Su Lixia opened her eyes wide, then sighed dejectedly and said, "Okay, okay, you're right."

Summer days are long, and it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was just beginning to turn gray, and many people were already standing at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Uncle Li looked up at the sky and said to Aunt Chun beside him, "Judging from the sky, it's probably about time."

"Yes, that's right." After saying that, Aunt Chun glanced at the female lead who was hiding in the back and smiled, "I thought she would stand in front, but I didn't expect her to stand in the back herself."

Hearing this, Uncle Li shook his head and smiled: "That's what makes Miss so amazing. She's delicate, pitiful, and sensible. If the Prince were to see her from afar and hear what the servants are saying, hmph."

Aunt Chun took a deep breath and then exhaled, saying, "Judging from her tone, I know she's been waiting for this all along. She'll probably think we pushed her to stand at the back. If she says we didn't mean it, we'll be questioned again."

Uncle Li nodded and said, "Even if the prince knows what's going on, we'll still be questioned if he sees her like that."

"Hmph. Let's see if she'll still be so smug when the princess arrives."

"Alright, alright, that's something we wouldn't even dare to dream of. Don't we know what kind of person the prince is?"

Aunt Chun snorted and then said, "Never mind, let's just wait for the Prince."

The carriage slowed down more and more. Su Lixia curiously lifted the curtain and watched as they entered the city gate.

"It doesn't look like Xinjiang either. Apart from the differences in houses and clothing, everyone looks the same. This lousy author didn't even specify which region it's from," Su Lixia muttered to herself as she watched the guards line up twice.

Hearing this, Xiaolian, though she didn't understand everything, was still embarrassed. Her lips twitched as she explained, "Princess, the people on both sides are our personal guards, just in disguise."

"Ahem." Su Lixia lowered the curtains, using a cough to cover her embarrassment, and said, "I know, I still know."

"We've entered the city already, won't the princess take another look?"

Su Lixia gently shook her head and said, "No, no, how can I let everyone see my stunning beauty so easily!"

"They're here!" The group at the head of the procession stood out in the crowd, and the two stewards spotted them.

A smile immediately spread across her face, and tears even welled up in Aunt Chun's eyes.

Upon hearing the sound, the female protagonist stood on tiptoe, used a handkerchief to shield her forehead from the sunlight, and strained to look ahead.

"Miss." Seeing that the lady was a little unsteady, the maid immediately supported her.

"Quickly, help me check, is it really the Prince and the others who have returned?"

Upon hearing this, the maid nodded and said, "Yes, Miss, it is indeed the Prince and his entourage."

The female protagonist was both surprised and delighted, but also a little flustered. She looked at the maid and said, "Then take another look at me. Is there anything wrong with me?"

The maid smiled helplessly and said, "It couldn't be better if Miss did it this way."

"That's good, that's good!"

After the two finished speaking, the group drew closer and closer.

Aunt Chun was overjoyed and called out, "Quickly, quickly, while the horses are not far away and won't be startled, set off the firecrackers."

Then, with a series of crackling sounds, two more strings of firecrackers were set off at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion.

"Good heavens! They've started firing cannons! Who's making such a big fuss?" The young guard was pleasantly surprised when he heard the noise, and then rode his horse over first.

Lin Ziwen and his companion, who were inside the carriage, overheard this and laughed, "It must have been Aunt Chun's idea again. How amusing."
