Yun Jingchu and his party, accompanied by Dao, came all the way to Xuecheng, the capital of Aotian Kingdom.
Along the way, Dao took Yun Jingchu and his party to visit the mountains and rivers and the scenery of Aotian Kingdom.
Therefore, the journey that was originally less than half a month was extended to one month.
When we arrived in Xuecheng, it was already May when summer flowers were in full bloom.
After arriving in Xuecheng, Dao did not let Yun Jingchu and his entourage live in Ninghe Palace where they were entertaining guests, but took them to Yuling Palace, his former palace when he was a prince.
When he just returned to Aotian Kingdom, Yun Jingchu and his party lived here with him.
When the courtiers of Aotian Kingdom saw this arrangement of swords, they understood the status of Yun Jingchu and his party in the eyes of their majesty.
"Jingchu, you should rest first. In the evening, I will prepare a dust-cleansing banquet for you." Dao sent Yun Jingchu and his party to Yuling Palace. After making sure that the palace officials in Yuling Palace had prepared everything, he said
.
At this moment, a young eunuch came outside the door and reported: "Your Majesty, Duke Ping wants to see King Kang and Princess Kang."
Duke Ping is Dao's grandfather, Mr. Xiahou.
Dao blinked in confusion, wondering why his grandfather came to see Yun Jingchu in such a hurry.
Yun Jingchu's eyes flashed slightly, and he instantly understood the purpose of Mr. Xiahou's visit...
It seemed that Mr. Xiahou was really anxious about Dao's marriage, so he hurriedly found them as soon as they arrived.
"Then let the old lady Xiahou come in quickly. It just so happens that we haven't seen the old lady for a long time." Yun Jingchu said with a smile.
The little eunuch looked at the knife questioningly.
Dao nodded and ordered: "Let Duke Ping come in."
The little eunuch responded quickly, pushed it out, and trotted away.
Originally, Dao was about to leave, but now he was not in a hurry to leave. He sat down and waited, first to see what his grandfather was doing.
Soon, Mr. Xiahou came in under the leadership of the young eunuch.
"I have seen your Majesty." As soon as he came in, Mr. Xiahou saluted with his sword.
Although Dao told Mr. Xiahou not to be so reserved in private, Mr. Xiahou still meticulously abided by the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.
"Old Mrs. Xiahou." Yun Jingchu and his party also quickly stood up and greeted Mr. Xiahou.
"Prince Kang, Princess Kang, Mr. Wu, you are finally here." Mr. Xiahou said with excitement on his face.
As for Angus, Mr. Xiahou didn't know his identity or name, and he had never seen him before, so he didn't say hello. He couldn't help but look at him curiously, waiting for Dao to introduce him.
"Old Master, this is Angus Bunian, he is our friend, just call him Angus." Yun Jingchu introduced.
"Ah, it turns out to be Mr. Bunian. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you." Mr. Xiahou said with a smile.
After the greetings were completed, everyone sat down. Mr. Xiahou looked at Yun Jingchu expectantly and said, "Princess Kang, I have something to trouble you this time."
"It's troublesome or not, Mr. Xiahou, just tell me if you have anything to do." Yun Jingchu said cheerfully.
"It's like this. I and other ministers have selected several girls from aristocratic families for Your Majesty to be concubines in the harem. You can help me make an idea and see which girl is suitable." Mr. Xiahou said with a smile.
After saying that, Mr. Xiahou waved, and a row of young eunuchs came in carrying several piles of portraits on trays.
