Beijing.

Huo Lingxing was given the title of Yongchang, so when the carriage with the logo of Yongchang Palace just drove into the prosperous capital.

The news that Prince Yongchang had returned to Beijing spread quickly to the ears of some people like a gust of wind.

Shishi lifted the curtain of the car, and a curious little face poked out of the window, looking at the scene in the capital city with a dazzled look.

Outside the carriage, there were cars and horses passing by, and a constant stream of people. On both sides of the road, which was twice as wide as that of their small county town, there were also rows of shops.

But I don’t know how to describe the gap between the two. It’s probably like suddenly entering a colorful world from a gray and white world.

Shishi sighed, this place is just as Sister Yuling said, it is obvious that this is a rich place!

Because Huo Lingxing was in direct contact with the emperor via secret letters, no one in the capital knew about the divine seed except the emperor.

Those bureaucratic families are even less aware that certain people are possessive and are secretly plotting against them.

At this time, they were still wondering why Prince Yongchang suddenly came back after not returning to Beijing for several years.

Could it be for the emperor’s birthday?

The most magnificent house that Shi Shi had seen since coming to Da Xia was Huo Yunting’s general’s mansion on the border.

But now, standing in front of the Yongchang Palace, the eldest of the four members of their family opened their mouths and exclaimed in unison:

"Wow!"

Grand, grand, so grand!

In front of the gate of Yongchang Palace, there is a big stone lion on each side, and the dark red and gold-rimmed gate has been opened for a long time. Two rows of servants stand respectfully outside the gate, as if waiting for their master to return home.

As Huo Lingxing helped his wife get off the carriage, he saw the ignorant and surprised looks of the Shishi family and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Where is this?

Seeing that he was trying not to laugh, Xu glared at him, pulled her hand away, walked over to Xiao Wang, took her arm affectionately, and said to the others with a smile:

"Sister Wang, let's go in first."

When Xiao Wang heard the name, she was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and nodded repeatedly.

Xu took Xiao Wang's arm and personally led Shi Shi and the others into the house, followed by the Huo family's father and son.

"Welcome the prince and princess, and the second young master back home!"

As they approached, a white-haired old woman led a group of servants and shouted respectfully.

"Madame Wang, thank you for your hard work over the years."

With a smile on her face, Xu walked forward, took the old woman's hand and patted it twice. It was obvious that this old woman was different from ordinary servants. Even the father and son of the Huo family came forward to greet her.

Nanny Wang was Huo Lingxing's wet nurse and took care of him until he grew up. Later, the couple went to their fiefdom. Nanny Wang chose to stay and look after the palace because of her age and her family were all in the capital.

"Don't say that, Princess. This is what this old servant deserves."

Nanny Wang said this with a smile, but tears welled up in her eyes when she looked at the family of three.

"They are distinguished guests invited by the prince. Madam, please tell the servants to serve them well."

Xu didn't respond to her, but looked at the Shishi family beside her and introduced them solemnly, as if she was afraid that some ignorant servant would neglect them.

It is true that the people in the capital are the best at judging people and treating them differently.

Servants like them, whose masters are away for a long time and lack restraint and discipline, are bound to have some evil thoughts.

Some servants were originally ridiculed and disdainful of the Shishi family when they saw their attire and uneducated appearance.

But then they saw their princess holding someone affectionately, and after being reminded of the words just now, they began to take the Shishi family seriously.

Little Wang didn't know that even if she wore the best clothes, they were still not good enough in the eyes of the servants in the capital.

Afterwards, Xu personally took Shi Shi's family to settle down, while Huo Yunting and his son entered the palace without stopping.

In the east wing of the palace, Xu was leading two people to introduce Shi Shi's family.

"Sister Wang, this is Nanny Li, and this is Cui Liu. They used to serve me personally and are very familiar with the capital. How about letting them stay with you and Shishi for the next few days?"

"This old servant/slave greets several masters and ladies, young masters and young ladies!"

As soon as Xu finished speaking, the old woman and the middle-aged woman shouted respectfully to the Shishi family.

They were all Xu's confidants. When the four of them returned to the capital to call for the escort team, they specifically asked them to go to the capital first to make arrangements in advance.

"Ouch! I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!"

Shisi didn't react to what the two of them said, but her parents were shocked. They looked embarrassed and waved their hands repeatedly.

I have been a peasant for half my life. When have I ever been served by others and even called them Master and Madam?

Seeing this, Xu naturally understood why they reacted so strongly, so she smiled and joked:

"Why shouldn't you be so timid? You two should just relax and put your minds at ease. Shishi is so promising, so you should just take it as a step forward to get used to it."

The couple were used to listening to their parents and brother's decisions at home, but now that they were away from them, they subconsciously turned their gaze towards their little daughter.

Fortunately, Shishi now has half a brain, and Sang Jiale is one year older, otherwise this family of four would not be able to put together a complete brain.

When Shishi saw his parents looking at him, he felt that what Aunt Xu said made sense, and he grinned brightly.

"Yes, Mom and Dad, Aunt Xu is right, I have the best future!

When I get back, I will buy you a house as big as this!

And you even hire people to help you farm every day!"

"Eighth sister, can you ask me to farm for you?"

Sang Jiale pulled Shisi's clothes and asked in a low voice. He also wanted to buy a big house for his parents to live in, but he had no money, so he wanted to rely on farming for his sister to make money to buy a big house.

Shishi lowered his eyes and glanced at his brother with disdain, rejecting him mercilessly.

"No, you're not even as tall as a hoe!"

The conversation between the two children made everyone in the room laugh out loud, and also eased the tension of Mr. and Mrs. Wang.

In the end, Xiao Wang couldn't refuse, so Nanny Li and Cui Liu were kept.

But fortunately, the two seemed to know that they were not used to it, and disappeared when nothing was wrong, but they would appear in time from nowhere when they needed them.

In the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

Huo Lingxing sat opposite the emperor, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, while Huo Yunting stood upright beside them.

The father and son watched the emperor's actions, and the corners of their mouths twitched unconsciously.

The emperor was holding a roasted sweet potato in his hand. He peeled off the skin, smelled it, took a bite, and chewed it.

"Hmm~ Good times!"

With eyes shining, take another bite, chew, chew, chew.

"Good stuff!"

Bite and chew again.

Only after he had finished eating the whole roasted sweet potato did the emperor look up with a hint of unfulfilled desire, and with hope in his eyes he asked Huo Lingxing:

"Brother! Can this really yield several thousand kilograms per mu?"

The emperor only had these two princes, one civil and one military. After the country was stabilized, Huo Lingxing took the initiative to give up real power and stay away from the center of power. Although Huo Yunting held military power, he was only focused on protecting the border.

Therefore, the two brothers have always been friendly and harmonious with each other, which is a rare sight in the royal family.

Huo Lingxing nodded heavily, his tone serious.

"I saw it with my own eyes."
