Chapter 484
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling in the quiet courtyard. Shangguan Ziling gently stroked the hem of her clothes, and a hint of worry was revealed between her slightly furrowed brows. She turned and looked into the house, and whispered, "Is the little guy asleep?" Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, with the tenderness and care unique to a mother.
Mo Shaoxie gently put his arm around Shangguan Ziling's shoulders, and their figures were stretched out in the moonlight. They walked out of the room very lightly, fearing to disturb the children inside.
Shangguan Ziling looked up at the night sky, which was full of stars shining with charming light, as if countless eyes were silently guarding this tranquility. She sighed softly and said, "I wonder if our little Yi'er is asleep now." Her eyes were full of longing and expectation.
Mo Shaoxie felt Shangguan Ziling's mood, and he hugged Shangguan Ziling and went up to the roof.
On the roof, the two sat side by side, feeling the cool breeze. He comforted her softly, "Ling'er, Xiao Yi'er will be back soon, and we will live happily as a family of four in the future."
"Um"
Shangguan Ziling snuggled in Mo Shaoxie's arms, and the two of them admired the starry sky together.
As the night deepened, the stars were still shining. Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie sat on the roof for a long, long time, until the night breeze took away the last bit of coolness.
They left the roof and returned to the warm room to rest.
The Dongyue Dynasty was in a good time with a peaceful and prosperous country. However, in recent days, the entire capital was shrouded in an atmosphere of expectation and excitement. The reason was that the legendary little hero, Mo Yi, was about to return triumphantly.
A few days passed in a flash, and finally, on this day, outside the city gate, dust was flying and the sound of horse hooves was like thunder.
In the distance, a group of knights in distinctive armor were seen slowly approaching with a golden carriage.
The emperor himself and his court ministers had already been waiting at the city gate. People on both sides of the street also lined the streets to welcome them. Cheers rose one after another, as if to push the festive atmosphere to a climax.
The carriage stopped and a little man slowly walked out of the carriage. He was wearing a black battle robe and a long sword at his waist. Although he was young, his brows revealed a calmness and majesty that was inconsistent with his age.
This is Mo Yi, the son of Regent Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling. He is only five years old, but after this battle, he has become famous throughout the world.
Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie stood on the side of the emperor, their eyes fixed on their son.
It felt like a lifetime since they last saw each other for five years. Now when they meet again, that little baby has grown into the pride of their hearts.
Shangguan Ziling burst into tears and choked up, "Xiao Yi'er..."
Mo Yi jumped off the carriage and walked towards the emperor with firm steps, "Mo Yi greets Your Majesty. Mo Yi did not let Your Majesty down and successfully captured Xiliang. From now on, Xiliang is our Dongyue territory."
"Mo Yi, you are our little hero of the Dongyue Dynasty!" The emperor's voice was loud and excited, and it spread throughout the capital. He took Mo Yi's hand, walked in front of the civil and military officials, and announced loudly: "Today, I will reward General Mo Yi generously. He has made great contributions to the Dongyue Dynasty at a young age. Let us cheer for General Mo Yi!"
The ministers and the people on both sides shouted loudly. The whole capital was immersed in joy and celebration.
Mo Yi stood beside the emperor with a bright smile on his face.
"Little Yi"
Mo Yi looked at Shangguan Ziling and felt an indescribable sense of intimacy.
"Brother~" Mo Ruyu ran over and hugged Mo Yi. Mo Yi's little body stiffened.
"You, who are you?"
Mo Ruyu let go of Mo Yi, pouted, and looked back at Shangguan Ziling.
Shangguan Ziling walked forward, bowed to the emperor, then stopped beside Mo Yi and said with a sob: "Xiao Yi'er, I, I am your mother, your father and I are back."
Shangguan Ziling's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at her son with mixed feelings. She was relieved but also distressed. She was relieved by her son's bravery and achievements, but distressed that her son had to go to the battlefield at such a young age.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yi threw himself into Shangguan Ziling’s arms, “Mother~”
"Oh, little Yi'er" Shangguan Ziling couldn't hold back any longer and hugged Mo Yi and cried bitterly.
Mo Yi patted Shangguan Ziling on the back, "Mom, don't cry..."
Mo Yi looked up at Mo Shaoxie, who had a look of pride and honor on his face. He patted his son's shoulder, his eyes gleaming with approval.
"Little Yier".
"Are you daddy?"
Mo Shaoxie nodded and said, "Yeah," "You are great, you are the pride of father and mother."
Mo Yi looked at his parents and a bright smile appeared on his face.
Shangguan Ziling let go of Xiao Yier, wiped her tears, and took Mo Ruyu's hand, "Xiao Yier, this is your sister, Xiao Yuer."
"younger sister?"
Mo Ruyu called sweetly: "Brother, we miss you so much."
Shangguan Ziling stood up and bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rudeness."
The emperor smiled and said, "Why do you say that, Princess Regent? You haven't seen Mo Yi for several years. I understand how you feel. Mo Yi will go back with you first so that you can reunite as a family. We will hold a celebration banquet for our little hero in the palace in the evening."
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
Then the emperor left with his ministers.
Shangguan Ziling picked up Mo Yi, and Mo Yi felt a little awkward, "Mom, the child is already grown up."
Shangguan Ziling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Xiao Yi'er is only five years old, he is just a child."
Mo Shaoxie held Xiao Yuer in his arms, and the family of four returned to the Regent's Palace.
The entire capital was in an uproar, with people discussing the bravery and wisdom of this young man and lamenting the promising future of the Dongyue Dynasty.
However, while people were celebrating Mo Yi's return, some began to think about deeper questions. How did a five-year-old child defeat the Western Liang Kingdom in just one and a half years? What kind of wisdom and courage was hidden in this?
These questions have undoubtedly attracted widespread attention and discussion. Some people praised Mo Yi as a natural general, while others believed that there must be a master behind this. And more people are beginning to look forward to how this young hero will write his legendary life in the future.
The storytellers in teahouses and restaurants spoke with such passion that people's blood boiled.
At this time, Shangguan Ziling and his party had already returned to the Regent's Palace.
Qiu Kui looked inside, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Dongqing beside her: "The princess and others are finally back."
Just now, when they were in the returning team, Qiu Kui and Dong Qing were very excited to see the princess and the prince.
Dongqing's eyes were also a little moist, "Young Master will no longer be alone from now on."
Okra nodded vigorously, "Yeah."
Qiu Kui, Dong Qing and the elite secret guards of the Regent's Palace all went to the battlefield with Mo Yi. They all went to protect Mo Yi.
