As soon as Liu Mingzhi put the Heavenly Sword on his waist, little Chengzi ran into the palace gate with an excited expression and shouted.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince and the soldiers of our Dalong Mission have entered the city from the south gate of the capital."
Liu Mingzhi turned slightly and glanced at the excited little Chengzi. He held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand and nodded lightly.
"I understand. You should rush to the imperial dining room immediately and inform all the imperial chefs to start preparing for the banquet."
"Yes, yes, I will resign, old slave."
As soon as Xiao Chengzi left, a group of beauties who had changed into palace clothes also came out of the back hall one after another.
"Husband, my concubines and sisters have already changed into their palace clothes."
Young Master Liu smiled and looked around at the ladies in front of him, who were both thin and fat, graceful and luxurious, and pointed to the Qinzheng Hall in the distance.
"Ladies, when we arrive at the Qinzheng Hall, we can no longer call you husband. We must call you Your Majesty, otherwise the censors will find trouble again if they hear what they say."
Qi Yun and the other sisters looked at each other and bowed elegantly and generously.
"Sisters, I understand, please see Your Majesty."
"Okay, okay, now that we are all ready, let's rush to Qinzheng Hall together."
"My concubine obeys your orders. Your Majesty will ask you first."
Liu Mingzhi breathed a silent sigh, controlled the expression on his face, turned around and walked straight out of the Guangming Palace. Qi Yun and the other beauties also followed him with light steps and dignified manners.
After a few cups of tea, Liu Mingzhi and his wife arrived at the Qinzheng Hall together.
"I see your Majesty, long live my emperor."
"I see you ladies and gentlemen, your Majesty is a thousand years old."
Liu Mingzhi stood on the dragon platform with his body as straight as a sword, looking down at the officials in the palace and holding his hands in vain.
"My dear ministers and dear ministers, please excuse me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Willow Pine."
"The little one is here."
"Take someone to bring some chairs to the back hall and show them where you ladies can sit."
"Yes, I will obey, little one."
Liu Song immediately raised his hand to greet several young eunuchs and walked into the back hall. Liu Mingzhi looked at the officials in the hall who had not been in the cabinet and smiled lightly.
"My beloved sirs, you have sharp ears and eyes. I haven't sent anyone to your residence to summon you, so you have come to the palace to see me."
"Your Majesty was joking. The scouts kept shouting the news of His Highness the First Prince's return from his mission. Now everyone in the whole capital knows about it."
"Old minister seconded the proposal. Although I am handling government affairs in the government office or in the palace, the news of the return of the eldest prince is so loud, how could I not know about it."
"Your Majesty, His Highness the First Prince has been away from his hometown for two years. How dare I not come to the palace to meet him once I know His Highness has returned to the capital."
"Your Majesty, I am taking a bath today. It just so happens that I am strolling on the street with my concubine..."
"Your Majesty, I was informed by someone in the palace..."
"..."
"I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will learn from this and forgive my uninvited mistakes."
Young Master Liu couldn't help but raise a faint smile, looking down at the civil and military officials under the dragon stage who had their own excuses, and waved casually.
"My dear friends, I am serious. You are still thinking about the government affairs of the court all the time on the day of rest. This is a sign of loyalty to the emperor and the country. What is wrong?
Thank you for your hard work, just sit quietly and wait for the emperor and the others to enter the palace."
"My Emperor, Holy Ming, thank you, Your Majesty."
After the civil and military officials stood up one after another, Liu Song took the lead and led a group of young eunuchs carrying chairs back to the main hall.
"Master Qi, the chairs for you ladies have been brought here, would you like to put them down now?"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, pointing to both sides of the dragon platform.
"Except for the chairs of the Queen and the Empress of the West Palace, which are placed on the left and right sides of the dragon chair, the rest can be arranged in order according to customization."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
"You must immediately arrange these chairs in order according to His Majesty's instructions."
"Queen, dear concubines, please take your seats now.
The emperor and the others have just entered the city gate of the capital, and it will probably take some time to get to the palace to meet him, so we can just wait quietly in the palace."
"Sisters, I obey."
After Qi Yun and the other beauties walked to their seats one after another and sat down according to the order, Liu Mingzhi sat down on the dragon chair without any hurry, narrowed his eyes and stared eagerly in the direction of the palace gate and waited.

…………
On Qinglong Main Street, which leads from the south gate of the capital to the palace gate, countless Dalong people have already gathered along the street to greet them.
Nowadays, both sides of the street are already crowded with people. The densely packed people in the city look at the Dragon Mission slowly rushing towards the palace and keep waving their arms.
"The great dragon is mighty, long live our emperor. Congratulations to the great dragon envoy on their return from their mission."
"The great dragon is mighty, long live our emperor. Congratulations to the great dragon envoy on their return from their mission."
"The great dragon is mighty, long live our emperor. Congratulations to the great dragon envoy on their return from their mission."
Serena, the little queen of Tsarist Russia, looked at the people on the street who raised their hands and shouted in stunned silence through the curtains of the carriage. When she came back to her senses, she hurriedly looked at Liu Chengfeng, who had a sighing expression next to her.
“Brother Feng, are the people of your Dalong Kingdom on the streets welcoming your Dalong mission?
You are not the Emperor of Dalong, why are they so excited?"
Liu Chengfeng turned to look at Serena's confused gaze, which seemed a little difficult to understand the situation, and lowered the curtains at her fingertips with a smile.
"Madam, you still don't know the customs of our Dalong people. This is just a belief of our Dalong people."
"Belief?"
"Yes, faith! In our Dalong, as long as the army is victorious and triumphant, the imperial envoys return to Beijing to report on their duties, the officials with unparalleled reputations are transferred, and the envoys return, these things will be welcomed by the people of our Dalong.
The common people will not only spontaneously come out to express their excitement when they see the emperor going on patrol, this is one of our Dalong customs.
As for the specific situation, after we settle down, husband, I will take you to slowly appreciate the customs and customs of our Dalong Dynasty.
You still have a lot to learn! And”
"And what? Brother Feng, keep talking!"
Liu Chengfeng let out a long sigh, his eyes showing a look of nostalgia and excitement but also a bit of nervousness.
“And if my husband’s father is here, you will see an even grander scene than now.
At that time, there were more than just the people in the inner and outer cities of Dalong Capital. Wherever my father went, it could be said that every state capital in Dalong would be filled with crowds of people.
Although the capital city is big, it is only a small place compared to my country, Dalong. Although there are many people in the capital, it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the people of my country, Dalong.
How can my father's prestige be explained clearly to you in just a few words? After you meet him, you will understand what my husband means.
Madam, the closer we are to the palace, the more excited and worried my husband is. I hope... I hope..."
"What do you wish for? What do you want to say to me? Just say no. Brother Feng, can you stop being so hesitant when speaking?"
Liu Chengfeng looked at Serena's pretty and charming face, silently held Serena's wrist and let out a breath.
"I hope, madam, you won't touch my father's evil side! Otherwise, even if our husband and wife are tied together, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand his anger.
There is a saying among our big dragons, which is that dragons have reverse scales, and those who touch them will die. There is also an old saying that when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be laid down, and the blood will float in the oars.
You won't understand this, and I don't want you to understand either.
But don’t worry, Madam, no matter what happens, my husband will do his best to protect the safety of Madam and you both at all costs.”
Serena saw Liu Chengfeng's worried expression and rolled her eyes angrily.
"Brother Feng, although Serena can't understand everything you said just now, she can at least understand it roughly.
What you want to say is that as long as we anger your father, the consequences will be very serious!
Liu Chengfeng frowned slightly and nodded with a wry smile.
"Madam, you are right, that's roughly what it means."
"Brother Feng, do you look like this? On the way back to your dragon, Brother Feng, you seemed to have changed as soon as you mentioned your father. Is he really that scary?
You are the great hero who helped Serena stabilize the chaos in Tsarist Russia. Why are you so afraid of your father?
He is not a devil, can he still eat you?"
Liu Chengfeng looked at Serena's charming face and moved his finger on the lady's pretty nose.
