Gu Nuo’er stuck her head out.

There were strict guards at the entrance of the imperial city.

However, an extremely gorgeous and spacious carriage stopped at the side.

The carriage was too big and there were actually four horses pulling it.

Gu Nuo’er blinked, her fair face filled with curiosity.

The soldiers arranged by General Zheng went forward and communicated with the guards.

“The person in the carriage is Princess Yaoguang, whom Governor Wei brought over from Great Qi. This matter is of great importance. Please let her pass immediately so that I can report to His Majesty.”

Unexpectedly, when the guard heard this, he didn’t accept it.

He waved his hand and said seriously, “It’s no use even if it is Princess Yaoguang. Consort Lu’s carriage is over there. We have to let her in first!”

When the soldiers heard Consort Lu’s name, they were shocked.

He turned around and looked at the huge carriage parked not far away.

Consort Lu’s palace maid was holding a token and was about to come over to ask the guards to let them pass.

However, in order to please Consort Lu, the guards took the initiative to go forward and smile at Consort Lu’s head palace maid.

“Miss Qianhong, it’s hot today. Don’t expose Her Highness to the sun. Why would we still have to check the token? Please go in as soon as possible.”

The palace maid called Qianhong smiled dignifiedly.

“His Majesty has ordered strict laws in the capital. Her Highness has always listened to His Majesty’s decree, so how can she take the lead to ignore the rules?”

As she spoke, she showed the token.

The words ‘Consort Lu’ shone with golden light.

The token was engraved with the lotus that His Majesty had specially given him, representing the supreme honor of the sacred pet.

The guard took a look and quickly bowed to send them off.

“Thank you Miss Qianhong for making this trip.”

“It’s no trouble.” Qian Hong smiled and turned to walk towards the carriage.

The guard from before said to General Zheng’s men, “Did you see that? Consort Lu is in front and everyone has to stay at the back. We can’t afford to offend her!”

“I’ll let you pass after Consort Lu’s carriage passes!”

General Zheng’s soldiers naturally didn’t dare to refute and thanked him repeatedly.

The palace maid called Qianhong caught a clear gaze from the corner of her eye.

She turned around and met Gu Nuo’er’s eyes.

The child placed her fair and soft hands on the window and was looking at her.

Her watery black eyes were like pearls washed by starlight.

Her skin was delicate and fair, and her lips were as pink as petals.

What a beautiful child!

Qianhong couldn’t help but feel surprised.

Coincidentally, Consort Lu’s gentle question came from the carriage. “Qianhong, who’s that over there?”

“This servant doesn’t know. It’s just that the soldiers around the carriage look like General Zheng’s men.”

“Your Highness, wait a moment. This servant will go and ask.”

The guard was originally waiting for Consort Lu’s carriage to enter the palace first.

Unexpectedly, the palace maid, Qianhong, who had left, walked back.

After a few questions, Qianhong returned to Consort Lu’s side and replied.

“Your Highness, it’s a princess that His Majesty sent Governor Wei to bring back from Great Qi.”

In the carriage, the beauty was as beautiful as pearls and jade, her skin so fair that it emitted a gentle glow.

She was wearing a jade green palace dress and her jade hairpin gently held up her black hair that was soft like clouds.

This was the woman the emperor of the Xili Empire, Ling Tianyin, doted on the most—Consort Lu.

When she heard Qianhong’s words, she couldn’t help but frown.

This was because Consort Lu knew very well that although Wei Cang was the one who brought the princess back, it was actually Ling Tianyin who asked him to forcefully kidnap her!

Consort Lu sighed heavily, looking helpless.

She knew that men had their own competition, but the child was really pitiful.

At this moment, a soft and high-pitched call sounded from outside the carriage—

“Pretty consort over there, quickly get off the carriage! Your carriage is going to break!”
