Chapter 68 Longing

The sun was shining brightly, and a large convoy on the official road was resting at the post station. There were more than 20 carriages, and there were steps outside. The cavalry was accompanied by guards. Judging from the banner of the ceremonial guard, it was the convoy of the Xiyang Palace.

King Yuwen of Xiyang was a royal family member of the Zhou Kingdom and served as the chief supervisor of Huangzhou in Shannan. He is now leading troops to fight in the smoky land of Lingbiao. Therefore, the convoy of the Xiyang Palace at this time was carrying the family and luggage of the King of Xiyang.

There is a small courtyard in the inn, and in the room, the Princess of Xiyang, Yuwen Weicheng, was having a meal. The Prince of Xiyang, was sitting beside him, chewing slowly like his grandmother.

Two more women were also having a meal on one side of the room. One of them was the daughter-in-law Yuwen. She had a rosy face and a good look, which was much better than before.

Another woman has deep eyes and high noses, and is a friend of the daughter-in-law. Her name is not known to outsiders, but only knows that the Princess of Xiyang is quite caring for her.

After the meal, the three women started chatting. Seeing their son being dumb, Yuchi Chifan, who was a grandmother, knew it clearly: "Jilang, do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Well, the boy wants to go out and have a look."

"Then go out first and don't run around, do you know?"

Yuwen Weicheng bowed to Yuchi Chifan and the Qianjin Princess in turn and left, and walked slowly out the door. He looked orderly, but in fact he was very happy. However, he was not very cunning at the age of young people, and the moment he left the door, he was still able to see the people in the room.

"This child is too playful, which makes my aunt laugh."

"A child of this age is at the age of playfulness. Don't blame him too much."

Yuchi Chifan was a little helpless, and the daughter of the daughter smiled slightly. The performance of the prince of Xiyang reminded her of her younger brother Yuwen Qiankeng. At that time, facing her majestic father, her younger brother was honest, but in fact she was very naughty.

"Aunt, it's not far from Yecheng. The palace has been arranged. When the convoy arrives in the southern suburbs, His Majesty will send someone to pick me up into the palace. At that time..." Yuchi Chifan glanced at the Agnes lady and continued: "Agnes lady will stay somewhere else as promised."

"Oh, the last time I passed by Yecheng, it was more than nine years ago..." Princess Qianjin's tone was a little melancholy, but her face was full of longing. Agnes lowered her head slightly and avoided everyone's gaze. She still had a veil on her face, and she only took it off when she had a meal. The scar on her cheek was still conspicuous.

"Aunt, don't be sad. Isn't you able to reunite with the emperor when you come back this time? I think the emperor is looking forward to it now."

"Um."

The daughter-in-law nodded. She came back this time and went through twists and turns, but she was finally able to meet her brother and stay with her forever. It was God's blessing that she could get what she wanted.

At the beginning of the second year of the Elephant, the Turkic envoy arrived in Chang'an, the capital of Zhou, to prepare for the Khan to marry the princess of Zhou. Yuwen, the daughter of King Yuwenzhao of Zhao, was named the princess of the daughter of King Zhao, and went to Chang'an from King Zhao to choose a day to go to the frontier to marry.

The young Yuwen family set out from the fiefdom and went to Chang'an through Yecheng. Soon after, they married far away from the frontier, and since then they were separated from their relatives. The civil strife that broke out in the Zhou Kingdom really separated her from their relatives.

King Zhao, Yuwen Zhao, his several sons, and more than 50 other members of the Yuwen royal family were killed. The princess of the daughter was only left with her younger brother Yuwen Qiankeng, a relative, and she was heartbroken.

Nine years passed in a blink of an eye. He became the daughter of Turkic Kehedun on the grassland, and returned to the Central Plains for thousands of miles and landed in Fanyu, Guangzhou, to save Wang Yuwen, who led his troops to Fanyu.

Yuwen Wen sent someone to escort the Qianjin Princess north and at the same time reported the matter to the court. The Qianjin Princess lived in the Xiyang Palace in Xiyang, Huangzhou for a while, and finally waited for good news.

The emperor and the prime minister decided to let the Qianjin Princess go to Beijing, and finally entered the palace as a royal girl and appeared in front of everyone, so the Qianjin Princess didn't have to worry about the leakage of her true identity and was taken back to the grassland by the Turkic envoy.

In order to cover up, the Princess Xiyang accompanied the daughter of Princess to Beijing in the name of visiting relatives. Because Princess Xiyang's mother's home is in Yecheng, this move is legitimate and will not attract the attention of the outside world.

This is exactly the same as the wish of the Princess of Xiyang Yuchi Chifan. Firstly, she really wants to visit her relatives. Her parents just finished filial piety and happened to go home to see her relatives. Secondly, since her parents have finished filial piety, her sister's marriage will be done soon.

Last year, the emperor was about to get married, and the future queen was Yuchi Chifan's sister Yuchi Mingyue. However, their grandfather, Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong, suddenly passed away, and the marriage was forced to be interrupted. Because the father of Yuchi sisters, Yuchi Shun, Duke of the Kingdom of Qi, wanted to filial piety for his deceased father, Yuchi Jiong, the marriage could only be postponed until one year later.

This time, Yuchi Chifan entered Beijing, and his sister got married and became the queen of the mother. For such a big thing, it would be best if she, a sister, could be present.

Of course, there is another thing, that is, she happened to meet her younger brother after returning to her parents' home, to be precise, she was her previous cousin.

Yuchi Shun has two daughters who have no children so far. Although he has taken concubines in recent years, there has been no movement. In order to avoid the loss of the incense, he adopted a nephew as his heir.

Yuchi Shun was the third son of former Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong. His eldest brother Yuchi Yi died and left several youngest sons. He could just adopt one of them as his heir and inherit the title of Incense and Duke of the Kingdom of Qi.

This matter has just been handled, so one of Yuchi Chifan's cousins ​​was now her younger brother and would inherit the family business of Duke Kuo in the future. So as an older sister, Yuchi Chifan would of course have to go home and let his baby son meet his grandparents and uncles.

She has given birth to two sons for Yuwen Wen. The second son Yuwen Weiqian is still young and cannot withstand the long-distance bumps. Therefore, this time, Yuchi Chifan still took his eldest son Yuwen Weicheng back to his parents' home, and by the way, he could make it convenient for the princess of the daughter to enter the capital. Everyone was very happy.

However, Yuchi Chifan's mood was a little complicated about Agnes, the Persian lady who followed the daughter princess to Beijing. Yuwen Wen roughly explained Agnes's affairs in his letter home, so she knew that this would be his sister's "enemy".

According to the daughter princess, Agnes was kind to him, so he had to bring this Persian lady to Beijing. But in fact, after entering the capital, Agnes would sooner or later enter the palace because this was a "gift" given to the emperor by the daughter princess.

According to Yuwen Wen, the scar on the Persian lady's face was fake. I'm afraid that the one who appeared in front of the emperor would be a foreign country. In this way, it would be difficult for the newlywed Yuchi Mingyue to share her love with her.

Of course, the sister doesn’t want her sister to be wronged, so Yuchi Chifan was a little complicated when facing Agnes.

But Yuwen Wen specially explained that this matter was very subtle and would cause trouble if she was not careful, so she would not interfere randomly, so Yuchi Chifan could only pretend to think that Agnes was really disfigured.

Although she was in a complicated mood, she did not dare to neglect the reception of Agnes, so as not to be thought by others, especially the daughter-in-law, to vent her anger for her sister. Yuchi Chifan felt that it was speechless to have such a thing even if her husband fought a war.

Fortunately, Agnes wanted to compete for favor with her sister rather than with her. If this Persian lady was Yuwen Wen's new love, Yuchi Chifan didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.

Seeing Yuchi Chifan frowned slightly, Agnes asked with concern: "Dear Princess, what's wrong with you? Are you thinking of unpleasant things?"

"Ah, I'm wondering how Xiyang King is now, and I don't know what the climate is there in Lingbiao..."

Yuchi Chifan found an excuse to hide it. Of course, Agnes didn't know what he was thinking. The daughter-in-law comforted him: "Princess, the King of Xiyang will definitely be safe in the Lingbing."

"Yes, the King of Xiyang will definitely be fine." Anis also comforted. When she and the princess crossed the Yellow River, the envoy of the Princess of Xiyang happened to catch up with the convoy and reported the news from the Ridge, which was considered to have reported peace.

When Agnes thought of that man, she was a little lost. She was almost cut by Yuwen Wen during Fanyu, so she thought that the King of Xiyang had a bad temper and his princess was probably pitiful. As a result, after she arrived in Xiyang to live in Xiyang's palace, she realized that she was thinking too much.

The Princess of Xiyang is very beautiful. Whenever she mentions the King of Xiyang, she smiles happily. Her children often say that she wants to "Aye", so Agnes can see that the King of Xiyang is a good man and a good husband...

It's just too fierce! He's chopping people when he says he's going to kill, and he's going to beat him, and he's not sympathetic at all!

Agnes recalled the scene when he was played with by Yuwen Wen that night and was slapped by the other party, and some of his good feelings instantly disappeared.

This time it was Yuchi Chifan's turn to see something wrong with Anis. She was concerned: "Madam Anis, what's wrong with you? Did you remember something unpleasant?"

"Ah? Ah...no...nothing..."

A voice came from outside the door. It was Li Gang, the chief of the royal palace, who was accompanying him. Sima Zhang Dingfa was outside to greet him and reminded him that the rest time had come, and it was time to set off for a journey, because there was still half a day to reach Yecheng.

At this time, Yecheng was ready to welcome him, so he could not delay.

Princess Qianjin tried her best to suppress her excitement and stood up and walked out with Yuchi Chifan. She was about to see her younger brother, but she still had half a day and wanted to grow wings and fly directly to Yecheng, so she didn't want to delay for a moment on the road.
