princess come to my arms

Chapter 9 Entering Beijing for the First Time

The sound of firecrackers was deafening, and two teams of guards in hard armor lined up at the gate of Gu's house. In the middle of the team, three empty carriages were parked, waiting for their owners.It was heard that there was a big person in Yanping Mansion, and the people stood in groups one by one, gathered outside the cordon, looking out with their heads out, bustling.In front of them, Yanping officers and soldiers stood guard, everyone's face was very serious.

The sound of firecrackers fell, and the lingering smoke dispersed with the wind.Several figures came out of Gu's mansion, and the leader was Li Weixi, the jewel in the palm of the Jin Dynasty.With her hands behind her back, she walked lightly to the front of the carriage, and someone opened the door, and she got in.The whole itinerary was done in one go without delay, enough to show the majesty of the royal family.

Not far behind, followed by Zunwang and Zunwangfei.The two walked forward hand in hand, talking and laughing, and their eyebrows were beaming.And when the rumored His Royal Highness Zun Wang appeared in everyone's sight, the surrounding crowd exploded and made noises.

"Is that the respected king? She looks quite upright, why do people in the capital say she is a fool?"

"I don't know either. Look, why is he carrying so much burden?"

"Confusing."

No matter how the common people commented and pointed, Zunwang Li Yuqi only had Zunwangfei Gu Zixuan in his eyes.She guarded Gu Zixuan's side without even raising her head.

"Princess, please slow down." Li Yuqi held Gu Ziqi's hand, and carefully sent her up the wooden steps and into the carriage.I followed suit.

"Does the princess feel hungry?" As soon as she sat down, Li Yuqi began to flip through one of her bundles, which contained all the things that the princess likes to eat. There were a variety of them, all wrapped in clean straw paper.

"I just ate, and I'm not hungry yet." Gu Zixuan shook his head with a smile.

"Okay, then if you are hungry or cold, then call me the king."

"Ah."

The one who walked at the end carrying the burden was Gu Ziyou who resigned from home and went to Beijing. She paced forward, slowed down her pace, and talked to Gu Xin beside her.

Mrs. Gu didn't like to say goodbye to Yiyi, so she didn't come out of the house to see her off.

"Ziyou, this time you go to Beijing, you have to be careful in everything." Gu Xinyu said earnestly.

"I will be cautious in my words and deeds, father, don't worry. You wait a moment, the child will be on his way now. Let the second brother take care of mother."

"Bon voyage." Gu Xin stopped in place, and waved his hand gently towards Gu Ziyou.He also instructed the three servants following him: "Kansui, Eucommia, and Wolan, please take care of the third young master."

"Yes! Sir!"

After the last farewell words were finished, Gu Ziyou boarded the last carriage and prepared to enter Beijing.

The firecrackers sounded again, and with the loud gongs and drums, the Jin Yiwei who took the lead began to drive the horse, and the sound of horseshoes sounded slowly.

Gu Xin walked outside the door with the servants of the Gu family and watched them go away.

The group passed through Jianning Mansion, Jinhua Mansion, and Hangzhou Mansion, and arrived at Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing five days later.

At the Yongding Gate of the capital city, a man in a gown embroidered with thick black gold thread embroidered with golden dragons kept pace, and beside him stood the queen in a black and red dress.Seeing Li Jiayi's anxious appearance, she smiled and said: "Don't be impatient, Your Majesty, Xi'er will enter the city gate soon."

"If I can't see her for a moment, my heart will not be at peace for a moment."

Suddenly, a sharp eunuch's voice pierced the sky: "Princess Yongle is here, happy to play!"

"I'm coming!"

The rattling sound of the carriage stopped abruptly at Yongding Gate, the servant moved up the wooden steps, and a pretty and agile figure stepped out of the carriage and slowly got off the carriage.

"Xi'er!" Two urgent figures greeted her.

"Father, Queen Mother!"

"Xi'er, don't be so nonsense next time!" The emperor said sternly.

"Father calm down, there will be absolutely no next time."

Empress Chen didn't know that the emperor was just pretending to frighten Li Weixi.

So he hurriedly reconciled: "It's good to be safe, go to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors, all civil and military officials are waiting there!"

After finishing speaking, Princess Yongle dragged her exhausted body, together with Emperor Li Jiayi and Empress Chen, went to the Taimiao Temple to perform the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the ancestors, and began the red tape of the day.

Li Yuqi and Gu Zixuan in the second carriage were not far from Yongding Gate, looked around at the huge scene of the princess returning to Beijing, clicked their tongues in admiration, and returned to Zunwang Mansion alone.

On the third carriage, Gu Ziyou, who was unfamiliar with the place, moved into the Princess Mansion first under the arrangement of the maid Ze Lan.

"Master Gu, this is the residence arranged by Her Royal Highness the Princess. This is Ma Lin, Uncle Ma, the butler of the Princess Mansion. If you need anything, feel free to ask him." Ze Lan called the old butler of the Princess Mansion and introduced.

"Well, thank you both. In the future, I will trouble you both."

After exchanging greetings outside the door for a while, the housekeeper Ma Lin and Ze Lan dispersed and started to prepare for the princess's return home.

Gu Ziyou pushed open the door of the other garden and stepped in.

Looking at the magnificent princess mansion of Biwa Zhuxi, the most excited thing is those attendants who have never seen the world.They danced and said joyfully: "Third Young Master, this Princess Mansion is really grand, it's much bigger than Gu's Mansion!"

"There are many adults in the princess mansion, you three must pay attention to everything you say and do, and you must not offend taboos, do you understand?"

"Remember the young master's instruction!"

Looking at this well-arranged courtyard, Gu Ziyou's mood was not as relaxed and joyful as the three servants.

A cup of cleansing is enough, all things will go away, and the fame and small profits will be envied.

She only wishes to heal Her Royal Highness as soon as possible, travel among the people, and live a life like a wild crane in the clouds and wild cranes.

**

The Princess Mansion, which had been silent for a long time, became very lively because of Li Weixi's return, and the backyard of the deep palace, which was undercurrent, also set off a huge wave because of this incident.

In a pavilion next to the Taiye Pool, there are two beautiful women sitting on their knees, holding fresh tea in their hands and drinking slowly.

"Concubine Shu, have you heard that Princess Yongle returns to the capital today, the scene is really great."

"No, concubine Liang, the emperor personally greeted her at the gate of the city, and she arrived an hour ago. Think about it, who can match this favor?"

"I heard that Princess Yongle was assassinated outside the palace, but she escaped. It's really a fate."

"I really hope that something happened to her, so that the emperor can see his excellent sons. Hey..."

"From ancient times to the present, in the harem, whoever can give birth to a prince is the mother who is more expensive than the son. In our Great Jin Dynasty, it was reversed. If you give birth to a princess, you will be able to ascend to heaven."

"No one in the royal family can figure it out."

"If you say that this Princess Yongle is also destined to die, the cold poison was found in the deep mountains, and she can still come back alive."

"I heard that a folk doctor saved her."

"What luck!"

"She was lucky this time, maybe next time, I believe, God is fair."

"Forget it, no matter how much we talk, it won't help. The dinner party is about to start, and it's time for us to leave."

The sky is getting dark, and the singing and dancing in the inner city of the palace has begun.The princess came back safely. Li Jiayi was so happy that he was very drunk. He blushed and said to the civil and military officials: "Today is a happy day. All the ministers let go of eating and drinking. If you don't get drunk, you won't return. Tomorrow's court meeting will be excused!"

The rare rest made the ministers cheer for joy, and the officials who were always picky about trivial matters also silenced, and began to sing and drink.

After a short snack, Li Weixi felt full, and was extremely tired due to the exhaustion of the boat.She got up from her seat, and resigned with the emperor and empress.The emperor was naturally gracious, so she left silently and returned to the princess mansion.

"How about Gu Ziyou?" On the carriage, Li Weixi closed his eyes and asked Zelan.

"Reporting to the princess, Young Master Gu has already lived in the other garden and settled down."

"Tomorrow, I will take a rest in the middle of the court. The imperial decree will not be issued until the next day. Remember to inform her."

"Yes."

After returning to the Princess Mansion, Li Weixi had no time to care about other things, and went back to her bedroom with drowsiness. After washing up a bit, she went straight to rest.

For the next few days, she kept visiting relatives and friends, and had no time to pay attention to this sudden extra person.

The imperial decree for bestowing an official came on the third day, and Gu Ziyou took over the official uniform and thanked Long En.

She is now the imperial doctor of the princess mansion, and she just needs to take good care of the princess.There is no need to wait in front of the palace gate when the sky is not clear, no need to wait for the sound of bells and drums, and no need to form a team in the square in front of the palace.

This is really an official who couldn't be more leisurely.

Gu Ziyou knew that all of this was arranged by Li Weixi.
