Chapter 169 King Xiaoyao Arrives in Beichuan
Xia Youan quickly instructed Xing Yinan to order and pack the goods, and he sat back and waited to be paid. It felt so wonderful.
The holiday came to an end in busyness and joy, and the first batch of embroidery products received had been sent to Liang Luowen.
It’s just that it’s still in the early promotion stage, so the results won’t be seen so quickly.
King Xiaoyao and his family traveled day and night, changing horses and people at every post station, and the whole family slept in the carriage at night.
Because Chun'er was with them, the carriage didn't dare go too fast for fear of bumping her.
We finally arrived in Beichuan before sunset on the 6th.
"Father, is Sister Xia really here? Don't lie to me!"
Chun'er is already thirteen years old and has grown into a beautiful young lady.
In ancient times, a girl was considered an adult at the age of thirteen, and most families would start discussing marriage at this age.
Because of her heart disease, Chun'er has been delaying the marriage.
Seeing his precious daughter doubt him, King Xiaoyao feigned anger and asked, "Is my father that kind of person?"
"Hmph! Yes!"
"Hey, little girl, when did your father lie to you? If you don't tell me clearly, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
King Xiaoyao pretended to fight, but Chun'er was not afraid of him at all.
Chun'er raised her little face and said proudly, "When I was nine, you clearly told me that if I took my medicine obediently, Sister Xia would come to see me. But now I'm thirteen and Sister Xia still hasn't come. And you still said you didn't lie to me, humph!"
After saying that, he turned his head and ignored King Xiaoyao.
"Aren't you two tired of bickering with each other every day?" Princess Xiaoyao said with a headache as she looked at the father and daughter.
King Xiaoyao lay back and said nonchalantly, "It's so much fun bickering with my daughter. How could it be boring?"
In the carriage, a family of three was chatting happily, and suddenly they felt the bumpy ride was no longer there.
Chun'er asked doubtfully, "Father, why did the car suddenly become stable? It even seems to be going faster. Did you feel that?"
King Xiaoyao nodded, lifted the carriage curtain and took a look, "Come and see."
Princess Xiaoyao and Chun'er stuck their heads out at the same time and saw that the ground was pitch black but extremely flat.
"Father, the road here looks strange. Why is it so dark?"
"About this... Ask your brother Mo Yuan when you meet him later. This is his fiefdom, so maybe it was your brother Mo Yuan who did it."
Toot~
King Xiaoyao's carriage was startled to a stop by the noise.
Du Zuo had just returned from the glass factory. He looked at the large carriage moving slowly ahead, followed by a row of mounted guards.
Du Zuo felt that this person looked familiar, so he drove up quickly. After rolling down the window, he looked at the person in front of him and asked in surprise, "King Xiaoyao?"
The three people in the car were also surprised. What the hell is this?
King Xiaoyao jumped off the carriage and walked around the car. Du Zuo quickly turned off the engine and got out of the car.
"Your Highness, why didn't you send a message in advance? We thought it would take at least ten days to arrive."
King Xiaoyao's attention was completely drawn to the car, and he didn't hear what Du Zuo was saying.
"Did you just come out from here?" King Xiaoyao bent down and looked at Du Zuo sideways.
"Uh~yes. Prince, Princess, and Princess, how about I take you back to Prince Chu's Palace?"
"How does this move?" Before King Xiaoyao could get over his curiosity, Princess Xiaoyao and Chun'er also got off the carriage.
"Your Majesty, would you like to go up and experience it?"
"Can this king let it go?"
Du Zuo: “…”
Your Majesty, are you listening to me?
So tired!
"It's okay, but..."
"Then get out of the way and let me do it!"
"No, no, no, Your Highness, someone could die!" Du Zuo quickly stopped King Xiaoyao.
"Hey, Du Zuo, you're getting really bold now. You even dare to stop me?"
Du Zuo was about to cry. Whose naughty child is this? Take him away quickly!
"How could that be, Your Highness? I'm just afraid of accidents. You need a driver's license to drive this." Du Zuo said with a smile.
"Oh? What's a driver's license? Show it to me!"
Du Zuo: “…”
Too hasty, he hasn’t passed the exam yet!
"Hehe, Your Majesty, I haven't finished the test yet, but it will be soon. Why don't you take the princess and the princess into the car first?"
Du Zuo quickly changed the subject, fearing that King Xiaoyao would say something that would make him want to curse.
"How do I get up here?"
Du Zuo quickly opened the car door and said, "Please~"
After Prince Xiaoyao got in the car, Du Zuo opened the back door and said, "Princess, Princess, please sit in the back."
Finally got this big Buddha on the bus!
After the car started, King Xiaoyao and Chun'er turned into curious babies and kept asking questions along the way.
"This is called a cart. Why can't it just run without being pulled by animals?"
"How did it run?"
"Can I hold what you're holding?"
"What is the road made of? Why isn't it bumpy at all?"
……
Ask about cars and roads, but don't ask about the King of Chu and the King of Qi.
The car drove directly into the palace. A guard had come to report in advance that Chu Moyuan and the others were already waiting in the parking lot.
After the car stopped, Du Zuo opened the door for them.
Chun'er rushed out directly and almost knocked Xia Youan down.
Chu Moyuan quickly supported her and said in a reproachful tone, "Chun'er, don't be so reckless."
Chun'er stuck out her tongue and said, "I know, Brother Mo Yuan."
"Sister Xia, I miss you so much."
I originally wanted to go over and hug Xia Youan, but I was afraid of being scolded by Chu Moyuan again, so I didn't dare reach out to hug him.
Looking at Chun'er, who was as tall as himself, Xia Youan once suspected that he would become someone else's sister again.
Fortunately, no, I am still the elder sister.
"Chun'er has grown so tall now? She's a grown-up girl now! Welcome our princess to the Prince Chu's mansion."
"Uncle, aunt, and Chun'er, welcome." Chu Moyuan responded to Xia Youan and welcomed them.
King Xiaoyao glanced at everyone and looked at Xia Youan, who was supposed to be two years older than his princess. The corners of his mouth twitched and he didn't know what to say.
Then he looked at the high-spirited Chu Moyuan, the bright and handsome Chu Linzhou, and... wait, is this Shan Ronghao, who is only one year younger than him?
Even Qingying, Du Zuo and Du You looked much younger.
"Did you take some kind of elixir? If Mo Yuan were to be considered young, I would agree. But why do you, Shan Ronghao, look so much younger than you actually are?"
King Xiaoyao walked forward and looked at it carefully again.
They looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. Perhaps it was a matter of mentality, environment, and thoughts?
After all, in modern times, Shan Ronghao is not considered old.
Liang Peishan treated them like children all day long, so naturally she didn't look so old.
"Let's go, don't stand here. Chun'er must be exhausted after the long journey. Go to bed early after dinner. We still have to take Chun'er to see a doctor tomorrow." Chu Linzhou reminded.
Xia Youan naturally took Chun'er's arm and asked, "Did you feel well during the journey?"
Chun Er said coquettishly, "I'm fine, Sister Xia, it's just that my father and mother are too nervous."
