On the day of departure, more than 10,000 people from Dingliang City came to see them off, and there were more than 20 horse-drawn carriages from the Prince's Mansion near the town, forming a long convoy.
Xu Xun, the king of the town, brought two thousand soldiers to escort him, because the number of legal soldiers for the king was only two thousand, and she brought no more than one, so no one would criticize her.
With more than 20 horse-drawn carriages and 2,000 personal soldiers, it took an hour for the team to leave Dingliang completely. After trekking on the road for more than half a month, they finally arrived at the capital from Dingliang.
When the King of the Townside returned to the capital, the princess Yan Yunchen personally led the officials to welcome him. At Yunshangju Restaurant, which has recently become famous in the capital, Lu Zhilan's servant, Laicai, asked with a puzzled face, "Miss, is the King of the Townside coming back?" Jing, why don’t you go and see it? That’s the king of the town, and it’s said that Zhuque Avenue is completely surrounded, and it’s impossible to get through.”
Lu Zhilan knocked on the fan on the lower frame of the wooden window disdainfully, thinking: The three words "King of the Border" sound like they will end badly, and it's too late to hide away, so why don't you come together
"Miss, what kind of person do you think the prince of the town is like? I heard that she is superb in martial arts, leading troops to chase after Dawan's remnant soldiers for hundreds of miles, she is a great woman!" Laicai said with shining eyes and admiration.
Yes, which woman doesn't worship such a woman who has repeatedly made military exploits, Suizhou is so far away from the capital, but the name of the prince and daughter of the town is more famous than many noble women in the capital.
The king of Zhenbian is getting old. Since ancient times, good generals have not seen their gray heads, but the people of Dayan are extremely at ease. The king of Daozhen has a daughter like this, so Dayan can be kept safe for another hundred years!
Lu Zhilan tsk tsk in her heart, in the thousands of years of the Dazhonghua family's history, how many military generals with great achievements have ended successfully? Pity these people, unlike her, who has been influenced by thousands of years of conspiracy and political struggle culture of big planters, and can't even understand this.
Lu Zhilan looked at his servant sympathetically.
Laicai was puzzled, "Miss, why are you looking at me like this, is there something dirty on my face?" She touched her face suspiciously.
Lu Zhilan immediately tapped Laicai's head with a fan, stood up and said, "Let's go, go find Mr. Mo."
Laicai groaned, followed behind aggrievedly, and couldn't help complaining: "Miss, I don't understand you anymore. Mr. Du is so virtuous and beautiful, and he is still the princess. Why do you insist on retiring the engagement, but you end up pursuing an ugly and innocent girl?" What about salt, the son of a merchant who shows his face
Lose your identity too much—"
Lu Zhilan turned around suddenly, slammed a fan on Laicai's face, and warned with a downcast face: "Laicai, don't let me hear it a second time, Mr. Mo will be my rightful husband in the future, no matter what Princess Du is... , compared to him, I still have Yinghuo and Haoyue in my heart, if you don't understand, I have no shortage of sensible servants."
Laicai immediately knelt down, racked his brains to find out what his master had praised Mr. Mo before, and said in a hurry: "Miss, this slave is obsessed. Mr. Mo is as independent as a bamboo, bright and clear, and is rare in the world." Man, Miss and I are a natural match!"
"That's about the same. If Mr. Mo hears what you said just now, I'll feed you to the dogs."
"The little ones know! The little ones know!"
Lu Zhilan nodded in satisfaction, cast a disgusted glance at the man kneeling on the ground shaking, and said, "Get up."
"Thank you miss, thank you miss." Laicai got up and couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his face.
The crown prince greeted them, Xu Ting and his mother got off the horse and saluted together, the crown maid immediately lifted up Xu Xun, the king of the town, and Xu Ting also stood up straight.
"The king of Zhenbian defeated Dawan this time. He made an alliance with Shang Gao and exalted my country's prestige in Dayan. In fact, it is my Great Wall in Dayan." It's been a long time."
Xu Xun immediately clasped his arms and saluted in the direction of the palace, saying loudly: "I am afraid, and I am greatly loved by Your Majesty!"
The princess waited for her to show her loyalty, and said, "Master Xu, let's go."
Turning on the horse again, the princess also learned to ride and shoot, and also rode on the horse. In order to show her courtesy to the meritorious officials, she also specially stood side by side with Xu Ting and Xu Xun. Xu Ting almost grew up on horseback. He is so heroic that even the princess is a bit inferior in temperament.
Although Yan Yunchen has been conferred the title of Empress Dowager, it doesn't mean that her position is safe. In the palace, besides the empress, there is also an emperor and empress who stand against each other, and the emperor also has an empress. The princess Yan Yuntong is highly appreciated by the emperor.
Therefore, if she can take the lead in winning over the newly returned King of the Town, it will be of great help to the crown maiden in stabilizing her position.
So the princess had a cordial conversation with Xu Ting and asked many things about the border.
But Xu's family didn't stand in line, Xu Ting knew as soon as he walked in that Xu's family must be the emperor's loyal loyal ministers. In the position of king of the border, it was like walking on a cliff. The Xu family will not show any specialness to any imperial daughter.
"Your Highness is serious. As Dayan's military commander, this is just a matter of duty. The daughter of the Xu family should devote herself to Dayan and wrap her body in leather," Xu Ting said.
Entering the palace, the emperor was already sitting on the dragon chair, and the female official announced loudly: "The king of the town, Xu Xun, has an audience—"
Xu Ting followed Xu Xun into the main hall to salute the emperor. This was the first time Xu Ting saw Empress Dayan.
Emperor Feng was intimidating, covering her body with a strong oppressive force, but Xu Ting didn't notice her appearance at all, and only remembered that she was a serious and majestic woman.
Xu Xun performed the military general salute, half kneeling and raised his hands to return the military amulet of the town border army. The emperor looked at the military amulet presented by the female officer with satisfaction, and signaled the female officer to announce the decree.
The female official took out the imperial decree and read it out, almost all of which were rewards from the emperor to the king of Zhenbian. Unfortunately, Xu Xun had no seal, so the emperor could only bestow a mansion and rare treasures.
"This-"
Xu Xun and Xu Ting half-kneeled to receive the decree: "Thank you, Lord Long—"
The Zhenbian King's mansion bestowed by the emperor was repaired by the Ministry of Industry when the Xu family was still in Suizhou. After the Xu family arrived in the capital, they could move in immediately.
Xu Ting's father, Han Zhi, commanded the servants to unload the things from the car in a hurry, and then put them one by one in each courtyard. On the gate, the plaque of the town's palace had already been hung.
It is ridiculous that the King of Zhenbian is not around, but no one in the entire capital dares to despise the Xu family and the Prince of Zhenbian's mansion.
Xu Ting didn't have an official position yet, so it was a headache for Emperor Wen Qi to give the mother and daughter of the Xu family any positions, but it wouldn't be long, Xu Ting was in no hurry and just let her relax for a while.
The town's palace gradually restored order and order, and it was settled in the capital. At the same time, many exchanges began, invitations and invitations flew into the town's palace like snowflakes.
When Zhenbian Wang returned to the capital, almost the entire capital was staring at the Xu family, each with their own plans.
In the emperor's harem, the empress went to pay her respects to the empress dowager. The empress dowager personally chose her when the emperor was still a dowager, so since she married into the East Palace, she has been very close to the empress dowager.
The queen mother believed in Buddhism, and there was a red sandalwood Buddha statue in the palace, and she also carried red sandalwood beads in her hand.
He has grown a lot of white hair on his head, and he has not put on powder for a long time. He has a peaceful face and wears plain and clean clothes, just like a kind and gentle Buddha.
"Han'er is here?"
The queen hurried up to help the queen mother's hand, and helped the queen mother to sit on the couch next to her.
"Uncle, here I come."
The queen mother touched the beads and asked, "Did the king of Zhenbian return to Beijing yesterday?"
The Queen: "Yes, Chen'er went out of the palace to greet him in person."
Queen Mother: "I heard that the king of the town has a daughter, right?"
Queen: "Yes, the prince and daughter of the town are called Xu Ting."
Queen Mother: "The king of the town is very powerful, and his daughter must also become a great weapon."
Queen: "Uncle is right. When His Majesty came back, he also praised the town's daughter-in-law for her extraordinary demeanor and majesty, and the town's king's lintel is not worried."
The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, and said: "That's good, since this is the case, Han'er, how about pointing Wen Hui to a wife?"
The queen was taken aback for a moment, Princess Wenhui, the son of Minjia Qingzhu Yanxiu. Back then, Lord Minjia married Du Gan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and gave birth to a son named Du Siyin, who was later named Princess Wenhui by the Queen Mother.
The queen mother murmured and sighed: "This child's biological father died young, and he lived a hard life. Ever since Min Jia got married and died in depression, the Ai family has always felt that they owe you Mrs. Mei.
Wen Hui has been delayed until nineteen now, so the Ai family is thinking about finding a good wife for him, so as not to be wasted for the rest of his life. "
"Okay, what's wrong, I'll discuss it with His Majesty when I get back.
The author has something to say: The marriage is settled, hehe~
