One-acre three-point land of the miracle doctor and peasant girl

Chapter 408 Returning to Beijing
Not long after this collective wedding, news came from the capital that the princes and concubines were to return to the capital, and the emperor was going to hold a family banquet.

"Xue'er, do you think we should go back?" Shan Yucheng asked for Hongxue's opinion.

"I don't think this is necessarily the emperor's intention..." Hongxue couldn't help sighing after hearing this, "But since the order has been made, it would be unfilial if you don't go, and you won't be able to justify it in front of everyone in the world..."

"I think so too." Shan Yucheng nodded and said, "Then let's go for a while? Or don't go, I'll just go by myself..."

"I'll be with you." Hongxue shook her head and said, "Although the crown prince has begun to govern now, his foundation is not stable after all, so he won't do anything too outrageous..."

"Okay." Shan Yucheng responded simply, "It just so happens that we also have to offer incense to the Empress Dowager, let's make arrangements here first, and leave in three days, just go there in time for the banquet..."

Because the news of entering Beijing somewhat affected everyone's mood, the original excitement in the village suddenly condensed, and everyone seemed a little worried and regretful.

"Okay, don't worry, we'll definitely be back next month..." Hongxue could only comfort the family and said, "This time we're riding horses, not carriages, and the round trip will only take ten or twenty days, so don't worry...

Everyone also knew that worrying was useless, so they quickly put it down.

When all the matters here are arranged, three days will pass. Hongxue brought two servant girls, Luwu and Luman, when she came to Beijing this time, while Shan Yucheng brought two brothers, Hong An and Hong Ping. , let Luliu and Yun'an be responsible for the safety of the mansion, and brought twelve more guards, absolutely light-packed.

After almost two years, Hongxue returned to the capital city again, but she didn't feel happy at all. The majestic capital city was not as comfortable as the mud-tile houses in the village.

Prince Cheng's Mansion is still the same as it was before. The previous Tingxue Pavilion was spotless, obviously it was cleaned frequently.

"This is the place where I got married. Now that I'm back, I really feel kind..." Hongxue looked around, but it's a pity that this place has lost popularity.

"I will stay here for a few more days when I come back this time." Lan Rui, the maid who was left here, said, "Our place is deserted this year, but now that Miss is back, it will be lively again for a while."

"Lan Rui, thank you for your hard work. If you feel uncomfortable living here, you should go back to the villa..." Hongxue suggested sincerely.

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Lan Rui fell to her knees with a plop, startled Hongxue, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "What's the matter?"

"Miss, don't you want your slaves?" Lan Rui said with a sad face: "If your slaves do anything wrong, you can punish them, but don't drive them back to the villa."

"No, who said you did something wrong?" Hongxue looked blankly at the two Luju beside her and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Miss, have you been spoiled too much by the prince, and you even forgot the rules of the villa?" Up and down the palace, only the four servant girls around Hongxue dared to speak to the master like that.

Hongxue still looked innocently at the three maidservants in front of her, she was clearly doing for Lan Rui's benefit, how could it be her fault to listen to Lu Wu's implication?
"Miss, have you forgotten that once a person trained in the villa accepts the mission, he cannot go back without a reason, otherwise he will be regarded as a traitor." Lu Wu sighed helplessly, and then said: "You let Lan Rui go back , what is it not to harm her?"

When Hongxue heard this, she was stunned for a while, and then she remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, but at that time, she told Brother Shangguan and the others that she was only borrowing Lan Rui, so why did she take over the task? Is there some misunderstanding here?

Seeing that Hongxue didn't speak, Lan Rui lowered her eyes and said: "The servant knows that the young lady is a good servant, but the order of the villa owner cannot be disobeyed. No matter whether the young lady borrowed it or what, the villa owner has said that as long as the servant leaves the villa, From now on, I will be Miss's person..."

"How can there be such a thing!" Hongxue couldn't help smiling wryly,
"Miss, I don't know. When the owner heard that you were in danger, he wanted to send everyone in the village to your side. Now that Lu Liu is married, let Lan Rui make up for it." Lu Wu laughed.

Back then, when the owner received the young lady's call for help, he almost blacklisted the lord as well. She still remembered how angry he got that time.

"Okay, since that's the case, you can stay by my side from now on." Hongxue felt that it was necessary to discuss this matter with Shang Guanming in the future, and forcing people like this would not work.

Last year's new year because of the death of the queen, the economy of the entire capital was severely affected. Entertainment was not allowed for a year, which made everyone very depressed. Therefore, this year, the streets were extremely lively, and the teahouses and restaurants were also overcrowded.

Hongxue looked from the window of the carriage, but couldn't help sighing, I hope Shan Yumao is not a warmonger, don't make trouble for nothing, otherwise, war will be caused, and this kind of bustle and bustle will probably cease.

Although the gate of the palace was still tall and majestic, it still made Hongxue feel strange.

"My lord and my concubine." The guards guarding the gate came to pay their respects.

"Commander Wu, why is it you?" Hongxue asked in a daze.

"Princess, don't call me commander, this subordinate is now a guard guarding the palace gate, not a commander anymore." Wu Chenhua shook his head and smiled wryly, "As soon as the crown prince came to power, he made a mistake and dismissed him..."

"I've seen the princess." At this time, another soldier came to pay his respects.

"Chen Wei?" Hongxue was taken aback for a moment, these people were the ones who escorted her out of Beijing back then, and they all experienced life and death together.

"Wangfei still remembers my subordinates?" Chen Wei laughed and said, "Let's follow Brother Wu now..."

Hongxue could only nod her head, but her expression was not very good, and she asked immediately, "Who is the current commander of the imperial army?"

"Leng Fei." Wu Chenhua whispered, "Be careful in everything." Then someone came over from behind, and hurriedly took two steps back.

Hongxue and Shan Yucheng looked at each other, and then went straight into the palace gate.

This time the two did not leave separately, but went to Concubine Qing's bedroom together, but the doorkeeper said that Concubine Qing was not in good health, and she often fell asleep recently, so the two of them kowtowed outside The head came out.

"Prince Cheng..." As soon as he left the gate of Qinghe Palace, Nanny Zhan who was close to Concubine Qing chased him out.

Both Shan Yucheng and Hongxue hurriedly stopped, then turned around and greeted them: "Mommy."

"Hey, I'm getting old, my body is failing..." Nanny Zhan smiled, and then sighed, "I don't know when I can close my eyes and I won't be able to wake up..."

"Nurse, don't talk too much, you are going to live a long life..." Hongxue said hastily.
