On the way back to the capital, the imperial court announced the arrangements for the new desert city in the South one by one.
The South was re-divided. The six cities were unified into a large province named Mo Tian Prefecture. The imperial court would appoint a person as the prefect. The six cities were collectively called prefectures. The prefect would become a prefect, but the administrative authority would not change.
In reality, other than Yue Ping City, the prefects of all the other cities had been changed. They would be appointed by the imperial court to take up the post with the new prefect of Mo Zhou. The person appointed by the imperial court as the prefect of Mo Zhou was none other than Feng Yu Heng's cousin, Yao Shu.
Hearing that Yao Shu was going to take up the post in the South, Feng Yu Heng heaved a sigh of relief. After all, that was six cities! This included Yue Ping City. Six cities merged into one prefecture. This was something that had never happened in the central plains of Dashun. The place was too big and there were too many cities. Similarly, the prefect's authority was too great. If they gave the territory that they had fought so hard for to an unreliable person, it would be a huge mistake. If things went wrong, the tragedy might repeat itself in a few years.
Now that the authority of Mo Tian Prefecture was in Yao Shu's hands, it was equivalent to giving it back to Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming. Emperor Tianwu's decision made the two of them very satisfied. Xuan Tianming kept saying, "Old Master is not too muddle-headed." Feng Yu Heng thought that it would be best if they could meet Yao Shu halfway and prepare some medicine for him in the desert.
The imperial court's reorganization of the South this time was quite strong. Not only did the six cities in the desert have new authorities, even the prefect of Lan Zhou was appointed. However, they did not move him from the capital. Instead, an imperial edict was sent over and the seal was given to the advisor who had been in charge of Lan Zhou ever since Xuan Tianming came to the South. After receiving the appointment, the private advisor immediately treated Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng as his second parents. He was also completely obedient to Yao Shu, who would be coming in the future. Of course, this was a story for later.
When Feng Yu Heng returned to the capital, she really did meet Yao Shu. She gave him the medicine, clothes, and silver taels and banknotes that she had prepared in advance. There were two full chests, making Yao Shu feel very embarrassed. Xuan Tianming told him that among the soldiers stationed in the South, there were quite a few of his men. Even though the South was still mostly guarded by the South's 300,000 soldiers, and the South's army had also expressed their surrender to him. But after all, those people had followed the Eighth Brother in the past. Firstly, they were afraid that he had been gone for a long time, and secondly, they were afraid that there would be people among them who would deliberately sow discord. The people he had left behind all had weapons in their hands. If necessary, they could gather them together to launch an overwhelming counterattack.
Xuan Tianming's words reassured Yao Shu, and the things that Feng Yu Heng had given him made Yao Shu feel very considerate. He only thought that she was his little sister. Ignoring the banknotes, just the medicine she had prepared made him feel at ease. He had heard that the South was very hot. His office was located in Yue Ping City, and when he first arrived, he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to withstand the heat.
Fortunately, Feng Yu Heng had already opened Hundred Herb Halls in Sha Ping, Jue Ping, and Yue Ping City. Among them, Jue Ping City's Hundred Herb Hall was the largest. She also left Wang Lin there and told him to slowly open the Hundred Herb Halls in the other three cities. However, there was no rush; the main thing was to focus on developing Yue Ping City. After all, Yue Ping City had a good position in the desert and had the most people. There was also an oasis in the city, so the climate was relatively good. After she returned to the capital, she still had to deploy the people in the Hundred Herb Halls in the other regions and send some people to the desert. In addition, the doctors needed to be trained. She didn't know if her grandfather had trained a new batch of doctors in the past few months.
The army didn't go around the Ji 'an County. Feng Yu Heng was, after all, a newly married woman, so she would have to be with her husband in the future. Moreover, she hadn't returned to the capital in a long time, so she wanted to see what the capital had become.
Along the way, she sent a letter to the Ji 'an County. She wrote a letter to the Sixth Prince and told him about her plans. She also asked the Sixth Prince if he wanted to stay there or return to the capital. Now, the management of the Ji 'an County was on the right track, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. There was no need to worry too much. Moreover, there was still Qian Fengshou. She had already said that she wanted Qian Fengshou to manage both the Ji 'an County and Yu Province. As for his salary, she would give him an extra portion every month, and it would be much more than what the court gave him.
Qian Fengshou was very happy about this. After all, his son was still in Xuan Tianming's hands. In addition, the management talent that Feng Yu Heng displayed had won his admiration. He was more concerned about the Ji 'an County than Yu Province, and he even bought a small house there. He would occasionally stay there.
There was also a letter written to Xu shi and Qin shi, telling them that she had already returned to the capital and asking her two aunts to pack up and return. As for the Ji 'an County's County Princess' manor, it would be handed over to Xiangrong and An shi. She had originally wanted to have Xu shi bring Xiangrong back to the capital, but it was said that An shi had already arrived, so she wanted to have the mother and daughter stay there peacefully. Either way, she would often come to the Ji 'an County, and there would be plenty of opportunities for the sisters to meet.
The army traveled for two months before finally returning to the capital. The citizens of the capital had received news long ago that the Ninth Prince and Princess Ji 'an would be returning to the capital today. The people stood guard at the city gates early in the morning. There were some who scattered fresh flowers on the ground, some who held red silk in their hands, and some who held baskets filled with red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds. Everyone knew that Princess Ji 'an had gotten married. She had married the God of War, the Ninth Prince. Everyone hoped that they would have a child soon. When the soldiers guarding the city opened the city gates, a group of people immediately rushed out and began to wait happily. The people warmly talked about the marriage between the Ninth Prince and Princess Ji 'an. They were even happier than if they were marrying off their own daughters.
For the citizens of the capital, the Ninth Prince's victorious return was indeed a joyous occasion. They had also been excited when the Ninth Prince first conquered the Northwest, and they had come out of the city to welcome him. But it was different this time. This time, Princess Ji 'an had also come back. Ever since Feng Yu Heng closed Hundred Herb Hall and left the capital, the citizens of the capital had been hoping for Princess Ji' an to return soon. After that, she would be able to reopen Hundred Herb Hall. They were truly unable to adapt to the fact that Hundred Herb Hall was no longer in the capital. The normal citizens no longer had anyone to give them medicine, and the wealthy had to return to drinking the bitter medicinal soups from before. There was even a person with a serious illness who could not find a doctor who could bring them back to life.
There had been people who had begged Yao Xian, but Yao Xian had saved a few, but not many. He was old and had to manage the affairs of the palace. How could he have the time to care about the citizens outside?
Thus, the people endured and endured. Finally, on this day, Feng Yu Heng returned.
When Xuan Tianming's army arrived at the gates of the capital, the crowd surged again. The people all knelt and shouted, "Congratulations to His Ninth Highness on his victorious return! His Ninth Highness is the reincarnation of the God of War. He truly deserves his title! "
Xuan Tianming sat in an open carriage with Feng Yu Heng by his side. Seeing this scene, it was as if the scene from three years ago was replaying itself. However, this time, it was not just Xuan Tianming who was celebrating. Very quickly, the two of them heard the crowd shout again, "Princess Ji 'an! You're finally back! We all miss the princess and hope that the princess will return to the capital as soon as possible! "
Xuan Tianming raised his eyebrows, "En, welcoming I was just a pretense. The purpose of these people coming here is actually to welcome their Princess Ji 'an!" After saying that, he looked at his wife beside him with an evil look, "Why are they still calling her princess? I will tell them to change it later. They have to call her Royal Consort Yu! "
Feng Yu Heng covered her mouth and chuckled. A certain someone was jealous! However, Royal Consort Yu? This title was really good. She had also waited for three years. Although there were people who called her Princess in the past, at that time, it was only "future Princess." Now, she could finally officially become his wife. Unfortunately, the Feng family was no longer here. Her state of mind had already changed a few times. She no longer felt the joy of leaving the Feng family and moving to the Imperial Palace Yu.
Because the wedding was not held in the capital, she heard that the people of the capital all went to the Yao manor to celebrate on the day of their wedding. Not a single one of them came empty-handed. They brought the best gifts their families could give. Feng Yu Heng was very moved by this. Before returning from the desert, she bought a lot of local specialties from the three cities. Just like when Xuan Tianming came to Lan Zhou to escort her, she wrapped everything in a pouch. It was not expensive. However, since they had come from afar and she had joined hands to give it to him, there was a meaning behind it.
The two of them stood in the carriage and began to give out pouches at the gates of the capital. They couldn't guarantee that everyone present would get one, but the vast majority would be able to snatch one. Those who didn't didn't care and were still smiling happily. In short, the Ninth Prince and Princess Ji An had returned to the capital. Their lives had more to look forward to.
Finally, the two of them entered the city. Xuan Tianming entered the palace to report on his work. Feng Yu Heng did not follow. Instead, she led everyone back to the Imperial Palace Yu. She was now Xuan Tianming's wife. She was no longer the Princess Ji An of the past. The imperial daughter's manor was naturally hers. However, from now on, she had one more home. Moreover, it was the most important one: the Imperial Palace Yu.
In front of the imperial residence, Lady Zhou and Eunuch Zhang stood side by side. All the servants in the residence were standing behind them. They were neatly dressed and all had smiles on their faces. In regards to Feng Yuheng, there was not a single person in Yu Palace who was unfamiliar with her. After all, Feng Yuheng would occasionally come over to stay for a few days in the past. Not only was she easy-going, she would often give them some small favors. Of course, those small favors were nothing to Feng Yu Heng. However, to these servants, it was a great grace.
For example, Feng Yu Heng had given Lady Zhou a complete set of skincare products, treated Eunuch Zhang's leg disease, given the manservants in the residence individually packaged tea, and gave the maidservants and grannies hand cream. She had as many of these things as she wanted in her space. However, the people of this era had never seen them before. Everyone was happy and their impression of the future Princess Consort became even better.
Now, the future Princess Consort had become a real Princess Consort. Today, they stood here to welcome her with great emotion and excitement. For many years, the Imperial Palace Yu only had one master, the Ninth Prince. Now, there was finally going to be a mistress. Moreover, it was such a powerful mistress. People could almost imagine that from now on, when the husband and wife worked together, they would be invincible.
Lady Zhou stood at the door with a smile. Seeing Feng Yu Heng's carriages coming over, she hurriedly signaled to Eunuch Zhang beside her. Eunuch Zhang hurriedly stepped forward. He beamed with joy and loudly shouted, "Welcome back to the residence, Princess Consort!"
