Chapter 157 Celebration Banquet (1)
"Bai Jue... Bai Er Master Bai treats the general... like some fairy-god brothers in the script. The love of life and death is touching, but I feel even more..."
Xuan Ming couldn't describe what his heart felt, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
She has never seen anyone who can do this for the general. It is unquestionable to sincerely entrust it to the general.
That night, she accompanied Gu Wanqing for a long time.
It was not until the sky was bright that Gu Wanqing packed up the Yanhua Sutra one by one and carefully put it back into the box.
When I looked up again, my eyes were as bright as glass, clear and clear.
"Xuan Ming."
"I am here."
"Call all the soldiers, it's time for us to take up our weapons and work."
...
It is already late autumn and the weather is getting cooler.
The irritability and sultry heat of the summer before turned into a cool and comfortable feeling.
Autumn is sleepy and people are lazy and lazy, so in the year of Nanyan, autumn is the time when nothing major happens, and everyone will enjoy the rare comfort of spending the hot summer.
But one day, overnight, the people of Yan'an City all knew something-
General Wanqing actually won the battle!!
"How is that possible? Is the information wrong?"
"No, the team will set off tomorrow. Someone will come back to report the good news first. No one will joke about such a thing. This is a death sentence!"
"But some time ago, did you still hear that General Wan Qing was infected with some poison, why did he win suddenly? We thought she was making a fool of herself this time!"
"I don't know what's going on. Anyway, it's different from the previous situation. This time I really won the battle and fought very beautifully. Not only did I arrest the rebels of Mo Guo who were in chaos on the border, but I also found the strongholds of the rebels and also slashed the strongholds!"
"Is that amazing? It's not that the emperor can't do anything to those people, so he just said that he was driving away and not chasing him."
"Yes! General Wan Qing did not have the advantage in terms of the number of people this time, but he was unexpected! In the future, the people in the border will no longer have to be troubled by those people, and will not be frightened. It is peaceful in the south!"
The next morning, the streets and alleys of Yan'an City were all discussing this matter.
The emperor issued an order to hold a celebration banquet for General Wanqing in the palace.
The people could feel that the emperor wanted to cry - he had protected General Zhenbei for so many years and finally made a fortune.
Not just that, General Wan Qing's victory this time was a blessing that Nan Yan had shown at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony a few days ago, and finally filled in some of it.
After all, King Yunfan is still here.
The rebel party of Mo is known to everyone in the world. This time, he solved this matter in front of Yun Fanguo, but he won a lot of face for the emperor.
...
Gu Wanqing returned to the court and returned triumphantly, with unlimited scenery.
But she and Xuan Ming were so tired that they were almost asleep while lying on the horse's back.
But when he returned to Yan'an City, there were people who were welcomed by the people in the middle of the city, which shocked Gu Wanqing.
She went to war so many times, and every time she came back, she was either criticized by the emperor or greeted the gossip of the people.
But she was riding on the horse and facing the scene of a crowd of enthusiastic cheers below and shouting Gu Wanqing's title. This was the first time she saw her, and it was also a scene where there was never a country in her dream.
Xuan Ming was stunned, with his legs clamped on the horse's belly, and he became a little nervous, and asked, "General, am I dreaming, aren't I? Or are there other generals behind us?"
"Since lately, there has been no war except the two generals guarding the border. It should be me..."
Gu Wanqing was also a little guilty.
The person next to him smiled and said, "General, of course this is a welcome. Our vanguard has returned to the palace to report first. The emperor is very happy. The desperation of the rebel party in Mo this time is really a great achievement. The people are all calling for joy. The general is a god!"
"oh……"
Gu Wanqing looked at the scene incredibly.
She had never expected to be loved by others before, and naturally she was not someone who cared about the credit, but she just wanted to have a clear conscience. It was not her Virgin mentality, but she was reborn once, so many things were inevitably taken lightly.
But today, she held her head up and accepted everyone's respect.
For the first time she felt that this was also good. It was the honor of Gu Wanqing, the daughter of General Zhenbei.
But in addition to this, there is another important reason why she can win this victory.
Gu Wanqing looked in the direction of the Marquis' Mansion, and there was no Bai Jue's figure in that direction.
She was a little disappointed.
Today is the sun is warm and autumn is comfortable.
A painter recorded this scene. In the ink painting, the people cheered loudly for the female general of Nanyan who returned from winning the first battle. She was wearing red clothes, with beautiful hair, and heroic appearance.
It is really a unique person in the world.
...
Gu Wanqing had just returned to the house and was about to take a shower and change her clothes before entering the palace. Her body was almost smelly.
Here an eunuch came to pass the message, "General Wanqing, the emperor asked you to take a bath and put it in the palace."
“Why?”
If you report military information, even if you don’t wear armor, you should wear official uniforms before you can show your formality.
"The emperor held a celebration banquet for the general. Tonight is an important banquet. All civil and military officials and their families will come. The king of Yunfan, the queen and the prince are also there. The emperor knew that the general did not like silk and satin, so he asked the slave to send a purple jade belt. He would not lose Nan Yan's face even if he matched the general."
"Thank you the emperor for the reward."
Gu Wanqing took over the reward from the brocade plate with both hands.
Only then did I realize that Nan Yan's palace banquet has always been grand but he did not like to be restrained, so the officials and relatives would not wear official uniforms, otherwise they would appear unfamiliar.
But the emperor may be afraid that Gu Wanqing would not have a proper taste, and if she attended the celebration banquet as the protagonist as usual, she would probably lose her dignity in front of King Yunfan.
This made the eunuch send her a precious purple jade belt, which was low-key and luxurious, just in line with her.
"Will the Bai family go there too?" Gu Wanqing asked.
The eunuch said excitedly: "That's natural! In addition to the little marquis, even the second marquis of Bai, who does not show up often, has come. The Bai family has entered the palace early in the morning and is already in the palace."
In Gu Wanqing's heart, it turned out that Bai Jue was in the palace today. "Oh, I understand."
...
After nightfall, the Yunhua Platform in the palace was very lively.
The clear spring flows, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras is rustling, and thousands of candles are shining.
Nan Yan’s dinner is the most important thing to pay attention to rituals, so there must be sacrifices at every banquet. After a small sacrificial ceremony, everyone can attend the banquet.
In the throne, the closest people to the emperor are all relatives. Now there is no queen, and Concubine Zhang is by her side, which also gives her infinite glory.
Chapter completed!
