Flower Qingcheng, a female special agent from Huaguo in the 22nd century, accidentally fell into the sea while on a mission. When she woke up, Flower Qingcheng found that she had transmigrated, and...

Chapter 229 Arrival in the Capital

Early in the morning of August 23rd, two carriages set out from the Dongli Inn, thirty miles outside the imperial city, and headed towards the south gate of the city.

Behind the carriage were two people riding white horses, one was the silver-haired old man Xuanming, and the other was the tall and burly Xiao Lengyu.

Last night, Hua Qingcheng, Si Chengfeng, and Situ Ye stayed in the inn's ground-level middle room. Since there were only two beds in the room, and they were small, Hua Qingcheng ended up sleeping on one, while Situ Ye and Si Chengfeng squeezed into the other. As a result, Hua Qingcheng, who got a good night's sleep, had a poor night's sleep, while Situ Ye and Si Chengfeng hadn't.

"Qingcheng, the Prime Minister's Mansion is located in the city, and the General's Mansion is located in the east of the city. You should go to your second brother's mansion first. Otherwise, why don't you go to my villa in the city to rest for a while, and then you can go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with your second brother tomorrow morning?"

In the carriage, Si Chengfeng made a thoughtful suggestion to Hua Qingcheng. His idea was: with this arrangement, even if Hua Qingcheng was busy during the day, he would still be able to see her at night.

"Chengfeng, I'm afraid your adoptive mother and father miss you very much. I think it would be best for you to go back to the General's Mansion directly. Qingcheng can just come back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me. There's no need to go through so much trouble."

Situ Ye was not to be outdone. After all, he was already at home, so how could he let his woman live outside? And even if she wanted to live, she could only live in his house outside.

At this moment, Situ Ye could no longer tell whether this idea was due to Tianlang's machismo or the jealous Situ Xuanye secretly competing with Si Chengfeng.

"Erlang, Chengfeng, I appreciate your kindness. I think I should stay at the inn. You can go back to your homes and have a good rest. You have been traveling all these days and it must be very hard for you."

After all, they were already in the capital, and it didn't seem right to take the other person's son away to live outside under the eyes of the other person's parents. And she couldn't split it into two parts. She couldn't please her brother but disobey her sister-in-law. It wouldn't be appropriate to live with either of them.

"Okay, since this is your decision, Qingcheng, let's do it." Situ Ye had no objection.

"Qingcheng, you decide." Si Chengfeng also said.

Although it didn't go as he wished, it didn't go as his opponent wished either. Situ Ye and Si Chengfeng tied in this round.

"This is the visiting card I wrote. Erlang, Chengfeng, please take it back with you on your way back."

When Hua Qingcheng had previously visited Chengfeng Villa to see Si Chengfeng, the concierge had informed her that she needed to present a visiting card before she could see the young master. Before her trip to the capital this time, her mother, a wealthy scholar, had specifically instructed her to read some books on etiquette, so this time she came well prepared.

"Erlang, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit your family at 9:00 PM tomorrow."

"Chengfeng, I will go to the General's Mansion to visit your adoptive mother and others the next morning."

Hua Qingcheng handed the two visiting cards to Situ Ye and Si Chengfeng respectively. This was the first time she was going to formally visit her husband's parents and family, and she really had some indescribable feelings in her heart.

At two quarters past noon, Hua Qingcheng and his group stepped into the south gate of the capital of Laifeng Kingdom.

Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Fengcheng truly deserved to be the capital of the country, nestled beneath the Emperor's feet. Its walls were towering, its walls high and its moats deep. These walls were even more imposing and majestic than any other.

Si Chengfeng showed the token of the General's Mansion to the gatekeeper, and the two carriages, along with Xuanming and Xiao Lengyu riding horses, entered the city smoothly.

Hua Qingcheng and the others continued their journey from the south of the city, arriving in the city half an hour later and staying at the largest Binyue Inn in the capital. It was just that the environment was good and the hotel was upscale, but it was expensive!

A single night in a middle-class room in the "Di" section cost two taels of silver, not to mention the upper-class rooms in the "Tian" section. Hua Qingcheng had no intention of staying in such an expensive room. In the end, Hua Qingcheng only booked a middle-class room in the "Di" section, because Shan Zuo said he was small and could sleep on the table. She lived anywhere anyway, and with so many husbands at home, she needed to save her money to support the family. If Si Chengfeng hadn't stopped her, she would have booked a lower-class room in the "Di" section.

Seeing Hua Qingcheng's calculating look, Si Chengfeng's mouth twitched slightly. Whatever, as long as she was happy.

"Or, why don't you stay in my villa..."

Seeing Hua Qingcheng paying the money with a painful look on her face, Si Chengfeng could hardly suppress the upward smile he was trying to give.

"Maybe next time. After all, this is my first time visiting your relatives, so it's not appropriate for me to stay at your place."

Although whether Situ Ye and Si Chengfeng's families accept her as a son-in-law or not will not change the fact that Hua Qingcheng will be with them, Hua Qingcheng will still respect their family's feelings to the greatest extent within her ability.

You can't give your husband's family the impression that you're a gigolo the first time you visit, right?

"Okay, as long as you are happy." Si Chengfeng curled the corners of his lips slightly.

"Have you guys had enough of this?"

Seeing Hua Qingcheng and her two husbands being affectionate in front of the counter of the inn, Xuanming, who was anxious to change Tianma and go back to find his apprentice, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Right away."

Not to mention Xuanming's anxiety, Hua Qingcheng was also very much looking forward to using the Millennium Ice Toad to cure Si Chengfeng.

Under the waiter's strange gaze, Hua Qingcheng, Situ Ye, Si Chengfeng, Xuan Ming, and Xiao Lengyu went to a middle-sized room in the ground floor, followed by Feng Wen, Feng Wu, and Shan Zuo.

"Boss, are there eight of them living in one room?" After Hua Qingcheng and the others walked away, the waiter held his jaw and asked the innkeeper in surprise.

"Don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask. How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?" The innkeeper was a very wealthy middle-aged woman, who said in an enigmatic manner.

In the capital, even a falling plaque could easily hit an important person! Although the woman just now looked plainly dressed, she had an extraordinary bearing and might be the eldest daughter of some family.

Furthermore, the handsome man beside her, just the clothes he wore, were made of the finest brocade and were very expensive. Moreover, his aura was such that it was obvious that he was not something that could be cultivated by an ordinary family.

She doesn't understand the world of nobles. She only knows that she has to work hard, and she will be satisfied as long as her boss pays her on time.

Hua Qingcheng and the others were unaware of the waiter and the shopkeeper's imagination. After Hua Qingcheng and the others arrived at the guest room, Xuanming arranged for everyone except Si Chengfeng and Hua Qingcheng to wait at the door.

"Second Elder, can we start?" Hua Qingcheng was still very cautious when it came to Si Chengfeng's health.

"The blood of the thousand-year-old ice toad is extremely cold. I'm afraid he can't bear it. It's better to have you accompany him." Xuanming also suppressed his playful mood. When treating patients and saving lives, he was serious and earnest.

"Okay, thank you for the reminder, Second Elder."

Hua Qingcheng wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for her. Although the deal between her and Xuanming was just a deal, she was grateful that Xuanming hadn't held back when it came to treating Si Chengfeng.
