Outside Jin Ling City.
A sea of people!
The road was blocked by the people for dozens of miles. The scene was unprecedentedly spectacular!
The heroes of our country have returned with glory!
The afterglow of the setting sun in the distance shone down, dyeing the ground red.
In the sea of clouds, tens of thousands of dazzling multicolored lights were projected.
At this moment.
Rumbling sounds rang out as the black flag appeared before the eyes of countless people.
Under the flag, the snow-white robe shone brightly in the multicolored light, and the slender and holy figure seemed to be covered in golden light.
Such a hallucinatory scene was fixed in the minds of all the commoners.
The blood of the commoners boiled, and the pride in their hearts surged like raging waves.
Countless people cheered and shouted like a tsunami, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked!
The civil and military officials also bowed and cupped their hands in front of each other, performing the most solemn etiquette.
Firstly, it was because of his status. The King of Wei was extremely noble.
Secondly, he sincerely admired the achievements of the King of Wei and thanked him for creating a miracle for the Chu Country. It gave the weakest country an unparalleled sense of pride!
At this moment.
Bai Yi was like a god being worshipped by the citizens of the city, the officials of the court, and the royal family.
The scene was too shocking!
It was really rare to see!
He just stood there quietly. With a supreme halo around him, he was as dazzling as the brilliant sun.
Even Su Guan, who was calm and collected, found it difficult to maintain his composure. Ripples appeared in his heart.
After doing something for others, one would always hope for feedback, not silently giving.
"Your Majesty, I didn't fail you."
He looked at the noble and gorgeous phoenix carriage. The noble and elegant empress was as calm as ever. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.
Jiang Yanwan stared at him for a moment before opening her red lips.
"The Chu Country has never had such an unprecedented achievement. King Wei has raised the prestige of our country.”
"Zhen thanks King Wei on behalf of the people of Chu.”
With the sound of the bell and drum, Su Guan boarded the king's ceremonial carriage and walked side by side with the phoenix carriage, slowly heading toward the Imperial City.
The officials led by Prime Minister Zhang Taiyue formed a large-scale diplomatic mission and rushed to Canglan City.
The huge amount of compensation from the Great Zhou had already been paid. Even though the grain was a little too much to make up the numbers, the gold was mixed with defective goods, and the good horses were mainly male horses, they were not bred.
However, the compensation was not important, and the Chu Country could not be bothered to be arrogant because of this. The key was the territory.
He wouldn't yield an inch of land!
What should be divided must be divided, not even a palm-sized piece of land less. This was the spoils of war that the winner should get!
The five cities of An State had been renamed by His Majesty.
The viewing city of Chu Country!
This was to remember the achievements of the King of Wei. Even after thousands of years, the people could not forget it.
As long as Guan Cheng was still standing, the achievements of the King of Wei would never disappear.
……
King Wei's estate.
At dusk, a large number of envoys came to visit with gifts.
Su Guan didn't refuse to meet the guests. He just gave them a few perfunctory words and sent them away.
"Cough cough!"
A cough rang out on the bamboo forest's bluestone path. Xiao Wan 'er carried her bags and humphed,
"Prince Wei, you just came back, so you didn't buy any groceries.”
She seemed to be deliberately emphasizing that she was not here to freeload.
The empress was still demure and cold as she walked into the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Su Guan smiled and didn't say anything. He took the bags and walked into the kitchen.
In the evening, after busying himself for more than two hours, he made a large table of sumptuous dishes and three boxes of simple cakes.
"What is this?"
Xiao Wan 'er stared at the strawberry cake curiously. It was decorated with jam, and a faint fragrance lingered.
"Try it." Su Guan said casually.
Xiao Wan 'er was eager to try, but she did not dare to go beyond the rules. She quickly handed the cake to the Emperor.
The food made by the King of Wei was a delicacy.
Jiang Yanwan raised her delicate chin slightly and took a sip of the cake. Her beautiful jade-like face did not change expression.
"How is it?" Xiao Wan 'er asked expectantly.
"It's just so-so. I'll bring it back to the palace to study it.”Jiang Yanwan picked up the other two boxes of cake and said casually.
Xiao Wan 'er was speechless.
What did he mean?
If Your Majesty wants to take it away, what will Wan 'er eat?
Su Guan was enjoying the crab by himself. He had long been used to the queen's cold and arrogant personality.
"Zhen knows that you don't like going to court, so you don't have to attend court meetings in the future.”
After hogging the three boxes of cake, Jiang Yanwan said unhurriedly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Guan gave her a thumbs up in his heart.
That's right, he hated court meetings the most. Getting up early in the morning to line up in the Imperial City was a form of torture for those who slept in.
"The ten thousand taels that Wan 'er owes you, zhen will help you keep it.”Jiang Yanwan said nonchalantly.
Su Guan was stunned. He looked at Xiao Wan 'er, who had been staring at the cake with pursed lips.
Xiao Wan 'er made a helpless expression.
"Alright then." Su Guan could only compromise.
Anyway, he did not have to worry about food and clothing. The Imperial Residence of Wei did not lack anything.
"Your Majesty, there will be thousands of refugees entering Chu in a while. The court should try not to set up obstacles for them.”
Speaking of serious business, Su Guan could take revenge on Wu Mingyue because the stronghold in Huaizhou had played a big role.
Jiang Yanwan nodded gently." I'll listen to you."”
She had a small appetite and was almost full after tasting every dish.
"Zhen has returned to the palace."
Half an hour later, she looked up at the starry night sky and got up to leave.
As soon as they reached the bamboo forest, Jiang Yanwan raised her eyes slightly. She turned her head and said softly,
"Good night."
Su Guan was slightly stunned. His familiar cold tone was particularly warm.
Jiang Yanwan's goodnight included the sunlight she saw this morning, the clouds she saw at noon, and the breeze she encountered at night. It also contained everything she wanted to say.
Good night, Tsundere Empress.
He silently said in his heart.
This kind of atmosphere made him feel the most comfortable. He didn't ask about the war and just ate quietly.
It was as if Jiang Yanwan had never treated him as a subject, but as an equal.
Sometimes, respect wasn't something that could be said verbally. It was something that could be conveyed through every ordinary action.
