After staying in Yuzhou City for two days, Yuan Chen and his party continued their journey.
Mu Zheng sent them to the junction of Beichen and Nanyue. After some instructions, everyone bid farewell to General Mu and set foot on the land of Nanyue.
Nanyue had already received the news, and after entering the first city, the local magistrate came to greet him personally.
However, they were welcoming Xiao Jialan. Seeing the officials trying to please Xiao Jialan one by one, Su Xinyue couldn't help but said: "Why do I feel that it is difficult for His Royal Highness to marry Sister Jialan during this trip?
You see, the local officials don’t look good on His Royal Highness, let alone their Majesty.”
Xin Ruyi made a silent gesture and said: "Don't let His Highness hear these words, otherwise he will be unhappy again."
Su Xinyue stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak any more.
After dinner, everyone rested at the inn. Xiao Jialan let out a sigh of relief after dismissing the people sent by Magistrate Liu.
She opened the door and was about to go find Yuan Chen, but there were guards guarding the door.
Xiao Jialan had no choice but to close the door angrily. She sat at the table and sighed, then she heard the window seem to move. Looking back, she saw Yuan Chen neatly climbed over the window and landed in the room.
She was overjoyed, ran over and hugged him and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."
Yuan Chen touched her head and said, "I can't bear to leave you here alone."
Xiao Jialan looked up at him and said, "Prefect Liu is really annoying. He sent so many people and treated me like a prisoner. After returning to Beijing, I will let my brother punish him."
Yuan Chen chuckled lightly and said, "I don't treat you as a prisoner. I'm obviously afraid that I won't be able to serve you well or something will go wrong."
Xiao Jialan said: "But he actually ignored you and treated the envoy like this. Didn't he want to provoke a dispute between the two countries?"
Yuan Chen pulled her to sit down and said, "Without your brother's permission, do you think he, a mere prefect, would dare to neglect us?"
"ah?"
Xiao Jialan frowned and said: "It was my brother's instruction. He...why did he do this?"
Yuan Chen said: "Why else? Just give me a slap in the face. Don't worry. If he is polite to me, I will be worried."
Xiao Jialan looked at him and said, "I won't let you be wronged."
When Yuan Chen heard this, his heart melted. He held her in his arms and said, "As long as I can marry you, I can bear any grievance. I kidnapped all your brother's darlings.
It is inevitable that he will have opinions about me."
With that said, he kissed Xiao Jialan's forehead and said, "If your brother is in trouble, don't plead for me. The more you plead for me, the angrier he will be. Do you understand?"
Xiao Jialan pursed her lips and looked at him, with distress written all over her face.
Yuan Chen pressed her forehead against hers, and said in a low voice with some restraint: "Little ancestor, don't look at me like this, it will make me want to bully you."
There were still people guarding her outside. He was already very depressed and restrained, and he didn't want others to discover that he had a secret meeting with her in the middle of the night.
Xiao Jialan listened to this but didn't care. She raised her head and kissed him on the lips and said, "But I want to comfort you."
Yuan Chen couldn't hold back anymore, he trapped the person in his arms and lowered his head to kiss her.
Because he didn't dare to make a sound, the kiss was even more thrilling, but also tender and affectionate in a different way.
After a long time, Yuan Chen let go of her and looked at her red cheeks and plucked lips.
He said in a hoarse voice: "When you get to the capital, you can't seduce me again."
If my brother-in-law knew about this, I wouldn't be able to kill him.
Xiao Jialan glared at him and said, "How could I seduce you? It's obviously because you don't have enough concentration."
Yuan Chen laughed and said, "Yes, it's because I don't have enough concentration. No, I don't have concentration in front of you."
