The Beiyan marriage team slowly entered the territory of Da Qi like a long winding dragon.

In this huge team, there were four hundred guards who were not on the list. They hid in the crowd and pretended to be people escorting the bride.

The third prince Rong Zhang rode a tall horse and walked side by side with the leader of the guards Jing Yu.

Rong Zhang's face was solemn and his eyes were deep. He knew very well the importance of this marriage and also understood his own purpose. He must bring the person who made the powerful weapons back to Beiyan for his own use. Reclaiming the throne was just around the corner.

Jing Yu had a serious expression on his face. He was the bodyguard of Rong Che, the second prince of Northern Yan who had passed away.

The Third Prince Rong Zhang thoroughly investigated the cause of Rong Che's death and found something strange. He also found out that King Mu of Qi had appeared in Julu when Rong Che had the accident, which made him suspect that Rong's death was caused by King Mu.

Rong Zhang found Jing Yu to explain the situation and asked him to follow the marriage team to Da Qi to help him achieve his goal, and he would help him avenge Rong Che. So they hit it off and secretly followed the marriage team to Da Qi without knowing the eyes and ears of His Majesty Bei Yan.

The four hundred guards who entered Da Qi quietly dispersed, some to investigate the truth behind Rong Che's death, and some to investigate the person who made the weapon.

Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou didn't know that the Third Prince and Jingyu from Beiyan were coming towards them to escort the bride.

They galloped all the way. In order to take care of Shen Rou, they stayed in an inn when they arrived at the county town. It didn't seem like they were on a journey, but rather out for fun.

Shangguan Rui looked at Shangguan Yunting and complained, "Uncle Jiu, if I had known you were taking your time, I could have come a few days later."

"It's not too late for you to go back to Yunzhou now. No one will care about you."

"Uncle Jiu, do you think I'm stupid? This back and forth must be exhausting for me."

Shangguan Yunting teased, "You won't feel tired when you go back and see the people you want to see. Your mood is crucial. Go back! I won't keep you, but you must come as soon as we reach the capital, otherwise I will complain to your father."

Shangguan Rui rolled his eyes at him angrily, then looked at Shen Rou and complained, "Princess Furong, can you please take care of my Uncle Nine, as he is bullying the weak?"

"I am the princess and he is the prince. I can't control him."

"but……"

"You little brat, you know how to complain. It's a bit early for you to complain now. It won't be too late to complain after Xiaorou becomes your Ninth Emperor Aunt."

"Uncle Jiu, you mean you can disobey Princess Furong now, right?"

Shangguan Yunting looked at Shen Rou and threw the ball to her, smiling and said: "Xiao Rou, I will listen to you if you control me now, do you control me?"

"I don't care. I have no right to care. Don't involve me in your uncle and nephew's affairs. Do whatever you want."

"You little brat, you have nowhere to complain now, so just use whatever tricks you have. I, your uncle, will be happy to accompany you."

"It's gone. I can't beat you, and I can't argue with you. There's someone who can control you, but she won't help me. What should I do? Can't I just admit defeat?"

"Kid, next time, understand the situation clearly and don't struggle unnecessarily."

Shangguan Rui turned his head away and whispered, "You are a family, I am an outsider. If Xiaoxue were here, she would definitely help me."

Shen Rou watched the uncle and nephew bickering with amusement. Shangguan Yunting used seniority to control the child, and he was also very sharp-tongued. Shangguan Rui was no match for him at all.

Finally, half a month ago, I arrived at the outskirts of Beijing.

"Han Lin, when will General Hong and his men arrive in the capital?"

"I have received news from General Hong that the army will need about five days to reach the capital."

"How many days will it take for the Northern Yan marriage contingent to reach the capital?"

"About ten days."

"Have you finished repairing the house I ordered you to buy in the capital?"

"My Lord, it has been renovated. I also want Princess Furong to go to the room and see if there are any other furnishings needed."

Shen Rou was surprised and asked: "What do you mean?"

"You must have your own house to live in when you come to the capital. If you live in Prince Mu's Mansion now, people will gossip about you. I don't mind, but I'm worried that you won't feel well."

"So when we were in the Youzhou military camp, we sent people to the capital to buy a three-story courtyard house for your family to live in."

Shen Rou felt warm in her heart. When she was with Shangguan Yunting, he took care of everything for her, no matter how big or small, which touched her very much.

Even if you are a tomboy, you still want to be loved and cared for. It feels great to be held in the palm of someone's hand.

Shen Rou looked at Shangguan Yunting gratefully, "Thank you for considering everything for me. I originally wanted to buy a house in the capital and open a large inn to prepare for the future. I didn't expect you to think of it in advance."

"Are you going to open an inn to plan for our future?"

"Now that we've come this far, we must prepare for the future. Whether we live in Beijing or not, we must have assets and connections in the capital."

Shangguan Yunting's face lit up with joy.

"Han Lin, help Xiaorou find a shop in a prosperous area of ​​Beijing. The bigger the better. If the landlord is willing to sell, buy it to save trouble in the future."

"I obey my orders."

"Han Lin just needs to help me find a shop, and I'll pay for it myself."

"It doesn't matter who we are."

"Even brothers have to settle accounts openly, let alone we don't even have a relationship now."

"Tomorrow we will go to the palace together to ask the emperor for permission to marry us, and then we will have a relationship."

Shen Rou smiled slightly and said nothing. Was she worried that the emperor and the empress dowager would agree to her marriage with Shangguan Yunting?
