Half an hour ago.

A carriage covered with snow on the canopy was parked at the city gate.

Shangguan Qing lifted the curtain and poked his head out.

He looked at the towering city tower and asked in surprise: "Is the capital in front... it is?"

"Yeah." Xiao Heng nodded, lifted the curtain a little, looked at the endless crowd, and said, "There are many people entering and leaving the capital in the twelfth lunar month, and they are not so crowded on weekdays."

"It's not bad," said Shangguan Qing.

Zhao Kingdom is a lower country. Although it is not as rich as Yan Kingdom, the court has a stable foundation and the people live and work in peace and contentment. There are many praises to the court and the emperor.

You should know that the king of Yan State was a tyrant, and most of the folk remarks about him were negative.

But he was very good at it, and no one dared to resist under tyranny.

Xiao Heng smiled. Zhaoguo is not strong enough now, but he believes that one day, Zhaoguo will definitely become one country.

It requires the efforts of many people, and may even be the efforts of several generations, but as long as you don’t give up, there will be hope.

"Do you want to take a break?" Xiao Heng asked Shangguan Qing.

When Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao went from Zhaoguo to Yanguo, they both took land routes, many checkpoints and detours. Because they did not have the privileges of the royal family, they could not walk many official roads, which greatly delayed the process and took nearly two months to arrive in Shengdu.

When they came back this time, they used the identity of Emperor Changsun, walked through the official food and grass road dedicated to the court, and changed the water route in the second half.

They were lucky and started to freeze when they got on the shore.

It took a whole month to leave from early November to early twelfth lunar month.

"No, I'm not tired." Shangguan Qing said.

It’s fake not to be tired. Xiao Heng is tired, let alone he is a patient?

But the two brothers knew that Shangguan Qing had not had much time, and it was a miracle to survive until now. Every step he took was on the roof of the Hall of Hell, and he would fall down at some point.

The carriage entered the city.

Although Shangguan Qing was so tired, he still did not miss the opportunity to carefully appreciate the capital.

"So many candied haws sell." He exclaimed.

There are very few in Yan State.

It is also difficult to see a candied haw vendor on the street. There are actually many shops here that sell candied haws.

Xiao Heng asked the coachman to park the carriage in front of a candied haws shop and bought a bunch of them for each flavor.

"Give."

He handed Shangguan Qing a handful of candied haws in his hand.

"The candied haws were passed from Zhao Kingdom." Shangguan Qing picked a bunch of big and red, "It was not originally found in Yan Kingdom."

So do you like to eat candied haws because you miss your hometown?

Xiao Heng looked at him eating silently.

Shangguan Qing actually didn't have much appetite, so he took it and played with it for a few times.

"Or..." he paused and said, "Let's go later?"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Heng asked.

Shangguan Qing looked at the candied haws in his hand and hesitated: "I...what..."

Xiao Heng asked with a funny look, "Are you nervous?"

"No!" Shangguan Qing denied it.

Xiao Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will be very happy to see you."

Shangguan Qing whispered: "I'm not um, I can't um."

The last two words of each sentence were unclear. Xiao Heng only heard a tone, but Xiao Heng still savored the four words based on his telepathy with his brothers.

——I am not the top scholar, I can’t study.

Such a proud and arrogant brother is so unconfident, and it really fulfills the saying: When you care too much about a person's opinion, you will become worried about gains and losses.

Xiao Heng smiled slightly and said, "Mom will like you."

Shangguan Qing curled his lips: "Look at your appearance and you will know which kind of son she likes."

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows: "Did you secretly recite poems because of this?"

Shangguan Qing was shocked and said, "Where can I recite poems?"

Xiao Heng laughed so hard.

They are really brothers. One carries his wife and exercises his body and strengthens his strength, while the other carries a poem and a famous line in secret.

My stupid son always wants to see his mother. As the sun is approaching, the carriage arrives at Zhuque Street.

Shangguan Qing hesitated and refused to get off the car.

After finally getting off the car, I stood in the alley against the wall and refused to go over.

Xiao Heng was amused and crying.

Isn’t he quite a thick-skinned person? Why are he more shy than me when it comes to meeting his mother?

The brothers came to stand in the alley diagonally opposite for a long time. Xiao Heng saw Xiao Jingkong leaving, and Shangguan Qing followed Xiao Heng slowly.

This is how the snowflakes on the two of them came from.

Princess Xinyang didn't react at first, who was calling for by her brother, but when Shangguan Qing, wearing a crescent white cloak, grabbed a string of candied haws and crossed the threshold, Princess Xinyang's steps suddenly stopped!

The wind around seemed to suddenly stop, and snowflakes fell in large patches, making the whole yard very quiet.

Her eyes fell on the handsome face that was somewhat similar to Xiao Heng, and her breathing stopped and her heartbeat was missed!

A call to brother doesn't prove anything.

Xiao Heng is not without his brother.

but.

Her heart suddenly hurt.

It hurts so much, it hurts so much!

Why does her heart hurt so much when she looks at this person?

My eyes became uncontrollably hot and my throat was swelling and painful.

"Mom, brother is back." Xiao Heng said.

Then the next second, he also stopped.

His eyes slid from Princess Xinyang's beautiful face to her high bulging belly.

etc.

He has only been gone for nine months. What is going on?

Shangguan Qing had been so nervous that he was stunned, his mind was buzzing and he couldn't think at all.

Xiao Heng guessed right. Shangguan Qing was definitely more nervous than Xiao Heng when it comes to seeing his mother.

All his shame that he had not wanted for these years was now used on Princess Xinyang.

OK, what should I do if I’m so shy?

Shangguan Qinghou realized that he was still holding a candied haw in his hand.

It’s all my fault that I’m too nervous and forgot to put such a childish thing back on the carriage.

What should I do?

His mature and cold image!

Yu Jin was also very excited. Who is this "brother" brought back by the little marquis? Judging from his age, he is similar to the little marquis, so shouldn't he be—

No, no, no?

Isn’t Mr. Xiao Qing dead?

"Master, princess..." She looked at Princess Xinyang under the corridor in disbelief.

Princess Xinyang was already breathless at this moment. Her pregnancy changed her body. Under the influence of hormones, tears came to her as soon as possible, not like the arrogant and cold she used to be.

Xiao Heng pulled his stupid brother to Princess Xinyang and whispered to Princess Xinyang: "Mom, let's go into the house and talk."

...

The mother and son entered the house.

Yu Jin was also serving him.

Xiao Heng sat in the middle, Princess Xinyang and Shangguan Qing face to face.

Princess Xinyang looked at the child and couldn't stop her hot tears.
