“My sister also said that those things will happen a hundred years from now. A hundred years from now, people will not remember many things. Why does father have to leave his name through the ages?” Furong didn’t understand and walked back slowly towards the setting golden crow.

It's not that I have to leave my name through the ages, but I want the power of Prince Huai's Palace to continue to exist.

But that would be wrong. There is no such thing as eternal power in this world. It is just the will of the people. If power could be passed down from generation to generation, Ning Huaixuan might still be sitting on the throne.

It can be seen that this world is full of variables...

In the warm room next to the imperial garden, this was where Ning Huaixuan had raised exotic flowers and plants for Liu Huachao, allowing flowers of different seasons to bloom at the same time.

For this purpose, Ning Huaixuan built this warm pavilion and spent all his money to win the beauty's smile.

Later, after the mutiny, all the flowers in this warm room were left outside and froze to death. After being idle for a long time, the palace servants ordered people to tidy it up again and turned it into a great place to enjoy the scenery.

It wasn't too cold that time, and I could see the pavilion in the middle of the lake outside through the warm room.

"When did you get the news?"

"This afternoon." Ji Mengshu picked up a sour jujube and put it in his mouth to dissolve it. "Do you already know?"

"Yeah." He didn't say much, holding her slightly cold hand.

"Since you already knew it, why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you want me to come and ask you in person?"

Ning Rongzhang did not avoid it, nodded and said, "Yes."

The urgent document that traveled eight hundred miles had already reached Shangjing four or five days ago. Ning Rongzhang wanted to see when this person would come to see him.

After dinner in the palace, Ji Yuanzheng's carriage was waiting outside the palace. After all, as an unmarried girl, it was not appropriate for her to get too close to others.

Li Huaixiang arrived quickly. Within two days after the letter reached her, she came back with Li Huaize.

General Li Huairong is still guarding the border. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Li Huaixiang just sent a document to Shangjing, hoping to come back to visit during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Li Huaize was worried about her going back alone. To put it bluntly, he also wanted to go to Beijing with her to play for a few days. Anyway, Dali was very stable now and there was no war at all.

Only then did he ask Li Huaixiang to add his name to the document, and then he happily followed Li Huaixiang back to Shangjing.

"Huai Xiang, what do you think about my brother asking the Regent for permission to find a job in the capital in the future?" Li Huaize was a man who loved to laugh. No matter who he was talking to, he always had a smile on his face, which won the hearts of many girls.

Ordinary imperial guards would certainly look down upon a man with such great military achievements as Li Huaize. Li Huaixiang thought about it carefully and said, "In Shangjing City, apart from the military department and the imperial guards, I really can't think of anything more suitable for my brother."

Li Huaize pulled the reins and rode two or three steps to catch up with Li Huaixiang. The smile on his face faded a little, and he looked calm. "Brother, to be honest, I heard that the envoys of Luanzhou have already arrived in the Dali Dynasty. Perhaps after the regent ascends the throne, the two dynasties will reconcile, and there will be fewer wars on the border in the future. My father and mother are old, and it’s time for them to live out their retirement in Shangjing..."

That's true. Even though General Li refuses to admit his old age, it cannot change his increasingly gray hair and beard, and his increasingly slow reactions.

In fact, he came back this time not just to visit Shangjing.

"Huai Xiang!"

The girl opened the carriage window and looked out, and waved to everyone. She hadn't seen her for a long time and she almost didn't recognize her.

Li Huaixiang was wearing a red and black tights, with narrow sleeves tied at her wrists, her black hair tied up, and her bright eyes looked at people with a hint of coldness.

"Ah Shu." Li Huaixiang turned over and got off the horse, handed the reins to the servant beside him, and before the carriage stopped, he jumped onto the carriage in two or three steps, lifted the curtain and went in.

If you don’t know, you might think it was some handsome young man flirting with a girl on the street.

"Are you tired? It must be very tiring to travel from the border county to the capital. Come and sit down. This is a fruit from Yipinfang. Come and try it." She handed a sour date to her lips without saying a word.

Li Huaixiang opened his mouth and bit it, but the words he was about to say were blocked in his throat by the sour jujube.

"Mmmmm, mmmmmm?"

"what?"

Li Huaixiang swallowed the sour jujube and said, "I'm not tired. Are you tired?"

Ji Mengshu put the pillow behind her and said, "I'm not riding a horse or walking, so why should I be tired?"

She propped up her chin and looked at Li Huaixiang quietly, blinked her eyes and hugged her, "Huaixiang, you won't leave this time..."

She was like a little animal that had been left at home for a long time and was terrified of being abandoned again.

Li Huaixiang put his arm around her back and patted her gently, "Okay, whatever you say."

On the day of returning to Beijing, Li Huaize was the only one who met the Regent. Ning Rongzhang looked at him and saw that there was no one beside him, and asked, "Didn't Miss Li come with you?"

Li Huaize smiled and said, "She was in a hurry to catch up with Ah Shu."

Ning Rongzhang: ...

General Li and his wife were not in the capital, and the entire Li Mansion had been ransacked by the previous emperor, leaving only an empty house without even a maid.

Not to mention it's pitch black, dusty and full of rats running around, I'm afraid it's uninhabitable.

Jiang's mother took the initiative to take Huai Xiang over.

"Oh, the little girl of the Li family has grown up, and looks more heroic." Jiang's mother was supported by the maid and came in. She looked up and saw Li Huaixiang standing next to Ji Mengshu in a tight suit.

"Meet Madam Jiang. I hope you are well."

"Okay, okay, stop standing. You must be exhausted from the long journey." Jiang's mother waved her hand, and someone came over with two cups of hot soup. "Drink it first. Don't worry, brother. I've asked Yuanzheng to wait for him at the palace gate. He will get a portion of this soup, too."

The Li family and the Ji family in Shangjing City have always been on good terms. The Li family chose to help Ning Rongzhang because of the Ji family's affairs.

"Then you're welcome, Huai Xiang." The girl picked up the soup bowl and drank it all up in one gulp, as if she didn't feel the heat. At the end, she wiped her mouth and said, "It tastes good!"

After Li Huaize came out of the palace, he saw Ji Yuanzheng waiting outside the palace gate. "Brother Ji! It's been a long time since we last met. Do you want to go to the brothel for a drink?" As he said that, he put his arm on Ji Yuanzheng's shoulder, and the two brothers discussed where to go for a drink.

Ji Yuanzheng was about to attack with an elbow, but luckily Li Huaize dodged it quickly and looked over with a hurt look on his face. "Yuanzheng, how could you do this to me? Is it because I'm going to have a brother and sister-in-law soon?" He looked aggrieved and did not forget to tease him at the end.

"Mother asked me to call you over. Huai Xiang is already at the mansion."
