Chapter 30: Arrival
After Sima leisurely's convoy left the small teahouse, it drove non-stop to the capital, and after about half an hour, the convoy finally arrived outside the city wall of the capital.
"Lord Sima, the capital is ahead. Xie Changfeng said leisurely to Sima through the carriage window.
"Well, got it. Sima replied leisurely.
Chen Mingyu and Yang Shaoru opened the curtain and looked out, this was the first time the two of them came to the capital.
Hao Yue in the carriage behind also frowned slightly, and opened the curtain to look at the magnificent city in front of her.
"This city feels so strange to me...... Hao Yue muttered.
......
The convoy came to the gate of the city and was stopped by the guards guarding the city.
"Where did the soldiers come from, and who were in the carriage?" the guard asked as he turned to the convoy.
Sima leisurely took out a token from his arms and handed it to Xie Changfeng through the window. Xie Changfeng took the token, rode his horse to the guard, and handed the token to the guard, only to see that there was only one word on the token - Yu.
"Xie Changfeng, commander of the third battalion of the Prince's forbidden army, escorts Lord Sima Youran back to Beijing!" Xie Changfeng said to the guards.
As soon as the guards looked at the token, they knew that this convoy was not simple, this token was the private token of the prince Li Huanyu, and after listening to Xie Changfeng's words, the guards suddenly realized, it turned out to be Sima Ran, the big red man beside the prince, who had returned to Beijing leisurely.
The guard returned the token to Xie Changfeng and said respectfully, "Ladies and gentlemen, please enter the city!"
The convoy moved forward slowly, and had just passed the city gate when it stopped again.
An old man blocked Sima Youran's convoy.
"He Hai, the chief steward of Xingju, was ordered by the shopkeeper to greet Lord Sima. The old man bowed down and shouted to the carriage.
Sima Youran, who heard the old man's voice, hurriedly got out of the car, came to the old man, and lifted the old man up.
"Uncle He, why are you here, please hurry up!" Sima said leisurely; He Hai is the chief steward of the Star Picking Residence, the most loyal subordinate under Li Huanyu, who has been in the Star Picking Residence for more than forty years, and is the elder who has been working in the Star Picking Residence when the previous generation of Star Picking Residence - Empress Dowager Yan was still picking up the Star Residence.
He Hai stood up straight and smiled leisurely at Sima: "Lord Sima, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the shopkeeper specially ordered me to come and greet you." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Ho. Sima smiled leisurely.
Sima Youran's heart suddenly tightened, he turned his head to look around, and several people on the streets on both sides immediately turned around and hid in the crowd after seeing Sima Youran's gaze.
As if he hadn't found anything, Sima Youran turned his head and continued to greet He Hai, and the few people hidden in the crowd also breathed a sigh of relief, they felt that they should not have been discovered.
In fact, Sima Youran has already noticed these people, these people should be the spies of those big people in the capital, although he knows that he will be targeted by people from all walks of life as soon as he enters Beijing, but Sima Youran still pretends not to notice anything, after all, now is not the time to startle the snake.
"Lord Sima, the shopkeeper has already set up a banquet to welcome your lordship in the Star Picking Residence, so please come with me now. He Hai said.
Sima smiled leisurely: "It's another banquet...... Okay, let's go to the Star House first. "Although Sima Youran has never liked to participate in banquets and other things, the most important thing at hand is to meet the prince first.
Sima walked leisurely towards the carriage, and at this time, Hao Yue was lifting the curtain and watching what was happening outside.
"Sima Gongzi, what's the matter?" Seeing Sima coming leisurely, Hao Yue asked.
"Miss Haoyue, I don't know if you have a place to stay in the capital?"
"No...... I know what Childe wants to say, so I'll follow Childe for the time being and won't go anywhere. Hao Yue said coldly.
Sima Youran was slightly stunned for a while, "What do you mean by following me first for the time being? Do you really want her to go with us to see the crown prince?" Sima Youran thought so in his heart, and at this time he even regretted bringing Hao Yue to the capital.
"Alright then, girl, you can follow me for the time being. In the end, Sima Youran compromised.
He Hai himself also came in a carriage, Sima leisurely nodded at He Hai, returned to his carriage, and shouted outside: "Go, pick the stars!"
In this way, the group came to the Star Picking Residence.
At the door of the Star Picking Residence, Li Huanyu saw the oncoming convoy and showed his signature smile. Xie Changfeng dismounted first, ran to Li Huanyu and knelt down on one knee: "Xie Changfeng has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Li Huanyu nodded and said, "Well, thanks to you, the brothers are also fortunate, so you can take them down to rest first." ”
"Yes! ”
He Hai also stepped down from his carriage and saluted Li Huanyu: "Shopkeeper's ......"
"I'm glad you, Uncle He, go in and rest. "After all, Hehai is also an old man, if it weren't for the inconvenience of going to the city gate in person, Li Huanyu would not have sent He Hai over.
Later, Sima Youran's convoy finally stopped in front of Li Huanyu, Sima Youran and others got off one after another, and Li Huanyu saw Sima Youran and hurriedly greeted him.
"Leisurely, you're back. Li Huanyu said with a smile.
"The minister Sima has seen His Highness leisurely. Sima bowed leisurely.
Seeing this, Yang Shaoru and Chen Mingyu also knew that the cynical man in front of them was Li Huanyu, the crown prince of the dynasty, and the two were in awe and saluted Li Huanyu.
"Grass people Chen Mingyu (Yang Shaoru), I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince. The two said in unison.
"Oh, don't, why are you so restrained, please get up, please get up. Li Huanyu said with a laugh.
Then Li Huanyu saw Hao Yue who had just gotten off the carriage behind Sima Youran, and Hao Yue stood behind Sima Youran so blankly at this time, looking at Li Huanyu quietly.
"Is this what Sima Youran said about His Royal Highness the Prince?, the purple jade plate is his?"
"Look at the girl behind you, she's very natural, you should all be like her in front of me, don't be so reserved. Li Huanyu said with a smile.
Sima leisurely turned his head to look at Hao Yue behind him, and smiled bitterly, while Chen Mingyu and Yang Shaoru were also sweating in shock at this time.
Seeing that the prince doesn't bow or salute, this hazy girl is too strong, right...... And the first time I saw the prince, I felt that this prince was really the best, and his heart was too big!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, these two are Yang Shaoru and Chen Mingyu, both of whom are my friends, and this is Miss Haoyue...... She is also a good friend of mine, and I ask Your Highness to forgive her for her powerlessness. Sima said leisurely to Li Huanyu.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't care, a leisurely friend is my friend, why do you care so much about friends? Let's go in." Li Huanyu said, then put his arm around Sima Ran's shoulder and walked towards the Star Picking Residence.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this ......" Sima Youran shook his head in embarrassment.
Seeing this scene, Chen Mingyu couldn't help but sigh: "How good is the relationship between Brother Youran and His Royal Highness the Prince......
"Alright, let's go in too. Yang Shaoru said. The two followed behind Sima Youran and Li Huanyu, and then behind Hao Yue, at this time, Hao Yue was also looking at Sima Youran who was hugged by the shoulders in front of him.
How to say it, Sima Youran looks like this...... It's really cute......
After thinking about it, he followed the footsteps of the big men in front of him.
......
......
At this time, a piece of news that is nothing to many people, but has a great impact on other people, is not going to go in the capital.
Sima has returned to Beijing leisurely!
