Chapter 2764 2766【Arrived in Beijing】
The convoy traveled on the road for 20 days, and finally arrived at Shangjing in the Rich Dynasty.
"Wow~" Although Qu Xiaofeng had been reminded by Xiang Nan, she was still taken aback when she actually saw Shangjing.
I didn’t expect Shangjing to be so prosperous. With so many pedestrians, so many shops, and so many carriages and horses, it is really much more prosperous than Yanzhi City.
Yanzhi City in Xizhou has a maximum of 100,000 people. In comparison, Shangjing has a population of over one million. It's really admirable to raise your sleeves and sweat like rain.
"How about it, it's very prosperous." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Qu Xiaofeng nodded, "Then can I play in the street?"
"I'm afraid it's a little troublesome. The royal family has strict rules. Neither the prince nor the princess can leave the palace at will, let alone the princess." Xiang Nan explained.
"Ah?! Why is this?" Qu Xiaofeng felt very helpless when he heard it.
She doesn't have these rules in Western State. Although she is the ninth princess of Xizhou, she can often go out of the palace to play, and even compete with the people, so there are so many troubles.
"But don't worry, I will help you." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Really?!" Qu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up again.
"Really." Xiang Nan nodded, "We are good friends."
"Thank you." Qu Xiaofeng suddenly became happy.
…
After returning to Shangjing, Xiang Nan first went to see Emperor Li Zhen.
"You have made a lot of achievements in the campaign against Danchi this time, which makes me quite satisfied." Li Zhen praised.
"This campaign against Danchi is thanks to the second emperor's brother's strategizing, the guard Gao Xian, and the general Pei Zhao's courageous efforts. My boy is just doing a little bit." Xiang Nan said modestly.
"From now on, you must do your best to serve the country." Li Xi nodded.
"Yes, Father, the child will definitely do his best." Xiang Nan said immediately.
"Well, your Prince Yi's Mansion is already under construction, and it will be completed soon. At that time, you can start building your mansion." Li Xi said again.
"The child would rather stay in the palace, and always be with his father, mother, and empress dowager to show his filial piety." Xiang Nan said again.
Li Xi nodded, "Okay, go see your mother. You have been away for so long, and she has been worried about you."
"Yes, Royal Father." Xiang Nan bowed, and then backed out.
…
"The child pays homage to the queen." Xiang Nan came to the queen's palace again.
"My son, please get up quickly and let my mother take a look." Zhang Meiniang immediately picked him up, and then couldn't help but her eyes were red, "Oh, I've lost a lot of weight."
"Thank you mother for your concern." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "The baby is not thin, but strong."
Zhang Meiniang nodded, "Yin'er, this time you have made great achievements in the western region, and mother is very happy for you."
"This is also thanks to Cousin Gao Xian for his help, otherwise I am a bare-handed commander, how could I have made such a great contribution." Xiang Nan said modestly.
Actually, he was in the western region this time, and he did not enjoy the glory of Gao Xian. Danchi Wang Zhang was found by himself, and he took advantage of Pei Zhao's soldiers to capture Wang Zhang. Gao Xian didn't help him from the beginning to the end, and even almost became a pig teammate.
But Gao Xian is Zhang Meiniang's cousin after all, and Xiang Nan doesn't want to speak ill of him in front of her.
Zhang Meiniang smiled and nodded, "That's what my son can do."
"Mother, thunder, rain and dew are all God's blessings. The child is satisfied to be crowned King Yi." Xiang Nan said with a smile when he heard it.
"Oh, I'm still sensible." Zhang Meiniang nodded.
"By the way, Queen Mother, I brought you some good things from the western region." Xiang Nan clapped his hands as he spoke, and the servant came in with three treasure boxes in his hands.
Xiang Nan opened them one by one.
The first treasure box contains an emerald necklace. Each emerald is as big as a peanut, and the largest one hanging below is as big as a pigeon egg, which is extremely precious.
The second treasure box contains a pair of cat's-eye rings. Under the light, the cat's-eye gemstones shimmer and shine, crystal clear, and they can be called rare treasures.
The last treasure box was filled with a fur made of snow fox fur. The whole body was as white as snow and as bright as silver, without even a stray hair.
Although Zhang Meiniang is a queen and is rich all over the world, when she saw these three gifts, she was overjoyed with laughter.
It wasn't because of how expensive these gifts were, but mainly because they were all given by Xiang Nan, and they were carefully prepared at first glance, which made her naturally satisfied.
"My son really has a heart." Zhang Meiniang laughed.
…
Xiang Nan then went to see the Empress Dowager, and sent her a letter from Aunt Mingyuan.
"Okay, Mingyuan said that she is in good health, which is really a good thing." After reading the letter, the Empress Dowager smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Aunt Mingyuan is a lucky person, and she has her own blessings." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "By the way, grandma, I bought some requiem incense from the western region, which will help you sleep."
"Okay, my great-grandson has a heart." The Empress Dowager nodded.
It seems that Li Chengye and Li Feng also returned to Shangjing from the western region early, and they also visited her in the palace. But the gift he gave was just a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, so there was no intention at all.
Xiang Nan still has the heart, knowing that she can't sleep well, so he always helps her collect some prescriptions to help her fall asleep.
The so-called raising a child should not be spent on gold and silver, but on seeing the situation. In fact, as the Empress Dowager, gold, silver and jewels are useless to her, far less comfortable than a sense of security.
"Grandma, your long life is what we all hope for." Xiang Nan laughed.
"What a great grandson, you can really talk." The Empress Dowager nodded and smiled.
…
After meeting the Empress Dowager, Xiang Nan called on Prime Minister Gao at night.
"Uncle, this time I am in the western region, thanks to the help of cousin Gao Xian, I can make great contributions to the court." He smiled and said to Gao Ming.
"Well, Xian'er also wrote back, praising His Royal Highness Yi Wang for his intelligence, ability and courage." Gao Ming nodded and smiled.
"Don't dare, uncle praised you." Xiang Nan smiled, and then said, "By the way, uncle, I brought you a special gift from the western region."
As he spoke, he opened the treasure box, and inside was a gilt-bronze Buddha statue, with benevolent brows and kind eyes, and a solemn treasure appearance. He held a medicine vessel in his left hand and a three-world seal in his right hand. It was a Medicine Buddha.
"This is a pharmacist Buddha statue I specially obtained for my uncle from the Thousand Buddhas Temple in the Western Territory. It was consecrated by an eminent monk in the Western Territory. I hope to bless my uncle with a healthy body and a long life." Xiang Nan explained.
"Well, thank you, Your Highness." Gao Ming took a look and nodded in satisfaction.
For him, golden Buddha, silver Buddha, and jade Buddha are not uncommon, the key is Xiang Nan's filial piety to him.
Xiang Nan came back from the western region and wanted to ask for a statue of the Buddha of Medicine Master for him. This kind of intention alone is hard to come by. He is naturally happy.
"Uncle, you're welcome." Xiang Nan smiled, and then asked for advice, "By the way, Uncle, what do you think is the meaning of this time, my father named me King Yi?"
"Your Highness, don't worry. Thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace." Gao Ming waved his hands and said, "Don't you smell that the rafters are rotten first, and it's not a bad thing to be slow."
"Hearing what my uncle said, I have confidence in my heart." Xiang Nan nodded when he heard that,
