The road from Qizhou to Yuzhou was not easy to travel. Ye Wanshu didn't notice it when she went there because she was in a hurry, but she realized how difficult it was when she came back.
Fortunately, there was a human pillow beside him, which was both good-looking and useful. When he was awake, he could ask Fu Mingchi to tell him some interesting stories about Yuezhou, and when he was sleepy, he could rest his head on his legs and fall asleep. The journey was not boring at all. After five or six days of bumpy ride, they finally arrived outside Yuzhou City.
Ye Wanshu was half asleep when she was suddenly awakened by the shouting outside. She opened her eyes, lifted the curtain and looked out, only to find that the carriage had stopped and the front was already surrounded by people who came to greet it, shouting "Long live the King of Yongning" with a deafening roar.
This was the first time Ye Wanshu had seen such a grand scene.
This time, Fu Mingchi took the lead and led 10,000 Yingzhou troops to resist the pirates heading west, thus protecting all parts of Yuezhou from pirate invasions. She had already expected to experience a bustling scene when she returned to the city, but this bustle was completely beyond her imagination.
In her opinion, this was no longer a good thing.
Glancing at Fu Mingchi, who was pretending to take a nap above, Ye Wanshu said softly, "The people of the entire city are waiting to see Your Highness. Are you going out?"
Fu Mingchi shook his head: "They disturbed Wan'er's sleep. I immediately asked Yan Jin to disperse them."
Hearing the conversation inside the carriage, Yan Jin hurriedly reported from outside, "Your Highness, nearly 200,000 people from the eight counties of Yuzhou and the surrounding areas have come to Yuzhou City. The Prime Minister has ordered me to ask Your Highness to change horses so that the people can see them."
Nearly 200,000 people came to welcome him?
Ye Wanshu's heart trembled, she was completely frightened by this number. If this got to the ears of Empress Dowager Gu in Lin'an, she would probably not be able to sleep for several nights.
After returning from Qizhou, the Yuezhou army did not make much noise, so as not to alarm so many people.
She had a vague feeling that someone was fanning the flames.
Just as I was wondering, I suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from a distance.
"Yuezhou's new academic official, Ji Yunze, has come with Yuezhou's students to welcome Prince Yongning back to the city."
Yunze?
Ye Wanshu was startled.
Why would he pick a fight with Fu Mingchi for no reason? How could a smart man like him not know that making such a big fuss would make Fu Mingchi an enemy?
"Your Highness, perhaps the people are too enthusiastic. You don't have to pay attention to what my father says," Ye Wanshu advised. "You haven't fully recovered yet. Why don't you lie down and rest for a while?"
"The Prime Minister is my future father-in-law. How can I not respect his words?"
Fu Mingchi smiled at her and said, "It just so happens that Wan'er will soon be the mistress of Yuezhou. I'm worried that the people from all over the country won't have the chance to see the princess in person. Let's take advantage of this opportunity today."
Before Ye Wanshu could even open her mouth to refuse, he picked her up and carried her out of the car, then jumped directly onto the black BMW next to her.
"Fu Mingchi." Ye Wanshu was a little angry and wanted to break free from him.
Fu Mingchi deliberately hugged her tightly and asked in a deep voice, "Why, Wan'er said before that she wanted to spend every day with me, was she lying to me?"
"Of course I mean it." While Ye Wanshu was arguing with him, she glanced over and saw Ji Yunze.
He stood in the center of the crowd, leaning his elbow on a crutch. He was clearly the most dazzling presence, yet he looked extremely lonely. Thinking of everything that had happened in the past, Ye Wanshu felt particularly uncomfortable.
Before he could figure out how to face him, Fu Mingchi behind him had already driven his horse forward towards the city gate.
Looking at this situation, Zhao Yingying pounded the carriage fiercely, wishing she could overturn it.
Glancing sideways at the angry look coming from beside her, Ye Wanshu really couldn't feel happy at this moment.
Fu Mingchi and Ji Yunze are both people the emperor values, and she doesn't want to see the two of them confronting each other from the bottom of her heart.
"Fu Mingchi, Ji Xuezheng has no ill intentions. He simply admires you and the soldiers of the three armies..."
Ye Wanshu was halfway through her explanation when Fu Mingchi interrupted her: "Wan'er cares so much about him? It seems scholars really do look different to Wan'er."
Seeing the horses getting closer and closer to Ji Yunze, Ye Wanshu's ears were buzzing from the cheers around her. She could smell the strong smell of vinegar behind her and didn't dare to look at him at all.
But when that bastard Fu Mingchi got in front of Ji Yunze, he deliberately stopped his horse.
Raising his hand towards the people around him, and when the noise died down, Fu Mingchi slowly looked towards Ji Yunze and said coldly, "Ji Xuezheng is so thoughtful. The prince and the princess thank him for his kindness."
Ji Yunze held his crutch and glanced at Fu Mingchi. As his gaze slowly moved to Ye Wanshu, his eyes suddenly dimmed, filled with unspeakable sadness.
"Ji Xuezheng, you don't recognize my princess yet, right? She is the daughter of the Prime Minister, and I heard that she and Ji Xuezheng are from the same hometown."
Fu Mingchi said loudly, "I am a rough man and do not understand the tedious formalities of scholars. Now that I have chosen her, I wish to let everyone in the world know her immediately, and let everyone know that she is the princess of Yongning Palace."
At this moment, Concubine Zhang walked out of the city holding Fu Yunni's hand, followed by officials from Yuzhou Prefecture.
"My son is right," said Concubine Zhang. "This Miss Ye is the daughter-in-law I have chosen. She will marry into the Yongning Palace in half a month. I hope the people of Yuezhou will respect her as much as they respect me."
Having just been stopped by the palace's servants and relatives in the city, Concubine Zhang was extremely angry when she encountered such a scene when she was leaving the city.
Looking around at the crowd of people around her, everyone's face was full of enthusiasm, but she couldn't feel happy at all.
People from several states gathered in Yuzhou, and students from all over the country came from far away. This was not a welcome at all, it was clearly roasting her son on the fire.
