Royal Palace.

Kunning Palace.

After paying their respects to Zhu Yuanzhang, Hu Fei and Princess Anqing left the Yangxin Hall and continued to their next destination to meet Queen Ma.

"To report to the Queen, Her Royal Highness Princess Anqing and her consort have arrived!"

Feng Shao quickly walked into the hall and said respectfully.

"Let them in quickly."

Queen Ma, who had gotten up early in the morning to wait, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly urged.

Feng Shao agreed and hurriedly retreated.

Soon, Hu Fei accompanied Princess Anqing into the main hall.

"My son, please see your mother!"

After walking closer, the two of them bowed respectfully and said in unison.

"Get down quickly."

Queen Ma raised her hand and said with a smile.

"Come quickly to your mother."

As the two stood up, Queen Ma hurriedly waved to her daughter and said.

Princess Anqing nodded and slowly came to the front of her mother.

"How's it going? Are you still used to it?"

Queen Ma looked at her daughter and asked with concern. This was the first time she had been separated from her daughter for so long.

"After returning to my mother, I have gradually gotten used to it, but I often think of my mother. I wish my daughter could still be by her side."

Princess Anqing nodded and said sadly.

"Silly boy, now that you are married, how can you be the same as before?"

"But fortunately you are in Kyoto and have not traveled far away. If you miss your mother at any time, you can come back at any time."

Queen Ma smiled bitterly and said slowly.

It can be seen that she misses her daughter very much.

"Don't worry, mother, my son will come back to see you often in the future, as long as you don't find your daughter annoying."

Princess Anqing nodded and said.

"Silly boy, the queen mother is eager for you to come to the palace to pay her respects. How can she find it annoying?"

Queen Ma shook her head and said with a smile.

After hearing her mother's answer, Princess Anqing smiled knowingly, and her longing for her mother finally eased.

"What's wrong with you? You usually talk a lot. Why don't you say a word today?"

Then, Queen Ma turned to look at Hu Fei and asked slowly.

"After returning to his mother, I saw my mother and Chang Shu expressing their love for each other. It was very touching and I couldn't bear to disturb them."

Hu Fei bowed his hands and said respectfully.

"You are quite sensible."

"How's it going? Did you bully Shu'er?"

Queen Ma nodded approvingly, then changed the subject and asked.

"How dare you, my son?"

"I'm lucky enough to be Chang Shu's consort. I should love her dearly. How could I bully her?"

Hu Fei shook his head and said hurriedly.

"Well, I believe you. I heard that before Xue Ru, the imperial master of the Imperial Academy, was sent to the frontier, you chopped off one of his arms because Chang Shu knelt in front of the Yangxin Hall for half a day. Is this true?"

Queen Ma nodded and asked slowly.

"yes."

"As long as I am here, no one will let Chang Shu suffer any injustice."

Hu Fei cupped his hands and said seriously.

"Okay, I really did not misjudge you. I can rest assured that I will hand over Chang Shu to you."

After hearing Hu Fei's answer, Queen Ma said with approval.

Princess Anqing on the side listened to the conversation between the queen mother and Hu Fei, and then she realized that Hu Fei had actually cut off one of Xue Ru's arms for herself, but Hu Fei had never told her about this.

At this time, hearing her mother mention it, Princess Anqing could not help but feel a warm current in her heart and was very moved.

After the two stayed in Kunning Palace for two hours, they left and decided to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, during these two hours, Empress Ma and Princess Anqing, mother and daughter, were actually chatting. They had not seen each other for a few days, and they seemed to have accumulated a lot of things to say. In fact, they might not have had so much to say in the past.

.

Hu Fei, on the other hand, regarded himself as an outsider and stood aside silently without disturbing him.

...

On the road.

In the carriage.

"Why have I never heard of you mentioning Xue Ru's matter?"

Princess Anqing looked at Hu Fei and asked softly.

"It's not a big deal, so what does it matter whether you mention it or not?"

Hu Fei smiled and said nonchalantly.

"But since you are doing it for me, you should tell me and let me know. Otherwise, how would I know that you care about me so much?"

Princess Anqing shook her head and said slowly, her eyes full of love.

"It's inevitable and reasonable to care about you. If I talk about it in everything I do for you, then this relationship would be too hypocritical."

"I am willing to be good to you. Whether you know it or not, if you have the intention, you will naturally feel it."

Hu Fei shook his head and said with a smile.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Princess Anqing couldn't help but feel a little moved, and her heart felt warm. She couldn't help but move to Hu Fei's side and snuggled into Hu Fei's arms, all without saying a word.

Outside the carriage, Chundie, who was sitting with Pei Jie and Xiao Wu, felt uncomfortable listening to the conversation coming from the carriage. At the same time, he was also glad that he hid outside. Otherwise, looking at the two people inside who were getting tired, he would have been sitting there long ago.

Can't stand it any longer.

However, at this moment, three people were sitting on the carriage shaft, which seemed a bit crowded. Even Xiao Wu, who was driving the carriage, felt that it was not so convenient.

After a long time, the carriage finally arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"The young master is back!"

Before the carriage could stop, Qin Hai, who had been waiting in front of the mansion all morning, shouted at the top of his lungs, and then quickly came to the carriage with a smile on his face.

Hearing Qin Hai's shout, Hu Fei couldn't help shaking his head, holding Princess Anqing's hand and walking out of the carriage.

"I've met the young master!"

"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Qin Hai hurriedly bowed respectfully to Hu Fei and Princess Anqing.

Hu Fei smiled and nodded, got off the carriage with Princess Anqing, and walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion hand in hand.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Hu Fei saw Hu Weiyong, who had been waiting at the door of the main hall for a long time, wandering around.

"I have met Her Highness the Princess."

As the two came closer, Hu Weiyong was the first to cup his hands and say hello to Princess Anqing with a smile.

"Greetings to my father."

Princess Anqing bowed respectfully and said softly.

Hearing Princess Anqing's words, Hu Fei and Hu Weiyong couldn't help being stunned at the same time.

In fact, Princess Anqing did not need to call Hu Weiyong her father. After all, she was a princess. Even though Hu Fei was now the consort, due to the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, she could actually just call Hu Weiyong "Hu Xiang".

But because of Hu Fei's relationship, she finally chose to call him the same as Hu Fei called Hu Weiyong, although Hu Fei didn't call him that a few times.

"Your Highness, you have betrayed a humble minister."

Hu Weiyong hesitated for a moment, then raised his hands and said.

"Since Brother Fei and I are married, we are a family. You are Brother Fei's father, so naturally you are also Chang Shu's father. Chang Shu will not suffer any loss if I call you father."

"In addition, in future informal occasions, you no longer need to call me Her Royal Highness the Princess. You can call me Changshu instead. This will appear cordial."
