From Jing Jing and Xiao Changyi's residence to the imperial capital, under normal circumstances, it takes more than a month to ride a carriage and about twenty days to ride a horse.

And even if it is 800 miles expedited, it will take four or five days.

If Xiao Changyi rides alone day by day, day and night, even if he can travel thousands of miles a day, it will take three days to reach the imperial capital.

The day when Quiet and Xiao Changyi set off for Beijing was August 20, and Emperor Xiyun's birthday was on September 12, which was only 21 days in between, Quiet and Xiao Changyi couldn't play all the way to Dijing, but they didn't want to work so hard day and night, Emperor Xiyun's birthday was 21 days later, and it was not so urgent at all, so Quiet and Xiao Changyi planned to rush during the day and rest at night.

Not only do they rest, but they also want to let the war horse rest and rest.

Although Jing Jing has learned to ride a horse, it is still very tiring to travel every day for the first time. Especially the two legs, which are extremely sore, and they don't feel like they are their own.

And every night, Xiao Changyi will help Quiet rub his legs to make Quiet feel better.

Quiet felt that this was the same as her first military training, she was tired to death in the first few days, but then she got used to it, and she was not so tired, and her two legs were probably adapted to always riding a horse, ten days later, Quiet only felt a little tired, but her legs were not so sore.

Even, there is no need for Xiao Changyi to help her rub her legs at night.

Day by day is worthy of being a war horse that can travel thousands of miles, even if you don't rush at night, you can rest for a while at noon, it is faster than ordinary horses, it doesn't take twenty days at all, and it only takes fifteen days to reach the imperial capital.

didn't play on the road, and Emperor Xiyun's birthday was still six days later, Xiao Changyi was not in a hurry to enter the palace to see Emperor Xiyun, so he said to Xiao Changyi last night, first find an inn to live in the imperial capital, and the two of them have a good time in the imperial capital for a few days, and then enter the palace.

In fact, the Changsheng Mansion has already been built.

However, because Xiao Changyi was once in Beijing for a year and was left in the palace by Emperor Xiyun, Xiao Changyi has not yet entered the Changsheng Palace.

Now I don't live in the palace but in the inn, just because, according to Xiao Changyi's understanding of Emperor Xiyun, he has just entered the Changsheng Palace, and Emperor Xiyun on the back foot will definitely learn the news and let people come to summon them to live in the palace.

It's just that Xiao Changyi still underestimated how happy Emperor Xiyun was about to come

Xiao Changyi and Jing Jing rode day by day, and before they arrived at the gate of the Imperial Capital City, General He, the general who guarded the Imperial Capital City, had already led people to wait at the gate of the Imperial Capital City for a long time.

As soon as he saw Xiao Changyi and quiet, General He led people to salute extremely respectfully: "The last general will see the prince and the princess." ”

General He actually didn't know Quiet, but Emperor Xiyun said that Xiao Changyi would bring his daughter-in-law with him, Meng Zhuqing he knew, and there were no other women together, so it can be seen that the person who sat in front of Xiao Changyi and rode the same horse with Xiao Changyi was Princess Changsheng.

"Lord Wang," General He continued respectfully, "the emperor has already ordered the general to wait here a month and a half ago, and the emperor hopes that as soon as the prince arrives in the imperial capital, he will enter the palace to reunite with him. ”

A month and a half ago

Isn't that Emperor Xiyun sent someone to guard him as soon as he knew that her father-in-law was going to Beijing to see him?

Quiet, sweaty.

Xiao Changyi's face was expressionless: "Let him wait." ”

Except for his daughter-in-law, he doesn't like people to change his itinerary casually, he now wants to stay in an inn with his daughter-in-law, and then have a good time in the imperial capital for a few days before entering the palace.
