Chapter 352 The Empress Drives Back to the Palace (4)

Banhua passed by the main road of the capital in a phoenix car. The imperial guards cleared the way, accompanied by eunuchs and maids. The battle was not small. Even ordinary people who haven't seen many markets, when they see the dragon, phoenix and auspicious patterns carved on the carriage, and the carriage is driven by eighteen horses, they immediately stay away.

Arriving at the Jingting mansion all the way, Ban Hua helped the maid's hand and got off the carriage. Looking at the familiar plaque on the gate, her eyes were slightly hot, she refused the sedan chair prepared by the servants, and walked directly into the gate with her skirt lifted.

Every plant and tree still looked familiar, as if she had never left.

The long palace skirt was drawn across the clean bluestone slab, Ban Hua walked quickly, and the maids and eunuchs behind her followed quickly, lest they would slack off in the slightest.

When approaching the second gate, she stopped suddenly.

At the second gate, the three members of the Ban family stood there. They stretched their necks to look around, until the moment Ban Hua appeared, Ban Heng rushed up to meet him.

"Sister!" Ban Heng ran up to meet her, then asked around Ban Hua, snatched the hem of the dress that the palace lady was carrying into his hands, and followed Ban Hua like a puppy.

Seeing him like this, Ban Hua smiled until his eyes turned red, and reached out and tapped his forehead: "Look at him growing taller."

"Have you really grown taller?" Ban Heng smiled brightly, "I have been practicing boxing this year, and my appetite has increased a lot."

"It's better for a man to eat more," she patted Ban Heng's shoulder, and it turned out to be stronger than before. The siblings talked and laughed and came in front of Ban Huai and Yin.

"Father, mother," Ban Hua knelt down towards the two of them, "My daughter is unfilial, which makes the elders worry."

"Get up, get up," Yin wiped her tears and helped Ban Hua up from the ground, "Just come back, just come back."

Banhua rubbed against Yin's body, her youngest daughter was full of posture.

She glanced at the court ladies and eunuchs who were following behind her, and said to Wang De: "You all wait outside, there is no need for you to serve inside."

"Yes." Wang De took a step back respectfully.

Yin recognized this person as the eunuch who served Emperor Yunqing, but she didn't show any emotion on her face, until the family of four entered the inner courtyard, she said: "Wang De is Rong Xia?"

Ban Hua nodded, "Yes."

"No wonder..." Even the emperor has his own person beside him, and this person is the chief eunuch, if Rong Xia doesn't become the emperor, who will do it?

The three surrounded Banhua and asked a lot about things after leaving Beijing, and Banhua also picked out some interesting things to tell, which made the three of them laugh out loud, and the sky dimmed before they knew it.

Only then did the family of four remember that from noon to now, they had no food except tea and snacks.

Yin looked at the sky, and wanted to stay in Banhua to eat, but reason told her that her daughter should go back to the palace.

She touched her daughter's hand tremblingly, and forced a smile: "It's difficult to travel at night, you...be careful."

Ban Hua looked at Yin Shi with a smile: "Won't mother keep me for dinner?"

"Stay, stay," Yin turned her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then smiled at Ban Hua and said, "I'll let the kitchen cook."

In the guest room at the second door, a young eunuch came to Wang De's side and said, "Eunuch, it's getting late, my lady..."

"Shut up," Wang De said with a downcast face, "The Empress has her own way of doing things, so you don't need to wait for more words."

Half an hour later, Wang De heard a message from outside that the empress was going back to the palace. He hurriedly got up, straightened his clothes, and rinsed his mouth with tea before trotting out of the guest room.

Under the night, the Ban family sent the empress to the gate step by step, and even the hem of the empress's skirt was carried by the eldest son of the Ban family.

Wang De knew how deep the feelings of the Ban family were, seeing the scene in front of him, he had the urge to sigh.

Perhaps the Ban family never thought that Princess Ban would become the empress.

"Your Majesty, get up and drive back to the palace." Wang De shook the whisk in his hand, and raised his voice to report.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and Wang De, who was riding on horseback, turned his head. The red candle outside Jingting's mansion was shining brightly, and the three members of the Ban family stood under the steps without moving.

He looked back at the motionless carriage, shook his head and sighed, this is destiny.
