that brother is mine

Two days later, the army arrived in the capital, and the soldiers who had been conscripted received silver taels and could go back to their hometown on their own, while high-ranking soldiers could enter the palace that night to participate in the celebration banquet hosted by the emperor.

This is a large-scale celebration banquet. Officials and ministers will naturally come, and the wives of the family can also accompany them. If they are young brothers and women who are not married, they can come. There will be a huge number of people. Soldiers take the wind and wash away the dust, and they want to find a wife for them.

The turbulent life of more than three years has given Mingxuan Kingdom a lot of fun, and every household has closed their doors to thank guests, so there is no way to care about getting married. Therefore, after learning that there are many soldiers and soldiers who have passed the age of marriage at the border, the emperor had a whim, I just want to reward those soldiers who won the battle for him, that is, find a wife or husband for them.

Liu Meng is a hussar general appointed by the emperor himself, so he naturally wanted to attend the celebration banquet, and Ye Jin also wanted to attend, nothing else, because he was titled the world's number one loyal brother, and the emperor learned that he is now He didn't have a family, so he deliberately let him enter the palace because he wanted to find a good family for this loyal brother who always offered food at critical moments.

The celebration banquet was held after the sun had set, but everyone entered the palace after noon, because it was hosted by the emperor, so it was appropriate to arrive earlier.

The ministers who arrived first would go to the main hall to gather, while the accompanying family members would go to the imperial garden first, enjoying the flowers and laughing, on the one hand, and on the other hand, they wanted to build a good relationship or ask for more gossip.

Ye Jin came with Mrs. Mu and the others. He took Xiaobao and Mrs. Mu to the Royal Garden to find Ling Yu, and then the three of them took their children and chatted aside, not participating in the gossip of those noble ladies. Some came over to say hello, and they also responded with smiles on their faces. Generally speaking, they were quite happy.

Ye Lin would not miss such a big banquet as the celebration banquet. Hua's mother didn't want her to follow, but Ye Lin disagreed, and she was soft-hearted at Hua Qingfeng's. Her mother's wishes brought her into the palace. The family members were all in the imperial garden, and Ye Lin naturally followed Hua's mother. Because of the Jinxiufang incident three years ago, all the dignitaries in the capital were very fond of Ye Lin. I hated her, so no one made friends with her, so Ye Lin didn't have any friends, and she was all alone in the Royal Garden, so pitiful.

Looking around from the corner of the eye, seeing Ye Jin chatting and laughing with some noble ladies, Ye Lin was so angry that she wanted to go up to trouble Ye Jin, but when she met Ye Jin's ignoring eyes, she just remembered, three Years ago, they were already severed by Ye Jin, and there was absolutely no reason to go to Ye Jin now. Looking at Ye Jin with a smile on her face, Ye Lin wanted to say something but couldn't, for fear of offending the lady beside her, so she could only Holding the handkerchief secretly, the eyes that looked at Ye Jin were full of hatred.

Ye Jin also saw Ye Lin, but he didn't care about it. He had made it clear three years ago that he didn't need to care about Ye Lin anymore, and he couldn't pretend that the evil things Ye Lin did to him didn't happen. Based on those things, he didn't need to talk to Ye Lin.

The time was spent joking, the sun was setting, the celebration banquet was about to begin, everyone was heading towards the main hall, the seats had been arranged properly, the adults with high official positions were in front, and those with low official positions were behind, and Ye Jin because of With the reputation of loyal brother, his position is in the middle, neither up nor down, which suits him quite well.

Watching Ye Jin all the time, seeing that Ye Jin's position was not as close as her own, Ye Lin finally felt that she had moved back to a game, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, but Ye Jin didn't care about her pride.

After all the people in the hall were seated, the emperor and empress arrived slowly, everyone kowtowed, the emperor shouted, and the whole celebration banquet just started.

The first thing was to commend the soldiers of the frontier. The general of the border naturally contributed a lot. The emperor directly rewarded a thousand taels of gold. Although these were just money, the general was happy to accept them. The next few soldiers were either promoted or rewarded. Although it is not as much as the generals, it is still a lot for them, not to mention that it is a reward from the emperor, which is more important than anything else.

"General Hussars, step forward." The emperor said slowly.

Liu Meng, who was named, stepped out of his seat and kowtowed to the emperor: "See the emperor."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Meng responded, and then stood up. Ever since he met Ye Jin, he has returned to his previous son. If he didn't really know that he went to war, and even became a general of hussars, he would probably have been killed. It is doubtful whether he has stayed at the border or not.

Looking at Liu Meng's dignified appearance, the emperor nodded in satisfaction, "I heard that my hussar general killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield, and seeing him today is really extraordinary. I paid for joining the army with money, why did you suddenly join the army, this really puzzles me, Liu Meng, why are you?"

Perhaps the emperor was very happy that a brave soldier was killed at the border, so the emperor was very curious when he saw Liu Meng's record written on the booklet handed over by the general, and even investigated Liu Meng, and learned that Liu Meng was He was very puzzled about joining the army on the way, so he met Liu Meng today and asked the doubts in his heart.

As if he didn't expect the emperor to ask about this matter, Liu Meng was slightly taken aback, and then he said: "Go back to the emperor, I just want fame."

"Oh, why do you want fame?" The emperor said with a smile, with the attitude of not giving up until he got the answer he wanted from Liu Meng.

Glancing at Ye Jin in a blink of an eye, Liu Meng then said again: "Going back to the emperor, the ministers are not good, you can only come from the martial arts, and the martial arts championship is too time-consuming, so I went to the border. Just killing the enemy's head is enough to go to the border." If there are many, then you can have military merits, for one person, I want to get great military merits as soon as possible."

At the end of the sentence, Liu Meng glanced at Ye Jin again, Ye Jin's cheeks were reddened by the tenderness in his eyes, and he couldn't help turning his head away.

Liu Meng didn't intend to hide that little action at all, so not only the emperor, but everyone in the hall noticed the way he looked at Ye Jin, with that tender look, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he and Ye Jin were having trouble.

"For one person? It can't be my loyal brother." The emperor said with a smile, then he looked at Ye Jin and called out, "Where is the loyal brother?"

His cheeks were flushed by Liu Meng's gaze, and Ye Jin subconsciously shrank back. He just wanted to stay there quietly, but he didn't want to be called by the emperor suddenly, so he couldn't hide now.

Walking a few steps to the center of the hall, and saluted the emperor, Ye Jin said: "Go back to the emperor, the grass people are here."

The emperor waved his hand, making Ye Jin stand up, then he looked at Liu Meng, then at Ye Jin, and said with a smile on his face: "General Hussar has a good eye, Brother Yiqi is not only good-looking, but also a good-looking man. It’s very generous, but food and grass have been lost several times at the border, all of which are selfless dedications of brother Yiyi, I admire you very much, Ye Jin, you deserve this word of loyalty.”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, Ye Lin, who was sitting next to Hua Qingfeng, snorted coldly before all the ministers agreed, "Hmph, that's really nice to say, and you're so loyal, bro, how can he be so generous? Donating food at the border is not because Liu Meng is at the border, so how can he deserve the word loyalty, bah."

Ye Lin is arrogant and small-minded, she can't see others living better than her, she was shocked when she saw that Liu Meng was a Hussar general, her eyes were full of disbelief, she didn't believe that Liu Meng was the son of a landlord She can go to the border to fight, and she doesn't believe that Liu Meng can earn military merits on the border, and she doesn't believe that Liu Meng is a general of the hussars, because she knows that the rank of the general of the hussars is not low, even higher than her husband's. They leaned forward, and she was angry and resentful. She didn't believe that Liu Meng, who had left her, had a better life than her. She didn't believe it, and she didn't want to accept it.

The fact that Liu Meng was the Hussar General was a big blow to Ye Lin, and now she saw that Ye Jin was such a loyal brother personally appointed by the emperor, she was even more angry, and in her eyes, Ye Jin was just incomparable She is living well, because she is the treasure of the Ye family, and because the Ye family treats her well, she is about to fly to the sky, so she thinks everyone should let her, and everyone should treat her Well, that's pretty opinionated.

It was Ye Lin's self-righteousness that made her not pay attention to the self-consciousness in front of her at all. She didn't like Ye Jin in her heart, and subconsciously denied Ye Jin when others praised Ye Jin, but this was not her at home. She caused trouble.

What Ye Lin said was sudden, and none of the ministers echoed it. It was very quiet at that time, so even if her voice was not loud, everyone in the hall could still hear a slight sound, and the emperor on the main seat did not. Accident.

No one has ever dared to refute the emperor's meaning. Ye Lin's voice at this time made the emperor very displeased. He slapped the table with his big hand, and then cast his cold eyes on everyone in the next seat. He said coldly: " Who is making noise?"

The hall was so quiet that it was as if a needle could be heard clearly. The emperor's words fell into everyone's ears, and they were inexplicably shocking.

As soon as the words fell, before everyone could look at them, Hua Shangshu and Hua Qingfeng dragged Ye Lin to the center of the hall and knelt down in a hurry.

"Back, back to the emperor, she is the daughter-in-law of the minister, a woman from the countryside, who doesn't understand the rules, offends the emperor, and asks the emperor to forgive her..."

"Back, back to the emperor, it's the wife of the minister, a woman from the countryside, who doesn't understand the rules, and asks the emperor to forgive me..."

Hua Qingfeng and his father pleaded guilty to the emperor together. Feeling the cold gaze of the emperor, the two of them broke out in cold sweat and trembled all over. However, Ye Lin, who was dragged out, knew that a catastrophe had been caused. Sticking to the ground, I dare not lift it up, for fear of causing trouble again.

Looking at the few people below, the emperor was even more displeased. He glanced at Ye Lin who was trembling with fear, and said coldly: "Can people from the countryside be like this? Where is this hall? Is that how you teach it?"

When the emperor got angry, everyone was terrified. Hua Qingfeng and his father were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak again, for fear of making the emperor even more unhappy and losing their lives.

Glancing coldly at Ye Lin, the emperor said coldly, "What did you just say? Say it again?"

He didn't specify who it was, but everyone in the hall knew that the emperor was talking about Ye Lin, but Ye Lin was already terrified by the situation, and she absolutely didn't dare to speak again.

Dare to ignore the emperor's words, which would only make the emperor even more furious. Immediately, one emperor threw a cup at a time, hitting Hua Qingfeng's forehead, and his forehead was immediately bruised.

"Are you dumb? Tell me." The emperor said in a deep voice.

Afraid of being angered again, Hua Qingfeng secretly reached out and pulled Ye Lin's sleeve, signaling her to speak quickly.

Ye Lin was really frightened, she clenched her hands tightly, stumbling in fear: "Back to the emperor, my wife just said that Ye Jin is not loyal, yes, she will donate food because Liu Meng is here, Ye Jin likes Liu Meng, before they Married..."

Ye Lin stumbled as she spoke, thinking that it was because of Ye Jin that she would be like this at this time, she immediately hated Ye Jin, and she didn't care about anything while talking about Ye Jin and Liu Meng's entanglement. She thought, even if she is having a hard time, then Ye Jin shouldn't have a better time. He was married and donated food because of Liu Meng. She felt that Ye Jin could make the emperor angry with these two points alone.

However, Ye Lin's ideas came to nothing in the end. The emperor felt that it was wrong for Ye Jin to donate food selflessly without asking for anything in return. He was afraid that Ye Jin might have some bad intentions. After asking Ye Jin a few times, Ye Jin only said yes People from Mingxuan Kingdom should do things for Mingxuan Kingdom, so they donated food, which made the emperor feel uneasy. Now that he heard about Ye Jin and Liu Meng, he just felt relieved. Sure enough, people don’t ask for nothing. Ye Jin It was only because of Liu Meng that he would donate food, and Liu Meng was his courtier. As long as these people had requests and weaknesses, it would be easy to control them, and the emperor was in a good mood immediately.

Looking up at Liu Meng and Ye Jin, thinking of their little actions before, the emperor immediately asked: "General Hussar, Brother Yiqi, what she said is true, have you two been married before?"

Knowing that Ye Lin had bad intentions in telling the story, Ye Jin was also afraid that the emperor would be angry, so his face turned pale. Now when he heard the emperor's question, he hesitated for a moment before answering, "Back to the emperor, before Liu Meng and I It is true that they were married, but they have divorced."

As soon as the word "heli" was uttered, everyone's faces were not good-looking. After all, "heli" is not a good thing, and when "heli" was mentioned, Liu Meng's face turned even worse.

"Back to the emperor, Brother Jin and I did reconcile, but it was forced, and it is precisely because of this that I joined the army to earn fame and become an official. After all, some people feel that they have some power. Everything is her biggest thing, I was forced to reconcile once, and I don't want to be forced to reconcile twice." Liu Meng said in a deep voice.

If Ye Lin hadn't revealed the past between him and Ye Jin with bad intentions at this time, then Liu Meng wanted to let her go, but Ye Lin is not a good person, and she obviously wanted to make the emperor angry with Ye Jin by saying those things at this time , He will not let anyone who treats Ye Jin badly.

What Liu Meng said did not specify what it was, but everyone in the hall knew that something was going on, forced to reconcile?If you don't have any power, how can you force people to reconcile? It is obvious that someone is using their power to force the couple to reconcile. At this time, Liu Meng is planning to settle old scores.

"Forced to reconcile? Liu Meng, what's going on? Tell me one by one." The emperor asked coldly. Renheli, do you still think of him as the emperor?In the entire Mingxuan Kingdom, only he, the emperor, has the right to do that, and all the people in the world belong to him, the emperor.

Liu Meng cast a cold glance at Ye Lin, that cold side-bone glance made Ye Lin shiver coldly.

"Back to the emperor, she is Hua Shangshu's daughter-in-law. She was originally Brother Jin's sister. She had a marriage contract with me, but suddenly escaped from marriage. She even married Hua Shilang in the capital. I think she is Brother Jin's sister." I didn't want to care about it, but she returned home suddenly and forced me to make up with Brother Jin. I love Brother Jin and I don't want to leave him at all. But Ye Lin asked Master Qin, the official of Yunluo Town, to let Qin The lord forced us to reconcile, we resisted, Ye Lin used Hua Shangshu to talk about things, Master Qin was snobbish, forced brother Jin and me, and even ignored the guards of Liu's mansion sent by my brother... ..."

As Liu Meng stated, he looked at Ye Jin in a blink of an eye, and seeing Ye Jin also looking at him, he smiled and said, "It's because of their power and oppression that I went to the border to join the army, and that's why I want fame and official positions. I don’t want to be forced by them, now that I’m better than them, even if he wants to force him, he can’t.”

Walking in front of Ye Jin in a few steps, Liu Meng looked at Ye Jin affectionately, and said softly: "Brother Jin, you don't have to be afraid of Ye Lin anymore, even if Hua Shangshu personally takes action, he can't control me, really. I really like you, Brother Jin, I was wrong in many things before, but I always wanted to make up for you, can you forgive me? Marry me again, okay, I can’t live without you, Brother Jin. "

Liu Meng said tenderly, Ye Jin was taken aback by that voice, he watched Liu Meng suddenly take out a bouquet of flowers and handed him to him waiting for his reply, Ye Jin blushed shyly, the bouquet of flowers Not to mention accepting it, and not accepting it, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and get in now.

Little Treasure ran out at some point, holding a bunch of small flowers that he got somewhere in his hand, and he handed it to Ye Jin at this time, he said, "Ah, Dad and I can't do without you, marry me Daddy, eh, marry daddy, eh..."

The little man's voice resounded throughout the hall, and Ye Jin's face flushed with embarrassment. He didn't know when Liu Meng, who had only played with Xiaobao for two days, bought Xiaobao. Let Xiaobao speak for him, the little man looked at his pitiful appearance with wide eyes, as if Ye Jin refused to agree to marry Liu Meng, what was the big thing that made him wronged, Ye Jin couldn't laugh or cry , and Xiaobao's voice of persuading Ye Jin to marry Liu Meng continued, and there was a posture that Ye Jin would keep talking if Ye Jin refused to agree to him.

Originally still in love with Liu Meng, Ye Jin had no intention of remarrying after divorce, and he still had Xiaobao, how could he ignore Xiaobao's feelings, more than three years have passed, Ye Jin has seen many things , he feels that people are fragile, and there are not so many three years in life to squander. Since you are still in love, you don't have to think too much. He wants to follow his own heart, and he thought about it before meeting him. If he gets married, he will remarry.

Looking at the big one and the small one in front of him, watching Liu Meng's true confession to him, and seeing Liu Meng's bouquet of flowers proposing to him, Ye Jin reached out to take it, and said slowly: "Okay."

The sudden marriage proposal in the main hall shocked everyone, making many people dumbfounded, but only a few people were happy for Liu Meng and Ye Jin, Brother Liu's family, Brother Mu's family, and Mu Liancheng, God knows Mu Liancheng Cheng is so happy. When Liu Meng asked him how to propose to Ye Jin, he was taken aback for a moment, and then jumped with joy. It took him a whole day to think about this proposal with a bouquet of flowers. Now seeing Ye Jin Sure enough, Jin agreed, and immediately felt that this idea was very good, and he also planned to propose marriage in the same way in the future.

The emperor was also taken aback by Liu Meng's sudden marriage proposal, and after witnessing the marriage proposal with his own eyes, he laughed and waved his hand and said: "General Hussar and Brother Yiqi really have a deep affection, I really appreciate it." Congratulations, I give you a mansion in the west of the capital, a thousand taels of silver, and a hundred bolts of silk...to be married on a good day and auspicious day."

The emperor made a decree, and everyone shouted the emperor's sage for a while, and then congratulated Liu Meng and Ye Jin. Now that the emperor bestowed a marriage, even if others tried to force them to leave, Liu Meng was very happy, and immediately Pulling Ye Jin to thank the emperor.

As soon as the happy event was over, the emperor's face suddenly turned cold, and the eyes that looked at Hua Qingfeng's family turned cold for a while, "Hua Shangshu has no virtue and incompetence. He connived at the wife of the family to use power for personal gain. His crime should be punished, but there is merit in reading it. Capital crimes can be avoided, and life crimes cannot be forgiven, and all positions of Hua Shangshu and Hua Shilang will be removed, and they will be demoted to common people, and they will leave Beijing at a certain date.

"Emperor, Your Majesty..." No one expected the emperor to be so terrified this time. Hua Qingfeng and others were so shocked that they lost their souls. They wanted to ask the emperor to forgive them, but they still didn't know how to say those words.

Not wanting to look at them again, seeing Hua Qingfeng and the others lost their souls and wanted to speak again, the emperor waved his hand and said coldly: "Pull it down."

As soon as the words fell, a small group of guards guarding outside the main hall walked in. Regardless of the struggle of Hua Qingfeng and the others, they dragged Hua Qingfeng and the others out of the main hall, and the main hall returned to its previous silence.

The emperor is the most suspicious in the world, and he is even more afraid of his subordinates taking power. Now that he knows that someone is bullying others arrogantly, how can the emperor let them go, no matter whether it is true or not, the emperor will never let them go.

After a good show, everyone was not in the mood to watch the singing and dancing again. After a while, the emperor was tired and left, and the ministers did not stay any longer, and then they also left. This is the end of the celebration banquet. It seems that the little brother of the woman who saw him was in vain, no, it can't be said that it was in vain, it was also a good show.

However, after the celebration banquet, Liu Meng and Ye Jin became famous. There was no one in the entire capital who didn't know Liu Meng who proposed at the celebration banquet, and no one who didn't know the loyal brother Ye Jin who nodded and agreed. So, they The marriage has attracted the attention of many people.
