Emperor Jin

Chapter 121 Returning to Beijing
The dragon boat returned in triumph, and the people along the coast were all cheering for it—the unification of the world is just around the corner, and the days of peace and prosperity seem to be shining before our eyes.

As the saying goes, it is better to be a dog of peace than to be a chaotic person. The wish of the common people is nothing more than that simple.

The emperor and his entourage disembarked from the ship, and all the civil and military officials gathered to greet them. The good-natured people on the shore also burned incense and hung flowers, and bowed down with their arms and legs.

When Yu Jia landed, the black crows knelt down to meet him, the bright sunlight shone on the emperor, he was a little darker and thinner, but his sharp sword eyebrows were flying higher and higher, he seemed to be in a good mood.

But it was just as if, when Yunshi led the crowd to land, there were clicks of tsk-tsks, and then cheers like a mountain surge and a tsunami. The multi-tongued and well-informed were already talking about this Baipao Confucianism will attack thousands of miles away, and taking Jinling is like searching for something.

The atmosphere around the emperor calmed down, he quietly listened to the cheers outside the chariot, and showed a cold sneer.

Bao Jin rested his chin on one hand and looked at him quietly, "Why are you laughing, Long Live?"

"Am I joking?"

The emperor glanced at her, his smile becoming more unpredictable.

Bao Jin couldn't help smiling, and said bravely: "Of course, and besides, the smile is very unkind."

The emperor was startled, and then he fell back on the cushion with a smile.

It took a long time before he restrained his smile, squinted his eyes, and looked at the lively scene outside the curtain.

"You must be thinking in your heart that I am jealous of the talents and achievements of my subjects, which is why I am so displeased."

He said what everyone had speculated in private, so calm and generous.

Unexpectedly, Bao Jin smiled slightly, "Whoever thinks so, then he is blind."

"Are you flattering or comforting?"

The emperor smiled meaninglessly, and when he saw the girl's furious look, Jiyan smiled and said: "It's because I have nothing to say, so go ahead and talk!"

"Long live and General Yun are both talented for a while, but unfortunately, your luck this time is very different."

"Just like in the battle between Chu and Han, King Xiang encountered a strong enemy in Julu. Although it was a tragic victory, it was not easy; but because there was no one in the pass, Liu Bang drove straight in with ease--Long live and General Yun this time, but It's very similar."

Bao Jin glanced at him and said sincerely: "It's a pity that people in the world usually judge success or failure based on appearances...but with the open-mindedness of Long Live, I wouldn't care about the misunderstandings of these foolish men and women."

"That's a good saying."

The emperor laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, the haze on his handsome and indifferent face disappeared, "It turns out that if I cared about these comments, I would become a narrow-minded person. It's really hard to wear your high hat." not easy."

Seeing that he was almost overjoyed, Baojin finally breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, but he was also secretly amazed—he had gloomy brows along the way, but because of his own praise, he immediately relieved his knot.

The emperor restrained his smile, and looked at Baojin with his dark eyes, as if he wanted to engrave her deeply in his heart. "Those who know me know it, those who don't know me talk about it... In the future, as long as I think of you, there will be no more troubles."

Baojin's heart was shocked, he didn't expect him to say such a thing, all cunning words were thrown out of the blue, even the cheers outside the chariot car seemed to disappear in his ears, in the sky, there was only this deep look, and A murmur.

There was a turmoil in her heart, but in the dark, she seemed to be filled with sweetness, full of joy and carefreeness.

In her 19 years, her sister's light seemed to be everywhere. People admired her, loved her, hated her, but also feared her. However, the little Baojin seemed to be a dark star under the bright moon. No one cares, and no one will feel like a treasure because of her words, and his face will be full of glory.

Except for him, the him in front of him, the new emperor who has the hatred of seizing the country and killing relatives with her...

She was at a loss, only felt a rush of heat in front of her eyes, as if tears were about to burst into her eyes, but there were no tears after all, she leaned tiredly on the small table, and said lightly: "It's still far away from the capital..."

Seeing her gossip about him, the emperor thought she was young and shy, so he didn't care. He followed her words and said, "There is still more than half a day's journey. I'm afraid the palace is getting impatient..."

He stopped suddenly, although he didn't mention the Queen's name, but it still made his heart sink, thinking of the plain but cold reply letter, he couldn't help but have a headache again——

The Xu family can be regarded as a dignified lady. After traveling such a long distance to the army in such a panic, if it spreads, the world will whisper that the queen can't tolerate others... Why did you do it so badly? "

He secretly sighed in his heart, but still couldn't bear to be harsh on his beloved wife, he just swallowed the sigh in his chest, and ordered left and right to speed up in a deep voice.

The four wheels of the chariot rumbled, rolling deep and shallow traces on the Qingshi Long Street, and amidst the cheers of the crowd, they drove towards the Nine Layers Forbidden Garden and the high palace wall.

"What's the matter, what's the matter with the humble female captives being brought back one by one?"

When the queen heard Lin'er's vivid narration, she was not furious, but raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes showed a bit of disapproval and meanness.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has not favored the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but only put her in the teaching workshop. It is Xu Jieyu, who accompanied the driver all the way, but he loves her even more. After returning to Beijing, I am afraid that he will mention her rank. Woolen cloth!"

"It's very good..."

The queen sneered slowly, her phoenix eyes gleaming coldly, "A good daughter born to the Yun family can't even make one, and she has a different surname..."

Lin'er curled her lips and said: "Concubine Xian's health has also improved in the past few days, she dares to change at the first sight of the wind, both aunt and nephew are very fine!"

"Thinking about the return of the emperor, will she overturn the case?"

The queen was very peaceful, sitting quietly watching the fish in the pond, as if she wanted to stare at something from the colorful, "She thought that the turning point was imminent, but she never thought that in my mind, they were just the fish in the pond, and when they wanted to catch Going ashore, all you need is a net bag."

Her eyes flickered slightly, as if she was immersed in some secret past, "A person once said that fishing is not about fishing, but about leisure - it's really ridiculous. If it's not for holding the fish in your palm, why sit on the river bank empty?"
