In the blink of an eye, the purse at Wei Wangqing's waist was already in Zhang Tongyang's hands.
Wei Wangqing's expression turned cold. "Give it back to me."
"Who gave it to you? Is it important to you?" Zhang Tongyang asked, feeling inexplicably annoyed.
"I'll say it again, give it back to me."
Zhang Tongyang felt uncomfortable looking at her cold expression. Was this purse really that important to her?
Or is the person who gave her the purse more important?
But seeing her expression, he was somewhat frightened and could only awkwardly hand the purse back.
Wei Wangqing said coldly, "I don't like people touching my things without my permission. Don't let it happen again."
"I see."
Zhang Tongyang felt a little wronged. It's just a purse, is it really that big of a deal?
The atmosphere became somewhat tense afterward. Zhang Tongyang stopped joking around, and Wei Wangqing remained silent, making the meal very quiet.
On the carriage.
"Don't be angry, I'm sorry, okay?" Zhang Tongyang couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer.
"I'm not angry, it's just that this is really not good."
"Okay, okay, I know. It's just a professional habit of mine."
Wei Wangqing, thinking of his identity as a master thief, was speechless. What kind of quirk was this, coming from such a respectable young master?
"Yeah, we're heading back soon too, and I doubt we'll have many more chances to meet up after that."
Zhang Tongyang felt somewhat taken aback; he had almost forgotten that she was from the Northern Dynasty.
When are you leaving?
"After attending the Southern Emperor's coronation ceremony."
"Oh." Zhang Tongyang said somewhat sullenly.
The carriage drove back to the city under the cover of night.
Wei Wangqing escorted the person back to the Prime Minister's residence before returning to the embassy.
The sun shines brightly in the sky, and purple clouds rise in the east.
Today is the coronation ceremony of the Southern Emperor and the investiture ceremony of his empress.
Nan Lin and Nan Xiangyue ascended the high platform step by step, and as music began, all the officials paid homage.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress!"
This is probably the ultimate form of power.
After that came the offerings to Heaven, the ancestral temple, the altar of the land and grain, and all the people.
After a series of tedious procedures were completed, Wei Wangqing and other envoys, representing the Great Wei, paid homage and presented gifts before the ceremony concluded.
After that, Wei Wangqing and the others had to prepare for their return to the capital.
Before leaving, Nan Xiangyue met with her.
"These are all for my mother and brother. I'm sorry to trouble you again."
"It's nothing, just something I did on the way." Wei Wangqing understood the feeling of being separated from loved ones.
"I wasn't able to properly entertain Your Highness this time because of my pregnancy." She said, touching her belly, revealing the unique radiance of motherhood.
"Of course, the child is more important. Prince An and the Princess will be very happy if they know you are pregnant."
From the moment everyone knew she was pregnant, her identity as a Southern Dynasty person was destined to be revealed, but given her current status, no one would be foolish enough to approach her.
Or rather, Nanjing Forestry University has solved all of these problems.
"Yes." Thinking of her mother and brother, she felt a little sad. She wondered if it was because of her pregnancy, but she had been unusually sentimental lately.
Wei Wangqing and Nan Xiangrong waited for a short while before Nan Lin came again to demand their return.
Nan Xiangyue had no choice but to take her leave, feeling embarrassed.
Wei Wangqing thought it was pretty good. Nan Lin had indeed treated Nan Xiangyue exceptionally well, and Nan Xiangyue was indeed living a very happy life. The Prince of An and his mother could probably rest assured now.
On the day of his return to the capital, officials from the Southern Dynasty saw him off, creating a lively scene.
Before Wei Wangqing and the others could get far, a man and a horse caught up with them.
"Who dares to block the way?" The head guard stopped the man.
This man brazenly shouted, "Brother Wei, it's me! Didn't we agree that you would receive me when I went to the Northern Dynasty? I've made up my mind, I'll go with you."
Wei Wangqing felt a headache coming on. From the moment he heard the words "Brother Wei," he knew something terrible was about to happen.
Now she deeply regrets her sharp tongue back then; she never imagined that this person was someone who didn't play by the rules at all.
She's just too naive!
"Bring him over here." What else can we do but let him shout and yell outside?
The guard who brought Zhang Tongyang over had a mischievous look on his face. This prince is too amorous. He didn't forget to bring a young master back even after coming to the Southern Dynasty.
"Brother Wei, I'm here." Zhang Tongyang grinned at her, showing off his bright white teeth.
Wei Wangqing could hardly bear to look at him and wanted to throw him out.
But he got into Wei Wangqing's carriage as naturally as if he were going back to his own room, probably because he was used to it.
The guard left with a beaming smile, as if he had witnessed a touching and tragic love story.
After Zhang Tongyang boarded the carriage, the caravan continued its journey.
But the noise inside Wei Wangqing's carriage never stopped.
“Brother Wei, I’ve made up my mind. Rather than going to the Northern Dynasty alone again, I’d rather travel with you all. That way, I’ll have company on the journey.”
Wei Wangqing said he didn't want this companion.
Since Zhang Tongyang couldn't bear to leave, he might as well go and see if everyone there was the same, whether he was only interested in the women of the Northern Dynasty, or if she was the only one who made him feel different.
Let's see if this is just a passing fancy or something we're really serious about.
"Did your father agree?" Perhaps the brat has run away from home.
“Of course,” Zhang Tongyang said proudly.
"My father said, 'Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, and a good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown.' We should go out and see more of the world."
"Oh." Wei Wangqing was relieved; it was good that the master knew.
at the same time.
The Prime Minister's Residence in Nandu.
