Chapter 401 Naughty Xiao Yunting
Ye Tang and his companions did not stay in Haicheng for long. They packed up and set off for Beijing early the next morning.
On the way, they also met officials who came to take over Haicheng.
By the time we returned to the capital, it was already July.
The weather was extremely hot. In the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, the servants were sweating profusely as they circled around a little boy.
"My Lord, please walk slower and be careful not to fall!"
"Master Junjun, please stop the prince!"
A colorful macaw fluttered in the air above the little boy's head, shouting, "You can't stop him! You can't stop him! He's trying to pluck my son's feathers!"
A green parrot shouted behind the crowd: "Give me back my son!"
The little boy was holding a tiny macaw in his arms, running forward with his head lowered, his stumbling little body looking as if he would fall at any moment.
The servants shouted from behind: "My Lord, don't run, there is a pond ahead."
"be careful!"
The little boy ran too fast and was tripped by a stone when he got near the pond. When he lunged forward, the little parrot in his hand flew out.
“Ah!” the boy screamed.
Junjun and Meimei also shouted: "Ah!"
The servants were in a panic. At the critical moment, a figure leaped over, stretched out one hand to hold the little boy's head, and reached out with the other hand to grab the little parrot's neck.
The little boy didn't fall and was safe, but the little parrot rolled its eyes and was almost dying.
"Oops! Sorry! I caught you in the wrong place!" Ye Ping'an straightened himself and put the little parrot on the ground.
Junjun and Meimei flew over, landed beside the little parrot, and used their wings to touch the little parrot in pain.
Before the little parrot could even stand firmly, it was knocked to the ground by its own parents and struggled to get up.
Junjun breathed a sigh of relief: "Not dead, not dead, still alive, lucky!"
"Hoo, hoo!" After the little boy stood firm, he wanted to catch the little parrot. Junjun was startled and quickly picked up the little parrot with his mouth and flew away, followed by Meimei.
The little parrot struggled in Junjun's mouth and looked at the little boy reluctantly. The little boy stood on the ground, also waving and shouting at the little parrot. The two little friends were forced to separate and were very sad.
The little boy was about to cry. He put his hands on his hips and cursed: "Stinky Junjun!"
Ye Pingan reached out and touched his head with a firecracker hairstyle with a smile: "Don't be angry, Jiaojiao is less than a month old, he can't stand your tossing and turning, come on, I'll take you to play with the leopard cubs, if you don't like the leopard cubs, you can also play with the tiger cubs, and you can also ride a horse!"
"No!" Xiao Yunting still put his hands on his hips, looking unhappy: "I want to scream."
When a child becomes stubborn, no amount of coaxing by adults will do.
Helplessly, Ye Ping'an took Xiao Yunting to the bird park.
It is called a bird park, but in fact it is a parrot garden. The birds raised there are all the descendants of Junjun and Meimei.
These two birds are very fertile. They reproduce three or four times a year and lay five or six eggs at a time. Each egg can hatch a little parrot. Now there are eighteen little parrots in this bird garden, and with Junjun and Meimei, there are twenty in total.
Xiao Yunting loved it so much that he came to play twice a day and even learned how to curse from Junjun.
As soon as they entered the bird garden, Junjun saw Xiao Yunting and immediately flew over to him and yelled, "Ignorant boy, ignorant boy!"
Xiao Yunting retorted unconvincedly: "Ignorant little bird, ignorant little bird!!"
The bird and the child were neither giving in to the other, and Ye Ping'an's tiredness of the day was all gone with laughter!
Fang Jing came running over: "Two princes, you are here indeed. Good news, good news. The prince and princess are back. The Duke and the old Duke have gone to the city gate. The emperor and many ministers are also there!"
"What? My sister and brother-in-law are back!" Ye Ping'an was extremely surprised: "Didn't they say it would take another day or two to get to the capital?"
Fang Jing smiled and said, "I heard that the prince and princess missed the young master, so they traveled overnight and shortened their return journey."
"Great!" Ye Ping'an stood up excitedly and hugged Xiao Yunting: "My dear nephew, let's go, your parents are back, let's go to the city gate to welcome them."
Xiao Yunting was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses: "Dad? Mom? Ahhhhh!! My parents are back!"
Ye Ping'an just ran out with him in his arms. The carriage was ready outside the door. Ye Ping'an jumped into the carriage holding the child. The coachman waved the whip and galloped towards the city gate.
Although Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan did not return victorious, the mission to Penglai Kingdom was much more exciting than winning a battle.
That's Penglai! Beiyi, Xuanyue, and Fusang had never been to the three countries, but the Yuan Dynasty sent envoys to visit them and came back. Not only that, they also reached good news of mutual exchanges with Penglai.
Being able to make friends with Penglai proves that the Yuan Dynasty is much stronger than the other three kingdoms, and will become more prosperous in the future, and the people’s lives will get better and better.
How can people across the country not be excited?
The team slowly entered the city, and Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan dozed off in the carriage.
"Welcome Prince Pingshan and Princess Pingshan back to Beijing!" the people shouted in unison.
"Welcome Prince Pingshan and Princess Pingshan back to the capital!" Civil and military officials also shouted.
These roars directly woke up Xiao Jingxuan and Ye Tang. They both had a tuft of hair on their heads and rubbed their sleepy eyes, looking a little dazed.
"Why is it so noisy?" Ye Tang asked.
The driver said outside: "Reporting to the princess, we have arrived in the capital. The emperor is leading the civil and military officials and the people to welcome you back to the capital."
As he spoke, he jumped off the carriage and saluted Emperor Yuanwu with all the soldiers.
"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"
Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan instantly became energetic and stopped yawning. They quickly got out of the carriage and ran to the front of the team to kneel and kowtow to Emperor Yuanwu.
As for Liu An, Hong Longfei, Dugu Wushuang and Ye Qianbai, they left the team before entering the city and quietly returned to Pingshan Palace. They were not in the team at all.
The four of them were very foresighted and knew that it would be a lot of trouble if they went into the city with the large group, so they did not follow.
“Stand up, stand up, both of you!” Emperor Yuanwu laughed loudly and walked towards Ye Tang and the others. He extended his hand to help Xiao Jingxuan up and said to them, “You two have worked hard on the journey!”
"It's not hard. This is what I should do." Xiao Jingxuan said modestly, "It is my honor to serve the emperor."
He ran back to the carriage, found an exquisite rectangular wooden box, and respectfully handed it to Emperor Yuanwu: "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and brought back the "Yuanpeng Friendship and Trade Treaty" written by Emperor Penglai himself, as well as the Peace Jade!"
Emperor Yuanwu happily took it, opened it and took a look. Inside the wooden box were the treaty and a very thick white jade of a divine eagle.
"Great, great, great! You two have done a great service!"
