Chapter 125 – The Past

One clear sunny morning, a messenger came to the Hall of Golden Chimes with an urgent distant military report which was handed over to Chu Jinglan while he was deliberating official matters with the ministers when his imperial countenance turned extremely pleased once he unfolded it for a glance.

Ye Huaili had seized the last city, hence the lost territories in the northwest have been taken back and the three-month battle is finally coming to an end!

Once the court assembly was over, Chu Jinglan could not wait to go back to Taiji Palace to share this good news with Ye Huaiyang.

"Yang'er, your Elder Brother is indeed an inherently talented commander-in-chief. Under such perilous conditions, he was able to defeat the many rout of enemy troops with just a few. This is indeed pleasantly gratifying! When he returns triumphantly to the court, I will lead all the ministers to welcome him into the city!"

It was rare to see him this excited. Smiling with a curtsy, Ye Huaiyang feigned as she spoke, "Then Chenqie will first thank Your Majesty on behalf of my Elder Brother."

Displaying a slight helplessness, Chu Jinglan reached out to pull her into his arms when he suddenly noticed that she was wearing an extremely plain phoenix-tailed skirt, so he asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

Ye Huaiyang curled her lips and said, "A while ago I asked Xin'er to buy a panda back from Shuzhong and it happened to arrive in Wangdu today. Currently it is housed in the clan home. I want to go see it ... "

"Bought another one?"

"Yeah ... " Ye Huaiyang's voice was getting softer and softer, seemingly quite embarrassed, "Lan-lan is big now and I don't have time to play with him. It's time to find a wife for him ... "

"Why didn't I know that you even have the talent of being a matchmaker?"

Chu Jinglan couldn't help laughing and Ye Huaiyang couldn't stand his teasing look, thus she lightly stomped her feet with a blush and said, "I don't want to talk to you, I'm going back to the clan home."

"Where's the propriety for not taking your husband when you go home?" Chu Jinglan stopped her. Hooking his thin lips with a gentle smile, his voice was jade-like, "Wait, I will change my clothes and accompany you."

Ye Huaiyang asked doubtfully, "Don't you still need to discuss the matter of rewards for the troops with Xie Miao and others in the afternoon?"

"Why, am I not allowed to take a day off to accompany my wife back to her maiden's home?"

"It's more than I could wish for." Grinning from ear to ear, Ye Huaiyang was amused by him and pushed him towards the room immediately, "Then you be quick, else the wife will be anxious if it's late."

"Yes, I will obey the order given by the wife." Chu Jinglan looked askance at her with a leisurely smile and went in unhurriedly.

Soon, the two of them left the inner imperial city in an ordinary carriage and arrived at the Ye mansion within an hour. No one expected Chu Jinglan would come too, thus they panickingly welcomed the Emperor, yet he waved his hand to indicate that they did not need to be over-courteous but to be easy-going like before, as if he was not the aloof Emperor at this moment but was only Ye Huaiyang's husband.

Anyhow, the little one naturally could not be left behind since his parents were here. Chu Xiang, who has never been out of the palace since birth, seemed to have discovered a new world. He was so excited that he wanted to jump out of Ye Huaiyang's arms and rushed to the garden all the time. But he has not learned to walk yet and needs someone to support him at the back in case he falls accidentally which will certainly be troublesome. Not wanting Ye Huaiyang to worry, Chu Jinglan simply took him over and carried him himself.
