878 Bridal Chamber (1)
Although the journey was long, three months later, they safely arrived at the Daliang Dynasty.
Xie Jingxing’s team was quite fast. If it were an ordinary person, it would probably take them more than half a year to reach the Daliang Dynasty.
In her previous life and this life, Shen Miao had never been to the Daliang Dynasty. In her impression, the Daliang Dynasty was a very rich country. She heard that Long Ye was also very prosperous. When Fu Ming was studying, he even told her that one day, he also wanted to see how prosperous Long Ye was and if the Daliang Dynasty was as peaceful as the books said.
However, time could not be reversed. Fu Ming and Wanyu had already turned to dust, but she managed to set foot in Long Ye with Fu Ming’s wish.
Over the past few days, Shen Miao had already changed out of her wedding dress. Xie Jingxing had specially prepared clothes for her. When they arrived at the city gate of Long Ye, the guards let them in without even looking at the token. The grand procession attracted all the commoners to gather on the street.
The commoners shouted, “Prince Rui brought the princess consort back!”
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. Xie Jingxing married her in Ming Qi, but the people here seemed to know the whole story and were not surprised at all. Xie Jingxing must have thought of a way to spread this news to the Daliang Dynasty long ago.
Just as she was thinking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted. Xie Jingxing said, “Do you want to see the scenery of Long Ye?”
At this moment, he had already taken off his mask. In the Daliang Dynasty, there was probably no need for him to hide his identity, and his expression was different from when he was in Ming Qi. His lazy and cynical attitude dissipated, replaced by sharpness and seriousness.
Shen Miao looked out.
Just like in the books, the scenery in Long Ye was different from that in the capital. Although the capital was also lively, it was only so for rich families. So what if there were restaurants everywhere? How could ordinary families afford to dine there? On the streets of Long Ye, the people coming and going were all smiling.
Shen Miao noticed that the fabric of the clothes these people were wearing was not bad, and they looked very healthy. Everyone looked like they were doing well. Shen Miao thought to herself that it was really not an exaggeration to say that the people of the Daliang Dynasty lived in harmony.
Long Ye was very big and the shops and restaurants were grand. Shen Miao had been to the State of Qin, but the State of Qin was not as interesting as Long Ye.
Even though she had seen the world, she still couldn’t help but look around curiously.
Seeing her like this, Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and said, “There’s no hurry. When I have time, I’ll take you out to play. Long Ye is not small. You have to take your time to familiarize yourself with this place.”
He did not deliberately lower his voice. Some commoners who were close to him looked at Shen Miao curiously and said, “His Highness is very good to the princess consort. He actually dotes on her so much.”
“No wonder His Majesty didn’t agree to the marriages arranged by His Majesty. It turns out that he already has a crush on the princess consort.”
“Princess Consort is also very beautiful. They look very compatible.”
“It won’t be long before she gives birth to an heir.”
When Shen Miao heard these discussions, her face instantly turned red. The people of Long Ye seemed to be very kind. Even the discussions were mostly congratulations or praises. Shen Miao was a little absent-minded. All along, she had always felt that human nature was evil. People always commented on things they did not know, but they did not know that those comments were enough to ruin a person’s life. She was from Ming Qi after all. She thought that it would definitely be like before, attracting a lot of criticism, but she did not hear anything negative about her. She was a little surprised, but at the same time, she was touched.
