You should spend the rest of your life with Qingqing

Chapter 2 Rewards
Imperial Palace, inside the Wuji Hall

"My Majesty is blessed and safe, and my ministers will not disgrace their fate." Hearing this, the Emperor quickly walked down the jade steps and held Ying Yu's fisted arm.

The servant moved a round stool, Ying Yu sat down vacantly, and said: "Prince Hu Guo died in battle, and general Yin Jie was seriously injured. Hu Guo is willing to cut the city twenty, a thousand horses, and pay ten thousand taels of money to negotiate a peace. The book came to discuss together, and it is already on the way, arriving in Beijing on the [-]th."

"Okay! Okay! Okay! The matter of welcoming the envoys and negotiating peace will be discussed by Aiqing and Wen Zhaozhen, Minister of Rites." Hu Guo was hit hard, and the wrinkles on the emperor's brows relaxed a lot. I will reward you with whatever you want."

"It's the duty of a minister to share worries for the emperor, for Daqi and the emperor, not for rewards." Ying Yu stood up and replied calmly.

"How old is Yinghou? Have you ever had a wife?" The emperor twirled the ring on his thumb and asked again.

"Seventeen, I have never married a wife." As if guessing the emperor's next words, Ying Yu leaned over and said: "I want to ask for a favor, I only want to marry the woman I like in the future, and I will ask the emperor to marry me. "The emperor responded.

After returning to the conversation, the emperor asked Ying Yu to step back.

After leaving the palace, Ying Yu rode his horse all the way, and the wind in May and June began to carry a trace of heat. A drop of sweat oozed from the corner of his forehead, flowed down his sharp jaw, and finally sank into his neckline.

Before arriving at the gate of the Hou's Mansion, a set of rewards entered the Hou's Mansion. Later, when Eunuch Zhou arrived at the Hou's Mansion with the imperial decree, Ying Yu had no time to remove the armor and asked the steward to inform the family members of the various courtyards to come and receive the decree.

Not long after, the stepmother Xiao Du, dressed in high-grade makeup, walked slowly while supporting the maid's arm, followed by her eldest brother Ying Tao, sister-in-law Liu Shi, younger sister Ying Si, younger brother Ying Zhao, and finally Chang Shi in plain clothes.

There are not many serious masters in the Hou's Mansion, and now they are kneeling together, compared with the maids and servants next to them, they are even less. Among them, Chang's, who has the lowest score, is older.

Chang's had served by the old Hou Ye Ying Sheng's side since she was a child, and when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, it was logical that she became Ying Sheng's housemate.

When the wife of the main house, Mrs. Du, entered the Hou's mansion, because of her love for her since childhood, she was three years older than the Chang family. The Chang family actually gave birth to the eldest son Ying Tao before the wife of the main house, Ying Tao. Became a concubine, for this reason, Mrs. Du often tripped Mrs. Chang.

Chang's stomach is not up to snuff, Ying Tao was weaker than ordinary children when he was born, the government doctor saw that it was a disease brought out in the womb, it couldn't be cured and he couldn't die, but his body was weak and he couldn't practice martial arts.

At present, a pot of cold water poured over Ying Sheng's heart. The ancestors of the Yongwei Hou Mansion won the emperor's favor through military exploits for generations. If they can't practice martial arts, they will be useless. In the end, they only rewarded some supplements and asked Chang to take care of them carefully. , so I don't ask much.

Two years later, Mrs. Du gave birth to Ying Yu, and the old Hou Ye devoted all his attention to his son.

For a while, the people in the mansion acted according to the wind and ordered the dishes. The life of Chang's mother and son was even more difficult. Although they were not short of food and clothing, they were not favored after all.

But who would have thought that the Du family had been prosperous for a few years, and died just after giving birth to their daughter Ying Si, leaving only five-year-old Ying Yu and Ying Si waiting to be fed.

In order to cling tightly to the thigh of Yongweihou Mansion, the Du Mansion married Du's youngest sister, Xiao Du, to the Hou Mansion, and gave the old Hou Ye Ying Sheng as his successor.

Xiao Du had just grown up when he married in. The old Hou Ye was more than ten years older than Xiao Du and he was not considerate. He was still half a child and wanted to raise children for his sister, so he would not give Ying Yu brothers and sisters good looks.

A year later, she gave birth to her son Ying Zhao, so she had no time to take care of her sister's children, let alone Ying Tao who was not favored.

But who would have imagined that the old Hou Ye died in the battlefield with a poisonous arrow that sealed his throat with blood the year before last. Please speak for itself.

Eunuch Zhou announced the decree with his voice, it was nothing more than some gold and silver jewels, fertile land and precious land, "Ying Si, the younger sister of the Marquis of Yongwei, has a mature nature, is diligent and submissive, graceful and pure, and has a gentle nature. She will be canonized as the princess of Jiarou after writing it." .”

Eunuch Zhou finished announcing his will with a smile, and said, "The miscellaneous family congratulates Marquis Yongwei and Princess Jiarou."

Ying Yu glanced at the young servant Zhuyun, Zhuyun understood, and immediately took out a bulging purse from his arms and stuffed it into Eunuch Zhou's hand.

He weighed the purse secretly, and Eunuch Zhou's smile deepened, "Don't delay the reunion of Lord Hou and his family, the miscellaneous family will return to the palace to work as an errand."

Ying Yu sent Eunuch Zhou out of the mansion chasing clouds, and ignored the people standing behind him with different expressions. He only looked at his younger sister who seemed to have grown taller after not seeing him for two years, so he felt relieved.

He was very tired from marching all the way, and he was a bit serious at first, but now he looked even more difficult to approach. Seeing Ying Yu's expression, everyone didn't step forward, they just saluted, turned around and went back to each courtyard.

"Brother!" He was stopped by a clear voice before walking too far.

Suddenly a small hand took hold of Ying Yu's sleeve, looked down, the top of her soft hair reached Ying Yu's chest, and a pair of phoenix eyes flickered on Ying Si's tender face.

Ying Yu's face, which had been strained for a day, became much gentler, and he patted Ying Si's hair: "I haven't seen Ah Si for two years, and she has grown taller and prettier. My brother doesn't even dare to recognize her."

Ying Si took her brother's hand and turned it around, as if to confirm something, "Is my brother not injured? Is there no bleeding?"

Ying Yu's heart warmed up. There is no one who is not injured and bleeds on the battlefield. I met so many people today, but Ah Si was the only one who really cared about herself. I can't stand it."

"Just brag!" Relieved, Ying Si saw that Ying Yu was dressed in dust and dust, and her eyes were still slightly black and blue, so she hurriedly rushed people to the front yard to rest.

After entering the inner room, he knocked on the door one by one and came in: "Master Hou, the hot water is ready inside."

"There is no need to wait here, you and Zhuying also go down to have a good rest, just ask Zhufeng to wait outside the door." Ying Yu ordered, and Zhuliu retreated in response.

Ying Yu took off his dusty armor, and suddenly a goose-yellow veil fluttered to the ground.

It turned out that the handkerchief thrown by someone on the road in the morning fell on the hand holding the rein. I could have avoided it with a slight movement like before. !

I had no choice but to stuff it quietly into the armor on my chest first.

I was busy before, but now I remembered it, bent down to pick up the handkerchief on the ground, and saw two pear blossoms embroidered on it, and a small "Qing" character embroidered in blue on the side.

I don't know which girl it is from, I guess I won't see it again in the future, rubbed the frowning brows, and then stopped paying attention, casually threw the handkerchief aside and entered the room.
