"Even if it's for everyone, I will try my best to face everything." Qiu Yinong looked at everyone's smiling faces and promised solemnly. Others didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
The Qiu family remained silent, but they remained silent and did not show it, so as not to cause panic.
The next morning, Qiu Yinong set off for the capital with her grandmother, two mothers and sister-in-law.
After picking up Mo Niang, he used the art of shrinking the distance to an inch and came directly to the door of the inn. He wanted to visit his third brother, but the innkeeper said that the third brother had gone to Anping Town to visit his fiancée.
Qiu Yinong left a message and asked the shopkeeper to tell the third brother that he would go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year this year, and then he set off again.
Qiu Yinong used the technique of shrinking the earth into an inch again, and arrived at the outskirts of the capital city in the evening of that day.
"Wait!" Li Ao shouted loudly as the city gate was about to close.
The guard ignored them and when they got there, the gate slammed shut.
A soldier poked his head out and shouted, "The city gate is closed. Open it tomorrow morning and then enter the city!"
"The Third Prince and the Lord of Changping County are coming into the city. Open the gate quickly." Li Ao shouted loudly, holding the tokens of the two.
The guard's legs went weak when he heard this, and he quickly shouted to the people below, "Open the city gate."
He also ran down quickly. Li Ao heard the sound of a carriage coming from behind him and turned around to take a look.
There were two carriages, and four guards were guarding them.
The gate was just about to open, and the driver was about to drive the cart into the city when he was stopped by the city guards: "Who dares to barge in so recklessly?"
"The women of the Minister of War's family are sitting in the carriage. Are you trying to kill yourself? How dare you stop the carriage of our lady?" The coachman said with disdain, holding his head high proudly.
"So what if he is the Minister of War? The city gates are closed and no one can get in!" The guard sneered.
Then he came to the carriage in a flattering manner, took the token from Li Ao, looked at it carefully, and knelt down instantly.
"Your humble servant greets the Third Prince and Princess Changping!" When the female members of the Shangshu Mansion heard this, they quickly opened the window and peeked over here.
Chu Hongyun pushed open the window and was seen by the women inside the window.
The woman's excited voice came: "It is really His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
"We want to enter the city!" Chu Hongyun looked at the guard and gave the order. The guard quickly ordered people to remove the obstacles and respectfully let the carriage in.
The Shangshu Mansion's carriage also wanted to follow in, and the guarding commander did not offend anyone.
They were asked to produce a token, and a token was immediately handed out from inside the car, and only then were they allowed to enter the city.
After all, she is the wife of the Minister of War, and it is not easy to offend her.
"Hurry and see which way the third prince's carriage is going!" A woman's anxious voice came from inside the carriage.
The coachman hurriedly drove into the city, but he couldn't even see the shadow of Chu Hongyun's carriage. What kind of horse is this? It runs too fast!
"Miss, the Third Prince's carriage is no longer in sight." The coachman reported quickly.
The guard heard the woman's insults in the carriage and felt disdainful.
He used to be a man who acted superior to everyone, but today when he heard it was the Third Prince, he rushed forward. It was really a joke.
In the past, when the Third Prince was out of favor, he probably wouldn't even want to look at her.
This time, the Third Prince and Princess Changping have made great contributions. The Emperor intends to give the throne to the Third Prince. He is really rushing to take advantage of the situation, and his greed is really ugly.
"Let's go back!" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the carriage behind.
The coachman who was driving the young lady breathed a sigh of relief, responded, and drove towards the Shangshu Mansion.
Qiu Yinong did not go directly to the palace, nor did she return to the Qiu family. Instead, she went directly to her own princess's mansion, which was originally the county princess's mansion.
Fortunately, the mansion given by the emperor was very large, so there was no need to give another house.
"Who is it?" Zi Yao went forward and knocked on the door, and the doorman soon brought a message.
"The princess has returned home, open the door quickly." After hearing Zi Yao's words, a sound of falling was heard from inside the door, and soon the sound of clothes rubbing against each other was heard.
Then the door opened, and the servant smiled at Zi Yao in a very embarrassed manner, and secretly touched his butt with one hand.
It was obvious that he had fallen quite hard. Zi Yao noticed his small movements and asked, "Are you okay?"
"No, it's okay." The servant was even more embarrassed. He quickly opened the door and stood respectfully at the door.
"My humble servant greets the princess." The servant bowed respectfully. Not long after, the housekeeper and his entourage were alarmed and rushed over, kneeling on the ground.
Qiu Yinong raised her hand and said, "Everyone, get up. Tell the kitchen to prepare some food and boil some hot water."
"Yes, Princess, Third, Third Prince!" The butler looked up and was about to ask if there was anything he should avoid eating, but he met Chu Hongyun's eyes.
The servants in this princess's mansion were either arranged by the emperor or Showa.
They have all met Qiu Yinong and the other one.
"No need to be so polite, just do as the princess tells you." Chu Hongyun waved his hand, and the housekeeper responded quickly.
Qiu Yinong and his party entered the mansion. The capital had just experienced a light snowfall not long ago, and there was still unmelted snow on the withered flowers and plants.
"We reached the capital in just one day. How did we do that?" Mo Niang was still confused. How could we set out in the morning and arrive in the evening?
What on earth was going on? She was now a little dazed. Could it be that it was just an illusion?
In fact, Qingquan Town is only one day away from the capital?
Seeing that she was in a trance, Qiu Yinong moved her fingers, and soon Mo Niang returned to normal.
Sun Guiying and the others knew that the girl must have done something, but they would not ruin their own Jiaojiao's plan.
"Grandma, are you okay after sitting in the carriage all day?" Qiu Yinong walked up to Sun Guiying and asked. Sun Guiying quickly said that she was fine, the carriage was spacious and comfortable, and she was not tired at all.
Qiu Yinong is already preparing to refine the carriage again, so that he can build a four-bedroom, one-living-room house, which will be more convenient.
Fang Yunxiang and Qin Yuerong also said that the carriage was very comfortable and they didn't feel any bumps at all, and the eldest sister-in-law nodded continuously.
Seeing that they were not feeling unwell, Qiu Yinong was completely relieved. Then, Qiu Yinong asked Mo Niang.
"Auntie Mo, tell me about your husband's family situation!"
Mo Niang was silent for a while, put down the tea bowl, and began to tell the story.
Li Yunshu treated her very well. Mo Niang was originally a maid beside Li Yunshu, and later she was married to He Mingde, the housekeeper.
He Mingde's father had saved the old man's life, so he got his indenture contract early on and was granted a new status as a good citizen.
Mo Niang's father was once the steward of the Li family, but he died in an accident. Lord Li took pity on them, an orphan and a widow, so he returned their indentures and gave them the status of commoners.
Mo Niang stayed with Li Yunshu to serve her. Before she got married, Li Yunshu went to the yamen in person to obtain the status of a good citizen for Mo Niang.
Mo Niang's mother also stayed in the Li family to work, while her eldest brother returned to his ancestral home to live.
