Lin Chujiu returned to the city one day later than Xiao Tianyao, just to avoid being greeted by hundreds of officials and enter the city in a low-key manner. After all, she secretly left the capital at the beginning. Although she made a small contribution on the battlefield, she was embarrassed to come back in a high-profile manner, but...
She wanted to keep a low profile, but Xiao Tianyao couldn't fulfill her.
There was no prince to greet him, no forbidden army to open the way, and no one in the court arranged for anyone to greet him. However, the news that Lin Chujiu was going to enter the city was spread all over the capital in the shortest possible time, attracting countless people to come to watch.
And it will cause such a big sensation, all because Xiao Wangye personally welcomes it!
That's right, Xiao Tianyao, the god of war in the hearts of the people of Dongwen, has always been greeted by others, never greeted others. Even the emperor who came to Xiao Wang's mansion and never came out to greet Xiao Wang Ye, who was humbled and brought his own soldiers, He personally waited for Lin Chujiu to enter the city at the gate of the city.
From the opening of the city gate until noon, I waited for two full hours, but I didn't see the slightest bit of impatience.
"The rumor is true, Lord Xiao really values the princess very much."
"It's a good thing that Xiao Wangye and Wangfei are in love with each other."
"Prince Xiao will come to welcome Princess Xiao in person, not only because you value Princess Xiao, but because Princess Xiao is worth it. I heard that Princess Xiao has made great contributions on the battlefield. If there is no Princess Xiao, we Dongwen may not be able to do this battle. win."
"I also heard that the emperor wanted to postpone the celebration banquet because of Princess Xiao's great achievements. It can be seen that Princess Xiao has really done a great thing."
"I've heard this news before. I thought it was an exaggeration, but now that I see Prince Xiao coming to pick up Princess Xiao in person, I believe it."
"Princess Xiao is a woman who doesn't want to be a man, and only a woman like Princess Xiao is worthy of Prince Xiao."
"If you marry someone, you should marry Xiao Wangye, and if you marry, you should marry Xiao Wangfei."
…
Rumor is that no matter what the truth is, some people say it, some people believe it, then it will be.
Obviously Xiao Tianyao didn't say anything, obviously Xiao Tianyao forced the emperor to postpone the celebration banquet, but everyone didn't know it, naturally they just said whatever they thought was reasonable, but...
Things in this world are not rational or real.
Reality and rationality do not have to coexist. What is true may not be reasonable, and what is reasonable is not necessarily true.
However, these are not important, at least for Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu, what the people in the capital say and what they think will not affect their lives.
"Da da da..." Lin Chujiu was riding in a carriage, under the protection of Jin Wuwei, and drove to the city gate unhurriedly. Someone in the distance saw the carriage with the logo of Xiao Wangfu, and immediately avoided it and let the carriage go in front of it. OK.
"Princess Xiao's carriage is Princess Xiao's carriage. Princess Xiao has entered the city." The pedestrians who avoided him knelt aside and did not forget to remind the people in front of them loudly.
In this regard, Jin Wuwei and Lin Chujiu, who was sitting in the carriage, were accustomed to it.
Not to mention in this strict class society, that is, in a society where everyone is equal, according to Lin Chujiu's status, ordinary people have to avoid it when they see it. Without clearing or closing the road in advance, Lin Chujiu is close enough to the people. .
The carriage continued to move forward, and as they walked, Lin Chujiu and Jin Wuwei felt that something was wrong.
Why are these people so excited and excited when they say "It's Princess Xiao's carriage, and Princess Xiao has entered the city"
"Go, find out, what happened?" This is the capital, a place full of people. Based on the principle of being careful, Lin Chujiu felt that it was necessary to know the reason.
"Yes." Jin Wuwei also felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly got off his horse and asked a passerby, but before the passerby could answer, he saw King Xiao riding his horse out of the city under the protection of Jin Wuwei, which seemed to be heading towards them. of.
"Your Highness?" Jin Wuwei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't understand why King Xiao appeared at the gate of the city at this time.
"It's King Xiao, King Xiao has come to pick up Princess Xiao." When passersby saw Xiao Tianyao coming out, they couldn't get excited, they knelt down with a plop, and regardless of whether Xiao Tianyao could hear them or not, they all shouted: "Your Highness is a thousand years old and a thousand years old. Thousands of years!"
"The lord is here to pick up the princess into the city?" Jin Wuwei just regained his senses, but he was stupid again!
When did the princess become so... so arrogant, how could she be greeted by the lord in person
This, this is too, too… incredible!
It feels like they are not like their princes. You know, their lord is someone who has never been greeted by even the sage.
"Da da da..." When Jin Wuwei was stunned, Xiao Tianyao was already in front of him, and Jin Wuwei couldn't think about it.
Xiao Tianyao didn't wait for his subordinates to finish, he waved his hand, indicating that the other party would not be polite, then ignoring everyone's attention, he walked straight to the carriage, and got on the carriage directly.
Inside the carriage, Lin Chujiu was hesitating, should he come out to salute, when he saw Xiao Tianyao getting on the carriage, he was immediately startled, "Wang, lord!"
"This king's title is Xiao, not Wang Ye." Xiao Tianyao was very cold, with a hint of disgust in his tone.
"Enter the city!" After getting into the carriage, regardless of Lin Chujiu, he sat down on the main seat and pushed Lin Chujiu aside.
Jin Wuwei, who was outside the carriage, was stunned again, but he was more puzzled.
Is the prince really here to pick up the princess
Why don't you say a word to pick someone up and get on the carriage
If it wasn't for seeing the prince coming out of the city, they would all suspect that the prince happened to meet the princess's bicycle frame, and he didn't want to ride a horse, so he took the princess's ride back to the city.
"Don't be complacent, this king didn't come to pick you up on purpose!" Jin Wuwei guessed right, and when the carriage moved, Xiao Tianyao poured a basin of cold water on Lin Chujiu.
Lin Chujiu was a little snickered at first, but immediately froze when she heard this. Following the principle of not losing, she rudely sarcastically returned, "I didn't even think about it, you picked me up on purpose."
"Well, it's good to know." Xiao Tianyao nodded, with a look of "this king is very pleased".
Lin Chujiu looked at him, for some reason... There was an urge to bite!
This man really sucks.
But thinking of Xiao Tianyao's force value, Lin Chujiu silently slapped this thought away, twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, and giggled.
Xiao Tianyao raised his eyes, just in time to see Lin Chujiu's stupid expression, who dared not speak, but could only smirk.
It's a pity that Lin Chujiu didn't see it.
With the sign of Prince Xiao's mansion and the presence of Prince Xiao, the officers and soldiers guarding the city did not dare to ask the carriage to stop for inspection.
In Prince Xiao's mansion, Steward Cao, Pearl, and Agate were already waiting. As soon as the carriage stopped, they stepped forward in an orderly manner and saluted Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu.
Of course, Butler Cao and Pearl did not dare to get too close, especially the maids of Pearl and Agate, who were far away, and did not dare to get close to Xiao Tianyao's body, lest they would be rejected by Xiao Tianyao.
The servants did not dare to get close, so naturally no one helped Lin Chujiu to get off the carriage, and Lin Chujiu also prepared to get off the carriage by himself, but...
