Qiujing City, the capital of Qiushui Kingdom since the founding of the People's Republic of China, is located in one of the four provinces, and it is also the largest Manyue Province in the northeast.

This was decided by Her Majesty the First Empress, which means that once there is a war with the feud Northern Yan Kingdom, the national capital will be at the forefront, and it is destined to be the place where the war is most intense.

In the past few hundred years, all the land in the east and north of Qiujing City has been conquered by Qiushui Country with years of war, and there are more than 400 miles of land, all of which have been included in the scope of Full Moon Province.

Autumn capital is also the three major capitals of the three northern kingdoms, the most prosperous, not counting all kinds of festivals, just say the market on weekdays, there are people crowded, sweating into the rain.

There are two city walls in Qiujing City, the inner wall, the area that is now enclosed, is where the imperial palace of Qiushui is located, and the periphery, it has undergone 17 times of renovation and reconstruction, covering a vast area, and the population in it, according to the statistics of the previous year, has more than 3 million.

In the Eastern District, there is a Jinzhi Street, which is wide enough for four horse-drawn carriages to pass side by side.

On both sides of Jinzhi Street, all the relatives of the emperor and the country, the dignitaries and nobles, the mansion of the third princess Qiushu is in the center of here, divided into twenty-seven courtyards, covering an area of more than eighty acres, and there are two hundred and seventy-four servants alone, all of whom are personally selected and given by the queen of heaven Qiu Hanyu, which shows the glory of holy grace.

In front of the Zhu Gate of the Third Princess's Mansion, a dignified man in his fifties was standing there, and at a glance, his eyes were all righteous and inviolable, and behind him, there were ten beautiful maidservants, each holding a plate, waiting there.

The third princess Qiushu has returned to Beijing for five days, as soon as she returned to Beijing, she went directly into the palace, and her entourage also followed into the palace, until this morning, no one in the palace came to inform the third princess's mansion, ready to welcome the three princesses, but the people who came were specially named, and no fanfare was allowed, just wait quietly.

After passing the word, the person who came left, but even so, for Lin Jiasen, the chief housekeeper of the Third Princess's Mansion, that is, the dignified man, as long as it involves the matter of the third princess, there is no small matter, not to mention, the third princess was sent to a foreign country five years ago, at that time, she was still a little girl, what a thing to worry about, and now to be able to come back safely, it is really a blessing to God, where can you not treat it well?

Thinking of the word peace, a trace of gloom flashed in Lin Jiasen's eyes, he had also heard of the strange situation in Laiyang City five days ago, these days, there are constantly refugees from Laiyang City who want to pour into Qiujing City, but they are all blocked out of the city gate.

However, the government of Qiujing City also sent a large number of people to appease the people outside the city and distribute food.

According to the news spread everywhere in Qiujing City, a group of monsters came from nowhere in Laiyang City, good guys, covering the sky, but I heard that the luck of that group of monsters was very bad, just in time for the legendary law enforcement elder Lu of Sanyangmen to be in Laiyang City, and was used by Lu senior to cast an earth-shattering Yuan Law and kill all those monsters.

Therefore, today, in fact, there are no refugees outside Qiujing City, and they have all been escorted back to Laiyang City by the army discharged by the government.

It stands to reason that this is great news, but Lin Jiasen is not happy at all, he has been the chief butler of the Third Princess's Mansion for many years, and naturally has friends in the army, according to friends, today's Laiyang City has become a ruin, the most famous Laiyang City Winter Yuan Festival, I am afraid that it will not be able to live for many years in the future.

It looked like hell now, and the first people who returned to Laiyang City were stunned by the tragic situation there, even if that friend had been in the army for many years, he had participated in a lot of battles, but it was the first time that a whole city, except for the city walls, had almost all been destroyed.

However, this friend of his was only escorting the people to the periphery, and was not allowed to enter the city, and the day after hearing that something unusual had happened in Laiyang City, the palace had already sent someone to Laiyang City to check, but no one knew what he saw.

There is wind today, and winter is expected to be steep, but Lin Jiasen did not feel cold, he always felt that what happened in Laiyang City was by no means as simple as rumored, maybe after the third princess returned home, he could ask her.

Thinking of Qiushu, Lin Jiasen couldn't help but smile slightly.

In fact, he knew the news that Qiushu was coming back early on, otherwise he would not have followed the order and let those female Yanwei and Li Xinzhu, Ye Zhilan and other servants go to the Wushan Post Station to wait, but he didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Third Princess didn't know why, and suddenly changed her itinerary, and the time to return to Qiujing City was more than half a month longer than expected.

In other words, Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven has waited for more than half a month.

That is, she relied on the grace of the saint, an ordinary princess, where did she dare to have such courage, she would have been punished by Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven a long time ago.

Lin Jiasen thought about whether he had a match or not, and at the end of Jinzhi Street, three people came, all on horses, two women and one man, and at the front was a girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slightly round face.

And behind the side, there is a beautiful woman in a red suit, but there seems to be a bad aura all over her body.

Further back, there is an old man with an extremely long beard and a short stature.

Lin Jiasen's eyes lit up, although it was still far away, but on this Jinzhi Street, who dared to ride a horse except for those few, this must be Her Royal Highness the Third Princess back, he hurriedly trotted over, and behind him, the ten beautiful maids knelt down in unison and raised the plate in their hands.

Before he reached the round-faced and noble woman, Lin Jiasen knelt down, his eyes were filled with mist, and large tears flowed down like a waterline, and he began to kowtow.

While kowtowing, he choked up and said: "Old slave Lin Jiasen, welcome Her Royal Highness the Third Princess back to her home, Your Royal Highness is a thousand years old!, old slave, old slave...... The old slave thought about it day and night, and finally looked forward to His Highness's return!"

Speaking of which, Lin Jiasen was already in tears, and he couldn't cry.

The round-faced and noble woman had a solemn face, but when she saw Lin Jiasen, she also got off the horse, bent over, and helped Lin Jiasen with her own hands, and said: "Uncle Lin doesn't have to be like this, the palace should have gone back to the house a long time ago, but Uncle Lao Lin was worried." ”

Lin Jiasen vaguely glanced at the delicate fingers of the noble girl like jade, swallowed slightly, and immediately cried again: "Your Highness said so, but if you kill the old slave, how can the old slave afford it." ”

The noble girl helped her a few times, but she didn't help her up, and said with a helpless expression: "Uncle Lin, look, isn't this palace good, let's go back to the house." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Lin Jiasen stood up at this time, and said again and again: "Look at the old slave's memory, it's really too old to be a problem, and he actually let His Highness stand here for so long on such a cold day, the old slave is guilty, guilty, and should be punished!"

After he finished speaking, he wanted to reach out to help the delicate waist of the noble girl, and said, "Let the old slave serve His Highness and get on the horse." ”

The noble girl took a step back slightly, let Lin Jiasen's hand go, and said, "Don't worry about Uncle Lin himself, Uncle Lin will lead the way." ”

Lin Jiasen hurriedly withdrew his hand, his face was not unnatural at all, but he bowed down again and said, "Obey." ”

With that, he turned his head and walked all the way towards the gate of the Third Princess's Mansion.

The noble girl turned and got on her horse, and walked forward after her.

The woman in red picked up the horse to follow, but looking at Lin Jiasen's back, the anger on her delicate face was even heavier.

The old man with the long beard was expressionless, but after entering Jinzhi Street, he kept looking to both sides.

When he arrived at the gate, Lin Jiasen had already taken a white towel from a kneeling maid's plate, wrung it out, handed it to the noble woman with both hands, and said: "Your Highness, let's clean your face first, the old slave decided without authorization, and used the incense powder made from Jiang Licao, which His Highness liked the most." ”

The ten maidservants said in unison: "Welcome Your Highness back home!"

On the plate in their hands, there are a total of nine kinds of vanilla pollen, mixed with water, used to cleanse the face, have the effect of protecting the skin and carrying a natural fragrance, in the autumn capital, it is very popular with aristocratic women.

The noble woman frowned slightly and said, "Why?"

"Your Highness, there is a distinguished guest in the house, who came this morning, and said that he must see His Highness today. Lin Jiasen said.

"Who is it?"

"It was a handsome young man, when he came, he was carrying a boy who looked only seven or eight years old on his back, he had been in a coma, when he came, he was holding a Sanyang gold medal in his hand, the old slave remembered that His Royal Highness had an order, and the person holding the Sanyang gold medal was the most honored guest in the house, so the old slave let them wait in the Liuyun Hall first. The old slave was terrified, and he didn't know if His Highness was satisfied with this arrangement, if he ......"

Before Lin Jiasen finished speaking, he saw the noble girl quickly get off the horse, take the towel, wipe her face carefully, and then strode into the gate, which made Lin Jiasen stunned.

The woman in red followed into the door, Lin Jiasen originally wanted to say hello, but the woman in red snorted coldly, and walked past him in a flash, not giving him any chance to speak at all.

The old man with the long beard also followed, and Lin Jiasen didn't stop him, but when their figures were about to be gone, he said softly: "This little girl, I haven't seen her for so many years, and it's still so spicy." Hey, no, what about Li Xinzhu and Ye Zhilan's two little girls, but don't let anything happen, oh my little heart. ”

Lin Jiasen patted his chest and comforted himself, and then followed quickly.
