After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Although General Xiao is over fifty years old, he is still strong and healthy. He never feels tired after fighting on the battlefield all day. All the soldiers in his army have the same strong willpower as him, which is why he was able to defeat the larger army with a smaller one and repel the southern Xinjiang army.

His eyebrows were knitted into the shape of the Chinese character "川", his face was full of traces of time, and his skin was dry and yellowish brown due to the wind and sun on the border.

Behind him, on both sides, also riding on Xiliang black horses were the two young masters of the Xiao family.

On the left is the eldest son, Xiao Jianting. He is also wearing armor, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a long sword on his waist, an upright posture, and a domineering aura.

The one on the right is the second son, Xiao Helin. Obviously different from his elder brother, he gives people a very gentle feeling. Although he grew up in a military camp and fought on the battlefield, he has handsome eyebrows and a smile on his face.

Behind the two young masters is the third daughter of the Xiao family, Xiao Yunzheng.

Xiao Yunzheng has a heroic appearance, with her ponytail tied up high, and a red tight-fitting outfit with narrow sleeves and a waist. She holds a long whip in her hand, with a smile on her face, and looks towards the city gate with great excitement.

The people were very excited and started to crowd forward again.

The Lin Guards could no longer stop them.

Zhihua was equally excited, but her screams were drowned out by the crowd and seemed insignificant.

"Miss!" Zhihua pulled Nian Susu's arm back and forth, "Did you see that? The two young masters of the Xiao family are so handsome! Miss Xiao is so handsome too!"

It turns out that being handsome is a feeling, not a gender.

Nian Susu nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Miss Xiao has the demeanor of General Xiao, worthy of being the descendant of a general."

As for the two young masters of the Xiao family, Nian Susu felt that their looks were definitely not as good as Qin Junyu and Qin Guanqing, but they were also handsome.

But they are heroes after all, and everyone has a certain filter for them, so it is inevitable that girls will be moved by them.

There were already many voices around saying, "Master Xiao is so impressive! He is just as imposing as General Zhenyuan!"

"Mr. Xiao Er is younger than Mr. Xiao, and his temperament is a little less calm, but he is also very manly!"

"If it weren't for the general's family, the people of Southern Xinjiang might have already reached Shengjing! The Xiao family are all heroes!"

The praises were endless.

As the troops gradually approached the city gate, the people were surprisingly quiet. Perhaps they were shocked by the army's momentum. They stared blankly at General Xiao, who was in the lead, with admiration in their eyes.

The army was not allowed to enter the capital. General Xiao and his three children rode into the city gate on horseback, while the rest of the people set up camp outside the city. After the general reported his duties to the emperor, they would each receive their reward and go home to visit their families and celebrate the New Year.

Qin Junyu greeted him with a smile and chatted with General Xiao. The two young masters of the Xiao family seemed to have a good relationship with him and also said a few words to him.

The group walked in, chatting and laughing.

Whenever the people greeted General Xiao, he would respond with a friendly smile, and everyone liked this great general even more.

He is a mighty general outside, yet so friendly and humble in private. Who can not admire him?

Seeing that their brothers kept talking to Qin Junyu without giving him a chance to say hello, Xiao Yunzheng anxiously twisted the arm of her second brother, Xiao Helin, and cursed him in a low voice, "You are so disloyal! You have been chatting for so long, shouldn't you let me say a few words?"

Xiao Helin gasped in pain, and the two people next to him looked towards them at the same time.

Xiao Helin immediately pushed his younger sister out, switched seats with her, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, my younger sister wants to talk to you."

They had been playing together for six or seven years and had a very good relationship. They spoke to each other without being polite. At that time, Qin Junyu was not yet the crown prince, and he was the oldest among them, so they privately called him Brother Yu. Xiao Jianting was a few years younger than him, so they called him A Yu, and it is still the same now.

Xiao Yunzheng blushed and wanted to scold him, but when she found Qin Junyu was looking at her, she withdrew her hand. After all, she still had to maintain her image.

She smiled and asked, "Brother Yu, how have you been these years?"

"pretty good."

"Oh... then, has the emperor arranged a marriage for you with any girl?"

Qin Junyu paused.

If he said no, Xiao Yunzheng would definitely misunderstand that he was waiting for her and would launch a fierce offensive again.

If he says no, he's lying.

Qin Junyu didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Xiao Helin immediately followed up her words: "Who would ask if you are engaged as soon as they meet? You are a girl, so be reserved!"

Xiao Yunzheng waved the whip in her hand towards him, her eyes full of threats. He immediately became timid and ran behind Xiao Jianting.

Although they are both brothers, the younger sister is not afraid of him at all. Instead, she obeys the eldest brother's orders. She dares not go west when the eldest brother points east, and never goes back on his word. Xiao Helin feels very unbalanced.

Although he was also quite afraid of his elder brother, this fear was not because his elder brother was so fierce, but rather a kind of blood suppression.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Jianting spoke, Xiao Yunzheng immediately became obedient.

"Little sister, we just returned to Beijing. We'll have plenty of time to ask you about these things later. Please don't make things difficult for A Yu." Xiao Jianting's voice was just like his personality, deep and rich.

"Oh..." Xiao Yunzheng shut up angrily.

Qin Junyu gave Xiao Jianting a look of gratitude, and the latter nodded, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.

After walking halfway down the street, everyone was still in high spirits.

General Xiao was busy interacting with the crowd in the front and had no time to pay attention to the people behind him. They were also happy and relaxed, and they could take the opportunity to catch up.

When Xiao Yunzheng was talking about an embarrassing childhood event, Qin Junyu looked up and saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

There was a crowd of people, and their eyes were all on each other, staring at each other for a long time.

How could she come?

Qin Junyu subconsciously looked at Xiao Yunzheng who was talking excitedly beside him, and felt inexplicably guilty.

Nian Susu smiled brightly and waved at him. It seemed that she really had no other emotions.

Qin Junyu suddenly felt that he was sorry for her and thought too little of her.

There were too many people and it was difficult for them to say hello. Qin Junyu just smiled at her and continued walking forward, gradually getting farther and farther away.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally went to the city gate to welcome General Xiao back to the palace, which shows how much the Emperor values ​​the general. This is also an honor for the Xiao family.

After the crowd dispersed, Nian Susu and Zhihua also returned home.

East wing courtyard.

Nian Susu guessed that the emperor would hold a welcoming banquet to welcome back Liuli's great contributor.

As a result, the person arrived in the morning and the invitation was delivered in the afternoon. The emperor was well prepared.

Nian Susu was caught off guard. He thought it would take a few days, but he didn't expect it to be so urgent.

She guessed that because it was near the end of the year, the emperor wanted to finish things as soon as possible and focus all his attention on the Spring Festival, so he hurried to hold the welcoming banquet today.

In the evening, Nian Susu went to the palace for a banquet with Nian Chengyun, and Nian Qiaoyue also went with them.

Ever since Nian Qiaoyue suggested inviting Xia Dingxiang's tablet into the ancestral hall and Nian Chengyun refused, Nian Chengyun has paid more attention to his daughter and would agree to any request as long as it was not too excessive.

For example, this time, Nian Qiaoyue asked to go together, and Nian Chengyun did not refuse.
