After a long and tiring journey, Zong Zhengchen took her back to the house to rest without doing anything else. Wei Xi and Zi Ye followed behind:
"mother……"
Bang!
The door is closed.
They both: “…”
The servants were all surprised. "Mother? The two young masters recognized each other so quickly? They were cold-tempered since childhood, how come they were conquered by this woman?"
Butler Yang squatted down and asked with concern: "Master, Miss, is the princess kind to you? Is she kind from the bottom of her heart?"
He was worried that the princess was just pretending to marry Prince Chen. After all, how good could a stepmother be to the child?
Wei Xi smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Butler, she is our mother!"
"She gave birth to us, how could she be bad to us?" Zi Ye said.
"?" Butler Yang, "I think you all got confused after going out."
The two children looked at each other and smiled knowingly: "Grandpa Butler, you are confused. You will understand later."
Holding hands, they went back to their room to rest.
Main courtyard.
Qin Ye couldn't sit still, but Zong Zhengchen held him down forcefully, "Rest."
"I'm not tired."
After four years, she finally came back. She felt strange yet familiar and wanted to walk around and have a look.
"You are tired." Zong Zhengchen said, "I know you are excited. A new official takes three big steps to get started. The newly built toilet can be busy for three days. You should take a good rest first and get some energy. It won't be too late to go shopping later."
Qin Ye couldn't persuade him, so he had to lie down on the chaise longue, cross his legs and rest.
At this time.
Outside, a servant came to report: "Your Majesty, the Lord of Chaoci City came to congratulate you."
Qin Ye raised his eyebrows, "Guests are coming so soon?"
"I haven't returned to Jiangnan yet, but the invitations have already been sent out. Guests from far away have arrived in advance. I'll go and receive them and will be back soon." Zong Zhengchen said as he stood up.
When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said:
"I also sent an invitation to Zong Zhengli."
Qin Ye was slightly surprised.
In the past four years, the Dongling Kingdom has used the Wulan River as the boundary, and the north and south sides have not invaded each other and coexisted peacefully, but they have business dealings and the two brothers respect each other like guests.
"Will he come?"
"Whether he comes or not, the invitation has been sent. Whether he comes or not, it doesn't matter. In the end, he and I are still half brothers." After he said that, he went to the front hall to receive the guests.
Qin Ye was not sleepy, and Ai Ai also followed Jiangnan.
"Princess, the climate in Jiangnan is much milder than ours, and the sun is warm without burning you. I heard there are a lot of snacks and fun things to do here. Wow! Look at this flower, it's so beautiful. There's none in Nanyuan..."
Ai Ai has just arrived and everything is new to her.
Qin Yechong laughed and took her around, accidentally bumping into the bronze mirror on the dressing table, which made a crisp sound.
"Don't touch it, that's our princess' favorite dressing table!"
There was an angry cry, and a maid trotted in, protecting the dressing table with her hands.
Take a look.
Familiar faces.
It’s Xiaowu.
Qin Ye withdrew his hand and took two steps back.
"Don't touch the table!" Xiao Wu rushed over again anxiously, "That's the table our princess has used for several years!"
Qin Ye raised his hands, feeling both apologetic and relieved.
After several years, Xiaowu is still working here, and what's more heartwarming is that she is still protecting "Princess Chen".
Ai Ai was unhappy and said, "Our princess is the princess. You are clearly disrespecting the princess by saying this."
Xiao Wu said hostilely: "Our princess is already dead, Princess, are you going to die too?"
"you!"
"Ai Ai." Qin Ye held her shoulders and said with a smile, "Xiao Wu, I haven't seen you for four years. You have grown taller and become more eloquent."
