Because he was traveling with three children, Xiao Yeyang did not hurry on their journey. Whenever they encountered lively places, Daohua would have the three children get off the carriage to experience the local customs.
After a shaky ride, it wasn't until mid-March that Xiao Yeyang and his group entered the Capital Boundary.
"Mom, look quick, are we about to arrive in Beijing?"
Daozi leaned on the carriage window, excitedly pointing at the distant and imposing city walls.
Daohua smiled and said, "Yes, we're about to arrive in Beijing." Then she pulled Daozi back to a seated position and let down the carriage curtains.
"Once we enter the city, we can't be as wild as we were on the road."
Daozi nodded and sat up straight, "Mom, I know. Dad has already told me. He said Beijing is under the Emperor's feet, with numerous rules. Everything we do represents our Prince Residence; we must not lose face."
Seeing Daozi so sensible, Daohua felt very relieved.
