As the Spring Festival approaches, the atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere in Luoyang. Festive red lanterns are hung on the doorsteps of every household, and new peach charms are replaced to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and pray for blessings and disasters.
Outside the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion, Su Yao hugged her infant son Xiao Ke, and led the maids and servants of the mansion. Regardless of the severe cold weather, they all stood outside the gate, looking forward to Xiao Jie's return.
The north wind howled and the snow fell heavily. Although everyone was dressed in thick clothes, they still felt chilly.
Dong'er embraced Princess Yunmeng Xiao Ran, who was sleeping soundly, and felt her hands and feet were numb from the cold, so she couldn't help muttering softly: "Didn't you say that my uncle is returning to Beijing today? Why are there no one around now?"
Su Yao also smiled when she heard the words. Yesterday Xiao Jie sent someone to the city to tell herself that he arrived in the capital today. She was excited for a while, and led the people in the house to stand at the gate early this morning to welcome her husband. She never thought I waited for more than an hour, but I still didn't see the shadow of my husband. I think I should be tired of standing.
Seeing Dong'er's face flushed from the cold, Su Yao also felt a little distressed, so she said to her: "Dong'er, you take other people in to warm up first, I'll just wait for His Highness here alone."
Dong'er hurriedly explained that she was neither cold nor tired, but was only worried about freezing the princess, the little prince, and the little princess. Other maids and servants also echoed her words, saying that she was in good health, and standing for another day and night would not be a problem.
Just kidding, the princess can be polite to herself, but they can't be polite. If His Highness comes back and sees the princess standing alone outside the gate with the little prince in her arms, waiting for him, these servants will not have any good fruit in the future.
Su Yao still wanted to persuade her again, but Xiang Ling, a maid beside her, suddenly pointed excitedly at a group of carriages and horses on the avenue in the distance, and shouted excitedly: "Princess, look, His Highness's carriage."
Su Yao heard the words and hurriedly looked around. Although the heavy snow blocked some of her sight, she still saw a familiar carriage at a glance. Escorted by several familiar figures, she chattered and rolled the slush toward her direction come.
For a moment, Su Yao felt that her nose was slightly sore, and her eye sockets seemed to be slightly red. It seemed that the longing that had been suppressed deep in her heart was almost coming out of her eyes.
Su Yao sucked her nose hard and blinked her eyes a few times to avoid losing her composure in front of everyone.
The carriages and horses soon stopped outside the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion, but to Su Yao's surprise, only Tao Han got out of the carriage, but the figure he had been thinking about day and night never appeared.
Su Yao glanced over the faces of other people, but saw that they all looked worried, and she couldn't help feeling a strong uneasiness in her heart.
"Princess, as soon as we entered the city gate, Commander Zhang came over with a group of Qilin guards, saying that he brought His Highness into the palace according to the emperor's order." Tao Han sighed and told Su Yao the last thing he wanted to hear news.
Su Yao swayed and almost didn't stand still. Fortunately, Xiangling's eyes were quick and her hands quickly supported her.
Tao Han also hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Yao, and comforted him: "Princess, don't think too much about it. Your Highness is auspicious, and she will be fine."
These days, there are rumors in Luoyang City that Xiao Jie, the king of Qi, did not hesitate to cheat in order to enter the East Palace. Naturally, Su Yao has heard of it. She doesn't know the truth, but she knows that Xiao Jie has always been competitive and unwilling to be inferior to others. Now Xiao Huang was in the limelight because of his recovery of the Western Regions, and she was also worried that her husband would cheat and report taxes in order to overwhelm Xiao Huang, which would cause irreparable and terrible consequences.
Su Yao seemed to have thought of something, turned her body to Tao Han, fixed her gaze on Tao Han's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Tao, tell me the truth, is the tax amount reported by Your Highness true?"
Although Su Yao asked endlessly, Tao Han Bingxue was smart and understood Su Yao's meaning at once, and also guessed the cause and effect of the matter, but breathed a long sigh of relief.
Presumably, the amount of taxes reported to the state this year was too shocking. The emperor didn't believe it, so he specially summoned his highness to ask him face to face. It was a false alarm.
Thinking of this, Tao Han smiled and comforted Su Yao and said, "Princess, if it's because of taxes, don't worry about it. Before His Highness sent someone to report to the household department, he asked someone to do the calculation again and again. This year's tax to the state is this Count, every point is exactly right."
Su Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but when she thought of all the rumors and rumors about her husband in the capital during this period, she gritted her teeth. As Princess Qi, she had to justify her husband's name and maintain his dignity reputation.
"Xiangling, you and Dong'er take good care of the two children. Miss Tao, come with me to the Su residence."
Su Yao handed the child in her arms to Xiangling, explained a few words, then pulled Tao Han into the carriage and asked the driver to take her to Su's residence.
Husband has protected her so many times, this time it's my turn to stand up for him.
……
As soon as Xiao Jie and Zhang Chu entered the imperial study room, they saw their father sitting behind the imperial table, looking at them expressionlessly, and Lian Yi, the internal servant standing beside him, also looked at them strangely.
"My son (chen) sees Your Majesty, long live my father (my emperor) long live long live long live long live!"
Xiao Jie didn't have time to think about it, knelt down together with Zhang Chu, and respectfully saluted Xiao Ji.
"Zhang Qing's family, let's get back down." Xiao Ji nodded slightly, indicating that Zhang Chu could get up.
Xiao Jie was a little speechless in his heart, he really was his own father, if there was any disagreement, he would like to kneel down first.
Xiao Ji didn't speak, just winked at Lian Yi who was at the side, Lian Yi understood, picked up a book on the imperial table, walked lightly to Xiao Jie, and presented it to him with both hands: "Your Highness, Your Majesty wants you check it out?"
Xiao Jie took the book and recognized at a glance that it was the Jiaozhou tax book that he sent someone to Beijing to report to the Ministry of Households. , Thinking that I was falsifying and lying about the number, or even extorting money, so I specially summoned myself to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.
He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. How come other traversers would be regarded as gods by others if they made a little noise, and he had made such a great achievement, how could everyone think that he was cheating? .
There is no way, Xiao Jie, as a systematic traveler, only needs to make a few moves, which is already the limit of this era.
Outside the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion, Su Yao hugged her infant son Xiao Ke, and led the maids and servants of the mansion. Regardless of the severe cold weather, they all stood outside the gate, looking forward to Xiao Jie's return.
