Time Travel: Unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty

Chang'an City is said to have a population of one million, which shows how magnificent and prosperous it was!

But Ye Haoran had no intention of staying for long! He ordered the Xuanjia Army to set up camp outside the city. Fang Qing and Shitou wanted to go into the city to see the world, while he took Cheng Tieniu, Yuchi Baolin, and Luo Chen straight to the Qin Mansion!

When I arrived at the Qin Mansion, I found it a little old. Back then, Qin Qiong was famous in the Central Plains! But now, it is so sad that people have left and the tea is cold!

After knocking on the door, an old butler over 70 years old walked out!

"Who are you?" The old butler looked at Ye Haoran and the others with puzzled eyes!

"Butler Song, don't you recognize us?" Cheng Tieniu spoke behind Ye Haoran!

Steward Song looked at Cheng Tieniu carefully:

"You are Master Cheng, Tie Niu! Master Yuchi! Master Luo!" Butler Song showed a hint of joy on his face!

"Yes! It's us. This is my eldest brother Ye Haoran. We are all Huaiyu's brothers! We came here specially to visit Madam Qin today!"

"Okay, okay! Come in quickly!" Butler Song led them into the living room!

"Madam, there are guests coming!" Butler Song shouted as he walked!

An old lady with kind eyes and dressed in plain clothes walked out from the backyard, followed by a little maid!

"Madam Qin, please don't blame me, the young Ye Haoran, for coming to visit you without authorization!" Ye Haoran clasped his hands together and bowed deeply!

Tie Niu and his men even knelt on the ground! With tears in their eyes! Their families were all old friends and they often visited each other when they were young!

"General, please stand up quickly. I am not worthy of such a great honor!" Mrs. Qin said as she stretched out her hand to help Ye Haoran up!

"Tie Niu, good kids, you guys should get up too!"

Everyone stood up and sat down! The maid brought tea!

"I have heard about your story. Huaiyu sacrificed his life for the country and died a worthy death! I, as his mother, am proud of him!" Although Mrs. Qin said this, the tears in her eyes could not stop flowing out!

"Madam Qin, we will be your children from now on! If you are willing, you can go to Lingzhou with us and let us serve you!" Ye Haoran said sincerely!

"I appreciate General Ye's kindness, but this Qin Mansion is the home of my late husband and Huaiyu. How can I bear to abandon it?"

Madam Qin looked calm, wiped away the tears on her face, and continued: "You guys are all good children. Huaiyu is lucky to have brothers like you! If you don't mind, just eat some simple meals in this mansion!"

"Obedience is worse than respect!" Ye Haoran agreed!

Cheng Tieniu, Yuchi Baolin, and Luo Chen sat next to Mrs. Qin and chatted about their childhood memories! Ye Haoran also listened with great interest!

The meal will be ready in no time!

Although they were mostly vegetarian dishes, Ye Haoran and his friends still ate them voraciously!

Mrs. Qin looked at them with a smile!

After dinner, Mrs. Qin took them around the Qin Mansion!

"I don't have any other hobbies. I usually just chant sutras and pray for peace of mind in this temple!" Mrs. Qin said softly when she came to the temple! Kneel down in front of the Buddha statue!

Tie Niu and a few others also knelt down and paid homage!

Ye Haoran just bent down and bowed to show his respect!

Coming out of the Buddhist temple, Madam Qin was obviously a little tired! Ye Haoran and the others also said goodbye to Madam Qin!

"Madam Qin, if you have any difficulties, you can send someone to Lingzhou to deliver a letter! We will also come to Chang'an to see you often!" Ye Haoran instructed!

"Good boy! I will. The gold that His Majesty has rewarded me with has no use for even one woman. You can use it to buy houses and fields and marry wives!" As he said this, he asked the servants to carry out two heavy wooden boxes!

"Absolutely not!" Ye Haoran quickly refused!

This is what Qin Huaiyu exchanged his life for, how can they take it!

Seeing that Ye Haoran and the others were determined, Mrs. Qin no longer insisted and said goodbye to them reluctantly!

After leaving the Qin Mansion, I felt better! At least Mrs. Qin was in good health and mental state!

Because the New Year is approaching, Chang'an City is decorated with lights and is very lively!

Only then did I remember that I had forgotten to buy New Year’s goods for Mrs. Qin. Young people are brainless, I’m talking about them!

So several people acted separately, prepared various New Year goods, hired a carriage, and took it to Qin's house!

Without disturbing Mrs. Qin who was already resting, they dropped off the New Year's goods and left Chang'an City directly!

Just as they reached the city gate, a group of cavalrymen galloped past! The leader had an arrogant look on his face, wearing golden armor and a purple-gold helmet!

Whoosh! The leader turned his horse around and came back! He rode towards them!

"Do you know each other?" Ye Haoran asked Tie Niu and the others softly!

"It seems to be the third prince, Prince Wu Li Ke," Cheng Tieniu said in a low voice!

"You must be Ye Haoran! I heard that the emperor and the prince both admire you very much!" Li Ke said arrogantly!

"Your Highness, what you heard is correct. It is indeed true!" Ye Haoran replied unhappily!

"You're crazy!"

"Each each other!"

"Humph! You are just a dog of my Li family, how dare you be so rude!"

"As a prince, he doesn't even know basic etiquette! How disappointing!"

"How dare you! Come, take him down!" Li Ke was furious! He was about to take action!

"My royal brother still likes to bully people! It seems that the punishment father gave you last time was too light!"

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl stood out from the crowd, dressed in a brocade dress, with bright eyes and white teeth, and extraordinary beauty! A playful smile on her face! A few followers followed behind her!

"Changle, it's none of your business! Don't interfere!" Li Ke was obviously a little afraid of the princess!

"I didn't interfere. I just reported my brother's actions to father truthfully!" Princess Changle looked indifferent!

"Hmph! You're lucky today!" Li Ke left a cruel remark and rode away!

Princess Changle walked to Ye Haoran with a smile:

"Are you Ye Haoran, who led the Black Armor Army to launch a surprise attack on the capital of Goguryeo? You are really brave!"

Ye Haoran clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Princess, for helping me out just now!"

"Oh my! Can you please stop bowing and clasping your fists all the time? I hate these red tapes the most!" Princess Changle pouted, her face full of helplessness!

Uh! This princess is quite unique, not only is she beautiful, but she is also very cute!

"Princess, I don't like these red tapes either, but I have no choice in the officialdom! Since Princess doesn't like it, we can be more casual in private like friends!!"

"That's right! Ye Haoran, are you going back to Lingzhou? Why don't you spend the New Year in Chang'an! Let me tell you, Chang'an is very lively on New Year's Eve! There are palace ceremonies, dragon and lion dances, and literati and poets writing with brush!" Princess Changle introduced with a beaming smile!

"Haha, Princess, I appreciate your kindness, but the setting sun in Chang'an is rounder, and the moon in my hometown is sweeter! I think the true meaning of the festival is to gather with family and friends!"

"You're right, I also like to be with my father and mother during festivals!" Princess Changle's face was full of hope!

The imperial family is the most ruthless. Such a simple wish is a luxury in the huge inner courtyard of the imperial palace!

"Ye Haoran, next time you come to Chang'an, remember to look for me. I'll treat you to delicious food! And many of my sisters admire you very much! They all secretly hang your portrait in their boudoirs!"

"Then is Her Royal Highness the Princess hanging?" Ye Haoran asked jokingly!

Unexpectedly, Princess Changle's face turned red in an instant!

"Your Highness, I'll take my leave now! See you later!" Ye Haoran said hurriedly!

If Li Shimin knew that I had molested his daughter, he would skin me alive! Ye Haoran thought to himself!

Looking at Ye Haoran's hurriedly departing back, Princess Changle smiled slightly: What an interesting person!
