The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 155 Return to the DPRK

The prince brought a group of soldiers with him, and the scene was grand as they marched towards the capital.

The flags fluttered in the wind and the sound of horses' hooves clattered so loudly that it could have shaken the clouds.

Yunxi had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, with a group of family members from the marquis's mansion beside her.

She was wearing a light blue dress, and her small waist was swaying in all directions, which looked very pretty, but her face showed a little anxiety.

"Madam, please don't be anxious. The prince and his men will definitely be here soon."

Xiao Cui muttered softly to herself.

Yunxi nodded slightly, but her eyes seemed to be fixed far away, never moving away for a moment.

After a long time, the majestic team finally showed up.

The prince was riding on a big white horse, looking so energetic. His armor was shining so brightly that it hurt people's eyes when the sun shone on it.

"The prince is back!" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, but the cheers suddenly broke out like a pot of boiling water.

Yunxi immediately pushed forward, muttering, "Let me take a look, let me take a look."

She stretched her neck, stood on tiptoe, and trembled with the handkerchief in her hand.

The prince saw Yunxi and waved to her with a smile. Yunxi didn't care about anything else, shook off Xiao Cui's hand and ran towards the prince.

"Oh, my prince, I finally have you back." Yunxi's voice was filled with tears.

The prince quickly dismounted, hugged Yunxi in his arms, and said, "Sorry to have kept my lady waiting for so long."

A smile broke out on Yunxi's face, and tears glistened in her eyes.

The prince came to the city gate, dismounted,

He walked towards Yunxi with a swift pace. His face still bore the frost of the battlefield, and his eyes showed determination, yet also concealed a deep tenderness for Yunxi.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." The prince said, with a hint of fatigue in his voice. His voice was slightly hoarse, as if it had been worn by wind and sand.

Yunxi shook her head gently, her hair fluttering in the breeze. "As long as the prince returns safely, I'm willing to wait for as long as it takes."

As she spoke, her eyes became red and her gaze was fixed on the prince, as if she was afraid that he would disappear again in the next second.

At this moment, the court officials also came forward to greet him. The Prime Minister walked quickly forward, stroking his beard and saying, "Your Highness's triumphant return is truly a blessing for our dynasty!"

The smile on his face was so overwhelming that his eyes were almost narrowed into slits.

The prince bowed and saluted with a serious expression, "Thank you for the praise, Prime Minister. It is all thanks to the soldiers who fought desperately."

He straightened his back, and the blood stains on his armor were particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

The emperor's messenger stepped forward with his head held high and chest puffed out, shouting at the top of his voice, "The emperor has ordered that the prince be summoned to the palace to see him and be rewarded according to his merits!"

The sound was so sharp and loud that it made people's ears buzz.

The prince replied, "I obey your order!" He reluctantly turned his gaze away from Yunxi, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

Yunxi held the prince's hand, her hands trembling slightly, and whispered, "Prince, go quickly and come back soon."

She bit her lip, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

The prince nodded, shook Yunxi's hand vigorously, then turned around and followed the envoy into the palace.

Once you enter the palace, the high walls and vermilion gates all demonstrate the majesty of the royal family.

The prince walked straight towards the hall without looking around.

The palace was splendid and magnificent. The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, his face beaming with joy.

There was a hint of pride in that smile, as if he was proud of having such a capable and warlike minister.

"My dear minister, you have made great achievements in this battle. I will reward you handsomely." The emperor said in a loud voice that echoed in the empty hall.

The prince knelt on the ground to express his gratitude, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty." His forehead was pressed tightly against the ground, and his attitude was extremely respectful.

"I grant you ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of silk, and appoint you as the Great General Protecting the Nation."

The emperor waved his hand, and the golden threads on the dragon robe shone brightly in the sunlight.

The prince kowtowed again to express his gratitude, "I will serve the emperor with all my heart and soul, until my death."

Coming out of the palace, the prince was followed by a group of eunuchs holding rewards.

The prince walked with big strides, his posture as straight as a pine tree. The bloodstains on his armor had not yet completely dried, and he exuded a murderous aura.

He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but he could not hide a trace of fatigue in his eyes.

When he returned to the Marquis's residence, it was already decorated with lanterns and was bustling with activity. Seeing the Prince's return, the servants at the gate hurriedly knelt to greet him, shouting in unison, "Welcome back, Prince!"

The prince nodded slightly, walked straight into the mansion without stopping.

The servants of the marquis's mansion were busy in the yard, their faces filled with joy.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!" the servants of the Marquis' Mansion said in unison.

The prince glanced at them and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

The prince walked into the hall and sat in the main seat. He unfastened his sword from his waist and placed it on the table with a clang.

"Let's celebrate today!" the prince said in a loud and generous voice.

During the banquet, the soldiers laughed and talked happily, recounting their thrilling experiences on the battlefield.

"The enemy general was extremely ferocious. I fought him for dozens of rounds before I finally killed him."

General Chen said this, slapping his thigh hard, his face full of pride, the veins on his forehead bulging.

"Lieutenant General Li was even more courageous. He broke through the enemy's defenses alone and opened up the situation for us."

Another general took over the conversation, picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp. The wine flowed down the corners of his mouth, and he didn't bother to wipe it off.

Yunxi was listening quietly on the side. She was wearing a light blue dress and her hair was simply tied in a bun with a few strands hanging on her cheeks.

Her eyes were shining, her heart was full of admiration for these soldiers, and there was always a gentle smile on her lips.

At this time, a soldier stood up and toasted the prince with a glass of wine, "Your Majesty, it is my life's honor to follow you into battle."

The soldier was small in stature, but very clever, and his eyes were full of admiration for the prince.

The prince smiled and drank it all in one gulp, "They are all good boys!" Then he waved his hand and patted the soldier's shoulder heavily.

After three rounds of drinking, the prince stood up, clasped his hands together and said to everyone, "This victory is inseparable from everyone's bloody battles.

The Marquis' Mansion will make proper arrangements for all the soldiers so that you can all live a good life."

The prince's gaze was firm and his tone was sincere.

The soldiers stood up and expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, Your Highness!" The sound was deafening.

A general, his face flushed with drunkenness, swayed up to the prince and said, "Prince, we will continue to work with you in the future!"

The prince laughed heartily, "Good!"

Another soldier stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you are our backbone. With you here, we are not afraid of anything!"

The prince nodded heavily, "We are friends who have risked our lives together!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely warm, and everyone was toasting each other, making it very lively.

The celebration banquet lasted until late at night, and the prince was a little tipsy.

Yunxi helped the prince back to his room, "Prince, you've drunk too much, take a good rest."

The prince's steps were a little unsteady, but he held Yunxi's hand tightly, "Yunxi, I feel at ease with you around."

After entering the room, Yunxi said softly, "Your Highness, please sit down for a moment. I'll pour you a glass of water to sober you up."

The prince sat down obediently, but his eyes never left Yunxi. Yunxi poured water and handed it to the prince's mouth, "Prince, please drink slowly."

The prince took Yunxi's hand and gulped down a big gulp of water. Water flowed down the corners of his mouth. Yunxi hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it for him.

Afterwards, Yunxi walked behind the prince and gently squeezed his shoulders. "Prince, are you happy today?"

The prince closed his eyes, enjoying Yunxi's service, "I'm happy. I won the battle, and now you are by my side. How can I not be happy?"

Yunxi pursed her lips and smiled, "Then Your Highness must win more battles in the future to defend our country."

The prince pulled Yunxi over and asked her to sit on his lap. "Of course. I want you to live a good life forever."

Yunxi's face flushed instantly, and she said coquettishly, "Prince, stop making trouble. I will undress you and help you go to bed."

Yunxi carefully untied the prince's belt, took off his outer robe, and helped him take off his boots.

The prince lay down on the bed and Yunxi covered him with a quilt, "Prince, go to sleep."

The prince took Yunxi's hand and said, "Don't go, stay with me for a while." Yunxi nodded, sat on the edge of the bed, and watched the prince slowly close his eyes.

The next day, the prince woke up and felt full of energy.

"Your Highness, there are a lot of people outside, all here to congratulate you." Xiao Cui said.

The prince frowned and said, "Let them wait in the living room first."

The prince finished washing up and came to the living room.

"Your Highness, congratulations!" said a wealthy businessman, handing over a generous gift.

The prince said calmly, "Thank you."

The wealthy businessman smiled broadly, "Your Majesty, you have made great achievements in the war. You must take good care of my business in the future."

The prince glanced at him and said, "I will act impartially."

Then, many officials and gentry came, and there was a constant stream of people and cars in front of the marquis's mansion.

Yunxi was busy helping to greet the guests.

"Madam, please take a rest and don't get too tired." said Butler Liu.

Yunxi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's what I should do."

While greeting the guests, Yunxi ordered the servants to serve tea and water, and also had to pay attention to whether the guests had any needs.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she never stopped walking.

It was not until the evening that the guests gradually dispersed.

The prince and Yunxi sat in the yard, enjoying a moment of peace.

"I'm afraid I won't have any rest these days." said the prince.

Yunxi leaned in the prince's arms, "As long as the prince is happy, no matter how busy I am, it's worth it."

The prince sighed, "Yunxi, you have worked hard these days."

Yunxi shook her head. "It's not hard. It's my blessing to be able to share the burden for the prince."

The prince stroked Yunxi's hair gently, "It's great to have you."
