Yuan Chen also didn't expect that Shen Huaiting would arrange this. Jialan married Beichen as the princess of Nanyue, so she must have the dignity she deserves.
Xiao Jialan hurriedly said: "My lords, there is no need to be polite."
Shen Huaiting stood up and then came forward to meet Yuan Chen and said politely: "Your Highness, you have worked hard all the way."
Yuan Chen smiled and said: "Prime Minister Shen has lost weight, but he is tired from state affairs?"
Shen Huaiting said: "When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes back, I will be able to breathe a sigh of relief."
"Okay, I'll give you a few days off after I'm done, so you can have a good rest."
Yuan Chen knew that he had worked hard. Shen Huaiting did not dare to slack off in the past few months while he was gone. He handled everything very well, which did not make him worry.
Shen Huaiting thanked him and said, "I guess that Her Royal Highness the Princess must be getting married at the Duke's Mansion, so there is no one to clean up the palace.
Madam Ye has put the Duke's mansion in order, please princess, please go home and rest."
Xiao Jialan felt very comforted when she heard the word "go home." She nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Shen."
Yuan Chen said to Shen Huaiting: "You can go too."
He asked the courtiers to go back first, leaving Shen Huaiting alone to go back to the Duke's Mansion with them.
Mrs. Ye was already waiting. When she saw the carriage approaching, she rushed to greet it.
Xiao Jialan got out of the car and called out: "Mom, I'm back."
Mrs. Ye was very excited. She held Xiao Jialan's hand and looked her up and said: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back. Let me take a good look at her. She seems to have lost some weight."
Xiao Jialan turned around and said, "Mom, you were wrong. I've obviously gained some weight."
Xin Ruyi and Su Xinyue also gathered around and asked Mrs. Ye warmly.
Mrs. Ye was so happy that she didn't bother to say hello to Yuan Chen and the others. She took a few girls and entered the house first.
Ye Jinming stood outside the door and touched his nose and said, "My mother didn't even look at me."
Sure enough, his mother liked her daughter more.
Mu Rufeng said: "Just be content. Look at me. When we were at the city gate, my mother and my sister were surrounding my father, and they completely abandoned me."
He even doubted whether he was his biological child.
Ye Jinming suddenly felt much more comfortable after hearing what he said.
Several people came to the flower hall and sat down. Yuan Chen asked, "Is there any news about Wang Shouzhi?"
Shen Huaiting took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yuan Chen, saying: "The news I received a few days ago said that he had sneaked into Mobei and got some information.
There was civil strife in Mobei some time ago. A prince disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown. He may have hid in our Beichen. If this person can be found, it may be beneficial to the situation in Mobei."
Yuan Chen opened the letter and after reading the contents, he said in a deep voice: "Lan Yuan?"
Shen Huaiting said: "The Wang family in Mobei has the surname Lan. Wang Shouzhi said that their royal family all have totems with flying eagle patterns on their bodies. But with only these two clues, finding it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."
Yuan Chen said: "Send a message to Wang Shouzhi and ask him to find out the appearance and characteristics of Prince Lanyuan, and then ask Miss Wang to draw a portrait based on the characteristics, so that it will be easier to find him."
Shen Huaiting said: "I think so too, so I have sent a letter to Wang Shouzhi. I should get a reply in a few days."
Yuan Chen nodded and said: "I can rest assured that you can do things well. How are you getting along with Miss Wang during my absence? Nothing happened to the Wang family, right?"
Shen Huaiting said with a smile: "The Wang family was afraid that my son-in-law, who was riding a dragon, would run away, so they sent Tong Niang to take care of my daily life. Tong Niang now lives in my house."
No matter how late he goes back, his Tong Niang will always be waiting for him in the room, leaving a light for him to warm his heart and drive away his fatigue.
