The Jinbei Marquisate is located in a place called Taoyuan City in the heart of northern Shanxi.

A few days ago, Xie Yunxiao sent someone to deliver a message saying that he would be returning home soon.

Therefore, every day people from the Jinbei Marquisate would wait eagerly at the city gate.

Today it is Xie Lun's turn to guard the city gate.

The weather was getting colder and colder. He stood there with his hands in his sleeves and squinting his eyes. He felt too cold and walked back and forth. He did not forget to drink a bowl of hot tea in the teahouse. But while drinking the hot tea, he did not forget to stare at the city gate.

Whenever a carriage passed by, he would pay attention to see if the driver was familiar to him, but unfortunately he was always disappointed.

"Alas, it's getting dark, the prince won't be back today, right?"

Having said that, after drinking his hot tea he still ran to the city gate to wait.

Those guarding the city were all Jinbei Hou's men, so they naturally knew Xie Lun.

"Brother Lun, haven't you gone back to rest yet?"

"It's still early! My people have to come here at 10:00 p.m. You should also help keep an eye out for passing carriages. The prince will be back soon."

When Xie Lun finished speaking, tears were still welling up in his eyes. After so many years, the eldest son of the Jinbei Marquisate was actually coming back!

"Your Highness grew up in the Imperial City, right? Would he have any feelings for this place?" asked one of the guards.

"The Marquis is seriously ill, so he must come back. As for whether he has feelings for this place, won't he develop them as he lives here for a while? I've only been back for a year!" Xie Lun felt that this was not a big deal. After all, he is the Marquis's bloodline and the prince, so how could he not have feelings for it?

"Hey? Look, there's a carriage coming." Another guard said, pointing at a speeding carriage.

Xie Lun immediately trotted forward and rubbed his eyes. The driver looked so familiar. Was it Zhang Mingfeng?

It seems to be true!

"Brother Feng! Brother Feng! I'm Xiaolun!"

Although Xie Lun is a big round guy, he runs very fast. He runs so fast that he reaches the carriage in no time.

Zhang Mingfeng, also known as Butler Zhang, also saw Xie Lun and began to tighten the reins and slow down.

"Prince, Xie Lun is here to pick us up."

These people were the ones who had lived with Xie Yunxiao in the imperial city before, especially Xie Lun, who had followed him almost since he was wearing open-crotch pants, but he came back a year earlier than them.

Inside the carriage, Hua Xin was sleeping against Nangong Ziqiu, and Xie Yunxiao was also closing his eyes because he was not feeling well. When he heard Zhang Mingfeng's voice, he felt a little unhappy, but he also knew what to say.

"Butler Zhang, tell Xiaolun to keep his voice down. Nini is asleep!"

Zhang Mingfeng, who was already used to the prince's attitude towards others, said to Xie Lun, "Come up and speak in a low voice. The prince is resting."

"Oh, alright!"

Xie Lun almost spoke in a low voice and was very excited at the same time. He hadn't seen the Crown Prince for a year and didn't know how he was doing.

Zhang Mingfeng drove the carriage and saw Xie Lun glanced at the carriage almost every once in a while, so he reminded him in a low voice: "There is not only the prince in there, but also a girl and a young man. They will also live in the mansion with the prince, so you must pay attention to them."

girl?

son?

Could it be that the royal family is worried about the prince and has sent people to monitor him?

As soon as Zhang Mingfeng saw Xie Lun's eyes rolling around, he knew what he was thinking, so he said, "She didn't come with us. We met her on the way. She is from Daxia. She is an excellent doctor. She came back to help our prince recuperate."

Xie Lun also knew what Xie Yunxiao had been through, and after hearing this, he became curious about the people inside.

I don’t know if it was because riding in the carriage was too comfortable, but Hua Xin fell asleep and never woke up.

When getting off the carriage, Nangong Ziqiu carried Hua Xin directly into the Marquis' Mansion, which aroused the curiosity of everyone who came to greet Xie Yunxiao.

However, Nangong Ziqiu held Hua Xin with her head facing inward, so no one saw what she looked like.

However, the appearance of Nangong Ziqiu caused bursts of exclamations from the maids in the mansion.

"I didn't expect someone could be so beautiful."

"That's right, the prince is already very handsome, I didn't expect that young master is also so handsome."

"As expected of the prince's friends, they are all outstanding people!"

There was a lot of discussion around, but Xie Yunxiao didn't care at all. He was also amazed by Nangong Ziqiu's appearance, but as a man, why would he care about being so good-looking? Even if the other person looked better than him, he would not be jealous.

It’s a pity that I can’t introduce the situation in the mansion to Nini today.

But when he thought of his seriously ill father, he was not so calm.

"Xiao Lun, arrange the best courtyard for the two distinguished guests. Butler Zhang, accompany me to visit my father first."

"Yes, Master."

Xie Lun immediately thought of the Peach Blossom Garden in the mansion. The scenery there was beautiful and the rooms were elegant, suitable for a girl to live in.

There were a few maids waiting in the Peach Blossom Garden. They were all surprised to see Nangong Ziqiu coming in holding a girl.

"These two are the prince's distinguished guests. You must serve them well. Do you understand?"

The maids responded one after another: "I heard it clearly."

Nangong Ziqiu saw that the surrounding environment was not bad. He entered the room and found it was even better. Then he carefully put Hua Xin on the bed.

"You all go down first!"

Several maids looked at each other. Hadn't they just been told to serve with all their heart? Wouldn't it be inappropriate for them to leave like this?

One of them said boldly with a red face: "I wonder what the names of this young master and young lady are? I am Bai Zhen, and these three are Bai Zhu, Cui Guo, and Cui Ju. It will be easier to call them when I serve you in the future."

"We both have the last name Dou. My sister is exhausted from the journey, so let her sleep first. I'm thirsty, so I'd like to trouble you to bring me a pot of tea. There's nothing else to do for now, so I'll serve you when it's time to eat."

"Yes, Mr. Bean."

Bai Zhen and the others all retreated. When they were far away, Bai Zhen patted his chest and said, "I was scared to death. That Mr. Dou has a really strong aura."

"Isn't it? It's really beautiful!" Bai Zhu's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were filled with infinite joy. It was obvious that she was moved.

"This is the prince's friend, we have to be careful and behave properly." Cuiguo did not forget to look at Baizhu while speaking.

Bai Zhu seemed to have been hit on the point, and quickly responded: "Oh, I see, isn't it because I didn't expect there would be such a good-looking person besides our prince? He doesn't cover his face, so it's nice to be able to see him a few more times!"

"I told you to be careful, and you still said that." Cui Ju smiled and fell in love with Nangong Ziqiu.

Hua Xin and Nangong Ziqiu had no idea what was going on outside. She just felt that she had a deep sleep and was full of energy now. She could eat three bowls of rice in a row!

"woke up?"

Nangong Ziqiu's voice came to her ears, but she was still amazed by the exquisite carved bed in front of her.
