Time travel, Your Highness Ninth Prince has been rejected from marriage again!

After the fast, all the ministers returned to their respective residences. At the same time, officials from various places also arrived one after another.

In April, the city gates opened, and Qingyun and others stood at the gate, ready to welcome an old friend who came home late.

Qingyun stood at the front, with Yan Siyuan beside her, followed by Lu Xingci and Mo Jingchun.

After waiting for a while, I saw a team coming from afar.

The first one was Qing Xiao, he was riding a horse in the front, and behind him was a long line of carriages.

When they arrived at the city gate, Qing Xiao dismounted, lifted the curtain of a carriage, and reached out to lead Lin Ruochu out.

Compared to when he just left, Lin Ruochu has lost a lot of weight. His originally delicate face has become even thinner and he looks a little weak.

Some officials in the carriage at the back also got off, and when they saw the people who came to greet them, they bowed and said, "Greetings to His Majesty the Ninth Prince, Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Qingyun stepped forward and helped Lin Ruochu up, her eyes full of heartache, "Everyone, please get up. You have all made great contributions to the disaster relief work, but Your Majesty feels deeply ashamed for being trapped in Jincheng for so long.

But the late emperor has not yet been buried, so we cannot hold a banquet to welcome him, and I hope you will understand."

Led by Pei Boran, they respectfully expressed their gratitude, "We understand etiquette and understand your majesty's difficulties. Disaster relief is our duty and it is not hard work. Thank you, Your Majesty and the Princess for your concern. We are deeply humbled."

They were trapped in Jincheng and a lot of information could not be transmitted, but on the way back, Qing Xiao told them everything.

Things have already been decided, even if some people are dissatisfied, they can only hold it in.

"Thank you for your hard work, Censor Pei. If it weren't for your help, Chief Censor Lin would not have been able to control the situation at that time."

"Princess, you are too polite. Chief Secretary Lin is very sharp and intelligent. He not only discovered the plague in the first time and came up with the best solution. I didn't do anything either."

Qingyun nodded and looked at the other officials again. They all looked pale and exhausted. After a long journey and being trapped in Jincheng for such a long time, they had already become exhausted.

"Everyone, His Majesty understands your hard work here. Although he cannot give you large rewards, he asked me to pass on a message that all officials who go to Jincheng this time, no matter their rank, will be promoted one level."

Soon, those officials became happy, their complexions became better, and they all expressed their gratitude, "Your Majesty, thank you. Long live the emperor."

Qingyun curled her lips and said, "In that case, you all can go back home to recuperate first, and then come to the palace to express your gratitude."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, the Princess, for your grace."

Lin Ruochu did not return to the Zhao family, but went directly to the Princess's Mansion which Qingyun had not yet built.

Qingyun held Lin Ruochu's hand tightly and said, "It's all my fault. It took me so long to realize that something was wrong with Emperor Yan. You were trapped for so long in vain and even missed your wedding date."

Lin Ruochu smiled gently and reached out to pinch Qingyun's face. "How can it be your fault? He deliberately wanted to get us away. If the plan fails, he will definitely not let us come back."

Qing Xiao walked around the room with an unhappy look on his face.

The one who was more impatient than him was Yan Siyuan. He became even more annoyed when he saw him like this, and said unhappily: "What? Do you want to make yourself dizzy so that you can pretend nothing happened?"

Qing Xiao finally stopped and looked at him sadly, "Can't you wait a little longer? Can't you wait until Qiqi and I get married before taking action?"

Yan Siyuan glared at him and said, "You talk as if I don't want to. Even if we don't take action, he will. By then, the Prime Minister's Mansion won't be able to hold on until you come back."

Qing Xiao sighed and sat aside, feeling depressed alone.

Lin Ruochu covered her lips and chuckled, "It's just a matter of waiting a few more years, why aren't you even willing to do that?"

Qing Xiao took Lin Ruochu's hand from Qing Yun and said aggrievedly: "Of course I am willing. I am willing to wait as long as it takes. I just want to marry you as soon as possible."

Yan Siyuan spat at him, turned around and looked at Qingyun tenderly, "Xue'er, it seems you will have to wait a few more years before you can marry me."

Qingyun looked up at the sky in silence, pretending not to hear.

Lu Xingci was fanning himself with a fan, looking at the two pairs of infatuated men and beautiful women in front of him with a smug laugh, then he reached out and hugged Mo Jingchun in his arms.

"Fortunately, I acted quickly, otherwise I would have to wait."

Mo Jingchun blushed and glared at him.

Yan Siyuan and Qing Xiao cast their gloomy and resentful eyes on him, scaring Lu Xingci so much that he stopped waving the fan in his hand and just laughed awkwardly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yan Siyuan raised his eyebrows and grinned, "How long has it been since the women's army went to the border?"

Qing Xiao agreed, “It’s been several years, probably.”

"I don't know if I can still lift swords and spears."

"Who knows? We have to go to the border and kill a few enemies to find out."

"It just so happens that Shi Fengji has been causing trouble like crazy at the border recently, so why not let the women's army give it a try."

"Agree."

The two of them sang the same tune, making Lu Xingci's face turn pale. "You two are really 'good people' who are 'meticulous' and can even come up with such an idea."

Translated, it means a petty and treacherous person, Lu Xingci said this with gritted teeth.

Yan Siyuan and Qing Xiao looked at each other, then they stood up at the same time and took Lu Xingci out, one on the left and one on the right.

"It's been a while since we last had a exchange. Let's go and have some exchanges."

What Yan Siyuan said could make people angry to death. That was not called sparring, but a one-sided beating. Now, it has turned into a group fight. He shouldn't have said that.

Mo Jingchun watched the three of them leave, smiled and shook his head.

He took Lin Ruochu's hand and said softly: "You just came back, you should have a good rest. The Zhao family is already waiting outside the Princess's Mansion. I will take you back."

"Okay," Lin Ruochu nodded and left with Mo Jingchun.

Finally, Qingyun and Jinshui were the only ones left in the room.

Jinshui knelt on one knee in front of Qingyun and lowered his eyes, "I have failed to fulfill your trust and protect Miss Lin. Please punish me."

Qingyun raised her eyebrows and said, "Sister Ruchu is doing fine, how can you say you didn't take good care of her?"

Jin Shui lowered his head even more fiercely and said, "Master, Miss Lin..."

"What's wrong with her?".

Qingyun held the white jade teacup in her hand, her eyes were unclear and her face was filled with frost, which made people feel cold.

Jinshui changed his stance and knelt down, saying, "Miss Lin almost lost her virginity because I didn't trust Meng Minjiang enough, which is why he almost succeeded."

A small bang was heard, and the white jade teacup in Qingyun's hand was crushed into pieces. The pieces instantly cut her palm, and blood was dripping, which looked a little scary.

Jinshui was so frightened that he stood up and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to bandage Qingyun.

But before he touched Qingyun, the handkerchief in his hand was taken away by Qingyun and casually wrapped around his own hand.

Qingyun slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.

Jinshui stood there in a daze, but quickly reacted and knelt down again, saying, "I have overstepped my authority."

Qingyun's black eyes were deep and she looked calm and unperturbed.
