As the sun gradually rose above the treetops, a few small black dots finally appeared in the distance to the northwest of the Shili Changting Pavilion.

"Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes. Grandpa, look!"

Children have good eyesight. The Chu twins were the first to notice the abnormality ahead and pointed at a place not far away and shouted loudly.

The crowd, who were already getting impatient and tired from waiting, were suddenly shocked and energized when they heard the words. They stretched their necks and looked forward, and sure enough, they saw a few small black dots slowly moving towards the direction of the capital.

The emperor standing at the front stared intently at the small black dot in the front of his sight. His heart was pounding as if it would break through the constraints of his skin in the next second. His hands unconsciously clenched his cuffs.

The breeze blew up his cape, drawing a graceful arc behind him. Time had made this young emperor lose his youthful immaturity and become more calm. His lips were tightly closed and his eyes were sharp. Having been in a high position for a long time, he was even more majestic without being angry.

The four old men beside him were busy and excited at this moment.

"Old Man Feng, quickly check if my hair is messy?" Wang Huang called out in a low voice to the old master of the Feng family.

"It's fine, not too messy or tidy." Patriarch Feng replied perfunctorily without even moving his eyes.

"What about the clothes? Are they neat and tidy?"

"Neat and tidy."

"Old man Feng, come and look, how are we two?" Old Patriarch Situ suddenly interrupted, not wanting to be outdone. This was his first time showing up in front of his future granddaughter-in-law, and he had to leave a good impression, but he didn't dare say it out loud.

"Did you look carefully?! Please help me look carefully again!"

"Don't make any noise, it's really a carriage, look, they are back!"

The black dot in the distance moved forward at a very fast speed. The outline of a carriage slowly appeared in everyone's sight, and then one, two, three...

The beautiful woman's carriage was in the front. After the sun came out, the temperature rose. Even if all the curtains of the carriage were raised, it would not feel too cold.

Fat Tiger also squeezed in, lying next to Meixiang and the beautiful woman, like two natural furnaces. Xiao San was squeezed to the outermost part of the car by the two of them, and later she simply closed the window and lifted the curtain, so that the beautiful woman, Meixiang and Chen Mama who were sitting in the car could see the image in front clearly.

When the towering city wall appeared in their sight, the usually calm beautiful woman couldn't help but tighten her sleeves, while Nanny Chen was already excited with tears in her eyes, "Miss, we are back, we are finally back!"

"Yes, after seventeen years and more than six thousand days and nights, we are finally back!" The beautiful woman couldn't help but choke up.

Meixiang's sight moved from far to near, from the distant city wall to the Shili Changting. Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a cloak came into her sight. Although she couldn't see his specific appearance, her body instinct told her the identity of this man.

"Mother, look ahead." Meixiang deliberately ignored the excitement of the beautiful woman and Nanny Chen, and pointed at the man standing in front of her sight with a smile.

From this moment on, the beautiful woman's gaze was fixed on that moment.

That man, the husband she had been thinking about for more than ten years, suddenly appeared in her sight. At this moment, there was no room for anything else in her eyes except this man.

Meixiang gradually saw the four legendary old people, four children, and the three middle-aged men standing beside them, and then countless ladies, young ladies, and young masters in different clothes as far as the eye could see?

Yoho, what's going on? Why are there so many people?

Meixiang thought about her cheap dad coming to pick them up, and she also thought about Chu Zeming, Feng Yizhen, and Situ Yidong's parents might come, and even thought about the four old people. But what about those other people?

"Mother?" Meixiang called out out of habit. It was the first time that the beautiful woman did not respond to her immediately.

Well, Meixiang turned her head to look at Nanny Chen, whose gaze had shifted from her own young lady to her when she heard the voice. The two of them smiled knowingly and decided not to disturb the beautiful woman for the time being.

"Mammy, who do you think those people are?"

Nanny Chen looked at the crowded crowd in front of her. After all, she had grown up with the eldest daughter and had knowledge and had seen the world. She thought about it for a moment and knew what was going on. "Young lady, didn't you and your young lady refuse the officials to come to greet you? It's not convenient for them to come in person. I guess these are probably their wives and their children."

Meixiang's eyes flickered and she had an idea in her mind.

As the carriage got closer, the nanny asked Xiao San to lower the curtain to avoid being rude. This blocked the beautiful woman from looking at the emperor, and also gave her a chance to come back to her senses.

"Mom, is my cheap dad as handsome as ever? Is he still as charming as before?" Meixiang teased while hugging the beautiful woman's arm.

"You girl."

He gently tapped his daughter's forehead, thinking of what he had just seen, and then calmed his mind, sorted out his thoughts a little, turned to Meixiang and his servant and said, "Xiang'er, you saw the scene before. The people who came today were a little unexpected, but you don't have to pay attention to them, but you need to greet the few people standing next to your father."

"Yeah," Meixiang nodded repeatedly. The one who could stand next to her father must be either the closest to him or in a high position. Either way, it was worth her saying hello.

"Don't worry, mother. I know. Don't worry about these. Father must have already arranged them."

At the same time, through the raised curtain, the emperor clearly saw his wife and daughter sitting in the carriage. Although he had not completely gotten over his longing for her, he was extremely grateful to God for their safe arrival in the capital and in front of him.

There was still a tough battle to deal with, so the emperor quickly came to his senses, took a deep breath, and made quick arrangements.

He waved his hand and called his personal eunuch to his side: "Little Prince, this is the first time the princess has seen these people. You should be smart and know what to do, right?"

The young eunuch rolled his eyes. He had mentioned the identities, ages, and general appearances of these people in his previous letters, but it was normal that he couldn't match up so many people at once. "I will stand beside the princess and introduce them to her one by one."

"Well," the emperor thought for a moment, then instructed, "I don't know who she brought back this time. You should be careful and make sure there is no trouble and no harm to the queen and the eldest princess."

"Yes! Don't worry, Your Majesty." The eunuch nodded repeatedly in response.

When the emperor turned his gaze back to the carriage speeding towards the front, the eunuch Xiao Wang quietly moved in the direction of his master.
