In the 18th year of Tianshun, Quanzhou Port Wharf.

Jinghan, with her nine-year-old daughter Qingning, stood on the dock and watched several large ships driving into the port in front of her.

"Mom, is Sister Qinghe really going to come back this time?" The nine-year-old Xiao Qingning looks very similar to Jinghan when she was a child, and her big eyes were full of expectations.

Jinghan looked at her daughter and couldn't help laughing, "Yes, this time, Sister Qinghe is coming back." Jinghan couldn't help but sigh. Qinghe has been traveling for four years, and she doesn't know what she looks like now.

The ships entering the port were all from Jinghan. The big ships stopped slowly, and then some people set up springboards. Many people came down from the ship one after another, and some were moving goods down. A few people suddenly walked off the boat in the middle, one of them was wearing a lilac dress, and the hem of the skirt fluttered in the slight sea breeze.

Jinghan saw the girl at a glance. Although she had been separated for four years, she still recognized her at a glance. The girl was her adopted daughter, Qinghe. Sure enough, the yellow-haired girl back then had now become a pretty beautiful woman.

When Qinghe went out, she brought four girls and two couples. One of them was originally dealing with foreigners all year round and was proficient in the languages ​​of several countries. Jinghan was afraid that Qinghe would not understand other people's languages ​​when she went out, so she specially found such a couple. Now they are all back together, and everyone surrounded Qinghe and walked down from the boat.

Qinghe had already discovered Jinghan and others on the dock and walked quickly to the adoptive mother. Qinghe bent her knees and was about to kneel down, "Mother, the unfilial daughter Qinghe is back."

Jinghan quickly stepped forward and supported Qinghe, "Silly child, why are the family doing such a big gift? Come and let my mother see what Qinghe in our family has become." Jinghan took Qinghe's hand and looked at it carefully.

After four years of seeing you, Qinghe's changes are undoubtedly huge. Today, Qinghe does not have the same appearance as a yellow-haired girl back then? She has a small porcelain white face, delicate skin, and willow eyebrows, two clear springs below, and a cherry blossom mouth. In the gentleness and grace, there are a few more strong and stubbornness. It's a bit contradictory. Qinghe is not short, with a slender waist, graceful and graceful look.

"It's getting better and better, okay, okay." Jinghan praised happily.

"Sister Qinghe, I am Qingning." Xiao Qingning, who was beside him, couldn't help it, and quickly jumped to his mother and greeted Qinghe.

Qinghe looked at the little girl in front of her in surprise. When she left, Qingning was only five years old, with a small figure and a slim face. Now the one in front of her has grown a lot, and she still has her original appearance in her eyebrows and eyes. "Qingning, I didn't expect you to grow so big."

Qinghe stretched out her hand and hugged the little girl in front of her with great difficulty. "I can't even hug you." At the beginning, she was holding her all day long.

"Okay, let's go back to the mansion first. This person is coming and going, it's so noisy. The mansion has prepared a welcome wine, so let's go back and talk about it in detail." Jinghan said with a smile.

So, someone had already loaded the things that Qinghe and others brought back to the carriage, and then everyone got on the carriage and walked towards Quanzhou City.

The General Office of the Maritime Warehouse is located in Quanzhou, and Zixuan has been working in this position for five or six years. The benefits of the Maritime Warehouse are extremely rich, and it has contributed a lot of taxes to the court in recent years. Today, the southeast coast has developed very prosperously. As the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, Quanzhou is the first choice for overseas countries to trade in Daqi. The prosperity here is incomparable.

Jinghan and his party came to the Lin Mansion in the center of the city. The mansion was decorated with lights and colorful colors. All the servants stood at the door to welcome the return of the young lady in the mansion. Qinghe and others got off the car and were stunned by this scene. "Mother, do you need to be so grand?"

"Of course, you are the mother's daughter. When you are the mother, you will naturally use the most grand ceremony to welcome your daughter back." Jinghan was very happy. She always loved Qinghe as her biological child. "Okay, let's go into the mansion. You still live in the yard before. I have someone cleaned it up. Go back and wash it up, and then come to the front. Let's have a good time. I'm still waiting for you." Jinghan smiled mysteriously, then pulled Qinghe's hand and everyone entered the door together.

When Qinghe finished washing and came to the front yard, she realized what the surprise her mother was saying. It turned out that there were three boys standing in the hall of the front yard. One of them was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a tall and handsome look. Qinghe was very familiar with her eyebrows, just like Li Haochen who left a few years ago.

"Are you brother Haochen?" Qinghe asked softly in a while.

The man opposite smiled and said, "What? I haven't met for a few years, and Qinghe doesn't know me anymore? You are like this, but Brother Haochen is very sad." It turns out that this person is the current prince.

Qinghe also remembered his identity at this time, and stepped forward to Yingying to bow, "The little woman has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Okay, you'd better not call that. I felt awkward when I heard it. Here, I am the Li Haochen of the past, not a prince. Isn't it? Qingyuan?" Li Haochen waved his hand and refused to let Qinghe be so polite.

"Yes, Sister Qinghe, we are all a family, why bother so much?" Qingyuan and Qingyao came forward and saw Qinghe.

For a moment, all my childhood playmates gathered together, but they all grew up and everyone felt something was changing, and they couldn't help but sigh.

"Qinghe, you have had any fun experiences after so many years? Tell us." Li Haochen stared at the girl in front of him. God knows how much he missed her over the years. Now the person he missed is right in front of him, but he felt like he was in a dream.

Last month, Qingning wrote to Qingyuan, and told the news that Qinghe, who had been away from home for four years, was about to return. When Li Haochen heard about this news, he went to work with Li Mingrui for several days, and finally got Li Mingrui's approval and brought him to Quanzhou. Along the way, he was thinking about what the girl he was from back then should look like now.

In the years he returned to Beijing, his mind was always the three years they had spent together day and night. In such a worry-free and happy days, a weird little girl had attracted all her thoughts. He was nineteen years old, and his mother had asked him how many times he wanted to choose a crown princess for him. But he envied the innocent relationship of the emperor, the emperor aunt, the master and the aunt, and the innocent ones, for a lifetime. So after getting the support of his father, he rejected the proposal of his mother. He also wanted to have such pure emotions, even if he lost his identity as a crown prince, he would do whatever he could.

But can she understand her thoughts when the smiling woman in front of her?
