After the morning court, Xu Jin sent someone to the Ministry of Personnel to claim a leave and went straight back to Prince Su's mansion.

"Prince, this morning, Mrs. Fu and the princess of the county have left the city." Xu Jia put the teapot on the table and whispered.

Xu Jin poured a cup of tea himself, sucked the refreshing fragrance of tea, leaned against the back of the chair and asked, "Who is in front and behind?"

Xu Jia said: "The Fu family carriage left the city shortly after the city gate was opened. The princess and the princess were more than an hour late." Mrs. Fu has always paid more attention to reality. When it is hot, she would rather get up early and go to the inn to rest than to still be bumpy on the road around noon.

That's a coincidence.

Xu Jin thought for a while and ordered: "When they arrive in Xindu safely, call our people back, and there is no need to stare at the Fu family."

Since she was also reborn, she would naturally not jump into the wolf den of the county prince's mansion. When Qi Ce's family went to Liaobei, their family would not have any trouble in Jizhou. He didn't have to worry that she was framed and lost her life early. When she returned to the capital, it would not be too late for him to send people to pay attention.

Xu Jia couldn't guess Xu Jin's thoughts, and just thought that he really didn't like the third girl. Thinking of the prince's efforts for the other party this year, he couldn't help but feel regretful and went back to a few more things and went out to do things.

The person left, and only Xu Jin was left in the study.

He stared at the green bamboo patterns on the teacup and did not move.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip until no longer the heat was released from the mouth of the cup.

A little bitter.

The Fu family's carriage and the Prince's Mansion came out of Beijing on the same day. Because it took a while to go, the two families met at the inn on the evening of the same day.

Qiao and others arrived first, so they should not know the itinerary of the county princess. However, when they walked inside, the postmaster who came to receive them said apologetically: "Mrs. Fu, in the morning, the Xindu Palace sent someone to pass on the message, saying that the county princess' car would arrive at the postmaster at dusk, so..."

At the end of April, the Fu family also stayed here when they entered Beijing. They lived in the best courtyard of this inn. In order to please Qiao, the wife of the Inn promised that they would still have such an arrangement when they came back. Unexpectedly, she met a higher-ranking county princess this time.

Mrs. Qiao didn't care about this and said with a smile: "Madam, you are polite. The princess of the county has a noble status. Of course, she has to live in the best yard. Our wife can arrange it casually and stay for one night. As long as the house is clean, we are all grateful."

The wife of the Yicheng secretly thanked that she had not met an unreasonable official wife.

After all the luggage was placed, Qiao went to the wing room to see her two daughters, checked all the items in the room, and said to Fu Rong: "I feel uncomfortable in my body. My mother will take Xuanxuan to pay homage to the princess of the county. You can rest in the room."

She was afraid that her daughter would encounter the prince Xu Yan and would only cause trouble if she shouldn't have moved.

Fu Rong looked at his mother unexpectedly. Thinking of the day when he came back from Duke Qing's mansion that day, his mother was very dissatisfied with Princess Yongning, so it was not difficult to guess the deep meaning of her mother's words. She smiled and said, "Okay, I can't ask for anything. I'm tired all day and just want to go to bed early."

My daughter was well-behaved and hurtful, so Qiao pinched her nose dotingly.

After the princess of the county was settled, Qiao led Fu Xuan over to see him. If he was not happy, the other party's identity was placed there, so they could not help but be alienated.

The princess of the county was talking to her children. When the maid told her that Mrs. Qiao had come, she glanced at her son inadvertently.

Xu Yan left with a calm expression: "The female guest is visiting, and her son is inconvenient to be present, so I will go back to the room first."

The princess of the county nodded.

Xu Yan touched his sister's head and turned around and left.

When he went out, he caught a glimpse of the Qiao mother and daughter waiting at the gate of the yard. Xu Yan laughed at himself when he turned into the corridor.

What is he expecting and what is he avoiding?

She didn't even give him the chance to avoid it.

The boy looked lonely, and Qiao looked at him from a distance, thinking it was a pity that Xu Yan was good-looking and could also give them medicinal materials to please them. She was 10,000 satisfied. It’s a pity that he had a grandmother who looked down on her daughter. Even the princess of the county would be influenced by Princess Yongning.

With so many worries, let's just forget it.

Unintentionally pleased him, and after entering the main hall, Qiao only maintained the politeness of the officials' wives, inquired about the situation of the county princess along the way, and talked about her own hard work, such as Fu Rong's heatstroke and motion sickness, and she went to bed early, so she could not come to see her.

The princess of the county asked Fu Rong a few questions, and finally asked: "When will you set out tomorrow?"

Qiao replied with a smile: "Go away while it's cool in the morning."

The princess of the county praised: "You are still thoughtful. I want to learn from you too, but I am not as energetic as you, so I can't get up in the morning. I'm afraid I can't walk with you."

Qiao immediately understood that the princess of the county didn't want to get too close to her family.

She smiled and praised the spirit of the county princess, and then said goodbye with tactfulness.

Both families intend to avoid it, but they will not meet during the day in the next few days, and will only meet in the inn in the evening.

Seeing that she could enter Xindu City the next afternoon, after she was placed in the inn that day, Qiao looked carefully in the mirror and said to Fu Rong sisters: "I'll have enough sleep tomorrow. We won't get up and leave early." She also had a good night's sleep, and then she could see her husband radiantly. Qiao didn't want to meet again after a long time, but let her husband see her tired and haggard appearance.

Fu Xuan was young and didn't understand. Fu Rong could see his mother's beautiful thoughts thoroughly. He couldn't help but sigh that his father was lucky and beautiful. How much advantage did his father take?

So the next day when the princess and her family were about to set off, they were shocked to find that the Fu family's carriage was parked in front of the inn and had not set off yet.

Just as she was wondering, Qiao led the maids out and saw the princess of the county. Qiao signaled the maids to go and let the salute first. She rushed over and talked to the princess of the county: "I'm laughing. My two daughters have been exhausted these days. No one got up this morning, so she had to leave in the heat of the summer."

The princess of the county looked at her daughter and expressed her understanding. She invited her to do so: "Then let's go together."

Qiao declined ashamed and said, "No need, they haven't washed up yet, how dare you wait for it, the empress, just go first."

Seeing that she didn't deliberately get close to her, the princess of the county felt a little ashamed and felt as if she was a villain. However, looking at her son on one side, the princess of the county did not insist anymore. After saying goodbye to Qiao, she got on a carriage with her daughter.

Qiao watched them leave, and waited for another half an hour before setting off slowly.

June is hot and the sun is scorching.

In the pavilion next to Guan Road ten miles outside Xindu City, Fu Pinyan looked at the official and complained again: "Why are your mother and the others so slow?"

Fu Wan wore a veil hat and was lowering her head to fan the sleeping brother in the wooden car. He smiled and said, "Dad, don't be anxious, it should be soon."

Fu Pinyan was afraid that the eldest daughter would work hard, so he asked her to fan the maid: "Stop, too, don't just think about Brother Guan."

"I'm not tired." Fu Wan replied with a funny look. I heard that my mother came back today, and my younger brother insisted on coming out to greet her. After a while, I fell asleep again after I got here. It would be fine. When my younger brother woke up, my mother and my younger sister arrived, so there was no need to wait in vain.

Just as I was thinking, the sound of horse hooves came from the official road.

Fu Wan paused and looked up.

But Fu Pinyan had already gone down the pavilion.

Looking at him, unexpectedly, what was coming into his eyes was not his own carriage. Fu Pinyan's face looked very ugly. He was about to curse and was unlucky, but suddenly recognized it as the carriage from the Prince's Mansion and couldn't help but stand on the spot.

The weather was hot, and Xu Yan was also sitting in the carriage. When he heard something outside, he picked up the curtain and looked at it. Seeing that it was Fu Pinyan, he hurriedly asked the coachman to stop the car and he went down to see him.

"Is the prince back from the capital?" Seeing that the carriage stopped, Fu Pinyan rushed to Xu Yan in the scorching sun and asked politely.

Xu Yan nodded, looked at the pavilion, and smiled and said, "Is my uncle here to pick up my aunt and two sisters? They are behind and they will arrive in about two quarters of an hour."

"Thank you for your advice from the prince." Fu Pinyan thanked with a smile, looking back at the pavilion and said, "The youngest son misses his mother too much, so he had to bring him over to welcome him."

It's clearly an excuse.

Looking at the handsome and elegant middle-aged man in front of him, Xu Yan felt envious.

If she is his wife, and she will return from a long journey in the future, he will be willing to go out to the city to welcome her, regardless of the cold or heat.

"It's hot outside, so my uncle will go back to the pavilion to rest, we're leaving too." Xu Yan bowed and said goodbye because Fu Pinyan saw his distraction.

Fu Pinyan watched them on the side of the road.

In the carriage in front, the princess of the county couldn't tell what it felt like after listening to the conversation between the two.

Qiao is a concubine daughter, and she is married to a concubine son. She is the daughter of Princess Yongning, the current emperor's direct cousin, and the dignified King of Xindu. But at this moment, the princess of the county really envies Qiao. If Xu Yaocheng treats her half as good as Fu Pinyan to Qiao, she will be content.

The luxurious and grand carriage left with the owner's sour heart.

Fu Pinyan quickly walked back to the pavilion and continued to wait for his beloved wife and daughter.

When the Guan Ge'er woke up, the Qiao family and his daughter came late. He heard someone calling him a wife from afar. Qiao opened the curtain and saw him, and immediately called for someone to stop the car, leading his two daughters to the pavilion to reunite with his family.

Because her husband was there, although Qiao was eager to think about her, she still paid attention to her steps and walked slowly forward with the maid holding an umbrella.

Fu Xuan followed his mother sensiblely, with unconcealed joy on his face.

As for Fu Rong, he had no worries about his lover, and had no sister's politeness. After getting off the car, he ran directly to the pavilion, snatched his younger brother from Fu Wan and kissed him hard: "Does Guan Ge'er still remember his sister? Do you miss her?"

Brother Guan just woke up and was stunned, but he was so tickled by his sister that he was itchy. He smiled and became energetic, twisting his body to ask for help from his elder sister.

"Okay, give me a hug." Qiao had already walked in, but didn't even look at her husband, and went to hug her son anxiously.

"mother!"

To everyone's surprise, Brother Guan, who was still laughing, burst into tears when he saw his mother. After being taken over by Qiao, he hugged his mother's arms tightly, for fear that his mother would disappear, and cried.

Qiao sat in a corner of the pavilion with her back to her husband, wiping her tears while coaxing her son.

Fu Pinyan shook his head helplessly and sat on the other side with the other sisters Fu Rong and reminiscing about the past.

"Okay, let's go home first." Qiao turned around and said.

Fu Pinyan smiled at her.

Mrs. Qiao glared at him quietly.

Fu Rong took the eye contact of his parents and went to pick up Guan Ge'er considerately: "Sister miss Guan Ge'er. Is Guan Ge'er good to make a carriage with his sister? My sister brought a lot of good things to Guan Ge'er from the capital, and they were all placed on the carriage."

Brother Guan nodded and reached out to let his sister hug him.

So the three of Fu Rong sisters got on a carriage with the little guy.

"Catch the train slowly." Fu Pinyan ordered the coachman seriously, and the coachman responded happily. He turned to Qiao and said, "Let's get on the train too."

Qiao blushed.

It seems that the dazzling sunshine in midsummer is not as hot as the longing and desire in the eyes of my husband.

But she was willing to be scalded by her husband.

He got into the carriage nervously. Before Qiao could sit firmly, he was hugged by the man who followed him.

Qiao was anxious and held her husband's hand and whispered to him: "What are you doing?"

Fu Pinyan ordered the driver to drive the car first. When the carriage moved, he could not refuse to roll up his wife's light green skirt embroidered with a lotus flower, then lifted her robe, slowly put the person on her legs, stared at her beautiful peony face and said, "If I do nothing, wouldn't I let Su Niang down on this tenderness like water?"
