Chapter 1193 I’m afraid of raising an ungrateful person
The wheels rolled, raising a cloud of dust as they left the city of Peking.
Originally, the prince should follow his mother, and the princess should follow her mother, but Xu Miaoyin has been rather distant from Zhu Chengxuan recently, so the King of Wei and Princess Xinping were arranged to ride in the same carriage. In order to prevent Zhu Chengxuan from being too lonely or embarrassed, Nan Yan did not carry Princess Xinping into her carriage.
He also stuffed Mingxin into the car.
Therefore, this carriage is the most lively one.
Xiaoxinping was already one and a half years old at this time. He was full of strength and had a loud voice. He jumped up and down in the carriage like an energetic puppy.
Her brother Zhu Chengxuan and the little monk Mingxin were afraid that she would fall, so they were scared and protected her at all times. Screams and laughter could be heard from the carriage from time to time, which added some fun to this originally boring journey.
This time, Xinping crawled in the carriage for a long time. Just after catching his breath, he looked at the window next to him.
"I want--!"
Xiaopang pointed at the window and said, "I want it!"
Zhu Chengxuan said with a smile, "Xinping, that's a window. We can't have it."
At this time, Mingxin smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince Wei, the princess means that she wants to see it."
"oh?"
Zhu Chengxuan turned to look at him, and sure enough, he clapped his hands in delight and shouted, "I want to see it!"
Zhu Chengxuan smiled and shook his head, then moved over to pick up his plump sister. Feeling the pressure, he smiled and said, "Xinping, you've grown so fat that I can't hold you anymore."
What he didn't expect was that he couldn't hold the baby because he was too thin.
Xinping smiled and stretched out his hands to grab the window frame, leaning his upper body out to look outside.
After leaving the city of Peking, the official roads in this area were thought to have been cleared, so there were no other pedestrians. It was the turn of spring and summer, and the scenery was very beautiful, with beautiful mountains and clear waters around, which was a scenery that could not be seen in the imperial palace.
Xinping jumped for joy: "Wow!"
Zhu Chengxuan was originally holding her with great reluctance, but he didn't expect her to jump around like that, and suddenly he couldn't hold her anymore. Xinping lost her balance all of a sudden and fell out.
"ah!"
Mingxin, who was standing by, screamed in fright and hurriedly reached out to grab it, but it was too late.
At this moment, a hand reached out from outside and caught Princess Xinping.
He helped her back steadily.
Zhu Chengxuan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly hugged Xinping tightly with both hands. He looked up and saw Li Bushang, who had been following outside the carriage. He said, "Your Highness the Prince of Wei, Your Highness the Princess, please be careful."
"Thank you very much."
Zhu Chengxuan was so frightened that he even thanked him.
Holding Xinping in his arms, he returned to the carriage and said with a cold sweat, "Xinping, stop making trouble. It was so dangerous just now."
But Xinping didn't feel any danger at all. He was still nestled in his brother's arms, giggling non-stop, as if he found it very funny: "Awoo."
Seeing him like this, Zhu Chengxuan couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.
The commotion on this side was not loud, but it was still seen by the people in the other carriage. Concubine An lowered the curtain, and a hint of indifference appeared on her face.
Concubine Kang Feng Qianyan, standing by, whispered, "Sister An, I've never really known who Commander Li is. Why does it seem like he has a special status? The way the Emperor speaks to him is different from how he speaks to others."
Anpin glanced at her and said calmly, "You entered the palace late, so of course you don't know. He was picked up by our imperial concubine."
"Noble Concubine? Picked up? What's going on?"
"Two years ago... almost three years ago now. At that time, the imperial concubine was just a servant beside the emperor. When she was accompanying the emperor on an inspection tour of Yongzhou, she found a little beggar, Li Bushang."
"oh……"
"Then he followed the emperor back to the palace. He was previously raised in the Jian family, but then he disappeared. He was gone for two years. When he reappeared, the emperor had already moved the capital. During the sacrifice at the Grand Altar, he suddenly became the commander of the Jinyiwei."
"It seems that the emperor still thinks highly of him."
Gao Yurong raised her willow-like eyebrows and sneered, "Yes, I'm afraid of raising an ungrateful person."
Feng Qianyan was stunned for a moment, as if she sensed something. After thinking for a while, she continued, "No wonder. I see that he seems to be very close to the imperial concubine. So there is such a connection."
"Close..."
The sarcasm on Gao Yurong's face deepened, and she said, "Of course... close."
As she spoke, she lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside.
Li Bushang had been riding his horse beside the King of Wei's carriage, but his eyes were always fixed on a carriage not far ahead. Needless to say, it was the imperial concubine's carriage.
Gao Yurong sneered, "It's better to be close to each other."

There were so many imperial carriages, and the people in each carriage seemed to have their own thoughts. With such thoughts, after more than a month's journey, they finally arrived at the former imperial capital - Jinling.
At this time, it is already summer.
Before entering Jinling, they had already received news that officials and people from Jinling would come to the city gate to welcome the emperor. The emperor returned to the old imperial capital so soon after moving the capital, and to enshrine the relics of the previous emperor. This was naturally a big event, so even if it was just a reception, it would be a very grand scene.
Nan Yan and the others changed into formal clothes early, and asked Ran Xiaoyu to lightly draw their eyebrows and put on makeup, and comb their hair very neatly.
Sitting in the carriage, he held his neck straight, afraid of ruffling his clothes and hair.
After swaying like this for a while, when they reached the foot of Jinling City, Nan Yan's neck was almost broken and she was in great pain. Ran Xiaoyu could only support her back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Your Majesty, please bear with it a little longer, we will be there soon."
Finally, the imperial carriage arrived at the city gate.
From afar, one could see colorful flags fluttering on the city walls. The officials at the city gate and the common people behind them were divided into two teams, standing upright. Apart from the flags fluttering in the wind, in such a large scene with so many people, not even a gasp or cough could be heard.
As soon as Zhu Feng's golden carriage stopped, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor!"
"Long live the emperor."
Zhu Feng slowly walked out of the golden carriage, looked at the scene before him, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his sleeves: "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
These people slowly stood up.
Zhu Feng raised his head and looked at the towering city wall in front of him.
He originally had no memory of this place, but when he saw the tall watchtower, the gray city walls, and the flying flags, it seemed as if some of his memories came back to him all at once.
However, when he turned around, he saw the imperial concubine's carriage. The wind blew up the curtains, revealing her figure.
Immediately, Zhu Feng's face darkened.
