Outside the palace wall, the emperor had already been waiting there with all civil and military officials.

Yin Houyan was also in the team. Although he was a little reluctant, this was something he had to face.

Since they are back, they will treat it as another challenge for themselves.

Over the years, they have been away from the court and have worked hard to manage it. It is still unknown who will win.

When the ministers were also very excited when they saw the team coming.

The emperor was naturally very happy and finally hoped that they would come back.

The team arrived a little further away from the city wall and stopped quickly.

After all, the emperor is in front of him, so they can't ride a horse by the emperor.

When Mu Haoze heard that the emperor had come out to greet him in person, he was also a little flattered. He dismounted early and followed the soldiers respectfully.

His two sons and four grandsons naturally followed behind him, and he dared not be vague.

The women got off the carriage, and the two daughters-in-law supported the old lady, and the three granddaughters-in-law each took their own children. This is the entire population of the Mu Mansion.

Mu Haoze was already very excited to see the emperor from afar.

He walked a few steps and then knelt down.

"The old minister has lived up to the emperor's mission and has been guarding the border for twenty years. Now that he has returned, how dare he bother the emperor to greet him in person..."

The people from the Mu family also knelt down quickly.

Yin Houyan looked at the family behind the emperor.

I'm old and too much.

All the grandchildren have grown up, and it seems that it will not be easy to deal with in the future.

The emperor also walked forward and helped Mu Haoze up himself.

"Old Marquis, please get up quickly. Over the years, the whole Mu family has been guarding the border, which has brought peace and prosperity to the Dayong. Not to mention that I was welcomed by myself, even if I asked me to thank me, as long as the people can live and work in peace, what's wrong?"

Mu Haoze was startled and knelt down again: "Your Majesty, you must not say that."

The emperor smiled and helped him up again.

The King Ning, who was closest to the emperor, looked at Mu Haoze and the Mu family, although they were so dusty, they could not hide their heroic spirit. He couldn't help but exclaim: "The old marquis is a pillar of the country, and it really makes people unable to disrespect."

"Prince, I'm sorry."

The emperor glanced at King Ning and did not speak.

When King Ning entered the palace, he had already told him that the Mu family did not know that the prince's concubine of the Ning Mansion was their granddaughter.

Keep this for a surprise.

The emperor waved his hand again, and a father-in-law behind him walked out bent down, and then took out the imperial edict that had been drafted long ago.

"The Marquis of Dingguo received the order!"

With a command, everyone in the Mu family knelt down.

"Feng——" My father-in-law's voice was very loud.

"Heaven inherits the fortune, Han Haoze, the Marquis of Xuanding, was passed down to the general Mu Qinglin, Mu Qingshan Xieting, a loyal minister of the Mu family, guarded the border for twenty years, guarded the territory of Dayong, protected the peace of the people, and made contributions to the country, and the heaven and earth learned from each other, and specially promoted the Marquis of Ding to Duke Ding, and added the first rank, Mu Qinglin and Mu Qingshan were the third rank generals..."

It is all about praise and promotion to the Mu family.

The old lady also became a first-class lady of imperial edicts. Both daughters-in-law also obtained the same level of imperial edicts with their husbands. Even the four grandchildren also had official positions, and the people of the Mu family could no longer go to the border and allow them to stay in the imperial capital.

King Ning had already known about such a promotion in advance, so he was not surprised, but was happy for them.

All officials dared not have any objections. Those who had opposed Mu Haoze's family's return to the imperial capital had already considered in their hearts whether they would settle the score after the fall if they knew about it.

Yin Houyan is the most unhappy among everyone.

Originally, their whole family returned and they had a headache, but they didn't expect that they would be promoted.

Before, he was the Prime Minister. Even if Mu Haoze had the position of marquis, his rank was above him.

Now that he has been granted the title of Duke Ding, he is half a level better than himself in terms of grade. The main reason is that he has military merits and the whole family is glorious. He has only one person to fight alone. This situation is not good for him.

Mu Haoze was very excited to receive the order and thanked him, and then stood there respectfully.

Mu Qingshan's eyes were about to be on fire when he saw Yin Houyan not far from the emperor.

The feeling of joy just now disappeared at that time.

"Second brother, what's wrong?"

Mu Qinglin asked when he felt something was wrong with Mu Qingshan beside him.

"Look at who that person is?" Mu Qingshan said without any worries.

Mu Qinglin followed his gaze and indeed saw Yin Houyan who was a little embarrassed.

"This shameless person, my little sister, will sooner or later seek revenge on her."

Their expressions were all seen in Yin Houyan's eyes.

He was a little scared and knew they were not easy to mess with.

When Mu Qingzhu insisted on being with him before, these two brothers had looked for him and threatened to break his legs.

But Mu Qingzhu was too stubborn and did not make it happen.

Now that Mu Qingzhu, who was confused by him, is gone, and the Mu family who is full of hatred for him, plus the increasingly arrogant Yin Su-han, he may not have a hard time in the future.

He turned around guiltily and refused to look at them.

The emperor did not notice the abnormality here, and happily took Mu Haoze and the others to the palace.

Today they prepared a very grand banquet to celebrate their achievements and to welcome them.

The welcoming ceremony was one after another, and no matter where the Mu family went, there was a voice of praise.

When King Ning finally had the opportunity to chat with Mu Haoze, his tone was extremely friendly.

"Prince, although the Mu family is praised by the emperor, it is now considered a glory for the whole family, but there are still differences between us and the prince. Please don't have to talk to me politely."

King Ning smiled: "Mr., I am your junior."

Mu Haoze was frightened. He really didn't dare to answer this sentence.

"Prince, please don't praise the old minister."

"It's not a politeness, you will soon believe me. Ye'er, come and pay homage to the Duke."

Mo Junye soon appeared in front of them. After King Ning introduced it, Mo Junye directly wanted to kneel down to Han Haoze.

Mu Haoze was so nervous that he almost couldn't stand it anymore. They were all royal families. Even if he had the position of Duke, he could never cross this gap.

"Criminal, you must not..."

Han Haoze was confused. What was this father and son going to do?

They were pulling, and Mu Qinglin and Mu Qingshan came over.

"Dad, Prince, Prince, what's wrong?"

Mo Junye had a blank expression on his face: "I want to kneel down to the Duke of the State, but the Duke of the State refused to accept it."

After hearing this, they were speechless.

This is indeed impossible, and it is not allowed in etiquette.

"Criminal, this is really not suitable."

King Ning just smiled but refused to explain.
