After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 268 Finally Back in Bianjing

"Don't cry, Lord Ye is going back to Bianjing to take up his post. Things will get better from here!" The peasant woman next to him couldn't help but pat Old Man Zhang. This peasant woman was Old Man Zhang's wife.

"Yes, I'm going to Bianjing to become an official! From now on, like everyone else, life will get better and better!"

Looking at the farmers outside the city, their clothes were noticeably brighter than before, no longer as drab as they had been.

When these farmers heard that Lord Ye was leaving the border, they all took out their cleanest and best-looking clothes to wear, so as to present their best appearance to Lord Ye and wish him a bright future.

This can be considered a two-way journey for them.

Ye Yuwu stepped onto the saddle and straddled the horse's back.

She learned to ride a horse while stationed at the border; she had never even ridden a donkey before.

She rode her horse toward Bianjing. This time, she didn't look back at the familiar faces behind her. She knew that they would meet again someday.

"Very sad?"

Qi Jingyue suddenly rode his horse closer to her.

Ye Yuwu was startled when she saw him approaching on horseback. "Don't ride your horse near me!"

She had only recently learned to ride a horse and was still quite unskilled. Whenever another horse was close to the one she was riding, she would become very nervous, afraid that she would lose control of the horse she was holding and that she would "stumble" and fall off!

Qi Jingyue rode his tall and mighty horse, laughing in a carefree and unrestrained manner.

His soft chuckle sounded like a mockery to Ye Yuwu.

"Don't be afraid, I'm holding the reins, nothing will happen."

Just then, a deep, kissing voice suddenly spoke from the side, speaking in a calm tone that sounded gentle and reliable.

Qi Jingyue stopped laughing, narrowed his deep, dark eyes, and glanced sideways at Xiao Yulan beside him. He then looked away and looked behind Ye Yuwu.

Sure enough, behind Ye Yuwu, there was a figure dressed in white silently guarding her. Although his face was expressionless, indifferent, and aloof, one could still feel his protection.

Qi Jingyue couldn't help but click his tongue, his mood instantly plummeting.

Just then, they heard the neighing of horses and the sound of hooves behind them.

Just as Ye Yuwu was about to turn around to see what was going on, the sound of horses' hooves approached them from behind, instantly raising dust.

Amidst the swirling dust, Ye Yuwu spotted a familiar handsome face on horseback.

He was still wearing that black robe and soft armor, his clothes were neat, his back was upright, his eyes were bright and his eyebrows were sharp, and his features were deep and handsome.

"General Su? What happened to you..."

"Your Highness." He was the first to sit on horseback and bow to the Crown Prince.

"His Majesty summoned me back to the capital to report on my duties and receive rewards, but I was delayed by other matters. Now that the affairs at the border have been settled, I can take this opportunity to travel to the capital with Your Highness and the Marquises. This way, I can also protect Your Highness and the Marquises on the way!" Su Wangyan led his soldiers to reclaim two territories and then reached a cooperation agreement with the Turks. He was indeed going to the capital to report on his duties.

He refused the envoy before, so why is he now saying he wants to go to the capital?

Ah, I'm afraid his real intentions aren't in the bar! Who he's after, he knows perfectly well.

Qi Jingyue felt a sense of crisis. It was one thing to have Bai Zunyue before, but why are there suddenly two men competing with him for Ye Yuwu?

"No! I'm a little dizzy from riding! I need to get off!" Ye Yuwu suddenly said, holding her head. All four men looked at her with worried expressions.

Just as they were about to dismount and help her up, Huaping, who was on the carriage, heard the commotion and immediately got off the carriage.

The procession, which had been moving forward, stopped at this point. Ye Yuwu, with her head propped up, was helped down by Hua Ping and then entered the carriage.

The moment Ye Yuwu stepped into the carriage, the previously harmonious atmosphere was instantly shattered.

The four men remounted their horses.

A silent battle was raging around them.

"I never expected that Marquis Xuanping would have the time to tie up Lord Ye's horse!"

"Your Highness, after all, I taught Lady Ye how to ride, so naturally I must protect her."

Qi Jingyue chuckled, while Xiao Yulan was in a very good mood. However, the faces of the three men turned extremely dark.

The group continued their journey in this manner.

Sometimes, when Ye Yuwu's bottom ached from sitting in the swaying carriage, or when she was bored after a long day of travel, she would take Huaping with her on horseback.

Ye Yuwu herself was not a skilled rider, yet she dared to ask someone like her, a complete novice, to teach Huaping how to ride a horse.

Fortunately, Huaping was brave enough to actually learn to ride a horse under Ye Yuwu's tutelage.

Every time they rode horses there, several pairs of eyes would appear behind Ye Yuwu and linger on her.

After months of arduous carriage travel, they finally returned to Bianjing.

As soon as Ye Yuwu returned to the Ye residence, she immediately collapsed onto her bed.

Having been away for so long, she rarely felt like she was back home.

It seemed that many people in Bianjing did not come to her residence to disturb her, and even the emperor did not immediately summon her to the palace to report on her duties, which could be considered as taking care of her.

The next day, Ye Yuwu regained some of her energy, and someone immediately came to deliver a visiting card.

Ye Yuwu ignored everything and, following His Majesty's decree, went to court the next morning in her official robes.

This time, I still arrived at the morning court right on time. There's no way around it; it's a habit I developed from working 8 a.m. in modern times, so I have to be on time for "work" every day.

The officials guarding Xuande Gate had long been accustomed to someone arriving at the morning court on time every day. To be honest, they had become somewhat unaccustomed to Ye Yuwu's absence for the past year and a half. Now that Ye Yuwu had returned to the capital, they could no longer view her with the same eyes as before.

Ye Yuwu arrived at the morning court on time. As soon as she reached Xuande Gate, the gate was already open, but none of the officials went in. Instead, they all stood at the gate waiting for Ye Yuwu.

A group of officials quickly gathered around Ye Yuwu. Little did she know that she had only gone on a "business trip" to the border, and these old guys instantly became very enthusiastic.

However, it must be said that Ye Yuwu was quite pleased with their flattery; no wonder everyone has liked being flattered since ancient times.

Having finally arrived at the imperial court, Ye Yuwu, now a sixth-rank official, was about to stand in her original position as before.

Little did she expect that before she could even return to her original position, she would be pulled to the Emperor's presence.

At that moment, Ye Yuwu was about to stand outside the hall when the Three Departments official hurriedly searched for someone, looking around the hall and calling out Ye Yuwu's name.

"Where is Ye Yuwu? Where is Ye Yuwu? Where did she go?"

The three officials searched for her throughout the court, and even the Grand Tutor and Grand Preceptor, who were standing at the front, frequently turned around to look behind them when they heard his voice.

"Lord Ye is standing outside the hall!" an official suddenly announced from inside the hall.

"Oh my goodness! Why is she standing outside the palace?!" The official in charge of the three departments slapped his thigh and hurriedly went outside the palace to bring her in.

The ministers in the hall: ?

He's still just a low-ranking official of the sixth rank. Shouldn't he be standing outside the palace waiting for His Majesty to summon him?

She hasn't been promoted by His Majesty yet, she's still a sixth-rank official!

It was truly astonishing that the Three Commissioners would personally lead people in!
