The weather is getting hotter.

The temperature rises in the summer in the capital, and it feels hotter than in Shenshu Village.

Mrs. Bai said it was because there was less vegetation in the capital than in Shenshu Village. After all, Shenshu Village was located in a mountainous area. In summer, the vegetation was lush and the streams were gurgling. In addition to feeling hot when working, it was actually very cool under the shade of the trees in the village.

What Mrs. Bai doesn't know is that this summer in Beijing is hotter than in previous years.

Rich families in the capital store ice cubes every year for use in the summer.

The Bai family had just arrived in the capital less than a year ago and there was no ice at home.

Bai Sanzhuang, who came to the capital in advance, was inexperienced and did not think of storing ice in winter. Now that the weather is hot, he can't buy it even with a lot of money.

Fortunately, the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion and the people in Beijing who had good relations with the Zhen family provided friendly sponsorship to the Bai family.

The Queen Mother was worried that Mrs. Bai and Xiao Fuyuan, old and young, could not bear the heat, so she sent someone to bring enough ice cubes.

Even so, when the sun rose, it was still very hot, and Xiao Fuyuan wanted to sleep with ice cubes in his arms.

Of course, Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai would definitely disagree.

Originally, the Queen Mother and the Empress wanted Xiao Fuyuan to spend the summer in the palace. After all, the palace had various ways to escape the summer heat, which was much more comfortable than the Bai family.

But Xiao Fuyuan refused. Firstly, she wanted to study with Su Yu, and secondly, she didn't want to be separated from her family.

Little Fuyuan was woken up by the heat early in the morning.

There were two red marks from the mat on his face, like snow-white glutinous rice dumplings stained with rouge.

Honghua brought the cold mung bean soup, and Xiao Fuyuan drank it all in one gulp.

This is her daily habit when the weather gets hot. She must drink a bowl of iced mung bean soup when she wakes up, otherwise her whole body will become overheated.

Qingcao brought ice cubes and placed them next to the bed, then raised a fan to fan herself. The cool air on the ice cubes was sent to Xiao Fuyuan along with the convection air, and Xiao Fuyuan breathed in the cool breeze.

My whole body feels relaxed.

Qiuniang came up to help little Fuyuan get dressed.

She held a beautiful dress in her hand.

"Sew it according to your drawing and see if it fits properly?"

Qiuniang shook the skirt in her hand.

The Mickey Mouse on the goose-yellow-trimmed skirt came alive. Xiao Fuyuan smiled when she saw it. This was the Mickey Mouse skirt she wanted.

Qiuniang sighed, Xiao Fuyuan had so many ideas, I'm afraid no one else in the entire capital would wear such a skirt.

"Sister Qiu's hands are so skillful." Xiao Fuyuan praised.

Then she stood up and put on her skirt, walked to the floor, put on her leather shoes, and turned a few times in front of the mirror. The Mickey Mouse on the skirt seemed to come alive as she turned.

She also painted her little leather shoes by herself. There was no shoemaker in the city who knew how to make little leather shoes. The Queen Mother ordered the imperial shoemaker to nail them for her.

The red flowers and green grass looked at it with their eyes wide open. Not to mention, the princess looked really good dressed like this, just like a little fairy.

"Sister Qiu, we will go out of the city to meet Fifth Brother in a moment."

Qiuniang's hand combing Xiao Fuyuan's hair paused.

Today, the Bai family is happy from top to bottom, because the fifth son of the Bai family has entered Beijing today.

Not only the Bai family, but the entire capital will be mobilized, because in addition to accepting rewards, the most important thing for the Northwest Army to come to Beijing this time is to offer prisoners.

As early as ten days ago, everyone in the capital was discussing the power of the northwest army and the defeat of the Rong Kingdom.

Rongguo has been like a knife hanging over Xiaguo's head for more than ten years. Now this knife has finally been bent. This makes the whole dynasty excited.

Being able to see with their own eyes the arrogant Rongguo army being escorted into Beijing as prisoners, and among them the once feared Rongguo coach Third Prince He Lianliang, every person in the capital felt proud and honored for the Northwest Army.

At this time, the fifth child of the Bai family was the main force escorting Helian Liang to Beijing.

The opposite of the heated atmosphere in the capital was Qiuniang, because her brother was a prisoner and a prisoner.

"Sister Qiu, do you hate my fifth brother?" Xiao Fuyuan asked in the mirror. Qiuniang shook her head.

She hates no one.

"My fourth brother will arrange for you to meet your brother." Xiao Fuyuan said.

The fourth son of the Bai family was the envoy to welcome the prisoners this time, and was also responsible for reading out the rewards of the Northwest Army, the treatment of the prisoners, and other edicts.

Qiuniang didn't say anything, and carefully tucked Xiao Fuyuan's hair.

According to Xiao Fuyuan's request, there was no jewelry on her head, only a bow, which echoed the Mickey Mouse on her skirt.

"Sister Qiu, you better hold this seal."

Xiao Fuyuan handed the seal to Qiuniang.

Brother and sister Qiuniang and Helianliang have been separated for so many years, and their looks are definitely not what they were when they were young. That seal is a token of recognition between the two.

Qiuniang took the seal and squeezed it tightly into her hand.

In fact, these days, she was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother meant the same as what Xiao Fuyuan mentioned, hoping that she would return to the Rong Kingdom and support He Lianliang's son to succeed to the throne.

Bai Panmei analyzed for her that the nephew's succession was the best plan for both countries.

What she didn't know was that the imperial court had sent someone to secretly take her nephew to Beijing.

"Princess, did you sleep well last night? Breakfast is ready."

I wish my mother a happy face and lead Xiao Fuyuan to have breakfast.

"I slept well." Xiao Fuyuan said.

"Princess, I heard that our fifth young master is extremely strong and can move hundreds of kilograms of boulders at a young age?"

The whole Bai family has been immersed in the joy of Bai Zhaomei coming to Beijing these days. Zhu's mother got a lot of old news about Bai Zhaomei from Dalang and others. She has not seen Bai Zhaomei yet, so she is curious.

"Indeed." Xiao Fuyuan nodded, "My fifth brother also killed a female insect."

"Huo, so powerful." Zhu's mother exclaimed repeatedly, becoming even more curious about the fifth young master who had become a deputy general at a young age.

"Lao Zhang, the porter, went to the street early in the morning and said that the street was full of people, waiting to see the prisoners. If you ask me, those Rong people should have their heads chopped off and hung at the city gate. Who allowed them to be at the border? Evildoers.”

Mother Zhu talked about her hatred for the Rong people.

Qiuniang, who was walking behind Xiao Fuyuan, held her hand tightly.

"Grandma, daddy, mommy."

Xiao Fuyuan came to the dining table and greeted her sweetly.

"Hurry up and eat. After eating well, we can go and greet your fifth brother."

Mrs. Bai was so happy that the wrinkles on her face were smoothed, her whole body was completely renewed, and she even had a rare gold hairpin in her head.

Not only Mrs. Bai, but also the whole family put on new clothes, with happiness on their faces.

Since Lao Wu went to the northwest border, except for Bai Dazhuang and Bai Erzhuang, no one else has seen Lao Wu again, and they can't imagine what Lao Wu looks like in military uniform.

Everyone wanted to rush to the city gate to see what was going on.

Although today's meeting may only be a quick glance, it cannot stop the Bai family's eagerness to see Lao Wu.

Xiao Fuyuan finished her meal in a hurry and was carried out of the house by the white wooden board.

As soon as you go out, you can feel that the atmosphere is already heated up.

Xiao Fuyuan got on the carriage.

As soon as the carriage turned out of the alley, it met the carriages of the Wu family and the Liu family waiting.
