Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

After a few days of flying and resting, five days later, at the beginning of the afternoon (15-16 pm), we saw a huge city in the distance ahead.

Luo Chen introduced Bi Yue, "Yue'er, the one in front is the capital. It covers a vast area and has a population of about 30. It is the most prosperous place in Changping Country.

In the past, it would take at least two months for my father to return from the border. Now, he returns to the capital in less than a week. It’s really too fast.

Han Shaoqing smiled at everyone and said, "Yes, with Bi Yue's Pegasus carriage, my old bones don't have to be shaken by horses anymore, hahahaha!"

Luo Chen suddenly thought of something, and said to Han Shaoqing, "Father, when we get to the capital, take Yue'er home, and the whole family should thank her."

"Chen'er, this is for sure. You don't need to ask for my opinion. The whole family will agree. When you go home, ask your mother to have the servants prepare a large courtyard for her to live in."

"Yueyue, come back to the palace with me. Didn't you say you wanted to go around the palace? I can be your guide."

Luo Chen glared at him, "Yue'er is just coming to Kyoto for the first time. She cannot enter the palace without an imperial edict. Don't you know that?"

"How difficult is that? I'll go back to the palace and tell my father, and he will definitely summon Yueyue to the palace."

Han Shaoqing saw the two boys quarreling again and hurriedly advised, "Your Highness and Luo Chen, stop arguing and go home first. I will go back to take a bath, change clothes, and tidy up my appearance and manners, then go to the palace to report to the emperor, and then see when His Majesty summons Bi Yue, and then make a decision."

The two stopped their verbal battle. Bi Yue felt funny seeing that they were both very angry, like two kids fighting over candy.

No one in the carriage spoke, just enjoying the big melon of Luo Chen and the Fifth Prince.

Han Chengyuan had been working at the iron mine, and he didn't know when Jiang Shaoxuan came to the border. Later, when everyone went to the mine to see him, they saw him for the first time. Now he knows,

The fifth prince also coveted his fourth brother's wife. How could this be possible? She was a goddess, how could he let others snatch her away? Just as he was about to say something, the little maid sitting next to him spoke.

Xiaomai asked, "Miss, where will the carriage stop later?"

Bi Yue asked Luo Chen with inquiring eyes, and he said, "Yue'er, don't let the Pegasus carriage enter the city for the time being, it will cause a commotion. We should find a forest ten miles outside the city to stop first, and it would be best to drive the carriage into the city."

"Well, Chen'er, this is a good idea."

The carriage stopped in a ten-mile forest outside the capital. The system had scanned it in advance and found that there were not many people nearby. The carriage slowly landed on an open space in the forest and everyone got off the horses.

Bi Yue put away the three paper-drawn flying horses, placed the one she was riding into a wooden box, and took out four ordinary carriages from her treasure bag, and everyone got on.

The Fifth Prince's guards took the initiative to drive the carriage. A few minutes later, the carriage arrived at the gate of the capital. From afar, they could see the tall city walls outside the capital, which looked solemn and majestic.

Many people entered the city today, and there was a long line of carriages. The Fifth Prince saw so many people and carriages queuing. It was almost dark when he waited for the soldiers in front of him to finish checking the line, so he ordered the guards to take his token to the front and ask the soldiers to make some arrangements.

After a while, the guard came and returned the token to the fifth prince. He bowed and said to Jiang Shaoxuan, "Your Highness, we can enter the city first. The carriages lined up in front will make way to the side under the guidance of the soldiers.

The Fifth Prince's carriage was in the front with the curtains open. When the officials in line saw that it was the Fifth Prince who had returned from the border, they all came forward to greet him in a very warm manner.

When Bi Yue saw this scene, she realized what the supremacy of imperial power meant. In this feudal society, power was the green light and allowed unimpeded passage.

After the four carriages entered the city, they separated at the crossroads, and Jiang Shaoxuan, Han Shaoqing and others said goodbye.

The ten guards got off the carriage and stood on both sides of the fifth prince's carriage. The Zhao brothers were driving the carriage. Jiang Shaoxuan sat alone in the carriage and drove towards the palace.

The other three carriages drove towards the residence of Marquis Dingyuan.

After an incense stick of time, three carriages stopped at the gate of the marquis's mansion. On the door plaque were three powerful characters "Marquis Dingyuan". The stone lions in front of the door stood majestically. The stone drums next to them seemed to be war drums resounding through the world, showing the owner's dominance and dignity. The lintel was towering like clouds, magnificent and auspicious, like the sky. The eaves were decorated with carved beams and painted pillars, with exquisite craftsmanship and ingenuity, which was breathtaking.

There were four guards outside the gate. They saw three carriages parked at the gate. When they were hesitating, they saw the Marquis and three young masters getting out of the carriages.

Another little Si hurried back to the mansion to report. The other three walked down the steps, smiling widely, and shouted, "My Lord, you are back. The three young masters are back safely as well. That's great."

The guards saw that in addition to the marquis and his four sons, there were more than a dozen guards following them, with a beautiful woman in the middle and two maids, followed by five strong men.

Seeing so many people coming down, he hurried over to greet them. Knowing that these were all brought back by the Marquis from the border, he did not dare to neglect them in the slightest and politely invited them into the mansion.

At this time, several servants came out and quickly pulled the three carriages to the stable in the backyard of the mansion.

At this time, about ten people, big and small, old and young, walked out of the marquis's mansion.

Walking in front were the old marquis and his wife, who saw their son and three grandsons returning.

Luo Chen saw his relatives coming out and shouted, "Grandpa, grandma, mother, sisters-in-law, hello, I'm home."

When the grandmother saw Luo Chen, she grabbed his hands and shouted happily, "My dear grandson, you are finally back. Grandma thought she would never see you again in this life." Then she started to cry.

Jiang Zhenzhu came up from behind and hugged her youngest son's shoulders, crying and shouting, "My son, you are finally back. I thought, I thought... it's good that you are back, it's good that you are back."

.........

Bi Yue was filled with mixed emotions when she saw this scene. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hadn't seen Luo Chen for several years, so they must be very happy and excited, which is normal.

The two sisters-in-law met their husbands respectively. Han Chengzhang took the child from his wife's hands and started teasing him, and there was great joy in the atmosphere.

Han Shaoqing saw this and said to his mother and wife, "Let's go inside the mansion. Standing outside and crying will make people laugh at us."

After hearing what their son/husband said, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law let go of Luo Chen and wiped their tears with handkerchiefs. Then they noticed that there were many people around and quickly told everyone to go into the house.

Jiang Zhenzhu noticed a beautiful girl behind her, followed by two maids with extraordinary bearing. She guessed that this was Biyue, whom her husband had repeatedly praised in his letters. She came over from her son's side and said to her with a smile, "You must be Chen Biyue, you are so pretty, like a fairy from heaven. Thank you for saving my Chen'er. You are the great benefactor of our family. He was able to meet you because of the great blessing of the Han family's ancestors, and it is also a blessing for this boy."

After saying that, he took Biyue's little hand, held his son's hand with his right hand, and led the two into the courtyard.
