On December 22nd, the morning dynasty at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Taifu Wu and his party, who had been sluggish for many days, finally had some energy on their faces.
Today is the day that His Highness King Mo returns to Beijing, and naturally it is also the day that the fifth prince arrives in Beijing.
The whole court was filled with joy. The emperor ordered Ji Ming and Xiao Yanjun to greet the king well and left the court early.
Xie Jiming followed Xiao Yanjun out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. In recent days, Si Nan always wanted to express himself.
Therefore, he pointed at Xie Jiming along the way: "Master Xie, who's driving should you welcome? Can you carry it clearly?"
Xie Jiming said with a straight face: "As the Minister of Rites of the Xiao Kingdom, I should respectfully welcome His Royal Highness King Mo back to the capital and welcome the fifth prince of the Mongolian tribe. This is just a courtesy of a large country."
"You..." Si Nan shouted loudly and was about to step forward when Xiao Yanjun reached out to stop him: "With Master Jie's mouth, how can you expect him to receive the fifth prince? It's not easy to speak such words. The king wishes he could stay away from the fifth prince so as not to offend the distinguished guests."
Jie Jiming flicked his sleeves and shook his face, and took a quick step forward: "In that case, I will stay away from the fifth prince, so as not to offend your distinguished guests."
Xiao Yanjun snorted, turned his head and said to Si Nan: "You have been preparing for these days, do you still need him to greet you?"
Si Nan looked confident and responded: "No need, my subordinates have already taken care of it."
Xiao Yanjun nodded slightly: "Then let Master Jie see what a grand welcome means, so that you can give him a taste of it. After all, I haven't seen much of the world."
Listening to the cynicism coming from behind, Xie Jiming gritted his teeth and snorted: "Wei Chen really hasn't seen much of the world. I was lucky enough to see General Zhao return to the court with his troops in the middle of the year, which opened his eyes."
Xiao Yanjun raised his eyebrows slightly, with a disdainful look on his face: "Old General Zhao? It's the grandson who opened a Ming Sa Garden. As a result, these days, he doesn't even dare to show up, and the garden is forced to close and dare not open. ?”
Si Nan laughed out loud, holding his words and continued: "General Zhao was blocked and embarrassed to see anyone, but our prince has been chased and intercepted by the people every day since he went to court. However, it is I just respectfully support the prince and return him to the palace."
Just when Xiao Yanjun and Si Nan had proud expressions on their faces and were mocking Xie Ji Ming, the three of them had already reached the palace gate.
Jie Jiming was a step ahead of them and was already standing outside the palace gate. There was a smile on his usually calm face. He turned back to Xiao Yanjun and asked: "Wei Chen would like to ask, those who are chasing and blocking, Where are the people who respect and support the prince?"
Xiao Yanjun glanced at Xie Ji Ming suspiciously, not quite understanding what he meant. He frowned and walked a few steps quickly, and Si Nan quickly followed.
After leaving the palace gate and looking outside, there was no one in the streets.
Jie Jiming raised his eyebrows and looked at the confused Xiao Yanjun and Si Nan with a questioning look on his face.
Xiao Yanjun immediately turned cold. Xie Jiming deliberately glanced at the deserted street in front of the two of them, bowed and bowed before leaving: "I will go first to avoid being chased and intercepted by the people who respect and support the prince." It’s blocking the way.”
Xiao Yanjun's face turned livid after being teased by him. When he saw his back getting on the carriage, he became furious and gritted his teeth and asked Si Nan, "What's going on?"
"Go down and ask." Si Nan was also confused and walked quickly towards Nie Hongyang who was waiting beside the carriage.
The two whispered to each other for a moment, then drove the carriage towards Xiao Yanjun.
"Your Majesty, Nie Hongyang said that all the people have gone to the North City Gate to greet him." Si Nan had a look on his face, hesitant in his tone, and then continued with a hint of caution: "Maybe these days, my subordinates I went too far to create publicity for the Fifth Prince..."
Although Xiao Yanjun's face was still displeased, he looked better than before after all. As he got on the carriage, he scolded Si Nan: "Don't you know you should also leave some people outside the palace gate?"
"Yes, my subordinate neglected his duty." Si Nan felt aggrieved. He looked at the people who had been swarming in the past few days. Who would have thought that there would be no one there today...
Si Nan sat in the passenger seat and waved to Nie Hongyang, who was holding the reins, telling him to leave quickly. If he didn't catch up, he would be scolded again.
Xiao Yanjun sat in the carriage and did not speak again, but his face was calm and he was very unhappy in his heart.
He had been praised to the sky in the past few days, but he had just been slapped in the face by Xie Jiming. Although he tried his best to comfort himself, it was his intention to meet the fifth prince, but he was still angry in his heart.
Nie Hongyang drove the carriage very smoothly. It was not until he turned into the street at the entrance of Beicheng that he started to have trouble moving.
Si Nan jumped off the carriage and drove ahead, and Nie Hongyang was able to continue driving the carriage slowly forward.
Xiao Yanjun heard familiar voices in the car. Although he couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about, he could figure out what they were talking about.
It was nothing more than the praise he had received over the past few days and the expectations he had for the fifth prince.
It wasn't until this moment that Xiao Yanjun's face became gentle again. He couldn't help but curve the corners of his mouth, thinking that he would give the short-sighted Jie Jiming a good shave later and beat his face to pieces before he could Let go of the depression in my heart along the way.
Nie Hongyang's carriage finally drove to the north city gate with difficulty under the guidance of Si Nan. On both sides of the north city gate, there were manpower that Si Nan had arranged early in the morning.
At this moment, seeing the look in Si Nan's eyes, they all began to call His Highness King Yu loudly.
Xiao Yanjun stepped down from the carriage elegantly. Although there was a lot of shouting near the city gate, it extended to the back of the carriage. Although the people kept pointing at him, there was no sound of agreement. nothing.
His handsome face, which was originally smiling, slowly became stagnant until finally it completely turned cold.
Xiao Yanjun frowned and was about to ask Si Nan to find out what was going on when he saw Xie Jiming walking leisurely over and bowed to him.
"His Royal Highness King Yu is indeed deeply loved by the people. Look at the outcry there..." When he said this, he specifically pointed to the side of the north city gate, and then made a 'tsk' sound and continued: "It is indeed deafening. , opened Wei Chen’s eyes and knew what Beijia’s respected support is.”
Putting aside Jie Ji Ming's weird cynicism, the word 'that piece' in what he just said was specially emphasized and he pointed at it.
This finger seemed to be inserted into Xiao Yanjun's heart, making him want to draw a sword and stab him to death to satisfy his hatred.
Xiao Yanjun kept his face calm and turned to look at Si Nan beside him. His eyes were cold and sharp, filled with gloom...
