"Live a thousand years, Your Highness Prince Su, and live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years—"
"Long live the princess, long live the princess—"
Citizens on the streets knelt on the ground to welcome their Prince Su, the princess and the little prince back to the imperial city.
They expressed their excitement about Prince Su's return to Jinling with extremely excited moods, warm eyes and cheerful tones.
Today, not only the streets and alleys are crowded with people.
The upper floors of many buildings were filled with heads of people.
Some even climbed onto the roof and shouted, "Long live the King Su!"
"Now that Prince Su is back, peace will finally come to our Daliang..."
"Long live His Highness!"
The guards from the patrol camp flew up and captured the man, but the people on the street were all echoing the slogan.
"His Royal Highness Prince Su is finally back."
"Woo, woo, that's great. What kind of life have we Daliang people been living in these years?"
"That's right. Those in the palace are only concerned with fighting for power and profit. Who cares about the lives of us ordinary people?"
"Is this dire situation finally coming to an end?"
"I think you shouldn't be too happy too soon. I heard that many officials from the Great Chu came here because they are worried that Your Highness will stay in Jinling and not return to Nan'an!"
"Look, there they are—they're wearing different clothes than us!"
For a moment, the people glared at the officials of Da Chu with anger in their eyes.
That look seemed to turn into a knife, frightening all the officials of the Chu State riding on horseback, and they felt as if a thorn was on their backs, and they felt pain all over their bodies.
"They actually dare to come here, aren't they afraid of not coming back?"
"If they don't come, will they really hand over the great and wise emperor that we rarely see in a century to our Daliang? If it were me, I would come even at the risk of my own life."
"That's true. Your Highness is still a thousand-year-old in Daliang. I don't know if the officials in the court can keep Your Highness..."
"Who knows? Hey, look, that's the princess——"
"That's the real daughter of the Li family back then, right? Back then, the real and fake daughters of the Li family caused a lot of trouble in Jinling. Their stories were everywhere."
"What Li family? This Yaoguang County Lady later broke away from the clan along with General Pei. The Li family was also confiscated and exiled a long time ago. The Yaoguang County Lady has nothing to do with them!"
"After all, we all share the same roots. If we say we've left our clan, how can we escape our bloodline?"
"So what if they're related by blood? Back then, Princess Yaoguang and His Royal Highness Prince Su were married at the request of Prince Su himself!"
"I heard that the princess suddenly fell seriously ill and left Jinling. So why do you think His Royal Highness Prince Su suddenly disappeared from Jinling for several months? Wasn't it because his beloved suddenly fell ill, so he left with despair?"
"I was saying it! Back then, Your Highness clearly made great contributions in suppressing the remnants of the former Crown Prince's rebellion, but in the end, there was no follow-up! It turns out it was because of this Yaoguang County Princess..."
"But aren't they an engaged couple? How did she become a princess?"
"I heard they were married a long time ago. Doesn't being engaged mean they're officially married? And a year ago, the princess gave birth to the little princess, and His Highness even held a ceremony over there to crown her queen!"
"Then the princess is the queen of Da Chu, right?"
"From a girl who grew up in the mountains to the current Queen of Great Chu, this princess really has some skills."
"Of course not. I heard that the princess was still fighting against the Western Region army at the border with a big belly. She was about to give birth, but she was still beating the war drums and directing the battle!"
"I heard that the capture of the Third Wolf King was due to the princess herself firing a series of arrows under pressure, which played a crucial role!"
"I also heard that the princess personally traveled to the Western Regions before the war. That's why Your Highness was able to devise strategies to adapt to the terrain and even the climate of the Western Regions after the invasion! This played an indispensable role in our victory in the war in the Western Regions!"
"This princess, the queen of Great Chu, truly lives up to her reputation and is a heroic woman!"
"Of course not. Don't you see whose granddaughter she is? General Pei was invincible back then, the only female general in the entire Central Plains to be granted a title! And the princess has to be taught by her personally. Isn't that different from the other members of the Li family?"
"Besides, the old general is already so old, and he personally took back our Yuncheng."
"Don't even mention Yuncheng. The flag of the Lanhai Navy is flying there now. I heard the people of Yuncheng are having a very happy time."
"Tsk~~ Isn't Prince Lan Hai our Prince Su? Now the whole world is one family, and we are all our Prince Su!"
"Look! His Highness is looking back at his wife and daughter! They are truly a loving couple, supporting each other through thick and thin. They are a model emperor and empress!"
Li Qingluo could feel and hear the people's eager gazes and even discussions even while sitting in the carriage.
She coughed lightly, somewhat unnaturally.
Even she herself did not expect that after leaving Jinling for so many years, there would be such a dramatic scene after returning.
Fangfang babbled and pointed outside the window, looking around curiously and excitedly, his eyes as bright and black as two grapes.
All the people outside the window who caught a glimpse of the little princess's adorable appearance couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
They marveled at the looks of the little princess and the princess, both mother and daughter, and also at the fact that His Royal Highness Prince Su, after shedding his murderous aura, turned out to be such a handsome man.
What’s even more amazing is that they would wave to them, the common people, in a friendly and approachable manner.
"Let it go and see."
"This is the hometown of my father and mother."
"Is it lively?"
Jinling is indeed more prosperous and bustling than Nan'an.
