The curfew in the capital ends at three quarters of the year.
At this time, it is also the time for the city gate to open.
When Emperor Xin was in Chenshi, he had already appeared at the North City Gate.
Although he did not act in a high profile, he did not deliberately conceal his identity.
Around the sedan bearing the emblem of Prince Yu's Palace, several palace guards stood by quietly.
And half an hour later, the sedan chair of Prince Qi's Mansion also appeared at the North City Gate.
It stopped next to Di Xin's sedan chair.
"His Royal Highness is well!"
Seeing Zhao Xiangqi winking, Di Xin stretched out his hand and gave him a slap, and said with a smile: "Okay, you'd better call me Fifth Brother, which is fine with me."
"Okay, fifth brother!"
Zhao Xiangqi followed the good deeds and followed the flow,
Only then did Di Xin ask about the business: "Why are you here too?"
After they left Beijing that time, Zhao Xiangqi, who stayed in the capital, changed from going to Prince Yu's Mansion every day to practicing in Prince Qi's Mansion.
This was the case until Di Xin returned to Beijing this time.
Until a few days ago, he encountered a bottleneck in his practice, so he returned to going to Prince Yu's Mansion on time every day to practice and accept the guidance of Zeng Hongshen.
Of course, Zhao Xiangqi's figure has returned to normal now. Although he is still a little fat, Zeng Hongshen will not train him like he did a year and a half ago.
Now Zeng Hongshen's training and guidance to Zhao Xiangqi is similar to that of the guards in the house.
This even made Zhao Xiangqi almost think that his teacher had been replaced.
It wasn't until he was beaten up by Zeng Hongshen that he got rid of this boring speculation.
Of course, there is another way of saying this in Di Xin.
Stockholm syndrome.
But no matter what, Zhao Xiangqi should be practicing in Prince Yu’s Mansion now!
"After I arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion, Mr. Zeng told me that Fifth Brother, you were going out after the curfew, and then I took leave and came out."
Zhao Xiangqi said as if he was taking credit: "I'll come with you to pick up my sister-in-law."
Hearing this, Emperor Xin nodded slightly: "I guess you have a heart."
To be fair, Zhao Xiangqi and Wang Ruoqing are not actually familiar with each other.
But this is normal.
Even when she was in the capital, Wang Ruoqing rarely left the backyard. Even if she went out occasionally, she would meet several sisters from the past.
After all, Zhao Xiangqi was a man, so he would not be in Di Xin's backyard and cause controversy.
There will be no need to wait until Di Xin takes everyone in Prince Yu's Mansion to Northern Xinjiang.
Therefore, the total number of times Zhao Xiangqi and Wang Ruoqing met may not exceed ten times, and apart from saying hello each time, the two of them basically said nothing.
And Zhao Xiangqi came here today not to please Di Xin.
With the current relationship between the two people, there is no need to do this kind of deliberate behavior.
He just guessed a little bit of Di Xin's thoughts.
No matter what the reason was at the beginning, in the eyes of all the officials and even everyone in the capital, Di Xin and Wang Ruoqing's behavior of leaving the capital was a bit hasty.
A prince who suddenly no longer kept a low profile had just shown his ambition for the throne, and then was sent to Northern Xinjiang by the emperor's order, directly leaving the capital, the center of power.
In the eyes of thoughtful people at the time, this was because the old emperor did not want Prince Yu to inherit the throne, so he sent him away.
As for the identity of General Zhenguan and some of the powers he was given, they were all compensation given by the old emperor to Prince Yu, his son.
Although what happened later changed many people's views little by little - the old emperor's implicit support for Prince Yu seemed to be just to let him out for training, rather than giving up on his son.
But this does not completely eliminate the impact of their initial departure from Beijing.
As the royal concubine of Prince Yu, Wang Ruoqing was actually under a certain amount of pressure, but she never showed her thoughtfulness in front of Di Xin.
That time her family left Beijing, Wang Ruoqing felt wronged.
This is why Di Xin revealed his identity and came to pick her up personally today.
Otherwise, even if Wang Ruoqing is Emperor Xin's concubine, according to the concept of this dynasty, there is no need to go out to greet her.
The fact that Emperor Xin could wait for Wang Ruoqing's return at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion was considered by the people in the capital as a favor to Prince Yu's wife.
Zhao Xiangqi's mother was a businesswoman, and her two uncles were well-known wealthy businessmen in the capital.
Although he is not a businessman, his mind is very clear under the influence of his ears and eyes.
From the time Zeng Hongshen said that Emperor Xin went to the city gate to pick up Wang Ruoqing, he knew that his fifth brother was deliberately doing it for the whole capital to see.
The purpose is to seek justice for Wang Ruoqing, who has been wronged.
Didn't they say that she didn't choose a husband well, so she was reduced to a barren land?
Now Di Xin wants to let them know that it is not Wang Ruoqing who has a bad opinion, but them.
If he wasn't worried that someone would take advantage of her if he was too showy, he would even come to pick her up in a big way.
However, this kind of image that has been eagerly anticipated early may have a better effect.
And Zhao Xiangqi came here to support Di Xin.
No matter how favored he is, he is still the biological son of the current Holy Emperor.
The majestic King of Qi.
A Crown Prince who is about to take office, and a current prince.
The two of them braved the cold morning wind and came to the city gate to wait for Wang Ruoqing to return to the capital, which was enough to silence those who had planned Wang Ruoqing in the past.
However, it is obvious that they are not the only ones waiting for Wang Ruoqing here today.
An hour later, another sedan stopped next to Di Xin and Zhao Xiangqi.
Then Wang Pengxing walked out of the sedan.
He is Wang Ruoqing's biological father, so he naturally knows when she will return to the capital, so he hurried over after today's court meeting.
But Di Xin didn't expect to come either.
"Your Highness, please don't look at me like this."
In response to Di Xin's doubts, Wang Pengxing said with an unnatural expression: "My wife misses her daughter. After learning that she returned to Beijing today, she specially asked the old minister to ask if she could go back to visit her as soon as possible."
The father's feelings towards his daughter are always vague and difficult to express.
Di Xin also exposed Wang Pengxing's clumsy lies and said with a smile: "My son-in-law will definitely take Ruoqing back home to visit the two elders as soon as possible."
"Don't be in a hurry, don't delay His Highness's business."
Wang Pengxing waved his hands repeatedly, but hesitated and said: "If His Highness is too busy, there is no need to come in person. It would be the same for the little girl to come back by herself."
Di Xin shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Okay, I will follow what my father-in-law said."
When he returned to his parents' home for the first time after returning to Beijing, Di Xin certainly couldn't let Wang Ruoqing go back alone, but now that Wang Pengxing was awkwardly unwilling to express his feelings, he simply accompanied him and pretended to be stupid.
Soon, several people also stopped chatting.
A group of guards wearing Northern Xinjiang military armor escorted two carriages and appeared in their sight.
Di Xin immediately stepped out to greet him.
Behind him, Zhao Xiangqi and Wang Pengxing quickly followed.
