In the fourth year of Shengping, Yu Yiluo was six years old.
When the emperor returned from his travels, he drew a new, more extensive map, and the entire court was delighted.
The prince thought that the emperor would take over the government again after his return, but he didn't expect that after returning to the palace for a month, he had no intention of doing so.
All day long he either accompanied Yu Yiluo or played mahjong with Concubine Xian and others.
It's like living a retirement life.
When the emperor returned, Concubine Xian and the others were worried that their leisurely days were about to end. However, instead of scolding them for playing mahjong, the emperor joined them.
Ever since Concubine Rou left the palace, they have been missing one person when playing mahjong. Fortunately, the emperor is back now, so they have just enough people to fill the table.
When Yu Yiluo came home from school, she saw several people playing mahjong.
The emperor sat right at the top, looking down at the cards, with eunuch Cao behind him fanning him. He looked as relaxed as possible.
The same was true for the people around him, with maids fanning them from behind.
"Ahem."
Yu Yiluo walked up to the few people and coughed lightly.
The emperor looked up and waved at her, "Luo'er, come here quickly and see how daddy fights this time."
Seeing this, Concubine Shu was unhappy. "Your Majesty, this is not acceptable. Luo'er is proficient in playing cards. You can ask her to help you and we can just pay the money directly."
Yu Yiluo brought a chair over, glanced at the silver in front of the emperor, and said with a smile: "Dad, you lost miserably."
The emperor touched his nose and said, "I am giving in to them."
At this time, the palace maids' greetings were heard at the door.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince nodded and walked in.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father."
The emperor nodded and gestured for him to stand up without even raising his eyelids.
"What's wrong?"
"I would like to recall Cai Ze and have him serve in the capital in the future."
The emperor was silent for a while and sighed.
"Lost again."
He signaled Eunuch Cao to give the silver, and waved his hand to let the palace servants who were serving on the side leave.
"It's time to recall him. You can do whatever you want."
Although many people have been added to the imperial examinations in recent years, they all lack experience.
Cai Ze has been in Changshan County for so many years, it's time for him to come back.
"Thank you, Father. I will recall Cai Ze immediately."
When Mu Chen heard the news of Cai Ze's recall, he was so happy that he almost lost his mind.
He hadn't seen Xin'er for several years. Xin'er and Li Qian's business was growing bigger and bigger. Now their products were sold not only in Beijing but also in other two countries.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was popular throughout the Three Kingdoms period.
Because he had promised to wait for Xin'er before, he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask Xin'er to come to Beijing. Now he finally has a chance to let Xin'er come back.
Mu Chen waited for a whole month.
…
June 15th.
Cai Ze's carriage finally arrived in the capital.
Mu Chen was waiting nervously at the city gate. He didn't know which carriage belonged to Cai Ze, so he could only stand there stupidly and look around.
"Master, you don't have any definite information on when Miss Yang will arrive. Why don't you go back to the mansion first and I'll wait here. When you pick her up, can you take her directly to the Mu Mansion?"
"Of course not," Mu Chen continued to stare ahead. "My uncle and aunt must miss Xin'er too. Why would it look like to bring her to the Mu Mansion instead of sending her to the Yang Mansion?"
The servant scratched his head and said nothing.
"Brother Mu."
A clear voice sounded from behind. Mu Chen's body stiffened for a moment and he turned around quickly.
Yang Xin stood behind him, wearing a plain dress, standing in the sun with a smile on her face, looking at him.
The wind lifted her hair and skirt. After nearly five years, she still looked as beautiful as ever.
The passers-by and noisy voices behind him seemed to be cut off, leaving his heart and eyes filled with only the woman he longed for day and night.
"Xin'er."
Mu Chen's voice was tender, and with a smile on his lips, he walked quickly to her, wanting to hold her in his arms, but he felt it was inappropriate and stopped himself from hugging her.
"You're finally back."
For almost five years, they only communicated through letters. Due to the long distance, it took a lot of time to go back and forth, so he couldn't go to see Xin'er even if he wanted to.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Yang Xin's eyes felt slightly hot.
In the past few years, she and Li Qian have been working outside, and her parents have been taken care of by her elder brother Mu.
She received letters from her parents, all of which praised Brother Mu for how well he took care of them.
"It's good that you're back. I'll take you back to the Yang Mansion first. Your uncle and aunt don't know you're coming today, so you can give them a surprise."
…
When the two arrived at the Yang Mansion, Lord Yang and Madam Yang were talking about Yang Xin.
Yang Xin made a gesture to the maid at the door to keep quiet, then tiptoed to the curtain and stood still.
"Master, you said Xin'er should come back this time. She has been gone for so many years. She is still young, but Mu Chen is not young anymore. It is not right for him to waste time like this."
"Mom," Yang Xin walked out from behind the curtain and threw herself into Madam Yang's arms, "I'm back."
"Hey, Xin'er is back."
Madam Yang hugged her tightly, her voice choked with sobs.
"You finally decided to come back. Mom and dad missed you every day and couldn't sleep well."
"My daughter won't leave anymore."
Yang Xin patted her back gently and said, "Okay, I will accompany you and dad well in the future."
Now their shop and restaurant are managed by a dedicated manager, and she and Sister Li only need to check the accounts regularly.
Madam Yang calmed down and noticed Mu Chen standing beside her, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Uncle, aunt."
Mu Chen greeted the two of them and wanted to say goodbye and leave.
