Chapter 447 My Princess

When Chunzhi and his group returned to the capital, it was already the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The emperor had already been buried in the imperial mausoleum.

When Huo Yan arrived at the outskirts of the city, he took Rendong and went straight to the imperial mausoleum without entering the capital.

Chunzhi, Huo Yanran and others entered the city first. Before they reached the city gate, they just arrived at the Ten-Li Pavilion and saw a group of people heading straight for the convoy.

"Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Before Chunzhi lifted the curtain, she heard the people outside reining in their horses and bowing to the newcomers.

Tuoba Ying said to the visitor, "How are you, Prince Chang'an?"

"Long time no see, Great Chanyu."

Huo Zheng said to Tuoba Ying that it had been a long time since we last met, but his eyes were fixed on the carriage behind him.

Chunzhi lifted the car curtain and looked at Huo Zheng, nodding slightly at him.

It has been a long time since we last met. I hope we are both doing well.

The couple each experienced siege and defense of the city. The swords on the battlefield were merciless. Now it was a great blessing for them to see each other safe and sound.

Tuoba Ying knew that the Prince of Chang'an loved his wife dearly, and at this moment he had no intention of greeting him at all. He just wanted to see his princess as soon as possible, so he didn't say anything more and let him go to see the person he wanted to see.

Gu Yuanjia and others who came with Huo Zheng immediately stepped forward to chat with the Great Chanyu of Beili, and the conversation was quite pleasant.

Huo Zheng rode his horse to the carriage, dismounted, got on, walked into the carriage, hugged Chunzhi and held her tightly in his arms.

I had so many words to say, but at this moment I couldn't utter a single word.

"Dad..." Huo Zian, who was about to stand up to greet him, saw this scene and whispered, "I'm here too."

Just now, when Cui'er and others saw the prince coming, they got off the carriage on their own accord.

Only Huo Zian had missed his father for a long time and wanted to spend some time with his father with his mother. However, when his father came up, he only saw his mother and didn't notice him at all.

Chunzhi patted Huo Zheng gently.

Huo Zheng let go of Chunzhi's waist and held her hand instead.

He rubbed Huo Zian's head with his other hand and said, "I heard that when the Northern State Army besieged the Western State City, you and Nian'er were always treating the wounded. You are indeed my son, brave and careful, and you have the generosity and benevolence of the ancient sages."

Huo Zian was praised by his father and raised his chin proudly, "I learned all this from mother."

Huo Zheng pulled Chunzhi to sit down together, looked into her eyes and said slowly: "My princess is naturally the best in the world, unparalleled."

Chunzhi used to feel embarrassed when she heard Huo Zheng say this.

Perhaps she had heard it so many times, or perhaps she felt that Huo Zheng really thought so.

Chunzhi also gradually felt that she seemed to be a really good person, worthy of being loved and praised.

She deserves even the words "the best in the world, unparalleled".

As the family of three was talking, someone in the carriage next to them lifted the curtain and called out, "Seventh Brother, do you still remember that you have a sister?"

Huo Zheng lifted the car curtain and looked towards Huo Yanran, "I just remembered."

He said this so naturally that Huo Yanran laughed out of anger.

Huo Yanran said angrily, "When I see the Queen Mother, I will make sure she hears what you have to say!"

Huo Zheng curled his lips slightly and said, "If you still care about it at that time, just tell me."

Huo Yanran had been away from Beijing for several years and had not seen her mother for a long time.

Given her personality, she would definitely cry when she saw her mother.

The mother and daughter had a lot to talk about, and this time Liu Yan went to Xizhou with an injury to bring the princess home.

Huo Yanran most likely wants to strike while the iron is hot and ask her mother to finalize this marriage.

Does she still have time to complain?

Liu Yan heard the arrival of Prince Chang'an in the carriage behind, and got off the carriage to pay his respects to the prince.

Huo Yanran had made up her mind to make Liu Tanhua her consort, but physical contact between men and women was not allowed, and it was not convenient for them to ride in the same carriage before getting married, so after they finished talking that day, they took separate carriages.

Huo Yanran couldn't bear to see him suffer even a little, so she immediately winked at Huo Zheng, asking him to let his men go back to the carriage to rest as soon as possible.

Huo Zheng pretended not to notice his sister's expression, and even expressed concern for Liu Yan, asking him how his injury was recovering.

Liu Yan answered them one by one.

Just at this time, the other people in the convoy also came to pay their respects to the prince.

Huo Zheng then let Liu Yan go back to the carriage to rest and ordered the convoy to continue moving into the city.

A group of officials from the capital had been waiting in front of the city gate for a long time. They watched as Prince Chang'an rode out to greet them, and then he and the princess lifted the curtain to show their faces in front of them. Then they were allowed to disperse and go about their business.

The future emperor and empress were deeply in love, and there was no place for them to interrupt. After everyone greeted them, they withdrew.

The carriage slowly passed through the city gate and entered the capital.

Chunzhi told Huo Zheng about some recent events in Xizhou. In fact, Huo Zheng had already learned about those major events in Xizhou from various memorials and secret letters. He wanted to know more about how Chunzhi had been spending those days.

Chunzhi said, "How else can we live? Just hold on. Even if the sky falls, we still have to hold on and keep living."

She has never been a weak woman who cannot live without a man.

It was like this before I met Huo Zheng, and it is still like this after I met Huo Zheng.

What's more, Xizhou has so many capable people and people who work together.

Even Huo Yan almost risked his life to defend Xizhou.

Huo Zheng was very close to Chunzhi. He knew that she must have been very scared and panicked when Xizhou City was besieged, but she was the Princess of Chang'an, and she couldn't let others see that she was scared or panicked.

After she married him, she really had a lot more responsibilities and burdens.

But she never retreated for a moment.

Chunzhi saw the many emotions in Huo Zheng's eyes and reached out to touch his face. "At that time, I thought, my husband is the most powerful King Chang'an in Daxing, so I must be very powerful too. I can defend Xizhou City and protect thousands of people."

Sometimes people need to give themselves courage.

At the critical moment, all you need is that bit of determination.

Huo Zheng held Chunzhi's hand and put her palm against his cheek, "You are better than me."

Huo Zian watched his father and mother being so affectionate from the side, and lifted the curtain to look at the carriage on the other side.

Gu Yuanjia had ridden his horse to the carriage at some point and was talking to Nian'er, who had lifted the curtain to look out. "Are you tired after sitting in the carriage for so long?"

"I'm not tired." Nian'er said crisply, "If you want to ask my mother if she's tired, go ask her yourself."

Yuzhu and Nian'er were sitting in the carriage together. When they saw Gu Yuanjia coming, they signaled him with their eyes not to reveal anything in front of others.

Gu Yuanjia said, "The prince will bring the princess, the young prince, the princess and others to the palace to reunite with the queen. The rest of you will follow me back to the palace to settle down."

Everyone responded in unison, “Yes.”

Gu Yuanjia glanced at Yuzhu seemingly unintentionally, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Follow me!"
