Chapter 395 2 years later
Time flies, and two years have passed in a flash.
The Prime Minister in the capital has been particularly busy these days because there has been a happy event in his mansion, and red silk and interesting lanterns are hung everywhere.
Whether it is the master or the servant, they are all busy every day.
Even so, everyone had a smile on their face, looking forward to the time when the little lady would come back home.
Yan'er is now also respected as Old Madam Xia. She carefully checked her clothes and headgear several times in the yard.
She said to the nanny beside her, "Are all the things ready? There must be no mistakes."
"Yes, don't worry, old lady. The young lady's affairs are of the utmost importance in the mansion."
The commotion in the Prime Minister's Mansion was so big that the various forces that had been keeping an eye on them also began to become concerned.
Anyone who paid a little attention would know that the Grand Princess Protector of the Country was about to come of age, and those who had daughters at home would have warned them at that time.
Even if we can't make friends, we must not make enemies. Prepare some gifts for the princess.
Many young ladies who knew the news were speechless. They wanted to be on good terms with the eldest princess. Who would be so stupid as to make her unhappy?
In their hearts, the eldest princess is their idol.
Three days later, the capital city was bustling with activity. The city guards cleared the way and escorted the retired emperor and the new emperor out of the palace, followed by civil and military officials.
Ten miles outside the city, the people standing guard to welcome the returning army were also very excited, holding baskets in their hands and looking eagerly towards the end of the road.
After about a cup of tea, the deafening sound of horse hooves could be heard, followed by clouds of dust, and the first thing that came out was a flash of bright red.
In the morning light, she rode her warhorse into the wind, her golden armor shining, and the red cloak on her back fluttering in the air, looking graceful and elegant.
The thunderous momentum makes people tremble with fear at first sight, and they can't help but want to kneel on the ground and kowtow.
Following closely behind was the battle flag unique to Nanxu. A lotus was embroidered on the bright red flag, making it the most special among all countries.
The emperor stood at the front to greet her, and he couldn't help feeling a little sour when he saw the divine figure not far away.
There must be too few useful people in the court, otherwise why would they let a little girl stay at the front for more than two years?
After all, it was because the new emperor was useless that Ning Bao suffered.
He couldn't help but glare at his son beside him. If the occasion wasn't wrong, he would have given him a good beating with a feather duster.
New Emperor: ???
He felt a chill and didn't understand what he, a filial son, had done to deserve being glared at by his father?
I still quietly took a few steps back to avoid embarrassment later.
Everyone from the Prime Minister's Mansion had arrived behind them. The children were very anxious because they couldn't see their aunt, and they stood on tiptoe to see their little aunt.
Unfortunately, no one noticed what they were thinking.
As the team got closer, Xia Yining and Xi Zhiyi also slowed down until they were about ten meters away.
The two of them smiled at each other in tacit understanding, then moved and jumped off the horses very neatly.
He landed in front of the big boss and said, "Your servant Xia Yining has lived up to the emperor's grace. Together with the three great generals and the soldiers at the border, we have captured forty-nine cities and have returned to the capital to report."
"I know it is easy..."
The woman was wearing red and golden armor, and the man was wearing black and golden armor. The half masks on their faces had not been removed yet. Just standing there was very pleasing to the eye.
The same words popped up in everyone's mind: "A talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match made in heaven."
Only then did Xia Yining take a closer look at the retired emperor. He looked very energetic two years ago, but now he had a head full of white hair.
The whole person looked decayed and it felt like he was about to leave this world at any moment.
She didn't know what had happened in the capital in the past two years and looked at him with some worry.
The emperor understood what she meant and just laughed happily: "Well, well, well, you are worthy of being the princess who protects the country of Nanxu. You are really amazing."
"From today on, the status of the Protector of the Nation Princess is equal to that of the new emperor. Anyone who sees her must kneel down and pay their respects."
This statement was shocking. If you think about it carefully, it is equivalent to Nan Xu having a new emperor, a empress.
Xia Yining held her forehead helplessly and said quickly: "No, no, no, I don't need such great power. I just want to lie down and be a salted fish in the days to come.
Spend the whole day basking in the sun, eating and drinking, and having fun in the capital.
If possible, I can be a playboy." She said it very seriously, with a look of disgust on her face.
It says "Don't get close to me."
Everyone: The eldest princess is really disgusted. There is no doubt that she wants to run away as soon as possible.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion: Yes, yes, yes, whoever is willing to do this hard job can do it, but don't let Ning'er do it.
It would be enough to have the new emperor working like a slave at home, why does he only focus on causing trouble for them?
Seeing that she had many dislikes, the emperor sighed lightly. This supreme power was also despised by others.
He glanced at his son who was still laughing foolishly and rolled his eyes.
It’s not that your father doesn’t want to help you, it’s that he really doesn’t want you. In that case, you should just continue to be a slave to the emperor.
You will have to fend for yourself for the remaining decades.
As for him? It didn't matter if he died sooner or later. He wanted to die at any time to show them.
The new emperor looked at the eldest princess who was so close to him, his eyes lit up, he wanted to stand over and ask her why she was so good at everything.
He felt something fluffy in the palm of his hand, and when he looked down, he saw that it was an orange cat. He was instantly moved and thought that it was the best.
He and the orange cat are the best in the world!!
With a slightly lewd smile on his face, he kept rubbing against the orange cat, not looking like an emperor at all.
The civil and military officials and the people behind him were all envious. They also wanted to touch the mythical beast and get some blessings.
That fluffy feel must be very nice.
Ohhhh~~~It's another day of envying the Emperor.
The queen was so angry when she saw his expression that she gnashed her teeth, just because she wanted to touch the orange cat secretly, but this protective cat snatched it away.
She saw the look in his eyes clearly just now, which showed that the new emperor didn't want her to pet the orange cat.
I'm so angry. I'll settle the score with him after I return to the palace.
Be prepared not to let him go to bed for a month, no, three months.
The retired emperor shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do. The new emperor and empress of a country were so childish.
He smiled and touched Dabai and Xiaobai and said, "You have all worked hard this time. I have heard of your heroic deeds more than once.
On the battlefield, he will even protect ordinary soldiers. He is worthy of being called the divine tiger.
I have specially asked someone to cook lots of meat for you, so that you can nourish your bodies.
There is also a large manor outside the capital, which is backed by a mountain and is also under your name. When you are bored, you can go and play in the woods." The voice was amiable and full of joy.
