The eastern part of Huangzhou.
Riding at a rapid speed, they crossed the Dan River and soon would leave Huangzhou and enter the territory of Beiguan.
Since cooperating with the people from Xishan Ranch to place the last batch of people in the Youguli King's team, the rest of the journey has been extremely smooth.
It took one or two days less than expected to cross the border between the two countries and return to Dayong.
Looking at Princess Changning who was riding on the horse and looking to both sides as if she could never see enough, Wei Yunlan raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
My cousin now looks much better than last year, and she looks more energetic.
Thanks to my cousin who was in good condition, we saved a lot of time along the way.
Noticing Wei Yunlan's gaze towards her, and the admiration and praise in his eyes, Princess Changning looked back and blinked.
Wei Yunlan gave her a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Cousin, your riding skills are amazing now."
Princess Changning blushed slightly when she heard this, and she explained a little embarrassedly: "Before I was sent to the Northern Barbarians, a few months before my departure, my mother specially found a female martial arts master to teach me riding skills."
"I never had the chance to ride a horse afterwards. Fortunately, I picked it up again after staying in the Helian tribe, so I didn't hold everyone back along the way."
As he spoke, he smiled at Yu Qi who was also riding on a horse behind him, "It's all thanks to Yu Qi's good teaching."
"It's because the princess is diligent and studious," Yu Qi said modestly.
In addition to the people Wei Yunlan had brought to the Helian tribe earlier, their team also included the people who had been left by Princess Changning in the Xianshu Pavilion, as well as some members who had withdrawn from the Xishan Ranch.
All together, there are nearly half a hundred.
After entering the territory of Dayong, he rode on the horses that Tianshu Pavilion had prepared long ago.
The tall and handsome horses in uniform galloped on the official road, attracting the attention of passers-by wherever they passed.
"Will we be... too conspicuous if we do this?" Princess Changning approached Wei Yunlan and asked with some concern.
"cousin."
Wei Yunlan comforted him, "You have returned to Dayong. It doesn't matter if others pay attention to you. You are home. No one can hurt you anymore."
"But my elder brother brought me back without the approval of the capital. If I show up outside in such a swagger, will it cause him trouble?" The elder brother that Princess Changning mentioned was Qi Xu.
She still doesn't know the current situation in the North.
Wei Yunlan spoke again: "Don't worry, cousin. Now in the north, King You has the final say and does not need the approval of the capital."
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of carriages appeared on the official road, coming from the opposite direction.
The two teams met on the wide road and were about to pass each other.
Surrounded by a dozen mounted guards, the carriage pulled by two white horses stopped.
The car curtain was lifted and the person inside leaned out.
The dark blue cape with a fox fur collar embroidered on it first caught my eye.
Looking at the snow-white collar without a trace of hair, you can tell that the wearer is either rich or noble.
The figure completely left the car and turned around. Wei Yunlan recognized the person at a glance.
"Princess!"
The person in the carriage had a smiling face. Who else could it be but Princess Daning who had stayed in Huangzhou for a long time?
"I've already told you, just call me Sister Daning. You're always so polite." Princess Daning asked the coachman to drive the carriage closer and spoke to Wei Yunlan with some reproach.
"Sister Lan, are you going to Beiguan?"
After asking, her eyes naturally fell on Princess Changning beside Wei Yunlan.
He was slightly startled, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "This girl looks particularly familiar, have I seen her somewhere before?"
Princess Changning had not yet had time to retract the surprise in her eyes.
She also didn't expect to meet Princess Daning here, who was supposed to be in the capital.
It seems that the princess is quite familiar with Yun Lan, otherwise why would she keep calling her "Sister Lan"?
It's just this name, it's a bit out of place...
But speaking personally, her cousin and Princess Denning are sisters, and as a junior, she cannot be impolite.
Meeting the gaze of Princess Daning, Princess Changning quickly folded her hands and bowed, saying, "Changning greets aunt."
The word "Aunt" startled Princess Daning.
His eyes were fixed on Princess Changning's face, and after a while he finally matched the person in front of him with the girl he had seen in the palace many years ago in his memory.
The surprise in his eyes was even greater than when he saw her just now.
"Changning, why are you so thin?"
"I..." Princess Changning was about to explain but the words stuck in her mouth, and her heart felt slightly warm.
She thought that Princess Denning would ask her why she was here, but she didn't expect that her first question would be about her health.
"I was ill before, but I'm fine now." Princess Changning explained simply.
"You are still too thin. Take good care of yourself. Otherwise, when you return to the capital, the virtuous concubine will be heartbroken if she sees you."
Princess Daning did not ask Changning why he appeared here.
She came from the east, so naturally she had heard about the "hostage exchange" that had been making the rounds in Beiguan in the past two days.
Changning's appearance here only shows that King You is quite smart and knows how to transfer people in advance so that they don't fall into danger.
Rather than Princess Changning appearing here, Princess Daning was more concerned about Wei Yunlan who was accompanying her.
A teasing look swept over Wei Yunlan.
Wei Yunlan then "surrendered" himself, clasped his hands and bowed, apologetically saying: "When I was out before, Yunlan deliberately concealed my identity and used a pseudonym. I didn't mean to deceive the princess."
"Yun Lan."
Princess Danning's look was both surprised and not surprised.
It was not surprising that Wei Yunlan used a pseudonym, but her identity was surprising. "Are you the girl from the Wei family who married into the Jinyang Marquis' Mansion?"
"On the day my husband married his second wife, he asked for a divorce. Am I right?"
"It's me." Wei Yunlan nodded in acknowledgement.
Princess Daning looked at her with a brighter gaze than before, full of admiration.
"well done!"
Ever since she got rid of Song Changke, who had been a gigolo for most of her life, Princess Daning has become more and more clear-headed about matters between men and women. "He took advantage of his wife's family being in trouble and took the opportunity to marry someone else. Such a person is definitely not a good match. He should be kicked out!"
"I have been communicating with my father recently and have heard many jokes in the capital. Many of them were told by your ex-husband and his current wife."
Wei Yunlan had also heard a little about what happened in the Jinyang Marquis Mansion and Xue Linglong in the capital. Sometimes when King You received news from the capital, he would talk to her about it.
Wei Yunlan didn't care what was happening in the Jinyang Marquis Mansion now.
But when she thought of King You, a look of anxiety appeared on her face.
Today is the day agreed upon to exchange hostages.
Looking at the sun, King You must have been at Lingmen Pass by then.
I don’t know what the current situation is?
Seeing the anxiety on her face, Princess Changning said goodbye to Princess Daning, "Yunlan has returned to Dayong. You don't need to stay here."
"If you are worried about your elder brother, go and see him!"
