Chapter 76 The Crested Hairpin 27
But now... Liang Yuqiang's eyes were slightly cold, only to hear someone knock on the door, and Liang Yujin's cheerful voice came from outside: "Second brother! Is second brother there?"

Liang Yuqiang put away the letter and ran to open the door.

Liang Yujin walked in. She is now sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is very slim. Today, she wore a light purple dress, matched with gold and jade hairpins and walking steps. She faded away from immaturity, and finally looked a little more royal. Luxury.

"Second brother, do you want to accompany Jin'er to catch butterflies?" Liang Yujin said with a smile, "To the imperial garden?"

"Okay, okay!" He clapped his hands happily.

Liang Yujin's smile lost a bit: "Second brother, how many times have I told you, don't clap your hands, and always remember that you are a reserved prince, not a three-year-old child."

"Oh...okay." He replied obediently.

"Let's go!" Liang Yujin took his hand, but he didn't know that as soon as he went out, he met Lingyao who had just finished breakfast.

Lingyao glanced at her and asked, "Where is Yujin taking the second prince?"

"Second brother said to take me to catch butterflies, what's the matter?" Liang Yujin said in front of him.

"Where are you going?" Lingyao asked, "Let me guess, are you going to... the Royal Garden?"

"That's right! Yaoyao is so smart!" Liang Yuqiang clapped his hands and applauded, and suddenly remembered that Liang Yujin didn't let him clap his hands, making him low and restrained, so he put away his hands again and carried them behind his back silently.

"Today, the emperor is going to meet the top three newcomers of this year's imperial examination in the Imperial Garden. This is a state affair. Why is Yujin going to join in the fun?" Lingyao asked.

"How did I know that my father would be here? Sister Yunyao is probably worrying too much."

"The second prince has something to do, so he won't play with Yujin anymore. It's just that Yujin may not know that the Queen Mother has fallen in love with the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion of Yongle. Maybe it won't be long before the imperial edict will be sent to Concubine Lin Gui (formerly Lin Jieyu) ) went to the palace."

"Yongle...Earl's Mansion?!" Liang Yujin exclaimed in surprise, "They are just an Earl's Mansion, how is that possible?!"

"It's just the gossip I heard, but Yujin still needs to pay more attention to her own affairs. The second prince has something to do, so how can he play with you every day?"

"Understood." Liang Yujin didn't have the mood to plan her own little scheme, if she really married into the Earl's Mansion, then everything would be over!The mother and concubine's suicide, her own grievances, and everything planned have all been in vain!
After finishing speaking, she didn't care about Ling Yao and Liang Yuqiang, and hurried back in a hurry.

After she left, Lingyao stepped forward and said, "You! Don't always be a target,"

Liang Yuqiang looked at him innocently, looking at his ignorant eyes, Lingyao didn't say much, but said: "Yujin treats you well, but it's also because you are valuable."

She said: "I have worked hard in the military camp. Instead of chasing butterflies, I might as well rest more."

After Lingyao finished speaking, she returned to her bedroom, Liang Yuqiang lowered her head, as if acquiescing to her words.

Three days later, Wei Jian returned to the city gloriously with the border army, and the emperor led the harem concubines and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to greet him at the gate of the capital.

Wei Jian rode at the forefront on a tall maroon horse. When he left the capital ten years ago, he was still a young man in his prime, but now he could clearly see the white hair dotted around his temples, but he still had a majestic face. It's not deliberately pretending to be hypocritical, but the vicissitudes of the years that have gone through ten years of hardships at the border and the blood of countless enemies on the battlefield.

The lieutenant general riding a white horse behind him on the right, if you don't look carefully, Lingyao can't recognize it.That is Liang Yuzheng, without childishness, full of mature and stable Liang Yuzheng, he is no longer that frizzy boy who explodes because of something too big, ten years of wind, frost and blood rain have completely turned him into a capable person. Stand alone hero.

Wei Jian's gaze was firm, and he got off his horse and saluted when he was in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, Wei Jian, see the Emperor!"

The emperor quickly helped him up: "Wei Aiqing, please get up!"

Wei Jian's gaze met Lingyao's gaze inadvertently, and both of them were taken aback for a moment. After ten years, that little girl who was not as tall as his legs back then has grown so beautiful now, as if she had descended to earth by accident. A fairy who doesn't know fireworks in the world.

After ten years, Wei Jian could tell at a glance that it was his biological daughter.In the past few years on the battlefield, he missed death several times, and endured the pain of gouging out flesh and cutting bones several times, but at this moment—the moment when he saw his daughter, this tough man was silent. shed tears.

The emperor naturally noticed it, and smoothed things over by saying: "Wei Aiqing, I have prepared a banquet for you to cleanse the wind and cleanse the dust, advance to the palace, enter the palace!"

Wei Jian calmed down his emotions, cupped his fists and saluted, "Yes."

At the banquet, there were singing and dancing, and drinking and drinking, but Wei Jian didn't care to watch.He kept looking at Lingyao who was sitting across from him, feeling a burst of sadness and then a burst of joy in his heart, this child was born so well, even more beautiful than her mother, when he looked carefully, his eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as her mother's.

I also don't know how she... lived in the palace full of flowers and thorns in the dark.

Occasionally, Wei Jian caught a glimpse of the young man in black clothes sitting beside her, and his eyes narrowed. For some reason, he found it difficult for the young man who could only eat with chopsticks.

The emperor made a toast with him, Wei Jian had no choice but to look away and concentrate on socializing. At this moment, the teacher had just returned to the court, so he could not let the emperor have any misunderstandings.

Finally, the emperor said: "General Wei Jian has been at the border for ten years! During these ten years, he fought bloody battles to repel the enemy in Daliang, expand our territory, and stabilize the border. He has made great contributions! I have nothing to repay, so I give Wei Jian the special title. As a first-class hussar general, I will be awarded the title of Marquis of Anbei, hereditary, and I will also be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, and ten thousand households of land!"

Wei Jian quickly knelt down and said, "My lord, I thank you Lord for your kindness."

The emperor said: "Wei Jian, for the meritorious service you have done for me and Daliang, these rewards are far from enough, but this is all I can give. Now that you have finally returned, you may not have seen Yunyao for a long time. You father and daughter , let’s reminisce about the old days.”

"I am grateful to the emperor for taking care of my daughter." Wei Jian said, and made another big gift.

"Let Yunyao go back to the General's Mansion with you tonight. As for Yunyao's things, whether they are placed in Songhe Palace or sent back tomorrow, it's up to her. If you want to come to the palace at any time, you can come as soon as you want." Can!"

Lingyao was named, so naturally she had to stand up and thank her.

After Wei Jian's father and daughter died, the emperor rewarded several generals, including the third prince Liang Yuzheng.

Liang Yuqiang quietly ate the food in front of him, concentrating on playing the role of a worthless fool who didn't know etiquette. The emperor's words rang in his ears, it was about Liang Yuzheng's reward: "The third prince Liang Yuzheng, encourage the soldiers, don't be afraid Life and death, I have made many meritorious service in the past ten years, I am really gratified. Er, I will hand over the Divine Arrow Pavilion in the palace to you, and make you a third-rank captain, with thousands of lands and one mansion, you must not let me down."
