Ten days later.
The group that migrated south finally arrived in the capital.
The grand procession marched down the street, attracting everyone's attention. Servants from the wealthy households who had come out to make purchases saw this and rushed back to their residences to report the news.
The people on the street gasped in surprise.
"Those are the Black Knights! Prince Anzheng's Black Knights!"
"And Prince Anzheng's two deputy generals are also here!"
"My God! The Prime Minister's daughter really did pursue Prince Anzheng these past two years, and she succeeded!"
"..."
The southward migration moon inside the carriage: "..."
What kind of outrageous rumor is this?
The man in blue riding outside the carriage, fearing that Miss Nan might misunderstand the prince, immediately explained, "Miss Nan, the common people were just saying it casually, it doesn't mean anything, please don't take it to heart."
An unconvincing explanation.
The woman in green inside the carriage nodded. "Miss, the people are saying that the Madam already knows. Please be prepared."
A bad feeling suddenly arose in Nanqianyue's mind. "...What preparations?"
"The lady will surely ask you if it is true or not. You should answer truthfully."
Answer truthfully...
That's definitely completely different from what the common people are saying.
The woman in green continued to remind her, "Miss, you must not be impolite in front of Madam."
It's that same sentence again.
During the southward migration, Yue felt somewhat reluctant to see this "mother".
"Okay, I understand."
The entrance to the Prime Minister's residence was already packed with people.
However, order will not be lost, and hierarchy will not be misplaced, since the Prime Minister's wife is present.
Two carriages stopped outside the mansion gate, and Lin Fei's yellow-armored guards lined up in an orderly fashion on both sides.
The Black Knights continued to surround the second carriage.
With the help of his servants, the Prime Minister stepped down from his carriage, and a group of people, led by the Prime Minister's wife, immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"You've worked hard, Your Excellency."
"This humble servant greets Your Excellency."
"The son (daughter) greets his father."
"This servant (old servant) (this humble servant...) greets Your Excellency."
Nan Xiang smiled, a very slight smile, the authority of the head of the family emanating from the faint smile, "Everyone, get up."
He slightly raised his hand, then turned to look at the carriage, and couldn't help but laugh, "Qianyue, why are you still hiding in the carriage in embarrassment? Come out quickly, Father will take you into the manor."
The Prime Minister doted on his daughter and not only did not blame her for the inappropriateness of the southward migration, but also looked quite happy.
However, his wife frowned slightly.
"Alright, young lady, you can get off now." Green-clad woman adjusted Nan Qianyue's belt one last time.
It wasn't that Nanqianyue deliberately delayed; it was just that her hairstyle was a bit more complicated than before, and she messed it up just by leaning on the back pad.
Fortunately, the observant woman in green noticed and tidied her up in time.
The woman in green got out of the car first, then lifted the curtain and reached out her hand.
Everyone outside the Prime Minister's residence was watching the carriage. A slender, white hand reached out from inside the carriage and gently rested on the maid's arm.
A woman of stunning beauty, radiating a soft glow, gracefully stepped down from the carriage. With her hands folded in front of her abdomen, she walked with elegant steps and a polite smile.
The woman, dressed in a light blue ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), was already extremely beautiful from afar. As she slowly approached, her beauty, surpassing even that of a lotus emerging from water and outshining the flowers and moon, left everyone speechless.
"Qianyue, come and greet your mother." Nan Xiang lovingly patted her back.
Standing beside the Prime Minister, Nan Qianyue glanced at the Prime Minister's wife and then lowered her head slightly, her heart tightening instantly.
She suppressed her shock, curtsied, and said, "Greetings, Mother. I wish to extend my regards to you."
The woman in green suggested that she kowtow to the Prime Minister's wife, but she couldn't do it. She wasn't her biological mother, and looking like her didn't help.
"Hmm, you've lost even more weight in the past two years." The Prime Minister's wife's calm words revealed no emotion, and her expression was equally indifferent.
Nanqian Yue nodded, "I'm sorry to have worried my mother."
"You two, don't hide behind Ying Shu. Quickly greet your eldest sister." Nan Xiang's voice became somewhat stern.
Nanqianyue looked up and saw two young men walking out from behind the Prime Minister's wife.
"Greetings, elder sister." The two spoke at the same time.
Nanqianyue nodded slightly, smiled gently, and said nothing.
It's not hard to guess the identities of these two people: one is her "biological" younger brother, Nan Yichu, and the other is her younger sister, Nan Kezhi, born to Aunt Liu.
After crossing the second gate in grand style with Nan Xiangfeng, Nan Qianyue was led to her courtyard, Qingyun Courtyard.
Inside the elegant room, the old women had already prepared a medicinal bath, and maids and old women, including Green Robe, served Nan Qianyue as she bathed and changed.
After soaking in the medicinal bath, most of the fatigue from the journey was relieved. The maid helped her put on a set of lilac-colored ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress). The sash perfectly outlined her slender waistline, and the delicate jade pendants on her waist gently clinked together with her movements, making a soft, crisp sound.
The old woman chose a hibiscus flower and jade bead hairpin for her, which was neither too ornate nor too lacking in the grandeur of the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family.
"Eldest Miss, Ningxiang Residence has prepared dinner. The young master and the second young lady have already arrived."
The old woman's voice came from outside, and Nanqianyue, who had just finished packing, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
This is happening right on time.
The old woman who delivered the message must be one of my mother's people. She only said that the young master and the second young lady had arrived, without explicitly telling her to come over immediately.
Was he trying to test her, giving her a hint that was only half-said, leaving her to figure it out herself?
“Young lady, you must be tired from your journey. You can rest for a while before continuing,” the old woman beside her suggested with a slight bow.
Nan Qianyue smiled, she wasn't a child, she wasn't that stupid.
Even if she had traveled for ten days, as a junior, she should have arrived early to wait for them. Moreover, her younger siblings had all arrived, so how could she, as the older sister, put on airs? It would be good for her to go over early and get to know them better.
