The wheels of the cart rolled smoothly to the ground and slowly entered the city.
The three carriages coming from the south were surrounded by nearly a thousand people escorting them. Even the Jin Yiwei, who has an increasingly fierce reputation in the current dynasty, was accompanied by hundreds of people holding ceremonial guards.
The military academy guarding the city gate was a wise man. He led people to the city gate and stood aside to greet them, and they all received a reward for this.
The Empress of the Tang Dynasty and her two noble concubines also came to this side city.
The news spread like wildfire, spreading into Youzhou City like waves. The people of the Tang Dynasty who had relocated and settled into the city during these days naturally began to gather here enthusiastically.
She is as noble as a queen who is a thousand years old, and as noble as the emperor's beloved concubine, but she would actually come to this bitter, cold and distant border town?
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has indeed been rarely heard of...
In the carriage, Chi Meng secretly lowered the curtains and stuck out his tongue in surprise.
"Sister Queen was only rewarded with a small amount of money, and she didn't even show her face. She was welcomed by so many people. The people of Youyan are so enthusiastic—"
Ba Ge, who was sitting next to her, was very well-behaved. At this time, he was holding a book of poems from the early Tang Dynasty in his hand and was trying his best to taste it. After hearing Chi Meng's voice, he smiled and interjected:
"Our Majesty is kind and virtuous, and the people naturally respect us very much. What's more, the Queen's mother-in-law is respected by the world, and her virtuous name is spread all over the world. Although this land of Youyan is a little far away, it is still within the territory of our Tang Dynasty, isn't it?"
Perhaps he had been in the palace for a long time, and Bago now had a somewhat gentle temperament. As he spoke, he looked towards the smiling empress in the middle.
Everyone can tell that Bago has some intention to please the empress.
The empress changed into a scarlet red cross-collar uniform. She sat upright for a moment, gently caressed her bulging belly with one hand, and smiled.
"Concubine De is right. The people's respect for us comes from Your Majesty. Your Majesty is benevolent and has always cared for his people. When we leave the palace, we are his other face. We need to think more about it when we act. , you can’t be so casual in the palace.”
Chi Meng chuckled: "Don't listen to the queen sister -"
The empress smiled gently, her hand subconsciously touched her belly, and her eyes became softer.
On the other side of the carriage, Ji Ruxue sat with her hands folded across her chest.
She is now the empress's personal maid, and several saints from Huanyinfang have stayed in Luoyang Palace. When the empress travels, she naturally has to accompany her.
Originally, there should only be two people in this carriage, she and the Empress, but she never expected to get halfway there. Chi Meng shouted that she was bored and pulled Ba Ge here...
Listening to the hustle and bustle outside, the cool girl with long hair that already reached her waist thought further.
The world is getting better and better...

Outside the palace, in the middle of the corridor, Li Jing was walking in a hurry.
He walked quickly while constantly asking Zhong Xiaokui, who was following closely beside him.
"You didn't say it would arrive in the next two days, why is it so early?"
"It stands to reason that this is true, but the team has to travel a lot more every day..."
Li Jing was a little angry: "The queen is pregnant now, and she is the most unbearable. Who on duty can be so bold! Isn't it just a matter of Mobei submitting credentials? I just asked Mobei to wait. Who allowed them to leave?"
Zhong Xiaokui paused for a moment: "It was the queen's request..."
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly.
"Then I must punish her well."
Behind him, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs lined up, and the ministers followed behind him, somewhat surprised.
I've never seen him care so much about anyone...
She walked gracefully, while trying to figure out the queen's appearance and temperament in her mind, she glanced at Yelu Zhiwu, who had been silent next to her.
It seems that the situation has changed again...
…
Li Jing's pace was very fast, and the whole team was also very fast. When they arrived at the palace gate, the carriage stopped slowly outside the palace gate.
Li Jing paused and saw Ji Ruxue getting off the carriage first from afar.
When he turned around, he saw Jiangchen who was blinking with peach blossom eyes, and Yelu Zhiwu who looked heroic but was extremely innocent.
Since going north, he has only taken in two women - oh no, he only slept with one, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
After his guilty thoughts were constantly persuaded by himself, he gradually became more confident.
He came over.
"Little pot pot——"
Chi Meng, who had not seen him for several months, was very happy. The moment she saw Li Jing, she forgot what the empress had told her.
The empress who had just got off the carriage was a little helpless, but she just smiled fondly, then stroked her belly and looked up at Li Jing, who was hurried over.
Bago stood behind the empress. When he saw that handsome figure from a distance, he felt that his legs were a little weak.
The three women each had different ideas, but they were all truly happy.
until--
"Jiangchen, I have met the Queen, Concubine Shu, and Concubine De——"
"Well... Yelu Zhiwu has met the queen, concubine Shu, and concubine De——"
The atmosphere visibly solidified.
The surrendered minister's extremely elegant bow was indeed standard court etiquette. His expression was delicate and pitiful.
Yelu Zhiwu had learned etiquette before, but she forgot about it this time. She just cupped her hands and lowered her head.
At this time, the empress' gentle voice came over.
"You two, please get up. We are all family members. Please don't be so polite from now on."
"Thank you Queen——"
Jiangchen raised his head, his peach blossom eyes met the pair of phoenix eyes, and then turned away.
Yelv Zhiwu had no other thoughts at all. She only felt that there was a large crowd of people around her, so she subconsciously shrank to Li Jing's side.
Chi Meng's face, which was already a little unhappy, became even more unhappy.
Bage, on the other hand, looked at Yelu Zhiwu with great interest.
She is now the real representative of the Shatuo clan, and hundreds of her clan members have appeared since Li Keyong was destroyed.
Several women have different looks, but overall, they are quite harmonious...
Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.
He laughed, took off his cloak and put it on the empress.
"The Northland is not as cold as Luoyang, and it is much colder than Taiyuan. I heard that you had people rush your trip, but you didn't care about your health. I feel very sad for you!"
The empress was very gentle and straightened Li Jing's collar.
"Your Majesty is away on an expedition and has been working hard in the army, so he has lost weight..."
Next to him, Chi Meng, who had a slumped face, suddenly turned around, his big eyes filled with distress.
Li Jing laughed dryly. He actually felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Holding the empress's hand, he looked at the girls with a smile.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about it in the palace if we have anything to say."
The eunuch accompanying him had already prepared his chariot.
The empress suddenly held his hand, and then whispered: "We can walk in, okay?"
Li Jing was stunned, then said with a hearty smile: "Of course, come on, let's just take it for a walk."
Chi Meng puffed up her face and saw Li Jing's big hand suddenly coming over and holding her.
"Let's go, let me show you the scenery of Youzhou City."
There was a hint of joy in her heart, but she still puffed up her face and dug into his palm with her fingertips.
Jiangchen's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a little inexplicable when he saw the empress holding Li Jing's hand.
Li Jing walked into the palace with the six girls without changing his expression.
It seems that it would be better for this kind of scene to happen less frequently in the future.
Having more women is not a good thing...
