Chapter 108 Chapter 108 (Additional update)

In the evening.

Xu Duanyi and his party arrived in the capital.

"Will you follow me into the palace or go back to the palace?" Empress Dowager Zhaoyu asked Xu Duanyi when they arrived in the capital.

Xu Duanyi couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this.

She hadn't been back to the palace for a long time, and since Xie Qingya had also returned, she naturally wanted to go back and take a look.

But my aunt's headache has not healed.

Even though Aunt Danfeng was there, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After struggling for a while, Xu Duanyi finally held Empress Dowager Zhaoyu's hand and said to her, "I will accompany my aunt to the palace. I will return to the palace after your headache is healed."

When Empress Dowager Zhaoyu heard this, her heart softened.

Even the irritability I had felt for the past few days has improved a little.

Holding Xu Duanyi's hand, Empress Dowager Zhaoyu looked at her with pity. In the end, she did not let anyone go with her. She just said to her softly, "You haven't been home for a long time. Go back to the palace first. Your aunt is fine."

"If there is anything, I will have someone pass the message to you." This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you. Before Xu Duanyi could say anything, Queen Mother Zhao Yu looked at her and suddenly said sternly: "If you have any problems, remember to tell your aunt, don't handle it alone, understand?"

When Xu Duanyi heard her say this, her nose felt sore again. She buried her face in her aunt's shoulder and nodded softly.

After arriving in the south of the city, Xu Duanyi separated from Empress Dowager Zhaoyu.

Empress Dowager Zhaoyu brought a large number of troops back to the palace, while Xu Duanyi brought Shi Yu and was escorted back to the Prince of Nan'an's Palace by several soldiers assigned to her by Empress Dowager Zhaoyu.

When we arrived at the palace.

It was getting dark.

The servants at the door were extremely surprised to see her come back.

Before accompanying her into the palace, someone quickly went inside to report the news. Halfway through, Aunt Deng, who received the news, also hurried out to greet her.

I saw Xu Duanyi from a distance.

Aunt Deng couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears.

"Princess, you are finally back!"

It has been nearly a month since the princess left last time. Although she had received the prince's assurance in advance, Aunt Deng was still a little uneasy.

This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team. Now we can really see the princess appearing in the palace.

Her uneasy heart finally settled back into her stomach.

He held the princess' hand and refused to let go.

I kept looking at her, wanting to say that she had lost weight, but then I immediately remembered where she came from.

If you say this, it would be extremely disrespectful.

She can only ask people what they want to eat at night so that she can ask the kitchen to prepare it.

Xu Duanyi was not polite either.

She hadn't been back for a long time and really missed the food cooked by the chef in the palace.

Her aunt's taste is bland, so when she accompanies her aunt on weekdays, her taste naturally becomes bland as well... She said to Aunt Deng, "Aunt, ask the kitchen to make a few more spicy dishes today. I haven't eaten them for a while, and I'm a little hungry."

How could Aunt Deng not agree? She smiled and said yes.

After walking a few steps, Xu Duanyi asked Aunt Deng: "Aunt, has the prince returned?"

When Aunt Deng heard this, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

The last time the prince came back, he asked about the princess's whereabouts without saying a few words. Now the princess is also... Her hope in her heart has finally come true.

Good times always come after bad times.

This is indeed true!

She looked at the princess with a smile, and when she saw that the princess was embarrassed by her gaze and her eyes drooped, she knew that the princess was shy. She was afraid that she would ignore the prince again, so she immediately smiled and said, "The prince went to the government office to report today. When I came here just now, I had sent someone to bring a letter to the prince, saying that you are back."

Hearing this, Xu Duanyi could not help but sigh softly: "That's not necessary..."

She wasn't that anxious.

"Yes." Aunt Deng supported her arm, smiling, and continued to talk to her, "The prince has missed you a lot recently. When he came back the day before, he asked about your whereabouts and even went to Linfeng Pavilion specially."

"Now that he knows you're back, the prince must be very happy. I'm afraid he'll have to hurry back as soon as he gets the news."

Xu Duanyi's face turned red again after hearing what was said.

It was no use talking to Aunt Deng, and she was really looking forward to meeting Xie Qingya as soon as possible, so she didn't say anything else.

We chatted all the way.

Xu Duanyi was naturally concerned and asked about the recent situation in the palace.

When we are almost at Linfeng Pavilion.

From a distance, I could see Bixi leading Xiuyu and others standing at the door.

When Aunt Deng saw this, she said to Xu Duanyi, "Miss Bixi and the others must have missed you very much recently."

I didn't want to disturb their conversation between master and servant.

Aunt Deng did not follow. After saying something to the princess, she let go of Xu Duanyi's arm and planned to go to the kitchen to busy herself.

As soon as Aunt Deng said goodbye, Bixi ran towards Xu Duanyi with red eyes.

Xiu Yu and others behind him could not hide their excitement.

"Master!" Bixi ran over first, looked at Xu Duanyi, and called her with tears in her eyes.

Following closely behind me came greetings one after another.

One after another.

Everyone stood around Xu Duanyi.

Xu Duanyi looked at them and smiled, and said yes to them, then he said to them, "Go in first."

Bixi and Shiyu accompanied her into the house first, followed by Xiuyu and others.

This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team. Xu Duanyi looked at this familiar scene, and the smile on his face, which had not faded since he entered the palace, became even brighter.

Especially when you enter the yard and see the peach tree full of fruits.

She couldn't help but think of the words Xie Qingya had asked her cousin to bring back that day. She told Bixi, "Have someone pick some peaches, wash them, and cut them into slices. I want to eat them tonight."

Naturally, Bi Xi had no objection.

She did not go herself, but turned around and told Xiuyu to take people to pick some. Then she helped Xu Duanyi in and said to her in a low voice, "Master, Qiao Zhong came to see me today."

Xu Duanyi paused, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

Just as I was about to ask, a familiar voice came from behind me again: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"

On the way, Xu Duanyi had already learned from Aunt Deng that Changning was fine. When he heard this voice, he had no doubts.

Turning around, I saw Changning and Ping'an.

Looking at these two familiar little ones, Xu Duanyi couldn't help but smile brightly and gently again.

She smiled and said "eh" to them both.

Then he took two steps towards the direction the two were coming from, and said to Bixi, "We'll talk later."

"yes."

"Sister-in-law, you're finally back. I missed you so much!" Chang Ning ran over and just like when Xie Qingya came back last time, he threw himself into Xu Duanyi's arms, telling her with red eyes how much he missed her.

Although Xie Ping'an's emotions were not as outgoing as Xie Changning's, when he saw Xu Duanyi, he even bowed to her politely.

But his eyes were also full of tension and concern.

Xu Duanyi touched Xie Changning's head and smiled at Xie Pingan: "Go in first, it's just right for you to have dinner at my place tonight."

She then instructed Shi Yu, "Go tell Aunt Deng to have the kitchen bring all the food for San Lang and Nv Lang to me later."

Shi Yu readily agreed and immediately went out to give orders.

Xu Duanyi led the brother and sister into the house first, and Bixi followed them in and poured them tea.

It's strange.

All in all, she had lived in Linfeng Pavilion for no more than a month.

But after coming back, she felt that all her fatigue was gone and she felt a lot more relaxed.

Everything in the house was exactly as it was before she left, without any movement.

"Sister-in-law, are you still going to walk?" Xie Changning looked up and followed her, still unable to hide his worry and asked.

Following behind him was Xie Pingan.

Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were always on Xu Duanyi and his face was tense.

Xu Duanyi actually didn't know what would happen next.

But looking at the eager and nervous faces of the two little ones, Xu Duanyi decided to look forward to everything.

After all, everything is getting better now.

"I'm not leaving."

She smiled and spoke to the two of them.

"That's good. I was really afraid that you would never come back." Xie Changning sobbed and started crying while hugging the person.

Seeing her like this, Xu Duanyi felt soft in her heart.

I couldn't help but touch her head again.

Just then, Bi Xi brought them the tea they usually drank, so Xu Duanyi asked them to sit down and drink tea first.

"Has your sister-in-law told your brother? Does your brother know that you are back?" Xie Changning asked again with concern.

Without waiting for Xu Duanyi to speak, she spoke for Xie Qingya first: "Brother has missed you these days. Every time we eat together, he would look at the empty seat next to him and be lost in thought for a long time."

Xie Pingan, who was sitting at the side, also said, "It's true."

This is something Aunt Deng didn’t say before.

Hearing this out of the blue, Xu Duanyi was surprised, but her heart softened again.

She couldn't wait to see him.

…

Shuntian government office.

It was time to go out, so Xie Qingya naturally did not delay and prepared to leave as soon as the time came.

This has to be put aside in the past.

The officials in the government office would definitely be afraid of him if they saw him like this, but now, one by one, they were very respectful to him when they saw him.

When he saw him from afar, he called out to him, "Master, come home."

Xie Qingya nodded to them and left.

As soon as he got outside and was about to ride home, he saw a servant from the mansion riding over first.

"It's Ah Si."

Changfeng also saw it and told Xie Qingya about it.

Xie Qingya frowned as he watched Ah Si getting closer.

If nothing happened at home, they would not let anyone come over at this time. When he was about to ask, he suddenly saw Ah Si seeing him and smiled happily.

"My Lord!"

It looked like some great happy event had happened, which was different from what he had originally guessed.

What good can come of this at this moment?

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and Xie Qingya's expression changed slightly. Before Ah Si came over, he grabbed the reins and asked impatiently, "Is she back?"

Ah Si had just dismounted from his horse and wanted to greet everyone before telling them the news of the princess' return.

I didn't expect to hear the prince's question first.

The footsteps paused.

He reacted quickly. After a moment's pause, he realized who the prince was talking about. He smiled and nodded, "Yes, prince, the princess is back!"

When Xie Qingya heard this, a brilliant smile almost immediately appeared on his face.

Without hesitation, he prepared to ride home.

But Xie Qingya had just ridden out with the reins in his hand for a short while when he saw Lingji riding over.

When Xie Qingya suddenly saw Lingji's face, he calmed down a lot.

Lingji arrived late and didn't know what had happened. When he saw Xie Qingya, he immediately rode over and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Commander Chai has sent us a message."
