"His Royal Highness returned home, why didn't I receive the news earlier? You bastards who patrol the village!" A steward of Zhuangkou severely reprimanded several Zhuang Han.
Several Zhuang Han were ashamed and did not dare to answer.
In fact, the people who visited the village hadn't come back yet, they were left behind by the escort horses and carriages of the female guards.
Wu Zhe's strategy of three sets of horses made Princess Qing's speed extremely fast, and although the impact on durability was there, it was not as serious as imagined. In particular, how can the royal horses be compared with those of ordinary mansions? It's just a few grades higher.
Because there is a concubine Chen who lives here with a public identity, Wu Guozong's mansion has sent many royal guards here to rotate.
The Zhuang Han who patrolled the village didn't have time to stop her, and the guards who patrolled the village had already seen that it was the princess who was coming. Because there is the princess's royal carriage logo and the female guards show their badges while galloping. The guards of the villa couldn't stop them either, and followed the guards all the way back.
Although Zhuang Han, who was originally on the tour of the village, wanted to see the grand occasion of the princess's return, but he had a task to do, so he could only watch from a distance, instead of being scolded for a while.
"Turn on the lamps! Light all the lamps!"
"The yellow sand and loess that was going to be built a few days ago, quickly moved it with a tricycle and put it on the road!" The manor was busy for a while.
Princess Qing's carriage entered the gate of the manor house, Wu Zhe heard the commotion outside, and wanted to open the curtain to see the excitement.
Princess Qing smiled and waved her hands, and said softly: "Zhiruo, save me some face, I still need to put on airs."
"His Royal Highness's airs." Wu Zhe smiled and sat down.
The female guards checked their identities with the stewards on duty, and several female guards dispersed some villagers who had left to watch the excitement.
Bao Lao served as the guard of Her Royal Highness on this trip. He got off the carriage and stood proudly beside the carriage.
Said to be arrogant, the momentum has been deliberately weakened a lot compared to the past.
On weekdays, Leopard always goes out to a certain place, and it is the master who turns his nostrils at people and doesn't look straight in the eyes. After all, the identity of the moon-level saint is there.
In the current situation, Old Leopard didn't dare to push too hard. After all, Princess Qing and Miss Zhou, the think tank, are both there, and Chenjiazhuang is the birthplace of Concubine Chen, so the foundation can be regarded as very solid.
"Is Qing'er back?" Chen Zhuangzhu heard the report in the inner house. She was so happy that she jumped down from the couch: "Go and tell Chen'er, oh no, it's Concubine Chen, saying that Her Highness the Princess is back." It can be seen that the folks respect the royal heirs. Princess Qing is now the number one and most popular princess in the palace. Not to mention the welcoming attitude.
Although Chen Zhuangzhu would not really lift his granddaughter to the top of his head because of his family relationship, the psychological attitude of the vast majority of people in the village was that they wanted to bow down like kneeling and licking queens.
The steward on duty was busy in the front to receive the reception, and the rest of the stewards had already rushed over, making arrangements along the way for the princess to enter the inner courtyard.
"Hurry up! If you have no eyesight, you crooked melons and juveniles all stand behind. Your highness is frightened by black lights and blind flames. Even if your heads are chopped off, your crimes will not be worth it!"
"Keep your heads down, don't watch the excitement like a big show. Her Royal Highness didn't let you look up. Whoever dares to tilt his head, I will let him lose his head!"
"The loess and sand are placed in the middle. The clear water is sprinkled on both sides. You are all tired of mixing together! A group of bastards with no memory, hurry up and start over!"...
"Muzzle all the horses in the stables, and the guard dogs! Whoever barks, cover them with quilts! If they make any more noises, whoever hangs himself!"
Wu Zhe casually asked Princess Qing to go home and visit her mother, which actually caused so many troubles.
It's like the arrival of a certain leader or inspection team from another world.
"The surname is Chen Yi. Welcome to Your Highness the Princess's golden carriage—" Chen Zhuang led the important elders of the Chen family village, and a dozen or so people knelt down in front of the golden saddle jade carriage of Her Highness the Princess.
"Meet Your Highness the Princess." Except for the people on the side of the Princess, almost all the farmers knelt down and bowed down.
Only Master Chen didn't kneel down, but just bowed to greet him.
He has the status of a nobleman and the title of Zhang Yi. So you can't kneel and worship etiquette. Otherwise, regardless of whether it is grandfather or not, when seeing Her Royal Highness, she will kneel down to the ground.
When Princess Qing heard the familiar voice of her grandfather, her heart fluctuated, she bit her lip, and after glancing at Wu Zhe, she still spoke through the curtain of the car, "Free from courtesy."
Princess Qing's tone of these four words was extremely slow, putting on airs.
"His Royal Highness, Princess Xie—" Everyone got up now, but they didn't dare to look up, they just lowered their heads and looked at the position two steps ahead of their feet.
Wu Zhe originally thought that Princess Qing would get off the horse and go out, but she didn't expect that she was sitting in the carriage at all, without even opening the curtain of the carriage.
Princess Qing said again: "It's urgent today, and I came in a hurry. Don't blame Master Wang Yi."
The owner of Chen Zhuang hurriedly bent down again: "Old man Angan, Your Royal Highness, the golden saddle and jade horse, is a blessing that Chen Jiazhuang can't ask for, so how can you blame it? It's because Chen Jiazhuang didn't meet in time, please Your Highness. Don't mind it."
"En." Princess Qing replied, but didn't even express whether she minded or not.
Princess Qing blamed herself for the crime, which caused Chen Zhuangzhu to speak a lot. However, Chen Zhuangzhu's remorse can only be exchanged for the word "um", and the two are judged according to their status.
"There are six hundred and seventy-three households in Chenjiazhuang, and I respectfully invite Your Royal Highness to enter the inner courtyard." Master Chen bowed and raised his hands together over his head.
"Respectfully, Your Royal Highness—" All the villagers knelt down again.
I haven't seen the face of Her Royal Highness, and I have already knelt down twice. Wu Zhe was able to judge the situation outside by the vibration in the carriage, so he couldn't help being more aware of the differences in levels.
"Enter." Princess Qing simply said two words.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness." The female guard responded and led the horse into Neizhuang.
Chen Zhuangzhu and others followed closely on foot.
A group of people walked quietly, only the rustling sound of Huangsha being trampled on.
There is also an inner courtyard in the inner village, and at the gate of the inner courtyard, Princess Qing said: "I came here for private matters today, so there is no need for others to accompany me."
Master Chen waved his hand: "You all go down."
As a result, all the people in the village withdrew from the inner courtyard.
Princess Qing said again: "Raise the curtain."
When the female guard stepped forward, a court lady put down the stepping jade stool, and Princess Qing got out of the carriage at a very slow speed with the support of the two court ladies. u
