On the second day, Wan Yang and Huo Yu returned to Liancheng early. Today was the day to set off back to Beijing. The soldiers and the Wan family's caravan had already made preparations.

"Let's set off!"

Following Huo Yu's order, two large teams of military and merchants set off.

Wanyang and Huo Yu rode in front, followed by several carriages, which were loaded with Wanyang's recent harvest in the Western Regions.

The clatter of horse hooves echoed in this quiet desert.

The two first took the Wan family's goods back to Heyuan County, and let the army repair them for a few days before embarking on the road back to Beijing again.

Huo Yu returned to the capital from the desert this time, returning victoriously from a great battle. The emperor was naturally very happy, and he personally led all the courtiers to greet him at the city gate.

"Congratulations to Huo Aiqing on her triumphant return." The emperor said to Huo Yu with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Huo Yu also clasped his fists and saluted.

"Okay, come into the palace quickly! I have already prepared a banquet in the palace, and I will definitely reward you well this time!" The emperor happily took Huo Yu's arm and asked him to get up. He seemed to be really happy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huo Yu nodded.

Along the way, the courtiers congratulated Huo Yu one after another, and people kept coming to watch.

As a woman, Wanyang could not attend the palace's commendation banquet, so she secretly returned to the general's mansion long ago.

After she returned to the mansion, she asked the maids in the mansion to send all her clothes to her room, and she changed into a white dress.

Wearing white clothes, she looks like a fairy, which makes people dare not look directly at her.

Wanyang came to the mirror and took a look. She felt that she looked very beautiful now. She couldn't help but smile. This smile was so charming that the whole nation was captivated!

Wanyang felt narcissistic for a while, then took out a piece of jade and put it on.

She picked up the bronze mirror and looked around. After confirming that the jade pendant suited her well, she took out a jade hairpin and pinned it on her head. Finally, she took out a pair of red embroidered shoes and put them on.

Wanyang looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said narcissistically in her heart: Tsk, tsk, I am so perfect!

"Madam, you are so beautiful today!" Just when Wanyang was narcissistic, an exclamation sounded outside the door.

Hearing the exclamation, Wanyang immediately reacted and ran out quickly.

I saw Caihe standing outside the room, looking at Wanyang with admiration.

Wanyang smiled at her and told her to go to the kitchen to prepare meals.

Caihe responded and went to the kitchen.

After Caihe left, Wanyang turned around and went back to the room, and looked in the mirror again...

"Madam, it's time to eat!"

"good!"

Caihe brought a sumptuous meal, a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, a plate of cold celery, a mushroom and chicken soup, several plates of light vegetarian dishes, and several plates of meat dishes.

After Caihe put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, he left.

Wanyang sat at the dining table, picked up the spoon and took a sip of soup.

She was drinking happily when suddenly Huo Yu's voice sounded.

"tasty?"

Hearing Huo Yu's voice, Wanyang looked up and saw him, and was immediately startled: "Shouldn't you be receiving the reward at the palace? Why are you back now?"

"I'm coming back to accompany you. I was afraid that you would be lonely if you stayed alone in the general's mansion, so I came back early!" Huo Yu said with a smile.

"Humph, why am I lonely?" Wanyang was happy to cooperate with him in this little taste of blessing.

"Why not? I think you just miss my embrace, so you want me to come back to accompany you." Huo Yu said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Tch, stop being narcissistic!"

"I'm not narcissistic. What I tell is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can touch my chest and see if my heart is beating very fast now."

Listening to Huo Yu's teasing, Wanyang's little face couldn't help but blush.

"Humph, I don't believe it. Hurry up and eat, I'm hungry!" After saying that, Wanyang lowered her head and ate, ignoring Huo Yu.

Huo Yu didn't say anything else and continued to eat with his head down.

The two of them finished their meal in silence, and then went to the courtyard to drink tea.

It was night before you knew it. After Huo Yu washed up, he hugged Wanyang and lay on the bed to rest. Wanyang wanted to tell him about her infertility. After all, this was ancient times, and inheritance from descendants was very important. Some things still mattered.

It's better to say it earlier.

But she didn't know how to talk to Huo Yu, so she could only let him hold her.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Huo Yu asked softly.

Wanyang hesitated for a moment and finally decided to confess.

She slowly turned around and looked at Huo Yu, and said, "Huo Yu, do you like children?"

"Why are you asking about this suddenly? Do you have it?" Huo Yu asked with some confusion.

"No, I met a doctor with whom I have business cooperation in the Western Regions a few days ago. He helped me check my bloodline and said that I was born with a cold palace and no chance of having children in my life. Maybe I can't give birth to a child for you." Wan

Yang said deliberately frustrated.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are by my side, that's enough."

"But we are husband and wife now, you must have a child."

"What's the use of children? You are my most precious treasure. I will use all my love to love you, pamper you, protect you and protect you from harm." Huo Yu said with a smile.

Wan Yang believed in his words. After all, when he needed descendants to inherit the throne in other worlds, he had no desire for children.

She no longer dwelled on the child's problems, but focused on the man in front of her.

Since these days, she has been thinking about how they will live in the future every day.

"Huo Yu, what kind of life are we going to live in the future?" Wanyang suddenly asked.

"We? Are you talking about our lives?" Huo Yu looked at Wanyang and asked.

"Well, I want to know what you want to do with your future life!"

"I have thought about many ways of life, such as practicing martial arts and hunting in the valley, or leading troops to fight in all directions, but in my opinion, nothing is more important than yours." Huo Yu said seriously.

After listening to his words, Wanyang's heart felt warm and she almost shed tears of emotion.

"Huo Yu...I love you..."

Huo Yu was also very excited after hearing her confession. He kissed her lips gently, and the two kissed deeply.

The two kissed and rolled on the bed and began to tear each other's clothes...

Early the next morning, Huo Yu opened his hazy sleepy eyes and saw that Wanyang was still sleeping soundly next to him. He got out of bed lightly, got dressed and left the house.

When Wanyang woke up, Huo Yu had already returned from going to court.
