After a cup of tea, the ministers dispersed, and two carriages came over.
Uncle Qi, Princess Qi, and Concubine Liu got on a carriage.
The Crown Princess, Concubine Yang, and His Majesty the State of Qi got into a carriage.
Then the two carriages headed towards the city.
The ministers followed and walked into the city.
Soon, the bustling city gate became deserted.
Yan Ning looked at Chen Dongyan and asked, "Master Chen, can you return to the palace?"
Chen Dongyan said: "If there is no order from His Majesty, we will wait first."
Yan Ning: "..."
She pointed to the carriage: "Can I wait in the carriage?"
Chen Dongyan made a gesture of invitation. Yan Ning tried her best to climb onto the carriage and got into the carriage. She was already out of breath.
Yan Ning didn't know how long she had to wait. Maybe she spent the whole night in this carriage. She closed her eyes, lay down on the couch and closed her eyes to rest.
About half an hour later, Eunuch Wang drove the carriage out. Yan Ning was awakened and heard the conversation between Eunuch Wang and Chen Dongyan outside the carriage.
The prince said: "Your Majesty asked the servant to come and pick up the people from Yancai."
Chen Dongyan said: "The people from Yancai are in the carriage."
The prince then shouted respectfully to the carriage: "Mr. Yan, Your Majesty asked your servant to pick up Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan, please get off the carriage and go with your servant to see your majesty."
Yan Ning sat down on the edge of the couch with a smile on her face. As expected, she was the chief guard in front of the palace who followed His Majesty Qi. She had a deep understanding of His Majesty Qi.
This Chen Dongyan is far more powerful than that Chen Yurong.
Yan Ning bent down and got out of the car, looked at the prince and said, "Thank you, prince."
Without even asking where to take her, she quickly got into the carriage that the prince and his father-in-law had arrived at.
The prince also admired the young master, said goodbye to Chen Dongyan, and rode to the city gate.
Chen Dongyan followed him into the city.
Yan Ning followed Wang Gonggong into a house. It was a very ordinary house, nestled among the large and small houses in Guiyang City. It was not gorgeous or grand. There were only two courtyards in total. Flowers were planted in the front yard and people lived in the backyard.
.
The prince was considerate, and after walking in, he introduced: "Ren Yan, this is the house where the Crown Princess lives. After the death of the late emperor, His Majesty ascended the throne, the Crown Princess moved out of the palace and lived here alone.
Today is Little New Year's Eve, and it is also the day of His Majesty's triumphant return. The Crown Princess is hosting a banquet in the house, not only to celebrate His Majesty's welcome and cleanse from the dust, but also to reunite the family."
Yan Ning said: "Little New Year's Eve is indeed a day for family reunions, and the Crown Princess is very thoughtful."
After speaking, he paused and said a little uneasily: "Since it's a family reunion, isn't it good for me to go there?"
The prince said tactfully: "It's His Majesty's order. I dare not say anything."
Yan Ning stopped talking.
The backyard was very lively, and a big table was set up in the side hall. Everyone was sitting there, but there were not many people there. After all, there were not many people in the world who could be called family members of the king.
His Majesty's father, queen, mother, queen, and brother were all killed on the battlefield. The remaining relatives are the uncle of the king of Qi, the princess of Qi, and the imperial concubine.
As for the two concubines, although they are his concubines, their status is extraordinary and they should be considered members of his family.
And she is not, right?
It's really inappropriate to call her here.
She doesn't like the excitement, nor does she like to join in the fun. Instead of coming here to make excuses and watch the dishes, she would rather go back to the palace to take a hot bath, have a good meal, and have a good sleep.
The prince announced outside the door: "Your Majesty, people from Yancai have arrived."
