Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 322 Arrival in the Capital

In the next few days, Xu Yuan and Bei Yao traveled day and night.

It was already dusk when we arrived in the capital.

Bei Yao originally wanted to stay outside the capital for one night and go into the city early tomorrow morning, but Xu Yuan refused, so he had to order Chen Shan to drive into the city.

The carriage stopped in front of the palace. Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan and finally asked, "Are you really ready to go back?"

Bei Yao didn't know when he would see Xu Yuan again after they parted today.

Therefore, he cherishes this journey very much.

But Shen Yichuan happened to be the problem. If he had known that Xu Yuan cared so much about Shen Yichuan, he should not have shown the letter to Xu Yuan.

Beiyao regretted it.

But regret is useless.

"I'm afraid it's even more inappropriate for me to stay at the palace now, right?" Xu Yuan laughed, knowing that Bei Yao was reluctant to leave, and comforted him, "Don't worry, if I have the chance, I will come to the palace."

Bei Yao thought for a moment and said, "Not tomorrow, I have to enter the palace tomorrow."

Bei Yao is the commander-in-chief, so returning to Beijing is a big deal.

You need to go to the palace to meet the emperor and report as soon as possible.

At the same time, Bei Yao was also thinking about going to the Queen Mother tomorrow to ask for a marriage.

His marriage would be decided by either the Empress Dowager, the Emperor or the Empress.

My father is now determined to make me the crown prince and take over the responsibility of the world. Even if the emperor agrees, I will not be his legal wife. What's more, he doesn't want to be the crown prince.

As for the Queen, after the Crown Prince was placed under house arrest, the Queen was also placed under house arrest in the palace and was not allowed to go out. From now on, all matters in the palace, big or small, would be handled by Concubine Xing.

So, there is only one last candidate - the Queen Mother.

When the Empress Dowager speaks, even my father dares not disobey.

Beiyao had already prepared his speech.

Xu Yuan heard the hidden meaning in Bei Yao's words and didn't know what to say for a moment.

It was the first time she saw someone look at someone with such deep affection.

Even though she knew Beiyao was like this, she was still moved.

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll wait for you outside the palace tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay!" Bei Yao agreed, and then reluctantly said: "Young Master Qin will follow you, let her come to me if there is anything."

After saying this, Bei Yao left. Even though he was sitting in the carriage, he kept looking back every few steps. Only when he turned the corner and could no longer see Xu Yuan did he stop smiling, lower the curtain and say, "Let everyone go back home tonight."

"Yes." Chen Shan said.

After leaving Xuyuan, Beiyao is still Beiyao, calm and wise.

Chen Shan felt more than once that he had followed the right person.

Xu Wenxian had already returned to the capital and stayed at Xu's house. Therefore, Xu Yuan did not look for other places to live, but went directly to Xu's house.

Until the moment she stopped in front of Xu's house, she suddenly felt as if she was in another world.

I can't remember if this is the first time I've been here.

But every time before, Xu's house was very desolate.

But today is different.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the mansion. The stone lions at the door were hung with festive red silk, and the words "Xu's House" on the plaque were vigorous and powerful.

Xuyuan recognized it at a glance; it was her father's handwriting.

Everything is different now.

Tears inadvertently flowed down Xu Yuan's face. He came to his senses, wiped them away, straightened his sleeves, and went to knock on the door.

The concierge came very quickly, but when he saw Xu Yuan, he didn't recognize her and thought she was here to visit him, so he said politely, "The master has gone to bed today. If you have anything to do, please come back tomorrow morning."

"I'm making a wish."

Xu Yuan smiled and said in a gentle voice: "Xu Ze's daughter."

When the doorman heard the word "make a wish", he didn't react.

After being stunned for a few breaths, he said: "You just made a wish?!"

Xu Yuan's name has long been well-known in the capital.

One reason is that she is a descendant of the Xu family.

The second reason is because of the amazing things she did.

After Xu Yuan's disguise as a man was discovered, all the men in the capital city cursed her. Those who used to be on good terms with her even wished they had never met Xu Yuan.

But some people also regard making a wish as a role model.

Who says only men can redress the grievances of their fathers?

Who says only men can take the national examination and become officials?

Xuyuan proved through her actions that women can do it too.

Not only that, she can do better!

Xu Yuan smiled faintly: "It's me."

"Come in, come in." The doorman hurriedly opened the door and waited for Xu Yuan to enter before saying, "I have just entered the mansion and my eyesight is not good enough to recognize you, young lady. Please forgive me!"

The concierge said happily, remembering that this was Xuyuan's first time back, and said, "The mansion is very big, Miss, do you need me to lead the way?"

"sorry to bother you."

Before, everyone was watching outside Xu's house, and Xu Yuan didn't know the way inside.

She was in a hurry to see her parents, so the fastest way was to let the doorman lead the way.

only--

Some people are more anxious than her.

"I wish!"

The voice from far away was Zhang Qingyu's voice.

The moment Xu Yuan suddenly looked up and looked in the direction of the voice, all the words that she had been telling herself along the way to be a lady in the future were immediately forgotten.

She immediately ran over, and until she was in front of Zhang Qingyu, she smiled and said, "Mom, I miss you so much!"

Xu Wenxian walked slowly behind, followed by Zhang Qingyi and Wen Shufang who lived farther away.

The backyard of Xu's house was used as a charity hall, and the front yard was not far from the gate.

The doorman's shout was so loud that several people heard it.

Zhang Qingyu looked at her daughter who was smiling sweetly in front of her, gently touched Xu Yuan's cheek and said, "You've lost weight."

"I traveled for a long time and didn't sleep well."

Wen Shufang didn't see Zhang Yue, and her heart trembled. She didn't bother to ask why Xu Yuan came back, and asked anxiously: "Where is your brother? Did something happen?"

"No, no, brother is fine."

Zhang Qingyu glared at Wen Shufang and said, "That's right, say it now."

It's a great day, we can't say such unlucky words.

Hearing Xu Yuan say that Zhang Yue was fine, Zhang Qingyi was relieved and said, "Let's get the child something to eat first. Wenxian's legs hurt, let's sit down and talk."

Half an hour later, after Xu Yuan had eaten and drunk his fill and told everyone what had happened along the way, they finally let go of their worries.

Xu Wenxian didn't say anything, so Zhang Qingyu knew that he was going to ask Xu Yuan alone, so he pulled Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Qingyi away early, leaving the space for the father and daughter.

Xu Wenxian did have something to ask, but his first question was still: "You didn't suffer on the battlefield, did you?"

Xu Yuan shook his head, "Everything is fine. The Third Prince and I waited until the war situation stabilized before leaving. I guess we have won the battle now and are going back to the capital."

Xu Wenxian understood and asked, "Then why did you and the Third Prince return to the capital first?"

Xu Yuan looked at Xu Wenxian and said hesitantly, "I am worried about you."

"What is there to worry about? Your father was born and raised in the capital. Although he has been away from the capital for several years, he still has some connections. You should stay with the Third Prince and return to the capital after the war is over."

At that time, no one would question why Xu Yuan was with Bei Yao.

That's what his daughter deserves.

"I..." Xu Yuan hesitated to speak.

Although Xu Yuan had talked with Xu Wenxian many times since childhood, she still found it difficult to talk about love matters.

Xu Wenxian, on the other hand, saw it at a glance and said, "Yuan'er, if you like it, go for it. No matter if it's a prince, a general or an ordinary citizen, your father will always support you. Before, your father didn't have the qualifications, but now even if you want the position of queen, your father will help you succeed."

As Xu Wenxian spoke, his eyes were filled with a fatherly love.
