The sky was slightly bright, and there was a rush of horses' hooves outside the imperial capital.

The leader was wrapped in a black cloak, and it was clear that he had entered the early summer season, and everyone had changed into cooler summer clothes, but this man hated to put on warm winter clothes.

"Brother!" The pale blue figure following behind her rode to her side and asked worriedly, "It's already in the imperial capital, you can slow down." ”

The man responded with a satisfied smile, but instead of stopping his movements, he whipped the horse faster.

Her weak body could barely withstand the bumps on the horse's back, Xiao Shaokang frowned, but still followed. From his point of view as a doctor, Du Yunjin is very unsuitable to appear here at this time, her body has lost a lot due to "dream break", and she has gradually improved through his conditioning over the years, but she was seriously injured on the battlefield before, and he finally persuaded her to recuperate in bed for more than ten days, and as soon as she could get out of bed, she confessed to Rong Jingcheng and wanted to return to the imperial capital in advance.

He knew what she was worried about, and he also knew that there was only one person in her heart from beginning to end, but he still couldn't let go of his hand, and he still followed her back to Beijing with her. The familiar bitterness stirred in his heart again, Xiao Shaokang lowered his head and smiled at such a stupid self.

It's almost there.

The majestic building was hidden in the faint sunlight, and she had never felt anything good about it, but here lived the person she cared about.

Ayu, she's back, she's back after destroying the Yiren.

The joy was obvious on her face, she returned to Beijing ahead of schedule regardless of it, just to see him as soon as possible, to see him well, and to go to Dongwu Mountain with him to see the blooming peach blossoms. His peach blossom picture was carried by her, and she refused to leave her for a moment.

The excerpt of the victory in southern Xinjiang has long been sent back to the imperial capital, and since Xiao Shaokang left, the emperor has been in a bad mood day by day when he heard the war report, and he personally wrote a reply, allowing Rong Jingcheng to enter Beijing to receive the reward, and Changdao County also assigned Neng Chen to appease him.

The army pulled out the camp, and the march was naturally not as fast as a single horse. Although Rong Jingcheng's army was already well-trained, he didn't know if it was the burnout period after the victory, and the march was extremely slow, which made Du Yunjin unable to sit still anymore. She mentioned to Rong Jingcheng several times and asked her to enter Beijing first, but Rong Jingcheng refused on the grounds that he was injured and had not recovered. As a last resort, she left a letter to Rong Jingcheng and left the army to return to Beijing without permission. Early the next morning, Rong Jingcheng was made to cry and laugh by her farewell letter, so he had to ask Xiao Shaokang to chase after him with a few personal soldiers.

After a few months of absence from the imperial capital, there is a sense of intimacy everywhere, and she feels like a person who has been wandering for many years and finally returned home.

The guard of Xuancheng Gate seemed to have changed people, and he didn't know her or Xiao Shaokang, and finally relied on Xiao Shaokang's pass token to let the two enter the palace. Ling Dan didn't follow, no matter how strong she was, she was only a weak woman, she couldn't withstand Du Yunjin's bumps day and night, and she was originally a maid bought by Rong Jingcheng, so there was no reason to call Du Yunjin again. Several pro-soldiers were stopped and waited outside the Xuanwu Gate.

"Ninth brother, you should also go to Qiwu Palace to meet your mother." After the warm spring gate, Du Yunjin stopped running all the way and said with a light smile to Xiao Shaokang.

Xiao Shaokang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. This time when he returned to Beijing, he should see his father and emperor first, and his mother and queen mother, there is no reason to see Xiao Yu first, and this is the meeting of husband and wife after a long absence, there must be many intimate words to say, it is not convenient for him to be present after all.

But......

Xiao Shaokang looked at Du Yunjin who was in joy, but some words were in his throat but he couldn't spit them out.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Du Yunjin raised his eyebrows, looked at him and asked silently, "Why don't you leave?" ”

"Brother......" Before his words fell, he was stabbed by Du Yunjin, so he had to change his words halfway and continue: "Sister-in-law, I should accompany you back to the East Palace." ”

"Accompany me back to the East Palace?" Du Yunjin suddenly laughed, the East Palace is not a Longtan Tiger's Den, why should she be accompanied by him to go back. didn't allow her to say anything, Xiao Shaokang made up his mind to take the lead and walked towards the East Palace.

Du Yunjin looked at the figure that walked upright, and smiled helplessly. They are really brothers, and sometimes they are all the same stubbornness.

After grinding in Xuanwumen for a period of time, all parts of the palace at this time had begun to operate in an orderly manner. The same is true in the East Palace, where the palace doors are opened early, and the palace people in charge of cleaning are sprinkling water to sweep the ground.

Seeing Du Yunjin and Xiao Shaokang coming over, he was stunned for a moment, and then he trembled and called: "Crown princess? ”

In the end, it is her own family, and the people of the East Palace at least recognize her, but is she so difficult to recognize? She involuntarily touched her face, she paid attention on the battlefield, she had never broken her face.

"The crown princess."

When she stepped into the palace gate, the palace people in the courtyard heard Fang Cai's call and knelt on both sides of the road in unison. She was used to life in the army, and she was a little uncomfortable in the face of the grand occasion in front of her.

"Mother."

The woman in the pale pink dress trotted all the way from the inner court to the courtyard and stopped in front of her. She looked at it and it turned out to be Ruyu. "Ruyu."

"The slave has seen the mother." Compared with her excitement, Ruyu was very indifferent and saluted her in a proper manner.

"Where is the prince at the moment?" She asked softly, and she hurried back day and night, just to see him.

The answer that should have been smooth became slurred in Ruyu's mouth, Du Yunjin looked at her suspiciously, Ruyu is an old man in the palace, and she has always been very well-behaved and behaved, how could it become like this this time?

Du Yunjin's eyes looked at the pale pink dress on her body from Ruyu's lowered head, the palace maids all have a uniform supply of clothing, and the colors on weekdays are mostly light blue and light green, and only the pale pink dress will be worn on New Year's Festival or festive days. It's early summer, it's not the New Year's festival and there are no festive days, why is she dressed like this?

She looked at the kneeling people in the courtyard again, the palace maids were also wearing pale pink dresses like jade, and the attendants had also changed into dark clothes. This kind of outfit seems to be familiar.

She looked up sharply at the eaves on the side of the courtyard, and the strings of red lanterns turned red in front of her eyes, swallowing her up clean.

No wonder it seems familiar, when she and Xiao Yu got married, these people were dressed like this, and the courtyard of the East Palace was hung with red lanterns.
