Remember "Bookworm" in one second.

  Luoyang City is located north of the Luo River, and the north of a river is called "yang", hence the name Luoyang.

  Luoyang is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with the Qinling Mountains to the west, Mount Song to the east, the Wangwu Mountain to the north, and the Yellow River to the south. It has been said since ancient times that "there are eight passes in the city, eight faces surrounding the mountain, and five waters surrounding Luoyang City". Therefore, it is also known as "the best place under heaven" and "the center of the world, the thoroughfare of ten provinces".

  After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the capital was established in Luoyang. It has been two hundred years since then. In these two hundred years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been prosperous and strong, with a rich and sufficient national strength. The capital city of Luoyang is not only the political center of the Great Zhou Dynasty but also the most prosperous and wealthy city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

  Inside and outside Luoyang City, water transportation is developed, with more than a dozen rivers such as the Yellow River, Luohe River, Yih River, Qinghe River winding through.

  The fleet sailed to the dock outside Dingdeng Gate and anchored there.

  "Finally! We're back in the capital city!" Ling Jingyan couldn't sit still, excitedly standing up on tiptoes to look outside: "After sitting on a boat for half a month, I'm suffocating."

  A joyful look, as if eager to fly out of the cabin.

  Returning to the familiar Luoyang City, Sun's heart was also quite delighted, but her mouth scolded: "Look at Ah-hua, when she first arrived in Beijing, she could hold back her temper and sit quietly without moving. Look at you, jumping around like a wild monkey, where is the dignity of a young lady?"

  Unlike before, when someone praised Ling Jingxuan, Ling Jingyan would feel a little uncomfortable.

  These days, Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingxuan have been together day and night on the same boat, their feelings have become increasingly deep, and they have also developed a subtle admiration for Ling Jingxuan, and after hearing such words, they didn't think much of it.

  Ling Jingyan made a face at her mother, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm just a wild monkey without a fixed nature. Mother, isn't it not very good for you to say that about your own daughter? If I'm a wild monkey, then aren't you a mother monkey?"

  Sun was amused and burst out laughing.

  Everyone else also burst out laughing.

  Ling Jingyan excitedly pulled Ling Jingxiao's hand: "Jingxiao, come with me to the window. You must have never seen such a large and numerous dock before! I'll tell you, this is nothing. Later, when we get on the carriage and enter Dingding Gate, I'll definitely make your eyes wide open."

  "This Luoyang city has a distinction between the inner and outer cities. The inner city includes the imperial palace and the imperial city, while the outer city is also known as the outer city wall. There are eight gates in total for entering the city, with Dingding Gate being the main gate of the outer city wall, directly leading to the imperial city. After passing through Dingding Gate, it becomes Dingding Gate Street, which commoners have gotten used to calling Tianjie (Heavenly Street). This Heavenly Street is incredibly spacious, and even a dozen horse-drawn carriages can travel side by side without feeling crowded..."

  Ling Jingxu followed Ling Jingyan to the window and gazed into the distance.

  The water surface is wide and open, with dozens of large and small docks built. The ships come and go frequently. At a rough glance, there are no less than 100 ships moored at the docks. There are all kinds of official and civilian ships, as well as merchant ships loaded with rice, grain, cloth, porcelain, tea leaves and other goods.

  Coolies on the dock were busy transporting goods. Hawkers selling things were shouting diligently, a bustling scene.

  About two miles from the dock is the majestic Dingding Gate.

  Even from a distance, the sturdy and towering city gate can still be seen. In front of the city gate, horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians formed long queues, and the guards checked the road permits before allowing them to pass through.

  ......

  This is Luoyang!

  Luoyang city, I finally arrived!

  Ling Jing was silently reciting in her heart. She thought of her past life, where she had waited bitterly for her husband but ended up being humiliated and dying unjustly. She thought of Changping Princess, who relied on her power to take away her husband. She thought of Empress Xu, who dominated the imperial harem... For a moment, her mind was dazed, and she didn't notice what Ling Jingyan said again.

  "Ah-shu! Ah-shu!" Ling Jingyan's discontented voice sounded in her ear: "I'm talking to you, why don't you even respond?"

  Ling Jingxu quickly came back to her senses, and with a apologetic smile at Ling Jingyan, said: "I've never seen such a large and numerous dock, nor have I seen such a majestic city gate. For a moment, I was stunned by the sight. Nor did I notice what you just said, I'm really sorry."

  At first glance, seeing such a prosperous scene, being shocked and stunned is also normal.

  Ling Jingyan smiled magnanimously and said, "This is nothing. After you get used to living in the capital city, it will be no surprise."

  Ling Jingxian smiled and said, "I accompanied Ah Xiao to Beijing to treat his eye disease. At most, we'll stay for a year or so before returning to Dingzhou. As good as Beijing is, it's not a place where my brother and I can stay for long. I'm afraid we won't have the chance to get used to living here."

  "It's not necessarily so."

  Chiang said with a half-true and half-false tone, full of meaning: "Maybe your marriage destiny is in the capital. In the future, you'll get married, have children, and live here for a long time!"

  Ling Jingxu didn't have any pretentious shyness, and upon hearing this, she smiled lightly and remained silent.

  The Sun family, however, was moved in their hearts.

  Ling Jingxian was born with such beauty. And intelligent and steady, far surpassing girls of the same age. After arriving in the capital, it's not hard to say that a good marriage is indeed not difficult... If there's a good opportunity, the future will be even more boundless.

  Ling Jingyan's sharp eyes caught something, and she hastily pulled at Ling Jingxu's sleeve: "Ah-xu, look quickly. The Ta Sun Palace's fleet has arrived at the dock over there. A row of carriages is already waiting there. Isn't that Ta Sun Palace's master getting off the gangway?"

  Ling Jingxu followed Ling Jingyan's line of sight and looked over.

  ......

  A handsome young man in a dark-colored brocade robe walked down the gangway with a calm and composed demeanor.

  The tall and robust East Palace Guards with exceptional martial skills surrounded him like a multitude of stars surrounding the moon.

  Although it didn't deliberately show off the grandeur of the Eastern Palace, this noble air and demeanor couldn't be hidden from people. The more than 200 Eastern Palace guards were even more eye-catching.

  Anyone with eyes can see that this group of people is of noble identity and extraordinary origin. Ordinary civilians naturally avoid them, and the small vendors who have been making a living at the dock for many years are even more discerning and will not come forward.

  In the midst of a bustling wharf where people came and went in endless streams, a large empty space suddenly appeared.

  The young man in black seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to look over at the moment he got on the horse carriage.

  Who is watching him?

  So far away, it's impossible to see who is standing behind that small window. However, he subconsciously knew it must be Ling Jingxu.

  Is she seeing him off?

  The young man in black slightly hooked up the corner of his lips, withdrew his gaze, and got on the carriage.

  "Ah-shu, just now Ta Sun was looking at you!" Ling Jingyan's low voice was full of excitement and surprise: "He must have guessed that it was you standing in front of the window."

  Ling Jingyu's reaction was very calm, almost indifferent: "If you can see who is standing in front of the window from such a distance, Ta Sun would not be human, but an eagle."

  Ling Jingyan: "......"

  How boring!

  There is no romantic feeling at all.

  Ling Jingyan rolled her eyes and didn't bother to respond to Ling Jingxiao anymore.

  Ling Jingyu's ears relaxed with pleasure, her eyes swept over the crown prince's carriage and quickly moved away.
