The golden sunset hangs in the sky, and its afterglow shines on the rolling mountains, leaving only red soil between the sky and the earth.

Under the dark brown city wall, a long procession was driving slowly. Xie Ningyu rode a horse and reluctantly said goodbye to Xie Chunchao who was sitting on the carriage. "Chaochao, remember to be careful when you return to Shanling. Everything is done with you and The safety of our father, the queen, mother and concubines is our top priority.”

"Don't worry, brother." Xie Chunchao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "When the summer flowers bloom, I will be at Shanngling to welcome brother into the city."

Xie Ningyu was stunned for a moment and then said with the same smile, "Okay, I'll be waiting for the letter from Chao Chao at the border."

"Go back, there's no need to send him off." Xie Chunchao said, "We will meet again soon."

Xie Ningyu looked at her deeply and said, "Okay."

He reined in his horse and stopped in place, watching Xie Chunchao's carriage go away little by little, gradually turning into a tiny black dot until it disappeared...

He said softly, "See you again, I will see you again."

Xie Chunchao lowered the curtain and sat on the carriage, wiping his sword.

Lin Jingrong said: "Chaochao, will my brother return to Shanngling in summer?"

When Xie Chunchao spoke to Xie Ningyu just now, he spoke in a cryptic manner, so people who didn't know the truth would only think that Xie Ningyu would go back to Shanngling in the summer.

"Yes." Xie Chunchao said with a smile, "In the summer, we can reunite as a family."

Lin Jingrong smiled and said congratulations, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He pretended to look sideways at the scenery outside the window to cover up the disappointment in his eyes.

Even though their relationship has grown by leaps and bounds now, Xie Chunchao still doesn't completely trust him.

Lin Jingrong sighed softly in his heart, unconsciously supported his head with his hand, and put his other hand on his leg to tap lightly.

That's all, wouldn't it be too boring to trust him wholeheartedly?

Lin Jingrong looked back at Xie Chunchao's face, a little tenderness unknowingly revealed in her eyes.

The journey back went smoothly, and we didn't meet any bandits again.

Although Xie Chunchao had something on her mind, she thought it was a rare trip to see the scenery beyond Shanling, so their return was much slower than when they came.

Prince Liao's Mansion in Shanling.

"Chaochao is back today. Are the princess's favorite dishes ready?"

"Back to Princess, everything is ready."

"Okay." The richly dressed lady looked to the other side and asked, "Have the people sent out come back? Where is Chao Chao going now?"

"We should be arriving outside the city soon." The boy replied, "I guess we should be there in another hour."

Princess Liao's eyebrows were filled with joy when she heard this, "Hurry, prepare the sedan quickly."

"What kind of sedan should you prepare?" King Liao said, "I will ride directly to pick up Chao Chao. Madam, you and I will ride together. I will take you with me. I guarantee that I will be there in half an hour."

Princess Liao rolled her eyes at him and said, "We are an old married couple. Isn't it embarrassing to ride a horse with you on the street?"

The King of Liao was puzzled: "What's so embarrassing about this?"

"We are husband and wife, what's wrong with riding on the same horse?"

He was a military general of the Liao Dynasty and acted carelessly, so why did he think it was wrong to take his wife on a horse?

Who in Manshanngling can say anything about him? It's not like he's taking someone else's wife with him.

But Princess Liao was different. She came from a scholarly family and was the most reserved and restrained. Not to mention riding on the same horse with her husband in full view of the public, or even holding hands outside, it was all Meng Lang's move for her.

However, in recent years, Princess Liao has relaxed a lot due to the exaggeration of King Liao.

But the education she received since she was a child still does not allow her and her husband to ride on the same horse in public.

"In public." King Liao whispered, "If you are not ashamed, I am still ashamed."

King Liao and Princess Liao have been together for many years, and he naturally knows Princess Liao's temper. He no longer forces her, but just whispers, "Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"

"It only takes half an hour?"

There was a little hesitation in Princess Liao's eyes. She wanted to see Chao Chao as soon as possible, but...

Forget it, it was just a little slower than King Liao anyway, so she could just wait a little longer.

During the time when Xie Chunchao left Shanling, Princess Liao was very worried. Her Chaochao had never left Shanling since she was a child, but now she went to such a far away place and stayed there for so many days.

When the Princess of Liao learned that Xie Chunchao had encountered bandits, she was so anxious that she prepared her carriage and horses and went to the border to look for him. However, the King of Liao stopped him. Fortunately, later, the news that Xie Chunchao was safe and sound also came back.

They heard from the servants the news that Xie Chunchao was far away in the frontier, and listened to her little progress, and they felt proud and sad in their hearts.

Proud that their little peony has finally grown up.

Sad that their little peony has finally grown up.

"Princess, we are arriving at Shanngling soon." Yun Xie's calm tone was filled with uncontrollable joy, and even Xie Chunchao's eyes showed some excitement.

Although she could see her brother from time to time at the border and train herself to build up strength, she often thought about her father, the king, and her concubines, and would even dream about her father, queen, and concubines being killed by the dog emperor...

As she was thinking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from ahead, followed by Yun Xie's high-pitched voice,

"Princess! The prince is here."

"What? Father?!" Xie Chunchao quickly opened the car curtain and looked into the distance. She saw her father galloping towards her on a horse. She shouted, "Father! Why are you here!"

The King of Liao's horse was very fast. He stopped outside Xie Chunchao's window, followed slowly on his horse, and said, "Of course I miss you. I know you are coming back today. How can your mother and I sit still?"

Xie Chunchao: "Just wait at home. There's not much time difference between the left and right, so why bother my father and mother to make this trip."

"What's this? Anyway, it's just idle time in the house."

Seeing that Xie Chunchao seemed to be getting off the bus, the King of Liao hurriedly said, "Just don't get off, your mother and concubine are still waiting for you."

Xie Chunchao asked, "Where is my mother and concubine?"

The King of Liao seemed to be complaining and said, "I asked your mother and concubine to ride on the same horse as me, but your mother and concubine refused to do so. She was riding behind in a carriage."

"My mother-in-law is here too?"

"That's right." King Liao frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Counting the time, it will be about half a stick of incense."

Xie Chunchao thought that her father and mother would warmly welcome her back, but she did not expect that her mother and father would come outside the city to pick her up.

It has always been the case that only the younger generation picks up their elders. How can there be any reason for the elders to travel so far to pick up their elders?

When Ning Heng went out to fight, the Ning family stood waiting at the door of their house no matter how much they thought about it. The same was true when his brother came back...

Xie Chunchao felt warm in her heart when she thought of this. Perhaps it was too warm, which made her eyes feel a little astringent...

She sniffed and whispered, "Next time, don't run so far to pick me up. How can any elder run so far to pick up a junior..."

The King of Liao was aware of Xie Chunchao's tears, but he only said, "Next time? Xie Chunchao, do you still want a next time?"

"You have made your mother and concubine very anxious when you go out this time. I think you can just stay in Shanngling."
