Chapter 48 The Princess Returns to Beijing

Oh, this little bastard, Song Yanjin pulled out her hand and slapped him on the arm, "Childish ghost, my word is law."

The goal was achieved. Xia Yunheng stood up and ran out, covering his arm. He had to tell his brothers the first good news!

Bai Zhu was full and didn't feel comfortable lying down. She stood up and stretched. She almost forgot something important after a day of fun. "Miss, the housekeeper of the Song Mansion came to the academy this morning and told you to go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Hey~ Song Yanjin, who had just laid down, nudged her with his foot in disdain, "Baizhu, you are such a bummer. Why are you saying this at this moment?"

Cui Yuanchang was not surprised by the headmaster's attitude. The last time the Song family came to the academy together and made a scene, the headmaster had completely cut off all ties with his family and he probably wouldn't go during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Bai Zhu smiled and squatted down apologetically, "Miss, since I've told you, I have to let you know anyway."

Song Yanjin sighed helplessly, "Let's live comfortably in the academy and not come here to cause trouble."

I don’t know what my old father is planning this time. The less he gets involved, the less trouble he will have.

The next morning, the bulletin board in the school announced that there would be a half-day holiday in the afternoon. The students, who were almost going crazy from studying, cheered and thanked Principal Song for his wise move.

Xia Yunheng was standing in the corridor and heard everyone thanking his cousin. He felt terrible. The one you should thank is me!

After lunch at noon, everyone left the academy without any prior arrangement. They had heard that the capital city was very lively recently, and they all wanted to join in the fun.

Xia Yunheng held his brothers Gu Jiajing and Huangfu Yunqing by the hands of his left and right brothers, and strode down the long stone stairs, "Xiao Jing, Yunqing, let's go quickly. I don't know what my cousin and her friends ate yesterday, it smelled so good..."

When I got close to my eldest cousin yesterday, she smelled of meat and a sweet taste. She was drinking a green round fruit. I had to find this thing.

Gu Jiajing could only risk his life to accompany the gentleman, and it would be okay to take a break for half a day.

Huangfu Yunqing almost fell down because of the yelling child. "My Lord, a gentleman should not be greedy for food and drink. This evil habit should be avoided."

Xia Yunheng didn't care what sign language he said, he would not say it that way after he had eaten it.

Running towards the busy street, Xia Yunheng and Gu Jiajing felt the familiar feeling again. They used to like strolling on the street when they had nothing to do. When Lu Jie took a fancy to the girl, he took her into his house. Seeing the girl crying, they bent over with laughter.

Now think about how much of an asshole he was!
The three of them were followed by the prince's guards and eunuchs. If they saw something they liked, someone would go and take it back. After eating all the food in one street, Xia Yunheng also sat down in the book pavilion with a big green fruit in his arms and a bamboo tube in his mouth to rest.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the noble man is coming!"

On the street, a long line of soldiers came running in unison to clear the area.

At the back of the team, four large horses were lined up in a row, and a large carriage was slowly approaching.

Why did Xia Yunheng feel that the carriage looked more and more familiar?

It was not until he saw Deputy General Shen at the end of the team that Xia Yunheng sat up in shock, "My mother is here."

The eldest princess?
Gu Jiajing and Huangfu Yunqing looked over at the same time, and it was indeed the eldest princess's show.

The scented gauze fluttered in the carriage window, and Xia Lianyi glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw her silly son in the pavilion with his eyes as wide as bells!
Her red lips slightly opened, "Tell the prince in the pavilion to return home."

The four female historians beside him nodded in unison, "Yes, Your Highness."

The carriage stopped, Ying Xiang, who was leaning against the door, jumped out and headed towards the prince.

Xia Yunheng knew he couldn't escape, so he said goodbye to his two friends and followed the convoy back to the princess's palace.

After returning to the mansion, Xia Lianyi circled around her son and said, "You've gained weight. Xia Yunheng, if you don't control your eating, you'll become as fat as a pig sooner or later. Who knows which girl will fall in love with you?"

Xia Yunheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, I'm only a few years old now, and I'm still growing."

He threw his hair back and raised his head confidently, "I am a dashing young man, who wants to be attracted to me!" Xia Lianyi raised her hand and patted her son's forehead in disdain, "Forget about you."

The mother and son exchanged greetings for a while, and then Xia Lianyi sent Deputy General Shen to Qingyun Academy to pick up her eldest niece. It was a rare opportunity for her to come to Beijing, so she took a look at the little girl.

We have to attend the palace banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it will be even more difficult to see each other after that.

In the teacher's resting house, Song Yanjin, who was conscientiously preparing this month's examination paper, learned that Deputy General Shen wanted to see him, and his writing stopped. The day after tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, so the eldest princess must have come to Beijing on this day.

Song Yanjin, "Bring Yuan Shang in."

"Yes, Chief Shan."

After a while, the sound of swords hitting armor came from the outer corridor.

Cui Yuanchang raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Headmaster."

Deputy General Shen walked in and bowed politely, "Miss Song."

Song Yanjin stood up to greet him, "General Shen, there's no need to be so polite. Your Highness is looking for me?"

"That's right. Your Highness is only free today to meet the girl."

Deputy General Shen nodded with a smile, tears of gratitude in his heart. He didn't expect that he had made the right decision to send Mu Zhou to Qingyun Academy. He won the first place in the autumn examination this year. The boy studied hard when he returned home. Under the guidance of Miss Song, he will definitely be on the list of successful candidates in the spring examination next year.

The Shen family is considered to be an honorable family in their generation!
Song Yanjin looked down and saw a little ink on his sleeve. "General Shen, please wait a moment."

"It doesn't matter."

Deputy General Shen had already noticed the ink stain on Miss Song's skirt. Naturally, she had to dress neatly before meeting His Highness.

Cui Yuanchang followed Bai Zhu out, and suddenly realized, Your Highness? In Daxia, only the Princess and the Crown Prince can call themselves Your Highness. The Crown Prince lives in the East Palace and doesn't need to come back from far away to attend the banquet. The one that Shanzhang was talking about must be the Princess of Lin'an. It turns out that Shanzhang Xiao Song has such a powerful background.

Song Yanjin changed his clothes and came out of the academy with Baizhu, then got on the carriage prepared by Deputy General Shen and headed for the princess's mansion.

Xia Yunheng's shouting could be heard from a distance in Shuyue Pavilion. Song Yanjin stepped forward and bowed to the princess politely, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Cousin, you are finally here. My mother brought the famous Su Yuege mooncakes from Lin'an. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and you have to queue up for two blocks to buy them."

Without waiting for his mother to speak, Xia Yunheng brought down the exquisite porcelain plate, eager to let his cousin taste the mooncakes.

Song Yanjin looked at the eldest princess nervously, as the elder had not spoken yet.

"Try it. Su Yue Pavilion doesn't usually make mooncakes with such complicated processes. This brat waits until the end of the year to look forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival. He ate a small piece just now and promised to save it for you."

Xia Lianyi picked up the teacup and drank tea with amusement. Her naughty son now knew how to be grateful and was well taught by the little girl.

Song Yanjin obeyed the order respectfully, nodded with a smile, raised his hand and picked up the sugar-filled mooncake on a skewer from the plate held by his little cousin.

It is crispy and sweet but not greasy. Although the taste is completely different from the modern snow skin mooncakes, it was considered a fine craft in ancient times.

After eating one piece, Song Yanjin felt a little sick of it and put down the bamboo stick.

Seeing that his cousin didn't like the food, Xia Yunheng was a little worried and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, you don't like sweet food, right?"

Trying to find an excuse for the mooncake, cousin, it’s not that I don’t like you, I just don’t like sweet things.

Song Yanjin nodded, "Yes, I like to eat skewers, spicy hot pot and the like..."
