Chapter 284 Marriage Grant
Xiao Yilin, who was on his way back to Beijing, also received news from the capital and learned about what happened in the palace.
Xiao Yilin secretly hated Concubine Yan Shu and her daughter for plotting against his little girl. Fortunately, his father directly revealed Chu Jingyan's identity as a woman, otherwise what would have happened.
Xiao Yilin's face was as dark as water, and a storm seemed to be brewing in his dark and deep eyes.
Han Qi was with his prince, and of course he also knew about the good deeds of Princess Le Yao in the palace, "Your Majesty, this Princess Le Yao is really brave, she dares to falsely convey His Majesty's will, and she dares to scheme against An Le so blatantly.
Fortunately, Hou Anle was born as a girl, otherwise he would have been tricked by them.
It seems that Concubine Yan Shu wants to win over Anle Hou for His Royal Highness Prince Rui. But this time they stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice. Both Princess Leyao and Concubine Yan Shu have become a joke in the harem."
Xiao Yilin pursed her lips tightly, clenched her fists, and remained silent for a long time before saying: "Hurry up, let's get back to the capital within two days."
Xiao Yilin hopes to return to the capital as soon as possible to drive away those who miss his wife.
As long as he returns to the capital, he will ask his father to grant a marriage to him and the little girl. As long as they become an official couple, with the imperial decree of marriage, no one can even think about his wife.
Jing Yi used her free time to go to the field outside the city. Although she left it to a steward, Butler Xiao of Prince Jing's Mansion also sent people to keep an eye on things here at the request of his prince. Xiao Quanzhou even asked
Come and check it out in person from time to time.
So when Jing Yi came to check on this field, she found that it was basically managed according to her requirements.
The fields have been cultivated and divided into very neat fields. In the distance, there is a row of large waterwheels beside the lake. A small manor has also been built near the fields.
And now the owner of this manor is Jing Yi.
Jingyi went to Zhuangzi to find the steward and asked him to take him to see the current situation of the fields.
After the steward's introduction, Jingyi knew that this field had washed away part of the salt and alkali in the field according to her method, and also planted the milkvetch seeds she left in the field. However, the emergence rate and growth of milkvetch
The situation is not very good, as Jingyi expected.
Jing Yi checked and found that many milkvetch seeds did not germinate, but because of the cold weather the seeds did not rot and could still germinate. However, this requires the use of supernatural powers to promote the growth of these seeds.
It's just that the weather is cold now, so it's not suitable to germinate seeds. She can only wait until next spring to use her power to germinate seeds, so that they can germinate and grow early, and they won't be much different from the ones that germinate this year.
However, Jingyi still sent some energy to the seeds buried in the ground, allowing them to survive the winter safely.
Jingyi walked in the field, grabbing a handful of soil from time to time and checking it out. Although the soil in the field was still a little compacted and the soil quality was not very good, as long as the milkvetch was used as green manure next year, the field should be fertile.
Some.
After checking the fields, Jingyi felt confident, and then returned to the manor for a visit. The manor was also built according to Jingyi's drawings. Although it was not big, it had several courtyards, a hospital where the owner's family lived, and a hospital for the family.
The courtyard where servants and hired workers live.
This manor is fully functional. When Jingyi plans to live here often in the future, it will also be convenient for her to take care of the surrounding fields.
On the day when Xiao Yilin's squadron returned to the capital, the whole capital was filled with joy. The emperor ordered his ministers to go out of the city to greet the victorious soldiers returning to the court.
The scale of the reception this time was much larger than when Shao Yichen returned to Beijing. This was also the emperor's purpose to build momentum for his fourth son.
Jing Yi also put on court clothes early in the morning and went out of the city with all the ministers to welcome the return of the Xuan Wei army.
Jingyi and Xiao Yilin had not seen each other for almost a month, and Jingyi also felt the feeling of longing that she had never felt before. She knew that she really had Xiao Yilin in her heart.
When I think about meeting my boyfriend soon, I feel a little excited.
The ministers in the ten-mile pavilion outside the city were waiting eagerly, and finally saw the Xuanwei army meandering in the distance. At this time, the person walking in the front was Marshal Xiao Yilin, who was commanding the three armies on the expedition.
Xiao Yilin was wearing armor and sitting on a war horse, with a large flag fluttering in the wind behind him, which made Xiao Yilin even more majestic and intimidating.
Behind some important ministers, Jingyi saw Xiao Yilin's figure through the gap in the crowd in front. Looking at the figure that flickered in and out, Jingyi felt that her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
She found that Xiao Yilin was even more handsome. His handsome face, impressive momentum, and majesty as the first man in the army were really majestic and intimidating in all directions.
At this time, Xiao Yilin, who was sitting on the horse, was also looking for his little girl in the crowd, and finally saw her slightly petite behind a group of people.
After that, he could no longer see anyone else in his eyes, only the person he thought about day and night.
The personal guard following Xiao Yilin sighed: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that all the ministers of the court will come to greet us this time."
Xiao Yilin didn't feel anything about this. He wished that the little girl would pick him up alone, so that he could see his little girl as soon as possible and wouldn't have to deal with so many people.
Xiao Yilin arrived in front of the ministers, who all welcomed Xiao Yilin and other senior generals into the city. As for the Xuanwei army, they returned to the Beida camp.
The senior generals of the Xuanwei Army followed Xiao Yilin into the palace. The emperor was already waiting in the main hall.
Today is a meeting of the imperial court, and all the ministers and ministers of the imperial court who can attend the imperial court are here.
Xiao Chenghan sat on the emperor's throne and waved to Han Li. Han Li took a few steps forward and opened an imperial edict and began to read it.
This first imperial edict was a kind of commendation and reward for the soldiers of Xuanwei Army. The emperor was very generous this time. He promoted those who deserved promotions, rewarded those who deserved gold, silver and jewels, and was not stingy with real estate and land.
Although Xiao Yilin was a prince, he was also a first-class general. This time the emperor gave him two more positions. It could be said that he had several official positions in one, and he also enjoyed double salary.
Next to Xiao Yilin was Jing Yi. However, when the emperor asked Jing Yi what reward she wanted, Jing Yi said she didn't want any official position or title, and just rewarded her with some gold and silver.
So the emperor generously rewarded Jingyi with many gold, silver and jewels.
Jing Yi knew that a woman wanted those official positions, and the title was of no use. If she married Xiao Yilin in the future, she would have to revert to being a daughter. She would have no place in a man's world, so she might as well get some gold and silver.
If something happens in the future, the gold and silver can be put into the lucky bag and taken away.
After everyone was rewarded, Han Li came up with the last imperial edict: "Prince Jing, Marquis Anle will receive the edict..."
Jing Yi and Xiao Yilin both came out of the queue and knelt side by side in the main hall, each other's hearts beating violently at this moment.
Jing Yi heard that the emperor's imperial edict began with a series of words of praise for her, and the final meaning was to grant a marriage to her and Xiao Yilin, and she would be Xiao Yilin's principal concubine.
Did the emperor grant them a marriage directly? He really didn't waste any time.
