The winter solstice is approaching, and the cold wind is howling.
On the streets, the cries of vendors continued unabated.
Fu Yuanxiao looked at the busy streets, and there was no change at all because of her departure.
The mood of leaving and returning are completely different.
Xiao Ji saw that half of Fu Yuanxiao's body was almost leaning out of the carriage. He didn't know what attracted her to the street and kept her attention for so long.
"Xiao'er, what are you looking at?"
Fu Yuanxiao looked away and looked at Xiao Ji with a smile, "The street is very lively. When you are done, let's go for a stroll."
Xiao Ji has been away for too long this time, and he really has a lot to do when he comes back.
She didn't expect that she would mention waiting for him to finish his work before accompanying her.
"good."
The news of Xiao Ji's return has already reached Prince Yu's mansion, and the housekeeper has begun to prepare to welcome the prince back.
Huanyu ran into the house after hearing the news and saw Tang Wanqing sitting on the couch. She was holding a book in her hand but looking out the window, wearing only thin clothes.
She picked up the blanket nearby and covered Tang Wanqing, "Girl, the prince is back."
Tang Wanqing's originally empty eyes had a glimmer of light, "Will he really come?"
Xiao suddenly left for seven months.
There are rumors that Xiao Ji is looking for the missing princess.
I haven’t seen him for seven months, and I don’t know how Xiao Ji is doing.
"Huan Yu, you dress up for me."
Seeing that Tang Wanqing had regained her energy, Huan Yu also became happy and said, "Okay, I will help the girl dress up right now."
The carriage stopped steadily at the entrance of the palace, and the coachman took off the horse stool and placed it next to the carriage.
Xu Yan opened the car door immediately and waited for the prince to come out.
Xiao Ji came out first, then stood aside and saw Fu Yuanxiao coming out and reached out to help her.
Fu Yuanxiao saw that the hand handed over seemed no different from before.
She put her hand in his and let him help her get out of the carriage.
The housekeeper led a group of people from the palace and came forward to salute the prince.
"We sincerely welcome the return of the prince and princess."
When Xiao Ji passed by the butler, he ordered: "This king is happy to have a son. Please prepare the banquet carefully and make it a grand event."
When the butler heard that the prince was happy to have a son, his eyebrows suddenly curled up with joy, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, I will go and do it now."
Xiao Ji led Fu Yuanxiao into the palace with expectant eyes.
Baozhu hugged the young prince and followed closely.
After watching the prince and princess walk in, the housekeeper happily went to prepare a banquet.
Fu Yuanxiao looked at the furnishings in the palace, which were no different from when he left. It was just that he felt a little strange after being away for more than half a year.
Chu Yuwan is cleaned every day, and the flowers, plants and trees are also well taken care of.
Fu Yuanxiao walked on the bluestone tiles and looked at the place where he had lived for more than a year.
Xiao Ji hasn't seen Chu Yuwan for more than half a year, but he has asked that the place be cleaned every day, and it looks very clean.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Fu Yuanxiao, "The servants here are still the same people. If there is anyone you don't like, you can replace them."
"No need to change." Fu Yuanxiao is still familiar with the previous servants, and she brought most of them from the Fu family. Before leaving, she paid them to send them away. Just now she saw that a few people did not leave.
Since it's not gone, there's no need to replace it.
The baby didn't know if he sensed a strange place. He woke up as soon as he got off the carriage and hummed from time to time, just to avoid being noticed.
Fu Yuanxiao looked at his son with a pair of dark eyes open, looking left and right like a leader inspecting. If he was not satisfied, he would cry twice to express his protest.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Ji, "You go ahead and get busy."
Xiao Ji's eyes moved from his son to Fu Yuanxiao. There were indeed many things to deal with when he came back.
"Then I will come back later to have dinner with you."
Fu Yuanxiao nodded, "Yeah."
Xiao Ji glanced at Fu Yuanxiao, then turned and left.
After Tang Wanqing dressed up, she walked out of Jingshu Courtyard accompanied by her maid. Along the way, she saw lanterns and colorful decorations in the mansion, as if it was a happy event.
"Huan Yu, go and ask, what's going on?"
"It's a girl." Huan Yu walked up to the servant who was installing the red silk, "Hanging the red silk, is there any happy event in the house?"
The servant said with a smile on his face: "The prince is pleased to have a son. Of course it is a happy event. We are going to have a big banquet."
Huan Yu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and asked again in disbelief, "You said the prince has a son? Why didn't I hear that the lady was pregnant?"
"How can this be false? The prince said it himself, and I even saw it. It was Bao Zhu holding the young prince." The servant said seriously.
The more Huanyu listened, the more confused she became, "Baozhu? Isn't that the maid next to the princess? Why is she back?"
"When the princess comes back, the orb will naturally come back." The servant took it as a matter of course.
When Huan Yu heard that the princess was back, her face was a little ugly, and she came back with doubts, "Girl, I heard that the princess is back."
Tang Wanqing was surprised when she heard this, "The princess is back? Why did she come back so suddenly?"
Fu Yuanxiao had been missing for so long, she thought she would never come back.
Xiao Ji has been searching for so long but there is no news.
But came back.
"Girl, I heard that the prince is pleased to have a young prince and is planning to hold a grand banquet."
Tang Wanqing had not yet recovered from her surprise, "How is this possible? How could there be a child? Where did the child come from?"
Huan Yu thought for a while and reminded: "Could it be the princess's? Counting the days, it coincides with the time when the prince stayed at the princess's place."
Tang Wanqing thought that that night, Xiao Ji went to Fu Yuanxiao's place to stay overnight, and the time was indeed right.
How is it possible, just once?
"Let's go take a look."
"Um."
Tang Wan came to Chu Yuwan accompanied by Huan Yu. She raised her head and glanced at the plaque above her head. She had not been here since Fu Yuanxiao left.
I didn't expect that Fu would come back one day.
Tang Wanqing withdrew her gaze and stepped into Chu Yuwan holding up her skirt.
Fu Yuanxiao was teasing his son with a rattle when Baozhu suddenly walked in from outside.
"Girl, Concubine Tang is here."
Fu Yuanxiao's eyes paused when she heard this, and when she decided to come back, she knew she would face the women in the house.
She said calmly: "Let Concubine Tang come in."
"Yes, girl." Baozhu responded and walked out.
After a while, Tang Wanqing walked in slowly, raised her head and looked at Fu Yuanxiao on the couch.
I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and she seems to have changed little, except that she lost a lot of weight before.
She caught a glimpse of a small wooden bed next to the couch, which confirmed Huan Yu's words.
Fu Yuanxiao and Xiao Ji have a child.
Tang Wanqing concealed her emotions and stepped forward to greet her, "Princess."
Fu Yuanxiao held the small wooden bed with one hand and a rattle with the other, looking at her slightly sideways.
"Concubine Tang, get up."
"Thank you, Princess."
Tang Wanqing stood up slowly and looked up at Fu Yuanxiao, "The princess has finally returned after missing for so long. It's such a happy event."
Good night, babies!
