Chapter 199

After the war was quelled, General Hua Xiangying led the troop back to the court and went to Beijing to report on his duties.

"General, we will arrive at Jingjing City three miles ahead." Lu Shexiao followed Hua Xiangying on his horse and said.

"I haven't been back to Beijing for so many years, and I don't know how those old foxes are standing in the team now."

But this is not what she cares about. She returned to Beijing this time just to find out the truth of what happened back then.

Hua Xiangying looked at the road ahead, and suddenly, the corner of her mouth curled up.

"However, as Huai Mu's letter said, the regent Ming Guize is not someone to be trifled with. After returning, try to avoid contact with him."

"Yes!"

Not long after, Hua Xiangying saw the city gate not far away, and a group of officials in court uniforms standing outside the city gate.

Hua Xiangying narrowed her eyes slightly, and saw clearly the two leaders leading the team.

One of them was wearing an apricot yellow court dress, and Hua Xiangying also guessed the identity of this person - Prince Jingbei.

And the other one was wearing a black robe, which seemed to be embroidered with gold thread.

After walking in, Hua Xiangying finally saw clearly that the embroidery was a python.

Hua Xiangying's gaze fell on the man's face, and he could see that his appearance was superb, but those eyes were too deep, as if they were hiding many things.

It's like a pool of water, which can suck people into it at once.

It's just that those eyes seem a little familiar...

Presumably, this is the regent Ming Guize.

The first time she saw Ming Guize, Hua Xiangying labeled him a "dangerous person".

But after all, the identities of these two are extremely high, Hua Xiangying still maintains a peaceful face, and when he gets close, he quickly dismounts.

"Chen Huaxiangying, pay homage to the Regent, and meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Just as he was about to kneel down to salute, Ming Guize took a step ahead and held his arm.

"General Hua doesn't need to be too polite. The general has made great contributions to calming the chaos this time. His Majesty specially prepared a banquet for the general to welcome the wind and cleanse the dust for General Hua."

The voice is clear and pleasant, like flowing water and a clear spring, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

After Hua Xiangying finished speaking, she lowered her eyes slightly, glanced at the arm still supported by Ming Guize, and raised her eyes again, looking at Ming Guize.

Ming Guize calmly withdrew his hand, but there was no sign of embarrassment on his face. Instead, he said with a smile: "General Hua is young and promising, with high martial arts skills. He has the demeanor of the late General Hua back then. With a little time, he will definitely be able to inherit Hua. The old general's mantle."

Hearing Old General Hua from Ming Guize's mouth, Hua Xiangying felt a little complicated, and looked at Ming Guize with some inquiring eyes.

Can you mention the words "General Hua" without changing your face?
Did the events of that year have anything to do with you?

"The regent's point is that the minister should work hard."

Ming Guize could see that Hua Xiangying was on guard against him. Although he didn't know where the guard came from, he still felt a little tricky.

"General Hua, don't worry about it. In fact, it's not just General Hua. This king also hopes that there will be no more wars and disputes in this world, and the people will live in harmony and work in peace and contentment."

Hua Xiangying looked at Ming Guize with a smile on his face, and suddenly thought of Jian Huaimu's advice to her——

Ming Guize seems to treat others peacefully, but his heart is unfathomable. If he accidentally hits his bottom line, he will turn his face instantly.

Hua Xiangying thought that Ming Guize might have misunderstood something, but when he heard Ming Guize's remarks, his expression was slightly moved, and he nodded in agreement.

"The Regent said so."

Seeing Hua Xiangying's expression eased, Ming Guize spoke again: "I have long heard that General Hua is brave and good at fighting, and he loves generals and people. Now that I see him, I feel that we hate seeing each other too late."

Hua Xiangying smiled politely and said nothing.

"I wonder if General Hua has time to visit the residence?" Ming Guize asked.

Hua Xiangying did not expect that Ming Guize would invite her to the Prince Regent's Palace within less than a quarter of an hour after their first meeting.

Does this person treat everyone like this?Or does he have other plans?
Thinking of this, Hua Xiangying declined politely: "Thank you, Prince Regent, for your kindness. It's just that I haven't returned to Beijing for many years. When I return to Beijing this time, I want to go to Jian's mansion to visit Mrs. Jian and Mrs. Jian first."

Hua Xiangying was brought up by Jian Yuanshou and his wife. This is known to everyone in the capital. Ming Guize is not surprised that Hua Xiangying would have such thoughts.

Ming Guize also guessed that Hua Xiangying was hostile towards him, but...

Hua Xiangying's figure had disappeared, and Ming Guize's gaze softened.

For some reason, Emperor Jingbei canceled the banquet that day, so they didn't meet up that night, but...

No matter what, he will definitely protect the only heir of General Hua.

On the other side, the Imperial Study Room——

Not long after Hua Xiangying and Yun Yuefeng left the imperial study, the crown prince Ming Yu entered the imperial study.

"how?"

Emperor Jingbei asked.

"Reporting to my father, the Seventeenth Emperor's Uncle seems to be very interested in General Hua. Before outside the city gate, the Seventeenth Emperor's Uncle invited General Hua to visit his residence, but was declined by General Hua."

Emperor Jingbei laughed when he heard the words, and shrewdness flashed in his eyes: "He is quick and quick. Hua Xiangying has just returned to Beijing, and he wants to invite someone to come to the house."

"Father, I feel that Uncle Seventeen is just being polite. After all, no outsider has ever entered the Prince Regent's Mansion."

Emperor Jingbei sneered, noncommittal.

It is unknown whether Hua Xiangying is a threat now, but Ming Guize...

Emperor Jingbei's eyes turned cold, he didn't know what he was thinking.

……

After walking far away, Yun Yuefeng glanced back at the direction of the gazebo, which he could no longer see, and looked away.

"The relationship between your husband and the regent does not seem to be bad?"

"Nothing." Hua Xiangying denied Yun Yuefeng's words without even thinking about it: "It's just that when I was going back to Beijing, the regent came to greet me."

"Yes, with the regent's temperament, he has never been so kind to others."

Hua Xiangying listened, her footsteps paused slightly.

But it was only at that moment that he returned to his original state.

"Don't worry about it, if he really has plans, the fox's tail will be exposed after all."

When Yun Yuefeng heard this, she naturally didn't say anything else, but kept a secret in her heart.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eve of the banquet.

Hua Xiangying and his wife Yun Yuefeng came to the banquet hall.

In the banquet hall, the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly, and the banquet is full of toasts and cups.

Hua Xiangying and Yun Yuefeng had just sat down when someone came to talk with wine glasses.

Some people envy and worship, some people follow others, and some people sit in their own seats, not paying attention to it, and sneering at it.

Yun Yuefeng sat there, watched Hua Xiangying get up to socialize, and sat aside with nothing to do with her.

Hua Xiangying didn't mind these things, after all, Yunyuefeng was a "girl's family", so she didn't have to deal with these things.

What's more, her drinking capacity is not bad, and she was trained in the military camp.

And compared to the jade wine in the cup, she felt that the strong wine from the military camp was smoother.
