"Princess, I saw the prince!" Tie Shui, who was following outside the sedan, pointed at the city gate and said excitedly, "Look, there is Beiyuan, and the second master..."

It was her first time traveling far away, and she followed Chu Zhao for thousands of miles. At this time, she suddenly saw people in her hometown. No matter what her previous relationship was, they all felt very friendly.

Chu Zhao also felt the same way. Although she had no feelings for Murong Xiao and had been at odds with him before, she had not seen him for several months, so it was inevitable that she would have some expectations.

She lifted the curtain of the sedan chair to look out, but unfortunately the angle was not enough and her view was blocked by the crowd in front of her. She could not even see the corner of Murong Xiao's clothes.

Outside the city gate, Beiyuan reined in his horse and stood beside Murong Xiao, pointing at the noisy crowd opposite to Murong Xiao.

"Lord, look, the princess has brought people to pick us up. There are so many people, and there are drums and music. This battle is quite big..."

Murong Xiao held the reins and sat upright on the horse, eager to see Chu Zhao's figure, but his sight was blocked by the Jin Yuwei walking in front, and nothing could be seen except the head of the black crow.

Fortunately, the team quickly passed through the gate tower and reached the outside of the city. Jin Yuwei spread out to both sides, and Chu Zhao's sedan was the first to stop.

Seeing the tall girl Iron Hammer following the sedan, Murong Xiao knew that the person sitting in the sedan must be Chu Zhao, and he became nervous unconsciously, his muscles all over his body tightened, and his palms began to sweat.

I haven’t seen her for a few months, and I don’t know what that woman looks like now?

Like him, she had traveled a long distance and been exposed to wind and sun. Would she also be haggard, dark and thin?

Murong Xiao was a little anxious and was about to dismount to greet him when he suddenly saw a young man wearing a bright red embroidered gold python robe dismounted and walked to the sedan, stretched out his hand to raise the curtain of the sedan, and helped Chu Zhao out from inside.

The man was tall and straight, with a superior appearance, and his overall majesty showed that he was no ordinary figure. Murong Xiao stared at his hand that grabbed Chu Zhao's wrist, and his long eyebrows suddenly turned into knots.

Who is this person?

It’s not like the princess didn’t bring her maid, so what kind of courtesy is he showing here?

Judging from his attire, could it be Feng Guanlan, the chief internal supervisor and commander of the Jinyiwei mentioned in Mr. Qi's letter?

How could this old eunuch, who I thought was a girly girl, turn out to be so handsome?

Murong Xiao thought sourly. The next moment, when he saw Chu Zhao coming down from the sedan, he was shocked.

This was the first time he saw Chu Zhao wearing the princess's auspicious uniform. This outfit was too stunning for him, beyond his imagination.

He watched her walking towards him step by step with Feng Guanlan's support. She had a beautiful face and elegant posture. If she replaced the Jiuzhai crown on her head with a phoenix crown and the auspicious clothes with a phoenix robe, she would definitely be the most beautiful queen in the history of Dayan.

Next to her, Feng Guanlan, dressed in a bright red embroidered gold python robe, was surprisingly harmonious with her. Not only Murong Xiao, but also the officials accompanying her couldn't help but praise in their hearts, "It's a perfect match."

Murong Xiao was slightly displeased and regretted that he did not change his military uniform into the prince's Gunlong robe.

If he puts on the dragon robe and tidies up properly, he will definitely be no worse than this dead eunuch, and he will be more suitable standing with Chu Zhao.

By the way, how come this woman hasn't become ugly at all after being on the road for several months?

Not only has he not become ugly, he has become more majestic than before. There is no trace of the restraint of coming from a small place to a big city. On the contrary, he feels like he has returned to his home turf, like a tiger returning to the forest or a dragon entering the sea, feeling at ease and at ease.

Murong Xiao was dumbfounded and sat on the horse like a wooden sculpture. It was not until Chu Zhao came over, raised his head and called "Your Majesty" with a smile that he suddenly came to his senses, turned over and dismounted.

The two people stood opposite each other, one was tall and burly, with a dusty face, and the other was graceful and charming. Those officials who had previously thought that the princess, Mr. Xiaoge and Eunuch Feng were a good match, felt that these two people were also a good match.

It’s strange, why does Princess Jingnan match so well with everyone?

"King Jingnan has worked hard all the way. Our family has been ordered by His Majesty to lead the civil and military officials to welcome the king to the capital." Feng Guanlan said with a smile and handed Chu Zhao's hand to him, "My family is responsible for taking care of the princess in the palace these days. Now that the prince is here, our family can safely return the princess to the prince."

Without any hesitation, Murong Xiao immediately took Chu Zhao's hand and held it in his own. He nodded slightly to Feng Guanlan and said indifferently: "Thank you, Eunuch Feng."

Chu Zhao looked at the two of them speechlessly, with a puzzled look on his face.

Is this a welcome ceremony or a handover ceremony? Why do they feel so funny?

She suppressed her laughter and looked at Murong Xiao seriously. Months of long journey had tanned his fair skin to a wheat color, made his body stronger and his eyes deeper. His cold face had been tempered by the dust all the way. The sharp lines make it look like a simple yet sharp sword, majestic and full of aura.

"..."

Chu Zhao's heart skipped a beat. Somehow, he thought of Xiao Chi again.

No, why did this bitch suddenly become so much like Xiao Chi?

After searching for so long, there is no way he is Xiao Chi, right?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Xiao Chi can be anyone, but not this guy!

If it doesn't work, she can accept it even if it's Feng Guanlan.

After all, she still wanted to kill this guy to avenge Chu Zhao when things happened in the future!

God, you can't make fun of people like this!

Chu Zhao had mixed feelings in his heart, and his eyes when looking at Murong Xiao became complicated.

Murong Xiao looked down at her and couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that she kept staring at him.

Looking at him so intently, you must miss him, right?

If you think about it like this, you don't even want to write two more letters to him. Why do you have to put on airs?

Murong Xiao tried his best to suppress the raised corners of his lips, squeezed her little hand tightly in his palm, and whispered softly: "Princess, thank you for your hard work."

"..."

Chu Zhao was aroused by his sudden tenderness. He quickly stopped thinking and gave him a stiff smile. Before he could exchange greetings, He Yunjie had already led the officials over.

"We are waiting to welcome the prince to the capital on the emperor's order. The prince has worked hard all the way." Everyone bowed and saluted and shouted.

He Yunjie stood at the front, his lowered gaze just fell on the intertwined hands of Chu Zhao and Murong Xiao. Seeing her white little hand being wrapped by Murong Xiao's rough and strong hand, he suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

From the first time they met, he called her princess, but because there was never a prince around her, he subconsciously regarded her as an independent individual.

It was only at this moment, when he saw Murong Xiao holding her hand openly in public, that he truly realized that she belonged to someone else.

He Yunjie took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, straightened up and looked at Murong Xiao.

"His Majesty has ordered a banquet to be held in the palace, and he also wants to reward the prince. Please come back to the palace with us!"

Murong Xiao looked at him and frowned slightly: "This gentleman looks very familiar. I seem to have seen him before somewhere."

He Yunjie didn't know whether he really didn't recognize him or was just pretending to be showing off, so he bowed his hands and reported to his family: "I have met the prince, He Yunjie."

"He Yunjie?" Murong Xiao's eyes lit up and he said in a long voice: "I remember, I beat you when you were a child!"
