Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Chapter 221: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 38

Five days later, Li Junze led his army back to the capital.

The streets were bustling with people, and the people lined the streets to welcome the triumphant soldiers.

Leading the way was the stern and majestic Crown Prince Li Junze, with the tall and straight Pei Qingcheng at his side and back, and behind him were the lieutenants and soldiers. The teahouses and taverns along the road were all full of people, and the unmarried girls shyly threw silk flowers at them.

A few flowers fell on Li Junze, but he didn't even look at them and just brushed them all to the ground.

Pei Qingcheng did the same.

Su Ziyu was on the second floor of a teahouse, staring at Li Junze who was riding a tall horse. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, seeing that the other party was so popular among the people, he suddenly felt that the two years he spent in Jiangnan were not in vain.

Chen Anyu, who was sitting opposite, focused more on Su Ziyu. Seeing that his brother was happy, he also raised his lips. However, for some reason, he always felt that there was an emotion in his brother's eyes that he could not understand.

Li Junze seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned his head to look where Su Ziyu was. Their eyes met. They looked at each other from a distance, as if everything around them had disappeared.

Su Zi wanted to give him a knowing smile.

The ice and snow in the depths of Li Junze's sharp eyes melted away in an instant, and a little bit of the tenderness hidden in them leaked out.

He curled his lips slightly and quickly disappeared. He turned around, rode his horse and looked straight ahead, becoming the majestic Crown Prince again.

All this happened in a flash, and no one noticed except Pei Qingcheng. A moment of bitterness flashed through his heart, but it eventually turned into relief. Fortunately, he had fulfilled his mission, and fortunately, they all came back alive.

In the Golden Throne Hall, the old emperor commended the merits, "Prince, you have been entrusted with the task at a critical moment, and yet you have repeatedly performed remarkable feats. You deserve a reward. Prince, is there anything you would like to receive?"

Li Junze bowed and said, "Father, it was the merit of all the soldiers to drive out the Huns. I dare not take credit for it. However, I have a wish. I hope that you can grant my mother's burial in the imperial mausoleum."

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court fell silent.

The empress died suddenly that year, and according to the rules she should have been buried in the imperial mausoleum, but the emperor went against his usual practice and ordered people to find a random place to bury her.

After that, ministers wrote letters to the emperor one after another, saying that it was against the ancestral system. The most violent family among them was the Empress's mother's family, the Pei family. Not long after, the entire Pei family was executed on the grounds of manipulating witchcraft.

From then on, the ministers dared not mention this matter again, for fear of angering the emperor.

At this moment, the old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and his hand on the dragon head tightened slightly. Soon, he concealed his inner displeasure and said, "I approve."

Li Junze bowed and said, "Thank you, Father, for your permission."

The next one was Pei Qingcheng. Not surprisingly, he proposed to overturn the case for the Pei family. The old emperor waved his hand and dropped the original charges against the Pei family. He appointed him as a general and also awarded him the Pei Mansion that had been previously banned.

The other generals were also rewarded.

After the court session, Li Junze was stopped by the Sixth Prince Li Yunyi, "Second brother, congratulations on your triumphant return."

Li Junze knew that he had come with bad intentions, so he just nodded slightly, his attitude was neither cold nor friendly, "Thank you, Sixth Brother."

The Sixth Prince Li Yunyi raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "Second brother, you can win on the battlefield, but not in the court. Let's wait and see."

Li Junze thought he was going to say something, but it ended like this. He regretted stopping. It was just a waste of time. "Childish."

After saying that, he walked around him and left.

The Sixth Prince Li Yunyi stared at his back. The little flame of admiration he had for this man suddenly died out. He bared his teeth and said angrily, "You are childish. Your whole family is childish."

The servant beside him said, "Your Highness, according to the rules, you should also be included in the Second Prince's family."

"Shut up, I don't need you to remind me." Li Yunyi glared at him, "Let's go find our mother."

After leaving the palace, Li Junze first went to look for Xin He away from the eyes and ears.

In the courtyard, Xin He was sitting by the window embroidering a purse.

In the blink of an eye, Qingluo, who was playing in the yard, suddenly fell to the ground unconscious. Xin He quickly dropped his purse and ran out, "Qingluo, Qingluo, are you okay?"

"She's fine. She will wake up in half an hour." Li Junze said with his hands behind his back.

Hearing his voice, Xin He then noticed that there was someone else in the courtyard. The other person was the distinguished Crown Prince. She was startled and quickly saluted and said, "Greetings, Crown Prince. I wonder what brings you here?"

Li Junze got straight to the point and said, "I know about you and Sui Er. I came to you today to exchange his indenture for the Ice Flower Hibiscus Jade Pendant in your hand."

That jade pendant was of great significance. No matter why Zi Yu gave it to her at that time, he had to redeem it now.

I came to exchange jade pendants with her again.

The two of them really have a tacit understanding, but they didn't inform each other in advance.

Xin He bravely took the contract from him, hid it close to her body, and then slowly said, "The jade pendant is not with me. My brother took it back a few days ago."

"Zi Yu? You mean he took the jade pendant from you?"

Li Junze was not angry because he was teased by her, but instead showed a somewhat happy expression.

Xin He nodded, not understanding what was so worthy of his happiness.

The corners of Li Junze's mouth curled up wildly, and he couldn't suppress it, and he even looked at Xin He with a little more favor. What could be more worth celebrating than being jealous for several years and finally finding out that it was all a misunderstanding!

"Okay, I understand. I'll figure out the engagement, you don't have to worry. Sui Er is yours from now on. Although he's a stubborn person, he's a sincere and kind person. He's a good man you can trust for life.

Also, if you still care about the fortune-telling divination you received when you were born, you can go to Shanci Temple and learn about the abbot’s fortune-telling skills. He will surely help you to read it again.”

Although Xin He didn't care, she still thanked Li Junze, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I'll keep it in mind."

After Li Junze left, someone hiding in the tree quickly flew down, walked up to her and asked, "Ah He, what did His Highness just say about the fortune?"

Seeing his anxious and worried look, Xin He smiled, raised her head slightly and looked at him and said, "When I was just born, I was said to be doomed to be alone. Are you afraid?"

Sui Er quickly shook his head, "I never believe in these things, and even if the fortune is true, it doesn't matter. Don't worry, I have a strong life, even if I die, it will definitely not be your fault."

“Bah bah bah!!!”

Xin He quickly asked Sui Er to do the same and pouted three times, "You are such a fool, why are you cursing yourself?

Your Highness has already given me your indenture, and you are mine from now on. Don’t talk about life and death anymore. We are going to grow old together and spend our lives together.”

Sui Er felt warm in his heart when he saw that she was so worried about him. He smiled innocently and said, "Okay Ah He, I will listen to you from now on. Whatever you say is what I will do."
