After the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, Jiang Yichen dismissed some of his subordinates, and only set off with a dozen or so entourage.

On the way, Cheng Qingyue lifted the curtain, looked at Cangzhou City farther and farther behind her, and felt nostalgic in her heart, this is the place where she has lived for nine years, and it is also the place where she knows Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Yichen understood her thoughts and clasped her hand to show comfort.

At the end of the convoy, Xiao Junyan rode his horse slowly, looked behind him from time to time, and walked for thirty miles before he quickly caught up with the convoy in front, changed his horse, and got into the carriage.

Cheng Qingyue asked: "Xiao Gongzi turned back in three steps today, and looked at one in five steps, could it be that someone is waiting for?"

Xiao Junyan sneered: "What's the matter? I just miss Cangzhou and want to take a closer look. ”

Jiang Yichen's eyes opened slightly: "Since Brother Xiao is difficult to give up his homeland, why don't you turn back and continue to be your free son, why go to the capital with me to wade through the troubled waters?"

Xiao Junyan waved his hand and said: "Brother Jiang's words are bad, although the homeland is good, close friends are rare, if you leave, this Cangzhou City will lose a lot of color, what fun is there for me to stay here?"

Jiang Yichen stopped answering, closed his eyes, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

After a month of turbulence, everyone finally arrived at the imperial capital.

At this time, outside the gate tower of the imperial capital, in the bustling flow of people, a young man in his twenties stood on the side of the road, poking his head out from time to time and looking anxiously into the distance.

He saw a convoy of horses and carts not far away, and almost ran over in a rushing posture.

"Sixth brother!" Seeing Jiang Yichen get out of the carriage, the man rushed forward and hugged him.

"Seventh brother, long time no see!" Jiang Yichen smiled and patted Jiang Yicheng's shoulder, and after he was emotionally stable, he helped him away, "It's such an adult, it's still a child's heart."

Jiang Yicheng still couldn't hide his excitement, "I'm so excited, sixth brother, do you know, I've been waiting for this day for eighteen years, sixth brother, you really didn't lie to me, you're back!" ”

Jiang Yichen looked at the unfamiliar but familiar city gate in front of him and said, "Yes, I'm back."

Jiang Yicheng said: "Sixth brother, do you know, since I parted eighteen years ago, I have been looking forward to the sixth brother coming back every day, and I am really happy after learning that my father and the emperor have issued a holy decree to summon the sixth brother back, and so is my mother, she recites and prays every day, looking forward to the safe return of the sixth brother."

"Concubine Hui is okay?"

"Well, the mother concubine is very good, she, like me, often thinks about the sixth brother."

After Jiang Yicheng finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Qingyue next to him, and said happily: "You are Sister Yue, I have long heard the sixth brother talk about you." ”

Cheng Qingyue smiled and acquiesced.

"Sister Yue is beautiful and refined, but she is full of heroism, no wonder the sixth brother is so concerned." Jiang Yicheng praised from the bottom of his heart.

Cheng Qingyue said embarrassedly: "The Seventh Prince praised it falsely."

Jiang Yicheng retorted: "How can there be? The person who can make the sixth brother worry will not be simple. ”

After listening to this, Cheng Qingyue smiled and stopped talking.

"Hey, what about me?" Xiao Junyan on the side was anxious.

"Who is this?" Jiang Yicheng looked at the sixth brother.

Xiao Junyan jumped to his feet angrily: "Okay, you guy who is heavy on sex and light on friends, I came all the way to this capital with you, and you are all brothers and sisters-in-law, where do you put me Xiao Junyan."

Jiang Yichen seemed to be used to seeing him like this, so he just introduced lightly: "This is Xiao Junyan."

Jiang Yicheng hugged his fists and saluted: "It turned out to be Xiao Gongzi."

Xiao Junyan was incredulous: "That's it?"

Jiang Yichen looked at him with an expression on his face: "What does Brother Xiao want?"

"At least you have to introduce that I am a jade tree in the wind, chic, affectionate and righteous, and loved ......by everyone."

Before he could finish speaking, the group had already blended into the flow of people entering the city.

"Hey, hey, I'm not done yet, why are you all gone?" Xiao Junyan shouted from behind.

After entering the city, Jiang Yichen did not delay and went straight to the palace.

In the solemn and solemn Changsheng Palace, after eighteen years, Jiang Yichen saw his father again, King Jiang. is different from the thin and majestic father in his impression, he is now a little blessed, his temples are a little gray, and his eyes have lost the look of the year when he pointed out the country, replaced by a long-term pampered and peaceful one.

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"Is it Chen'er?" King Jiang looked at the people kneeling in front of the palace, a little afraid to recognize each other, when Chen'er left Beijing was only eight years old, more than ten years have passed, his appearance has changed a lot, however, he looked carefully again, and finally saw the shadow of Concubine Xian from his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed His Royal Highness the King of Jing'an." Fan Wenzhong, the eunuch beside him, reminded.

"It's really you, Chen'er!"

Seeing that the emperor got up, Fan Wenzhong hurriedly supported him and came to His Highness.

King Jiang helped Jiang Yichen up and said happily: "Chen'er, you are so old, you see, your father is also old."

Jiang Yichen was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to the days when his father loved him. Once, he was the favorite son of his father, he personally taught him to read, taught him archery, he took him hunting, and taught him the way to be a king.

He also said, Chen'er, my father has pinned all his hopes on you.

Life was a wonderful time, but it's all gone.

Jiang Yichen replied modestly: "My father is in the prime of spring and autumn, and his sons are still very immature, and there are still many places that need to be taught by my father in the future."

"Chen'er, you look more and more like your mother, when I see you, I feel like I saw the regret of the year, but unfortunately, she went early." Thinking of Concubine Xian, King Jiang was a little sad.

Jiang Yichen comforted: "Please take care of your father's body, if the mother concubine knows in the spirit of heaven that her father is so concerned, she will not want her father to be sad."

King Jiang was pleased, "My father knows that you have filial piety, and you are as understanding as your mother." When the emperor was suffering from a serious disease, your mother insisted on going to the fiefdom, saying that the environment there was quiet and would be very beneficial to your condition, and my father let you go. ”

Jiang Yichen replied: "Thanks to the blessing of my father, after my son arrived in Cangzhou, he met a miracle doctor with exquisite medical skills, and after years of treatment, although it has not been eradicated, it has been much better."

King Jiang's eyes overflowed with joy: "So very good, this time the Cangzhou flood, the history of Cangzhou Thorn has been reported, it is the emperor's plan to curb the flood, and for the father to listen to your seventh brother, it is also your idea to recommend Yang Jingye to resist the enemy, the emperor is really smart and wise, and the father did not misunderstand you back then."

Jiang Yichen said: "Thank you for your father's praise, Erchen has been an idle prince in Cangzhou all these years, and he has read a lot of books, so he was lucky to come up with a strategy to fight floods, as for General Yang, Erchen saw him for a few years when he was young, and knew that he was a pillar of talent, so he rashly asked the seventh brother to recommend him to lead the army, and asked his father to atone for his sins."

King Jiang waved his hand and said: "The emperor has made miraculous contributions for my Jiang Guoguo, what is the crime, it is too late for the father to reward you, and when Yang Jingye returns, I will reward them together."

Jiang Yichen thanked: "Thank you father, my son has been blessed to be able to return to the capital this time, and I am grateful in my heart, and I don't want to be rewarded."

"My son is humble, okay, you are running all the way, you must be tired, my father has ordered the Ministry of Works to renovate the Jing'an Palace two months ago, the emperor went back to rest earlier, and tomorrow I will go to your imperial grandmother to say goodbye, she is very happy to hear that you are back."

"Yes, Erchen also misses the imperial grandmother too."
