Chapter 388 Reunion (1)
Nanyang County has a special location, where the north and the south meet. When the imperial envoys went to the north, they were in a hurry and did not take any detours. Now that the plague breaks out in Pingzhou, the imperial court issues an imperial edict calling the imperial envoys back to the capital. On the way back, you can "pass by" Nanyang County by taking a detour.
Everyone comes, there is no reason to turn them away.
Jiang Shaohua calmed down and ordered: "Pass the oral message of my princess and order all the officials to follow my princess out of the city to greet you."
Song Yuan responded in a deep voice and quickly retreated. Make arrangements.
In just half an hour, all the officials mounted their horses and followed the princess toward the city gate.
The imperial envoy team that came from afar obeyed the rules and stopped ten miles outside the city gate. The accompanying royal guards and soldiers totaled more than a thousand people, and they were all dismounting and resting at this time. When I took a closer look, everyone looked tired.
The young imperial envoy was quite flattered when he learned that the princess personally came to greet him and show him dignity. He immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute: "Your Majesty, Wang Jin, I have met the princess."
Yes, this imperial envoy passing through Nanyang County is none other than the Fourth Young Master Wang.
Wang Jin was weak since he was a child and could not practice martial arts. He was raised with careful care and attention. As an adult, his body has become much stronger, but he is still a bit inferior to the teenagers of the same age who practice martial arts all year round. The past few months of running around left a deep mark of exhaustion on that gentle and handsome face.
Jiang Shaohua glanced at him and responded warmly: "Wang Sheren, please get up quickly."
Emperor Taihe gave the three companions official official status. The fourth prince in front of him was a seventh-rank man. Zhongshu Sheren. Jiang Shaohua used his official position to show respect, but also to distance himself from each other without leaving any trace.
Wang Jin is as meticulous as dust, how can he not understand. However, he made up his mind to come to Nanyang County, and was mentally prepared for it. He handed over his hand and said: "I passed by Nanyang and shamelessly stayed in Nanyang for a few days to recuperate before setting off. Please forgive me for disturbing me."
Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly and said with great grace and restraint: "Wang Normally the Japanese princess would not be able to invite such a distinguished guest. Now that he is here, I would like to treat you as a landlord! "
Follow me! The Deputy Imperial Commissioner Tan Lang behind Wang Jin responded with a busy smile and cupped his hands, sighing secretly in his heart.
The imperial court issued an imperial edict to summon the imperial envoy back, and Prime Minister Wang sent three letters in succession urging his beloved son to return to the capital. All because of the epidemic in Pingzhou. Wang Jin set off in silence. He never thought that after walking for more than ten days, he insisted on coming to Nanyang County.
As the deputy imperial envoy, he had tried to persuade him several times in private, but the Fourth Young Master Wang looked gentle on the outside but was actually very assertive. He had no choice but to come along.
They all come from young people. It is not difficult to guess what Fourth Young Master Wang is thinking. Forget it, let him be willful this time. Anyway, the sky won't fall down. With Prime Minister Wang here, I think the princess will have to be a little more concerned and leave some dignity to the Fourth Young Master.
Tan Lang was muttering in his heart, with a cheerful smile on his face. After some pleasantries, he got on the carriage and entered Nanyang County.
As soon as he entered Nanyang County, Tan Langzhong felt refreshed and refreshed. He couldn't help but said to Wang Jin: "Traveling from the north, the states and counties are either chaotic or impoverished, but this Nanyang County is... Abundance.”
In fact, you only need to look at the people to know whether a place is good or not. The people of Nanyang County all have rosy complexions, clean and tidy clothes, and happy and happy smiles on their faces, which shows that they are living a good life.
Wang Jin snorted and continued to look out - he didn't know whether he was looking at the people or the heroic Princess Nanyang riding a horse in front.
Jiang Shaohua travels frequently, and the people of Nanyang are all familiar with their princess. The people who came to join in the fun on both sides of the street cheered and shouted "The Princess is a thousand years old", and the sound was like a tide.
Jiang Shaohua waved with a smile, then pressed his palm down, and the shouts of the people stopped immediately.
This kind of prestige and this kind of demeanor are simply breathtaking. Wang Jin stared at the figure in front of him quietly, his mind surging and unable to calm down.
……
It is not easy to settle down more than a thousand people. Dr. Wang Jintan led his own entourage into the Nanyang Palace, and a thousand imperial guards had to be relocated.
Such trivial matters can only be arranged by Chen Changshi and Song Yuan.
The two imperial envoys rested and settled down after entering the palace. In the evening, the princess held a reception banquet. Wang Jin specially washed himself, changed into new clothes, and tied his hair with a jade crown.
Mr. Tan saw it and was a little amused, but he didn't say anything and went to the banquet with Mr. Wang.
In order to show respect for the distinguished guest, Jiang Shaohua also changed his clothes specially, into a black princess uniform. Compared with the complicated formal dress, it is a little lighter, but it is still complicated and gorgeous, showing the nobility of the royal princess.
"Wang Sheren has come from afar and is a distinguished guest. Please take a seat." Jiang Shaohua was very polite and courteous.
Wang Jin would not be rude to others, and said with a smile: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. Please take a seat, Princess. It is a great honor for me to sit with the Princess."
Jiang Shaohua didn't give in anymore and sat down calmly. Doctor Wang Jintan sat at a table, opposite Chen and Feng, the two chief historians, and the rest of the palace officials took their seats according to their official positions.
The dinner had sumptuous dishes and mellow wine, but unfortunately there was no singing and dancing to add to the fun. Tanlang felt secretly sorry in his heart, and raised his glass to honor the princess.
Jiang Shaohua said with a smile: "I never drink alcohol and can only drink tea instead of wine. Don't be offended by Mr. Tan."
Mr. Tan has seen with his own eyes who this Princess of Nanyang is. Why did he angrily rebuke Prime Minister Wang and Prince Wu'an? How could he dare to "take offense"? He smiled and drank from the glass of wine.
Wang Jin didn’t drink either. He drank tea just like the princess.
This light tea is as intoxicating as fine wine. He stared at the princess from time to time, affection flowing silently from his eyes.
Feng Changshi saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but frown. He stretched out his hand and quietly pulled Chen Changshi's sleeve.
Chen Changshi smiled happily and signaled Feng Changshi to calm down with his eyes.
What if I come to Nanyang County?
The princess is determined and determined, how can she be easily impressed. Otherwise, I would not have decided to set off back to Nanyang that day.
Feng Changshi felt relieved. After the dinner, Feng Changshi insisted on sending Chen Changshi back in the cool night breeze. Then, this gift was delivered to the study room.
"What does this Fourth Young Master want to do here?" Feng Changshi frowned and complained: "There is no way our princess will marry to the capital. Isn't it possible that he is willing to become a son-in-law and marry into the Nanyang Prince's Mansion?"
Of course it's impossible to be a son-in-law. Wang Jin is the old son of Prime Minister Wang, and he is also the most cherished son of Prime Minister Wang. He has been the prince's companion in the palace for many years. Now that the prince has ascended the throne as emperor, Wang Jin has become the official of Zhongshushe. A great career has just begun. It's great. A bright future is waiting for the Fourth Young Master Wang!
Chen Changshi laughed: "Even if the Fourth Young Master Wang is willing, Prime Minister Wang will never agree. Just relax!"
