Chapter 474: Reunion (1)
The weather is getting hotter and it is quite uncomfortable to wear thick official uniforms on your body.
However, over the past two years, Cheng Jinrong has gradually gotten used to it.
The weather today is particularly bright and it seems to be a little hotter than usual. Cheng Jinrong sat down, clearly doing nothing, but his face was blushed, and his eyes were as bright as spring water.
Empress Pei saw it in her eyes and was secretly amused and joked: "Don't be too anxious. He Qiren is in the Golden Palace. When the court disperses, you will see him."
Cheng Jinrong's cheeks were slightly red, but she did not deny it.
Her joy was indeed because He Qi returned to Beijing.
The border army arrived outside the city yesterday afternoon.
In order to offer prisoners, the border army specially repaired it all night and entered the city gate early this morning. Several princes and ministers in the court went to greet each other in person. The sides of the imperial road were filled with people. The lively scenes were really unseen for several years.
The main reason is that Da Chu hasn't won such a big victory for a long time.
The people don’t care whether the Tatar Prince is the prince consort of the Great Chu or not, they don’t care about the face of the emperor. In short, the Tatar Prince died on the battlefield, and the Great Prince was captured alive and captured. This is a great good thing!
Amid the excited shouts of the people, Pingguo Gongping Xihou and others entered the palace together and entered the Golden Palace.
The movements in the Golden Palace were caused by eunuchs running errands to deliver messages. Before the court could disperse, the news reached Empress Pei's ears.
Emperor Xuanhe issued an order to imprison the Tatar prince in the Tianzhuo of the Zongren Mansion. The other Tatar prisoners were converted into military slaves. The Duke of Pingguo Heping Xihou made great contributions and each received heavy rewards.
The military merits were the most important. The Duke of Pingguo and the Marquis of Pingxi were hereditary titles and were no longer rewarded. Emperor Xuanhe rewarded two people with gold, a thousand taels of fertile land, a thousand taels of fertile land.
General He Song, with the support of Duke Ping, entered the Golden Palace. The emperor praised He Song with great praise, praised him with kind words, and allowed He Song to return to his mansion to raise his family.
If you have merits, you should be rewarded, and if you have mistakes, you should be punished.
Next, it’s time to deal with He Qi!
The eunuch running errands did not come for a long time, and Cheng Jinrong gradually became anxious and unbearable.
She pleaded for He Qi repeatedly. Although Emperor Xuanhe did not agree clearly, his attitude was revealed and he would not severely punish He Qi... But now, she suddenly became less sure.
If someone makes a mistake and He Qi is inappropriate in dealing with it, Emperor Xuanhe may change his mind.
Cheng Jinrong was uneasy and could not sit still.
Empress Pei was secretly amused and comforted her softly: "Don't worry! The emperor will not punish He Qi severely."
Cheng Jinrong nodded, and his eyes floated towards the door of the hall.
Finally, Xiaoxi's figure appeared outside the door.
The fine skin and tender flesh and handsome face of the father-in-law Xiaoxi walked into the hall and was about to salute, but Cheng Jinrong couldn't wait to speak: "The father-in-law Xiaoxi is exempt from the gift. What's going on in the Golden Palace now? What is the emperor going to deal with Captain He?"
Queen Pei looked over without any concern and smiled.
Only Physician Cheng is so decent in front of the Empress.
Xiaoxi replied with a smile: "General He is the one who is in charge of the lieutenant He, and the Marquis of Pingxi also talks about Xiang for the lieutenant He. Most of the military generals in the court speak for the lieutenant He, and ask the emperor to give up a gentle resignation."
"Even those censors who are disgusting, no one said that Captain He was not good. Some people said that the Tartar prince should have been killed long ago. Death at the hands of Captain He was considered dead."
"The emperor issued an oral order in the current court, fined Captain He a one-year salary, and ordered Captain He to reflect on his own mistakes at the Duke of Pingguo's Mansion and write a memorial to apologize."
Cheng Jinrong's heart suddenly fell back to his original position, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Thank you, Father-in-law Xiaoxi, for delivering the letter."
Emperor Xuanhe also punished the Marquis of Yong'an. Marquis of Yong'an lost his holy heart and was embarrassed to see him. However, when he came to He Qi, the punishment was really light.
The penalty for one year's salary is insignificant. He Qi rushed back to Beijing before he recovered from his injuries. He returned to his home to "reflect on his own mistakes" and regarded it as recuperating. As for how long it takes to write a confession, it is all within the thought of Emperor Xuanhe. Some people write it for half a year, while others only write it for half a month.
Empress Pei was also very happy when she heard this and immediately ordered Luo Yu: "It's hard for Mr. Xiaoxi to run errands today to send a message. Luo Yu, please give Xiaoxi a pot of tea and two snacks."
Xiao Xi's father-in-law smiled and thanked him.
It is common for the master to reward gold and silver, but it is more decent to appreciate tea, water and pastries.
"Now you should be relieved!" Empress Pei chuckled softly, "After the court dispersed, I will ask Captain Xuanhe to ask."
Empress Pei made an opportunity to meet He Qi.
Cheng Jinrong pursed her lips and smiled, and took Queen Pei's delight: "Thank you, Queen."
...
While waiting, time passes particularly slowly.
Finally, the court has dispersed.
The palace maids in the Jiaofang Hall were ordered to wait outside the Golden Palace.
Soon, the familiar tall young figure appeared in front of Cheng Jinrong.
The handsome boy in soft armor looked at Cheng Jinrong deeply. A bright light burst out in his eyes. The scorching sun outside the hall was not as bright as his eyes.
Cheng Jinrong suddenly felt his eyes sluggish.
The moment of reunion is so joyful and sweet, mixed with a hint of sourness.
He Qi was recuperating for several months and was running on the road again. His face was really hard to say. His handsome face was a bit haggard and thin.
In He Qi's eyes, Cheng Jinrong was a little haggarder than before. It must be because she was thinking about him day and night...
The two of them were stalemate and could hardly separate.
Queen Pei coughed lightly or seriously.
He Qi reluctantly withdrew his gaze and bowed his fists and saluted: "I have seen the Queen."
Empress Pei smiled and said, "Person He is exempted from courtesy. How has the injuries on Captain He recovered?"
"When returning to the Empress, Mo Jiang suffered seven injuries that day, and the injuries on his back were the worst. The other minor injuries were healed, and the injuries on his back were almost healed. This time, Mo Jiang was riding in a carriage all the way, but he did not hurt his body."
He Qi answered openly, but his eyes looked at Cheng Jinrong: "Thank you for your concern, I will not be seriously injured."
Cheng Jinrong looked angry and glared quietly.
In front of Empress Pei, I have to restrain myself.
Unfortunately, the results were minimal. He Qi's eyes seemed to stick to her.
Empress Pei laughed in her heart and opened her mouth to instruct: "Jinrong, go to the side hall to take a test for the pulse of the Lieutenant He Jiao." She took the opportunity to speak alone.
As expected, my mother-in-law loves her son-in-law the most.
He Qi felt happy and immediately thanked Empress Pei for her grace. Cheng Jinrong felt a fever behind her ears and was calm on her face. After receiving the order, she went to the side hall with He Qi.
"Please sit down and stretch out your left hand." Cheng Jinrong had an open-minded doctoral style.
Captain He sat down obediently and stretched out his left hand.
