make a scene, or not. "

Qi Ming nodded, took Xiao Yuanbai's words to heart, thought again and said, "since this is the case, there can be no shortage of money to support the army, otherwise the border defense will be troublesome."

Xiao Yuanbai raised his eyes and thought, of course, it can not be less, this world is not a source of peach blossoms, there are many big things and small feelings, and people have to use silver everywhere.

To say the least, there are a lot of generals in the imperial court today, and they have really been reduced. what will they rely on to accumulate military achievements in the future?

However, Xiao Yuanbai did not make these words very clear, but reached for the peach blossom cake in the plate.

Now it has long passed the season of peach blossoms, and there are no delicate and beautiful flowers on the branches of peach trees, only emerald green buds, but there are still a lot of peach blossom cakes, especially Qi's peach blossom cakes, especially for Xiao Yuanbai's appetite.

Qi Ming pushed the plate to him and said with a smile, "this cake was made by my sister-in-law. I left a lot of it and stored it in an ice book. Whenever I want to eat it, I can take it out and cook it. It's the freshest."

Another person who knows how to use ice as expensive as gold to save food is afraid to be surprised by such extravagance.

However, Xiao Yuanbai thought it was a good way to let his family learn when he went back.

Qi Ming also said, "since I'm going to meet Lord Ye outside the city tomorrow, I don't think I need to go to the Yamen this afternoon. Brother Xiao, I look at the weather. Why don't you and me take Brother Guo for a walk?"

Guo Chengji?

Xiao Yuanbai moves slightly. In fact, he and Guo Chengji grew up together, but they always disliked each other, not only because of their different doors, but also because he was quiet, but Guo Chengji was too lively and easy to break up in discord.

However, in the presence of Qi Ming, Guo Chengji was able to restrain himself, and Xiao Yuanbai did not bother to quarrel with him. The three Jinshi of the list often traveled together.

At this moment, after listening to Qi Ming's words, Xiao Yuanbai nodded faintly and said, "OK, I'll meet you at Qijia Restaurant tomorrow. I'll be the east."

Qi Ming was stupefied and didn't quite understand why the offer was made in the restaurant.

But he didn't look into it either, but smiled and nodded and answered.

As Qi Yun and his wife were still there, Xiao Yuanbai left after talking with Qi Ming on official business.

On the other hand, Qi Yun and Ye Jiao had dinner with Qi Ming and went to see what they needed to buy in the house, so that Liusi wrote it down before they went home.

Early the next morning, Ye Jiao took Xu Bao to Huaning.

Originally, Qi Yun was going to come with her, but because Prime Minister Meng took a hundred officials to meet Ye Pingrong outside the city, and many shops along the street were owned by the Qi family, many of the ten shops promised by Chu Cheng were among them, so Qi Yun went to the shop to check.

However, Qi Yun sent Ye Jiao to the gate of Huanning residence before leaving with peace of mind.

Ye Jiao took Xubao's small hand to walk in. although the older little Xubao likes to be hugged by his parents, it is also when he is sitting, and the little guy is willing to walk by himself.

Especially when she was with Ye Jiao, Xu Bao seldom let her hug, mostly on her own, without tiring her mother and relatives.

Now, as he stepped across the threshold, Xubao turned over and asked, "Mother, are you still here to see Ann and his brother this time?"

Ye Jiao stood up and held out his little hand to give him a relay. "it's not just to see Ann and his brother," Ye Jiao said. "your uncle came back today, and he also came to see his uncle."

As soon as Xu Bao stood firm, he immediately raised his eyes and looked at Ye Jiao: "is it your uncle on a big horse?"

Ye Jiao smiled and nodded.

In Xubao's heart, Ye Pingrong was kind to him, could fly, could coax him to play, and was a good uncle, but Ye Pingrong also said that he would let Ningbao learn martial arts, which Xu Bao kept in mind.

At this moment, he subconsciously frowned, looked around, and then remembered that Ningbao had not come, so he narrowed his eyes with a smile and walked inside with Ye Jiao's hand.

Little ginseng did not know what her son had been thinking about in this short period of time, but when she saw that he was happy, Ye Jiao bent the corner of her mouth and led him to the vestibule.

When she entered the door, Ye Jiao saw Shi sitting at the table and Huanning walking around.

Because Ye Pingrong won and returned to Korea this time, and it was the first big victory since Chu Cheng Yun ascended the throne, it was naturally a great celebration.

Even though Chu Chengyun did not go out of the city to meet him, it was already a high courtesy for Prime Minister Meng to lead a hundred officials to meet him. Ye Pingrong had to go to the palace to report the results of the battle, there were rewards and punishments, and he could not go home until he had had a victory banquet in the palace.

Huanning is a princess, naturally know these rules, but she is still very worried, restless pacing back and forth, even Ye Jiao and Xubao entered the door did not see.

Ye Jiao did not disturb her, but took Xu Bao to sit down next to Shi and asked in a low voice, "is something wrong?"

Shi shook his head and was puzzled: "Huanning was like this when I came. I asked and didn't say anything."

About their voices were heard by Huanning. She turned around and smiled at Ye Jiao, then frowned, came over and sat down and asked, "Niang Niang, can you see where Pingrong is now?"

As soon as Ye Jiao came from the street, she said with a smile, "I just saw that it was very lively outside. Although there were so many people, I couldn't really see it from a distance, but the first one riding a horse with flowers must be the eldest brother. It's time to enter the palace."

It is also interesting to say, it seems that as long as it is a cross-horse parade, he likes to tie a red one to the front of a person, and the horse's head should also wear flowers.

Ye Pingrong is a warrior, and now he is also in armour, and his silver armor is particularly heroic. As a result, it looks a little awkward after being put on red silk.

It's just that what people like to see is lively, and it can be regarded as having fun with the people with some bright colors, so they have to wear it even if they don't want to wear it.

This is nothing to Ye Jiao, but Huanning is not happy.

Shi Shi could not help but appease: "now General Ye's class is back in good health, and he should also answer the name you gave Anhe. This is a happy event, and it is good to be happy."

Huanning pursed her lips, but she didn't make it clear to the two people in front of her.

Cross the horse street is naturally a good thing, this is the honor given by the emperor, naturally different.

But Huanning knows that there are risks in crossing the Ma you Street.

Ye Pingrong was upright and upright, and had been with Chu Chengyun before. As a near minister, he had Chu Chengyun's support when he spoke and did things, so naturally he didn't have to worry.

But now that our prime minister has made military achievements and returned to Korea with victory, it is time for all kinds of glory, but the more glorious it is, the more cautious it is. Countless pairs of eyes stare at it, and missteps will damage the holy relatives.

Especially this time it is Ye Pingrong who is ill, and his subordinates have to rely on him to report their rewards and punishments to their own brother. Huanning will naturally worry in his heart.

The more you care about a person, the more you will think about him, but the more you think about it, the more afraid you will be. Huanning is like this now.

But these things Huanning is not good to explain to Shi and Ye Jiao, for fear of provoking them to accompany them to worry.

Just then, a servant girl outside said, "your Highness, the general sent someone to see your Highness."

Huanning immediately raised his head and said, "Let him in."

Then a man dressed as a bodyguard came in, saluted several people respectfully, and then said, "your Highness, the general asked me to take this back to your Highness." With that, the guard presented a brocade box.

To one side, Mammy walked quickly over, took the box, took it back and handed it to Huanning.

Huanning opened the box and saw a bracelet and a letter inside.

Ye Jiao took a look. She had seen a lot of good things, especially when Qi Yun's caravan did business near the border all the year round and brought back countless precious jade wares.

But even if Ye Jiao had seen so many good things, she also felt that the bracelet Ye Pingrong gave to Huanning was particularly rare.

This bracelet is emerald, green, natural and natural. You can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary goods.

Huanning looked at the guard and said, "Why did you give me this?"

"back to the temple, this is a reward that the general privately asked his Majesty for. As soon as he got it, he asked his subordinates to send it to the princess."

As soon as these words came out, there was a smile on Huanning's face.

The jade bracelet looks expensive, but it is not something that his elder brother cannot afford. Now Ye Pingrong only wants this, but he does not want as much housing and land as many generals. Huanning has a clear idea.

My husband has always been able to carry it clearly, even if he gets credit now, he has not floated.

If you have peace of mind, there will be more smiles on your face.

Huanning let the guard go down, directly took off the white jade bracelet on his play, replaced it with emerald, and said to Shi and Ye Jiao, "is it good?"

The two of them naturally saw that Huanning was showing off, but the eldest princess did not usually show off much. Now she was like a little squirrel who got fruit, smug and cute, so they nodded. Shi smiled and praised the bracelet several times.

It is said that the boast bracelet is actually Kuaye Pingrong's sincerity to Huanning, which really makes Huanning, who was still unhappy just now, smiling.

Then Huanning took out the letter in the box and looked at it. After reading it, she quietly looked at Shi Shi and put the letter back with the same look. "there is still some time before Pingrong comes back," she said with a smile. "what if we find something to do?"

Xu Bao, who had been clever all the time, immediately raised his head and said, "I want to see my brother, and I also want to see a parrot."

Huanning originally liked Xubao, but now he naturally agreed to let people hug him and come out.

And Shi said with a smile: "speaking of parrots, I also brought the scarlet-breasted parrot that Jiao Niang gave me today. It would be better to let the two parrots get together."

Huanning was also amused and nodded.

After a while, Mammy came over with Ann in her arms, and the parrot kept by Princess Huanning and Shi's parrot were placed side by side on the table, so amusing that Xubao could not turn his eyes away.

Both parrots are red-breasted parrots, but Huanning's one is slightly larger and Shi's is relatively smaller, but its voice does not go down at all. On the contrary, it is especially able to say that as soon as it meets Huanning's parrot, it opens its mouth and reads what Shi taught her.

Parrots just learn their tongues, and people will do what they are taught, and this red-breasted parrot is a smart breed, as if it can understand the meaning of the words, and its words are particularly funny.

But people tease the parrot to coax it to talk, and the parrot and the parrot are in the same place, as if they were quarrelling.

Shi Shi teaches poetry, or else it is the name of the fruit in the yard, so this parrot speaks in style, but the parrot in Huanning is different and learns everything, no matter what Huanning teaches or what people say, it all remembers that there is a kind of inexplicable interest in saying one sentence after another.

And the two parrots seem to be competing in the back, you say a word, I will not speak until you finish, but if I do, I can't stop!

Even Xiao an, who was playing with Xu Bao's hand, looked over and saw that his eyes were dark and particularly clever.

Ye Jiao did not expect that both birds could quarrel. She was surprised at first, and then only smiled.

With a funny thing, time passed a lot faster. When Ye Pingrong entered the door, what she heard was a crisp sentence: "pluck your hair and make soup for an and the little master!"

Ye Pingrong:.

The man was stupefied for a moment, and then came in the door, and at a glance he saw the two parrots standing on the cage with their heads held high.

When Ye Jiao heard the sound, she looked back. When she saw Ye Pingrong, she got up and smiled and said, "Brother, you are back."

Huanning was originally holding an and smiling, smelling the words, and then turned back.

When saw Ye Pingrong, Huanning, who was just laughing and Yan Yan, suddenly lost his voice and sat motionless, only staring at him closely and looking carefully, as if to make sure that the man was really free from injuries.

Ye Pingrong saw Huanning's mind, and with a tight heart, she hurried over and said, "Huanning, I'm back."

Huanning stood up, pinched his hand on him, patted him again, then felt at ease, then opened his mouth, and finally only said, "it's good that you're back."

Shi quietly retreated to one side, also dragged Ye Jiao, dragged her to sit next to him, and made room for Ye Pingrong.

Ye Pingrong and his wife did not see their little gestures. Although they looked at each other, they could not say anything.

Others thought that Ye Pingrong had won the glory and wanted to be promoted, which should be a great joy.

Only they know how much surprise, fear and joy they have during this period of departure, but they are more likely to rejoice.

Huanning is glad that his husband came back with all his arms and legs, which is really good.

Ye Pingrong did not know that Huanning was worried about the soundness of his limbs, and his eyes unconsciously moved to the little guy in Huanning's arms.

It was not Ye Pingrong who wanted to see it, but a little thing wrapped in swaddling clothes, but she didn't like being held in the same posture all the time. It was naturally awkward after a long time, but he didn't cry, only wriggling his body in the hope that his mother could hold him and coax him.

But this move, let Ye Pingrong see.

It was only then that Ye Dalang realized that this was his own son.

He's a father, too.

Huanning saw that his eyes were straight, so he laughed, handed the child in his hand to him and said, "this is Anhe, Ye Anhe. I'll give you a hug."

They came up with the name, and Ye Pingrong naturally knew it.

But Ye Pingrong had never held such a small doll. When he coaxed Xu Bao Ningbao before, the two boys were old enough to throw them for fun, but the child was so small and soft that he didn't seem to be as long as his forearms. Ye Pingrong really didn't know what to do.

In particular, this is his own son, born in person, this mood is naturally very different from the treatment of other people's children.

Hug it, wearing silver armour, the child's skin is soft like a bag of water, in case hit the heartache or their own.

But if you don't hug, Ye Pingrong can't stop her love, and she still stretches out her hand in the end.

However, the way he held the baby was different from that of others. General Ye stretched out his hands and held the little doll flat, letting Ann and lie in his hand, as if he were holding some big treasure, with his arms straight and solemn, looking particularly serious.

But this way of holding the baby really surprised several people. Shi could not help but cover her lips and smile. Ye Jiao also bent the corner of her mouth. Huanning glanced across him and said nothing, but the smile on her face could not be stopped.

Ye Pingrong knew it was wrong to hold the baby like this, so she only held it and looked at it carefully and gave it back to Huanning.

Xiao an and obviously did not know Ye Pingrong, others said that father and son knew something as soon as they saw each other, but the reality was that Xiao an and was scared, and as soon as he returned to Huanning's arms, he drilled his face into Huanning's arms.

Huanning hugged and coaxed, Ye Pingrong also gathered around to follow the coax, as a result, Huanning kicked him in the leg. Ye Pingrong stood far away with a smile, but his eyes were still fixed on the child.

Seeing him like this, Huanning said, "if you spend more time with him later, you will recognize you."

Ye Pingrong immediately gave a "ah", smiling as before.

Huanning then went on to say, "Pingrong, I …"

Before Huanning finished, the parrot held its head high.

Because it is for Huanning to amuse, ordinary Huanning often talks to it. The parrot has a smart head and it can catch it at the beginning.

Now the parrot said neatly: "Pingrong, I miss you, I miss you!"

Huanning:.

As soon as these words came out, Ye Pingrong was at a loss at first, then suddenly, and finally only smiled, with a bit of foolishness.

I want to know that it must be Huanning who talks too much, so that the parrot can write it down.

Huanning was so red that he dared not look at Ye Jiao and Shi, who laughed together over there, but stared at the parrot.

Ordinary Huanning smiled especially bright and gorgeous, but after all, she was angry after the door, and this look stopped the parrot in the past.

Huanning parrot has just threatened to pluck the same kind of hair around the small master stew soup to drink, now Huanning horizontal glance, it has a sense of crisis that it is going to be plucked.

So the parrot hid its head under its wings and pretended to be dead.

Shi took the opportunity to carefully mention his parrot cage, Ye Jiao also very winkled a hug Xubao, two people quietly with people to leave, leaving time for this couple.

After they left, Ye Pingrong asked Anhe to have a look, but she didn't have the smile she had just now. seeing Ann and yawning, she handed him to Mammy, then reached out and hugged Huanning and asked softly, "did you tell them about Liu Rong?"

Huanning shook his head and remembered the words in Ye Pingrong's letter in the box. He frowned slightly and said, "are you sure you can't find it?"

Ye Pingrong was silent for a moment and then nodded, "I just got the news. I only said that Liu Rongna wanted to make a surprise attack, but he never came back. I think there will be a war report in the next few days." His voice paused. "it doesn't matter what you say to Mrs. Shi, you can hide it for a while."

Huanning pursed the corners of his mouth and asked softly, "can he come back?"

Ye Pingrong was silent again, and only after a while did she reply, "I was on the brink of death."

The author has something to say: Blackie: we feel sorry for each other, and there is always someone who wants to stew me.

Parrot: I am colored, you are black, don't put it together, little sunspot

Blackie:. Hurry up and find someone to stew it!
