Tongzhou Wharf. A huge three-story chariot ship slowly docked at the royal docks, which had been tightly covered by drapes, and a carriage was waiting in the morning, surrounded by nearly a hundred royal guards.

The most conspicuous thing in the convoy is the second carriage: the first four tall horses with black bodies without half a stray hair, the carriage is also painted in black color, but the two sides are pasted with gold foil The pattern of Danfeng Chaoyang, the curtain is a thick brocade woven with gold on a black background, and a small "flat" character is woven in the upper right corner. In contrast, although the first carriage is also the same color specification, but the whole body is simple and unpretentious, even the coachman who is driving the carriage seems to be blurred, and the carriage is so pure that except for King Ye's carriage, there is no second one in the capital.

The nobles in the capital will recognize that the second carriage in the convoy is the carriage of the princess of peace in the Forbidden City, but it has disappeared for three years. Now that he has swaggered through the market again and gone straight out of the city, I don't know what kind of changes it means.

Luo Yan held Qingqing's hand and approached the carriage step by step. She only wore a simple black color beard suit, only the cuffs and placket were embroidered with gold silk phoenix patterns, and a thin layer of fat powder was applied to her face, which looked acceptable, but her eyes were still slightly red and swollen. Whether it is this dock, this car, or the air here, she has a sense of familiarity and intimacy, but she has a lot of thoughts in her heart, but she doesn't have the heart to look at it more closely.

She could naturally feel that there were two determined gazes behind her, but she did not dare to look back—the man, as if he had suddenly changed completely overnight, had always been so careful and gentle with her before, and the occasional out-of-control frenzy was always mixed with pain; But suddenly, he became so calm, his expression was firm, and his speech and demeanor were simply ...... Overbearing! He even said to the second brother, "Ah Qian, I'm going to arrange the soldiers, and she will hand it over to you for a while." "It's as if she really is already his private property!

When she got off the boat, she saw that he was calmly directing the guards on the shore to set up defenses, his voice was not loud, and there was no movement, but his whole body exuded an aura that she had never seen before, and the eyes of those guards looked at him as if they saw a god!

It wasn't until she got into the carriage that Luo Yan felt that the strangeness on her back slowly subsided. Looking at the coffee table stools that were the same as those in her memory, she finally had a little sense of reality, only to hear Qingqing beside her also let out a long sigh.

Li's mother, Dzi, got into the carriage behind, and about a quarter of an hour later, the horsewhip sounded, and the carriage moved forward smoothly. Qingqing was familiar with the road, took out a few small snacks from the case, and took out a thermos from the dark box on the right side and poured a glass of warm water. Luo Yan sighed and slowly opened the curtain on one side, behind the curtain was a special glass window - you can only look out from the inside, naturally it is someone's masterpiece. I saw that the trees outside the carriage kept retreating, and a column of guards rode solemnly with the carriage.

Really back! Luo Yan lowered her head and held her hands, and smiled silently wryly: If it weren't for that news, she would be very excited and uneasy by now. But now, she only has a dizzy feeling of looking down from dozens of floors - is she really going to marry Shantai Yangfei?

She was so stupid that she thought she still had a lot of options, such as not getting married. But even the second brother who loved her so much widened his eyes in surprise when he heard that she didn't want to get married yet: "Didn't I tell you that you will open a government and set up an official as soon as you go back?" ”

Yes, yes, I was told, is there any problem? Luo Yan was surprised. Suddenly, a vague impression came to my mind, as if Kaifu was ...... Then I heard the second brother's voice: "Luo Luo, you're not confused, are you?" The princess opened the mansion, although there were only three or two in my dynasty, but they were all according to the rules of the previous dynasty, and the opening of the fiefdom was the first etiquette on the day of the wedding. ”

Luo Yan suddenly felt a thunderbolt fall. No wonder he became angry like that after he said he wouldn't marry him, no wonder he said that he couldn't let himself marry someone else, and the diamond bracelet that "added makeup...... It turns out that everyone knows that she will get married as soon as Dayan returns - except for herself!

The words of the second brother couldn't help but echo in my mind, "I originally thought that that kid's family in Shantai was a mess, and you naturally wronged you if you wanted to marry him, but since they are so unwilling to let you go, and the court situation is like this, how many young talents are not afraid of the prince?" No matter how bad he is, at least he will protect you wholeheartedly. My father allowed him to come this time, but I was afraid that it would mean this. You might as well think about it, if you don't marry him, what other candidate is there, and if it is suitable, I will help you go to your father and tell the emperor. ”

Someone else? Luo Yan popped up a thought inexplicably, is Du Yuchen okay? At least he is in Dali, far away from his eldest brother; Besides, she is also familiar with the Du family, and she is more sure that she will survive there...... Belch? She's really crazy. It's a shame that she memorized the law for a long time and learned the government and government personnel of those days, but she even threw aside this most basic common sense! She didn't know what else to do but whip herself.

"It's time to get to the capital!" Qingqing's slightly excited voice sounded, and Luo Yan woke up from thousands of thoughts. Looking out from the window, behind the moat dozens of meters wide, stands a magnificent city tower, more than ten meters high on the city wall is a huge arrow tower about five or six stories high, you can vaguely see the three big characters of "Chaoyang Gate", the heavy eaves are raised, and the momentum is amazing - Luo Yan involuntarily held her breath, is this the old Beijing city wall that disappeared in history later? It's so spectacular! For the first time in her life, she felt a deep sense of gratitude to Comrade Yan Taizu.

The carriage did not stop, all the way across the bridge outside Chaoyang Gate, through the doorway hole of more than 20 meters under the city tower, and went straight to the Forbidden City. Luo Yan looked at the more and more familiar scenery outside the car window, and couldn't help clenching her fists tightly, obviously there was still a long way from Chaoyang Gate to the Forbidden City, but it seemed that it was just a blink of an eye, and the carriage arrived under the Forbidden City, but it did not enter the inner palace from the Xuanwu Gate in the north, but went around a whole circle before driving in from the Xihua Gate, and stopped in front of the Qianqing Gate.

Luo Yan couldn't help rolling in her heart, she had already looked in the mirror twice, straightened her clothes three times, and when the carriage stopped, she secretly cheered herself up twice, seeing that Qingqing had already picked up the carriage, took a deep breath, lowered her head and got out of the carriage, but saw that a eunuch in a gorgeous dress had already stretched out her hand to greet her, Luo Yan couldn't help but be surprised: "Father-in-law, why are you?" ”

The eunuch raised his face with a smile, it was the most powerful eunuch Desheng beside the current emperor of Dayan, Emperor Yongnian Emperor Murong Hao. Desheng said with a smile: "The emperor knew that the princess would come back today, and he had already sent me over to wait, and he sent someone to ask three times just now." ”

Luo Yan helped his hand down, his eyes couldn't help but redden, and Desheng hurriedly smiled: "On today's happy day, the princess must not lose the golden bean, otherwise the long live lord will think that the slave is not serving well, and he will not cut me off?" Have mercy on the old bones of the minions. ”

Luo Yan couldn't help but be a little funny when she heard him say pitiful. There were already guards pushing Murong Qian over, and Gonggong De hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Ye has worked hard, and the emperor is also worried about your body, and is waiting for you and the princess in He'an Palace." Let's go quickly. By the way, what about the son? Luo Yan was slightly surprised when she heard "Anhedian", and when she heard the word "Shizi", her hands couldn't help but tremble.

I heard the familiar voice sound behind him: "The emperor wants to see me?" Luo Yan couldn't help but clench Desheng's hand, but Desheng didn't realize it, only raised his head and smiled: "The emperor is very worried about the world." Luo Yan didn't dare to look over there, so she didn't squint and walked in with her father-in-law's hand.

Anhe Palace is in the middle of the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace, it was originally used by the queens of the past dynasties to hold various celebrations, because the first queen died early, and then it was not established again, and the Kunning Palace was empty. Therefore, the relevant major ceremonies are held here.

Luo Yan walked all the way in, and the eunuchs and palace maids she met on the road all stood with their hands down, and several people who looked like officials who came out of the Qianqing Palace also immediately got out of the way, Luo Yan didn't know anything, but Murong Qian nodded to two of them. Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the Anhe Palace, Luo Yan was nervous, and her palms couldn't help sweating slightly.

Desheng hurriedly smiled: "Princess, guess, who else is waiting for you in the palace?" Luo Yan shook her head. Desheng smiled and said: "Concubine Jing and the four princes are all inside." Luo Yan immediately had a meaty dough in her mind, and she couldn't help laughing: "Is Ji Xiang'er also there?" He's grown up a lot, hasn't he? Desheng said with a smile: "The four princes have been enlightened, and they have to go to the study every day, and today I heard that the princess is back, and I begged the emperor to wait for you to come." Luo Yan's mind couldn't help but be full of pictures of playing with this little ball every day, her eyes were hot, and she was busy and desperately held back.

As soon as he walked to the foot of the white marble steps, a eunuch ran over and said, "The emperor has explained, please ask the princess and King Ye to go directly to the east hall, and the prince please wait for a while." Luo Yan didn't dare to think about it, gritted her teeth, and was led up the steps by Desheng. The two guards over there came up to support Murong Qian, and they also walked all the way.

Stepping through the side door and walking towards the side hall, Luo Yan only felt that her heart was pounding, her hands and feet were cold, but fortunately, Desheng's hands were always stable and dry, as if there was a heat coming, Luo Yan glanced at the old eunuch gratefully, and mustered up the courage to walk in.

But in the half-light and half-dark hall, a figure with a golden belt stood up, Luo Yan looked at the majestic and thin familiar face, couldn't help but have a sour nose freely, walked over a few steps, pulled the corner of his clothes and knelt on the ground, and choked up: "Father, my daughter is back." ”

Yongnian Emperor Murong Hao looked at the slender and thin hand that grabbed the corner of his robe, and he could no longer see the small vortices in his memory on the back of his hand, and his heart involuntarily softened, and he couldn't say anything more with a "You are still willing to come back", and sighed: "It's good to come back." Thinking about the cold on the ground, he said to Desheng: "Don't you help the princess sit down?" ”

Here Desheng hurriedly helped Luo Yan to a small soft stool set up on the side, Luo Yan couldn't hold back her tears for a while, choked up, Yongnian looked at her familiar look of sobbing and choking, as well as the thin little face, and felt more and more unbearable, and the lesson that I had thought of couldn't help but turn into a sigh: "Ji Xiang'er, this is the sister peace you are worried about." ”

As soon as Luo Yan raised her eyes, she saw a five or six-year-old little man like a jade carving walking in front of her, looked at herself curiously, but saluted one by one: "Xiang'er has seen Sister Ping'an." ”

Luo Yan couldn't help but take him in her arms, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but tears rolled down. The little man was fragrant and soft, and there was still a faint milky fragrance in his memory, and he didn't struggle when he was hugged by her, but said: "Sister, don't be sad, Xiang'er will play with you every day in the future." Luo Yan only felt that her heart was about to melt. Emperor Yongnian couldn't help but laugh as well.

After half a ring, Luo Yan wiped away her tears, let go of Xiao Jixiang, and took a sachet from her waist and stuffed it into his hand: "This is a gadget that my sister specially bought for you." Xiao Jixiang's eyes showed curiosity, but he still thanked him in a proper manner, and then solemnly put it in his arms.

Only then did Luo Yan stand up and give a big salute to Emperor Yongnian again, and then turned back to Concubine Jing, who was sitting on the side and smiled silently, and Concubine Jing took her hand and said softly: "But the road is hard?" How did you lose weight like this? The voice was as gentle as water as before, Luo Yan looked up at her concerned eyes, thinking of her plea back then, her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

Emperor Yongnian sighed slightly in his heart, asked Murong Qian a little about some affairs along the way, and then said gently: "Concubine Jing, you take the princess to your Changchun Palace to rest for a while." Ji Xiang'er, you should remember to go to the study after you have dinner with your mother and sister. ”

Several people responded, and Luo Yan followed Concubine Jing out, but heard the majestic voice of Emperor Yongnian behind her: "Xuanyutai flew in." ”
