As for Qinghe, there was an endless stream of people coming to toast her. Some were flattering, some came to sincerely wish her well, and some had ulterior motives and came to flatter her but actually wanted to get close to King Chen.

But before he could get close, he was scared away by Baili Ye's cold eyes.

Crown Princess Bai Shuyu hasn't seen Qinghe for a long time. Now that she sees her status has changed drastically, she feels even happier for her.

She pulled her son Baili Haoxuan over, and the child immediately threw himself into Qinghe's arms and said affectionately:

"Aunt, Haoxuan misses you so much. Are you going to leave the capital now that you are here?"

Qing He touched the child's chubby face, took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from his pocket, put them in his hand, and said:

"Aunt misses you too. Look what I brought you."

Baili Haoxuan saw this kind of thing for the first time, picked up a piece and asked:

"Aunt, what is this? Is it food? Is it as delicious as the food you gave me last time?"

As soon as she asked this question, the Crown Princess laughed.

"Qinghe, ever since you left food for him last time, this kid has been talking about wanting to find his aunt. Actually, he just wants to eat delicious food!"

Qing He touched Baili Haoxuan's head and said, "It turns out that Haoxuan likes to eat the things I left behind! Auntie brought a lot this time, I'll give it to you tomorrow!"

Baili Haoxuan was delighted to hear that he could eat red strawberries, tomatoes and green cucumbers again.

He jumped up with joy and shouted excitedly: "Ohhhh, I can finally eat delicious food again."

Bai Shuyu looked at his greedy son, smiled and shook his head, and said to Qinghe:

"Qinghe, we've been waiting for you to come. How long will you stay in the capital this time? Will you go again?"

Qing He looked at her and said:

“Sister-in-law, there is nothing to do on the farm recently, so I will stay for a while this time and may go back once in the middle.

We will go back after cousin Minglang gets married."

Bai Shuyu looked at Qinghe and said enviously:

"I really envy you for being able to come and go as you please. No, I have to leave the palace tomorrow too.

Qinghe, how about you accompany me to visit the capital tomorrow?"

Qing He's eyes lit up and he said, "Sure. I just want to see what the capital city is like and what rare things there are."

"Then let's meet at the Princess' Mansion at noon after breakfast tomorrow?" Bai Shuyu suggested.

"Okay, see you there or see you."

The welcoming banquet ended with praise, flattery and chit-chat.

Baili Chuyuan wanted to keep the Emperor of Daxia overnight in the palace, but was politely declined.

The mighty general reported:

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen my daughter for many years. Today I have found my grandson. I want to hold a family reunion banquet the day after tomorrow to let the whole city know about the great event in the mighty general's mansion. Please allow my daughter to accompany me back to the mansion to chat."

Baili Chuyuan understood the general's feelings after not seeing his daughter for many years, and said with a smile: "This is a happy event, how can I object? I approve it."

The mighty general bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Baili Chuyuan then looked at General Qin and asked:

"Old General, are you going to hold a family recognition banquet here as well? And what's going on with Minglang?"

General Qin briefly reported the situation and said, "I plan to hold a family recognition banquet the day after General Weiwu's family recognition banquet. We will hold a wedding ceremony for Minglang on June 18th."

The emperor was very happy to hear this: "Very good, both the General's Mansion and the Mighty General's Mansion have successfully recognized each other. The Queen and I will definitely go and ask for a drink when the time comes."

General Weiwu and General Qin knelt down to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty. We are waiting for your arrival."

Baili Chuyuan looked at Shangguan Jing and Qin and said:

"I have heard about the affairs of the Shangguan brothers and their spouses a long time ago. Now that bad times have passed, good times will come. It will be a good life from now on.

After coming to Beijing, if you have any requests, come to me or Ye'er. He is your son-in-law, so don't be polite.

Some time ago, I heard the news that you had returned to the capital, so I sent people to clean up Princess Jiahe's mansion. The servants in the mansion are currently sent by the Queen. When you settle down, you can let them stay or buy your own servants."

Shangguan Jing and Qin hurriedly knelt down to express their gratitude: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness. We are grateful."

After the welcoming banquet, everyone dispersed.

Shangguan Chengwei and Shang Yajun followed the mighty general back to the Shang Mansion.

General Qin and his family returned to the general's mansion.

Because Qin Minglang and Cui Linglong have not yet married, Cui Linglong lives with Qinghe in the Princess's Mansion. Shangguan Jing, Qin, Qingyue and Qingli

Let’s go to the Princess’ Mansion together.

Baili Ye was kept in the palace by Shangguan Chuyuan.

Shangguan Jing and his party returned to the princess's mansion, and a group of maids and servants knelt down to welcome them back.

As he was a servant trained by the Queen, he was very disciplined and methodical in his conduct, and Qinghe was very satisfied with him.

After several people had their accommodations divided, they went back to rest.

The next morning, Qinghe and Bai Shuyu had agreed to visit the capital together, and Qinghe was full of anticipation.

Originally, he wanted to bring Cui Linglong along, but Cui Linglong said that Qin Minglang asked her to go to the capital to buy some wedding items, so Qinghe didn't force it.

She got herself ready early and waited at the door for the Crown Princess to arrive.

The two of them came to the streets of the capital city early in the morning in high spirits. They saw shops lining both sides of the street with signs fluttering in the wind, and it was very bustling.

The two of them looked at the bustling street market and the dazzling array of goods, and felt very happy.

They first walked into a jewelry store, and Bai Shuyu was attracted by an exquisite pearl necklace.

She picked up the necklace and put it on her neck, then said to Qinghe:

"Qinghe, look at how beautiful this necklace is. It will look great when you wear it."

Qinghe smiled and nodded:

"It's really beautiful. You will look like a fairy when you wear it."

Bai Shuyu bought it happily.

Then they came to a snack stall, and all kinds of aromas filled the air.

Qinghe bought two strings of candied haws, one for each person. Qinghe couldn't help but take a bite. The sour and sweet taste made her intoxicated.

Bai Shuyu bought an extra portion of sugar-roasted chestnuts and ate them with gusto.

Along the way, they walked and looked, admiring the prosperous scenery of the capital.

When passing by a silk shop, Bai Shuyu was attracted by a piece of bright silk. She stroked the silk and exclaimed:

"The color of this silk is so beautiful. It would be very beautiful if it could be made into clothes."

Qinghe looked at the silk and felt that its quality was far inferior to modern silk. If she opened a garment shop in the capital, she would probably be able to make a lot of money.

It seems that I can't sit idle after coming to Beijing, I have to plan well.

The two of them walked around, bought things and ate at the same time, and saw many interesting things, including small and exquisite handicrafts and clever toys with peculiar shapes.

Qinghe and Bai Shuyu also did not forget to bring some back for their children.

Tired of walking around, the two found a teahouse on a street corner and went in to sit down.
