She also tried hard not to shed a single tear.

But now I heard that my son was still alive and had returned safely.

The queen could no longer hold back and took Xiupa's arm to wipe away her tears.

He said hello repeatedly.

"Really? Really? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really back? I told you that His Highness would not abandon me. I told you!!! Hahahaha!!"

Before the Queen could ask, the Emperor opened his mouth.

Tang Mingzhu, who had gained a few pounds due to anxiety in the past few days, ran out of the tent out of control.

His face was full of joy, his smile stretched to the corners of his mouth, and the flesh on his face was trembling.

Especially when she heard that the prince had returned, she looked at the ladies who had refused to perform the ritual that day with a smug look, implying a provocation.

Sure enough, when those noble ladies heard the news that the prince had actually returned, they looked at Tang Mingzhu's provocative eyes.

I couldn't help feeling uneasy.

They all had admired the prince, but had never even received a glance from him.

Also, because he saw that Tang Mingzhu, a fool who said one thing and did another, was favored by the prince.

I am even more jealous.

When they were still in the boudoir, they had attended many banquets together, and they knew very well what kind of person Tang Mingzhu was.

He had previously abused maids and servants in front of them, and his actions were horrifying.

Since then, they have had no good impression of Tang Mingzhu, the daughter of the prime minister.

But now the prince is back. We thought he had been missing for so long that there would be no trace of him left.

They can also get close to other princes and seek better opportunities.

Who would have thought that Tang Mingzhu was so lucky.

Several girls who had mocked Tang Mingzhu that day felt sad.

He didn't dare to look Tang Mingzhu in the eye.

Under the eager gaze of everyone, Prince Chu Xiaohe was still wearing the clothes he wore that day, standing tall and straight with a fine horse at his lap.

I thought the prince would be in a dishevel when he returned after being missing for a few days, but I didn't expect that even though his clothes were damaged, he could still look handsome.

The emperor and empress saw Chu Xiaohe from afar, and without caring about the occasion, tears welled up in the eyes of the dignified emperor.

This scene made everyone even more stunned.

It is clear in his mind that the prince's position was originally stable enough, and now it seems to be even more unshakable.

Blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand. The Crown Prince saved Your Majesty in this time of crisis. When it spread among the people, it was not only a good story of a loving father and a filial son, but also laid an unshakable foundation.

Some people who had their own little ideas but had not had time to implement them, now dared not even have those little ideas.

Chu Xiaohe dismounted from his horse, and everyone bowed and greeted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his safe return.

The emperor and empress looked pleased.

Only Tang Mingzhu walked quickly to the prince regardless of the occasion.

Her originally pointed face has now turned into a round face, and after crying just now, it looks even more unsightly.

Chu Xiaohe frowned slightly, and his hand was directly grabbed by Tang Mingzhu.

Tang Mingzhu felt so grateful that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had finally returned that she cried out loud.

"Wow, Your Highness, you are finally back. You have no idea how worried I was about you. These past few days I have been begging the gods and Buddhas to exchange my life for your return. Now that you are back, I am relieved."

Tang Mingzhu said as she was about to dive into Chu Xiaohe's arms.

It was not the first time that Chu Xiaohe had hugged her in public before, and she thought that after all this, their relationship would be back to normal.

But never thought about it.

Chu Xiaohe looked slightly impatient. He calmly pulled back the hand that Tang Mingzhu was holding, and spoke indifferently and perfunctorily.
