March 17th.
The army of the Northern Turks had returned victorious.
On that day, the sky was high and the clouds were light. The spring breeze was warm, and the willow branches in the suburbs of Chang 'an sprouted new buds.
On this day, the entire Chang 'an Fortress was immersed in celebration.
Everyone knew that today, the Fourth Prince, who had led his army to attack the Hu Krupp, would return to the court.
The Fourth Prince of the Great Qi Dynasty, the son of the Emperor and Empress Yuan. He was intelligent and talented since he was young. He was also a noble and elegant man. All the girls in the capital city who were lucky enough to meet him secretly admired him.
Unfortunately, the Fourth Prince was already sixteen this year, but he still refused to marry.
The emperor had wanted to bestow marriage on her several times, but Fourth Prince Bai Musheng had always rejected him.
Tian Zi was helpless and could only give up.
As the army got closer and closer to the capital city, the atmosphere in Chang 'an became more and more heated.
"Have you heard? The Fourth Prince had crippled the entire Turkic army! Even their Khan was captured!”
"The Fourth Prince is the War God of Da Qi. He entered the army at the age of fourteen. Even the Defender General praised him as a rare genius!”
"When the Fourth Prince returns, I'm afraid His Majesty will really bestow a marriage to the Fourth Prince. I wonder which noble daughter will be able to become the Fourth Prince's official consort.”
In the teahouses and taverns, countless people were fervently discussing everything about the Fourth Prince, Bai Musheng.
Finally, someone shouted,"The Fourth Prince has returned to the capital!"”，Everyone immediately rushed out.
The Imperial Street had long been guarded by the Golden Guards that had been arranged beforehand. The Golden Guards on both sides of the street formed a human wall, isolating the agitated citizens.
However, this did not hinder the enthusiasm of the people at all. People scrambled to look at the end of the Imperial Street.
At the same time, outside Chang 'an City, Baqiao.
Bai Musheng, who was riding on horseback, looked at the familiar city before him with a smile.
He was extremely beautiful, with a straight posture, long legs, and broad shoulders.
His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his phoenix-like eyes shone with a faint light. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and his nose bridge was high, making his face that was more beautiful than a girl's look a little more masculine. His thin lips were extremely beautiful, and the corners of his mouth naturally curled up.
The hand that held the reins had fair and slender fingers with distinct joints.
"I'm finally back."
Looking at Chang 'an Fortress, Bai Musheng raised his chin slightly.
He waved his right hand and pointed the horsewhip forward.
"Zilong, I'm afraid you'll be promoted again after returning to the capital.”
The silver-armored young man, who was also sitting on a white horse, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"Your Highness, Zilong will always be Your Highness's man.”
Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong.
The valiant general Bai Musheng had summoned.
Although he was just a teenager like him, he had the innate martial strength of the original Zhao Yun at her peak.
Bai Musheng smiled at her words.
He did not doubt Zhao Yun's loyalty at all.
The subjects that he summoned to the Great Qi Dynasty that did not exist in the twenty-four histories would always be loyal to him.
"However, Your Highness, I'm afraid that this time, you really won't be able to escape His Majesty's betrothal.”
Bai Musheng couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.
"Forget it, so be it. We still have to make this trip.”
It wasn't that he really didn't want to get married, but he had been focusing on his career for the past few years.
After transmigrating to this world and being born from the womb of the empress, Bai Musheng had awakened his golden finger at the age of twelve to summon civil and military officials. He had never thought of living under others.
However, he still had three older brothers above him, and his position as the eldest son of the Crown Prince allowed him to sit firmly in the position of Crown Prince.
As long as he didn't make any mistakes, Bai Musheng wouldn't have a chance-unless he rebelled or used some underhanded methods.
But Bai Musheng disdained to do so.
He was well aware of the Crown Prince's character. The higher his military merits were, the more he would be unable to endure it.
Sooner or later, the Crown Prince would make a move on him. At that time, he would be able to fight back legitimately.
After more than ten years of hard work, with righteousness in hand, the right time, the right place, and the right people, what could the Crown Prince use to fight with him?
When he thought of those people whom he had summoned and arranged to work in the Eastern Palace, whom the crown prince regarded as his right-hand men but were actually loyal to him, Bai Musheng couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
"Let's go! Let's enter the city!"
The Fourth Prince returned with a great victory, and the Emperor sent the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace out of the city to welcome him.
The two brothers put on an admirable show of brotherhood in front of the world, and then they slowly rode through the Imperial Street hand in hand.
Naturally, the army couldn't enter the city. Only Zhao Yun and a few other high-ranking generals could enter the city with Bai Musheng. The ones following behind were actually the emperor's Golden Guards.
In addition, there were the captured Turkic higher-ups, Wolf Flag, and the most important of all, the Turkic Khagan!
On Imperial Street, Bai Musheng was looking at the capital's magnificence, which he hadn't seen for more than a year.
Whether it was on the street or in the tea houses and wine shops, countless people stuck their heads out to look at Bai Musheng.
Da Qi was an open-minded country, and they weren't strict with men and women. Hence, unmarried women could also show their faces in public. Some even dared to wave a handkerchief and shyly try to attract Bai Musheng's attention.
"Fourth brother is really enviable. There is not a single noble girl in Chang 'an who doesn't want to marry you.”
Crown Prince Bai Muyun, who was riding beside Bai Musheng, said with a smile.
"Did you come back this time with a woman you like?”
"Naturally, Imperial Father and Imperial Mother are the ones who decide on marriage.”
Bai Musheng shook his head. He didn't give Bai Muyun any chance to speak.
Bai Mu Yun looked at her fourth brother who looked like a god under the sunlight and a trace of gloominess flashed in her eyes.
At a certain moment.
In a restaurant on the street.
On the second floor, Zhu Menghuang looked at the handsome young man on the white horse. Her beautiful eyelashes fluttered slightly.
"Miss! Miss, look! That's the Fourth Prince!"
The maid Lian Qiao, who was standing beside him, looked excited. Her petite and cute face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with admiration.
"I heard that when the Fourth Prince returned this time, His Majesty was determined to bestow him with a marriage! The empress also plans to hold a banquet in the palace and invite many noble ladies from the capital to participate, just to choose a concubine for the fourth prince…"
Lian Qiao was still chattering away, but Zhu Menghuang didn't pay much attention to what she was saying.
Zhu Menghuang's charming eyes were fixed on Bai Musheng the entire time, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
"You're finally back…"
Bai Musheng was hers.
She had a reason to marry her.
When she thought of the cultivation condition that could only be activated when she became the Empress of the Middle Palace and the Empress was in love with each other, Zhu Menghuang's gaze on Bai Musheng became more and more subtle.
Bai Musheng, who was on horseback, suddenly looked up and met Zhu Menghuang's gaze.
Zhu Menghuang smiled. A gust of wind blew past, lifting the veil on Zhu Menghuang's face, revealing a delicate face that was both happy and angry.
"Miss! His Highness is looking over here! Is he looking at you?"
"Miss, Miss! Your Highness is so good-looking!"
"Wow! His Highness laughed! Miss!"
