Chapter 266: Relatives meet and burst into tears
After the two stopped six times, they arrived at the capital of Loulan, Orchid City.
It is said that Loulan Capital got its name because of the popularity of orchids.
Sure enough, the temperature was getting higher and higher along the way.
When they arrived outside the city, they found a hidden place, let the carriage out, and Lou Shiyan also came out.
The three of them got on the carriage and headed for the city gate.
Lou Shiyan drove the carriage herself.
Originally, Yun Ranqing wanted to drive, but his face was too distinctive, so it was better to sit in the carriage.
When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate wanted to check, and Lou Shiyan directly took out her princess jade card, which scared the soldier to kneel down.
"Why don't you get out of the way?" Lou Shiyan shouted coldly.
The soldiers immediately made way and stopped other people who wanted to enter the city.
When the carriage went away, the soldier had not yet come to his senses.
Lou Shiyan was actually not familiar with this city, because she had been ill for many years and basically never left the palace, and had never walked around the streets.
As she walked and asked, she saw that there were very few people on the street. Everyone was hiding at home because of the heat. They would not go out unless they had to, but life had to go on and they still had to do business.
Feng Tianxing and Yun Ranqing had already cast a cooling spell on themselves so that they could not feel the heat outside.
The four palace guards guarding the palace gate had already been made drowsy and listless by the hot temperature.
Suddenly, a carriage drove slowly, and the driver was a woman, which made them feel quite novel.
Especially the gorgeous clothes on the woman, shining in the sunlight, aroused their great interest.
When the two horses were panting, they finally stopped in front of the palace gate.
The two men stepped forward and blocked their weapons in front.
"Who are you? The palace gate is a key place. No one can enter the palace without a summons." A palace guard shouted loudly.
"Well, you are doing your job well." Lou Shiyan was quite satisfied with their performance.
It shows that the palace is still in order.
There was a palace guard at the back, an old one. He looked at Lou Shiyan carefully, pushed the two guys, and knelt on the ground with a "thump": "I am here to see the eldest princess, and I am so happy for you."
"Hey, do you know me?" Lou Shiyan was a little surprised.
"My dear princess, I have been guarding the palace gate for more than ten years. I have seen the eldest princess several times, so I know her." The soldier replied with a smile.
"Can I go in?"
"I will send someone to pass the message inside, please come in, eldest princess." Several palace guards immediately made way.
One of them ran in to report to his superiors.
Everyone knew that the eldest princess was married to the Flame Kingdom, and she came back without any news. Of course, it was a big deal. How could the emperor not let her enter the palace?
But they couldn't understand why the eldest princess drove the carriage herself. They didn't know who was in the carriage that the eldest princess could drive herself.
And when did the princess learn to drive a carriage?
Lou Shiyan drove the carriage to the parking lot, and Feng Tianxing and the other person got out of the carriage.
The three of them walked slowly inside.
It was only the middle of the morning (ten o'clock in the morning), and Lou Shiyan was already sweating all over her head. She wiped it with a handkerchief from time to time.
She was only wearing a thin layer of clothes.
The weather at this time was like the hottest time in July.
And it was not even May yet.
Looking at some of the plants on the roadside in the palace, they were listless, obviously showing that they were seriously lacking water.
Lou Zhenxing heard the chief steward, Eunuch Liu, report that the eldest princess had returned and was on her way to the palace.
He simply couldn't believe it. It had only been so long since Concubine Luo wrote the letter, and she had arrived so soon?
"Quick, go and inform Concubine Luo." Lou Zhenxing was just suspicious for a moment, and also stood up and walked out.
His eldest princess had returned. She
had brought him five thousand-year-old ginsengs a few years ago.
She was a very filial daughter.
He also went to welcome her.
As a father, he hadn't seen her since she went to Huoyan, and it had been four years.
That was his first child.
If the empress hadn't been mischievous at the time, he would have had more children, and he wouldn't have had his first child at the age of twenty-two.
It was a pity that he was still tricked.
After the empress was banished to the cold palace, there was no empress.
The highest ranking person in the palace now is Concubine Luo.
Lou Haotian, who also heard the news, also ran over in a hurry.
The father and son hurried towards the palace gate.
When they saw the three people coming, they were indeed their relatives who had left the flames of war.
Lou Shiyan also saw the father and son.
She trotted forward, not caring whether the ground was dirty or not, and knelt down directly: "Your son kowtows to the emperor."
A big head bowed.
The 54-year-old Lou Zhenxing had tears in his eyes.
He personally stepped forward to help Lou Shiyan up from the ground.
"Big sister." Lou Haotian's eyes were also red.
They have a good relationship between siblings. Otherwise, he would not have been so shameless and spent a lot of money to ask for medicine for her.
"Royal brother." Lou Shiyan looked at them with tears and laughter.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, let's go to your mother's palace."
The father and son automatically ignored the two people behind them.
"Father, brother, these two are His Royal Highness Ming Wang and the eldest princess of Yanyan Country." Lou Shiyan took Feng Tianxing and introduced them to his relatives.
The father and son then turned their eyes to the two people.
"Hello, His Majesty Lou Lan, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Lou Lan." Feng Tianxing and the other two greeted in unison.
Lou Haotian took a look and saw that it was indeed the two of them.
"Welcome to the two guests who have come from afar." Lou Haotian said hurriedly.
"Are you two here to send my son back home?" Lou Zhenxing asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty Lou Lan." Yun Ranqing said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Thank you very much. Haotian, take the two princes to the embassy to stay first." Lou Zhenxing ordered.
"Where is my son, where is he?" A woman's voice came from afar, revealing infinite anxiety.
Several people looked at the way Lou Zhenxing and his son came.
They saw a woman in a gorgeous palace dress stumbling towards them, not looking like a lady at all. There
were several palace servants following behind her.
"My Lady Concubine, please slow down." The eunuch said anxiously. He was afraid that my Lady Concubine would accidentally fall to the ground, which would be a big deal.
"Mother." Lou Shiyan dropped Feng Tianxing's hand and hurried forward to meet the woman.
"It's really my son. My son, mother misses you so much that she can't even eat. It's been four years." Lou Guifei's tears rolled down. She hugged Lou Shiyan tightly.
Feng Tianxing looked at their family, who had a good relationship, and was moved to tears.
She liked a family with strong family affection the most.
This was even more rare in the royal family.
After the mother and daughter kissed enough, Lou Shiyan left Luo Guifei's arms.
"Mother, I miss you too. But don't worry, I am doing well and have made the best friends."
"You are already 32 years old and you are not married yet. How can you be doing well?"
Speaking of this, Luo Guifei was furious.
"Okay, mother, I came back with my friends. Please give me some face."
Lou Shiyan led Luo Guifei over and introduced Feng Tianxing and the others to her mother.
"Your Majesty, since they are Shiyan's friends, there is no need to let them live in the embassy."
"This..."
