Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 179: The Seven Horse Carriage of the Crown Prince's Vassals

Is this the place?

Xin Zhuo tiptoed and scanned the crowd in front, unable to see anything clearly. There were too many people, and he didn't know where Chanyi and the others were.

Zhang Guangpu stood up at this time, full of enthusiasm, and said, "Brothers, Miss Sun, let's charge in. We have arrived in the capital city, An Du!"

Fu Qingshan and Sun Miaor also felt a surge of enthusiasm. "Let's go! Into the capital!"

The four of them, plus a maid, squeezed forward desperately, but soon they became disoriented. Their ambitions were quickly worn away by the dense crowd, the high-ranking officials and their luxurious carriages, and the noble and wealthy people around them.

It was too insignificant, and there were too many people!

Finally, when they approached the city gate, they saw a section of the gate suddenly empty. Dozens of high-ranking officials, hundreds of elite cavalry, dozens of maids and servants, and several noble youths were waiting with peculiar ceremonial carriages and the seven horse carriages of the vassals.

A sense of aloofness and cold dignity emanated from them, evoking respect.

Even the luxurious carriages and horses and the noble and wealthy people around them became cautious.

Not far away, thousands of commoners and noble people were curiously watching.

Fu Qingshan, who had seen the world, changed his expression and pointed at a flag in the strange ceremonial carriage. "Jiang Clan, Prince's flag. No, it's a low first-level flag, the Crown Prince's flag! The Crown Prince of the Jiang Clan, the legitimate son of which Princess, only they have such a grand lineup!"

Sun Miaor also tiptoed to take a look and her face changed slightly. "My uncle is also among those officials, the one at the back!"

Zhang Guangpu exclaimed, "Today, it's the legitimate son of the Jiang Clan, a certain Crown Prince returning to the city? The people around him have hidden power and extremely high martial arts!"

While the three of them were still in a daze, Xin Zhuo had already walked over with heavy steps. He saw Sheng Lingge, Cui Ying'er, and the others who had been eagerly anticipating his arrival. Chanyi was also leading dozens of women with indiscernible aura, standing aside.

This should be the reception for me, right?

With this grand display, it's obvious that they want me to show my presence!

Who knew that just as he took two steps forward, Fu Qingshan and Zhang Guangpu behind him forcefully pulled him back. "Mourong brother, are you trying to get yourself killed? The Jiang Clan is a powerful and influential family, with numerous experts. If you offend them, your life will be in danger!"

Xin Zhuo struggled for a moment but couldn't break free, so he could only look embarrassed and say, "They should be here to receive me. I have to go home. If we have the chance, let's meet again!"

"To receive... you..."

Fu Qingshan and Zhang Guangpu widened their eyes, released their hands, but started trembling.

Sun Miaor also covered her mouth, her face pale.

Mourong Xiu's words couldn't be clearer. He... is the legitimate son of the Jiang Clan?

Xin Zhuo had already walked towards the carriage. As he approached, countless fiery gazes focused on him, scrutinizing, pondering, and filled with astonishment.

The legitimate eldest grandson of the Jiang Clan, who had been wandering outside for more than ten years, was about to return home in a few days. With the influence of the Jiang Clan, the news had naturally spread like thunder in the capital city.

In fact, the carriages had been waiting for several days. Since three days ago, countless people had gathered outside the East Gate to watch. It was only after not seeing anything on the first day and the second day that the crowd gradually decreased.

Even so, at this moment, there were at least tens of thousands of people waiting, including the moat and the city walls.

Watching the excitement was human nature. Everyone wanted to see what the legitimate eldest grandson of the Jiang Clan looked like.

At this moment, when they saw Xin Zhuo approaching, a group of officials immediately looked towards Sheng Lingge. "General Sheng, he is of suitable age, but is he the Crown Prince...?"

But they saw General Sheng Lingge and Chanyi leading ten Jiang Clan female guards, twenty maids, and dozens of elite experts, welcoming them from afar. "Crown Prince!"

Confirmed!

A group of officials from the Jiang family immediately approached with utmost respect and said, "We, the officials, pay our respects to the Crown Prince and congratulate him on returning to his ancestral home!"

Even the tens of thousands of eyes around them all turned to look. Some bold individuals shouted excitedly, "Crown Prince Jiang, I have admired you for a long time. You are indeed extremely handsome, haha!"

Xin Zhuo looked at Cui Ying'er and the others who were excited not far away, then looked at the group of people coming to greet him, and finally looked at the civil and military officials. He didn't know how to respond, so he nodded slightly and said, "Thank you all. I am tired from the journey and will not accompany you!"

Pausing for a moment, he pointed to the carriage pulled by the seven horses and asked, "Is this for me?"

Before Cui Ying'er could speak, a middle-aged woman in charge, who couldn't find any fault with her, bowed and saluted, discreetly glancing at Xin Zhuo, and said, "Naturally, it is the carriage of the Prince of Xiqin County. Please follow me, the old lady of the mansion, and the imperial concubines, princesses, and ladies of the mansion have been waiting for a long time!"

Xin Zhuo nodded, not wanting to be watched like a monkey, and quickly walked towards the carriage, plunging into it.

Watching this scene, Murong Xiu, Huang Da Gui, and others not far away couldn't help but sigh, "The head of the family is playing a big game, just like the real thing!"

In the crowded crowd, Fu Qingshan, Zhang Guangpu, and Sun Miaor were stunned and lost in thought. Did we... boast all the way with Prince Jiang? Is it appropriate? Why doesn't he show any signs?

Did we miss such a good opportunity?

Are all the children of prestigious families so low-key?

Sun Miaor blinked her eyes incessantly, carefully thinking in her mind whether she had left a good impression on the Prince of Xiqin County. Did he have any ambiguous looks towards her along the way? Can she make some moves?

It seems not! Annoying!

At this moment, Zhang Guangpu suddenly rushed forward and said, "Prince, Brother Jiang, we have a bond from traveling together for a hundred years..."

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked away heavily by a Jiang family guard.

The whip cracked seven times in the distance, and the carriage of the Prince of Xiqin County, surrounded by a large number of guards and maids, slowly drove away.

Just as the carriage was leaving, a figure stood up in the city gate tower not far away. He was dressed in a phoenix robe and had a bun on his head. He was slender and extremely handsome, with a beauty mark on his cherry lips that made him easily recognizable.

But his eyes were extremely complicated.

Even after the carriage had disappeared for a long time, he still stood there, staring blankly.

Until a deep voice came from behind, "Princess Chang, Prince Jiang has left. It's time to return to the palace!"

The woman suddenly turned around, her voice devoid of any emotion, "Why is it him?"

It sounded like a question, but also like a soliloquy.

...

The carriage with seven horses was very spacious and comfortable, and it was not bumpy at all. At this moment, besides Cui Ying'er, there were four other people in the carriage: a woman in her thirties who was in charge, and three handsome and charming maids.

Cui Ying'er closed her eyes and meditated, not asking about anything else, with a relaxed expression on her face. They had a smooth and uneventful journey, and arrived three days ahead of schedule, but they had not seen the Crown Prince's figure. They had been worried for several days, afraid that the Crown Prince had really run back, and all their efforts would be in vain. Fortunately...

The gazes of the other four people had never left Xin Zhuo since they got on the carriage. They glanced at him, then glanced again.

The woman in charge was just pondering the preferences of the Crown Prince.

And the three top maids in the mansion simply admired him, occasionally pursing their lips and smiling.

There were over a thousand maids and servants in the mansion, but only the most knowledgeable, beautiful, highest-ranking, and highest martial arts individuals were qualified to come and receive the Prince who had been wandering outside. They had fought through a series of open and secret struggles to get this opportunity.

At this moment, the woman in charge suddenly handed over a booklet and said, "I am Li Yun, you can call me as you please, Prince. These are the portraits of the old lady of the mansion, the princesses, ladies, young ladies, and second young master. Please take a look!"
