Moonlight and wind

Chapter 322 The princess has arrived!

Shan Zimo jumped off the carriage, looked at the empty streets, and scratched his head.

"What's going on? How come there's no one to be seen all of a sudden?" The grand welcome ceremony that appeared in Dan Zimo's mind turned into bubbles and disappeared, leaving only the deserted streets and the swaying signs hanging on the shops.

"Maybe someone more important than you is here!" The tea master sneered lightly and didn't give Shan Zimo any chance at all. He drove the carriage towards the tea shop on his own.

"Hey!" Shan Zimo put his hands on his hips and looked like he was going to curse, "Are all Yuwenlin's tea masters so fierce?" Seeing the carriage going away, he had to quicken his pace to catch up.

On the streets near the Taishi Mansion, the doors of shops were closed and guards were standing in line. Judging from their attire, the people splashing water to clean the bluestone slabs should be people from the palace.

The bluestone slabs were already as smooth as new, and the palace servants wanted to wipe off all the lines on them!

"retreat!"

Following a loud shout, the palace servants instantly disappeared into the alleys on both sides of the street, standing with their heads hung.

"Ha! So you are here to welcome me!" Shan Zimo looked at the scene with a smile, and couldn't help but straightened his chest and raised his head!

The tea master's carriage stopped at one end of the street and then turned into an alley.

"Hey, isn't our shop opposite the Taishi Mansion?" Shan Zimo looked at the departing carriage and retracted his foot.

"Young master, you saw it too, why aren't you letting me go?" the tea master responded perfunctorily.

Shan Zimo lowered his head and smiled evilly, "You are still too naive." He raised his head, lifted his hair with both hands, and threw it back proudly, "This is prepared for this young master! No need to hide, follow me!"

That step finally took place.

With a clang, several long spears were pressed against Shan Zimo's chest. The blades reflected the guards' cold and ruthless eyes in the sunlight.

"Fork out!"

A sharp shout gave Shan Zimo goose bumps! This voice was obviously the voice of the eunuchs in the palace.

The tea master poked his head out of the alley and looked at the embarrassed Shan Zimo with a bit of sarcasm, "Young Master, please condescend to take this road!"

Shan Zimo looked at the guard who showed no intention of compromise, turned around angrily and walked towards the tea master.

"How high of an official is this?" Shan Zimo muttered, "What a coincidence, he came to the city on the same day as me, but he didn't get any limelight at all! Instead, he made himself look bad!"

Shan Zimo opened the curtain and jumped into the carriage. Everyone in the carriage blushed and avoided looking at each other, fearing that they would laugh out loud if they looked into each other's eyes!

However, Shan Zimo's carriage circled around in the alley, but when it reached the door of the store, it was stopped outside. Everyone had to stand outside quietly to see who was the big shot who had such a big show!

Just when Shan Zimo and others were getting a little impatient, melodious music came from the direction of the north gate of Cangwu City.

At this time, many people from nearby areas gathered around him. They quietly came out of their homes and hid in the alleys, wanting to catch a glimpse of the big man.

The huge front door of the Taishi Mansion opened, and several teams of guards ran out and lined up on both sides; the servants in the mansion also bowed their heads and knelt on both sides.

Finally, an energetic old man, dressed in luxurious clothes, came to the door surrounded by a crowd of people.

"Right Prime Minister!" The people around him were discussing excitedly in low voices, "It's worth it to have the honor of meeting the Right Prime Minister in this lifetime!"

"That's right!" The common people on the side echoed, "The Right Prime Minister took us refugees in and gave us food. He is a great benefactor! Even if I were to die for him now, I would be willing!"

When talking about the exciting parts, several people were already in tears!

"Could it be that this Right Prime Minister is not the same person as the Right Prime Minister we have heard of?" Li tilted his head curiously and glanced at his equally puzzled master.

"Rumors are always biased! After all..." Yijian stroked his beard, "Seeing is believing!"

"Looking at this situation, maybe the queen from the palace has returned!"

The people's words made Shan Zimo and his group even more excited about this important figure. They stretched their necks and wished they could push aside the guards and go to greet him in person!

The music was getting closer and closer, mixed with the rhythmic sound of horse hooves.

Soon, spots of light flickered on the shops on both sides of the street. That must be the sunlight reflected from the gorgeous decorations of the guard of honor.

A spot of light suddenly reflected on Shan Zimo's eyes. He quickly closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, that familiar face appeared in front of him.

At the front of the team were the mighty royal guards! And the leader was none other than Commander Yuan, who was riding on a tall horse!

Commander Yuan held his Overlord Spear in one hand and the reins in the other. He looked particularly majestic in his golden armor!

And the light reflected in Shan Zimo's eyes was exactly the cold light of the Overlord Spear that he had fought against before!

The moment Shan Zimo saw Commander Yuan clearly, he lost all his excitement. He sighed softly, turned his back, leaned against the carriage, and said no more.

"Hey!" Shan Boyu became excited and patted the disappointed Shan Zimo's shoulder tactlessly, "You really got what I said! Princess Jinyu is here!"

The guard of honor went further forward. After the royal guards, there were palace maids and eunuchs holding various musical instruments. The palace music also demonstrated the majesty of the royal family!

Finally, a golden carriage slowly drove over.

"See?" The people were even more excited. "This is a carriage made of pure gold! Look at the gems on it. Just one of them is enough to keep me alive for several lifetimes!"

"Princess Jinyu is the only daughter of Emperor Wu. It is never too much to love her!"

"I heard from relatives in the palace," the commoner suddenly lowered his voice, "Emperor Wu intends to make Princess Jinyu the crown prince!"

"What about the current crown prince?" The people looked at the whistleblower in disbelief. "There are still a few princes. Isn't there going to be another competition?"

The whistleblower waved his hands and said, "This is not something that ordinary people like you and me should consider!"

Princess Jinyu's carriage drove to Shan Zimo's side. The silk curtains were embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes.

Shan Zimo was very worried that Princess Jinyu would suddenly stick her head out from behind the curtains! He quickly hid back again, hiding himself completely in the shadow of the carriage.

Fortunately, there was no movement of the curtains on the carriage, and the golden carriage passed by Shan Zimo smoothly.

Princess Jinyu's team had arrived at the gate of Taishi Mansion. The music stopped abruptly, and the whole street was so quiet that one could hear one's own faint heartbeat.

The eunuch swiftly bent down and knelt in front of the carriage, waiting for Princess Jinyu to step on his back to get off.

Suddenly, the right prime minister gave an order to the attendant beside him, and the attendant appeared beside the eunuch and whispered a few words. The eunuch hesitated for a moment, then stood up and stepped aside following the attendant.

At this time, two servants came running over from the corner gate of the Taishi Mansion, carrying a stool and placed it next to the carriage. The two men knelt on both sides of the stool, holding it with both hands, without moving.

The palace maid lifted the curtain, and Princess Jinyu, with the help of the palace maid, poked her head out of the carriage, glanced at the bench under the carriage, smiled slightly, and stepped on the bench to get off the carriage.

"Uncle still loves the people like his own children!"
