Chu Junlan was afraid that Xiao Xu would be embarrassed. Shangguan in the Crown Prince's army was not friendly to Xiao Xu and wanted to take leave and go back to the royal palace. But this time he wanted to accompany her to travel far away. How could Shangguan agree?

But unexpectedly, Xiao Xu stayed at home the next day.

When asked about the reason, Xiao Xu just laughed.

Chu Junlan snorted and pinched Xiao Xu's cheek: "Why, Xu Xu and me have a secret now?"

When she said the word "Xuxu", her voice was so soft that it made her whole body numb. Xiao Xu couldn't resist it. Every time she heard it, her face turned red and her heart beat, and she could only defeat her.

Besides, he really has a secret.

"I'll go and ask for the itinerary. This place is about half a month away from Anping Prefecture. The prefectures and county offices along the way should also inform you in advance."

If Chu Junlan and Chu Huating return home, they would just bring their guards and followers. But Xiao Xu planned to go with him, so the ceremonial guards could not be simple. Notifications in advance would make it easier for local security in various places to maintain good local safety and avoid causing trouble.

Chu Junlan smiled and said, "It seems you plan to give me a glory once."

Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "I will also order someone to go and prepare to welcome him."

With Xiao Xu intervened, Chu Junlan didn't have to worry at all. In the past two days, he just returned to the Duke of Mao's mansion to talk to the old lady, explaining the preparations for his return home. Then he went to Chu's house in Shichahai and agreed on the itinerary with Chu Huating.

When Chu Huating wants to travel, he naturally has to take leave with his master, and he also needs to prepare in advance.

Xiang Yixin carefully packed his luggage for Chu Huating, but he didn't plan to go: "Although I'm different now than before, and my voice has changed, I still have to be more cautious. I'm relieved to go out with my sister and brother-in-law."

When Chu Huating looked at Xiang Yixin, his eyes were full of tenderness and he said reluctantly: "It's just that I'm not at ease that you stay at home."

"What are I worried about here?" Xiang Yixin smiled, "I am a female person. I don't have any danger when I don't go out of the gate on weekdays. Just rest assured."

If they had gone elsewhere, Chu Huating would have taken Xiang Yixin with him long ago, but this time they were going to meet Chu Cailiang to ask about the past. They were afraid that people would find out that Xiang Yixin was Lu Xiangxiang, and they would cause trouble at that time and would most likely affect Chu Huating's career path, so they had to give up.

The group left the capital with a low profile, but when they left the capital and passed by various places, Xiao Xu set up a guard of honor for the prince and the prince, and made great contributions along the way.

At this time, the spring scenery was just right, and they were not in a hurry to rush on the road. Instead, they were traveling around. Xiao Xu would deliberately stop by the larger town for a day or two and take Chu Junlan around to take a look. Chu Junlan was suppressing his mother's affairs in his heart. He was not in the mood at first, but Xiao Xu appreciated her arrangement like this, and she naturally felt much more happy.

They must live together when they stayed in the house, but Chu Junlan couldn't understand why Xiao Xu had always been in love with her and was polite. She could feel that Xiao Xu had changed a lot from the past, and she didn't even have kisses anymore, let alone fulfilling her, but she couldn't say that he had changed his heart because he was still very good to her.

Just as Chu Junlan was suppressing his doubts and relaxing with Xiao Xu, the Chu family in Anping Prefecture was not in a good mood.

"That evil man, if you climb up to a high branch and live your life alone, you will never interact with each other in the future, so as not to be disgusting. Why did you come to me to show off your might?" Chu Cailiang threw the letter to the ground and paced back and forth with his hands on his back.

The old lady also scolded: "She is not our girl anymore. She wants to come to our family and even get money to welcome her. Now our family is counting on a few acres of land. Where can we get the money to welcome her?"

"That's right, my elder brother is a scholar. Although I don't know how to grow up, I should know that life is difficult. There are so many brothers in my family, and my sister is waiting to get married, so the money depends on the public school. Now that I'm going to do this again, I won't answer any questions to use the public school silver to welcome the prince's concubine." The second aunt's voice was sharp.

Chu Cailiang was so angry that he was half-dead that he was not good at quarrel with a woman.

Now he is a phoenix with hair falling from hair. Since he fled back to the countryside with his concubine and children, he has been angry all day long and has to listen to some gossip.

Now that I heard my mother and brothers and sisters say this, Chu Cailiang couldn't hold his face and said with his neck in a stuttering way: "You guys are thinking a little bit. Although the emperor means it, Chu Junlan is my own seed. She came back to see me for the sake of filial piety. Although our family used some money to welcome us, they would not lose our family. Not to mention anything else, we will get along with Prince Gong and have more face in our family. Even if we talk about marriage, isn't there a little more to say?"

The old lady's eyes lit up: "It seems that the same reason is true when you say this."

The second aunt also smiled and said, "Don't be angry, uncle, I'm just such a straightforward temperament. Since that's the case, let's start preparing too."

For greater benefits in the future, the Chu family also began to organize.

Chu Junlan followed Xiao Xu's ceremonial guard and entered Anping Mansion. He saw the local prefect come out to greet him. The prefect was named Zhou, who was about fifty years old, and was thin and very kind. When he saw Xiao Xu's warm conversation, he could hear from his words that he had a close relationship with Prince Gong.

After the warm welcome, Xiao Xu and his party were sent to the county town in person.

When the local commander Liu Qi heard the news, he immediately brought the county magistrate and the master out to greet him.

"I ordered someone to inform you, and I said that Prince Gong and Princess and his party had arrived at the county town, and I was appointed as the Chu family to prepare to welcome you."

"Go now." Zaoli immediately saluted and went to report the news as if he was coquettish.

The Chu family originally thought that it would be enough to clean the house, but the prince actually put forward such a big battle. The prefect, the magistrate and the old people in the village went to greet him personally. As the main host of the reception, the Chu family naturally could not neglect it.

When the neighbors went on a blind date, they were envious of the Chu family who had welcomed such a distinguished guest.

Although the old lady, Chu Cailiang, Chu Caijun and others were impatient, they were also glorious in their faces. When the girls from the Chu family heard the news, they all brought their son-in-law with them. Even the fiancés of the unmarried girls were included, and a long line was formed on both sides of the road.

At first, neighbors and villagers were still talking about it, praising the old lady for her blessing.

But with the arrival of the ceremonial ceremony of the prince and the magistrate's carriage, everyone lost the courage to discuss.

Any ordinary people have ever seen such an expensive car? The ones who are dressed neatly and tall in the back should be the guards of the royal palace, right?

The carriage stopped slowly, and the prefect Zhou and Liu County all politely greeted the most luxurious Zhu Luan Liusu carriage.

The one who got off the bus first was Xiao Xu, wearing a silver-white feather satin embroidered cloud-rolled patterned prince's clothes and a jade-like body. Then the one who got off the bus was Chu Junlan, wearing an arrow-sleeved jacket of the same color and a red eight-spoke skirt.

When the two got off the car, the prefect Zhou and the prefect Liu made a gift.

The old man in the village took the lead in ceremonies, so the Chu family naturally dared not be exceptional. The old lady, Chu Cailiang and others are now white, so they can only kneel down with the villagers.
