After sending Chengxuan away, Yang Shan returned to the palace, finally relieved of her fatigue.

The personal maid finally couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly knelt down to hold Yang Shan's shoulders, saying, "Your Highness, the fourth prince's ambition is really getting bigger and bigger. I am afraid..."

The palace maid has been serving Yang Shan since she was a child. Looking at her master like this, how can she not feel distressed.

"Are you afraid that I won't be able to put an end to the situation in the end?" Yang Shan said calmly, but without any intention of blaming her.

The palace maid nodded, and she accompanied her master in a foreign country. Seeing her master living in fear these days, she naturally felt uncomfortable.

"If I really don't do something, it really won't end." Yang Shan held the tea cup and thought about everything Chengxuan had done. If this continues, what wrong thing did Chengxuan do? The possibility of being buried here with him, and the possibility of traveling to the entire Goryeo, was simply not worth it.

Now that she also knew Chengjue and the others' plan, no matter what Chengxuan did this time, she had to drag him down.

It's almost over, it's almost over. When it's all over, I'll go home.

I miss the royal brother and the queen so much. I hope to meet the royal brother and the queen as soon as possible.

Shangguan Xiaolin spread the news that he would definitely be able to return to the capital in ten days.

When Emperor Yinde received the news, Yang Shan had not yet given the sachet to Chengxuan, so she had been asking Queen Su Qingyao and Princess Ningle Yi'an to arrange a reception banquet for the soldiers.

As an emperor, nothing makes him happier than opening up new territories.

This reception banquet was also very grand. After all, it must be a happy event for the entire Wanjin.

Queen Su Qingyao personally organized the banquet, and the concubines, emperor's heirs and ministers all came to the banquet. In addition, Emperor Yinde also sent Prince Chengjue, Seventh Prince Chengrui and Princess Ningle Yi'an out of the city to meet the soldiers. It can be seen that It is to give face to the soldiers.

Mainly because Yi'an and Chengrui really couldn't wait and went to greet them at the city gate coquettishly. Emperor Yinde naturally pampered them and asked Chengjue to take them there.

In the Jinse Hall, the emperor and empress had already taken their seats, but there was still no news of the return of the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, why don't you have a cup of tea and wait for a while? General Shangguan and the others may be here soon." Su Qingyao said, and personally brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Emperor Yin De.

Emperor Yinde nodded slightly and looked outside. The sun was about to set and the banquet was still a while away. "There's no rush."

Emperor Yinde was waiting, and the ministers certainly did not dare to say anything. They could only sit quietly in their seats and sip tea.

"Where have these children gone?" Concubine De glanced at the empty seats in the palace.

"I went out of the city to pick up General Shangguan and the others. Doesn't Sister De Fei know how many of them there are? Knowing that General Shangguan and Shi Xiu were coming back, I thought about going out of the city to greet them all day long," Concubine Shu said.

The emperor and empress on the high platform also smiled when she thought of the three children.

"They are all Xiao Lin's disciples, so they should go out to meet their master." Emperor Yin De said. His children were also very sensible and knew how to go out of the city to meet him.

Now that Chengjue was the prince, he went out on his behalf, which gave the soldiers a lot of face.

"That's what His Majesty taught you." Su Qingyao agreed.

Emperor Yinde became even happier when Su Qingyao spoke to him. Seeing His Majesty's face filled with joy, the ministers were no longer so nervous and began to whisper in groups of twos and threes. Emperor Yinde saw this and did not blame him too much.

On the high platform, Emperor Yin De even peeled grapes for Queen Su Qingyao with his own hands, "Thank you and An An for this banquet."

"Compared to the soldiers who opened up the territory for His Majesty, being a concubine is really not hard work."

Emperor Yinde fed the grapes to Queen Su Qingyao with his own hands. Many people saw this scene and had to sigh that no matter how many newlyweds entered the palace now, they could not compare to the friendship between the Queen and His Majesty.

"It's been hot lately, so don't be too greedy for coolness." Emperor Yin De said while wiping his hands with a bright yellow handkerchief.

Su Qingyao agreed seriously, and Li Fuhai came over with an embarrassed look on his face, "Your Majesty, Queen, the time for the banquet is coming, but the soldiers haven't come back yet."

Emperor Yin De and Su Qingyao then raised their heads and saw that the palace lanterns outside had been lit and the sky was already dark.

Only then did he realize that everyone had been sitting in the hall for half an hour.

"Wait a little longer." Although Emperor Yinde is king, the soldiers have not returned yet, and it is not good to have a banquet now.

With a bang, Queen Su Qingyao accidentally broke the tea cup and spilled tea all over her body.

Perhaps the movement was too loud and attracted everyone's attention. Ziqiu quickly knelt down and helped Su Qingyao wipe the phoenix robe. Emperor Yinde also stood up and asked, "Yao'er, are you perming it?"

Su Qingyao shook her head, "I have nothing to do, I just go to the side hall to change my clothes."

Emperor Yin De was relieved and waved to Yun Shu who was sitting below, "Shu'er will accompany your mother to change clothes."

Yun Shu stepped forward to support Su Qingyao, still caring, "Mother, are you okay?"

Su Qingyao patted Yun Shu's hand, "Don't worry, my mother is fine."

After watching Yun Shu accompany Su Qingyao to the side hall, Emperor Yinde sat back on his chair. He felt vaguely uneasy when he saw that the palace officials were still collecting the pieces of the tea cup.

"Li Fuhai, send someone outside the city to see what's going on."

Outside the city, Chengjue, Chengrui and Yi'an had been waiting for more than two hours, but still no sign of the soldiers.

"Didn't you write a letter saying that you will definitely come back today?" Yi'an seemed a little anxious, his brows furrowed.

It's almost night, why haven't you come back yet?

"Today is not over yet, just wait." Chengjue was calm and exchanged a look with Yi'an, and the fun started immediately.

"Let's go to the front to meet them." Cheng Rui said, and seemed to be about to leave on horseback. Cheng Jue quickly stopped him, "We can only stay here. Are you obedient to your brother and sister An'an as you promised?"

Chengrui pouted, knowing that this was no small matter, but he couldn't help him messing around, so he had to give up and kept mumbling, "When will Master and Brother Shixu come back?"

The more Chengrui talked, the more panicked Yi'an and Chengjue became.

"Timing." Yi'an murmured, and then he had to gallop his horse and whip to find the timing.

"Sister An'an." Chengjue stopped Yi'an, "Father ordered me to wait here. Don't make it difficult for me, okay?"

Yi'an pursed her lips and gave up the idea of ​​looking for the timing, but she felt quite disappointed.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Cheng Jue looked back after hearing this and saw Wang Shangshu from the Ministry of War coming with Cheng Xuan and Cheng Yuan.

Wang Shangshu was a little uneasy when he saw that the army had not returned. He had been on the battlefield with Shangguan Xiaolin as a military advisor. How could he not be worried when he saw this situation?
