With that said, he picked him up and put him on the bed and said, "It's getting late. We have to go on a journey tomorrow, so go to bed quickly."
Xiao Jialan moved aside and said, "The place where I live is too far away from where you live, so you can just make do with it for one night."
Yuan Chen looked at the position she left. It wasn't that he didn't want to make do with it, but he was afraid that holding her would make him unable to sleep at all.
But even so, he didn't want to leave, so he put on his clothes and lay down, behaving himself.
But Xiao Jialan was unruly. She rested on his arm and nestled in his arms, feeling no danger at all.
Yuan Chen tensed up and didn't dare to move. He finally let out a sigh of relief when the person in his arms fell asleep.
Looking at the peaceful person beside him, Yuan Chen's eyes were filled with tenderness. Every day before getting married was a torment for him.
I hope he can get what he wants in this business and marry her home soon.
He kissed Xiao Jialan's forehead, then hugged her and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, the team set off and continued their journey. All the prefectures and counties they passed through were doing their duty.
Although Yuan Chen and others were not treated as well as Xiao Jialan, there were no surprises along the way.
It was already afternoon when they arrived at Nanyue Capital. As soon as the team entered the capital, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
I saw hundreds of officials standing in front of the city gate, and the people spontaneously stood on both sides.
Yuan Chen got off the carriage and looked at this posture. He thought Nanyue was going to greet them, but in fact he was going towards Xiao Jialan.
He walked up to Chu Heng and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, we meet again."
Chu Heng glanced at him and said, "You really dare to come."
Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you afraid of? I sent Jialan back safely and soundly."
Xiao Jialan opened the curtain and got out of the car, and saw the court officials headed by Chu Heng kneeling on the ground and shouting: "Welcome to the capital, Your Highness the Princess."
Xiao Jialan was startled, and she hurriedly walked over and said, "My lords, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly."
She helped Chu Heng up and lowered her voice: "What are you doing?"
Chu Heng smiled and said: "This is your Majesty's order. Your Majesty, Princess, you can bear it."
Xiao Jialan was a little touched. She knew that her brother was trying to support her, so she asked, "Where is my brother?"
Chu Heng said: "Your Majesty is waiting at the palace. If you don't want to give someone an advantage, your Majesty would also like to come and greet you in person."
Xiao Jialan: "..."
She understood this sentence clearly. The reason why her brother didn't come was because he didn't want others to think that he, the king of a country, had personally come to greet Beichen's envoy.
How could she feel the smell of gunpowder without even meeting her?
Chu Heng said: "Let's go, I will take the princess home." After that, he ordered his men: "Take Beichen's envoys to the palace to rest."
Xiao Jialan was stunned and asked quickly: "Won't Yuan Chen enter the palace with me?"
Chu Heng said: "Your Royal Highness, the person your Majesty wants to see most right now is you, not them.
Furthermore, since they are envoys, according to etiquette, they should wait in the palace to be summoned."
Xiao Jialan wanted to say something else, but Yuan Chen advised him: "Jialan, go see your brother first, don't worry about us, don't worry, we will meet soon."
Xiao Jialan nodded, and then reluctantly left with Chu Heng.
