With the people in the city kneeling in worship, the carriage slowly left the city, and the long team drove all the way forward.
The place we are going to here, Qingyang City, is the imperial capital.
Along the way, the carriage drove very smoothly, and they also slowed down their journey. However, Zhao Chengji was still uneasy and asked the imperial doctor to check the Ping'an pulse in the morning, noon and evening to make sure everything was safe.
It can only be said that as an emperor, he has been childless all his life, so he is naturally very concerned about having a child suddenly. He was poisoned when he became the prince, so if he was reborn four or five years in advance, he could still avoid it.
But obviously you can't choose the time for rebirth. So, now, having a child must be very attractive.
After knowing his identity, Yu Lan told herself that he was the father of the child, and she couldn't be afraid of him, so she got close to him. However, she still felt a little uneasy, but after getting along with him, she found that the uneasy mood gradually faded away.
It can be ignored directly.
The carriage traveled all the way and finally arrived at Qingyang City a few days later.
The cold city walls, tall towers, and the city standing in the sun are majestic and majestic, making people feel very small.
Qingyang.
This is it.
Looking at the inscription above the city gate, Yu Lan felt mixed. After turning around, she came back here again, but this time, her identity was different. She was the emperor's concubine and the mother of the young prince.
Amid the cheers of the people, the carriage drove slowly into the imperial city and slowly headed towards the palace.
Storefronts, restaurants and teahouses, neat houses one after the other, with a unified two-story attic. The second floor of those restaurants and teahouses was still full of people. Where the carriage passed by, people knelt down and shouted long live. Obviously, this
His Majesty the Emperor is very popular among the people.
At this time, at the entrance of the palace, the Queen Mother led the civil and military officials who had been waiting there for a long time. Standing at the front were the Queen Mother, Concubine Yi and the two princesses. Standing behind them were naturally the civil and military officials, those with high official positions.
In front, and so on, neatly.
As for the Supreme Emperor, he is not here.
Some time ago, the emperor went to join in the sword debate. He was originally going to take the queen mother with him, but his son had not come back yet and someone in the court needed to be in charge, so he went alone.
Ever since Emperor Xuanwei became the Supreme Emperor, he has been very leisurely. He would go to the rivers and lakes for a while every now and then. The burden on him was gone, and he felt better. Now he feels radiant, and his life was better than when he was the emperor.
Even better.
It was quite difficult to be an emperor at that time.
If his son hadn't been able to live up to his expectations, he might have become the king of the country.
Now that he is no longer the emperor, this kind of life where he sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day is really suitable for him. Now that he is about to have a grandson, he is on his way back, and he will probably be back two days late.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
At this time, everyone at the gate of the palace was waiting quietly, especially the Queen Mother, who was already waiting and waiting.
As the highest-ranking woman in the palace, the Queen Mother's appearance is undeniable. Although she is old, she looks very young because she is well-maintained and looks like she is only in her thirties.
At this time, she was wearing a purple palace dress, with peonies embroidered on the material using golden silk thread, extending from the skirt to the waist, adding a bit of charm. There were also lavender shawls.
The phoenix was embroidered, and three thousand silk threads were tied into a silk bun. It was decorated with a purple gold phoenix bead crown and a gold wrist wheel inlaid with a blue and white glass bead. The dress was elegant and noble, showing the royal majesty.
"It's been a long and tiring journey, and I don't know if your imperial brother's concubine can bear it."
Her royal grandson.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Princess Zhaohua added, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, my sister-in-law is in good health, and my nephew must be in good health."
"It's true, this time, it's really the blessing of our ancestors. Your imperial brother's concubine is really blessed. The good news came out so quickly."
Hearing the two of them talking, Concubine Yi who was standing next to them couldn't help but smile and nod, "What the Queen Mother said is that our emperor's newly married concubine is indeed blessed. I think it won't be long before this palace
It will be lively when the little prince is here."
No one understands better than her that there is a huge difference in the treatment of royal women between those with children and those without children. For example, after being in the palace for several years, the number of times she could see the emperor was very few, until
After she became pregnant, she was promoted several levels in a row. After giving birth to a princess, she was named Concubine Yi, which was considered favored. Then, when the prince succeeded to the throne, she was named Concubine Yi and was allowed to live in the palace and continue to enjoy the blessings.
The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Yi and nodded lightly, "Well, this is natural."
Next, the Queen Mother thought about her son again.
"Yuan'er said he wanted to leave the palace to get some fresh air and do some errands. He's been out for two or three months and I don't know if I've lost weight."
Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Princess Zhaohua standing next to her had a dark look on her face.
How is it possible to lose weight?
Maybe her royal brother is even fatter.
Zhaohua knew how virtuous her little sister-in-law was. She had three different meals a day, and her cooking skills really made her want to die.
Therefore, it is impossible to lose weight if you are thin. However, there is a kind of thinness, that is, if her mother feels that the emperor's brother is thin, then he must be thin.
While thinking, there was the sound of rolling wheels in the distance, and there was also the sound of horse hooves. The neat army line slowly came into everyone's sight. Among them, the one in the front was the hussar general, and there were four horses in the team.
The charioteer is very conspicuous in the team.
On the flag, there was a dragon pattern embroidered on the edge, black and white, and a unicorn totem embroidered in the middle, which was the unique symbol of the Northern Territory Kingdom.
The wind blows.
Flags were flying and rustling sounds were heard.
I saw people coming.
Zhaohua pulled his mother's head up happily and kept looking over there.
"Queen Mother, it's the Imperial Brother and the others."
"Great, I'm finally back."
…
Here, Yu Lan looked at the palace getting closer and closer, her hands felt warm, and she was obviously a little nervous.
The palace is large and majestic, with yellow glazed tiles and vermilion walls. It looks very solemn and solemn at first glance. It is said that once entering the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and even Yu Lan does not know what he is about to face.
hope everything is fine.
Close.
Yu Lan raised her eyes and saw that the entrance to the palace not far away was crowded with many people. Those people were wearing official uniforms and were obviously civil and military officials.
Among them, Yu Lan also saw an acquaintance, Zhaohua, the noble princess of the Northern Territory, standing in front of the civil and military officials.
When she was in Jiangling County, Yu Lan just thought that Zhaohua's name was familiar, but she didn't think much about it. She never thought that she was the princess who was loved by thousands of people.
