"Yuan Ding, do you really want to leave Luoyang early?" Qin Qiong asked in surprise.

Although the Heroes Association is over, there is no news on the Ministry of War. There is news that the Ministry of War is considering appointing a warrior who performs well in the Heroes Association, which has prevented most of the warriors from leaving Luoyang and waiting patiently for the Ministry of War's plan. Qin Qiong is no exception. Although he is already a general of the Xiongwu, there is little possibility of climbing up again, but he hopes that Qin Yong will enter the official career from this.

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Anyway, I don't expect the Ministry of War to give me any other official position, so it doesn't make sense to stay there any longer. Moreover, I have been away from Beihai County for too long, so I miss you a little. Don't Shubao want to go back together?"

Qin Qiong smiled bitterly, "Of course I want to go back and see my family. I just want to find a job for Qiaolang and I have to stay. It's okay, Yuan Ding will send me a letter to me when he goes back."

"No problem, I will leave a letter to Dashuai. Please pass it on to me."

Zhang Xutuo is not in Luoyang these two days and will not be able to come back the day after tomorrow. Zhang Xuan can't wait for him, so he can only leave him a letter.

Qin Qiong nodded and asked again: "When are you going to leave?"

"Let's go tomorrow! We'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Will Shixin go with you too?"

Zhang Xuan was silent for a moment and nodded, "I asked him to go with Shubao, but he refused, why didn't Shubao tell him again."

Qin Qiong knows Luo Shixin very well. Although he usually laughs and laughs, he has never been through it. However, once he decides something, the nine-headed cow can't be brought back. This really disappoints Qin Qiong. Luo Shixin refuses to stay and follow him, which shows that in his heart, Zhang Xuan is more important than himself.

Qin Qiong had no choice but to force a smile. "Then I wish you a good journey!"

"Shubao also takes care of himself!"

Zhang Xuan patted Qin Qiong's arm, stood up and said goodbye. Qin Qiong looked at Zhang Xuan walking away, and suddenly felt an indescribable loss in his heart.

The next morning, several gorgeous carriages appeared in front of the gate of the Lu Mansion, and dozens of guards were closely guarding them. This was the arrival of Princess Guangling's carriage, which immediately alarmed the Lu Mansion. Someone had already rushed to report to Mrs. Lu.

At this time, Mrs. Lu was planning the details of her daughter's marriage in the inner hall. Yesterday, the matchmaker came to propose marriage. Of course, she agreed to discuss the marriage immediately. Tomorrow, the Cui family will officially come to propose marriage and send a gift from the wild geese. This is Na Cai. Once the Lu family accepts the gift from the geese, it means that the name of the marriage has been decided.

The next step is to start the formal process, and it is not until the man finally got married at the Qinglu family. Even if his daughter got married, Mrs. Lu had a big worry.

Although her husband is not in the mansion, she has already agreed to this marriage, so she can finish the early etiquette and get married after her husband comes back in the end.

Mrs. Lu was a little anxious. Too many things needed to be done by her. She had no help, which made her a little difficult to deal with. Although she had a capable butler, Ma Youpo was a servant after all, and she could not do some things, otherwise she would be laughed at. It would be better for an uncle and sister-in-law to help her. At this time, Mrs. Lu suddenly thought of Lu Chu's wife. She had come to her place two days ago as a guest. Wouldn't it be just right to ask her to help?

Mrs. Lu hurriedly wanted to write a letter, and at this moment, the female housekeeper Ma Youpo ran in and said in panic: "Madam, the father-in-law is coming down."

Mrs. Lu was stunned, "What princess?"

"Princess Guangling is here and I want to see my wife."

Mrs. Lu was shocked. She also knew that Princess Guangling was the youngest daughter of the current emperor and had a high status. How could she come to Lu's Mansion?

Before Mrs. Lu could think about it carefully, she quickly shouted to Ma Youpo, "Go and get me the official patronage!"

Lu Zhuo was named the priest of the Imperial College, and Mrs. Lu also received the fourth-rank imperial edict. When His Royal Highness arrived, she had to greet him with a righteous etiquette. After a while, she put on her court clothes, wore a green crown on her head, and brought a large group of maids and women to greet her.

In front of the main hall, the housekeeper had already laid a red carpet and set up a table of incense. The old eunuch Zhu Cheng smiled and said, "There is no need to be so grand. This is not an official visit, it is just a little private matter, you can do it casually."

Having said that, the housekeeper drove all the servants away and prevented them from showing up. At this time, a sound of pendants sounded, and Mrs. Lu hurriedly walked out of the inner house.

Yang Jier walked into the mansion accompanied by several palace maids. Mrs. Lu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "My wife, Lu, met the princess, and didn't know that the princess was coming to welcome Buzhou. Please forgive me for your crime!"

Yang Jier waved her hand impatiently, "I'm just here to visit Sister Lu Qing, why should my wife give such a big gift?"

Mrs. Lu was shocked. His Highness the Princess came to visit her daughter. Why is that?

Yang Jier asked again with a smile: "Where is Sister Lu Qing?"

Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment. She didn't dare to say that her daughter was not here, and hurriedly said, "She is here. Your Highness the Princess asked her to sit in the inner courtyard for a while. I'll send someone to find her."

"No need, I'll wait for her here, madam, hurry up! I'm in a hurry."

Mrs. Lu was puzzled and quickly asked Ma Youpo to find her daughter. Soon, Lu Qing took A Yuan to the front hall quickly. She received Zhang Xuan's letter yesterday and she was ready.

Lu Qing stepped forward and bowed to Yang Ji'er, "Lu Qing meets His Highness the Princess!"

Yang Ji'er stepped forward and held her and smiled, "Sister Lu has so many gifts to do? Didn't we agree to go outing together? Are you free today!"

Lu Qing nodded gently, "I have time today."

Mrs. Lu and the maids and mothers next to him looked at each other, and were a little stunned. When did Lu Qing make an appointment with the princess to go for an outing? Why didn't they know anything?

Mrs. Lu hurriedly said, "Qing'er, what's going on?"

Lu Qing bowed to his mother, "Mother, my daughter met His Royal Highness the Princess in Wei's Mansion in October last year. She had a great chat with her and made an appointment to go outing together this spring. But her daughter didn't expect His Royal Highness the Princess would come today."

Mrs. Lu was stunned when she heard this. She secretly regretted. If she had known that the princess was going to invite her daughter to go outings, she would have refused on the pretext that her daughter was sick. But what should I do now?

"Mother, my daughter will accompany His Highness to go out for a walk and will be back soon."

"This" Mrs. Lu looked embarrassed, but she didn't know what to say?

Yang Jier smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry! My mother only allowed me to go out for a long time. We just went out for a walk and saw the scenery. We would come back before noon."

Mrs. Lu originally wanted to say that her daughter was about to get married, and it was not convenient to go out, but she must not let her daughter know about this matter. She really couldn't make up her mind when weighing the pros and cons of the two sides. At this time, Ma Youpo whispered to her wife: "Madam, just send someone to follow them."

A sentence reminded Mrs. Lu that she could send several generals to follow them from afar, so she would not be afraid of anything happening. Mrs. Lu finally nodded, "Okay! Go early and come back early."

Lu Qing bowed to his mother, "My daughter will go first and will be back soon."

Yang Jier took Lu Qing's hand out of the mansion and got into her carriage. Mrs. Lu hurriedly chased after her, looking at the guards guarding several carriages away. She immediately said anxiously: "Go and find the generals to follow them!"

More than a dozen generals of the Lu family chased after him and finally caught up with the princess's carriage outside the southern city. They did not dare to go forward, but followed him from afar. His princess's carriage drove southward, and dozens of soldiers joined the guard queue.

The carriage walked more than ten miles south and stopped at a beautiful place. The princess got out of the carriage and enjoyed the flowers in front of a few peach trees by the river.

The general of the Lu family felt something was wrong, so why didn’t he see the Qing girl? For the first general, he hurried forward to ask the eunuch: “May I ask, is my Miss Lu here?”

The old eunuch narrowed his eyes, "What are you talking about? What Miss Lu? This is the car of His Highness Princess Guangling, you'd better stay away!"

Several guards rushed up fiercely and drove away the leader of the family. The generals were anxious and shouted loudly: "Miss Qing! Miss Qing!"

No one answered. At this time, the princess got on the carriage again. Everyone could see clearly from a distance. There were only princesses and two palace maids in the carriage. How could they have their ladies?

The generals looked at each other, and one of them said, "Something is wrong, go back and report to your wife first!"

The generals turned their horses and ran back towards Luoyang City. Yang Jier looked at the generals from the back window and walked away, smiling and said, "The mission has been completed, let's go back to the palace too!"

When Mrs. Lu heard that her daughter was missing, and Her Royal Highness the Princess refused to admit her account and saw her daughter, she was stunned. After a while, she suddenly understood something and rushed to her daughter's embroidery room. She rushed into her room and saw a letter on her bed.

Mrs. Lu picked up the letter tremblingly and read it urgently. She felt that the sky was dizzy and suddenly fainted. She was so scared that the maids and mothers shouted: "Madam! Madam!"

"I've been a villain!" Mrs. Lu woke up leisurely, thinking that she could not explain to the Cui family, and thinking that her hard work was overwhelming, she was anxious and regretful, and completely forgot her identity, and she burst into tears.

Ma Youpo next to her was stunned. She had never seen her wife lose her composure like this. She reminded carefully: "Madam, let me tell the master!"

A word reminded Mrs. Lu that she stopped crying immediately, yes! She wanted to write a letter to her husband, and she would write it immediately

Zhang Xuan took Yuchi Gong, Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan to leave the east gate with a carriage and galloped east along the official road. In the carriage, Lu Qing quietly opened the curtain, looked at the blue sky, and the birds flying freely in the sky. She felt extremely happy in her heart. She felt like a bird rushing out of the cage, flying freely to the other side of happiness.

"Young Master, when will we be able to get to Beihai?" A Yuan next to her asked her thoughts for her.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "It's up to five days! I believe we will have a smooth journey."

Everyone accelerated their speed. Gradually, they were getting further and further away from Luoyang City, and finally disappeared from the distance of the official road. (To be continued...)
