General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming novel Chapter 255

255 Qin Canglan’s Anger (1)

The sky cleared after the rain, and the capital was enveloped in a golden dawn.

A luxurious carriage slowly drove into the palace city and stopped in front of Taihe Gate.

The guard looked at the noble man who alighted from the carriage and hurriedly went forward to bow. “Your Highness!”

Xiao Zhonghua raised his hand calmly, and the guard was flattered.

The princes had a noble status and usually ignored them. Only the Third Prince was so approachable.

Xiao Zhonghua smiled and asked, “I should be the first to pay my respects to Father and Mother, right?”

The guard hurriedly said, “Her Majesty has been unwell recently. His First and Second Highness have also entered the palace.”

In Qixiang Palace, Consort Xian had just finished washing up and was sitting in front of the dressing table choosing earrings when she heard the palace maid report that the Third Prince had arrived.

Consort Xian’s eyes lit up. She casually took a pair of jade earrings and put them on. She went to the warm pavilion to see her son, whom she had not seen for months.

Consort Xian was so excited that she choked. She sat on the chaise longue and held her son’s face with both hands. Her heart ached as she said, “You’ve lost weight… Was the journey very difficult?”

Xiao Zhonghua smiled. “It wasn’t too hard. I made Mother worry.”

“Have you been to see the empress?” Consort Xian asked.

“I have.”

The empress was in the central palace. Even though Xiao Zhonghua was Consort Xian’s biological son, he had no choice but to pay his respects to the empress first.

This was a courtesy.

“Is my third brother back?” Princess Hui An said with a delicate voice as she gently tugged at her wide-sleeved flowing immortal dress and walked briskly into the warm pavilion.

“Third Brother! It’s really you!”

She ran over with a smile and sat between Concubine Xian and Xiao Zhonghua.

She had been pampered since she was young. The emperor doted on her, and so did Consort. As her brother, it went without saying that Xiao Zhonghua treasured her.

Consort Xian had not spent enough time with her son before her daughter pushed her away.

What could she say?

She had spoiled her.

“Hehe, Mother.” Princess Hui An did not forget to greet her mother.

Consort Xian rolled her eyes at her. “How old are you? You don’t look like a princess at all.”

Princess Hui An held Xiao Zhonghua’s arm and said coquettishly, “No matter how old I am, I’m still Mother’s daughter. I’m Brother’s sister, right, Third Brother?”
