"How long have they been out of town?"

"About two hours."

"Oh, thank you!"

"Princess Jiahui, you are so polite."

Yichen thanked the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate and urged his horse out of the north gate.

Outside the north city gate, all you can see is land that has just been harvested.

Shiyilang pointed to the corn stalks that had not been harvested yet in the field and asked his sister, "Why didn't they pull the corn stalks back home? They are best for cooking." Shiyilang liked to help his sister cook when his sister was cooking.

"Yeah, such good stuff, why don't they ship it back home?"

"Sister, let's remind them later, so that they don't waste such good things."

"Well, we'll remind them later."

Yichen urged the horse to run along the path beside it, and soon they arrived at the big river.

"Sister, there is a wooden bridge over there."

"Yeah." Yi Chen dismounted and prepared to lead the white horse across the river.

After the brother and sister crossed the river, they saw a group of people in the distance pointing and talking about something farther away.

Shiyilang has very sharp eyesight. He can spot his beautiful and lovely mother in the crowd at a glance.

"Mom, mom." Shiyilang sat on the horse's back and stretched out his chubby little hands, asking his mother to hold him.

"Hey!"

When Jiang Yan saw her youngest son, she put away her sharp edge, used her special ability and flew to her youngest son in the blink of an eye.

"Mom, mom." Throwing himself into his mother's arms, Shiyilang coquettishly hugged her neck and rubbed her non-stop. "Mom, do you miss me?"

"Yes, Mom misses our Shiyilang."

"Hehe, Shiyilang misses his mother too. Kiss!" Shiyilang kissed his mother hard on the face.

Shi Lang came over later and saw his younger brother acting like a spoiled child with his mother, so he went over and asked, "Shi Yi Lang, do you miss your brother?"

"Yes. Look at Shiyilang's belly, he's missing his brother."

Shiyilang's childish talk made General Ming and Captain Dong laugh out loud.

(I have to mention here that Captain Dong had been promoted a long time ago, but he refused to move from his position. He said that he was only in charge of so many people and would not take care of any more.)

General Ming was so angry that he kept insulting him, "You are the dignified Marquis of Yongning, but you are just sitting there as a thousand households, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

"He can laugh at whoever he wants, but if he has the guts, he can fight me. If he wins, he'll be awesome."

General Ming: There are really not many people in this world who can defeat this guy.

Captain Dong: "If it weren't for my brothers back then, I wouldn't even be willing to be a captain."

"Tsk, now many of your brothers have higher positions than you, a thousand households."

"That's good, they can protect me."

"Look at your potential."

"That's all I can do, hehe, what can you do to me?"

General Ming: It’s better not to talk to this guy. If he gets angry, he will have to hire a doctor himself. It’s not worth it.

Yichen: After so many years, these two still love to joke around.

But watching them bantering is also a kind of entertainment, haha, it makes me feel good.

When Jiang Yan saw Shiyilang dozing off in her arms, she said goodbye to General Ming and Captain Dong.

Before leaving, he whispered to them, "Land mines on the north side. Don't worry, King Rui will be back soon, and these mines will be built soon."

"Yes. We all listen to Madam Jiang."

General Ming and Captain Dong were still used to calling Jiang Yan "Madam Jiang".

Jiang Yan didn't care, it was just a name.

On the way back, Jiang Yan hugged Shiyilang who was already asleep, feeling bad.

Yichen could also guess some of her mother's feelings, so she started asking about things in the capital.

Juro knew a lot about the latest happenings in the capital, and he told his sister about them one by one.

"The Liu family is the most shameless. That Liu family wife is mean to the Liu family cousins, and she even wants to ask Aunt Jinyu for favors."

"It's quite shameless. Didn't Aunt Jinyu help my cousin Liu get revenge?"

"It was the Empress Dowager who issued an order to punish the Liu family. My cousin's father was dismissed from his post, and the entire family was expelled from the capital. That Liu family woman, Meng, was crippled by the executioner."

"Should!"

"Look at the Han family. They are much better than her. Aunt Linlang even gave a house to the stepmother of my cousin Wang."

"What kind of melon is this?"

Shi Lang recounted the story of the Wang family, "Aunt Linlang was really smart. She gave Han a two-story house with a large garden."

"Oh?"

"I heard from cousin Yuning that Aunt Linlang deliberately looked for a house like this because she didn't want anyone else in the Wang family to live there."

"It would be disgusting if such a disgusting old lady and her two sisters-in-law were allowed to live in this house."

"You don't know that Mr. Wang."

"What happened to him?"

"Because my eldest cousin from the Wang family refused the house given by the Emperor, Mr. Wang has been ill for many days and hasn't recovered."

"What does this have to do with him?"

"My eldest cousin from the Wang family was granted the title of Prince of Jiangxia by the Emperor's grandfather, and the house he was granted is the Prince's Mansion. If the Wang family could move in, it would be an unparalleled honor."

"With their character, they are really ugly, but their thoughts are beautiful."

"Ah."

"That Lord Wang, did nothing strange happen?"

"No. The Emperor's grandfather, in recognition of the good teaching he did for his cousins, promoted him to a higher rank. He will soon be able to appear before the Emperor in the Golden Palace."

"Grandfather Huang made a good move."

"I heard from my eldest brother that Lord Wang was stunned the moment he received the imperial edict. Then he burst into tears of joy and kowtowed loudly towards the imperial palace."

"It has to be our great grandfather..." Yi Chen gave a thumbs up.

The brother and sister talked about all kinds of gossip and unknowingly returned to the Thirteenth Banner.

As soon as he stepped into his own yard, Shi Lang couldn't help but howl twice. "Home is still the best. Even the palace and Prince Rui's mansion are not as comfortable as our home."

After Juro finished speaking, he threw the reins to his sister and then rushed back to his room. He was still talking to his sister through the window, "Sister, I'm tired. I want to sleep for a while. Don't wake me for dinner. I'll eat when I wake up."

"Okay." Looking at Shilang who looked tired and worn out, Yichen felt distressed.

Jiang Yan helped Shiyilang take off his outer cloak before putting him on the kang.

"Mom, you should get some sleep too. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

"Yeah, I'm really tired too."

Only after seeing her mother fall asleep did Yichen leave the room. It still felt better to have her mother at home.

The yard was too quiet, Yichen felt a little bored, and walked out of the house aimlessly.

The Thirteen Banners looked particularly peaceful under the setting sun. Yichen also saw Xiaodong and Xiaoxi walking on tiptoe.
