Chapter 541 - 541 532
?Chapter 541: 532 Chapter 541: 532 By the end of the morning, someone had already reported to Rong’an Hall that the victorious forces of rebellion were approaching the city gates. Soon after, another message came, reporting that the emperor had led the civilian and military officers towards the city gates for a reception.
Many messages poured into the manor, one after the other. The emperor received the victorious forces outside the gates of the city; the troops knelt on the ground, shouting three times in unison, “Long live the Emperor, Long live the Emperor, Long Live the Emperor a Thousand Times Over.” The emperor laughed loudly… Commander Chu, valiant and majestic, was kneeling at the front, loudly reporting the process of the victorious rebellion. The emperor personally helped him up and rewarded his troops… The emperor in his Dragon Chariot, with Commander Chu on his horse, paraded together… This lasted until noontime when the emperor led his civil and military officials, as well as the senior generals who had backed the rebellion, into the Imperial Palace.
Commander Chu was most frequently mentioned in the reports, making the third wife shift between crying, laughing, and feeling proud.
Before lunch, Chu Lingwei, Chu Lingzhi, and Chen Alu returned as well. They spoke excitedly about how valiantly Commander Chu had conducted himself and how the emperor had honored him. They also saw Chu Lingxuan, who was the youngest and most handsome of the senior generals, riding horseback closely behind Commander Chu…
At this time, Chu Ling’an, who was on duty in the palace, sent a message to inform them that the emperor had invited the three lords, the Marquis Chu, and Chu Lingxuan to a banquet in the palace. They might also dine there in the evening, so the people at home should not wait for them.
After dinner, everyone left Rong’an Hall and returned to their respective courtyards. Chu Lingwei and Chen Alu went out again, saying they wanted to participate in a poetry competition at the wine-shop where the scholars would “Sing Praises of the Heroes.”
All morning, the children had been excited, especially Yu’er. Although the two little brothers could not remember what their father looked like, they knew that their father loved them very much and eagerly awaited his return. Under the repeated explanations of her mother and older sisters, Yu’er had a general understanding of what her father was like, and was filled with expectations. Chu Hanyan didn’t need to be mentioned; she was looking forward to his return every day. Seeing her mother cry, she also cried. She had also made a beautiful bracelet for her father…
Chen Afu saw that the little brothers and Yu’er were already very tired, and had someone bring them to rest. They were. Chen Afu laughed and said, “Your daddy will not be back until after dinner.”
Hearing this, the children grudgingly let the servants lead them away to sleep.
