Chapter 177 Return to Kyoto
"Princess, look, we will be able to reach Kyoto in half a day! Moreover, the New Year will be here in half a month. Time flies like lightning!" Yuelan sat with Yun Yuxi in the spacious and gorgeous carriage with a smile on her face, chatting happily.
Yun Yuxi nodded slightly and replied softly: "That's true. In a blink of an eye, we have been away from the capital for nearly three months. I wonder if the children in Sihai Restaurant, Tongrentang and the house in the east of the city are all right?" There was a hint of concern in his words.
"Princess, don't worry. Now that the prince is in charge of Kyoto, no one would dare to cause trouble for the Sihai Restaurant. After all, with the prince's majesty, he will certainly not tolerate others bullying the weak." Yuelan comforted Yun Yuxi in a firm tone.
Hearing this, Yun Yuxi felt relieved, but she still missed those familiar people and places. She couldn't help but sigh, "Speaking of which, I miss the delicious food at Bazhenlou.
After returning to the capital, I will definitely take you and Banxia to feast on the delicious food. It’s a pity that I couldn’t bring Banxia with me this time. I’m sure that girl will blame me when she returns... "Speaking of this, Yun Yuxi’s face showed a little guilt.
At this moment, there was a slight sound of horse hooves outside the car, followed by a light knock on the car window. Yuelan opened the car window and saw that it was the palace guard Lingyi riding a horse.
He looked serious, holding a letter in his hand. He handed it to Yuelan and said, "This is a letter sent by the prince to the princess. Please pass it to the princess. In addition, we need to be extra cautious when we are near Kyoto.
Yue'er must protect the princess and herself." After saying this, Lingyi did not stay for too long, and hurriedly drove away to continue his mission.
"Chi Yan, take a quick look at the attire I'm wearing today. Can it be considered beautiful and elegant?" Yan Wuque felt a little uneasy. He looked at the guard Chi Yan beside him, expecting him to give a positive answer.
Seeing this, Chi Yan couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle: "Master, you have changed several sets of clothes back and forth! To be honest, each set is exquisite. If the princess knew about this, I'm afraid she would make fun of you. Hahahaha..." After saying that, Chi Yan couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Hearing this, Yan Wuque's face instantly became solemn. He thought to himself, "Will the princess really laugh at me for this? No, this matter must be kept strictly confidential and she must not know even a little bit. Otherwise, I will definitely ask Chi Yan to go to the training ground to receive punishment!"
Thinking of this, Yan Wuque frowned and warned solemnly: "Chi Yan, remember, you must not tell the princess about this matter. If you leak it, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
Seeing Yan Wuque was so serious, Chi Yan quickly put away his smile and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, I understand, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Then, he urged, "Master, let's get going quickly. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't have enough time. The princess might have already arrived outside the city and been waiting for a long time."
Yan Wuque nodded in agreement, then walked forward, muttering to himself: "Well, let's set off quickly. Let's go together to welcome the princess back." Before he finished speaking, Chi Yan quickly stepped forward and pushed Yan Wuque out of the room.
At the same time, Yun Yuxi, who was far outside the city, was holding the letter sent by Yan Wuque in her hands and reading it with great interest. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her face was filled with a happy smile, as if the whole world was filled with sweetness.
After a little thought, Yun Yuxi decided to dress up carefully to welcome her husband in the most beautiful way. She quickly changed into a bright red dress, put her silky hair up high, then got on the horse and galloped towards the city gate.
"My fellow ministers, follow me to the city gate today to welcome the heroes of Great Yan. I will hold a grand palace banquet today to reward all the ministers," said Emperor Suwen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, in a good mood.
"We obey your command!" All the ministers responded in unison.
Emperor Suwen rode on the dragon chariot on the streets of Kyoto, slowly heading towards the city gate. None of the ministers behind him dared to ride in the bridal sedan, and they followed behind Emperor Suwen on foot, feeling extremely miserable.
The streets were filled with common people on both sides, kneeling on the ground and shouting loudly, "Long live the emperor!" Emperor Suwen stood on the dragon chariot and nodded, feeling particularly good.
"The emperor doesn't allow us to ride in carriages or sedan chairs. Fortunately, the emperor did not forbid riding horses, otherwise my old bones would not be able to bear the tossing and turning," said Prime Minister Luo with some gloating.
"The emperor is angry that we did not take the initiative to go to Lingcheng for treatment during the plague, so he is punishing us today." The ministers knew what the emperor meant.
When they were almost outside the city, Lingyi ordered everyone to put on patchwork clothes, open the umbrella, and move quickly towards the city gate tower.
Yan Wuque on the city gate tower saw Yun Yuxi, who was leading the way in red clothes. He jumped up and landed steadily on Yun Yuxi's horse, and hugged Yun Yuxi's waist tightly with both hands.
"Prince, I'm back. I missed you so much," Yun Yuxi said, then quickly turned her head and kissed Yan Wuque on the face.
Yan Wuque hugged Yun Yuxi even tighter and hugged her from behind. Yun Yuxi squeezed her legs against the horse's belly and the horse galloped towards the city.
"Your Majesty, the Regent Princess is back, and she is outside the Dragon Throne!" Eunuch Liu had a bright smile on his face, and he hurriedly reported the good news to Emperor Suwen. His voice was full of joy and excitement, as if he couldn't wait to convey this good news to His Majesty the Emperor.
Emperor Suwen sat on the magnificent and majestic dragon chariot. After hearing what Eunuch Liu said, he immediately turned his eyes to the front. Yun Yuxi was standing steadily in front of the dragon chariot, pushing Yan Wuque, who was sitting in a wheelchair, with a graceful figure.
The two of them seemed like a perfect match made in heaven, with elegant and refined temperaments, as if they did not belong to this mortal world, but were a couple of gods who descended from a fairyland.
Yun Yuxi smiled, her eyes gleaming with confidence and determination. She bowed slightly, made an elegant salute to Emperor Su Wen, and said, "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and returned triumphantly!" Her voice was clear and melodious, like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, intoxicating.
Emperor Suwen raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a satisfied smile, and said softly, "Stand up." His eyes fell on the people from Lingcheng who were slowly approaching, and a feeling of pride surged in his heart.
The doctors and guards dressed in patchwork clothes were so excited at this moment, and the people of Kyoto shouted for a long time, "Our hero has returned, it's cause for celebration!"
