The generals behind him didn't have so many worries. It was a rare trip back to the capital, and they all smiled and greeted the people's welcome.
The scene was quite lively.
Until someone accidentally dropped the sachet on Huo Lichi, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became a little subtle.
The young man glanced slightly sideways, but he didn't say anything, but the man shrank unconsciously, and the surrounding area became quiet.
With this, the generals following him did not dare to be presumptuous, and silently winked at the others.
The team just passed through the street corner in silence, which made the young ladies in the box couldn't help but sigh.
"This general... is really special."
"Don't you think he's good-looking? I wonder if the general is engaged."
"Don't think about it. The general was originally from the second rank. Now that he has won the battle, this official position will be promoted to a higher level. If you are not a noble girl, don't even think about it."
"..."
During the discussion in other rooms, Gardenia just sat by the window, staring down without blinking.
In fact, she recognized the person just now, but he had important things to do and she was in a hurry, so she didn't go up to say hello.
We can wait until the next palace banquet to communicate, but now is not the time.
While thinking about it, Zhi Nai looked away and started communicating with Shen Nanqing again.
But what she didn't notice was that in the next second, Huo Lichi, who was about to cross the street, seemed to notice something and raised his eyes in the direction of the little girl.
…
After entering the palace to award the reward, and after listening to His Majesty say a few words of honor, Huo Lichi planned to return home.
Now it's just a formality, he has to go to the palace in the evening.
As soon as I left the main hall, I heard the eunuch making an announcement.
"Princess Ningle has arrived——"
Huo Lichi's gloomy expression involuntarily converged. He turned his head and saw a little girl wearing a peach dress running towards him. She paused for a moment as she passed him, then bent her eyes at him and turned around to enter the palace.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his eyelashes, making it difficult to see his emotions.
However, the eunuch who followed him was very discerning and explained to him with a smile.
"The general has just returned to the capital. He probably doesn't know this person. The person who just passed by is the only daughter of King An, Princess Ningle, whom your Majesty has personally named. She was sent to the capital three years ago. She is very favored in the palace and is treated well. Worse than the princesses.”
Huo Lichi hummed, handed over the reward without changing his expression, and left with the generals.
at the same time.
Gardenia had already rubbed into the queen's arms, and the emperor beside her muttered angrily.
"You girl, you come to the palace as soon as you know there is something good. I don't see you running so diligently. Don't worry, your share has been set aside by someone a long time ago. It will probably be at your house by now."
"Thank you, uncle!"
The queen ran a hand through her hair and added with a smile.
"There are also some new soft tobacco. I saw that the color suits you, so I sent someone to pick them up. You came just in time, which saves the palace people a trip."
Gardenia looked at her with bright eyes and her voice was sweet.
"My aunt is the best to me."
The emperor was a little bit amused.
"Why am I not the best uncle?"
Gardenia blinked her eyes, silently moved over, grabbed the corner of his clothes and shook him.
The emperor couldn't hold back his smile, "Okay, I don't know what your idea is yet. If you want anything else, just tell me, so that you don't bother me again in a few days."
His tone was disgusting, but his hand had already taken out a token from his arms and handed it to her.
If other people were here, they would definitely recognize it. It represents the identity of the emperor. Seeing the token is like seeing a person, and it is also the key to the private treasury.
After getting the token, Gardenia agreed happily, picked up her dress and ran out to find her maid, intending to pick up some good things.
