The two Highnesses returned to the capital, and the capital was shaken.
People in the capital rushed to the streets one after another to see the demeanor of the two Highnesses.
So much so that when the convoy entered the city gate, its speed slowed down significantly.
Ru Yang looked outside through the car window and said, "Compared to when we left, it's a bit more lively."
The second prince Liu Heng said with a smile: "It is said that the population of the capital is increasing every year. There is no room for so many people in the city, and all of them are crowded outside the city. Do you still remember the Guozijian after the relocation? Along the railway tracks, there are all houses, which have been repaired to Xinmin County .Because the rent is cheap, many people rent houses there. From the Imperial College down, it is getting more and more lively.”
Ru Yang didn't make a sound.
The second prince Liu Heng asked her, "Compared to overseas, the capital is full of flowers, luxurious and rich. Is my sister really willing to leave and continue to live a poor life overseas?"
"Is it bitter? I don't think so. Overseas is less than one-tenth of the bustle of the capital, but it has everything that should be there. How can we talk about poverty. If we really want to say bitterness, it is also the climate that is not acclimatized by the hot climate. And my royal city , is becoming more and more prosperous, and the population is increasing. Even if it can't catch up with the capital city, one day, it will catch up with the city in the south of the Yangtze River."
"My sister has such ambition, very good!"
Ru Yang looked at Sheng Zi, "Second Brother, what are your plans? Will you choose to stay in the capital?"
The second prince Liu Heng smiled, "There is room for me to display my talents in such a huge capital."
"The court hall is where my brother can display his talents."
"Not always."
Ru Yang understood, "Are you worried about conflicts with your elder brother?"
The second prince Liu Heng said: "Our identities are destined to be provoked by people with ulterior motives around us, and there will never be peace. I don't want to argue with my elder brother, and I don't want to see our brothers turn against each other under the instigation of courtiers. Therefore, It is wise to leave the capital. Such a large piece of overseas land is enough for me to spend my whole life working on it.”
Ru Yang sighed, "As a prince, I can't help myself most of the time. The courtiers are hateful. I'm afraid that the prince will be amicable. I wish every prince can use his brains so that they can profit from it. Dare we princes and daughters have become courtiers It is a tool for them to play tricks. It is no wonder that in the past dynasties, there are no princes who live in harmony."
"Driven by profit, they can forcefully create things that don't exist. My sister doesn't have to be angry, the worst is to leave the capital, and the courtiers want to play tricks, and they are beyond their reach, and they can't do anything to us."
Ru Yang nodded.
The convoy passed through the crowd and finally entered the imperial city.
When the carriage drove into the palace gate, the thick and serious palace was dazzling.
Ru Yang whispered, "I'll only know how much I miss this place when I come back here."
The emperor and empress are waiting for their Highnesses in Xingqing Palace.
The two brothers and sister got off the carriage, entered the main hall, and knelt down to worship their father, queen and queen.
Tears glistened in Gu Jiu's eyes.
Emperor Liu Zhao grinned cheerfully.
"Free of courtesy! Get up and let Bengong take a look."
"Thank you, father and queen!"
"Dark, thinner, and taller. My family, Ru Yang, has grown into a big girl, but her skin color is not fair enough to wear bright red and green clothes."
"Mother, as soon as my daughter came back, you began to think about how to dress up her daughter. Why do you feel that you dislike me for being ugly?"
Ha ha…
"I don't think you are ugly, you are not ugly. It's just that the appearance in memory has changed too much, you have to give your mother some time to adapt."
"The queen mother still dislikes me for being ugly."
Gu Jiu smiled helplessly, and glanced at Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao grinned like a fool.
"How can my daughter be ugly? Look, how beautiful she is. This appearance, no other lady in the capital can match her. Ru Yang, don't blame your mother, your mother has a problem with her eyesight."
"You said I have a problem with my eyesight? Make it clear!"
Gu Jiu is not happy anymore.
In her eyes, Ru Yang is full of vigor and vigor, and he is very handsome.
When did she say that Ru Yang was not good-looking
It's just women's habitual thinking. When they see a girl, they think about how to dress up the girl.
Can this have anything to do with beauty and ugliness
She just wants to give her daughter the best and dress her up beautifully.
She stared, and Liu Zhao immediately confessed.
"My fault is all my fault. I said something wrong, the queen must not be as knowledgeable as I am."
The two brothers and sisters secretly laughed.
As always, the father is afraid of the mother.
The third prince Liu Yun hurried over.
"Second brother, sister!"
When the three brothers and sisters met, their eyes were flushed.
"My brother Yun has grown taller."
"Brother Yun is already an adult."
"I don't like to hear my sister's words. It seems that you are much older than me. You were just born half a stick of incense earlier than me."
"The half stick of incense is also older than you."
Siblings bicker every day, but it's still a familiar formula and a familiar taste.
Seeing the siblings getting along well, Gu Jiu was very pleased.
Family dinner at noon.
Princess Qi Sun Qiniang brought her three children into the palace.
After going out to sea, Ru Yang changed his temperament, and he especially likes children.
I was overjoyed to see my three nephews and nieces.
She and Gu Jiu said: "My daughter only realized the value of children and the importance of population when she went overseas. The increase in the number of newborns in the city every year is something worth celebrating."
"I heard that you encourage the crew and guards to marry local women? Will it work?"
"The crew were happy to settle down in the local area, marry wives and have children. The guards were not too happy. Most of the first guards around my daughter were from the capital, and they definitely didn't want to stay overseas. My daughter didn't force them. They were gradually replaced. Without guards, and only recruiting children from good families along the coast, the policy of intermarriage can be regarded as progress.”
Gu Jiu nodded secretly, "You must pay attention to your own safety outside, and you must be on guard against others. You can't completely entrust your own safety to someone. This is a big taboo. Your bodyguards must check and balance each other."
"Daughter understands! Thank you, Queen Mother, for reminding me."
"You are away from home, and I am worried every day. When you come back this time, don't leave."
"The daughter is also reluctant to part with the mother! However, the foundation of the daughter is overseas, and the daughter cannot give up on them."
Gu Jiu was heartbroken.
She straightened Ru Yang's collar.
Ru Yang finally changed into women's clothes, the slightly plain clothes suit her very well.
"I support you in your pursuit of your dreams, but the thought of seeing each other after years of separation makes me very sad. This time I will stay in the capital for a while longer."
"A daughter listens to her mother."
The three little nephews and nieces all received the gift, and they were overjoyed.
The milky voice said thank you aunt, thank you uncle.
The second prince Liu Heng picked up the two boys, very rare.
"It's a pity that my brother is not at home."
A family dinner lasted two hours.
Gu Jiu was slightly tipsy from drinking, and Liu Zhao was flushed from drinking.
He is happy!
He rested his head on the pillow, and the pillow was placed on Gu Jiu's lap.
He was dizzy, but still thinking.
"I'm happy that the children are back! The palace hasn't been this lively for a long time."
"While they come back, settle the children's marriage together."
"The second child got married directly, and they have been engaged for so many years, which has dragged up the age of the girl's family."
Before Liu Heng left Beijing, he made an appointment for a marriage, which he chose by himself.
Li Bingming is the granddaughter of Master Li.
It's a pity that Mr. Li Bingming has passed away, so he can't see his granddaughter's wedding.
"There's also the marriage between Ru Yang and brother Yun."
"I don't worry about brother Yun's marriage. The only thing I worry about is Ruyang's marriage. Look at our daughter, how wonderful! A girl's family manages more than a dozen cities, and there are seven soldiers with weapons and equipment under her command." Eight thousand people, plus the local government servants, there are tens of thousands of people. How awesome! Such a wonderful girl, a son of a family in the capital, I can't think of anyone who is worthy of her. The person who is worthy of her must be at least older She's one round. A boy of her age is still childish and doesn't even have any career foundation. Ru Yang's marriage is difficult!"
Liu Zhao was both proud and melancholy.
The daughter is so outstanding, as a father, she is so proud that she can't close her mouth.
But the daughter's marriage has also become a big problem.
What a sweet burden.
Gu Jiu said: "Second brother quietly told me that Ru Yang fell in love with someone himself."
"what?"
Liu Zhao jumped up instantly, "Which brat lied to my daughter? I must break his leg."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Just now I was worrying about Ru Yang's marriage, but this meeting will break other people's legs, you are really fickle."
"That's different! Those who have not passed my investigation are not qualified to marry my daughter. Who is it that can make Ru Yang fall in love with you? I must take a good look."
Gu Jiu said: "The second child refuses to tell! I plan to wait for Ru Yang to explain to me personally."
"How can we do that! We have to find out the other party's situation before we can grasp the opportunity."
"Then send someone to inquire. If Ru Yang is angry with you, don't complain to me."
Liu Zhao was dumbfounded.
He almost forgot that Ru Yang has a lot of energy.
"However, she has been overseas for many years, and her temperament is definitely different from when she was a child. She will no longer get angry as easily as when she was a child. Don't forget, our daughter is the city lord who manages more than a dozen cities!"
Liu Zhao laughed heartily, very embarrassed.
When I think of my daughter's achievements, it's like drinking ice water in the dog days, and my whole body feels refreshed and transparent.
In fact, Gu Jiu was also very curious about what kind of person Ru Yang could fall in love with.
Liu Zhao was about to make a move, so she asked Liu Zhao to inquire about the news.
Liu Zhao said to her: "If Ruyang makes trouble, you have to speak well for me."
Such a cowardly father is really rare.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay! I promise to speak well for you."
