On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!
Chapter 77 Returning to Beijing
From the side, Cen Xiao's eyes never left Shen Wantang.
Looking at her lowered eyes, Cen Xiao had already guessed it almost exactly.
There is a hot spring in the cave, which makes it much warmer.
Shen Wantang hastily spread out the straw mat and lay down.
I'm afraid there will be more troubles when I return to Beijing this time.
After all, it has been almost half a year since I left the capital, and the court has been constantly changing. When I return, I don’t know what the situation is in the court.
The next morning.
The sky was turning pale, and everyone stood up, packed up, and prepared to continue on their journey.
As they got closer to the capital, everyone felt stronger and stronger. In the remaining days, except for resting at night, they were on the road all the time without rest, and they arrived at the capital in one breath.
On the official road leading into Beijing, officers and soldiers were already lining up to welcome us.
Even though he was far away, Shen Wantang recognized at a glance that the person leading the group was his father!
The face that had been indifferent for a long time slowly showed a smile. She waved the reins, and the horse's pace became lighter.
When they reached the outskirts of Beijing, everyone stopped.
"We are waiting here on the orders of His Majesty for the general's victorious return."
General Shen came forward, bowed and said.
Cen Xiao was unrestrained at all times, but he also returned the greeting respectfully.
I haven't seen my father for a long time, and I found that he has a lot more white hair.
The court was full of twists and turns, and it was really hard for the general to mediate among the civil officials all day long.
Shen Wantang threw herself into her father's arms, and for a moment, hot tears fell like a flood.
After a brief greeting, everyone continued to walk towards the capital.
"Your Majesty is considerate of you all. I will return home to rest today and report to the court tomorrow."
As soon as he entered the city gate, General Shen spoke.
After such a long and bumpy ride, Cen Xiao really couldn't bear it anymore. He said goodbye in a hurry and went straight to the mansion.
"Did everything go smoothly on your way back to Beijing?" General Shen looked at his daughter with doting in his eyes.
Next to his father, Shen Wantang hugged his father's arm tightly like a little child and said affectionately: "Thanks to father, everything will go well."
"At the mansion, Aunt Liu has prepared a welcome banquet for you." General Shen asked tentatively.
When did Aunt Liu have such good intentions? It was good enough that she didn't set a trap for Shen Wantang, but now she has set up a banquet to welcome her.
I'm afraid it's not a Hongmen Banquet.
Shen Wantang's smile froze for a moment, and her eyebrows slightly raised: "Madam Liu really cares about me. She usually doesn't care about me, but now that I'm back in Beijing, she's holding a welcoming banquet for me."
General Shen sighed almost imperceptibly.
After Shen Wantang set out for the mountain city, Aunt Liu knelt before him, begged bitterly, and swore a solemn oath that she would never do anything evil.
The mansion cannot be without a housekeeper for a day, so it is not a bad idea to hire Concubine Liu for the time being.
While they were talking they arrived at the Shen Residence.
At that time, Shen Ying had already been waiting at the door. When she saw the two people appear, she hurried forward.
"Sister, welcome back to your triumphant return."
Shen Ying came forward, knelt on one knee, and said auspicious words -
Is this still the Shen Ying who used to compete with Shen Wantang?
Shen Wantang jumped off the horse.
It had been a long time since she had washed herself, and the smell of her body hit her in the face, causing Shen Ying's face to darken. A look of disgust flashed across her face, and then she managed to force a smile.
Her micro-expressions can never lie.
Shen Wantang raised his lips slightly, looking down at Shen Ying in front of him: "There are no outsiders around, so there is no need to act pretentiously."
After leaving a few words, Shen Wantang turned and left.
As expected, he was still young and frivolous. Shen Ying suddenly stood up and looked at Shen Wantang's back with resentment in his eyes.
This was not enough. After the people left, she started to curse: "You are such an ungrateful bitch. I came to greet you in person, but you still said this. Before, you were far away, so I couldn't touch you. Now that you are back, let me see how I will deal with you."
The maid beside her was startled and stepped forward to remind her softly, "Miss, now, the eldest lady's military merits are even higher, we..."
"So what if you have military merits? You are still a woman. The harem doesn't care about your military merits. If you don't have the skills, you will die in my hands."
Shen Ying snorted coldly and turned around to teach the maid a lesson.
The maidservant was speechless after being rebuked by Shen Ying's bandit rhetoric and buried her head deeply.
Qing'e had already prepared a bathtub and collected wintersweet petals in the backyard.
The first thing Shen Wantang did when he returned home was to rush into the bathroom and soak his whole body in boiling water. Shen Wantang slowly closed his eyes, feeling the warmth from home.
Qing'e gently sprinkled the petals on the water, and the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance.
After taking a bath, Shen Wantang returned to the room.
At that time, the servant came hurriedly with a food box in his hand.
"Who sent it?"
Looking at the food box, Shen Wantang frowned slightly.
"It was sent by the waiter of the restaurant. I specifically asked and heard that it was sent from the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion."
The servant responded.
Cen Xiao?
He opened the food box and took a look. It was all Shen Wantang's favorite food.
He is thoughtful.
But... a trace of bitterness passed through Shen Wantang's heart, and she didn't think about it anymore.
"I'm tired, you all go down first." After a long time, she spoke softly.
Qing'e lit some calming incense and left the room with the servants.
Shen Wantang leaned against the bed, staring at the food box in a daze.
Sending food - Cen Xiao really hasn't changed. He is like this after getting married, and it turns out he was also like this before getting married.
knock knock...
There was a sound coming from the window, and Shen Wantang sat up alertly.
Before she could make a move, the window was opened and a figure in black suddenly climbed in.
Shen Wantang moved quickly, took out a hidden weapon from under the pillow, and threw it at the figure in black.
"Hmm..." A familiar voice spoke in a muffled voice.
When the man in black slowly turned around, Shen Wantang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After being hit by Shen Wantang's hidden weapon, Liancheng covered his buttocks, his whole face turned red, and a whimpering sound came from his throat.
"It's been a while since we last met. Do you really want to greet me like this?"
Lian Zhaoxin made up his mind and pulled out the hidden weapon from his buttocks. The fear in his eyes had not yet dissipated, and his resentful gaze fell on Shen Wantang.
Shen Wantang raised her eyelashes faintly, and a speechless look emerged in her eyes.
"Your Highness, why did you come to see me?"
She slowly stood up, sat on a chair beside her, and poured herself a cup of tea as if nothing had happened.
Lian Zhao also came forward and was about to sit down, but the wound on his butt began to hurt slightly.
He had no choice but to stand aside.
"Of course I want to ask you, what did you gain from this trip to the mountain city?" Lian Zhao sighed, and without being polite, he poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.
Shen Wantang raised her eyebrows, slowly put down the teacup, and slightly opened her thin lips.
“It can be said that the harvest was quite fruitful.”
