Chapter 243 Welcome the Princess Home
After hearing Chunzhi say this, Huo Yanran couldn't help but feel a little yearning for Xizhou.
At the same time, she also understood that life in Xizhou was really difficult nowadays. If her sister-in-law could say something about the other advantages of Xizhou, instead of just saying that the people in Xizhou were simple and honest, she would know that things would be fine in the future.
The Thirteenth Princess asked about the Seventh Brother's recent situation. Chunzhi said, "He is doing well, but he is very busy every day."
"It would be strange if Seventh Brother wasn't busy." Huo Yanran said, "When he was young, he was busy studying. Later, after he entered politics, he was busy doing his work. Now, even the war and peace talks have him taking charge of the overall situation. Isn't he busy all day long?"
Chunzhi smiled and passed over the topic without saying anything more. Instead, she asked the Thirteenth Princess, "How have you been these days? Xiaoxinghui must have troubled you a lot, right?"
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? How could our Xiao Xinghui cause any trouble? He's the joy of all of us." Huo Yanran said, raising her hand to pinch Xiao Xinghui's face. "Ever since Xiao Xing returned to Qiwu Palace, I've also been living in my mother's palace. Our relationship has gotten even better."
Xiaoxing doesn't like having his face pinched. His little face is wrinkled like a little bun, and he opens his mouth to bite his aunt.
Huo Yanran didn't know how many times she had taken the opportunity to pinch her nephew's face. She knew how he would react. Before Xiaoxing could bite back, she withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Ah, I can't bite you, I can't bite you."
Xiao Xing was so angry that she said, "Lulu, bad, Lulu, bad."
His aunt's name was not clear and she always called it "lulu".
Huo Yanran was happy to take advantage of this opportunity and said with a smile: "Xiaoxing is right, Lulu is bad, and Auntie is good."
"Bad!" Xiaoxing replied with only one word.
Chunzhi didn't know how many times Huo Yanran had to provoke Xiaoxing before such a young child understood what "bad" meant.
She couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, Yanran, stop teasing him."
Huo Yanran never tired of teasing her nephew. In order to divert Princess Thirteen's attention, Chunzhi asked her, "How's your selection of a consort going?"
Huo Yanran's interest immediately waned when she heard this. "Sister-in-law, you really can bring up things that are not related to the topic."
Chunzhi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter which pot you bring up. What needs to be opened will eventually open."
Every time there was a festival or holiday, it was a great opportunity for families to meet each other and pair up young boys and girls. This was the same for the common people, the rich and powerful, and even the imperial palace.
Chunzhi spent the New Year in Xizhou. The war was still going on and so many refugees had no food to eat. No one had the heart to celebrate the New Year, so everyone was busy with their own things and the New Year passed just like that.
But things are different here in the capital, and the Thirteenth Princess is already seventeen years old after the New Year.
Previously, Queen Wang wanted to betroth Huo Yanran to Wang Wulang, but Huo Yanran witnessed Wang Wulang and the young general of the Xu family fighting in the street over an actor, and the incident was brought to the attention of Queen Wang, so the marriage was called off.
But Huo Yanran is already of marriageable age, and if she doesn't settle the marriage soon, something unexpected might happen.
Huo Yanran got a headache when she thought about this.
But no matter how much of a headache it is, you still have to face what you have to face.
What's more, after the incident with Wang Liulang, Princess Thirteen discovered that her mother was also very concerned about her. At least between promoting the Wang family and her lifelong event, her mother chose her.
This was also the biggest reason why Huo Yanran dared to live in her mother's palace after Xiaoxing returned to live in Qiwu Palace, and their mother-daughter relationship became closer and closer.
Huo Yanran was grateful to her sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart, so she said to Chunzhi, "Since my sister-in-law is willing to be with my seventh brother, she is obviously a discerning person. Why don't you choose a prince consort for me?"
Upon hearing this, Chunzhi said with a hint of laughter, "Are you throwing this difficult problem to me?"
Queen Wang has not been able to pick out a suitable husband for the Thirteenth Princess yet. Could it be that she can pick one with just one try?
As the two were talking, they just happened to arrive at the palace gate. Chunzhi carried Xiaoxinghui and Huo Yanran boarded the carriage one after another, and Cui'er and several palace maids accompanied them.
The carriage passed through the streets and soon arrived at the Chang'an Palace.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Butler Cheng and Yuzhu came forward with a group of maids and attendants. They all saluted and said in unison, "Welcome home, Princess!"
They were talking about returning home, not returning home.
Chunzhi came back from Xizhou all the way, and only at this moment did she feel like she was home.
Cui'er lifted the curtain and was shocked to see the scene.
When the little girl followed the princess in Xizhou, the princess kept everything simple and had never seen such a scene.
Chunzhi carried Xiaoxing back out of the carriage and said softly, "Everyone, get up."
Huo Yanran then walked out. Seeing this, everyone in the Chang'an Palace hurriedly saluted the Thirteenth Princess.
Huo Yanran smiled and said, "Don't be partial to one over the other. Why don't you say welcome home to this princess?"
For her, wherever her seventh brother and sister-in-law are, that is also her home.
Upon hearing this, Yuzhu smiled and agreed to Princess Thirteen's request, "Princess Thirteen, welcome home."
"Welcome Princess Thirteen home."
Butler Cheng and the others all repeated it.
Huo Yanran was very satisfied, "That's pretty good."
As Chunzhi walked in, she said to Yuzhu and Cheng Guanjia, "Thanks to you for taking care of the palace these days."
Cheng Wen, the palace steward, dared not take credit for this and quickly said, "It's all part of my job, your Highness, you're too kind."
Yuzhu also said: "I didn't do anything. Everyone in the mansion is doing their job and everything is in order. We are all looking forward to my sister and the prince returning home soon."
Chunzhi smiled and said, "The prince should be back soon."
"Let me carry Xiaoxing back so that you can take a break."
Yuzhu hadn't seen Xiaoxing for a long time and missed him very much. She also felt sorry for Chunzhi who must be very tired from traveling for days, so she reached out to take the child.
"I'm not tired." Chunzhi held Xiaoxing back without any intention of handing him over. She said softly, "I haven't hugged him for a long time. He's a little clingy to me right now."
Yuzhu was also a mother, so she knew that the child must be very clingy after not seeing her for so long, so she withdrew her hand and said, "Then I won't argue with you, sister."
As Chunzhi walked into the corridor, she asked Yuzhu, "Where's Nian'er? I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you too."
Yuzhu's eyes became softer as she thought of her little daughter. "Nian'er is taking a nap. I'll bring her over later."
As the two were talking, a servant came in and said, "Princess, Miss Song and Master Song are here."
"Wan'er and brother are here?" Chunzhi knew they would come, but she didn't expect them to arrive so soon. She turned around and said, "Please invite them in."
"Yes, Princess." The servant responded and left.
After a while, the Song brothers and sisters came in together.
Song Wan'er came quickly, running towards Chunzhi like a young swallow flying into the forest, and hugged her and Xiaoxing together, "Sister, you are finally back. I missed you so much!"
