The next day, the military camps of the two princely mansions set off together and left Luozhou.
Upon arriving at the boundary, Helian Jue and his wife bid farewell to the Fourth Prince and his wife.
At other times, Princess Xu would not mind visiting the Prince of Yue's residence.
But it's already December.
The Lunar New Year is less than a month away.
As Chinese people, it is customary to go home for the Spring Festival. There is no reason to spend the Spring Festival at someone else's home.
Even if they are brothers, it won't work!
"Brother and sister-in-law, take care!"
The fourth prince bowed and took his leave, having realized that he was the pillar of the Yong Prince's Mansion and was responsible for handling important matters.
The fourth prince seemed to have a sense of mission, and became increasingly solemn.
Helian Jue raised an eyebrow. Oh wow, this silly younger brother has improved after all.
His alluring peach blossom eyes gently swept over Princess Xu.
Helian Jue knew very well that the fourth prince's transformation was all thanks to this woman.
Although she can't compare to his wife, Ah Yuan, she's still a virtuous wife!
"Your Highness, take care!"
"Sister Yuan, have a safe journey!"
Princess Xu first bid farewell to Helian Jue in a proper manner, and then waved affectionately to Xie Yuan.
"treasure!"
"Bon Voyage!"
Helian Jue and Xie Yuan also bowed in return.
The large army that had originally gathered together split into two parts at the boundary between the prefecture and the county.
Helian Jue and Xie Yuan did not rush to leave, but sat on their horses and watched the troops of the Prince of Yong's mansion depart first.
Let's go!
Seeing the large entourage of Prince Yong's mansion slowly disappear into the distance, Helian Jue turned to Xie Yuan and said, "A Yuan, you should go and take the carriage."
He hadn't forgotten that his Ah Yuan was pregnant.
During yesterday's banquet, Helian Jue very consciously replaced Xie Yuan's wine with fruit juice.
Now that we need to hurry back to Yuezhou, riding a horse is too tiring; it's much more comfortable and safer to take a carriage.
Helian Jue didn't really like children, but he was still very much looking forward to the child that A Yuan bore for him.
The key point is that A-Yuan likes it.
The saying "love me, love my dog" perfectly describes Helian Jue's behavior.
"good!"
Feeling Helian Jue's concern, Xie Yuan was also worried about the child, so he followed Helian Jue's suggestion, dismounted, and got into the carriage.
The carriage had been modified by Xie Yuan, making it smooth and comfortable.
Although not as smooth as an oxcart, a horse-drawn carriage is fast.
Xie Yuan's carriage did not slow down the journey of the main group.
A few days later, they entered Yuezhou.
Before the New Year, Helian Jue and his wife returned to the Yue Prince's Mansion.
The entire Prince's residence was already filled with a festive atmosphere.
Hang lanterns and tie colorful ribbons.
All sorts of New Year's goods and holiday gifts poured into the Prince's Mansion in an endless stream.
In addition, the local powerful families all sent New Year's gifts and invitations to the Prince's Mansion.
It's not a good time to visit others during the Chinese New Year, but after the New Year, you can still find an excuse to host some banquets.
Originally, through the second auction, the Yue King's Palace collaborated with several powerful clans to build a treasure ship.
The relationship between the two sides has improved significantly.
However, the trouble caused by Xie Ze and the remnants of the Cui family was exploited by powerful clans and almost led to an attack on the Prince's mansion.
Xie Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and directly sent the corpses of those assassins to the various powerful clans.
The relationship between the Yue King's Mansion and the several powerful clans became somewhat delicate.
They didn't break off relations, but the intimacy of their previous collaboration was gone.
Before the treasure ship was built, both sides maintained a veil of secrecy.
Once shared interests are no longer present, or if any unforeseen event occurs, the unspoken understanding will be immediately revealed.
When Xie Yuan arrived at the military camp and personally took care of Helian Jue, he also told him about these things.
Actually, Xie Yuan had written a letter to Helian Jue before this.
Although Helian Jue was far away in Luozhou, he knew about the major and minor events that were happening in Yuezhou.
However, writing a letter is different from speaking in person.
Helian Jue already trusted Xie Yuan a lot; they were husband and wife, and were essentially a community of shared interests.
Helian Jue instinctively supported Xie Yuan's decision.
Then came Xie Yuan's "heroic act" of risking his life to follow him, and Helian Jue directly regarded Xie Yuan as his life's destiny.
Xie Yuan's thoughts and actions were equivalent to his will.
"Okay! Everything will be as you wish, A-Yuan!"
Whether it's making ruthless decisions or doing good deeds, Helian Jue will have no objections.
To be honest, Helian Jue was pleased to see Xie Yuan take action against Xie Ze's family.
Ah Yuan, you've finally grown up!
She must have realized that she was no longer an ordinary noblewoman, but the powerful and influential Princess Consort of Yue!
Imperial power must not be desecrated.
Even a princess must have a minimum of dignity and respect!
Ah Yuan in the past was good in every way, except that he was too soft-hearted and treated others too kindly.
For example, Zhou Wencheng!
Hmph, let him be the governor!
Given Helian Jue's pettiness and ruthlessness, it was already considered merciful that he spared Zhou Wencheng's life.
However, since A Yuan has put forward such an idea, Helian Jue will only support it.
Therefore, while still in the military camp, Helian Jue wrote a letter to the capital and sent it by carrier pigeon.
After these days, there should be a result in the capital.
The couple discussed things amicably, respected each other, and maintained a harmonious atmosphere.
The New Year at the Yue Prince's Mansion was especially festive.
The husband returned in triumph, and the wife was pregnant—it was truly a double celebration!
The servants came and went, and the soldiers were all happy.
Little Fatty Xie Zhen was also overjoyed.
Light firecrackers and write Spring Festival couplets.
The little one is doing a pretty good job.
