The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

The day of departure soon arrived.

In order to welcome Zhao Yi to Beijing, the royal family sent out a mighty guard of honor and escort troops.

The huge crowd spread from Tong Huaqiong's gate to the village entrance.

There was a guard standing every three steps.

Tong Huaqiong sighed that the security measures were so strict that not even a fly could fly in.

Early in the morning, all the villagers came to see them off.

Aunt Qin suddenly broke through the guards, stepped forward, pulled Zhao Yi's hand, stuffed two pairs of shoes and the buns she made herself, and cried, "Don't forget the people of Qinghe Bay when you get to Shengjing. If you get to a high position in the future, you must be better to us people like your father and let us have enough food."

Aunt Qin didn't care whether the former crown prince was a traitor or not. She only knew that he had given her enough food to eat when he was regent.

Everyone said that the old emperor took Zhao Yi back because his other sons were too useless and did not care about the people.

The former crown prince at that time introduced a series of policies for recuperation and restoration, which benefited countless farmers.

The people of Qinghewan can have enough food to eat thanks to the prince’s benevolent rule.

Having enough food to eat is the people's greatest and simplest wish.

The guards who were rushed were frightened and broke out in cold sweats.

Careless.

Seeing that Su Chengmin had no intention of blaming her, he felt relieved and was about to let Aunt Qin leave.

Zhao Yi glanced at the guard and the guard stopped.

When the villagers of Qinghewan heard what Aunt Qin said, their eyes turned red.

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself when you arrive in Shengjing."

"Don't forget the people of Qinghe Bay."

"In the future, you must be a wise king and ensure that the people under your rule have enough food to eat."

Like Aunt Qin, the villagers expressed their most simple wishes.

The last sentence was said by the village chief. With so many guards, he was afraid that someone would tell the emperor about it and make him think that the people were instigating His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to rebel.

The old emperor is still alive. On behalf of the people of Qinghe Bay, he hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be a wise king without any suspicion of treason.

Zhao Yi picked up a bun and bit into it. It was stuffed with dried beans and pork. Aunt Qin knew he loved it, so she made it especially for him.

Zhao Yi swallowed the bun, looked at the people around him, and said word by word: "Thank you Grandma Qin for your teachings, thank you everyone for your advice, I will keep it in mind."

Aunt Qin's tears rolled down.

Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but feel sad when she saw this scene.

After this little episode, Zhao Yi was welcomed onto the carriage.

Su Chengmin rode a tall horse to protect him.

Tong Huaqiong, Tong Pandidi, Chen Sufen, Zhao Shi, Gu Baishuang and others were arranged on the subsequent carriage.

As soon as Tong Huaqiong got on, she exclaimed that it was worthy of being a carriage arranged by the royal family. It was wide and soft, and even the backrest was ergonomically designed.

After sitting down, the team started moving.

The villagers retreated to both sides of the road to make way.

"Have a safe journey, Grandson."

"Good luck on your journey, Lady Dashu."

"Boss, please report that you are safe when you arrive in Shengjing."

"Master Su's students will definitely study hard."

The villagers and children said goodbye to each other.

Tong Huaqiong lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and waved goodbye to the people she knew.

This time, I don’t know when I will come back.

Qinghe Bay is the beginning of Tong Huaqiong's arrival in this era. After so many years, she has long regarded it as her hometown.

Suddenly leaving my hometown thousands of miles away, I naturally felt reluctant to leave.

The team moved forward slowly and soon Qinghe Bay was left behind.

Tong Huaqiong put away her sadness of parting and became extremely nervous.

The emperor has several sons, and Tong Huaqiong would never believe that he had no objection to bringing the crown prince back in such a high-profile manner.

Tong Huaqiong was afraid that the prince's uncles would ambush him on the road.

During the break, Hua Qiong quietly expressed her concern to Su Chengmin.

"No matter how stupid they are, they won't ambush on the road. If the Crown Prince is harmed on the road, none of these princes can escape suspicion. Not only will they not ambush, they will also clear obstacles and send people to Shengjing smoothly." Su Chengmin said.

Tong Huaqiong understood.

The old emperor is exercising checks and balances.

Discovering that several princes were very ambitious, they began to recall the princes from the people, just to see who would jump out.

Whoever jumps out will be out.

I'm afraid that the Crown Prince's uncles would like to hide away, while also having to guard against other princes jumping out to assassinate them and then pass the blame.

In that case, there is nothing to worry about along the way.

Tong Huaqiong completely relaxed and ate and drank in the carriage.

With the company of Chen Sufen, Tong Pandi and Zhao, as well as Maner and Yaozu, Tong Huaqiong did not feel bored at all.

Because the emperor issued an edict to the world proving the prince's innocence and informed the world to welcome the crown prince back to the capital, the commotion was so huge that officials were present to welcome him wherever he went.

Crown Prince Zhao Yi was extremely annoyed, and finally asked Su Chengmin to order that no officials should be allowed to greet him wherever he went, and only then did he calm down.

Zhao Yi felt extremely lonely and bored sitting alone in the carriage, so he ordered the carriage to stop and got into Tong Huaqiong's carriage.

Originally, Tong Huaqiong wanted to persuade the Crown Prince to go to his own carriage. She wanted some peace and quiet. However, when she thought that after entering the palace, the Crown Prince would be surrounded by servants, and that the time on the road would be his last free time before he ascended the throne, she couldn't bear it.

The Crown Prince grew up surrounded by palace intrigues and strategies, so he naturally knew what he would face when he went to Shengjing this time. Therefore, the further north he went, the more attached he became to Tong Huaqiong and Chen Sufen.

He leaned his little head on Tong Huaqiong, ate snacks with her, and read storybooks to her. To anyone who saw him, he looked like an ordinary child.

Shengjing is in the north of Ningcheng.

First by horse carriage, then by water, and after the water journey we went to land and changed to a horse carriage.

After a month's journey, we finally arrived in Shengjing.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites and important court officials had already been waiting at the city gate, and the ceremony of welcoming the Crown Prince into the city was extremely grand.

The Crown Prince calmly pulled Tong Huaqiong and Chen Sufen out of the carriage.

They entered the city together.

According to regulations, Tong Huaqiong, Chen Sufen and others were not allowed to enter the palace.

But the old emperor wanted to meet the family who adopted the crown prince, so Tong Huaqiong, Chen Sufen and others were invited into the palace.

After entering the palace and arriving at the Golden Throne Hall, I saw a yellow figure sitting there. Not daring to take a closer look, I began to perform the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows.

When Tong Huaqiong kowtowed, she kept cursing the old emperor in her heart, saying that she had kowtowed for the entirety of her two lifetimes in this life.

"Long live my emperor."

Tong Huaqiong heard that Chen Sufen, Zhao Shi and Tong Pandi's voices were trembling, and wondered if her own voices were the same.

Who wouldn’t be nervous when seeing the emperor? After all, if you make a mistake, you will lose your head.

"Yier, come here and let Grandfather take a look."

The old emperor's voice was trembling and choked with sobs.

Tong Huaqiong rested her forehead on the ground and observed everything in front of her with the corner of her eye. Zhao Yi, who had already changed into the royal dress, walked towards the old emperor.

"Grandfather."

"My dear grandson."

The two began to show royal affection.

It is unclear how much of this is true.

"How have you been these years?"

"My grandson has suffered."

Tong Huaqiong thought to herself, you damn emperor, if you want to care for your grandson, can you let these common people live in peace first?

Just don't care about their life or death, right?
