It's a pity that the road can only be passed by one person and one horse. Xiao Xian can't go fast at all on the horse.
The guards who were originally clearing the way for the prince and princess were crowded around by the people who respected the prince and princess. They had long been ordered not to act arrogantly to the people, but they must always be on guard against anyone sneaking in among the people.
The princess is at a disadvantage.
I only walked half a mile in half a day and still haven't reached the city gate.
Xiao Xian couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He felt that Chu Ting had come more quickly. When he knew that there were people blocking the city gate, Chu Ting immediately rode alone and took a detour to go back through other city gates.
Xiao Xian did not expect these people to be so enthusiastic. Although they had watched before, they had never been like this.
The common people shouted the titles of Prince Chitose and Princess to express their admiration.
There are even old men and women shouting, "When will the prince and the princess get married? Get married as soon as possible and have a son!"
Xiao Xian, who was sitting upright on the horse, almost fell off. Fortunately, he was very calm. Except for a flash of blush on his face, there was nothing special about him. Instead, he handed over his hand and thanked him.
"Dear fellow citizens, the princess has just returned to Beijing after a long journey. The journey was bumpy and tiring, and she has to go to the palace to report to His Majesty. So can you please give in and let us go to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty?"
He held up his hands in ceremony, without any airs of a prince, but his chic and suave demeanor was unparalleled in the world and captured people's attention.
He was dressed in the royal robes of a prince, had a handsome face, black hair, shining black eyes, and a graceful appearance that made the common people feel like they had met a god.
When they saw that the prince was so amiable to them and showed no pretense at all, and even saluted them, they immediately knelt on the ground and called the prince a thousand years old, and then made way for Xiao Xian and others to come out.
Shen Mingzhu was sitting in the carriage, listening to the exciting sound of the mountain call, and couldn't help but smile.
Biyun and Liubo waited on her in the car and were relieved to see her smiling. They were afraid that the eldest lady would be angry or impatient.
At this time, an old woman choked and said: "Princess, can you please see the old woman? If the princess hadn't saved her back then, the old woman and her grandson would have turned into dust long ago."
As she said this, she tremblingly lifted up her basket of large eggs with smooth skin, "Princess, the old woman cannot repay the princess for her great kindness. Please accept this small kindness."
On weekdays, they had no chance to see the prince and the princess. In addition, they had been away for a year and finally looked forward to coming back. They were all very excited.
They were afraid that the prince and the princess would not come back, because when the prince and the princess were there, there would be someone who could make decisions for them.
During the year they left, some people were acting arrogantly in their fields, and even invaded their fields.
As long as the prince and princess are here, they can redress their grievances and no one dares to seize their land.
Seeing that she couldn't hide, Shen Mingzhu simply asked the girl to lift the car curtain and reveal her face openly.
She sat upright in the car and had the front and rear panels removed, and then lowered the crystal bead curtains, which made a pleasant tinkling sound when the wind blew.
The carriage is spacious, and there are two girls waiting on the side. The curtains are swaying, so people outside can only see the exquisite patterns on the luxurious clothes and Shen Mingzhu's graceful silhouette. As for her real appearance,
