beautiful heart

On the [-]th day of the first month of the sixth year of Datong, King Beishan decided to return with a triumphant army. The princess brought the young master and all the civil and military officials to meet him ten miles away from Xingcheng. out of town.

In Shili Pavilion outside Xingcheng, Shui Jialing, the two elders of Beishan and Beishan Shuisheng are sitting in the gazebo looking forward to it. Outside, the civil and military officials are divided into two teams to sit on the left and right. Guard, the scene is solemn and majestic.

The only thing that is more inconsistent is that the first seat of the civil servants is neither the young Fu Jiazhong Shuling Xu Fang, nor the great minister Bi Heng or the big Changqiu Zhu Man, but a five or six-year-old little girl dressed in the Hou's mansion. There was also a middle-aged woman standing there.

The weather in the first lunar month is still very cold, but the sun felt a little hot at the meeting at noon, and now it’s cold again. Although everyone has been waiting in the cold wind for half an hour, they still don’t feel cold. The thought of seeing the king soon warmed their hearts.

The baby is wearing a padded robe and a small cape today, with a fluffy hat, and a pair of small eyes are staring at the other side of the road motionlessly. Through the woven curtain, he vaguely sees a person riding a horse towards this side. Come on, the eyes suddenly opened wide.

After a while, there was still only one horse and one person on the road, and the baby's bright eyes dimmed. Shui Jialing saw everything in her eyes and said nothing, but Nangong Ling said, "Don't worry, baby!" , your father will be here soon."

The horses stopped outside the gazebo, and before the horses could stand still, the Royal Forest Army dismounted a few steps and walked to the steps of the gazebo, saluted in the direction of the weaving curtain, and said, "To the Supreme King, the Grand Concubine, the Concubine, and the Young Master, Your Majesty is five miles away."

"Re-exploration" Beishan Ming and Nangong Ling were dressed very energetically today, and they also put on capes, making them even more energetic, but before going out, they kept asking each other in a low voice if it was all right. After waiting for five years and worrying for five years, their children Finally came back today, so good, so good.

"I'm going to see my father soon, baby Gao is not happy." Nangong Ling stretched out his hands, and the baby immediately threw himself into grandma's arms, "Happy, so is grandma, so is grandpa, and so is mother and concubine."

The baby nestled under Nangongling's knees looked out of the tent after speaking, fearing that he would miss the moment when he saw his father, Nangongling held both cool little hands in his hands, although there were woven curtains around the pavilion The tent covered it but still couldn't block the wind.

"Come... come" Baobao shouted suddenly, causing everyone to look towards the intersection, and sure enough, they saw a person wearing yellow armor and white armor, followed by many people wearing armor and official uniforms.

Then there was the phoenix flag, which was so familiar to everyone, fluttering in the wind, covering the sky and the sun. At this time, the baby had already escaped from Nangong Ling and ran outside the gazebo, and the civil and military officials who were sitting had already stood up and formed a few rows.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer, it's getting closer, "Welcome to the triumphant return of the king, long live the king, long live the king", seeing the two elders standing in the wind, Beishan must have never thought that they would come, and regretted it in his heart. Knowing that she didn't tell Shui Jialing the exact time.

Quickly got off the horse and walked in front of the two elders, "A child greets his parents, it is unfilial for the child to keep his parents waiting in the wind." How long has it been since he greeted the two elders? She actually knelt down.

Nangong Ling didn't expect that Beishan would make such a big ceremony when he came back, but Beishan Ming held his hand and shook his head. Looking at his wife's eyes, she suddenly understood that the child wanted to be filial and they couldn't stop them, otherwise the child would be psychologically disturbed. uncomfortable.

"Refer to the Supreme King, the Concubine, the Concubine, and the Young Master, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." Bei Shan stopped his horse, Duan Min and Shi Yi also got off their horses, and other generals and officials also got off their horses and carriages after seeing this.

At the ten-mile pavilion, except for the two elders of Beishan who were still standing, everyone else knelt on the ground. The sound of the flag being blown by the wind and reverberating filled everyone's ears, loud and solemn.

"It's good to come back, just come back, get up quickly and don't knock your feet." Nangong Ling said to help Bei Shanding and looked at Shui Jialing and the others who were still kneeling. Female two and Xiaoyue.

"You all get up too." With so many kneeling people, Beishan would not be able to help them up one by one. After a brief speech, the army set off again, but there were a few more carriages and many imperial guards and officials ahead.

All the way from the city gate to the palace, the common people lined the road to greet each other. There was no noise or crowding. They kneeled neatly on both sides of the road, which filled Beishan Ding with a sense of pride and satisfaction that he had never had before.

Of course, it also made Beishan Ding feel doubts in his heart. When he thought of the doubts in his heart, he felt uncomfortable. If this was the people's sincere welcome to accept her, but if it was a deliberate formality, it would be difficult for her to accept it.

She didn't see too many formalities in her previous life. She doesn't need false appearances, she only needs the truth. Even if the truth is cruel, she still thinks it is much better than the feigned prosperity, because that is the most real existence.

When they arrived at the palace, Beishan decided to let all the officials go home, because she was going to hold a celebration banquet in the Daming Hall in the evening, and all officials of the sixth rank and above in the city could participate, and the third rank and above could also bring a family member, so naturally they had to go back get ready.

As for the army, Shi Yi and Duan Min will take care of it, don't worry about her. After entering the palace, Beishan Ding held the baby in her hands. Her parents used to hug her like this when she was so young, but this is the second time she hugged her. Baby.

Because the Tranquility Palace was still behind the Phoenix Palace, Bei Shanding planned to send the two elders back but was sternly rejected by the two elders, and asked her to accompany Shui Jialing's mother and daughter. Thinking of the royal chariot and the palace maid and eunuch, Bei Shanding did not come again Persevere, because she really has something to say to Shui Jialing.

"Does the baby miss the father?", "Yes"; "Did you listen to the mother and concubine?", "Yes"; "What has the baby been learning recently? How is it?", "Four books, Shaofu said The baby learns quickly." The baby who has been nestled in Beishan Ding's arms answered very positively.

"Baby is so good, come on, this is a reward from the father." Beishan decided to take out a small hand-sized rattle from his sleeve, and after two turns, it made a nice thumping sound. At that time, Kitayama decided to buy it on a whim.

There were few toys for children in ancient times, and she didn't know what to buy. Although the baby rattle might have played with it, she still bought one. Unexpectedly, the baby liked it very much, and stared at the rattle without moving.

Although he likes it very much, the baby didn't take or snatch it from her hand directly, but waited until Beishan Ding handed it to her before she reached out to take it, and after reporting with her and Shui Jialing, she ran aside and started playing.

Seeing the baby having fun, Beishan Ding felt indescribably happy, and at the same time lamented that Yu Shui Jialing taught the baby so well. It was like when she was young, she would get it if she wanted it, and if she couldn’t get it, she would grab it, anyway. Will not wait obediently.

"Let's talk." From the moment she entered the palace, Shui Jialing felt that something was wrong with Bei Shan Ding. As for what was wrong, she didn't have a clue for a while, because in retrospect, nothing special happened along the way.

Beishan must have been a little skeptical at first, but now he has figured it out a little bit. She still doesn't understand Shui Jialing's character. That kind of mind.

She didn't intend to bring up this matter again, but she didn't expect Shui Jialing to feel it, so she had to talk about what was in her heart, and it turned out that Shui Jialing didn't give her a good look for a few days.

A few hours later, it was night, and the celebration banquet started on time. Looking at the minister Bei Shanding sitting under the Highness, it seemed that he had returned to the time when he held a banquet here last time, but the family members around them confirmed that it was not at that time.

Because these ministers were all newly recruited by her, the team was basically young and the oldest, that is, middle-aged, so most of them didn't have families. Now, except for the fifth-rank and sixth-rank officials who sit at the end, according to the imperial edict, they don't bring their families. Other than that, there are people around.

The most important thing is that many people don't look as young as before. They may be old in heart or in body, but these are not important, and she is not concerned, because what is worrying now is how to award rewards .

Before Beishan could figure out how to reward her, the ministers presented her with another problem, asking her to proclaim herself the emperor. Although proclaiming the emperor was a matter of course, she still felt that it was too hasty, and she should make preparations before proclaiming the emperor.

But the ministers understand that there is a high probability that Beishan will reward the meritorious officials at the celebration banquet today, but Beishan is only a king now, and the highest title he can confer is only a marquis, but it will be different if Beishan becomes emperor, so they compare Kitayama was still in a hurry.

Before Beishan Ding could decide whether to agree or not, the two elders of Beishan also opened their mouths, and the meaning was the same as that of Baiguan. They looked at Shui Jialing and ignored them at all. Understand.

After calling the etiquette officer to ask questions, she agreed only when she knew there would be no good days this month. What she was most afraid of was that there would be good days this month. Now that she is [-], how could it be possible to make preparations in less than ten days? of worries.

After repeated comparisons and inspections, Beishan decided to set the enthronement ceremony on February [-]th, and it should be in time for nearly a month, and the officials would not find it too difficult to wait for a month, so everyone would feel uncomfortable.

The dinner party ended at [-] or [-] o'clock, and the two elders of Beishan went back as early as nine o'clock. As the protagonists, Beishan Ding and Shui Jialing should not be able to leave, but the baby is too young after all and needs to rest early, so Shui Jialing and the baby are tight He also left after the two elders of Beishan.

When Shui Jialing was there, Beishan Ding didn't drink a drop of wine, all she drank was water, but as soon as Shui Jialing left, she asked someone to switch to wine, and she drank more than a dozen glasses in an hour, afraid that she would be caught by Shui Jia when she went back. Ling found out, so she walked all the way back, blowing the wind while walking.

Before entering the door, I sniffed it by myself. There was no smell of alcohol before entering. Honghua, who had been following her, kept her head down all the way, but she was thinking in her heart that the king five years later and the king five years ago have not changed much. .

She really didn't think it had changed much. She still valued the princess so much, and was still a little afraid of the princess. No one knew better than her that changing wine for water and wine was what she did. This little action before entering the door confirmed her thoughts. .

Beishan must have no time to care about the idea of ​​safflower, she is thinking now that Shui Jialing will not find out that she has drunk alcohol, otherwise the first night of sleep will be an unknown, and when she entered the inner hall, she saw that Shui Jialing did not drink. Sleep, "Jia Ling, why haven't you slept yet?".

"This is hangover soup." Following Shui Jialing's gaze, Beishan Dingfang found a bowl on the table next to him, still steaming. It must have been made by someone. His heart warmed up, but when he thought of the name of the soup I started sweating and was still found.
