Chapter 173 Returning to Dragon City, the Princess Welcomes You

The fief of the King of Jin, Longcheng.

The news that King of Jin Chen Huaian will return to the King of Jin’s mansion today and celebrate the birthday of his mother Xu Ruoyun with the civil and military officials who stayed in the fiefdom had already been passed back to the King of Jin’s mansion a few days ago.

Although Chen Huaian repeatedly emphasized that he would travel light when returning to the fiefdom of Longcheng, and asked the family members of the King’s mansion and the soldiers of the Longcheng garrison not to hold any grand welcoming ceremony.

However, the family members of the King of Jin’s mansion still got up early in the morning to wash and dress up, and went to the Yongding Gate of Longcheng to welcome the return of the head of the family, Chen Huaian.

It is worth mentioning that there are a total of four key figures from different camps who went to Yongding Gate to welcome the return of the head of the family.

First, of course, it was the Jin Wang Mansion family, headed by the Jin Wang Mansion’s Concubine Xu Ruoyun and the young prince Chen Longxiang;

Second, it was the general Wang Jian who was ordered to garrison the Longcheng Jingnan Army’s base camp, and a group of Po Lu Army generals;

Third, it was more interesting, it was a group of people mainly composed of former civil officials and former generals of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun in the Great Xin Dynasty, represented by Wuning King Liu Xinwu and Princess Shujun Liu Shujun who had a marriage contract with Chen Huaian;

Fourth, of course, it was Princess Pijia Yue Qiluo who traveled thousands of miles from the capital of the Western Region Huihe Khanate, Harabalegas, to the Central Plains, and the envoys and representatives of the 36 Western Regions stationed in the Jin Wang’s fiefdom.

At a glance, the welcoming group to welcome Jin Wang Chen Huaian back from the southern expedition was extremely powerful and luxurious.

Behind each group of people, there was a force that could influence the current situation.

The atmosphere outside Yongding Gate was also a little weird and awkward.

Only the naughty little prince Chen Longxiang tilted his head and grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, and had a lot of fun running around.

Xu Ruoyun, the dowager of the Jin Palace, was wearing a graceful and elegant bright yellow dress, standing in the middle of the crowd like a star holding the moon.

On the left of Xu Ruoyun was Princess Yue Qiluo of Pijia, who had come from afar to "find her husband";

She was wearing a heroic red riding suit, and her typical exotic beauty's appearance and skin color made Yue Qiluo stand out among the crowd welcoming the emperor.

On the right of Xu Ruoyun was Princess Liu Shujun of Shujun, who had already "secretly fallen in love" with Chen Huaian;

She was wearing a pure white long dress with a fairy-like aura, and her gentle and introverted temperament was also unique among the crowd welcoming the emperor.

In such an important occasion, Xu Ruoyun, the mother of the King of Jin, naturally showed an impartial attitude towards the two daughters-in-law.

But the naughty little prince Chen Longxiang didn't care about that. He tilted his head and grinned, showing a neat white tooth, running and staying between Yue Qiluo and Liu Shujun, having a lot of fun.

"Longxiang, don't be rude!"

Finally, Xu Ruoyun frowned slightly and scolded Chen Longxiang who was running and playing: "How can you behave in public? Be careful not to bump into the two princess sisters!"

Hehe!

Chen Longxiang grinned and made a face and replied: "Mother, I won't, I just want to take a good look at the two sisters-in-law, hehe!"

As he said that, Chen Longxiang started jumping up and down like a monkey, and made faces at Yue Qiluo and Liu Shujun from time to time.

However, the young prince of Jinwang Mansion, who was usually fearless, kicked on the iron plate today.

Liu Shujun, who was gentle and introverted, looked at Chen Longxiang with tenderness and pampering when facing his grimace "provocation", as if he really regarded him as his naughty brother at home.

However, Yue Qiluo, who grew up on horseback since childhood and didn't like red dresses but loved weapons, didn't spoil the young prince of Jinwang Mansion.

When Chen Longxiang tilted his head and grinned, and once again approached Yue Qiluo, Yue Qiluo raised her hand and grabbed Chen Longxiang's protruding ears without hesitation;

Hiss——

"Ah, sister-in-law, it hurts, it hurts!"

Chen Longxiang, whose ears were grabbed, grimaced in pain, and the seemingly fragile little body subconsciously turned in the direction of Yue Qiluo's twisting ears.

He kept begging for mercy, saying, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I won't do it again. I'll twist your ears again and you'll twist them off!"

Hmph!

Yue Qiluo snorted coldly and said, "Longxiang, I'm teaching you a lesson on behalf of your brother. Let's see if you will still listen to your mother in the future!"

"Listen, listen, listen——"

Chen Longxiang never thought that this sister-in-law from the Western Regions would dare to beat him up in public.

Moreover, she caught Chen Longxiang's weakness as soon as she attacked.

That's right, the old monk Dongfang Xiao in the black robe said that he was the little prince who had come to the mortal world to experience the tribulation of the Golden Winged Dapeng Eagle from the upper realm. Although his arms were as powerful as the four elephants,

but there was also a place that was his weak spot, that is, a pair of protruding ears on his head.

The protruding ears were grabbed by Yue Qiluo, and even if he had the power of the four elephants, he couldn't use even a little bit of the power of the ten thousand men!

Besides, even if Chen Longxiang had the courage, he wouldn't dare to attack his sister-in-law!

Otherwise, when his brother Chen Huaian returns, he will be hung on the century-old locust tree in the palace courtyard and beaten!

Seeing the naughty Chen Longxiang admit his mistake, Yue Qiluo did not continue to embarrass him, but loosened the hand that was pulling Chen Longxiang's ear.

The latter immediately hid behind his mother Xu Ruoyun as if he had been pardoned, and never dared to tilt his head and grin and make strange movements again.

Humph!

Seeing this, Yue Qiluo raised her head with a proud face, like a general who had won a great victory and returned to the court.

She didn't notice at all that the eyes of the concubine Xu Ruoyun, Wuning Wang Liu Xinwu, general Wang Jian, and the civil and military officials of the Jin Wang's fiefdom all looked at her with complicated and intriguing expressions.

Even the person involved, Chen Longxiang, was secretly muttering in his heart that if his elder brother returned home this time and brought his sister-in-law from the Western Regions back home, his happy time of climbing trees to pick birds and fishing in rivers in the future would probably be gone forever!

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin has arrived--"

Just when everyone had been looking forward to it for a long time, a messenger of the Jinwu Guards riding a fast horse finally galloped over and loudly informed everyone of the news that the King of Jin had arrived in Longcheng.

Sure enough, a moment after the messenger reported, a small group of cavalry appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The King of Jin, Chen Huaian, dressed in casual clothes, rode his yellow horse and rushed to the front of this small group of cavalry.

Go!

Go!

Go!

Chen Huaian kept giving orders to the yellow horse, asking it to speed up again and again.

But when Chen Huaian raised his eyes and looked at Yue Qiluo and Liu Shujun standing beside his mother Xu Ruoyun, he subconsciously shouted to the yellow horse: "Whoa-"

What was supposed to come finally came!
