Film and TV starts with acquiring a memory palace

Zhao Zongquan looked at the lively people around him and felt deeply moved.

The Song Dynasty really needed this victory, and the people had been suppressed for too long. Thinking of his own plan, Zhao Zongquan looked at the army that appeared in his sight with burning eyes.

Prince Huan Zhao Yingce took the lead and walked in the front, followed closely by Gu Tingyu, Duke Ying and others.

"Father, we are back."

"Okay, okay, you did great."

Zhao Zongquan was very satisfied when he saw Prince Huan Zhao Yingce, who had obviously become much more stable.

It was somewhat unreasonable for him to ascend to the throne, so after he ascended the throne, he promoted Prince Huan Zhao Yingce to the position of crown prince, hoping that after his death, Prince Huan Zhao Yingce could smoothly take over the throne.

This time, it took a long time to decide to let Prince Huan Zhao Yingce go, and he was very worried in his heart.

Now that he is back safely, Zhao Zongquan is of course very excited.

However, Zhao Zongquan did not say much to him and quickly walked up to Gu Tingyu and others.

"Marquis Ningyuan, Duke Yingguo, Duke Chengguo, Tingye, this time it's all thanks to you, thank you for your hard work."

"Your Majesty, this is my duty."

Gu Tingyu and others bowed to Zhao Zongquan in unison.

After Zhao Zongquan helped the few people up, the soldiers behind them all knelt on one knee.

"We see your Majesty."

"Okay, fellow soldiers, I have already prepared food for you in the camp, and the rewards will be here soon."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When they heard about the reward, all the soldiers' hearts were warmed. At least this meant that His Majesty had not forgotten them.

Gu Tingyu and others arranged for their subordinates to bring the soldiers back to the camp, and several people followed Zhao Zongquan to Bian Jing.

Gu Tingyu looked around and saw the carriage from his own house at a glance. Xian Jie'er was standing on the roof of the carriage, waving at Gu Tingyu.

Gu Tingyu smiled and waved to a few people.

"Ah, mother, did you see that? Father waved to me and saw me."

"Xian Jie'er, hurry up and get down. If you fall, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

Shao Xueyan held Yuan Ge'er in her arms and stared at Xian Jie'er and said.

Several maids around carefully protected Sister Xian as she got off the carriage.

"It's such a pity that Minglan can't come. I wonder if Tingye will be disappointed."

"Madam, no, if the Second Master knew that the Second Madam was about to give birth, I don't know how excited he would be."

"Haha, that's true."

Shao Xueyan spoke a few words to the maid beside her, and seeing that the people around her had returned to the city one after another, she got into the carriage and went back slowly.

Zhao Zongquan returned to the palace with civil and military ministers, and came to the imperial study with several husbands, Gu Tingyu and others.

"Prince, tell me the details of the battle in Zhuozhou. The memorial is not very clear."

"Yes, this is what happened..."

Zhao Zongquan nodded with satisfaction as he listened. Thinking of the memorial in which Prince Huan Zhao Yingce expressed his optimism towards Gu Tingyu and Gu Tingye, he made a firm decision in his heart.

"Well, not bad, Ningyuan Hou, you have lived up to your father's expectations. Tingye is also good."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two brothers Gu Tingyu and Gu Tingye stood up and thanked them respectfully.

Zhao Zongquan waved his hand and asked the two to sit down. Then he asked in detail about the border affairs and the situation of the Liao army, and his face became serious.

Several men looked at this scene, made some guesses in their minds, and looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, we still need stability now."

"Yes, I know, you gentlemen don't have to worry."

Zhao Zongquan certainly knew what his ministers were thinking, but he didn't say much. What was needed now was stability, but the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were also the concern of successive emperors of the Song Dynasty, and they had to be resolved.

Zhao Zongquan didn't talk about Zhuozhou anymore. He just talked about family matters with a few people until noon.

The palace prepared a banquet as a reward for Gu Tingyu and others.

Gu Tingyu and others also enjoyed the meal very much. After all, this was a favor from His Majesty, so of course it had to be given.

The palace banquet was not completely over until three o'clock in the afternoon. Although Zhao Zongquan had some thoughts in his mind, he did not speak them out in a hurry and directly let Gu Tingyu and others go back.

After saying goodbye to the Duke of Yingguo and others at the palace gate, Gu Tingyu and Gu Tingye rode their horses directly to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.

"Brother, we won't be away for long this time, only a few months, but I miss home more than when I was studying before."

"Haha, Tingye, are you missing home or Minglan?"

Gu Tingye looked at Gu Tingyu's teasing expression and his face couldn't help but turn red.

"Brother, don't you miss your sister-in-law and the children? If so, I have to talk to my sister-in-law."

"Well, you little brat, you actually dare to threaten my brother."

"Hahaha, big brother, I'm the commander of the cavalry, how could I let you hit me?"

After Gu Tingye finished speaking, he rode out on his horse, so of course he didn't hit Gu Tingyu.

The two of them chatted and laughed and soon arrived at the gate of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

"My Lord, the Second Master is back."

The doorman heard the sound of horse hooves outside, stuck his head out and saw that it was Gu Tingyu and the other man, and immediately shouted towards the mansion.

By the time the two stopped at the door, everyone in the mansion had come out.

"My husband, you are finally back."

"Okay, am I back now?"

Gu Tingyu looked at Shao Xueyan's red eyes, touched her face gently, and comforted her softly.

"Mom, please move aside. I want Dad to hold me."

"Oh, my sister Xian, do you miss your father?"

Gu Tingyu looked at Sister Xian's small body and kept pushing Shao Xueyan, who gave way with a helpless look on her face.

Sister Xian finally leaned into Gu Tingyu's arms with a satisfied look on her face, nodding her head pitifully.

"Sister Xian misses her father."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, Yuan'er, come here and let daddy hug you."

Gu Tingyu laughed happily, looked at Yuan Ge'er who was hugging Shao Xueyan's thigh with envy, squatted down and waved.

"Dad, Yuan Ge'er misses you."

Yuan Ge'er was still a steady person. When he was hugged by Gu Tingyu, he smiled happily and spoke to him in a low voice.

While the family was being intimate, Gu Tingye's face was also full of smiles.

Minglan's belly was now very big, so she came out a little slowly. Just as she was being helped out by the maid, Gu Tingye trotted over.

"Ouch, be careful, be careful."

While supporting Minglan, Gu Tingye touched Minglan's belly with some trembling, his eyes red.

"It's okay, don't worry. My sister-in-law often asks the doctor to come and check. Don't make such a fuss."

"Well, good. Thank you for your hard work these past few months."

When Minglan heard Gu Tingye's trembling words, a slight smile appeared on her face.
