The team finally arrived at the royal capital safely and safely, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate wanted to stop and question, but as soon as they saw the Dingnan Wangfu signs hanging at the four corners of the carriage, they immediately let them go, "Give way ahead!" Give way ahead! ”

"Lord Shenyang, you ......" finally came back, and before he could say a few words, there was a neat sound of horses' hooves not far away.

Everyone looked behind them, and an ivory flag embroidered with the word "Wen" in gold thread slowly came from behind, and the flagpole was decorated with white ivory. It was rare for Ah Yu to show such a cunning smile on his face, and he got out of the carriage and stopped in front of the boss's tall black horse, "I heard that the prince was triumphant, and the little girl was not very happy, so she came to present this dagger." ”

It was a precious dagger with white jade as the handle and gold wire as the sheath, and the moment the flannel cloth was lifted, the people around were all amazed.

"Finally willing to come back from your little nest?" King Dingnan's eyes were full of his father's doting on his daughter, and after getting off the horse, he ordered someone to present all the treasures he had found outside in the past few months, "Come on, come on, good girl choose first, but I don't think your two brothers dare to fight with you." ”

Ah Yu didn't even look at those treasures, and hugged his father's arm, "My father has already found a lot of these things for my daughter, and my father's safe return is the best gift for Ah Yu." ”

"Hahahaha! It's really a good daughter of my father, but my father has to enter the palace to face the saint at this time, otherwise Ah Yu will go with him? If you want to come, the emperor must miss you. "The emperor really cherishes his niece, even more than many of his own children.

Ah Yu thought for a while, but decided not to go first, "My daughter should go back to the house to meet her mother first, I haven't returned for a year, and my mother must miss me too." ”

"That's fine." King Dingnan touched his daughter's head with a loving face, "It's good to come back, don't quarrel with your mother this time." ”

He knew that his daughter's temperament was as strong as her mother's, and he only hoped that his wife would figure it out and stop forcing her daughter to do what she didn't want to do.

Ah Yu looked at the two paper lanterns in front of the mansion with the four characters of Dingnan Wangfu written on them, as if he was in a different world, "Mother, I'm back." ”

Before he stepped into the door, the porter hurriedly stepped forward to salute as soon as he saw someone, "Miss, you're back!" Then he ran to the house without looking back, "Madam! Miss Yuan is back! Miss Yuan is back! ”

Only the descendants of the Dingnan Royal Mansion will call Ah Yu Miss Yuan, and Yuan is the name, which means longevity.

Princess Dingnan comes from a famous family and is dignified and dignified, but when facing her daughter who has not seen her for more than a year, she is just an ordinary mother, where are there parents who don't care for their children.

The teacup in his hand slipped to the ground, and he couldn't care so much about the tea splashing his shoes and socks, "Yuan'er, you're finally willing to come back......"

"Do you really hate your mother so much? In the past year, you have never written a letter to your mother...... "Princess Dingnan hid her face and wept, her tears were pitiful.

Wen Yuan couldn't bear to see his mother like this, so he knelt in front of his mother with a long swing and bowed his head, "My daughter is not filial, but my daughter really can't bear the things that my mother and concubine do without regard to her daughter's wishes." ”

Princess Dingnan's frustration hit her heart, and she finally sat down in a chair after taking a few steps back, "Okay...... Well, since that's the case, the mother won't force you anymore...... May you not regret every decision you make. ”

For the first time, she felt that she had failed as a mother, and it turned out that what she expected was never what her daughter really wanted.

"Thank you, Concubine Xie." When the sound fell, Wen Yuan stood up from the ground and walked to his mother's side, and comforted her with kind words: "My daughter has grown up, and my mother can also try to let her daughter choose her own path." ”

The woman didn't look over her head and didn't want to look at her daughter, "It's hard to travel, you go back to the room to rest first." ”

Seeing his mother like this, Wen Yuan didn't want to say anything, and when he turned around to go back to the room, he saw the porter hurriedly running in from outside to report, "Madam! Ling Gongzi is also back! ”

Hearing that Ling Wufeng had returned from study, Princess Dingnan happily got up to greet her. This child was also brought up by her, and Wen Yuan was a childhood sweetheart.

"Auntie!" The man who came in front of him was refreshing and handsome, the azure robe was very flattering to his white face, and his thick eyelashes made even Wen Yuan a woman jealous when she saw it, "Yuan'er is also back!" ”

He didn't know that Princess Dingnan was worried about his marriage to Wen Yuan, so he treated Wen Yuan as if she was that eccentric sister.

I haven't seen my cousin who I liked to pester with when I was a child for so long, I still miss it in my heart, and I can't care about those lady etiquette, so I threw myself into Ling Wufeng's arms without saying a word, "Cousin! Yuan'er misses you so much, why did you go to study for so many years before you came back..."

Although Ling Wufeng had the intention to remind her to pay attention to the difference between men and women, the action of hugging still betrayed herself, "My cousin is not talented enough, and he was kept by the mountain chief and didn't let me down." ”

"If my cousin Wufeng is still not talented, then wouldn't all the people in this world be stupid and stupid like pigs." Wen Yuan has liked to stick to Ling Wufeng since she was a child, but that doesn't mean that she has to marry him when she grows up, isn't it good to be a brother and sister like this for the rest of her life, why do elders always like to make simple emotions so complicated.

"Okay, okay, cousin, let's go and rest, let's talk about it at dinner." Wen Yuan urged Ling Wufeng to go back to his own courtyard to rest, his eyes glancing at his mother. Seeing that his mother did not react, he breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that she would mention her marriage to her cousin.

At this time, the king of Dingnan had already arrived in front of the emperor, "This is a letter entrusted to me by the Empress Dowager of the Kingdom to the Holy Lord." ”

The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom and the King of Dingnan are siblings of the same mother, and he is more concerned about his brother's body than this letter, "Brother Xian has worked hard in the battle, sit down quickly, didn't you say it, you don't have to kneel." ”

"The monarch and the ministers come first, and the ministers dare not lose their honor in front of the emperor." Having said that, King Dingnan still sat down in his robe in front of everyone.

"I heard that Yuan'er has also returned from the fiefdom?" The emperor liked Wen Yuan very much, even better than his own child, and when he heard the eunuch mention it, he didn't believe it at first.

Until King Dingnan nodded to confirm the news, Long Yan Dayue, "Okay, okay, this kid Yuan'er went to the fiefdom to stay for a year, and finally came back." ”

*

It was only a month since he returned to the capital, but during this month, Wen Yuan participated in various banquets, large and small.

"I'm dying of exhaustion! Yes! "She didn't like this kind of occasion in the first place, and she was about to be tortured by the palace banquet and went crazy.

Especially as the county lord, she has to maintain her demeanor and elegance at all times, and deal with those flattering people, this kind of life really makes her feel that her life is being wasted, so she likes to stay in Feihua City, unrestrained and free.

Today is the flower-viewing banquet held in the Queen's Palace, the princesses and the ladies from famous families, all dressed up in flowers.

Only Wen Yuan, who is obviously a great beauty, wears either a cyan dress or a light blue dress all day long, and the whole person is as pure as a lotus flower blooming alone.

Although Wen Yuan is low-key and doesn't like this kind of lively occasion, no one will despise her.

"The county lord of Shenyang is wearing a plain white dress today, which is very elegant." She just stood as usual, and someone would take the initiative to talk to her.

But...... Who is this man?

Wen Yuan searched quickly in his mind, but found no such person.

The woman's almost indifferent expression frustrated the woman a little, "Well, thank you." ”

That's it?

And that's the end?

The woman repeatedly struggled in her heart to say more, but she couldn't stand the way the county lord of Sunyang ignored them.

"That...... My brother is ...... Jiang Feng. The girl's hands clutched her dress tightly, burying her head and not daring to look at Wen Yuan.

When it comes to Jiang Feng, Wen Yuan seems to have some impressions, oh! I remembered that it was the man who came to the door to ask for marriage mentioned by my mother.

"If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, the lord of this county likes straightforward people." Wen Yuan really didn't want to fight with her like this, so he said that he would finish it early.

Seeing that she was so straightforward, the girl no longer squirmed, "That's right, what I think is... Since you're about to marry my brother, can you let me stay in your county lord's mansion for a while......"

？？？

Yes?

What's going on with this girl?

When am I going to marry your brother? Wen Yuan thought to himself.

Wen Yuan's face was ugly, and everyone around him could see it, but this girl continued to say without looking at her face: "I... The family also arranged for me a man, but I didn't want to ......."

It turned out to be sisters who were in the same condition.

"Your brother and I don't want to get married, but if you don't want to get involved in those things, the county lord's mansion welcomes you to come and live."

Although it was the first time for the two to meet, Wen Yuan felt empathy for her, so he was willing to help.

The girl was a little surprised by this, "But didn't you say that you wouldn't marry my brother?" Why are you still willing to help me? ”

"Hmm... Because I don't like my family arranging family affairs for me, I can understand you. ”

The two of them also knew each other, Jiang Mian was grateful in his heart, and bowed to Wen Yuan Yingying, his face was full of joy, "Really...... Thank you. ”

The queen noticed the two people who had been whispering in the back, and beckoned Wen Yuan to come over, "I finally came back from Feihua City, I haven't seen you for a year, and Yuan Yuan is much more beautiful." ”

"It's not as good as Niangniang, your country is beautiful, is Brother Yunchu better? Why don't you see him. "Yun Chu mentioned in Wen Yuan's mouth is the second son of the queen, and he is also the best with her.

"Yun Chu, now that I have a sweetheart, I may accompany the beautiful woman in the Imperial Garden."

It seems that the queen mother is very satisfied with her son's sweetheart, and her expression has softened.

Wen Yuan used to like Wen Yunchu for a while when he was ignorant, but it was only for a short time, and when he asked today, he just remembered the past and cared about it.

It's not that I have any illusions about him.

And when he heard that Yun Chu had a sweetheart, Wen Yuan was still very happy, and someone finally took care of that daredevil.

Just turning around, wasn't it the person I talked about just now, Wen Yunchu was followed by a well-behaved and lovely girl, who looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, young and beautiful, and she was shy and pitiful in a pink dress.
