"Sister, I'm back."

Chu Chenning was still the same as usual, with a gleam in his peach blossom eyes.

Chu Chenyue nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I'm glad you're back." Her voice was gentle and calm, but it could hardly conceal the concern in it.

Chu Chenning turned over and dismounted with a quick and decisive movement, "We have completed the mission and need to rest."

"Let's go, send the Queen's father to the palace first."

Hearing a hint of fatigue in her tone, Chu Chenyue also knew that she was exhausted from the journey, so he quickly got on the horse and rode into Shengjing with her.

The group of people walked towards the city in a mighty procession.

The return of the Prince of Qin to the capital and the personal welcome by the Crown Princess was naturally a grand event. Not to mention the fact that the Prince of Qin had previously gone to Qingzhou to rescue thousands of girls, after she succeeded as the Minister of Revenue, the lives of the people had also improved, and Chu Chenning's reputation, which had originally plummeted to the bottom, had already been reversed.

After entering Shengjing, both sides of the street were crowded with people early in the morning. Young men from various families were waiting early in the teahouses along the road, and even the second floor was full.

When they saw the girl in a bright red robe riding a horse from afar, everyone knew it was His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. The young men threw the sachets and handkerchiefs they had prepared long ago at Chu Chenning. Even the Crown Princess Chu Chenyue who was standing next to her was accidentally injured several times.

"Xiao Liu, you should think about how to explain this to King Qin."

As they were talking, Crown Princess Chu Chenyue had already ridden her horse and led Empress Feng Jun's carriage forward.

"Tsk." Chu Chenning raised his arm to block the sachet that was thrown at him, "I shouldn't have made such a big scene if I had known."

"Your Highness..." Fu Ying's voice sounded behind her, with a hint of discomfort in it. These young men had very strong hands, and she was also hit, but she still tried her best to help Chu Chenning knock down those sachets.

"I heard from Sister Fulin that King Qin doesn't look well... otherwise..." Fu Ying was interrupted by Chu Chenning before she could finish her words.

Chu Chenning turned his horse around while giving the order, "Fuying, escort my mother and father to the palace first, I will follow later."

Rong Yunqiu sat quietly in the carriage, hearing the voices of the young men shouting for Chu Chenning, but he was not annoyed.

Fulin looked into the carriage through the veil and felt that King Qin was unhappy, so she sent someone to pass a message to Chu Chenning.

Chu Chenning turned his horse around and walked to the back of the team. The young man who had just thrown away the sachet and handkerchief shouted again, "Your Highness the Prince of Qin!"

"Lord Qin, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is here." Fulin knocked gently on the carriage door.

Upon hearing this, Rong Yunqi lifted the carriage curtain and saw Chu Chenning with a sullen look on his face hitting the sachet thrown at him with a horsewhip.

The sun was shining brightly on her body, as if she was covered with a golden gauze, delicately outlining a hazy outline. Her black hair, blown by the wind, sparkled with golden light under the sun.

Chu Chenning seemed to sense his gaze and turned around, and their eyes met.

"Are you okay?"

Rong Yunqi shook his head, "Your Highness looks very unwell."

"Not really, I'm just afraid you'd be angry." Chu Chenning used the whip to pick up the handkerchief that fell on the horse's back, "Can I get in the carriage to accompany you?"

The headband Chu Chenning wore today was quite simple, with only a little embroidery and pearls as embellishment.

Seeing a few flower petals in her hair, Rong Yunjie's eyes fell on those petals. He did not immediately respond to her words, but his hand involuntarily reached out to her hair.

"what happened?"

"The petals have fallen."

"Then help me get it."
