This was also planned by Shen Mingzhu. If we go together, if there is any problem, it will be difficult to deal with the crowd.
Let them enter the capital now. When she and Xiao Xian enter the capital, even if there is a problem, it can be dealt with in time, so that too many people will not be in trouble.
The old ladies left first, and Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian accompanied Concubine Xie to the capital slowly.
They entered Beijing one day later. The old lady and the others entered Beijing in the evening of the previous day, and Shen Mingzhu and the others arrived early the next morning.
In order not to cause too much commotion, Shen Mingzhu asked Xiao Xian to ride in a carriage with her and Concubine Xie, so that no one outside could see her and she could still remain calm.
If he were allowed to ride a big horse into the city as if he were returning to court after a victory and parading through the streets, I'm afraid the women in the capital would go crazy.
When she was approaching the capital, Shen Mingzhu heard the excitement outside and smelled the aroma of porridge. She lifted the car curtain and looked outside, and couldn't help but be startled.
I saw someone serving porridge on one side of the official road. They had set up long porridge sheds with no edges. In each porridge shed, there was a steaming large pot filled with thick, snow-white porridge. The porridge was boiled to a thick consistency.
It's so thick and rotten that it won't fall down when I insert chopsticks into it.
The fragrance floats over in waves, making people very appetizing.
Shen Mingzhu originally wanted to ask whose family owns the porridge shed, but then she saw the swaying chess pieces flying in the wind very ostentatiously.
On the chess piece was written: Xiao Xian’s wedding ceremony to Miss Shen.
There are such banners or chess pieces on every porridge shed, which are very eye-catching and can be seen at a glance.
Along the way, there is a long line of porridge shacks, extending into the city. There must be at least thousands of them!
This... is he announcing to everyone that they are getting married? Is he asking all the people to come and bless them?
When the people who drink porridge get the porridge, they will happily say auspicious words, such as "A happy marriage will bring a son soon" and so on. Some people who give porridge will remind them, "Remember who gave the porridge.
Who saved your lives during this lean time?" and so on.
Shen Mingzhu looked at him blankly, what was he going to do? He was really high-profile and classy. She never thought that he would be so romantic and so scheming. Is this a demonstration to the emperor?
She looked back at Xiao Xian, who looked at her lovingly with a gentle smile on his lips.
Concubine Xie was taking a nap. She felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, so she opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xian said hurriedly: "Mom, it's nothing, there are a lot of people outside."
Concubine Xie looked sideways and saw nothing, then said: "There is some chaos outside now. It is estimated that there will be refugees coming here. If the court wants to provide disaster relief, there will be more people and chaos. You don't know, but fortunately there are people along the way.
The people arranged by Mingzhu were protecting us, but the rebellious mob didn't dare to touch us, and they sent us there in a good manner."
The mob also admired and awed Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu for their reputation and did not dare to touch them.
In addition, the people Shen Mingzhu sent to protect Concubine Xie and the others were more than the people she and Xiao Xian brought. There were Xuanyi guards from Daizhou and some elites she sent. Even if there were mobs who wanted to rob someone,
Not that easy.
After all, those mobs have no serious strategy. It is easy for them to rob ordinary people or beat officials who are greedy for life and death, but it is difficult to say with the regular army.
Let alone Shen Mingzhu's elite Xuanyi guards who can fight one against a hundred, there is no comparison.
