The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 28

When the palace heard of the Southern Kingdom's victory at the border, they were busy preparing a welcoming celebration for Huang Long.

When Huang Long's group arrived at the capital region, they were greeted with thousands of people standing and cheering in the street. The streets of the capital are crowded with people who enthusiastically welcome the arrival of their leader. When the gate opened, Huang Long's group appeared. Huang Long mounted his horse in the front row, followed by General Mo and General Jiang. Behind them, a carriage pulled by horses and a few soldiers followed.

Xie Hongyi was absolutely amazed by this rapturous reception, thinking that he was an actor at a parade. Xie Hongyi looked at the people who were crowding behind the train windows. Their faces were extremely happy, especially a little boy that Xie Hongyi happened to see. The boy had eyes that implied pride and hope.

Xie Hongyi was reminded of the war-torn children he encountered in his world. When they saw the arrival of volunteer assistance, they also displayed such a face. Speaking of children, Xie Hongyi remembered Prince Jue. What are those little dumplings doing right now?

"Life Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Those words continued to echo along the road to the palace.

The party finally reached the palace gate. Led by the Royal Adviser, the officials and the royal family gathered in the palace courtyard. When they saw Huang Long, congratulations and cheers were buzzing all over the palace.

"Happy Your Majesty!"

"Happy Your Majesty!"

Xie Hongyi was a little dizzy hearing everyone congratulate him. He got off the car and saw everyone. The first time he saw the face of the royal adviser, Xie Hongyi was stunned. The man's face was so beautiful, with a white shirt dangling onto the floor, hair color as black as ink, a snow-white face and an extraordinary look. Her eyebrows curved up beautifully, her eyes shining like moonlight and lips red like cherries. Xie Hongyi was like seeing a bidadara descend to earth. That incredible face of his could possibly be on par with Huang Long. If Huang Long was the number one most handsome person, then his royal advisor was number two.

"Happy Your Majesty for your victory. Heaven and earth bless you. We're all happy." When Shi XuanRan spoke, his voice was like flowing water. Quiet and gentle.

Huang Long humbly replied. "Royal counsel, that victory would not have been achieved without their merit." Huang Long spoke as he glanced at General Mo, General Jiang and Xie Hongyi.

"of course. With the great skill of these two Generals, it must have defeated many enemies."

"You're right. It seems our military is getting better."

They then talked, forgetting the three people behind him. Quietly Xie Hongyi who was behind him felt a little bored. I don't care if he's a Royal Counselor or your lover, but quickly give the order! We were really sore from standing for too long! Xie Hongyi grumbled inwardly.

It was obvious here that complained only Xie Hongyi. It seemed like the two Generals in front of him were not bothered at all. They might have gotten used to it.

***

When the two-man conversation ended, Huang Long climbed up the palace stairs with Shi XuanRan by his side. The South Emperor turned out to give a gift to those who contributed to the war on the border.

"With this, Jiang Qingyuan was awarded as the Supreme General in the Southern Empire. And because of his great service, the entire Jiang family will be awarded the title of supreme noble."

"Thank you Your Majesty." General Jiang kneeling before Huang Long replied.

"For General Mo Wuyue, awarded the title of Supreme General. Also, the military territory in the North will be ceded to you."

General Mo who was also kneeling replied. "Thank you Your Majesty."

Huh huh? Xie Hongyi foolishly blinked. He also got a gift? "Thank you Your Majesty." Although a little confused, Xie Hongyi did not forget to thank him.

Oh, I don't need a title, all I want is money!

The surviving soldiers were also given the gift of promotion to guard the senior soldiers in the empire.

After the gift is completed, in the evening the Palace will hold a feast to celebrate it. Everyone is invited, even small citizens can attend but must be outside the Palace.

Xie Hongyi went to his residence and saw four people standing at the gate of the courtyard of the residence. One little boy who was none other than Prince Jue and his servants.

"Madam, thank goodness you're safe again." Wan'er spoke for the first time.

Xie Hongyi answered him with a nod and a smile on his face. The eunuch by his side who was escorting Xie Hongyi opened his voice. "Then, I say hello to Madam."

"Go."

After the eunuch left, Prince Jue suddenly ran over and lunged at Xie Hongyi. Her small hands were trying to hug both of the woman's knees. She with her sweet face spoke. "I am so grateful that my mother survived. But, why don't you bring meat?"

The corner of Xie Hongyi's mouth twitched. Does this little boy consider himself going to the market, not to the battlefield? The three servants could not help but laugh as they heard Prince Jue speak.

Meanwhile, Prince Jue was unaware of what was strange with his sentence. He was a little boy, but all this time he couldn't always say what he had in mind. Her caregiver said that she should be careful in speaking and not say anything she has in mind if something goes wrong.

But when she got to know Xie Hongyi, she did not remember the advice her nanny had said. He felt that he could freely share anything with Xie Hongyi.

When he first tasted Xie Hongyi's cooking, Prince Jue was hooked. The food that was commonly served for him in the Palace was not as delicious as Xie Hongyi's. As long as Xie Hongyi went to the border, he had missed Xie Hongyi very much and his cooking. So when he saw his mother, he couldn't help but say what she had in mind.

"My little prince apparently missed the flesh. Relax, I'll make you some good food." Said Xie Hongyi as he pinched the small dumplings.

Sure enough, when Xie Hongyi spoke like that, Prince Jue's eyes twinkled. "I want to be quick. You mustn't forget."

Those who were there were comforted by the little prince's words.

Otherside.

After the awarding of the boon was completed, Huang Long did not directly go to the study. He walked towards the Phoenix Palace, where the Empress lived with a eunuch by his side.

When they got there, a guard at the residence announced Huang Long's arrival. "His Majesty the Emperor arrived."

Empress Shi has the real name Shi Mian. His father was a prime minister and his brother was a royal adviser. He entered the harem at the age of 16. In this year now he was the same age as Huang Long.

They sat face to face in Shi Mian's room. After telling the servants to leave, Huang Long asked a completely unexpected thing to Shi Mian.
