At the beginning of summer, Yu Yalan finally finished handling the affairs of Xijing.

Just as he was about to pack his bags and return to Yanzhou, Lei Bin sent a letter from Song Xi.

Yu Yalan was very happy to learn that Yu Lin had won a great victory and Song Xi would return. She hurriedly arranged the remaining chores that night and advanced the return date by two days.

This was Song Xi's first battle against a foreign enemy and her first victory on the battlefield. She had to quickly return to Yanzhou to arrange a dinner to welcome Feng and celebrate him lively.

Early the next morning, Yu Yalan ordered Jiang Can to temporarily act as chief envoy, and then took the excited Xu Yongnian with him and hurried back to Liuhe Villa.

As soon as she returned home and before she had time to breathe, she immediately started busy with the celebration banquet, moved a large amount of fresh ingredients from the space, and ordered Biyun to lead all the cooks to start preparing a gourmet meal.

Yujia Rice Shop in Yanzhou Prefecture also posted a donation announcement, saying that in order to celebrate the important results of Yu Lin's victory, it decided to distribute free grain steamed buns within three days.

Each person can receive three steamed buns every day. There is no waiting time and no repeated collection. Refugees outside the city also have the same preferential treatment. Everyone can share the joy of victory.

The people in Yanzhou Prefecture were excited and praised Liuhe Villa for its generosity. Even the guards Yu Lin, whom they had never met before, received praise and gratitude from the common people.

If it hadn't been for their bloody battles and hardships to defend Yulin Border Pass, the people would not have such a stable life now, let alone eat free steamed buns.

After suffering successive droughts and locust plagues, the news of victory in the battle is indeed very exciting. The sweet potato seedlings in the fields are growing strongly in the thin rain, and everything is developing in a good direction.

Two days later, Song Xi returned triumphantly with 20,000 private soldiers.

The private soldiers sneaked back to the Liuhe Mountain station in batches, while Song Xi returned to the villa with a knife group of secret guards.

A man dressed in military uniform, dusty from all his travels, saw his long-awaited sweetheart as soon as he walked to the door of his house.

Song Xi raised a bright smile and embraced her lover, who was walking towards him quickly.

The long-lost softness warms the lonely heart, and the faint fragrance lingers in the breath.

Song Xi suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment and changed the hugging posture to holding hands.

"I'm afraid that my clothes will be dirty because of the wind and sand all over my body. I'll have to wash myself up before I can talk to you in detail."

Yu Yalan nodded with a smile, her gentle voice filled with joy and sweetness.

"The bathing water has been prepared for you. After washing up, you can start having dinner."

The reunited lovers walked back to the house together, and the others began to go about their own business.

Yu Hongxuan saw a few unfamiliar faces among the secret guards, so he was responsible for guiding and introducing new friends.

Just after the You hour, Liuhe Villa was brightly lit.

The banquet was full of chatter and laughter, and everyone relaxed their tired body and mind while changing glasses.

The gluttonous feast satisfied their hungry stomachs, and the fine grape wine filled their faces with joy. Qin Xi's situation was now completely stable, and they would all start a new life.

Song Xi didn't drink too much, he focused on the woman beside him.

Maybe he has never been separated for such a long time. Maybe the long time of missing her has aggravated his inner longing. He always feels that Lan'er tonight is more beautiful than the bright moon. It is so beautiful that he can't understand other complications.

Glancing at the banquet with deep black eyes, he estimated that everyone would be drinking and having fun all night long. Song Xi didn't want to accompany him to the end, so he quickly filled his stomach and then took Yu Yalan back to the room quietly.

The two walked hand in hand along the corridor, passed the pavilion and waterside pavilion, and stopped to drink tea and eat. Without the noisy other people disturbing the atmosphere, the lovers could finally enjoy their time alone.

Under the ginkgo tree in Moyun Garden, Song Xi and Yu Yalan sat next to each other in front of the stone table.

The man always holds the catkin in his hand firmly, and his deep starry eyes carefully trace the features of his sweetheart. His pampering and love are like a continuous tide, surrounding the woman without any restraint.

Her beautiful thin lips would tap her forehead and cheeks from time to time, making her delicate hibiscus face appear all over.

The cool moonlight reflected the surrounding lights, and the hazy night was also tinged with a bit of intoxicating drunkenness.

Everything after that fell into place.

Two tall figures slowly overlapped, and their warm breath ignited the emotion of lovesickness.

Song Xi hugged her in his arms, and then walked eagerly into the bedroom.

The long curtains obscured the scenery inside the house, and only low humming and murmurs overflowed outside the hibiscus tent.

"Lan'er, I miss you so much... Do you miss me these days?"

"I haven't seen you for a day, and I miss you so much that I miss you so much at night. All my dreams are filled with your shadow..."

The night gradually deepened, and everyone who was drunk together fell asleep with sweet dreams on their pillows.

In the dormitory of Moyun Garden, the sweet rhythm stayed awake all night long.

…

The next morning, the family gathered together in the main courtyard as usual to enjoy a warm breakfast.

Yu Yalan was so sleepy that she yawned continuously, and the green shadow under her eyes was a bit eye-catching.

Song Xi took care of her diligently, pouring tea and water, and putting food to her mouth. There was still a hint of apology on her refreshed and handsome face, and her bright black eyes never left her gaze.

The woman next to me.

Oops! I didn’t see it!

Yu Hongxuan complained secretly in his heart. He originally planned to discuss family and country affairs with his brother-in-law, but now the atmosphere did not allow him to speak.

I don’t know how much the two of them went through last night, but it was so sticky that it was hard to stay for long.

Yu Hongxuan hurriedly swallowed the food into his stomach, and with a speechless face, he ran straight to the hospital.

Perhaps eating too quickly had hurt his spleen and stomach, and he started burping non-stop before he could even take two steps.

"It hurts your stomach! There is really no way out for a single dog! Even if you eat breakfast, you still choke on dog food every day. How can you survive this day?"

Yu Hongxuan muttered to himself as he turned around and wandered to the edge of the villa's pasture. Every time he had indigestion, he would come here for a walk. He would feel comforted by looking at a bunch of single people in the pasture who had the same disease as him.

Across the main courtyard, the lovers only had each other in their eyes, and the departure of the bachelor did not affect their dining mood.

After breakfast, the two went to the study together, taking care of the affairs at hand while chatting intimately and amusingly.

Song Xi was a little annoyed that she had worked too hard last night, and urged Yu Yalan to rest on the beauty's bed.

"If you have any urgent matters, leave them to me. You can take a nap first to replenish your energy."

Yu Yalan shook her head and took the time to hand over Qin Xi's government affairs as soon as possible. When all the documents and seals were sorted out, she breathed a sigh of relief.
