Chapter 387 Return in triumph

In the third month of spring, all things revived, and Li Ling won a great victory in the southern expedition and returned to Beijing in triumph.

The army camped thirty miles outside the city and waited for orders. Li Ling first entered the city with a group of deputy generals and personal guards.

When the people in the capital learned of General Li's triumphal return, they beat gongs and drums along the road and cheered, making it very lively. The Duke's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the whole family was waiting in front of the mansion to welcome Li Ling's triumphant return.

As soon as Li Ling appeared at the entrance of the alley with a group of armed guards, Sister Bao couldn't wait to run up to her father with her arms spread out.

Li Ling was riding on a horse. When he saw his beloved little daughter running towards him, he immediately got off the horse and strode forward in a hurry. He stretched out his arms and held his daughter tightly in his arms and kissed her again and again, and then he got on the horse.

, carrying her daughter all the way to the mansion.

Sister Bao is wearing a red spring dress, her hair is tied into a butterfly bun with a pink ribbon, her big black eyes seem to be able to talk, and her smile is even brighter and sweeter.

She was held by her stalwart and resolute father. Although it was her first time to sit on a tall horse, the little one was not timid at all, but her big bright eyes were full of curiosity and excitement. She was jumping and chattering with Li Ling along the way.

He kept talking.

All the generals knew that Li Ling loved his daughter very much. Seeing Sister Bao's innocence and cuteness, he couldn't help but tease her with every word he said.

Liang Jin stood beside Li Ling, looked at Sister Bao and asked with a smile: "Sister Bao, would you like to ride a horse?"

Facing this group of generals and generals in iron clothes and heavy armor, the little Sister Bao showed no fear at all. She tilted her head and replied cheerfully: "Okay! I like riding horses. This time daddy is back.

I’m going to ask dad to teach me how to ride a horse and how to drive in a while—”

The little girl Yuxue is cute and not timid. Anyone who sees her will inevitably fall in love with her. Hu Dahai also came up to her, lowering his voice as much as possible and asking Sister Bao with a grin: "Sister Bao, come here.

Can you let uncle give me a hug? It will be more comfortable for uncle, this big black horse, to sit on."

Sister Bao glanced sideways at him and flatly refused: "No."

When Hu Dahai saw the little doll refusing like this, he immediately frowned and asked with a stern face: "Why is this?"

Sister Bao put on a dull face and replied: "You are so ugly!"

This sentence made all the soldiers laugh. Li Ling kicked Hu Dahai and couldn't help laughing and scolded: "Go away, don't scare my daughter."

Hu Dahai frowned, touched his face, and made a face towards Sister Bao. Sister Bao looked up at Li Ling and giggled: "Dad, look, he is even uglier when he makes faces.

Just like a door god."

The little girl's innocent words made all the soldiers laugh.

Before entering the capital, all the soldiers had packed up outside the city. They no longer looked like the filthy blood-stained uniforms on the battlefield. Each one of them had shiny armor and a majestic military appearance.

Li Ling rode in front of the team. He was wearing a golden helmet and silver armor, which made him even more majestic.

Xu Wanning saw Li Ling approaching on horseback holding Sister Bao in his arms. He patted Brother Xuan and asked, "Why doesn't Brother Xuan run to greet daddy like a younger sister?"

Brother Xuan raised his little face and replied: "Dad taught me that men should not behave unruly."

Xu Wanning flattened her mouth and said to Jing Shu on the side: "This second brother is really partial. He dotes on his daughter in every possible way, but he is so harsh on his son."

With that said, he patted Brother Ping who was standing next to Brother Xuan, and called out: "Brother Ping, do you dare to run to greet your second uncle like your second sister?"

As soon as Brother Ping heard this, Sayazi ran out.

"This child is finally not afraid of his second brother."

Xu Wanning was rejoicing when she saw Brother Ping running to the door of the house and hiding behind the big stone lion at the door.

Jing Shu and Ping Yang couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering, but Xu Wanning shook her head and said: "This kid is usually not afraid of anything, but he is naturally afraid of his second brother."

Just as he was talking, Li Ling had already arrived in front of the mansion. He got off his horse, bowed to the old lady and his parents first, then turned around and raised his hand to take Brother Ping out from behind the stone pier, laughing and cursing.

: "You kid, you are always sneaky every time you see me."

Brother Ping was so frightened that he screamed.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Jingshu quickly stepped forward to protect Brother Ping and scolded Li Ling: "Don't scare the child."

Li Ling glanced at his wife tenderly, and then let go of Brother Ping. Brother Ping hid behind the old lady with his head in his arms, shouting: "Great-grandmother, save me, my second uncle wants to beat me again."

When Li Ling saw his nephew complaining again, he gritted his teeth, tapped him with his hand, and pretended to be ferocious, saying: "If I catch you telling you to complain in plain words again, I will really beat you up."

The whole family entered the mansion happily. The old lady understood that the husband and wife had been separated for a long time. After entering the second door, she told Li Ling: "Boyue will go to the palace to meet the saint in a while. Please go back first and let Shu'er help."

I'll wait for you to clean up, I've ordered them to prepare a reception banquet, and when you come back from the ceremony, our family will get together again."

The eldest princess has always had a cold temperament, so naturally she would not be able to do such a thing as a small woman like her daughter-in-law competing for her son. When she heard this, she urged Li Ling and said: "What the old lady said makes sense, you have to go see the emperor later."

, but it’s like following Shu’er back.”

Li Ling had been away from home for several months, so he naturally missed his grandmother, father and mother at home, but the person who haunted him the most was of course his wife.

After listening to the words of the old lady and the eldest princess, he did not refuse. He picked up his daughter and led his son, and returned to Qingfeng Garden with Jingshu first.

The spring breeze is warm, the vegetation is growing among the pavilions, and the weeping willows on both sides of the corridor have sprouted new buds.

A family of four walked slowly on the smooth stone road. Sister Bao lay on Li Ling's shoulder and kept chattering. Brother Xuan also looked at his stalwart father with admiration, but Li Ling's eyes were even more

Staying on the wife beside you.

Jing Shu was wearing a lotus pink peach blossom shirt, which was even more glaring than the spring sunshine.

Jing Shu met Li Ling's fiery gaze and said coquettishly: "What are you looking at? It's so straight that it makes people panic."

Li Ling curled his lips and said in her ear: "Would you like them to prepare some water?"

Jingshu looked at Li Ling without knowing why. She frowned slightly, looked at Li Ling with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and said, "What kind of water should I prepare?"

Li Ling blinked at Jing Shu, and Jing Shu finally understood. Her face couldn't help but blush, and she said angrily to Li Ling: "It's sunny in the sky, what are you thinking about?"

Reunited after a long absence, with his beloved wife by his side, what else can Li Ling think about?

After entering Qingfeng Garden, Li Ling handed the children over to the wet nurse and asked her to take them to play first.

Brother Xuan also wanted to hear his father talk about the march. Although he was not happy with his father's arrangement, he dared not say anything. Sister Bao jumped up and said, "I want dad to play with me."

!I want daddy!”
