In the early morning of the next day, the sun rose in the east, the sky was full of morning glow, and in the rustling morning wind, officials from various ministries were getting ready outside the Meridian Gate, preparing to leave the city to welcome the arrival of King Jingnan.

Ge Lao He Pingchuan said he was ill and did not come, so Xiao Ge Lao went on his behalf. In order to ensure the personal safety of the officials, a total of six royal guards and [-]% of the troops of the Five Cities were dispatched for this trip.

Chu Zhao also got up early today and put on the official crown dress of a princess, a red wide-sleeved gown embroidered with golden clouds and phoenix patterns, and a nine-zhai crown with emerald green clouds, peonies, and golden phoenixes holding beads. Her sleeves were fluttering as she walked, and her beads were swaying gently, like a fairy. Coming down to earth is beyond words.

Because the team was going to gather outside the Meridian Gate, Feng Guanlan specially asked someone to carry Chu Zhao there on a shoulder chariot.

When she went to the Chengtian Palace yesterday, Chu Zhao was wearing palace clothes. In addition, everyone was impressed by her aura, so they ignored her original appearance.

At this moment, I suddenly saw her in a bright red crown dress appearing in front of me. Her bright and unparalleled face was covered with exquisite makeup. Under the rising sun, she was so beautiful that people dared not look directly at her.

At the same time, everyone thought the same thing: King Jingnan was so lucky that an ugly daughter-in-law could turn into a fairy.

He Yunjie stood at the front of the team, watching Chu Zhao get off his chariot and walk towards him step by step with the support of his maid. His dignified, noble, elegant and calm appearance was completely different from the female disciple yesterday. He couldn't tell for a moment which one was the real her.

"Long blessing from the little pavilion!" Chu Zhao walked up to him and saluted him.

He Yunjie's heart beat twice inexplicably, and he bowed his hands in return: "Princess, you're welcome."

The two of them were fighting openly and secretly the day before, but today they were polite and friendly, and all the officials could not take their eyes off them.

It happened that He Yunjie was also wearing a crimson official uniform with a wide robe and long sleeves, and a black gauze hat with two wings. The two of them stood opposite each other and saluted each other, giving people the feeling of being in a church.

Don't tell me, they are a perfect match, but it's a pity that they met at the wrong time.

Everyone was thinking in their hearts, and felt a little sad for the two of them for no reason.

After a while, the team was assembled. After confirming the number of people, the officials of the Ministry of Rites ordered the music to be played and set off.

Amidst the festive music, civil servants got on sedan chairs, military attachés mounted their horses, and the procession headed towards the south gate.

As Princess Chu Zhao of Jingnan, her sedan chair walked in the front. He Yunjie represented him and his father, and his sedan chair walked in the second place.

Feng Guanlan rode up to the front of Chu Zhao's sedan, and led a team of Jinyu guards in bright clothes and angry horses to clear the way.

The people got the news yesterday that Princess Jingnan was going out of the city to meet King Jingnan along with all the officials.

These days, Princess Jingnan's legendary deeds have been widely circulated in the capital, but no one has seen her true face.

We finally got an opportunity today, and no one wanted to miss it. They got up before dawn to cook, and went to the street early to grab a seat after dinner, fearing that they would be crowded in the back and not be seen.

For a time, both sides of the main road that must be passed to the south city gate were crowded with black crows. Even the big trees by the road were covered with children. Looking from a distance, it looked like a tree bearing human-shaped fruit.

As Jin Yuwei's team passed by, Chu Zhao's sedan appeared in front of them. People were still guessing who was carrying the first sedan. Someone in the crowd already shouted loudly: "Look, Princess Jingnan, that is Princess Jingnan's." sedan chair!"

The crowd exploded with a roar, and everyone widened their eyes and stretched their necks to look over here.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Chu Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard that the voice was that of General Xiao.

She opened the sedan curtain and waved to the bustling crowd. The smile on her face was as bright as the autumn sun above her head.

General Xiao squeezed in the crowd and jumped to wave to her: "Princess, Princess, everyone, look, the Princess has shown her face!"

"Oh my god! So beautiful! I'm afraid Princess Jingnan is not a goddess descended from heaven!" someone shouted in surprise.

"Yes, yes, Princess Jingnan is the reincarnation of the miracle doctor Yun Jiuzhen and the goddess Aga, isn't she just a goddess descending to earth!"

"The princess is not only beautiful in person, but also has a beautiful heart. She not only cures diseases and saves people, but also allows the Divine Medical Hall to print her medical secrets into books for the world to learn. She also recruits a large number of apprentices with foreign surnames and teaches them all her medical skills."

"The princess is not only good at medicine, she is also good at fighting. She pacified Wusul and rescued a whole city of people on her way to Beijing."

"She uncovered the evil plot of King Liang, helped the people of Mengyang recover the stolen grain, and asked King Jingnan who came later to destroy the bandits."

"Yes, yes, the princess and the prince are both great heroes who prayed for the people and are our heroes!"

"Let's go, folks, let's go and welcome our great hero back!"

The shouts came one after another like a surging tide, suppressing the festive rituals and music. Under the guidance of thoughtful people, the people's emotions were rising steadily, and King Jingnan and Princess Jingnan became saviors.

Amidst the deafening noise, all civil and military officials were shocked beyond measure.

What's going on? Their coming out of the city to meet King Jingnan was not announced to the public. How come everyone in the city knew about it overnight?

Not only did the people know that Princess Jingnan was coming, they also knew in which sedan Princess Jingnan was sitting.

Not only did he know which sedan Princess Jingnan was sitting in, but he also knew all about Princess Jingnan's deeds.

Not only did he know everything about Princess Jinnan, but he also knew that King Jingnan’s suppression of bandits was the result of Princess Jingnan’s instructions.

Also, listen to what they are shouting, what does it mean to welcome their great hero back?

King Jingnan's home is not in the capital. He is obviously visiting the capital. Why do these people regard the capital as his home?

Something is wrong!

It's really not right!

Someone must be setting the pace!

The officials who reacted quickly thought of what was going on and wanted to discuss it with Mr. Xiaoge. However, the streets were crowded with people and the people were passionate. If they stopped at this time, what would happen if they stopped.

If there are criminals hiding in the crowd waiting for opportunities to plot, it will be even worse than the gain.

Liu Wenzhong, the minister in charge of leading the team in the Ministry of Rites, was also confused. He rode up to He Yunjie's sedan and asked him across the sedan: "Mr. Xiaoge, what should we do?"

He Yunjie opened a corner of the sedan curtain slightly and looked at the crazy people outside, his cold jade-like face filled with clouds.

He knew that this woman would not stop, but he didn't expect that she would cause such a big fuss overnight.

At that time, she brought only a few servants into the city. How could she cause such a big disturbance?

It can be seen that she has already developed her own power in the capital, so she dared to enter the palace alone.

He suddenly remembered what Chu Zhao said yesterday. She said that the reason why she stayed in the palace was not that she couldn't get out, but that she didn't want to get out.

Why doesn't she want to go out?

Is it to stay in the palace and be in harmony with the people outside?

He Yunjie suddenly clenched his fists and ordered Liu Shilang: "Go and arrest those who scream the loudest!"

Those people must be Princess Jingnan’s people.

"Yes." Liu Shilang responded and rode away.

Feng Guanlan had been paying attention to the movements on He Yunjie's side. When he saw the official leaving, he immediately ordered the Jin Yu Wei Qianhu beside him: "Go, knock the man named Liu unconscious with a sack and throw it to the mass grave!"

"Yes." Qianhu responded and chased after Liu Shilang.

The team continued to move forward, and cheers and shouts could be heard everywhere they passed.

He Yunjie waited for a long time, until the city gate was far away, but he didn't see Liu Shilang coming back. He knew in his heart that Liu Shilang was probably in danger.

At this point, he had no choice but to endure it for the time being and wait until he got out of the city to meet the others in the sedan chair before making any further calculations.

Soon, the team arrived at the South City Gate surrounded by people.

Outside the city gate, a tall figure wearing armor could be vaguely seen, sitting upright on a horse looking into the gate.
