Two days later, the caravan set off.
During these two days, Lu An did not go to the Purple Lake. Instead, he was cultivating in the pavilion. Hearing that Lu An was going to accompany her to the Kingdom of Shangqi, Yang Mu was overjoyed. Unlike the princesses of other countries, she did not care about how many guards she had with her. Instead, she put all her thoughts on how to bring Lu An out to play.
In order to let Lu An accompany the princess and not attract attention, Beauty Yang also gave Lu An a title. That title was the nobility of Purple Lake City. One must know that the title of nobility in Purple Lake City was something that many merchant families yearned for even in their dreams. This was because nobility represented many unexpected privileges in Purple Lake City.
Before leaving, Beauty Yang said to Lu An that she hoped he could look after Mu 'er and not let Mu' er run around and be in danger. However, in the carriage, Lu An thought about this sentence and looked at Yang Mu. He did not know whether he could control her or not.
The guard of honor was half a li long. The luxurious carriage was pulled by six horses. Inside the large carriage, there were only Yang Mu, Xiao Lan, and Lu An. The space in the carriage was more than enough for three people to lie down, let alone sit down.
Yang Mu was dressed simply on a daily basis. She did not have the gorgeous and dignified appearance of traveling. Instead, she gave off a capable and heroic feeling. According to her, the caravan needed three days to reach the capital of the Kingdom of Shangqi. Wearing that kind of clothes was too tiring. She could wear it after entering the city.
Yang Mu kept talking to Lu An along the way. She did not stop at all. On the way, Yang Mu kept looking at the scenery outside and talked about interesting things with Lu An. Lu An knew that she usually had no one to talk to other than Xiao Lan. Therefore, he listened to her patiently.
And this talk lasted for the entire journey.
Three days later, the caravan successfully reached the capital of the Kingdom of Shangqi. The journey was safe and sound. They did not encounter any obstacles. During the three day journey, Yang Mu listened to Lu An. She did not stop the caravan and delay the journey.
When the luxurious carriages entered the city, several ministers of Shang Qi were already waiting outside the city to welcome them. The carriages entered the city, and from the beginning to the end, all the streets were sealed off. The commoners were separated to the sides, allowing the carriages to pass without any hindrance.
Before entering the city, Lu An also got out of the carriage and followed the group on horseback. If he was still in the carriage at this time, it would be too inappropriate. Even Xiao Lan came out of the carriage. Only the princess could sit in the carriage.
Along the way, the commoners seemed to be very interested in the princess of Purple Lake City. They kept cheering on both sides of the road. The carriage traveled in the Imperial Capital for a long time before it finally arrived in front of the palace.
At this time, the huge doors of the palace were already wide open, and both sides of the door were filled with guards. As the convoy passed through, the atmosphere became serious. After the convoy had passed through nearly half of the palace, they finally arrived in front of the main hall.
A red carpet had already been laid out in front of the grand and solemn main hall. At this moment, the caravan stopped, and so did the carriage. In front of him was a flight of stairs. As a guest, he naturally had to dismount from his horse and walk up the stairs to enter the main hall to congratulate the king.
Although Lu An didn't know the rules of the palace, when he saw others dismount, he also immediately dismounted. Then, Xiao Lan walked to the side of the carriage's curtain and said respectfully, "Princess, please dismount."
Before his voice died away, the carriage's curtain slowly opened.
When everyone saw the princess appear from the carriage, they were all stunned. Even Lu An was no exception. He looked at the woman who walked out in surprise.
Although she was still Yang Mu, she had finally changed into a noble dress. A golden dress, a long skirt, and an exquisite jewel headdress, as well as long hair that was completely draped over her shoulders. That long hair even went past her hips. It was as beautiful as the night.
Lu An looked at such a luxurious Yang Mu in a daze. This was the first time he saw Yang Mu with her hair down. Previously, Yang Mu had always combed her hair up. He never thought that she would be so beautiful.
Yang Mu noticed Lu An's somewhat dazed expression and proudly raised her head. She looked very much like her mother. Then, Yang Mu leisurely walked down from the carriage. Xiao Lan dragged her skirt and walked up the stairs step by step.
This beautiful scene was like a painting.
Not only Lu An, even the guards on both sides of the stairs were stunned. Everyone's gaze was focused on one point. Yang Mu was the absolute center.
Along the way, the surroundings were quiet. Even when Yang Rong stepped into the main hall, she didn't stop.
Finally, Yang Mu stood in the middle of the main hall. Behind her was a group of Purple Lake City's high officials. Yang Mu slightly bowed and said to the king on the high platform, "Greetings to the king. I represent Purple Lake City to congratulate you."
After speaking, Yang Mu raised her hand. Immediately, the people behind her carried the congratulatory gifts. A total of seventeen boxes of congratulatory gifts was enough to show Purple Lake City's sincerity.
At this time, the king on the stage was the old king, named Qi Zhenshan. He wasn't the new king who was about to take office. After all, before the coronation ceremony, the old king was still the king. As for the new king, which was the current eldest prince, Qi You. He sat on the chair next to the old king. At this time, Qi You looked at Yang Mu with a straight gaze.
Looking at the Princess of the Purple Lake City, Qi Zhenshan's face was full of smiles. Even though he was no longer the King, his body was still very strong. He laughed loudly and said, "I have some ties with the Purple Lake City's City Lord, who is your mother. As expected of her daughter, your temperament hasn't decreased at all!"
"Thank you for the king's praise." Yang Mu said. Her voice was quiet but powerful. Her tone and intonation were perfect. Lu An was stunned. Could it be that this kind of thing was really innate?
"Let me introduce you. This is my eldest son, Qi You. Three days later, he will become the new king!" Qi Zhenshan said with a smile, "Two months ago, he secretly went to Purple Lake City to participate in the Purple Lake City's competition. At that time, he almost had an accident. Luckily, you guys acted in time! "
"Shang Qi Kingdom is an ally of Purple Lake City. Naturally, we have to take care of him." Yang Mu said solemnly, "It's our fault for not noticing the arrival of the eldest prince in time."
"Don't say that. Even I didn't know that he sneaked out!" Qi Zhenshan laughed and said, "Since you're here, have fun in the imperial capital for a while. Let us, Shang Qi Kingdom, be a good host."
"Yes." Yang Mu said.
"Princess, you must be tired from the long journey. How about I let them take you to another courtyard first?" Qi Zhenshan said with a smile, "There will be other guests during the day. I might not be able to take care of them properly. You guys can walk around first. At night, I will set up a banquet to welcome you guys! "
"Yes." Yang Mu said. Then, she bowed again and slowly left the main hall.
Soon, the people of Purple Lake City disappeared from the main hall. However, although they left, many people couldn't take their eyes off of them. Among them was the king three days later, Qi You.
After all, Qi Zhentian had seen the older generation. He wouldn't be tempted by a younger generation. He quickly noticed the change in his son and asked with a smile, "Why? Do you like it?"
Qi You was stunned by Qi Zhentian's question. He quickly looked at his father and said with a blush, "Yes."
"To be honest, you're not young anymore." Qi Zhenshan looked at his son and sighed, "You're going to be the king soon. Look at your concubines. Which one of them is decent? After you become the king, the first thing you'll do is to be the empress. Who do you think can be the empress? "
"…" Qi You was speechless. He lowered his head. Indeed, his concubines were all very beautiful, and their appearances were all first class. However, their temperament couldn't be compared to Yang Mu's. Any one of them would pale in comparison to Chen Mu, and the difference between them could be seen clearly.
"It's my incompetence." Qi You lowered his head and said, "Let's delay the empress conferment."
"Delay? How? How old are you? If you don't become the empress, won't you be laughed at? "Qi Zhenshan said with disappointment," If you really like this girl, quickly go and pursue her. If the princess of Purple Lake City can marry you, it will be a good match. It will only be good for us. Do you understand? "
Hearing his father's words, Qi You was shocked. He looked at his father with joy. He was still thinking about whether it was right to pursue her. However, after hearing his father's words, he immediately made up his mind!
"Yes!"
