Thinking about Shuyan's miserable fate, Fu Guiyun didn't like to force others to do things. If she didn't want to, there was no reason for him to force her.

Moreover, this girl stayed by his side and took very good care of Lu Qingchen and Lu Qingyu, which made him less worried. This was something that Nanny Tong, Cui Luo, Qinglu and others could not compare to.

Thinking of this, she gladly accepted the result.

After resting in the border town for three days, the night before departure, Prince Dongyi hurriedly sent over 500,000 taels of silver, fearing that if he was a step late, Prince Liyang's Palace would send someone to file a complaint to the emperor.

Ye Zhilan did not put the money into the treasury, but gave it all to Fu Guiyun and asked her to deal with it as she pleased.

No matter how much Fu Guiyun loved money, he would not embezzle the silver earned by the soldiers' lives into his own treasury. Except for 100,000 taels of silver as compensation for the fallen soldiers, the rest was given to Huang Sheng to manage as a reward for the soldiers of Liyang Palace for their bloody battles.

Everyone knows that the soldiers guarding the northern border work hard, but the southern border is also a dangerous place, surrounded by enemies on all sides. If it weren't for Lu Chen and the Lu family army, the Jiangzuo area would have changed hands countless times.

It was only a matter of time before Emperor Hui's perverse actions brought chaos upon the world. If possible, she would do her best to provide more benefits to the Lu family army and win over more people's hearts within her ability.

After packing their bags, the royal convoy traveled on the road for another two days and finally arrived back at the royal capital on the first morning of August.

As soon as we arrived at the city gate, we could hear waves of welcoming horns, and the deep and loud sound resounded through the sky.

The people of Liyang City had already filled the avenue outside the city, standing in an orderly manner on both sides of the city gate, watching the carriage of Princess Liyang entering the city, and kneeling excitedly with the soldiers: "Welcome the princess, welcome the Crown Prince's wife back to the city."

Fu Guiyun lifted a corner of the car curtain and saw Lu Chen leading a group of people coming out from the city with great joy.

In the crowd, she saw her uncle Zeng Ye and her long-lost cousin Zeng Xian. She was so happy that she burst into tears and got off the carriage first.

Zeng Xian also saw his cousin and ran out from the crowd excitedly.

Fu Guiyun smiled as she watched the little girl run up to her. She hugged her affectionately and kept shouting, "Cousin, you're finally here. My mother and I have been waiting for you for quite some time."

Thinking about the scene in which his cousin died tragically in front of him in his previous life, Fu Guiyun never thought that he would meet him again.

Unable to restrain herself, she patted the little guy's head and said with tears in her eyes, "Ah Xian has grown a lot taller again."

"Cousin, why are you crying?" Zeng Xian looked up at her, feeling a little puzzled.

"I'm glad I haven't seen you, Xian, for a long time." Fu Guiyun picked up the handkerchief and wiped his eyes.

Shuyan brought Lu Qingchen and Lu Qingyu out of the carriage. The two little guys couldn't help feeling jealous when they saw the handsome little boy being so close to his stepmother.

Lu Qingyu walked up to his stepmother blankly, staring at the intimacy between the two, blinking his little eyes continuously.

Lu Qingchen silently rolled his eyes, secretly tugged at the corner of Shu Yan's clothes, and asked with a pursed mouth: "Who is this person, and why is he holding on to the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Shu Yan held the little girl in her arms and replied happily: "Little Master, didn't you hear him call the Crown Prince's Consort "cousin"? You should call him "uncle."

"Uncle? Why?" Lu Qingchen was very unconvinced: "He only looks a little taller than me, why should he be my uncle?"

"Then do you recognize the Crown Prince's Consort as your legal mother?" Shu Yan asked him.

Lu Qingchen thought about it and lowered his head silently.

In his heart, he wanted to call the Crown Prince's Consort mother, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

Fu Guiyun naturally noticed the two little guys, so he picked up Lu Qingyu and introduced him, "Yu'er, this is mother's younger brother. From now on, you have to call him uncle."

Lu Qingyu bit her finger, looked carefully at Zeng Xian, who was only a little taller than her, and nodded reluctantly.

At this time, Ye Zhilan also walked out of the carriage.

Fu Guiyun hurriedly handed Xiao Qingyu over to the care of Nanny Tong.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law regarded the bastard's child as so precious, Lu Chen felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he still smiled.

"I just returned to the city last night. I learned that Princess and Yun'er were about to return to the city. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night. I finally waited for you to come back."

Lu Chen knew that everyone's safe return to the capital was inseparable from his daughter-in-law's plan. He was very grateful and immediately took a very exquisite box from the accompanying official and handed it to Fu Guiyun: "Yun'er, open it and take a look. This is a gift that your father prepared for you to enter Liyang City."

Seeing his father-in-law's mysterious look and his uncle standing beside him remaining silent, Fu Guiyun respectfully took the box, opened it, and saw that the entire box was filled with a huge bead.

A faint green light emanated from the beads.

"Yun'er, this is the national treasure of Darong, called the Pearl of the Sea. It is said that the former king of Darong got it from the sea. Putting it next to your pillow will help beautify your skin."

Zeng Ye explained with a smile: "When the prince captured the capital of Darong, he asked people to take good care of this treasure. Even my uncle and the soldiers were only lucky enough to take a look at it."

"Oh, Your Majesty, you have forgotten your first wife now that you have a daughter-in-law."

Ye Zhilan also came forward and pretended to be jealous: "The love between husband and wife for decades really can't be compared with Yun'er."

"Look at what the princess said. Why are you being jealous with the children? Of course, I can't forget you."

As Lu Chen spoke, he took a small box from the official beside him and said, "This string of agate beads is also priceless. It is most suitable for the princess. You are not in good health. Carrying it with you can relieve fatigue and nourish your body and mind."

"That's better." Ye Zhilan took the box and handed it to Nanny Jiang without looking at it for long. He glanced at Zeng Xian who was standing beside his daughter-in-law. He was handsome and charming, and really likable.

After bringing this family to Liyang City, we naturally cannot treat them unfairly.

"Your Highness was able to win the battles this time, not only because of the bravery of the Lu family soldiers, but also because of the assistance of General Zeng. It is really an injustice to ask you to move your family to Liyang City."

Ye Zhilan looked at Zeng Xian and said with a smile, "I think Ah Xian is a few years older than Qing Chen and Qing Yu. In a few years, he should consider starting a family. There is a farm thirty miles outside the north city gate, and there are more than ten shops in the small town. Let's give them to Ah Xian to settle down in the future."

"I would like to thank the princess for her generous reward on behalf of my son."

After moving to Liyang City, the prince had already arranged for the family to stay. Now the princess gave him a generous reward. Zeng Ye was extremely terrified and quickly bowed to thank her. He said, "It is my blessing to be able to serve the prince loyally and for the court. How can I feel wronged?"

"We are all family, there is no need to be so polite."

Lu Chen helped him up and hurriedly urged him, "Don't stand at the door, go back to the palace as soon as possible. Before I went to war, I had instructed Xu Changshi to renovate the palace and build a bedroom according to Yun'er's residence in the North Palace, and call it Chuxian Palace."

"Thank you, father."

Fu Guiyun was deeply touched by his father-in-law's compassion.

"Don't be polite to your father." Lu Chen said, "If you hadn't taken care of your mother and the family for me, so that I could go to the battlefield without any worries, how could I have won so many victories in a row?"

After saying this, he smiled and asked the soldiers everywhere: "Don't you think so?"

The soldiers followed suit and said, "The prince said that the Crown Prince's Consort is the lucky star of our Lu family army. Without the Crown Prince's Consort, there would be no great victory for our Lu family army."

"The soldiers are overpraising you."

Fu Guiyun felt that everyone was exaggerating the matter too much, but the military achievements his father-in-law had made in this life were indeed obvious to all. He destroyed a country within a few months of going out to fight, and quickly put down the chaos in the south.

In the previous life, due to the unrest at home, my father-in-law was worried about returning to the south, and until his death he just maintained a stalemate with the countries in the south.
