Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 558: Hongyue Returns Home

royal palace.

When Hongyue left the palace today, she was very excited.

Because this was her first time returning home since she was sold into the palace at the age of eight.

She is eighteen years old this year and she hasn't been home for ten years.

Her impression of her family is that her grandparents and parents loved her very much.

Her younger brothers and sisters are also very attached to her.

She still remembered that when she was taken away, her mother hugged her and cried inconsolably.

Her brothers and sisters ran a long way following the carriage that took her away.

Thinking of this, she became more eager to see her family.

Ten years have passed, and I still don’t know what my home is like now.

Unlike Xiaojuan, whose home is in the capital.

Hongyue's home is in the countryside outside the capital. Even if you take a carriage, it takes a long time to walk out of the city gate.

So after Hongyue left the palace, she rented a carriage.

After she gave the address, the carriage quickly drove towards the city gate.

Hongyue was sitting in the carriage, lifting the curtain and looking out.

The hustle and bustle of the capital city made her feel particularly happy.

But after leaving the city gate, you will reach the suburbs.

The suburban villages, the mountains, forests and fields began to come into her sight.

When we first left the city, the road conditions were good and the villages looked fairly neat.

As the carriage traveled for a long time, the roads became difficult to travel on.

The villages that appeared in Hongyue's eyes also looked uneven.

And those houses were all low thatched houses.

It can be clearly seen that the suburbs are much richer than these places.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Hongyue Village.

"Girl, the village you mentioned is ahead. This village is full of small roads and carriages can't enter."

The coachman said to Hongyue.

Hongyue jumped off the carriage and looked at this place that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

"Uncle, could you please come here early tomorrow afternoon to pick me up? I can give you more for the fare."

Since Hongyue lived a little far away, Fanghua specifically told her about it.

If she really can't go back today, she can go back tomorrow.

It's almost noon now, and it's obvious that she can't make it back in time.

The driver of the carriage was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face. He readily agreed.

Hongyue watched the carriage go away before starting to walk towards the village.

It can be said that she was in a very heavy mood throughout the journey.

Because most of the children she saw along the way were shirtless and barefoot.

Some girls who were a little more particular also wore tattered clothes.

The clothes worn by the adults were all patched up with patches.

But no matter adults or children, they were all looking at Hongyue curiously as she walked into their village.

They were wondering in their hearts which family this brightly dressed girl was from.

Looking at these people, they were all looking at me with curiosity and envy.

Hongyue couldn't help but feel a sense of pride rising in her heart.

She suddenly felt like a standout among the crowd.

Because she felt that the current village was no longer worthy of her.

She, Hongyue, will go higher and further in the future, and these people are not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

Hongyue ignored the people who were looking at her and talking about her in whispers.

She held her bag and walked towards the place where she remembered her home with her head held high.

"Girl, who are you looking for in the village?"

An old lady who looked quite old asked Hongyue.

"Grandma, I am Hongyue from the Wu family in the village."

Hongyue had a vague impression of the old lady who was asking her the question.

But she was gone for far too long.

So for a moment, she couldn't remember where this old lady was from.

"From the Wu family... Oh my God, you are the eldest daughter of the Wu family. Are you going to be a queen? How come you are so beautiful?"

The old lady screamed loudly.

Don't blame her for making a fuss.

Everyone in the village knew that the eldest daughter of the Wu family had entered the palace.

The Hongyue in front of her now not only had a ruddy complexion, but was also dressed very elegantly.

Because the material of the clothes she was wearing was given to her and Xiaojuan by Huang Ye, who asked Hongdou to find it from the warehouse.

It can be said that there is nothing bad in Huang Ye’s warehouse.

The light blue dress that Hongyue is wearing now is still shining faintly under the reflection of the sunlight.

Moreover, the pink palace flower on her head was also extremely delicate and beautiful.

This was also the reward given to them by Huang Ye.

I heard Hongyue say that she was the eldest daughter of the Wu family.

Even those who were standing far away and talking would come over to ask her questions.

There was also a little kid with sharp eyes who quickly went to the Wu family to report the news.

Hongyue walked towards her home while talking to the people who came up to greet her.

She still remembers many of these people.

"Red Moon... Red Moon..."

A gray-haired woman stumbled over.

She kept calling Hongyue's name.

"mother…"

Hongyue recognized this woman as her biological mother.

Hongyue's mother rushed over and hugged Hongyue.

"My son, I miss you so much. Are you doing well now? Let me see..."

Hongyue's mother cried and pulled Hongyue to look left and right.

"Mother, I am living well in the palace."

Seeing her mother crying like this, Hongyue also shed tears.

Behind Hongyue Niang followed a ragged little girl.

She tugged at Hongyue's clothes and timidly called her "Mom".

"This is your younger sister. She was born to your mother after you left. Hongcao... This is your older sister..."

Hongyue's mother wiped her tears and pulled the little girl in front of Hongyue.

"Sister..."

The little girl's voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.

Hongyue touched the little girl's face.

This pale and skinny little girl looked almost exactly the same as she remembered when she was a child.

"Your father and his men are still working in the mountains, and your younger brother has already gone to call him."

Hongyue's mother happily took Hongyue and walked home.

Hongyue could still hear the discussions coming from behind even after she had walked a long way.

The content of those discussions was almost all about envy of the Wu family's prosperity.

Their daughter has made great progress.

Looking at the familiar house in front of her, Hongyue felt her eyes a little sore again.

This house was one of the three thatched houses that existed when she was at home.

But now two more thatched houses have been built next to this house.

Hongyue's two younger brothers and his father also rushed back from the fields at this time.

"Red Moon."

"Miss."

Hongyue's father and brother called out to Hongyue at the same time.

"This is your older brother. When you left, he cried for a long time."

Hongyue Niang began to wipe her tears again.

Hongyue looked at his younger brother who had grown into a grown man.

Her younger brother is fourteen years old this year.

And the little brother was still in swaddling clothes when she left.

And her father also looks very old.
