At daybreak, it was time to set off, Xuan Tianming brought his wife and sat in the imperial carriage, arriving at Chun Palace early in the morning to meet up with Consort Yun and Xiangrong.
The four of them sat in Xuan Tianming's imperial carriage, after all, this carriage was the largest, but Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianhua's imperial carriages were not idle in the capital, following behind the largest imperial carriage! Those two imperial carriages were filled with Consort Yun's "sincerity", they were all betrothal gifts to be sent to An Shi, other than the good things transported out from Winter Moon Palace, she even searched around Chun Palace and Imperial Palace Yu, finding quite a number of good things to bring along. Even so, Consort Yun was still a little uncertain, asking Feng Yu Heng continuously: "Heng Heng, don't you think there are too few things? I said that there are more good things in the old man's storeroom and told Hua-er and Ming to bring more out, but the two of them did not go. Just these two carriages of betrothal gifts, it is really a little too shabby, Third Girl has been wronged. "
What could Feng Yu Heng say? She could only advise: "Imperial Concubine Mother, it's not little, those two carriages are enough to buy a city, how can it be called shabby?"
Xiangrong was even more overwhelmed by the favour, wringing her handkerchief, saying with some difficulty: "Madam, it's not little, it's too much. When these things reach Ji 'an County, my mother will be frightened. "
"How can that be?" Consort Yun slapped her thigh, the style of "Brother Tian" back then came back, where was the slightest bit of a woman's gentleness, she was so forthright that she was like a man. She held Xiangrong's shoulder and said: "You are marrying Hua-er to be the official princess, the official princess of Chun Palace, no matter how expensive the betrothal gifts are, you can bear it."
Xuan Tianming pouted, "When I gave Heng Heng a large betrothal gift back then, why didn't I see you being so attentive?"
Consort Yun's eyes widen. "I didn't care? Isn't that because you're thinking too highly of yourself?! I haven't even made a move yet! You took away all the good things in the Winter Moon Palace. " As she spoke, she recalled the past for Feng Yu Heng, "At that time, I felt that a lot of things in the palace seemed to have disappeared overnight. I heard from the servants that half of the warehouse was empty. I even thought that there was a thief! What happened in the end? They were all carried to the Feng family by that brat. Oh, Heng! I'm not saying this because I don't like you! It's just that the Feng family back then … tsk tsk, it's really annoying. I was still wondering what was wrong with Ming 'er. Why are you so interested in this marriage with the Feng family? "
Xuan Tianming rolled his eyes. "What about now?"
"Now, I feel that you're doing the right thing!" Consort Yun slapped her thigh, "But after my Winter Moon Palace was robbed by you once, it's not that easy to save up some money. So although there are quite a lot of things given to third girl now, compared to those treasures back then, they pale in comparison. " As she spoke, she patted Xiangrong's shoulder and comforted her: "Third girl, you should be more open-minded. Heng Heng is your elder sister. Don't be too calculative about these things, and you can't feel wronged!"
Xiangrong waved her hand, and tears almost came out of her eyes, "Madam, these things are really too much and too good. Xiangrong doesn't feel wronged at all. Instead, I feel that I can't bear it! Xiangrong thanks Madam for your kindness, Xiangrong … "
When this girl became anxious, the many words of gratitude that she wanted to say in her heart could not be said. Instead, she became so anxious that tears came out. She looked even more pitiful.
Feng Yu Heng could only take over for her. She did not hold back and said to her younger sister: "Imperial Concubine Mother wants to give you the best, so you deserve the best. Don't keep thinking that you are my younger sister born of a concubine. In the future, when you marry Seventh Brother, from the husband's side, you will be my sister-in-law. "
The people in the carriage chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed. In addition, once Consort Yun left the palace, she became more wild and did not pay attention to the rules. She also referred to herself as Brother Tian. Everyone chatted happily, and Xiangrong was no longer restrained.
When the carriage passed noon and lunch was eaten, Consort Yun, who was very good at maintaining herself, leaned against the side of the imperial carriage and began to sleep. Xiangrong also showed a tired expression. Xuan Tianming gave a look to Feng Yu Heng. Feng Yu Heng left a servant to take care of the two in the imperial carriage, and she said to Xuan Tianming and Xiangrong as if she was acting: "The weather is good, I will go out with you to ride a horse! It is rare for us to come out, it would be a pity if we don't go out and relax. "
Without waiting for Xuan Tianming to reply, Consort Yun muttered: "Go, go! You two are used to being crazy, it is boring to be cooped up in the imperial carriage, go! "
The two looked at each other and smiled, then got up and left the imperial carriage. Only when they got on the horse, did they hear Xuan Tianming say: "Before we left, Seventh Brother asked for the military tally from me. Heng Heng, I am not being petty about that military tally. In this world, other than myself, the two people I trust the most are you and Seventh Brother. The military tally is such an important thing, I cannot give it to anyone, but if it is given to you or Seventh Brother, I will definitely be at ease. But this time … … this time, I keep feeling that something is not quite right, tell me, am I overthinking it? "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "You are indeed overthinking it, Seventh Brother wants to help you count the troops, how can he count without the military tally? The army will be led by Seventh Brother to the East first, let us quickly settle the matter of Ji 'an County. Once it is settled, you can quickly rush to the East and meet up with Seventh Brother, then change places with him back to the capital. "
She comforted Xuan Tianming like this, but in reality, it was not as if she did not have any thoughts in her heart. In her opinion, Xuan Tianhua's proposal was not very reasonable. It was not that the matter was unreasonable, but that it was unreasonable for Xuan Tianhua as a person. But now, no one knew what was unreasonable about it, she did not want to add to Xuan Tianming's worries, so she could only persuade him, pretending to be relaxed, but doing her best to speed up the journey.
On this side, the group headed toward Ji An Prefecture set off. As for the capital, Xuan Tian Hua practically immediately rode his horse toward the northern gate after they left the city. With Xuan Tianming's military tally in hand, it was easy for him to cross the barrier mountain and mobilize the army. Although the army only recognized Xuan Tianming, Xuan Tianming also said that if he was not around one day, Feng Yu Heng and the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua would also be their masters.
At this moment, Xuan Tianhua only had one thought in his mind, and that was to be faster! A little faster! He had to arrive before Xuan Tianming rushed from Ji 'an County to the East, pulling apart the battle between Dashun and Zong Sui, then he had to think of ways to hinder Xuan Tianming's footsteps, making him unable to interfere in this battle.
The Seventh Prince replacing the Ninth Prince to lead the army, this news could not be hidden from the court, but everyone knew the whole story, knowing that the Seventh Prince had taken a fancy to the Feng family's third daughter and had His Ninth Highness propose marriage for him, so it was not strange. It was just that the Seventh Prince would lead the army for a while, and when the Ninth Prince rushed over, the two of them would take over.
But only the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng who was supervising the country had some worries, feeling that his Seventh Brother was not someone who liked a girl to the point of troubling the Ninth Prince to propose marriage, but he did not have the energy to think deeper. The responsibility of supervising the country was too heavy, so heavy that he did not even have the time to calm down and read a book properly, he could only suppress this worry and hope that the journey to the East would be safe.
Life in Ji 'an County was still exuding vitality everywhere, as the experimental area of Feng Yu Heng's technology in the future, all the people living in the fief constantly felt the living environment and atmosphere that was completely different from the outside world. That place was like a paradise, people with smiling faces could be seen everywhere, regardless of whether they knew each other or not, people would greet each other as they walked on the streets, feeling happy to be able to live here.
The shops, taverns, teahouses and inns on the streets were very different from the outside world. Although Feng Yu Heng was far away in the capital, letters would be sent over here every month. Madam An, the Bai family's father and daughter, as well as Qian Fengshou strictly followed the instructions in her letters to manage and protect this fief. Under Feng Yu Heng's guidance, their minds and thoughts had expanded greatly, and they had a deeper understanding of the series of changes made by Feng Yu Heng, and their ability to carry it out also improved.
Now, the people living outside the fief found it hard to imagine what "pension security" and "medical security" were, and no one understood what "12 years of compulsory education was". But the people in the fief were very familiar with this, the people often said, with these guarantees, it seemed like they had paid a lot of money to the county, but in reality, the ones who benefited were still themselves. Not to mention other things, just the fact that they could use the medical security fund for treatment at Hundred Herb Hall made them very excited.
Two days ago, Madam An received a letter from Feng Yu Heng in advance, knowing that not only Xiangrong and Feng Yu Heng had returned, even the Ninth Prince and Consort Yun had followed along, her feelings were very complicated. She knew the purpose of the other party's visit, but because of this, she had been very conflicted these few days.
The Imperial Concubine from the palace had come personally, with such a high status pressuring, she had to agree to this marriage even if she did not want to. But she had a premonition that Xiangrong would not have a good ending if she married the Seventh Prince. That was her daughter, her heart ached.
Finally, the three imperial carriages drove into Ji 'an county. As Madam An had told Qian Fengshou about this beforehand, when Qian Fengshou heard that Consort Yun and the Ninth Prince had come, he was very nervous and also very excited. In the end, he organized a grand welcoming ceremony, so much so that when Feng Yu Heng and the others arrived, they heard firecrackers and music outside the imperial carriages, there were even people shouting: "Welcome, welcome! Warm welcome! "
Black lines appeared on her forehead … …
Consort Yun still did not understand what was going on, hearing the commotion outside, she asked Xuan Tianming: "Did we bump into someone's marriage? This is a good thing! We are also here to send betrothal gifts, bumping into a marriage ceremony the moment we enter is a good sign! "
Xuan Tianming did not agree with Consort Yun's guess at all, he said to Consort Yun: "I'm afraid it's not a marriage ceremony, it's most likely because of us."
Huang Quan, who lifted the curtain and looked outside, said at this time: "It's really because of us! They are welcoming Madam to Ji 'an county! "
Consort Yun became interested, slapping her thigh and said: "The people in Ji 'an county are really good!"
As she spoke, she got up and walked out of the imperial carriage, but Xuan Tianming pulled her back: "Where are you going?"
"They are welcoming us! We can't keep sitting in the carriage, right? I'll go outside to take a look, at least greet the citizens. "
"Forget it!" Xuan Tianming helplessly pulled her back, "It's fine if you call yourself Brother Tian on the road, we are all on the same side, you can do whatever you want. But in front of outsiders, even if you want to pretend, you have to act like an imperial concubine! "
