Leaving the post station, Ning Bosheng and the others continued to hurry, without stopping on the way, and finally arrived in the capital within the planned time.

Zhu Yuan was very curious about what the ancient capital looked like, and poked his head out to see, and in the distance was the towering city gate, standing tall, and a human figure could be vaguely seen.

Even before entering the city, Zhu Yuan felt the majesty coming to his face.

She couldn't wait to get out of the carriage and appreciate the uniqueness of the capital.

Ning Bosheng saw that she was happy, and a smile appeared on his face, but he stopped her from getting out of the carriage, "Not yet, I will take you out to play when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Zhu Yuan was puzzled, "Why can't it be now?" She tilted her head and thought for a long time, "Is there anything else that can't be done?" ”

"Not really." Ning Bosheng still smiled, and looked into the distance with sharp eyes, "When I returned to Beijing this time, my father brought a large army to greet him outside the city, and he has forbidden inconsequential people from entering and leaving the city gate. ”

"I see." Zhu Yuan was afraid of embarrassing Ning Bosheng, so he didn't move anymore and sat obediently in the carriage.

An ordinary carriage gradually entered the field of vision of the army and the emperor, and then I saw Ning Bosheng get out of the carriage and strode to the emperor to salute, "Erchen is fortunate not to be dishonored, and the Taihe famine has been resolved." ”

The emperor said several "good" in a row, and personally reached out to help Ning Bosheng up, "He is worthy of being my King Rui, and he is born to bring auspicious energy." ”

"The famine in Taihe can be solved so quickly, and there is one person who has contributed a lot." Ning Bosheng wanted to take the opportunity to let them know about Zhu Yuan's existence.

When the emperor was happy, he naturally agreed to everything. And the person who had contributed greatly to the famine immediately urged him, "Can you bring people back to the capital?" ”

"Brought it back." Ning Bosheng nodded, "Father, wait a while, and the son will bring her to meet the saint." ”

Because there was no emperor's permission before, Ning Bosheng asked Zhu Yuan to wait in the carriage first to avoid more trouble.

He went over in person and took Zhu Yuan's hand down. This scene shocked everyone. No one in the capital knows that King Rui has long reached the age of marriage, but he has never seen a woman around him, let alone carefully protecting a girl like now.

Zhu Yuan can't read minds, and he doesn't know those different thoughts. It was the first time she had seen this kind of battle, and she was a little nervous. Fortunately, Ning Bosheng has been holding her hand firmly, which has given her a sense of security to a large extent, so that she will not be rude.

Ning Bosheng led the person to the emperor and solemnly introduced, "This is the person who has been helping his sons." ”

The emperor didn't expect it to be a woman, squinting his eyes. Zhu Yuan was slow and half-beaten, and finally remembered that she had forgotten to salute, no wonder the waiter behind her looked at her so strangely.

She learned what she remembered and made a nondescript salute.

"Where did the country girl come from, not only did she not kneel when she saw His Majesty, but she also dared to look at her." There are people who are dissatisfied with Ning Bosheng, and they immediately found fault with Zhu Yuan.

Ning Bosheng held his hand tightly, and spoke for her, "Zhu Yuan grew up in a small town, and he has never seen Tianyan, so he was scared for a while. ”

The emperor was still happy, he didn't seem angry, and kindly let Zhu Yuan stand up.

"You're a medicine girl?" The emperor's expression is unpredictable.

Zhu Yuan shook his head and denied, "I am proficient in dishes and am a cook. ”

The answer was fluent, and he was not timid, and now he was just a cook who was not a threat, the emperor was willing to give Ning Bosheng face, and smiled at Zhu Yuan, "To be able to help King Rui in the epidemic and famine, it is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows." ”

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside the city, so it's better to go back to the imperial city first." The discerning minister spoke at the right time, "Besides, the prince should go back to the house to rest after a tiring journey." "The people who can come out with the emperor today are all ministers who speak in the court, so the mighty procession entered the city, and the streets were lined with kneeling people, and the scene was very spectacular.

Ning Bosheng did not enter the palace directly, but brought Zhu Yuan back to the Ruiwang Mansion.

The housekeeper in the house stood at the door early and waited, and when he saw that the prince had brought a girl back, he gently and carefully led the person down from the carriage, and suddenly looked at Zhu Yuan with wide eyes, and there was a faint relief on his face.

Ning Bosheng told the housekeeper about Zhu Yuan's identity, and asked him to go down to arrange a place to live.

The housekeeper pondered his tone and asked tentatively, "The old slave went to clean up the Liuhe Courtyard, what does the prince think?" ”

It stands to reason that Zhu Yuan should be arranged in the guest house. The lotus house was left by the palace to the hostess, and the housekeeper wanted to figure out Ning Bosheng's thoughts, so as not to make mistakes in the subsequent arrangements.

Ning Bosheng nodded in agreement, which was tantamount to acquiescing to the fact that the girl in front of him was their future princess.

The butler was so happy that he smiled with a wrinkle on his face.

"There is a celebration banquet in the palace in the evening, will you go with me?" Although it was a question, it was in a non-negotiable tone.

Ning Bosheng wanted everyone to know about Zhu Yuan's existence, and he also had a plan in his heart to surprise her.

"Celebration feast? Will it seem abrupt if I go? "Because she can't be called a family member now, there is really no reason.

Ning Bosheng rubbed her long black hair, "Don't worry, you go to the Liuhe Courtyard to rest for a while, and I'll have someone bring the clothes you wear later,"

"Okay." Zhu Yuan could only nod in agreement, and at the same time asked Ning Bosheng about etiquette, she didn't want to make a fool of herself again.

When Zhu Yuan woke up, it was already red outside, and it was about to get dark. Before she could speak, a round-faced maid stood respectfully in front of her with a gorgeous dress, "Girl, the celebration banquet is about to begin." ”

Zhu Yuan, who had just woken up, was a little confused, and only reacted after a while, staring at the two strange maids who appeared in the room with a puzzled face.

"Slave and maid Liuhe." Ruhe is a round-faced girl who speaks. "Slaves listen to the rain."

Zhu Yuan listened to their slaves and maids coming to the slaves, but he didn't adapt to them, and said while combing her hair, "I don't have so many rules, so I don't need to be so careful." Don't kneel down at every turn. ”

"We remember." A crisp sound rang out at the same time.

Zhu Yuan half-squinted his eyes, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

After the half-pillar incense passed, Liuhe finally finished tinkering, took out the skirt that Ning Bosheng had prepared a long time ago, and changed it for Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan's skin set off by the red skirt is as white as snow, and her head is a simple hairpin, without too much decoration, which makes her look both dignified and energetic.

Liuhe listened to the rain with admiration in his eyes, "I wish the girl the most beautiful tonight." ”

"yes, yes, it's hard to take your eyes off."

Zhu Yuan felt that they were too exaggerated, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Ning Bosheng's footsteps, so he turned back with a smile.
