In the years of famine, in troubled times, the koi sweet wife is omnipotent

Gu Huaijin raised his eyes to look at him and said word by word, "A wife of humble origins should not be despised. Even if she is not good, I cannot abandon her after rising to prominence. If everyone does this, there will be no true love in the world, and there will be no human heart. Princess Chang'an is very good, but I only have one wife in my heart. Even if it means disobeying the emperor's order, I cannot marry Princess Chang'an.

"I married secretly in the barracks before because I was afraid of making too many enemies and bringing disaster upon her and her family. Now that I have returned victorious, I only wish to be with her forever and live a peaceful and stable life."

He was determined not to marry Princess Chang'an no matter what the outcome was.

The emperor knew that if the stalemate continued, it would lead to a stalemate, so he said, "Since Gu Aiqing loves his wife so much, I will withdraw the imperial decree. You are right. If everyone abandons their wives after achieving success, it would be inhumane."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Huaijin said thank you gratefully and finally felt relieved.

"My dear, please get up."

Seeing that he was still kneeling, the emperor quickly signaled him to get up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Huaijin stood up and recounted the recent war situation. "The seven kingdoms are now basically stable. We haven't harmed any of our citizens. Now we just need to make some reforms. In the future, Jin will surely become the superpower of this continent."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction and then added another reward, "General Gu has made great contributions, and I will reward him with another ten thousand taels of gold. I will also make his wife the First Lady."

"Deputy General Zhou! Detachment General Chen has assisted General Gu in resisting the enemy and conquering the Seven Kingdoms. He is specially appointed Marshal, rewarded with ten thousand years of gold, one hundred acres of fertile land, and a Marshal's Mansion."

After the emperor rewarded Gu Huaijin, he looked at Zhou Yi and Chen Xin standing on his left and right and gave them rewards.

Zhou Yi and Chen Xin smiled happily and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Prince Jin has also made great contributions in resisting the enemy over the years, and he has been appointed as the Regent and rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold."

The emperor knew that the Prince of Jin had made many contributions to the State of Jin over the years and repelled many enemies, so he appointed him as regent.

"Minister! Thank you, Your Majesty."

Prince Jin did not expect that he would be named regent today.

In the past, my royal brother was more or less wary of me, but now it seems that he has really dispelled all his suspicions.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

After Eunuch Xu finished speaking, everyone left the court after having nothing else to say.

Gu Huaijin took Zhou Yi and Chen Xin and rushed to Fengya Tower to meet Xia Wanwan.

After everyone had left, the Prince of Jin looked at the Emperor and jokingly said, "Royal brother! I told you that General Gu wasn't the vain type, but you insisted on testing his love for me. Fortunately, you restrained yourself quickly, otherwise you would have shot yourself in the foot and wouldn't know how to step down from this position."

"Cough cough~"

The emperor was embarrassed and coughed twice in fake embarrassment. "I just want to see how much he loves my little sister. Although General Gu has countless military achievements and is a great hero of the Jin State, my little sister is also a treasure in our hands. If she can't find a man who truly loves her, I will also feel distressed."

"Let's go! My younger sister is still waiting for us at Fengya Tower. General Gu has already left, so we need to hurry over."

Prince Jin thought about the welcome party he would have to hold for Gu Huaijin later, so he urged.

"Okay, I'll go call the Queen now. She's waiting for me in the Imperial Study."

The emperor saw that it was getting late and knew that he could not delay any longer.

The reason why there was no special banquet to welcome Gu Huaijin was because Xia Wanwan had already prepared a family dinner to welcome him at Chunhua Tower.

Half an hour later, Gu Huaijin arrived at the private room number one in Chunhua Tower. As soon as he opened the door, the three children saw him and immediately hugged him, calling out, "Daddy! We missed you so much."

"Daddy misses you too."

Gu Huaijin held the three children in his arms and kissed their faces lovingly.

"Hello, brother-in-law."

When Xia Jinchen saw him, he took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

My brother-in-law is so handsome and good-looking!

"Are you Jinchen?"

When Gu Huaijin saw him, he recognized him as Xia Wanwan's younger brother at a glance.

"it's me."

Xia Jinchen looked at him in his battle uniform and nodded with admiration.

"Husband! This is my father, this is my mother, and this is my sister Qingqing."

Xia Wanwan walked over, took his hand, and introduced him to her parents.

"Mom and Dad! Hello."

Gu Huaijin nodded respectfully to them, then looked at his mother sitting beside him and called out with a choked voice, "Mom! I'm back."

"It'll be good if you come back, it'll be good if you come back."

Tang Guifang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She finally didn't have to worry about these frightening days anymore.

"elder brother!"

"Uncle!"

Gu Baozhu and Zhao Ziyang saw him and stood up and called out.

"Huai Jin! You won't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy again, right?"

As soon as Gu Huaijin sat down, Shen Shuyu asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Mom! The situation has stabilized now. I'll leave the rest to the court. I won't leave unless there are still countries that are determined to attack Jin again."

Gu Huaijin knew that Xia Wanwan called her parents Dad and Mom, so he also followed the Chinese custom and called the two elders Mom and Dad.

"That's good."

After hearing what he said, Shen Shuyu felt relieved instantly.

"Brother-in-law! You're even more handsome than the celebrities on Chinese TV. God, with a man as handsome as you, I'm afraid my future husband won't be able to stand up to you."

Xia Qingqing looked at Gu Huaijin, who was so handsome that it infuriated everyone, and suddenly felt that all the handsome guys she had seen were just passing clouds.

"Hahaha!"

As soon as she said this, everyone burst into laughter.

"Zhou Yi and Chen Xin! What are you doing standing outside? Come in and sit down to eat."

Seeing Zhou Yi and Chen Xin still standing outside the door, Gu Huaijin quickly called them in to sit down.

"Yes, General!"

Zhou Yi and Chen Xin then walked in and found a place to sit down.

The moment Xia Qingqing saw Zhou Yi come in, her eyes lit up instantly.

This, this, this, isn’t this the prince charming in her dreams?

Although he is not as handsome as my brother-in-law, sometimes, my heart is moved in an instant.

Zhou Yi happened to be sitting next to her. Seeing her staring at him, his handsome face flushed red and he hurriedly greeted her, "Hello, Miss Xia!"

"Hello."

Xia Qingqing also greeted with a smile.

Seeing that everyone was seated, but there were still three empty chairs right above, Gu Huaijin asked, "Madam! Is there anyone else who hasn't arrived? I see three seats are unoccupied."

It's strange. Logically, parents are the eldest and they should sit at the top.

Even if there are guests, the main seat should not be reserved.

"General Gu! These three positions are of course reserved for the three of us."

Just as he was wondering, the emperor's voice suddenly sounded at the door.

When Gu Huaijin looked up, he saw him coming in holding the Queen's hand, with the Regent beside him.

"Your Majesty? You..."

Gu Huaijin looked at the three people in shock.

They never thought that the seat Xia Wanwan reserved was actually given to the three of them.
