Chapter 397: You go sideways
After retreating from the people around him, Yuntao asked Li Qianchen next to him, "If the jade seal is gone, what serious harm will it bring to your majesty?"
Li Qianchen shook his head and whispered, "This jade seal was made by Emperor Taizu when he founded the country. If it is gone, it can be remade."
"However, I heard something before. When Emperor Taizu was conquering the country, he collected countless treasures and hid them somewhere. And the jade seal is the key to unlocking this treasure."
Treasure?
Yuntao was a little surprised after hearing this.
Could it be that King Ning took away the jade seal to prepare for a comeback?
Judging from the secret passages in the palace, she was not surprised that Emperor Taizu left a way out for his descendants.
The most puzzling thing is Prince Ning!
Yuntao feels that everything needs a motive.
Although the girl that King Ning liked before is gone, the root cause of the incident lies with that girl. Ning Feng couldn't have made such a big show, even drove Qian'er out of the palace and took away the jade seal. King Ning must have wanted something!
But what does King Ning want?
Yuntao couldn't figure it out and didn't spend too much thought here.
Now that the capital is stable, it's time for her to return to the capital.
——
The news of Yuntao's return to the capital reached the capital, like a wave of waves that merged into the sea. Although it was a bit eye-catching, there were too many waves on the sea. Except for those who were interested, most people were busy with their own lives.
The couple told Yuntao in the space that they would visit Yun's house first when they came back and get together with the elders in the family. They hadn't seen each other during the Chinese New Year, and now that they were home, they had to take a good look.
Letting the elders in the family feel at ease can also make up for the regrets of the New Year.
The road we walked along was all cement, not bumpy, and Yuntao heard that her parents were living in Shangshu Mansion these days. So she planned to go back there directly, and let the carriage carrying luggage go back to the Princess Mansion first.
In addition to the carriage he and Li Qianchen rode in, he also brought back a cart full of specialties from Jiangzhou Prefecture.
It's not Yuntao's intention.
The carriage drove slowly to the gate of the imperial city. Listening to the roar of people outside, Yuntao opened the curtain by the window and took a few glances. Her eyes fell on the huge imperial list posted at the gate of the city.
In addition to the words written on it, there is also a simple portrait of Prince Ning's face below.
The style of this painting is exactly the sketch taught by Yuntao.
Posted at the gate of this bustling city, it can be clearly seen by passers-by.
Yuntao only looked at it once and then lowered the curtain.
Li Qianchen, who was sitting aside, looked away from the paperwork and glanced at Yuntao, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing? I haven't been to the capital for a long time. Just taking a look at it makes me feel nostalgic."
Li Qianchen's injuries have healed a lot and he has been able to walk for a long time, but he still needs to drink a lot of medicine every day.
"When you rest for a few days, I will accompany you around."
"good!"
The carriage drove all the way to Yun Shangshu Mansion.
The first month has passed, the snow has melted, and the capital is still chilly.
The woman from the Yun family also came to the door to greet Yuntao.
Yuntao slowly got out of the carriage with the support of Xinlu Xinrui. Her belly was even more pregnant. Yuntao was much more careful than usual.
Seeing Yuntao getting off the carriage, the eldest lady hurried forward to help her.
"The princess has been suffering these days outside!" The eldest lady wiped the red corners of her eyes and looked at Yuntao's slightly pointed chin.
Yuntao looked around at the elders standing around. They were all much smaller than when they met a year ago. She smiled affectionately, "Thank you for your hard work! I brought some local goods back from Jiangzhou Prefecture. They are not expensive things."
.”
"Let the maid deliver it to you later. Don't think my gift is cheap!"
After hearing this, the eldest lady and Mr. Zhou laughed, and Mr. Zhou then said, "How could it be possible? The princess remembered to bring us a gift. It was too late to be happy, how could she dislike it! Even if the princess brought me a goose feather, I would still be happy.
"
A group of people entered the house in a lively manner. After eating, Yuntao took Li Qianchen to the guest room to rest.
Gifts were delivered to several ladies' rooms.
Of the two people on Zhou's side, Yuntao prepared slightly more gifts.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Song were sitting together in the main room, listening to the maids counting everything and announcing the gift list.
Yuntao said that she had prepared some local products from Jiangzhou Prefecture, but in fact there were no agricultural and sideline products.
Jiangzhou Prefecture is rich in Yunyan Brocade. As the name suggests, it is as light as clouds and as thin as smoke. It is extremely smooth when you touch it. The color is extremely rich and is often sold out of stock in the capital.
In addition, there are some twisted gold bracelets, some scattered gemstones, and specialties sent from Li'an.
Mrs. Zhou sat there and asked the maid to recite the same sentence. After finishing the recitation, she looked at Ms. Song who was sitting next to her.
"Pick out the things that the man used, divide the rest into half, and send them to the second lady's room."
Mrs. Song was both happy and scared, so she came forward and bowed respectfully to Mrs. Zhou.
"Thank you, madam!"
Mrs. Zhou picked up the tea next to her, swept it lightly with the porcelain lid, sipped the tea carefully, and sighed helplessly after listening to Mrs. Song's words: "Our princess is a good one, and she always thinks of you when giving gifts."
This gift list was obviously for several people, including her and Zhou, as well as their master.
She was too lazy to say anything because the master was like that. Besides, men and women were guarded here, so it was very difficult for the grandfather and grandson of the next generation to get close to each other.
Mrs. Song was the princess's biological grandmother, but when she saw the princess, she stood back more than anyone else.
Mrs. Zhou taught me many times and promised her well, and it was still the same when they met.
"Yes, the princess is so kind!" Mrs. Song echoed.
"Then you have to be more intimate with the princess! Don't stand so far back! I used to take you out to attend banquets, and all those noble ladies would find excuses to talk to you!"
"Remember, you have a son who is a prince, and no one dares to say anything wrong when you go out and walk sideways! Keep your back straight, and be affectionate with the princess when you see him!"
Mrs. Zhou educates me with sincerity and sincerity!
After hearing this, Mrs. Song gradually lowered her head, holding a handkerchief and clasping her hands together, like a child admitting a mistake to her teacher. "Madam, I know."
“Now that I know it, I’ll do it next time!”
——
In the evening, Wan Hongmei and his wife returned to Yun's house and had a reunion dinner with Yun Huiyan and others.
After living there for a day, Yuntao moved back to her princess mansion, ready to slowly pick up some things to do.
Suddenly I received a message from Changsun Man, saying that he wanted to make an appointment with her.
Yuntao asked the people below to reply. She had just returned home and had to tidy up. After finishing the tidying up in a few days, she would meet with Sun Man.
The people at the Princess Mansion were ordered to respectfully leave the house. But half a day later they came back with a lot of gifts.
It was said that Changsun Man didn't know that Yuntao was pregnant, so he didn't prepare any gifts for her, so he had someone prepare some temporarily, hoping that Yuntao wouldn't be offended.
The gifts were some rare medicinal materials and gold, silver and jade articles, and Yuntao accepted them, which made Changsun Man feel relieved.
Chapter completed!
