Chapter 400 Going Home
Xuanyuan Jing got engaged to the Yu family as he wished, and the promise was that she would be a concubine. He was very satisfied with this result.
In this way, the position of the queen can be left to a girl with a better family background. He believed that as long as he planned carefully, he would be able to get what he wanted.
In this way, even if he is still driven away by his father to become a fiefdom, if he has the opportunity to make a comeback in the future, his chances of winning will be the greatest!
However, plans never keep up with changes.
Before he had time to find his next target, an imperial decree shattered all his fantasies:
The emperor issued an imperial decree to grant him marriage.
The princess he was going to marry was from a foreign country, and he had never heard of this small country that came out of nowhere!
A prince who marries a foreign princess, and the other party is his principal wife, doesn't this mean that his possibility of ascending the throne is completely cut off?
Xuanyuan Jing felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue. He was so shocked that he knelt on the ground in a daze for a long time, unable to recover.
Eunuch Wang sneered in his heart. The Fourth Prince had been invisible for so many years, but he suddenly jumped around so happily recently. The Emperor had already sent people to keep an eye on him.
By doing this, the emperor has already saved enough face for him. If he is still not satisfied, he will be courting death.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, please accept the imperial edict quickly. I am still waiting to return to report to the Emperor!"
A shrill voice sounded in his ears, finally bringing Xuanyuan Jing back to consciousness. He staggered a few times, and slowly stood up with the help of the servants.
He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, took the bright yellow imperial edict with both hands, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Thank you, father-in-law. Please take care. I won't see you off."
The steward immediately took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into the pocket of Eunuch Wang, and respectfully escorted him out of the mansion. When he returned, he heard loud noises coming from the main courtyard from afar.
He sighed lightly, shrank his neck and decided to stay away. To outsiders, their master was a gentle and modest gentleman, but his true appearance was probably only known by the servants in the mansion.
The day after receiving the imperial edict, Xuanyuan Jing was forced to set out on the journey to pick up his bride. It was already late autumn, and by the time he arrived at the destination, it should have been winter.
One can imagine how much suffering this bride-picking trip must have gone through.
Xuanyuan Yan and his group also went out at the same time as him.
Ever since Shangguan Qingyue casually mentioned in the zoo that she wanted to go back to Xiangxue Village, Xuanyuan Yan began to prepare to leave Beijing.
While he was complaining to his father the emperor, he also took the initiative to bring up the matter of his fiefdom.
The imperial edict at that time stated that he should return to his fiefdom every six months before he got married. Although the Yong'an Palace in his fiefdom had not been built yet and he was not in a hurry to go there, since his fiancée wanted to go back, he had to accompany her.
In order to give the little girl a surprise, he notified everyone in advance and arranged everything. It was not until the day of departure that he directly took the girl out of Shuiyunjian and packed her up to take her away.
Sitting in the spacious and comfortable carriage, with a cup of warm tea in his hand, Shangguan Qingyue asked stupidly:
"Ayan, where are we going? Why are Second Brother and Linglong coming with us? It can't be another picnic, right?"
Nowadays, there are withered flowers and willows everywhere and the autumn wind is howling. It is really not suitable to go out for fun!
Xuanyuan Yan chuckled and couldn't help but rub the little girl's head.
"How come you're getting stupider? Who has ever seen a picnic with more than ten carriages? We're going home."
Go home... Shangguan Qingyue pondered these two words over and over again, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she was so excited that she almost jumped up in the car.
Fortunately, he was stopped in time by the person on the opposite side, otherwise the tea in his hand would have spilled all over himself.
The teacup in his hand was taken away, and Shangguan Qingyue grabbed the other person's hand and asked happily:
"Ayan, are we going back to Xiangxue Village?! Are we? Tell me now!"
Because of the excitement, the voice was a little loud. Shangguan Lan signaled the driver to speed up a little so that the two carriages could drive side by side.
Then, he lifted the car window curtain and shouted:
"Little sister, I just realized that you have a loud voice. If you shout like that, I'm afraid everyone on the street will know where we are going."
Of course he was exaggerating. There were only carriages and the guards brought by Xuanyuan Yan around. The onlookers could only watch from afar, so how could they hear what they said?
A beautiful and elegant little face appeared from the carriage, smiling brightly.
"Second brother, aren't you going to do your job at the Ministry of Revenue? Why are you here with us?"
The man's face quickly changed into a pretty little face, and Wan Linglong couldn't suppress her excitement and explained:
"Ayue, Brother Lan was sent to Fengshi County to serve as an official. It is said that the county is adjacent to Shancang County. As for me, I was ordered by the Queen to help build the palace for you.
It’s great, I can finally show my skills! ”
The two girls were leaning on the windowsill with half of their bodies leaning out, looking like they were going to chat until the end of time.
Almost at the same time, the two were pulled back to the carriage while they were talking. Shangguan Qingyue was directly hugged into his arms, and her body, which had just been chilled by the wind, was instantly surrounded by warmth.
"If you have anything to say, we can talk when we get to the inn. The weather is getting colder now, so be careful not to catch a cold."
The person in my arms nodded obediently, and suddenly thought of something and cried out "Oops!"
"Ayan, I haven't said goodbye to my father, mother, elder brother, elder sister, and..."
"Well, I've already informed these people one by one. Haven't you noticed that they've sent you a lot of things recently? Otherwise, we wouldn't have loaded so many carriages."
Of course, the carriage was also filled with a lot of gifts that he personally selected. After all, Qingqing's family also lived in Xiangxue Village, and this was his first time to formally meet the elders, so he naturally had to perform well.
"What about my donkey Xiaohua? It hasn't seen its parents for a long time. Oh, and there are also General Black, Wuyun Chiyu and the others.
If we just leave like this, what if they miss me?"
Shangguan Qingyue became more and more worried as she spoke, like a parent who couldn't let go of his child.
Xuanyuan Yan dotingly tapped the tip of the little girl's nose to stop her chattering. He consoled her:
“I specially asked Miss Wan to modify a carriage. It is very spacious and comfortable inside. Hei Fengsha, Lu Xiaohua and Wu Yun Chiyu are all here.
As for the other cats and dogs at home, they can only live in the capital for the time being. When we settle down in Dengzhou in the future, we will definitely take them all over, so you can rest assured."
All worries were taken care of, Shangguan Qingyue was very satisfied and nodded obediently.
Shancang County is located in the central part of Da'an State, slightly southerly than the capital, so the group was also heading south. Because of this, even though they set out in late autumn, they were not worried about getting colder as they went.
As they passed by a beautiful place, Shangguan Qingyue suddenly had an idea to set up a few tents for camping.
The two girls hit it off immediately and sent people to the local county town to purchase the necessary supplies. In less than a day, they made three uniquely designed tents that were both windproof and warm.
The fabric used is the Bilan satin that Xuanyuan Yan brought. This fabric is an imperial tribute from foreign countries. It is both waterproof and breathable, and is very rare.
But even such a precious thing is not cared for by the person who gives it, and not felt sorry for by the person who uses it.
Only Shangguan Lan was groaning and muttering "what a waste of resources".
Shangguan Qingyue rolled her eyes at her second brother in displeasure.
"Brother, if you really feel bad, just sleep in an ordinary tent like the other guards. I will send someone to send the extra tent back to the capital to my father and mother.
It is rare for the couple to enjoy their own world without being disturbed. Occasionally, they can find some fun places to sleep in a tent, which can enhance their relationship! "
Xuanyuan Yan stroked his chin with his hand, looking thoughtful. Shangguan Qingyue saw what he was thinking about and suddenly her face turned red.
Shangguan Lan's eyes moved quickly, and he seemed to have thought of something, so he chuckled and said:
"Brother, take back what you just said. My dear sister, when we get to Shancang County, please give me a tent. Hehehe..."
