Chapter 218 First Arrival in the Capital
It seems likely that the Eldest Princess went to beg the emperor, Pei Zhiqi understood in his heart, and lamented that he had escaped; when he raised his head, his eyes met that of Captain Zheng.

Zheng Ji saw that Pei Zhiqi's expression moved a little, but the surprise was fleeting, and he quickly recovered his cold expression, looked at Vice General Shi, and forced him to retreat.

Deputy General Shi was frightened by the sudden imperial guards, staring blankly at the bright yellow scroll, not knowing what to do.

It wasn't until the soldiers dismounted one after another, put down their weapons, knelt on the spot, and shouted long live the emperor, that he came to his senses, staggered off the horse, knelt down slowly, and muttered in his mouth, the general will obey the order.

Everyone in the entering Beijing team got off their horses one after another, and Li Xiaodao also got off their horses, following the example of the others to salute the imperial decree.

The matter was quickly resolved, Vice-General Shi led the troops to evacuate, Zheng Ji dismounted and went to the carriage of Mrs. Pei of the entering Beijing team to pay respects, and then asked Liu Xin to command the team to start again.

It's just that no matter how enthusiastically Liu Xin greeted Captain Zheng, it was always a hot face with a cold ass, and the shaved guy was hot.

Pei Zhiqi didn't get off his horse, he rode beside Li Xiaodao's carriage, Li Xiaodao lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "It's too boring in the carriage, I'll go ride too!"

"It's too cold, my lady, just be patient, we'll be in the capital in a few hours, and now you're riding a horse and holding the rein, your hands will turn red from the cold," Pei Zhiqi smiled at her.

"Okay! Then I'll just take a nap, maybe I'll be there when I wake up!" After speaking, Li Xiaodao put down the curtain, wrapped the quilt next to him, and began to doze off pretendingly.

But where can she sleep?

Not to mention that I have just experienced a life-and-death situation, my heart is still pounding, thinking that I will arrive in the capital tonight, I don't know where I will end up in the capital?Who are we going to meet again?At this moment, I was both excited and a little uneasy.

Today is New Year's Eve, I wonder what kind of New Year's Eve will be this year?But no matter what, it should be better than fleeing in Anzhou last year...

Maybe it's because of excessive mental tension, you will feel tired when you relax, or the carriage is bumping up and down on the country dirt road, shaking, and Li Xiaodao, who is wrapped in a quilt, is dangling in the carriage, and he is gradually getting real. Confused about the past.

*

"My lady, my lady..."

The dazed Li Xiaodao heard a familiar voice, and then woke up from the dream of robbing the chicken legs at the New Year's Eve dinner. She rubbed her eyes and muttered: "...Mr.? The robbers are here again What? Why did the carriage stop?"

Pei Zhiqi lifted the back curtain of the carriage and shook his head with a smile: "Lady, I've arrived in the capital, I'll help you out of the carriage."

"Are you in the capital?" Li Xiaodao hurriedly patted his face to wake up, and then smoothed his hair with his hands. Then he got out from under the quilt. The knife trembled.

Seeing this, Pei Zhiqi took out a thick cotton cloak from the carriage, and when Li Xiaodao got out of the carriage, he quickly put it on for her.

Li Xiaodao, who had put on his cloak, wondered in a low voice: "Where are we going in the capital? Where are we going to settle down tonight..." While turning around, he couldn't tell without looking at it, and was startled when he saw it!
What is this place?No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an inn, and the official post doesn't have such an exaggerated house, right?Not to mention the tall red courtyard wall stretching hundreds of meters, just these two tall and large wooden doors, inlaid with gold and carved patterns, the thickness of the wooden doors is at least 10 centimeters or more... It looks like Full of momentum.

And what happened to the hundreds of people on both sides of the door who bowed respectfully and bowed their heads?This battle is too scary!
Is this... Prince Fuguo's Mansion?Would it be too reckless to come here directly?

If this is Prince Fuguo's mansion, then Concubine Yan should be in it. Could it be that from today onwards, I will live the life in Gongdou TV dramas, where I have to take a poison needle test before eating, and put a pillow on the bed at night and then... Want to get dressed and hide in the closet to sleep?

Thinking of these, Li Xiaodao suddenly felt shuddering.

She turned her head and glanced at Xianggong, but Xianggong still had a calm face and told her with his eyes that Mrs. Pei and Pei's father and mother have already got off the carriage and stood in front, and we have to catch up quickly.

Li Xiaodao nodded, stepped forward with Mr. Xiang, and stood behind Mrs. Pei.

Everyone stood steadily at the gate, but they didn't go in directly, as if they were waiting for someone.Li Xiaodao couldn't look around either, so he only looked around from the corner of his eye, and found that the clothes of the guards around him were in a new style, and the cavalry in golden armor and the cavalry led by Brother Liu had gone somewhere, and there were no signs of them at the door.

Looking up again, I saw the face of an old acquaintance.

It's Steward Li.

That's right, Manager Li is originally from the Fuguo Prince's Mansion, so it's not surprising that he appears here.

Li Guanshi also glanced in the direction of Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi as a greeting, then stepped forward to bow to Mrs. Pei and said: "Madam, please wait a little longer, the eldest princess said that she must come out to meet her personally, I don't know It was a temporary delay due to something."

Mrs. Pei only nodded, and smiled gently: "It's okay."

After a little while, there was only a burst of jingle bells, laughter and anxious footsteps coming from not far away.

The eldest princess is going to greet her in person, so will Concubine Yan also come?Li Xiaodao felt nervous for a while, and couldn't help but scratched the arm of his husband beside him.

Pei Zhiqi put his big hand over his little one, patted it lightly, and comforted her with a smile.

Li Xiaodao understood that he must be calm now and not mess up his hands and feet, so he took a deep breath and waited intently.

"Oh! I said I would wait at the door, and I blamed Lizi for shouting that it's cold outside. No, I went back to the house and took a nap, and you guys will be here!"

Before the person arrived, the voice came first, and just as the voice fell, a graceful and luxurious woman with gold beads and jade hairpins, wrapped in a scarlet brocade cloak, came out, followed by a long team of court ladies and attendants.

Seeing the woman come out, everyone bowed their heads and saluted: "I have seen the eldest princess!"

Li Xiaodao also imitated the others and saluted, then quietly raised his head to look at the Eldest Princess.

Although there are some traces of age in the corners of the eyes, under the meticulously modified pink and red makeup, his appearance is still very good-looking.Different from Mrs. Pei's simple elegance, not only her face is rounder, but also her brows are more lively.

The eldest princess stepped forward and directly held Mrs. Pei's hands, and said with a smile: "You are back! I am so worried to death waiting in the mansion every day!"

Mrs. Pei replied respectfully: "Let the princess worry about it."

"Quick! Let me see where our prince's own son is!"

Before she finished speaking, the eldest princess had already arrived in front of Pei Zhiqi: "Oh! It's true! It's so similar! It's so similar to the prince! Ha!"

The eldest princess simply pulled Pei Zhiqi out from behind Mrs. Pei, and pulled him in front of everyone: "Look! You all look at it! It's so similar! It turned out that Xiao Lizi told me that he looked very similar to me, but I couldn't believe how similar she was. Only when I saw me today did I really believe it! That’s all right! It’s the little prince in our house, that’s right!”
