The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 230 The reception banquet

Looking at the capital city coming into view, Tang Peipei felt extremely happy.

The city walls of the capital were hung with red lanterns and colorful satins, creating a festive scene.

The emperor led all the civil and military officials to the city gate to welcome the triumphant army, while the people in the city held colorful flags and lined the streets to welcome them.

Such a spectacular scene amazed Tang Peipei, because it was the first time in her life that she witnessed such a grand sight.

How to describe this feeling?

Although she knew very well that she had not made any great contribution, she felt deeply touched at this moment when she was in this team.

She had tears in her eyes and was deeply moved.

Looking at the enthusiastic people on both sides of the road who came to welcome them, she truly realized that even though she had experienced countless hardships, it was all worth it.

When they reached the city gate, Mu Jintang dismounted from his horse.

Qin Sheng also got off the carriage.

The two of them came to the emperor hand in hand, knelt down and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. We have fulfilled our mission and returned victorious!"

Bai Heyi laughed and helped the two of them up, "You two have worked hard! We will host a banquet in the palace tonight to welcome the two ministers."

They both bowed at the same time, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Bai Heyi ordered Mu Jintang and Qin Sheng to follow him and enter the palace with him, and the ministers followed closely behind.

Two hundred thousand soldiers camped fifty miles away, waiting for rewards.

Tang Peipei and the others had almost all left, so they hurried back to the general's mansion.

She hadn't had a good bath for more than a month. She finally came back today and had to take a good bath.

When she returned home, Princess Qinghe and her little girl were waiting eagerly at the gate of the general's mansion.

Seeing Tang Peipei's carriage, he hurried to meet it.

"Hello, mother!" Tang Peipei got off the carriage and saw Princess Qinghe standing in front of the carriage, looking at her with a worried look on her face.

Princess Qinghe stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and said, "You girl, you knew to inform me last time, but this time you just left a letter and ran away. How can you be so bold?" As she said this, she rubbed Tang Peipei's forehead hard with her hand in anger.

Tang Peipei knew she was in the wrong, so she quickly said, "Mother, it's my fault. I admit my mistake and I'm sorry for making you worry."

Seeing her looking at her pitifully, Princess Qinghe suddenly felt a headache.

Seeing that the mother didn't hold on to the matter anymore, she looked at her son.

After not seeing him for a few months, the little girl has grown taller, but seems to have become thinner, as if she has become taller.

Tang Peipei picked up her son.

He frowned the moment he picked her up.

He looks skinny, but I didn't expect he's quite heavy.

Then he obediently put his son on the ground, took his son's hand, and followed Princess Qinghe back to the mansion.

Tang Peipei was really tired, so she said hello to Princess Qinghe and returned to her own yard.

I took a comfortable bath.

As soon as I came out of the bathroom, Shisu brought me some food.

"The princess said that she will go to the palace to attend a welcoming banquet in the evening, so she asked you to eat something first."

Tang Peipei nodded, "Mother is thoughtful, it's better to be at home."

She was indeed a little hungry.

The palace banquet in the evening was held in Yuquan Palace, which was the largest and most extensive palace in the palace and was specially used to host grand banquets.

Generally, only reception of envoys and the emperor's birthday banquet were held here.

Tang Peipei came with Princess Qinghe.

It is worthy of being the largest banquet palace, more than twice as large as the previous Jade Banquet Palace.

The ground is paved with jade, and the red walls and glazed tiles are simply dazzling and sparkling.

Tang Peipei was not very familiar with these ladies. She only knew one or two of them and they had no relationship.

So, since entering the palace, he has been following Princess Qinghe and not running around.

The palace is the place where incidents are most likely to occur, and not running around is the rule for saving your life.

The palace banquet began, the emperor and the empress took their seats, and the banquet officially began.

The sounds of stringed instruments and the melodious voices.

The ministers clinked glasses and the ladies smiled happily.

"Lord Qin." The emperor's voice came, and everyone fell silent instantly.

Qin Sheng quickly stood up from his seat, walked to the center of the hall, knelt down and said, "I am here."

"Through this peace talk, Lord Qin bought fifteen years for our Southern Dynasty to recuperate, and also obtained five hundred good horses from the people of Chen. This is truly a great achievement." Bai Heyi's tone was filled with joy.

Those five hundred horses were a pleasant surprise.

Qin Sheng said: "This is all within my responsibility."

Bai Heyi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Sir Qin, you will be promoted to Imperial Censor from today on. I hope you can continue to work diligently for our Southern Dynasty in the future."

The surprise came so quickly that Qin Sheng was overjoyed. He quickly accepted the decree and thanked the emperor, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will serve the Southern Dynasty and Your Majesty until my death."

Bai Heyi smiled and said, "It's alright until death, but I hope that Sir Qin can remember the duty of the Imperial Censor and protect the court for me."

Qin Sheng said with a serious and firm look: "Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured."

Qin Sheng stepped back, and the ministers around him bowed and congratulated him.

"General Weide." Bai Heyi's voice came again.

Mu Jintang walked to the hall, opened his robe, knelt down and bowed, saying, "I am here."

Bai Heyi looked at Mu Jintang, who was wearing armor and standing tall even when kneeling.

He smiled and said, "This time, thanks to General Wei De's tireless efforts, he arrived before the Chen people broke into the city. He killed the local generals and captured 100,000 enemy soldiers. This bought 15 years for the Southern Dynasty. He also used these 100,000 soldiers to exchange for three cities of the Chen State. It is really gratifying! Great!"

Mu Jintang said: "These are what I should do."

Bai Heyi stood up, walked to Mu Jintang, and helped him up personally.

If Tang Peipei had not taken out such a large sum of money to go to the south to purchase food and fodder this time, given the current situation of his treasury, he would have had no choice but to admit defeat.

This time, the couple really made a great contribution.

"You two, one helped me solve the food problem, and the other helped me capture three cities and expand the territory of the Southern Dynasty. You are both ministers of great merit." After saying this, he turned around and returned to the dragon throne.

Looking at Tang Peipei, he said, "Mrs. Mu."

Tang Peipei hurried forward, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your Highness is here."

Bai Heyi nodded to the father-in-law behind him.

The eunuch took out a bright yellow imperial edict and said loudly: "General Mu Jintang and his wife Tang Peipei receive the edict!"

All the ministers knelt on the ground.

"It's up to heaven, the emperor decreed.

I believe that the country has been in trouble, thanks to loyal and good ministers, and the peace of the country is the result of the generals. Now we have the powerful and virtuous General Mu Jintang, who is both wise and brave, and loyal. Since he took command of the army, he has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements and has shocked the world. This time, he has defeated the enemy, enhanced our country's prestige, and protected our territory. His merits are outstanding, and it is not enough to reward him.

I have specially appointed Mu Jintang as the prince of the opposite sex and bestowed the title of "Zhongwu" to show my love and reward. I hope you will continue to be loyal, perform your duties for the country, and seek the welfare of the people.

In addition, his wife was very righteous and generous, donating food and fodder to help the war. Her behavior is commendable and her character is noble.

She was specially conferred the title of First-Rank Lady to show the court's recognition and respect for her contributions.

Admire this! "

Tang Peipei and Mu Jintang looked at each other. They had never expected that Bai Heyi would actually give them the identity of the king of the opposite sex, a first-rank imperial status.

They both expressed their gratitude.

After that, the meritorious soldiers were rewarded.

When the banquet ended, it was already midnight.
