On the tenth day of the fourth month, Gu Shouxin set off with the remaining members of the delegation.
Everyone had agreed to start from the Princess Shrine, so he led his men there ahead to wait for the princesses and princes from various countries.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom entrusted all political affairs to his trusted confidants, and also set off with Cheng Huaijin and the children of his trusted confidants. After more than twenty years away, it was time for these children to return to their ancestral home.
The group was quite large. Even though Vice Minister Chen and Madam Peng had already taken some people back, there were still more than three hundred people left, including the soldiers of the Great Zhou.
The Peng family's children, Peng Ze, Peng Erlang, and Peng Silang, all followed Gu Shouxin, while Peng Sanlang was taken back by his mother, Madam Peng Er.
On the day of their departure, they learned that the people of Liusha Kingdom had come to see them off and warmly welcomed these people from Da Zhou to visit often in the future. They did not know that their Princess Xin Xin might not return after this trip. They cheered and urged Princess Xin Xin to bring back a few handsome young men from Da Zhou, saying that Liusha could afford to support them.
Gu Xin's sadness vanished instantly, and she readily agreed.
Lu Zheng's forehead was a little sore. This Uncle Jun was indeed worthy of coming from the Goddess Kingdom. Look at the people of the Flowing Sand Kingdom, openly telling their princess to find a few more handsome husbands.
Hmph, he probably wants the princess to go first so he can find an excuse himself!
Seeing Lu Zheng's dark expression, Gu Xin made a face at him.
What can Lu Zheng do? He's the one who's chosen his wife, so he'll have to pamper her!
However, when we get back, we must make sure the Emperor keeps his promise. Xin Xin is sixteen now and can get married. It would be best if she married Gu Nian together, so that he and Xue Er could get married together.
Lu Zheng thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.
"Hey, look, your fourth cousin is looking at you!" Xie Zhiyi suddenly called out to Huo Yanyu from inside the carriage.
"Yiyi, he's glaring at me. I broke the treasure he got in Yunhai yesterday, and he's angry!" Huo Yanyu glanced at him, quickly sat back in the carriage, and explained.
"No wonder Brother Peng has been so angry since this morning!" After saying goodbye to the people, Gu Xin joined the group chat with her sisters.
"He's stingy! I dislike stingy men the most!" Huo Yanyu pouted.
"Really? I think you like this kind of guy the most, Hanhan. Before, when we went to the Goddess Kingdom to relax, you saw the men there and said that if you had to choose, you'd rather choose Brother Peng than the men from the Goddess Kingdom!" Gu Si teased, then told Gu Xin, "Third Sister, Hanhan usually doesn't scold others, but he scolds Brother Peng. My dad said they're a pair of bickering lovers!"
“That’s probably it. Uncle has a good eye for people,” Gu Xin said earnestly.
"No way, don't bully me. Uncle Gu even said that my brother is the son-in-law he's interested in!" Huo Yanyu retorted.
“Yes! You’re right, Little Mouse is the brother-in-law we’ve got our eye on! Big Sister thinks so too!” Gu Nian and Gu Xin said in unison.
Gu Si blushed and looked at Huo Yanyu with a silly grin.
"Hahaha, silly girl, you're just flattering me! Someone like you who only bothers Fourth Cousin all the time, usually a well-bred young lady is treated like a heroine by Fourth Cousin, why are you so special to him, what else could it be but liking him?" Xie Zhiyi was overjoyed. Sure enough, it's more fun when all the sisters are together.
"Hmph! Xie Zhiyi, don't talk about me. Who is it that keeps talking about her other second cousin? I saw it just now. Look outside, that's where they're looking at Peng Erge!" Huo Yanyu retorted.
