A gentle breeze blew, causing a few leaves to fall. In the darkness of night, Qin Xiao's black figure seemed somewhat lonely and desolate. Romance novels updated first at 151+ Reading Network.
The next morning, all the citizens of Fenghuang City came out three miles outside the city, with smiles on their faces. The civil and military officials stood in front of the people, dressed neatly. Feng Changqing and Lan Fei sat at the very front, such a grand scene, only Anbang Wang Ziyu would have received such treatment.
Ziyan and his group were now approaching Fenghuang
The city has already seen such a magnificent scene.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has led all the civil and military officials to welcome you in front. This is a grand occasion." Kong Qing was very satisfied with this scene, although he had seen it many times before, but every time he felt that it wasn't enough, especially when sitting on horseback looking down at Qin Xiao, that feeling, was truly indescribably refreshing.
Beside him, Ju Dan shook his head, never thought that after following the king to fight for many years, Kong Qing still had a child's mentality, it was really incomprehensible how this guy did it. However, such a magnificent scene only the king would have, when he first followed the king, he was shocked by the king's aura.
Feng Changqing sent away the people who had come to report, walked down from the golden dragon sedan chair, and looked at the approaching Zi Yun and his party. A smile spread across his face, which was even more handsome under the sunlight.
Zi Yun stopped a hundred meters away from Feng Changqing, dismounted and changed into a red official robe with golden threads embroidered with auspicious clouds that shone brightly in the sunlight, looking very noble, and together with his handsome face, it was even more pleasing to the eye.
Among the common people, there are naturally unmarried women who see that the emperor has a beautiful and elegant Empress Lan by his side. They know they have no chance with him, but King Anbang is different. He has been on many military campaigns and although it's said he has over 20 family members in the manor, he doesn't dote on just one person like the emperor does. Instead, he treats them fairly. Everyone knows that King Anbang treats his concubines well, so naturally everyone wants to win his favor. Therefore, they all wear heavy makeup and are extremely beautiful.
All the officials see Ziyuan approaching, and they all kneel down, shouting "We welcome King Anbang's triumphant return, long live King Anbang for thousands of years."
Zi Yun ignored the officials' kneeling and walked towards Feng Changqing with big strides. When he approached, he knelt down on one knee and said with a smile, "Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, forever and ever."
Feng Changqing didn't dawdle, walking forward to personally help up Zi Yun. He opened his mouth and said, "I and you are originally close brothers, although there is a distinction between ruler and minister, it cannot block our fraternal feelings. Logically speaking, you are my imperial elder brother."
"I dare not." Zi Yin bowed respectfully and smiled, saying "Please withdraw your imperial decree, Your Majesty."
"Haha, Emperor brother is indeed not slackening off at all, no wonder he's the peaceful king of our dynasty. Let's go, I've already prepared a celebratory feast in the court, today we must drink to our heart's content." Feng Changqing turned around and looked at the still kneeling officials, waving his hand "Let's set off back to the capital."
Upon receiving the order, all officials and citizens made way for one path. The people were deeply moved by the brotherly affection and nodded in praise of their magnanimity.
The Fenghuang Kingdom has such a virtuous and talented Emperor, and also has the assistance of the undefeated Prince Wang, it is truly the blessing of the Fenghuang Kingdom. Neighboring countries do not dare to invade either.
The common people nodded in agreement and appreciation.
It's Kong Qing and Juan Dan, who are used to such scenes, calm on the surface, but deep down, they don't know what's going on. Kong Qing sneers coldly without leaving any trace, just in time to catch a glimpse of Qin Xiao, who also sees him at the same time. Kong Qing glares back fiercely, only to see Qin Xiao smile slightly, and his anger ignites, wanting to fight with him, but is stopped by Juan Dan beside him. Kong Qing can only give up for the sake of Prince Wang's face.
Juan Dan shook her head helplessly, these two brothers were much more interesting than the previous pair.
