On the official road outside Puzhou City, a large group of people marched forward.
Huan Ci sat in the swaying carriage and looked at the endless fields in the distance.
A few days ago, the good news of Yunzhou's recovery reached the capital, and Zong Zhengyuan showed a rare smile. The officials negotiating with the Hu people had already set off for the border, and this protracted war had finally come to an end for the time being.
Zong Zhengyuan was overjoyed and rewarded his father with a pile of gold and silver treasures, and also rewarded other people who participated in the war for their merits. Originally, he wanted to tour the area in person, but under the strong dissuasion of the ministers, he was unable to achieve this.
He didn't plan to do it, but let Zong Zhengche take the job instead.
Her father had just won a battle and had a high reputation among the people. The Queen Mother thought that Huan Ci was idle every day in the capital, and she did not know that Huan Ci had sworn to never leave the capital, so she ordered her to follow Zong Zhengche out for a while.
, I went back to see my father by the way.
Zong Zhengyuan did not stop the incident. He just summoned her to the palace and said some nice words to her. He also rewarded her with some money to use as entertainment expenses.
Because of this war, a lot of his father's savings had been lost, but Zong Zhengyuan spent a lot of money. His pointless flattery only made Huan Ci hate him even more.
However, at this time, all these worries were forgotten by Huan Ci. She and Zong Zhengche had left Beijing for ten days, and now they slowly arrived in Puzhou City.
Puzhou City is the administrative seat of Puzhou, and the Governor's Mansion is built in this city. Zong Zhengche is the Governor of Puzhou, and when he comes here, he must temporarily stay in the Governor's Mansion.
Huan Ci felt flustered when she thought that the current governor of Pu was that person. Before cleaning up her clothes last night, she saw the earring that he had sent back again. She originally thought that the two of them might be incompatible with each other in the future, but who would have thought
We will meet again so soon.
"Princess, the Crown Prince said he would be here immediately. Please pack your belongings." The boy who delivered the message suddenly shouted at the top of his voice from outside the curtain.
"I understand." Huan Ci replied softly.
She took two deep breaths, and her tense expression turned into a smile.
Soon, the team stopped where they were, and Huan Ci jumped out of the carriage with A Yao's help.
A stone's throw away was the man she was afraid to see, but wanted to see. He had taken off his heavy winter coat and put on a smart robe. Dressed in moon-white clothes, he stood out among the crowd.
Also very conspicuous.
The man seemed to have noticed her, and glanced here intentionally or unintentionally.
The group of them went to where Zong Zhengche was standing, and Huan Ci took A Yao to greet them.
Everyone was greeting the prince, and when they saw Huan Ci, they all turned to look at her.
Zong Zhengche chuckled lightly: "This is Princess Ding'an, the daughter of King Dingyuan. You all have met her today."
After hearing this, the first few people actually turned their eyes to Fu Shen, and even their eyes wandered to the two of them.
Huan Ci's already fake smile seemed even stiffer.
I really didn't expect that even the people here had heard the rumors. It seemed that they were not completely ignorant of the reason why Fu Shen came here.
"The princess is worthy of being the daughter of King Dingyuan. She is truly extraordinary and outstanding in appearance."
Someone in the crowd shouted something, which eased the awkward atmosphere.
Zong Zhengche shook his head with a smile and said: "We have been traveling for two days and now we are all hungry and have no strength. Let us have a rest."
The officials had no idea he was joking, but they still hurriedly moved out of the way and asked him to go ahead.
Regardless of Princess Ding'an's reputation, she is now a candidate for the future Crown Princess. His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care about this, so who should they worry about?
Although Zong Zhengche was joking, Huan Ci was indeed tired long ago, and it was inconvenient for everyone to talk to her, so Zong Zhengche was too busy to leave his feet.
As she expected, they were indeed placed in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Zong Zhengche only planned to stay here for three or four days before setting off for Jinzhou, so everything was kept simple.
After all, the two of them were not married yet, so Zong Zhengche paid more attention to his sense of propriety along the way than when he was in Yingdu. Huan Ci rarely even saw his face for ten days.
She was timid about returning home, and she should be able to reach Bingzhou in ten days. Thinking that she would see her father soon, Huan Ci felt much better. It was a pity that although she left Beijing, Ayao was left behind by Zong Zhengyuan.
Got off. I couldn't bring her out this time. Huan Ci was very bored along the way and talked less than usual.
After taking a nap, a little girl came to the door with a message, asking her to go hunting.
Huan Ci liked this very much, and the current season was perfect for hunting.
After changing into a heroic blue riding outfit, she went out happily. The carriage and horses had been arranged, and everyone arrived at the hunting ground soon.
After opening the car curtain, she saw Zong Zhengche in the courtyard. The man was wearing a soap-colored riding suit, and he looked more handsome than usual.
Huan Ci stared at him thoughtfully. The man seemed to feel something. He turned back to look at her and then came over.
"I think you have nothing to do, so why not go out for a walk. Hunting is too dangerous, so just stay here. I'm going to the mountains first and will be back before dark." Zong Zhengche rode on the horse.
whispered from behind.
"You go ahead, I have my own arrangements." Huan Ci grinned.
Are you kidding me if you won't let her go hunting? Send Zongzheng Che out of the way first. When she wants to go, no one else will be able to stop her.
Zong Zhengche glanced at her with a strange expression, but without thinking much, he led the others on horseback and set off first.
The warm spring breeze, the bright warm sun, everything was so pleasant. Huan Ci jumped out of the carriage with a slight jump, looking around to find her horse.
Just before arriving, she went to the stables to find her treasure Zhui Feng and asked a guard to ride over.
The guard was also looking for her, and when he spotted her, he rushed over quickly.
"Princess, this is really a good horse." The man laughed with his lips stretched out and stroked the horse beside him reluctantly.
"You are quite discerning." Huan Ci threw him a silver coin and jumped on his horse happily.
This horse was a gift from her father when she was born. It was still a newborn foal at the time, and it is now more than six years old.
It had been a long time since he had ridden a horse, and Huan Ci missed this feeling very much. Zhui Feng must have felt the same way, so he carried her on his back and began to have a wild carnival.
"Princess Princess——"
Behind her, several people shouted at the top of their lungs. Huan Ci turned around and smiled at them, riding a horse and flying past them. Those people looked at each other confused, and after a long time they realized that Huan Ci had more originals in his hands.
The bows and arrows here.
"The princess is quite handsome." A servant muttered.
"What does it have to do with you? The toad wants to eat swan meat." Another person teased.
"When do I want to eat it?" The man raised his fist and was about to hit her, but was frightened by the person who appeared silently in front of him and retracted his hands and feet.
"Sir." His face turned red and he looked at Fu Shen nervously.
"Where did she go?" Although Fu Shen was talking to her, his eyes were looking at the place where the princess disappeared.
"Over there." The attendant pointed in the direction where Fu Shen was looking.
The Lord obviously knows, why do you still ask him?
