Meeting Wu Jie's gaze, Yuan Jing smiled: "You should have a good rest, I'm going back to the mansion first."

Prince De finally realized that his family was too rude, and hurried out to greet this distinguished guest.

Yuan Jing said with a smile: "I'm fine, the prince and his relatives are reunited after a long absence, so there is no need to be distracted by me."

After that, he left with his attendants.

Wu Jie watched him leave without any intention of seeing him off.

Concubine Lu stood aside and watched, and finally began to feel that something was wrong.

The daughter is the emperor's concubine, so it stands to reason that she should serve him back to the mansion. Just stay at home like this?

Wu Wan was also surprised: "The emperor has such a good temper, he didn't care about our rudeness."

Just now when Yuan Jing sent him back, he heard that he was the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, and Prince De's family was still busy saluting. When they saw their beloved daughter, they couldn't care about anything, and just put him aside. It took me a long time to cry before realized it. Fortunately, the emperor had a gentle attitude and didn't care about it at all.

Princess Lu wanted to speak, but suddenly thought of something again, and her complexion changed drastically.

"Oh, my son, you are... still Zifen, just now we..." When she saw her daughter, she didn't even think about this, and rushed up excitedly to hug him.

Concubine Mu, you just realized this! Looking at Princess Lu with a terrified expression, Wu Jie's head was full of black lines, "The emperor already knew about it."

"You already know?" After sending Yuan Jing away, Prince De, who came back from the outside, was startled and almost jumped up, "Then this matter..."

If this matter is pursued seriously, it can be regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor. The Northern Wei Dynasty can even use this crime to send troops to destroy the country of Dongyue.

"He won't pursue it, it's just a trivial matter." Wu Jie comforted. "My daughter saved the emperor's life by chance in the palace. The emperor later found out about it and promised his daughter not to pursue it."

Prince De also realized that the young emperor seemed to have a different attitude towards his daughter. It's not like the attitude of ordinary emperors towards their concubines.

Before sending people back, Prince De and Princess Lu followed the etiquette to visit, and he immediately stepped forward to support them. Mild attitude, elegant speech. Afterwards, the family reunion was exciting, and he neglected the entertainment, and he was not angry, but just watched with a smile.

Prince De said his farewell, and hurried to the palace. The meeting between the emperors of the two countries in Xinshao City was a rare event in the entire history of East Vietnam. As the person in charge, Prince De is even more busy.

Princess Lu took Wu Jie's hand and went to the back house.

"How is he treating you? Oh, my mother is too much to ask." Princess Lu smiled. She has been there, and she can clearly see that the young emperor's eyes on his daughter were full of tears. It's gentle, and news came before that her daughter has been canonized as a noble concubine.

"I heard that there are many daughters of powerful officials in the emperor's harem, and I was worried that you would be oppressed, or that he had a rough and cruel personality, and his appearance was ugly. Now it seems that my mother is too worried." Princess Lu said happily.

Sitting on the embroidered bed where she lived since childhood, the corners of Wu Jie's mouth twitched. This was just a sign. Although Yuan Jing was born very well, with elegant speech, both civil and military skills, and good in every aspect, but...

This guy is still annoying.

"The emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty is so handsome, he's not far behind the prince's elder brother. Sister, you were born so well, if you have a child in the future, it must be a lovely Yuxue baby." Wu Wan clapped her hands.

Girl, you think too far!

Wu Jie really wanted to tell her mother that she might stay in Xinshao City from now on.

However, it is better not to say it for the time being, so as not to frighten the mother.

It's just, why did this girl Wu Wan bring up the prince's brother again? This sad incident...

No matter what kind of person, in Wu Jie's heart, she couldn't compare with Wu Zhen who grew up with her since she was a child. It is a pity that he died young.

The sad look on Wu Zhen's face when he mentioned Wu Zhen to his daughter. Princess Lu's eyes widened, "You child, don't you even know?"

Wu Jie was stunned: "What don't you know?"

The smile on Princess Lu's face almost overflowed, "Of course His Royal Highness is coming back soon."

Wu Jie:? ? ? ! ! !

Standing on the edge of the pier on the east bank of Xinshao City, the pier, which was originally bustling with people coming and going, is quiet today, and all the idlers have been cleared out.

The entire pier, which occupies a vast area, has been tidied up to a new look, and the white stone floor is covered with a golden carpet, waiting for the arrival of the South Chen navy fleet.

Compared with the newly enthroned emperor of South Chen, the other person who came with him made everyone on the pier look forward to it.

Finally the fleet arrived, and watched helplessly as the hatch opened, and under the protection of the guards, that familiar figure appeared on the shore.

Wu Jie couldn't help covering her mouth. And Emperor Zhengen and Concubine Lu Gui who came to the side of the pier were even more distressed, crying bitterly. can't wait to rush up and hug son in arms.

Wu Jie looked at that long-lost face. She hadn't seen her for several years. The elder brother of the prince became taller and thinner. There was more melancholy in the handsome brows, but more calm.

Wu Zhen did not die. A few years ago, the Xiao Zhou family sent a navy to attack and intercept the soldiers and horses of Dongyue going north to marry. After World War I, the ship of Dongyue was sunk, and Wu Zhen was captured and returned to South Chen. Jian Ye City.

It wasn't that Empress Xiao Zhou was merciful, but that she wanted to hold the prince hostage in her hands, so that she could blackmail Dongyue in the future, and secretly turn back when the Northern Wei Dynasty came to attack, so she deliberately concealed the news.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Tiankang became seriously ill, and Empress Xiao Zhou was busy eliminating dissidents from the court and gathering power, and the Northern Wei Dynasty did not go south to attack, so Wu Zhen, the hostage, has been idle. Until Chen Jiao returned to Capital City and regained the throne. Knowing this, he summoned Wu Zhen to his side.

After being under house arrest for several years, Wu Zhen is still handsome and elegant. The Little Zhou family didn't deliberately abuse people, but locked them in a garden villa. From the initial resentment to the calmness of resigning to fate, Wu Zhen read and wrote day and night, and enjoyed himself for several years.

Chen Jiao summoned him to his side, admired him quite a lot, and quickly notified Dongyue of the matter, and said that he would be released someday. Now, taking advantage of his opportunity to come to East Vietnam to negotiate, he brought him back by the way.

At the same time, there was another person who came back with Wu Zhen.

Chi Rui's hem was full, tears streaming out of his eyes uncontrollably, "Princess, servant girl...greetings to you."

Looking at the maid who grew up with her, Wu Jie was full of joy, and asked with concern: "Have you not been wronged for more than a year?"

Before Chi Rui could reply, a lazy voice sounded from behind: "Hey, no matter how poor my character is, I wouldn't make things difficult for a little girl like her."

Seeing Chen Jiao approaching quickly, Wu Jie looked up and down carefully, but there were no injuries. It seemed that he escaped in time from the previous fire.

Chen Jiao didn't stop until she walked in front of her, and said with a smile, "I told you before that there is a gift."

Wu Jie glared at him, and said angrily, "You didn't tell me earlier." She only thought that the so-called gift was Chi Rui's return, but she never expected that there would be such a surprise as Wu Zhen.

Then she thought, no wonder this guy is willing to put the place of peace talks in Xinshao City. She was surprised before that Dongyue's position had already leaned towards the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he was a life-and-death enemy with Nanchen. How about choosing Xinshao City for peace talks?

Only now do know why.

"There will be a surprise if I don't tell you." Chen Jiao talked to Wu Jie with a smile.

The two talked in a familiar and natural way. Concubine Lu and Wu Wan watched from the side, dumbfounded.

Why did my daughter look so familiar with South Chen, the newly enthroned emperor? Have the two ever met? The daughter entered the harem of the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Isn't it that the palace has been locked up since then? How can there be a chance to meet a strange man, and he is still the king of a country.

Could it be that I remembered wrongly, my daughter married into the South Chen Palace?

Princess Lu couldn't help turning her head back quietly, and glanced at the Northern Emperor standing on the far side.

The young and handsome emperor was also looking at this side, staring at these two people, his eyes were cold, but the expression on his face did not seem to be surprised.

what's going on? Princess Lu was stunned.

To welcome Chen Jiao into the city, the palace naturally had a grand banquet. Finally got to the end of the etiquette round.

After returning to the palace, Princess Lu couldn't bear it any longer, and hurriedly dragged her daughter into the bedroom.

Wu Wan followed suit and pricked up her ears.

"You go out first." Princess Lu ordered her little daughter with a straight face.

Wu Wan dawdled for a long time before reluctantly walking out.

Princess Lu stared at her eldest daughter seriously: "What's going on?"

Wu Jie had thought before that telling her experience of the past two years would scare her mother, but she couldn't think about it, so she could only tell the whole thing in as plain a tone as possible. It's just that there are some details, such as Chen Jiao's private matters such as detoxification for herself, she just covered it up.

Fortunately, Prince De already knew the inside story about her replacing Zifen and told Princess Lu. Concubine Lu had this mysterious experience as her foundation, so she was not so shocked that she lost her composure after hearing what happened to her daughter later.

Rao is like this, it took a long time to come back to his senses. couldn't help feeling sad again, holding daughter and crying for a long time.

Not to mention the hardships she had suffered all the way to the north, her beloved daughter who was raised by him since she was a child, she also experienced many twists and turns in the emperor's harem.

"Mother and concubine, everything is over, isn't my daughter fine now?" Wu Jie comforted her mother.

It took a long time for Princess Lu to stop her tears and asked, "It's just that even if you are acquainted with King South Chen, you shouldn't be so rash. If you return to the palace in the future, what will the emperor think of you if he remembers this?"

Yuan Jing really minded, but... Wu Jie lowered her head, "My daughter actually doesn't want to go back after this trip."

"What?" Princess Lu was taken aback. This world has never heard of a married concubine returning to her natal family. The emperor's concubine can be thrown into the cold palace, can be sentenced to death and strangled, but she has never been released outside.

Wu Jie pursed her lips, "Before, the emperor also agreed to my departure." Although there were many variables in the middle, and the guy said he would back down again, but now that his spirit has stabilized, the previous promise should still count... right?

Concubine Lu frowned and said, "That's because there are frequent wars in the north, so we'll send you back for temporary refuge. How can we generalize." The Northern Wei Dynasty also sent news before, saying that Wu Jie was going back to her hometown to visit her relatives.

Wu Jie lowered her head and said, "My daughter didn't want to leave her hometown and marry far away in the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Princess Lu thought for a while, then suddenly opened her eyes wide, "If you come back, do you want to marry South Chen again?"

She continued: "Speaking of which, the new king of South Chen is quite a good person. After he succeeded to the throne, he sent envoys to restore the old relationship with us, proposed many conveniences for trade and trade, and sent people into the palace to reprimand us. Empress Chen gave her a meal and told her to keep her own place."

The person behind Empress Chen is Empress Xiao Zhou, and many of Empress Xiao Zhou's henchmen have ransacked their homes and exterminated their clans. Naturally, Empress Chen dare not be arrogant anymore.

"Now His Highness the Prince has been sent back again. It can be called a generation of benevolent monarchs."

Ren Jun... The corners of Wu Jie's mouth twitched, she really couldn't connect these two words with Chen Jiao. But this guy might indeed be a good emperor. At least compared to the prodigal stuff of Shen Ruidi.

But mother concubine, you are thinking too far away, didn't you just believe that I would stay at home, why did you suddenly jump to remarry?

Concubine Lu paused for a moment, then realized that she could not marry like this. She just came out of the Northern Wei emperor's harem and married the South Chen king. Isn't that a naked slap in the face of the Northern Wei emperor? In 2009, when the rumors die down, let your uncle give you another title and marry South Chen."

Wu Jie really couldn't bear it anymore. "Mother and Concubine, I don't have to get married, wouldn't it be nice just to stay at home?"

Princess Lu shook her head and said, "Stop talking nonsense, why don't girls marry?"

"My daughter will stay at the knees of her father and concubine to be filial to the two elders, and never leave." Wu Jie has lived through such days for more than ten years, wishing for such a warm and peaceful time in her life.

"Silly boy, my mother also wants to keep you by my side for a long time, but my father and mother are both older than you. One day, we will leave you. Wan'er will also get married. Are you going to be alone at that time?" Ever been alone?"

"It should be noted that a person's life is not just the family relationship between parents and sisters, there are more feelings that need to be experienced. You are still so young, how can you be alone all your life?"

Wu Jie lowered her head, "Even if you are alone, as long as your life is happy, that's fine."

"But today's world is harsh on women after all. If you want to live alone, unless you become a monk and cultivate yourself, in such a difficult life, you will be gone when your father, queen and queen are gone, and no one will take care of you when you are far away on the mountain. The desolateIt’s like a walking dead.” Then, Concubine Lu sighed, “If one day in the future, women can also study and work, it would be great to study knowledge. My son is so smart... Sigh.” In this world, it is still for womenIt's too harsh, and you can only rely on your husband and children all your life. Although there are also resolute women who do not marry themselves, that road is far more difficult than imagined.

"If you don't want to marry far away, after two years, I will look carefully at the local family, and you will have good children." Princess Lu comforted her daughter in a gentle voice.

Wu Jie has black lines all over her head.She knows most of the noble sons in East Vietnam, but there is no one she wants to marry.

In terms of appearance, talent, learning and demeanor, they are not as good as Yuan Jing and Chen Jiao.
