This is a great thing for the people of Wengcheng.

So when Yu Nanqing appeared in the sight of the people with his army, cheers and jubilation filled the entire sky.

"They're back! It's the Prince and Princess!" The people on the city wall couldn't stop shouting, leaning their entire bodies over the wall.

From afar, Yu Nanqing rode a brown horse. The horse was tall, and the midday sun made his face appear extremely majestic.

A horse-drawn carriage followed behind him.

Su Wanyan leaned out of the car window, a gentle breeze ruffling her hair. Her eyes sparkled with joy as she gazed at the city gate, exuding an air of delicate beauty.

"It's Your Majesty!" Qiu Ye excitedly tugged at Huang Ye's sleeve.

Huang Ye's eyes reddened, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

When Su Wanyan said she was going to the East Sea, the two of them were extremely worried. Now that their mistress has returned safely, how could they suppress their excitement?

Besides the autumn leaves and yellow leaves, there are also figures of Kobu and Tanaka.

Su Wanyan waved excitedly at them.

The entire procession was grand and imposing, with the Dragon Flag Army's flag flying fiercely. Even though they were just walking, they exuded an aura of overwhelming power.

In no time at all, the grand procession had stopped in front of the city gate.

Yu Nanqing dismounted first and hurriedly went to the carriage to lift the curtain: "Yan'er, we've arrived at Wengcheng."

Su Wanyan, supported by his hand, slowly dismounted. Qiu Ye and Huang Ye, unable to contain their excitement, rushed forward: "Your Highness! This servant greets Your Highness! Greetings to Your Highness!"

"Get up quickly."

As soon as Qiu Ye and Huang Ye rose, Xiao Bu and Tian Zhong knelt down again: "Your subordinates greet Your Highness! Your Majesty!"

Just as Su Wanyan was about to tell the two to get up, the next second, all the people who were welcoming them at the city gate knelt down.

Looking at the city walls, the people were also kneeling on the ground.

For some reason, Su Wanyan's eyes suddenly reddened.

She always felt that she was a very weak person who could do nothing. If it weren't for her status as the Princess Consort of Prince Gong, she might have died countless times in this era.

Yet, this seemingly insignificant person was suddenly loved and respected by the people of Wengcheng. The sincerity and reverence they showed in their eyes made Su Wanyan realize for the first time that she also bore the responsibility of serving the people.

It is said that with great power comes great responsibility, and Su Wanyan truly understood this at this moment.

Noticing Su Wanyan's emotions, Yu Nanqing tightened her grip on her hand: "This is what Yan'er deserves."

This is what she deserves. She was originally a queen consort, and even if she did nothing, she should still be worshipped by all the people.

Su Wanyan opened her mouth, then pursed her lips and smiled, "I will try my best!"

She should strive to be worthy of her current position.

Yu Nanqing's brows twitched. Try harder?

What are we striving for?

He didn't say that to make Su Wanyan suffer.

Fortunately, before Yu Nanqing could dwell on it for long, Qiu Ye interrupted their thoughts: "Your Highness, Your Highness, lunch is ready, and everything in the manor has been packed. Whether Your Highness and Your Highness are in a hurry to set off or stay in the city for a few days is fine."

They had already received news that Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan were returning to the capital, and had packed their belongings several days ago.

Naturally, when Su Wanyan returned to the capital, the rest of them would definitely go back with her.

All other matters concerning Wengcheng have been handed over. All that remains is for the imperial court to send an overseer to monitor the development of Wengcheng.

Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing exchanged a glance before she smiled and said, "The prince and I will rest in the city for a day. The Dragon Flag Army will continue their journey after a short rest."

Since there was no rush on their return to Beijing, Yu Nanqing could openly take Su Wanyan out for a leisurely stroll.

Only half of the Dragon Flag Army returned to the capital; the other half remained stationed on the city island. After lunch, they would pass directly through the city.

Normally, troops would detour around the city during marches, only passing through it when returning to the capital after a victory. This was to reassure the people in the city that there was no need to worry, as the enemy had suffered a defeat and there would be no further fighting for a short period.

At these times, the city's residents would take out the little food they had at home and stuff it into the hands of these soldiers along the way to express their gratitude.

The army marched very fast, and in just half a month, they were already 108,000 miles away from Su Wanyan.

Autumn Leaves, Yellow Leaves, Xiaobu, Tanaka, and others were with the army.

Yu Nanqing, on the other hand, was not in a hurry at all.

On the way back to the capital, when they encountered shallow waters, he would take Su Wanyan to wade in the river and catch fish. When they saw a beautiful sunset, he would leisurely find a rest stop, carry Su Wanyan to a treetop to watch the sunset.

When passing through prosperous towns, Yu Nanqing even changed Su Wanyan's carriage to a comfortable one.

The carriage was filled with books that Su Wanyan loved to read, as well as a special food compartment for storing snacks. The table in the carriage could be raised when needed and hidden in the floor when not in use.

The carriage was covered with soft cushions, and ice could be stored around it to keep the interior cool when it was hot.

When Su Wanyan is tired, she can lie down and rest, which is very convenient.

Moreover, the carriage wheels were coated with tree sap, so even on bumpy roads, the carriage could still travel smoothly.

What should have been a journey of about two and a half months was dragged out to four months before they finally returned to the capital.

It was already late November, deep winter.

On the day I returned to the capital, it happened to be snowing lightly.

When the court received news of Yu Nanqing's return to the capital, the young emperor, who had just ascended the throne, personally went to the city gate to welcome him.

Therefore, at this moment, at the gate of the capital, the emperor's ceremonial guard filled the entire street. The five-year-old emperor was wrapped in a bright yellow imperial robe, and the white velvet attached to the collar seemed to submerge his little head.

As Su Wanyan stepped down from the carriage, she looked up and saw Yu Jing'an in this very state.

He sat on the dragon carriage, his youthful face particularly incongruous with the crown on his head.

However, although his face was still very childish, his eyes revealed a spirit of not giving up, and Su Wanyan could clearly see the tenacity in his eyes.

The child was only five years old, which aroused Su Wanyan's curiosity.

Yu Nanqing brought Su Wanyan to the front, and only then did the young Emperor Yu Jing'an rise up, step down from the dragon carriage, and his appearance truly had a bit of an imperial air about him.

"Your subject and your wife greet Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!" Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan knelt down and performed a kowtow.

"Uncle and Aunt, there's no need for such formalities. Please rise!" Yu Jing'an stepped forward and helped Yu Nanqing up with his small, tender hand. Yu Nanqing then made a move to stand up.

"Your Majesty and Aunt have had a long journey. A banquet has been prepared in the palace to welcome you back and wash away the dust of your journey!"
