Chapter 282 Gong Yuanzheng 69
Gong Yuanzheng: "..."
So that's what we were talking about all day.
In that case, the emperor should be quite easy to get along with... right?
"Don't worry, Xiao Chen is authoritative to others, but he won't do that to his family." Qing Yue pinched his cheek.
When she was a subject, she would be respectful and courteous to Xuanyuan Chen, making sure to save face for him.
When she was a princess, Xuan Yuan Chen was just waiting to be dealt with!
She can switch between the two professions at will.
"I'm not worried."
Gong Yuanzheng was both nervous about that day and eager for it to come quickly.
...
We are heading to the capital today.
Elder Hua and Elder Xue are too old to travel around anymore; they stay at the palace gate and wait for their return.
Elder Yue had no desires or wants, and did not want to go out. He only wanted to stay in the Moon Palace, cherishing his memories and living his life there. So he did not go out.
The remaining younger generation all packed their things and left.
The long, magnificent carriages were filled with chests upon chests of weapons and elixirs, and the rest were all gold, silver, and other treasures, which were indispensable.
Gong Zishang, Ye Zihan, Gong Ziyu, and Xi En sat outside the carriage.
Qing Yue, Gong Yuanzheng, Lin Manman, Xue Chongzi, Gong Shangjiao, and Xue Gongzi were all riding horses in front.
The scenery outside is much more colorful than the palace gates.
Gong Yuanzheng, Xue Chongzi, and Xue Gongzi were reluctant to return to the palace gates.
"Qingqing, look there." Gong Yuanzheng pointed to the distance on the right.
His head kept turning left and right, and his gaze immediately locked onto that spot, making his black eyes change color.
Qingyue turned her head to look, and the golden sunlight shone on the lake, turning the blue lake surface into gold, sparkling.
On both sides of the lake are peach trees planted by nearby villagers, which have just blossomed, creating a large expanse of pink blossoms.
Without any other excessive embellishments, it is still stunning.
"It's beautiful."
All eyes turned to it. Seeing such scenery on the first day of their journey seemed like a good omen, a sign that they would have smooth sailing in the future.
"Oh, oh, let me see." Gong Zishang swept her hand across the curtain that had been drawn back: "Gong Shangjiao, move over a bit, you're blocking my view."
Gong Shangjiao: "..."
Silently spurring the horse's flanks, the horse quickened its pace slightly.
Gong Zishang's head was completely sticking out of the window, blocking the gazes of the two people inside who also wanted to see. Apart from letting in light and air, all that could be seen were Gong Zishang's hair and back.
Xi En wasn't interested in any of that. It had seen everything, and had seen all the most beautiful scenery with its owner.
Gong Ziyu pursed her lips. She didn't know how to lose weight and had blocked everything on her own.
Ye Zihan didn't have as many thoughts as him, and immediately looked at Gong Zishang. Gong Zishang turned his hips to make half a gap for her to see.
"So lovely."
The farthest she had ever gone was to the palace gate, and like them, it was the first time she had ever seen such scenery.
The journey back to the capital was long, and they leisurely rode their horses around, stopping to rest and enjoy themselves at each place they reached.
Lin Manman and Xue Zhongzi's relationship deepened considerably during this trip.
...
It took them a month and a half to arrive in the capital.
A long procession appeared in Beijing, attracting street vendors and ordinary people to peek and see what was going on.
Upon seeing Qing Yue, who was in the lead, they all knelt on the ground.
They didn't know when the princess left the city, or how she ended up returning with a group of people they'd never seen before.
This doesn't stop them from admiring and respecting her; she must have gone off to do something important.
"Welcome back in triumph, Your Highness."
"Welcome back in triumph, Your Highness."
"Welcome back in triumph, Your Highness."
Despite not being trained, the movements were perfectly synchronized and not chaotic at all.
The people at the palace gate exclaimed in surprise, Qingyue's impression was even higher than they had imagined.
They were like country bumpkins visiting a village, finding everything novel and surprising.
Qingyue smiled but didn't speak. After she left, the people would get up on their own; that was their way of expressing themselves.
Every time she returned from a victorious battle and saw this scene, she felt a surge of emotion and her blood boiled.
If she doesn't show her face in front, the Gong family's huge dragon won't be able to enter the city gate in a short time.
All of them moved into the princess's residence.
The steward of the manor led his servants to the main gate and greeted the visitor with joy, "Your Highness, you're back!"
Hee-eun jumped off the carriage.
Steward: "Lord Xi En."
Hee-eun exhaled and gracefully began to walk.
"This is the Prince Consort."
Qingyue held Gong Yuanzheng's hand, allowing the steward to clearly see the appearance of the other master of the princess's residence.
"Your Highness, my surname is Zhao. If you see any vacancies in the manor, please let me know." Steward Zhao bowed deeply to Gong Yuanzheng.
The guards had already come to inform them, not to mention that their princess's residence was decorated very festively, indicating that they had already received the news that their princess was getting married.
"Okay." Gong Yuanzheng nodded blankly in response.
He hadn't quite shaken off what he'd just witnessed when the entire main street of the capital was filled with people kneeling and shouting in unison—it was utterly shocking.
"You must be tired after riding for so long," Qingyue said to Steward Zhao. "Take these distinguished guests to their rooms to rest."
"Yes!" Steward Zhao bowed and replied, "Gentlemen, please follow me this way."
Lin Manman: "Then let's go rest first."
"Go."
Gong Shangjiao and the others nodded to Qing Yue and Gong Yuanzheng, and followed Steward Zhao.
They spent most of their time on horseback and were indeed tired.
The princess's residence was very large. The goods on the carriage were not unloaded. Some of them were to be sent to the palace for Xuanyuan Chen to see, and the rest were all sent to the military camp.
"Qingqing, aren't we going to the palace?" Gong Yuanzheng asked.
Qingyue replied, "I've already sent a message to Xiaochen. We'll go tomorrow. Everyone should get some rest today."
Gong Yuanzheng: "Qingqing is so thoughtful."
He was just thinking about how to make a good impression so as not to make a mistake when he was about to meet the emperor.
"You must be tired too, go and rest first, I'm going to the military camp."
"it is good."
Gong Yuanzheng wanted to go along, but when he thought that it was a military camp, which was different from the guard camp at their palace gate, he didn't say anything.
I don't think just anyone can get into a military camp.
He should refrain from making any rash moves. He should wait until the two of them have finished their wedding ceremony before asking if they can go together.
"When we have some free time later, I'll take you to visit the military camp." Qingyue saw through Gong Yuanzheng's thoughts.
Gong Yuanzheng's eyes lit up: "I'll wait for Qingqing to take me there."
"If you need anything, just tell Steward Zhao."
"I know, you go ahead and get busy."
Qingyue left under Gong Yuanzheng's gaze.
Upon seeing this, the guards beside him had already come to Gong Yuanzheng's side.
"Shall I escort the Prince Consort to his quarters?"
Gong Yuanzheng: "Hmm."
Gong Yuanzheng's courtyard was naturally different from Lin Manman's courtyard.
Lin Manman, Gong Zishang, and Ye Zihan are three young ladies, and their courtyards are not in the same area as the men's.
