Chapter 377 Arrival at Prince Dun's Residence
Pointing to the brightly lit area, his voice rose slightly with excitement: "Look, those lit places are streets, they are markets."
That place is... that is, the capital city, the imperial palace..."
Seeing her surprised expression, Dongfang Jin reached out and patted her head tenderly, interrupting her from what she was about to say.
When she took them away from the capital, Dongju said that the girl had been unconscious when she entered the capital.
After waking up, she stayed in the woodshed, perhaps unaware of where it was.
"Don't shout, or the people below will hear you."
As soon as she said that, the children immediately covered their mouths and shook their heads.
Shen Qihui stood on the auspicious carpet, straightened his back, looked down, and stared wide-eyed.
With his mouth slightly agape and his face full of amazement, he whispered, "I never imagined that the capital city at night would be such a completely different place, far more prosperous than I had imagined."
Gu Jingye stood beside him, arms crossed, his expression calm. He took a deep breath and sighed, "Brightly lit and bustling, it truly lives up to its name as the capital."
He secretly wondered if he would finally be able to see his uncle and aunt this time.
There are also my older cousins, younger cousins, and cousins from my mother and father who came back from the capital last time.
They sent a lot of things for their parents to take to their siblings.
Helian Jingyun gently stroked her belly, a hint of surprise flashing across her face. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "It's only been half a year since I left, but I didn't expect the people below to be so efficient."
In an instant, a relieved smile appeared on her face, and she said gently, "It's really a pleasant surprise. The abilities of Ziyu (Hua Yunshu's courtesy name) and Yuchuan (Helian Shuo's courtesy name) and the others far exceed my expectations."
It is truly a blessing for my husband to have made such good friends. With their help, many things will go much more smoothly.
Besides that, Helian Jingyun's thoughts involuntarily drifted to the person in front of her—Dongfang Jin.
Helian Jingyun knew in her heart that everything she had now was because of the appearance of Dongfang Jin.
Master Jingkong once said that only this person can help her husband realize his dream and govern Donglin Kingdom to restore the prosperity of Cangsheng Kingdom in the past.
This was a vision she never dared to even dream of, but now, everything is steadily moving in that wonderful direction...
The auspicious carpet pierced the night and slowly descended into the courtyard of the Prince Dun's Mansion, instantly breaking the tranquility of the night.
Hearing the commotion, the guards of the Prince's mansion quickly surrounded the area from all directions, gripping their weapons tightly and looking vigilant.
When they saw the group of uninvited guests who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, they were all dumbfounded, their faces full of surprise.
"What...what's going on?" a guard asked, his eyes wide.
His voice was filled with undisguised shock, and his hand gripping the knife hilt tightened involuntarily.
He secretly wondered whether these mysterious people were friend or foe.
Azure Dragon's figure flashed out from the shadows like a ghost: "Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Majesty..."
"Everyone step back. What you saw today must not be told to anyone." Cang Nanxi walked out with steady steps, his hands behind his back, and stood at the edge of the Ruyi Carpet.
The voice was deep and authoritative, as if carrying an irresistible force, instantly interrupting Canglong's words.
The guards, though filled with doubt upon hearing their prince's order, dared not utter a single question.
He could only obediently lower his head, secretly speculating about the bizarre scene that had unfolded that night.
His heart was filled with awe, knowing that the prince's orders could not be disobeyed.
Cang Nanxi beckoned Canglong to come closer and whispered a few words in Canglong's ear.
The Azure Dragon nodded slightly, then its figure flashed and quickly disappeared into the night.
Dongfang Jin moved swiftly, jumping off the Ruyi Carpet first. With a gentle smile on her face, she said to the guards, "Excuse me, everyone."
Dongfang Yuan followed closely behind, her expression serious and her tone carrying an unquestionable authority: "This is your home, there's no need to be so polite. Besides, it's their duty."
"If you weren't so secretive about your identity, your father and I would have held a banquet at the palace long ago to reveal it."
Dongfang Yuan looked at her daughter with eyes full of tenderness. Thinking of the hardships her daughter had endured over the years, she felt a pang of sadness.
As a princess, she possessed her own pride and dignity, but when facing her daughter, all that remained was tenderness and guilt.
Cang Nanxi stepped forward, her posture upright, and said domineeringly, "You are the little princess of our Cang family, you have nothing to fear from anyone."
As for your identity, it's entirely up to you when you want to reveal it.
After saying that, his eyes turned cold instantly, and he swept his gaze over the guards and bodyguards. His voice resounded like a bell throughout the surroundings: "This is my daughter, and also your master. From now on, when you see her, it will be as if you see me!"
Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the prince, the guards and secret agents all knelt on one knee and replied in unison, "Yes!"
He was deeply shocked and realized that the woman who had suddenly appeared was of noble status, and that he must serve her carefully from now on.
Ruyi, [Jin-jie, your dad is awesome!]
Indeed, a prince.
Dongfang Yuan looked at the kneeling person: "Get up, this is the Princess of the Prince Dun's Mansion."
All the guards and secret agents: "Your subordinates greet the Princess!"
It seems this princess is deeply favored by the prince and princess, and her status is even higher than that of the crown prince.
The prince had never said anything like that before, so they should be more polite to this little princess in the future.
Yes, we need to tell the others not to let those fools offend the young princess.
At this moment, Cang Kui, the head steward of the Prince's mansion, rushed over with a smile on his wrinkled face: "This old servant greets Your Highness, Your Highness, and Your Majesty the Empress."
Dongfang Jin raised her eyes and looked at the old butler in front of her.
Although the old butler was over sixty, his back was ramrod straight. The years had etched deep and shallow wrinkles on his face, and the white hair at his temples was neatly combed back.
He was wearing a long gown that was slightly faded but clean and tidy, and he exuded a calm and composed aura.
He stood with his hands folded in front of him, seemingly casual, but Dongfang Jin keenly noticed that the old butler's posture concealed a hidden meaning.
He stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, his center of gravity low, as stable as a pine tree rooted to the ground.
His arms appear relaxed, but they actually conceal strength; his slightly bent elbows seem ready to unleash astonishing power at any moment.
When the old butler turned around, his movements were light and fluid, showing no sign of old age.
With each step he took, his toes lightly touched the ground, like a dragonfly skimming the water, creating only the slightest sound.
His eyes seemed gentle, but the occasional glint of light in them was as sharp as an eagle's, revealing the alertness unique to a martial artist.
Inadvertently, Dongfang Jin also caught a glimpse of the old butler's forearm when he rolled up his sleeves. The muscles were firm, and the veins were slightly bulging, which were traces left by long-term kung fu practice.
However, they all seemed to ignore the Empress, suggesting that things weren't going well at Prince Dun's residence.
Dongfang Yuan gracefully jumped off the Ruyi Carpet, strode forward, and asked the waiting steward Cang Hai, "Steward, has anything happened in the manor these days?"
Cang Hai quickly bowed and respectfully replied, "Your Highness, everything is peaceful."
After answering, his gaze inadvertently fell on Dongfang Jin, and his eyes widened instantly. A look of astonishment flashed across his face, which was then replaced by joy.
He muttered to himself, "Is this our little princess? She's a spitting image of the princess."
His expression was as if he had discovered some rare treasure, his eyes filled with surprise and emotion.
Looking at the graceful Dongfang Jin before him, Cang Hai's thoughts drifted back to ten years ago.
At that time, the little princess was just a baby with a sweet voice, delicate and beautiful, with crescent-shaped eyes when she smiled, making her especially lovable.
