Chapter 144
"Ding..."
At noon.
A melodious and ancient bell suddenly sounded from the high building of the City Lord's Mansion in the center of Mo City.
Then, the whole Mo City was in an uproar.
The Princess is finally here!
Inner and outer cities, the streets and alleys were already filled with people who had heard the news.
Meng Jinnan, the City Lord of Mo City, had already been waiting on the road outside the city with a group of nobles from Mo City.
On the top of the city wall of Mo City, the soldiers were wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, solemn and dignified.
Outside the city gate, colorful flags were fluttering, and the voices were silent.
Not long after.
On the road not far ahead, dust was flying, and a team of silver-armored cavalry came first.
When they came close to Meng Jinnan and others, no one dismounted, but dispersed and walked slowly around the crowd outside the city.
The cold and sharp eyes on the horse began to scan the crowd one by one.
Everyone who was swept by the eyes of these silver-armored cavalry couldn't help but feel cold all over.
Even warriors felt a chill down their spines.
Hundreds of people outside the city were all silent.
After a while.
The sound of hooves was like thunder, rumbling.
From far to near.
Everyone immediately held their breath and looked intently.
The figure wearing red armor and riding a flaming horse finally appeared on the road ahead.
Behind her, hundreds of cavalrymen wearing silver armor and holding silver spears followed her and rushed towards her.
Before they got close, a terrifying momentum that only existed on the killing field rushed towards everyone.
Some people couldn't help but feel their legs go weak.
Many people trembled in their hearts, and their eyes were even stung. They quickly lowered their heads and dared not look again.
Soon, the eldest princess Nangong Huoyue came to the nearby area with the cavalry.
Meng Jinnan, the lord of Mo City, and other nobles all stepped forward, bowed their heads, and bowed their hands.
The nobles on both sides of the road all followed suit and paid homage.
Not to mention them, even the princes and ministers in Kyoto had to bow their heads and pay homage to this person.
Not long after.
Meng Jinnan rode on a horse, accompanied the eldest princess, and followed a horse head behind. Surrounded by the crowd, they entered the city in a mighty manner.
Behind the eldest princess, there were only twenty female guards following into the city.
The hundreds of cavalrymen camped outside the city and waited.
The soldiers in the city came to deliver food and daily necessities every day.
The streets outside were crowded with dense crowds.
But on both sides of the street, there were Mocheng soldiers forming a human wall to block them, in case someone was blind and suddenly bumped into the eldest princess.
Nangong Huoyue rode a horse with hair like flames. She rarely spoke along the way, and her eyes were watching the streets and people in the city.
Meng Jinnan, the Lord of Mocheng, who was accompanying her, observed her expression from time to time.
When walking on the long bridge leading to the inner city, Nangong Huoyue stopped her horse, turned her head and looked at him and said, "Lord Jiang, the people in the outer city don't seem to be living well."
Meng Jinnan's back was sweating, and he didn't dare to argue. He bowed his head and apologized, "Yes, it's my fault. I will do my best to improve the lives of the people in the outer city in the future, and I will never disappoint the princess's expectations."
Nangong Huoyue turned his head again and glanced at the nobles who were wearing silk and satin and had rosy faces not far behind him. He said lightly, "The great ancestor was kind and generous, and conferred many meritorious titles. Some nobles have been sitting in office for generations, making no achievements, and have no benefit to the country or the people, but they still have fine clothes and food, no worries about food and drink, and enjoy luxury. Lord Jiang, do you think this is appropriate?"
Meng Jinnan bowed his head, sweating on his forehead, and didn't dare to answer.
This was a statement related to national policy. Neither the previous emperor nor the current emperor had handled it properly. The court had caused several bloody storms over this matter. How could he dare to interrupt?
Only the princess dared to speak out in public.
Nangong Huoyue did not say anything more and continued to move forward.
The inner city was even more lively.
In the streets and alleys, people were shoulder to shoulder, bustling and hustling, all stretching their necks and looking up at the city gate.
When they saw the tall and majestic figure in red armor and the fiery horse under her crotch, the crowd suddenly boiled and shouted excitedly: "Princess! Princess!"
Many people cried excitedly.
Nangong Huoyue just glanced at it lightly and continued to move forward.
People followed her excitedly, forming a torrent, rushing towards the city lord's mansion with great momentum.
To the east of the City Lord's Mansion, there is a mansion built specifically for the eldest princess. It is usually guarded by people and no one dares to enter.
Meng Jinnan built many new scenes inside. At the same time, the entire City Lord's Mansion was vacated, and all the people inside moved out and moved to the mansion next to it for temporary residence.
Until Nangong Huoyue entered the City Lord's Mansion, the crowd on the street outside was still gathered there, reluctant to disperse, and many people were still excitedly shouting "Eldest Princess".
For a while, the whole city was bustling with people.
In the afternoon.
The government received Meng Jinnan's order and began to open the granary to help the poor.
On the streets of the outer city and the inner city, the market has been opened and it is very lively.
Many people are immersed in this joyful and lively atmosphere.
But the Qin Mansion is still as calm as before.
Except for Qin Wenzheng, the head of the Qin family, who took the elders of the Qin family to the City Lord's Mansion to pay homage, others still do what they should do.
Only some maids and servants who had nothing to do today went to the streets to join in the fun and watch the procession of the eldest princess entering the city.
In the study.
Miss Qin Er was sitting at the desk, still busy.
Her face was still pale and sickly, but her spirits seemed much better. She only coughed a few times throughout the day, and she did not cough up any more blood.
Qiu'er and Zhu'er were both standing outside.
The study window and door are closed.
No one can come in without her order.
Except for someone, of course.
The first time the night before yesterday and the second time last night, someone sneaked in through the window in the dead of night and gave her medicine.
Although the two of them didn't do anything and even said a few words, she was already very satisfied and happy.
When he was with her last night, she couldn't help but ask: "Brother-in-law, will you come to accompany Wei Mo every night from now on?"
He replied seriously: "Not every night, sometimes I have to accompany your sister."
Thinking of his answer at that time, Miss Qin couldn't help laughing.
Because she knew that her brother-in-law was lying to her, and her sister would not let him accompany her.
In the past two days, she felt that her mood and body were much better.
He not only gave her warmth, but also gave her the strength and hope to live.
It would be great if it could continue like this.
The girl thought sweetly for a while, then lowered her head and started writing seriously.
During the day these two days.
Luo Qingzhou didn't go anywhere. He went to the secret channel at the bottom of the lake to practice early in the morning.
Today, everyone went out to watch the fun, but he still hid underground and practiced silently until evening, when he returned to the small courtyard.
The Qin Mansion seemed to have suddenly become deserted.
When Xiaodie came back with dinner, she told him: "The master, his wife, and the second young lady all went to the city lord's mansion to attend the eldest princess's dinner party. By the way, the second young master also went. In the afternoon, sister Qiu'er also told My maid, I asked my maid to comfort the young master when he comes back. He said that each family invites only a limited number of guests, so that’s why I didn’t bring the young master with me.”
After hearing this, Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but smile and said: "Miss Qiu'er can comfort people. In fact, even if they take me there, I probably won't be able to get in. After all, my identity is here. But it doesn't matter, I don't think about it. I'm going to join in the fun."
Xiaodie hugged his arm, pressed her cheek against his arm and said softly: "Master, no matter what others think of you, in my heart, you will always be the best. No one can compare with you."
Luo Qingzhou stroked her head and said, "Okay, let's eat. Call Bai Ling and Xia Chan later, and we'll go shopping. The young master will give you candied haws to eat and buy you some small gifts." "
Xiaodie immediately raised her little face and said happily: "Master, I want to eat three bunches of candied haws tonight. I also want a bracelet, okay?"
Luo Qingzhou smiled, squatted down, pointed at his cheek and said, "Kiss three times."
The little girl smiled, immediately pursed her lips, kissed him three times on the cheek, and said with a sweet smile: "Master, that's enough. Can you buy it for me?"
Luo Qingzhou picked her up, lifted her petite and exquisite body from the ground, kissed her little mouth a few times, and said, "Xiaodie, I want to ask you a question."
Xiaodie blinked her curved eyelashes and said shyly, "Yeah."
Luo Qingzhou said: "If one day, I suddenly don't want the eldest lady, and then..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiaodie suddenly opened her eyes wide, her expression changed and she said, "Sir, stop talking."
Luo Qingzhou smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, there are only two of us here. I just want to know, if I divorce the eldest lady and get married to someone else, will you look down on the young master? Ah, little girl, pinch me What are you doing?"
Luo Qingzhou raised his hand and was about to pinch her bulging vagina, but suddenly found that the little girl's expression was wrong.
He suddenly froze, then slowly turned his head and looked at the door of the small courtyard.
Bai Ling was leaning against the door frame in a pink dress, holding a freshly folded flower in her hand, looking at him with a half-smile expression on her face.
Outside the door, Xia Chan stood there with a cold face and her sword in her arms, staring at him with cold eyes.
"Sir..."
The little girl in his arms had an ugly face and was even more scared than him.
What should I do if the young master’s words spread out just now and he is suddenly kicked out by the eldest lady?
How could the young master suddenly say such words?
Luo Qingzhou paused, put her down from his arms, turned around, looked at the two girls at the door, and his expression quickly returned to calm: "Wait a moment, we haven't eaten yet."
Bai Ling shrugged, turned around and walked out the door. He said to the cold girl outside the door: "Let's go, Chanchan. My uncle is already planning to divorce our young lady, and he probably won't be willing to go shopping with us. We'd better go alone. "
Xia Chan still stood outside the door, motionless.
After a long time, she finally said: "He is... the bride-in-law."
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Yes, my uncle is a married woman. Only our young lady can divorce him, so he has no right to divorce our young lady!"
Then she suddenly turned around, walked in angrily and snorted: "Uncle, you are dead. Let our lady punish you tonight in bed!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the girl outside the door and said, "Chanchan, what do you think, should I be punished?"
Xia Chan said nothing.
