Chapter 397 Returning to Beijing
The construction of Menggu Province is nearing completion. After taking a look at it, Xiao Yichen gave high praise to Zhou Rui and others.

Before they knew it, they had been in the northern border for three years, and it was time for the soldiers from Jiangnan and Lingnan to retire.

Except for the generals with ranks who stayed in the Northern Frontier military camp, everyone else would retire. Those in the women's medical team who were willing to go back to Beijing with Shen Jia and his team could go together, and those who were unwilling to go to Beijing would retire and go home.

Wei Xuanxuan, Li Yue, Liu Xiaoying, Li Zhiye and twenty-five others followed Shen Jia back to Beijing.

After Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen personally saw the retired personnel off, they also began to return to Beijing.

Xiao Yichen felt that he couldn't continue to be Xiao Baopi, otherwise Zhou Rui would quit and he would lose more than he gained, so he went to find Zhou Rui and asked, "Uncle Zhou, do you want to go back to Beijing or stay in Mengwu Province?"

Zhou Rui pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I want to stay in Mengwu Province?"

He personally supervised the construction of Menggu Province bit by bit, and spent a lot of effort in it. Just like his own child, he had to leave as soon as he saw him learn to walk, and it was really hard to let him go.

Xiao Yichen understood him: "In that case, you will stay here as the governor of Mengwu Province. Whenever you want to return to the capital, just let me know and I will transfer you back to the capital."

Zhou Rui smiled slowly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help!"

"We are all family, Uncle Zhou, there is no need to be so polite."

Shen Jia glared at him and muttered, "How shameless! I haven't married you yet!"

Xiao Yichen smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this a matter of time?"

Ling Yunsu, Shen Hao and Zhou Sizheng laughed in a very unkind way.

In March, Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen and their entourage returned to Beijing in a grand procession.

I was in a hurry to get here and had no time to appreciate the scenery along the way.

When they returned, they were relaxed and everyone had the leisure to appreciate the scenery along the way. Even the rough guys from Tianji Pavilion, Flying Tigers, and Pioneer Team became gentle and happily followed them to travel around the mountains and rivers.

After the emperor received the letter from Xiao Yichen and others that they were returning to Beijing, he asked the Imperial Observatory to calculate the nearest auspicious day so that Xiao Yichen and Shen Jia could get married when they returned to Beijing.

The emperor waited day and night, but two months passed and he still hadn't seen them. He became a little uneasy.

"Fulu, it's been two months. Why haven't Chen'er and Shen Yatou arrived in Beijing yet?"

Fulu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. They may have been delayed on the way. I believe they will return to the capital soon."

The emperor snorted, his face full of resentment: "I am not worried about them getting into trouble. After all, they are evil beings, and they are accompanied by the Tianji Pavilion, the Flying Tigers, and the Vanguard. No one in the world can plot against them.

I am worried that they are having fun outside and don't want to come home, so I will have to wait a long time before I can retire, right? "

Fulu lowered his eyelids slightly and consoled him, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. His Highness and the Princess are filial and they are always thinking about you even when they are fighting in the northern border. How could they be out having fun?"

"That's true. They have always been filial. How could they bear to see an old man like me stay alone in the capital and face a mountain of memorials every day? When they come back, I will abdicate the throne to Chen'er and let them get married as soon as possible. Then I can have a great-grandson."

"Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. Your Highness and the Princess' child must be the most beautiful, intelligent, and lovely child in the world..."

The emperor's brows relaxed, and his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum: "My great-grandson is naturally the best in the world."

When Fulu saw that the emperor finally smiled, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Emperor received the news that His Highness had returned to the capital, he had been asking about it every day, which really made him a little overwhelmed. The journey was long, and there was no need to rush back to the capital. It would take a longer time to check on the people along the way.

The Emperor is anxious to hand over the country to Your Highness, so he feels that the time is too long.

Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen and their group traveled along the way and finally set foot in the capital at the end of June.

"We are finally back." Shen Hao opened his arms and said loudly.

"We are returning from the battle with swords and spears, and we are returning as kings with glory."

"Hahaha……"

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen rode in the front on horseback, followed by Ling Yunsu, Shen Hao, Zhou Sizheng, Wei Xuanxuan and others, and at the end were Tianji Pavilion, Flying Tigers, and the Vanguard.

The guards at the city gate recognized Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen from a distance and danced with excitement: "Your Highness and the Princess are back!"

When he shouted, the common people and other guards at the city gate all looked over.

Shen Jia, riding on a white horse, was wearing a blue suit, with her long hair tied up with a ribbon. She wore no makeup and no hairpins or jewelry. However, her beautiful face, heroic demeanor and innate noble temperament were still breathtakingly beautiful.

Xiao Yichen, riding a black horse, wearing a black suit, has a tall and straight figure like a pine tree, and has the natural aura of a king who dominates the world.

Instantly, everyone stopped where they were, their eyes sparkling with excitement, and they shouted loudly, "Greetings to His Highness, Princess!"

Shen Jia waved at them, causing many young girls and wives to blush instantly.

After they entered the city gate, he cursed himself for being bewitched by the princess.

The main streets of the capital were crowded with people coming and going. The noise made by Shen Jia and his group was so loud that it also attracted many people to stop and watch.

Most people recognized the identities of Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen, and their shouts were louder than those at the city gate.

There were many unmarried women in the crowd, and they were very self-aware and did not dare to look at Xiao Yichen, but instead looked at Ling Yunsu and others behind them.

Seeing so many handsome generals at once, everyone started to make plans in their minds.

Even many officials, when they saw them, tried hard to recall that they still had several unmarried daughters at home, and hoped that they could marry a general, which would also be regarded as indirectly clinging to the golden thigh of the future emperor.

These people were all smart people, so they naturally guessed that they were all generals of high rank and were Xiao Yichen's personal guards, and that they had a promising future.

They even set their sights on women like Li Yue, thinking that if someone in the family married any one of them, it would be of great benefit to the future development of the family.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen didn't know that as soon as they returned to Beijing, people from all sides began to plot against the people around them. Even if they knew, they wouldn't care. As long as they didn't use dirty tricks, it was normal for men and women to get married.

The group stopped at the gate of the Duke of Huguo's mansion. Xiao Yichen, Shen Jia, Shen Hao, Zhou Sizheng and others dismounted at the same time. The chief of the guards, Hei Fang, quickly sent someone to notify the people in the mansion, and then stepped forward with other guards to pay their respects.

They strode in front, followed by Ling Yunsu, Tianjige, Wei Xuanxuan, Li Yue and others.

The Flying Tigers and the Vanguard returned to the palace first.

Shen Zhuoyun, Gu, Wen and Yao hurried over after hearing the guards' report.
