Chapter 396 Leaving Beijing

Author: Feng Chuxiao

Lu Sage was going to Jiangjiaba, so he went to sit with the Queen in the Queen Mother's Palace first.

Perhaps because he was afraid that Lu Sheige would run away, the Emperor arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace early in the morning to wait.

The weather was cold during these days, so Chen Luxing wore thick clothes. The earth dragon that was burned in Renshou Palace was added to the charcoal fire because the emperor came. In this way, the emperor's face was still pale, and even his eyebrows were as cold as frost.

Chen Luxing was the fastest runner. After entering the palace, he ran towards the Queen Mother: "Grandma, can I go to Jiangjiaba with my aunt?"

He knew that the Queen Mother loved him and was not as strict as his father.

He also knew that he could only discuss this matter with his aunt and grandmother. Although his mother was a queen, it was useless to listen to her father's words.

The Queen Mother lovingly touched Chen Luxing's soft hair and asked with a smile: "Why do you want to go to Jiangjiaba with your aunt? It's windy in the countryside, but it's cold. Aren't you afraid of freezing your little hands and feet?"

"I'm not afraid of the cold."

Not only did Chen Luxing want to go, but he also forgot about his little aunt who played well with him. "Grandma, just let me and my aunt go. My little aunt also wants to go. We must not be naughty."

The Queen Mother said gently: "Grandma's words don't count. You have to ask your father and the queen."

After asking his father and queen, Chen Luxing found out that it was not that he did not dare, but that he knew there was no hope and did not want to ask for trouble.

Chen Yuan stood aside, not even daring to take a breath.

She was afraid that the emperor's brother and sister-in-law would be unhappy, and she was even more afraid of the Queen Mother's reprimand, although the Queen Mother had never reprimanded her.

Unlike her mother-in-law, who hugged her sweetheart and screamed when she was happy, if she did something wrong, her mother-in-law would also turn against her and scold her.

The Queen Mother was also kind to her, but she treated everyone equally, not like she was to Sister Shege. When my sister talked to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's eyes seemed to be as bright as light. She was also not as nice as she usually was to the little prince.

, gentle and doting, sometimes even a little indulgent.

The queen was very worried on the side, fearing that the emperor would agree, so she hurriedly said: "Xing'er, you are the prince, how can you leave the palace at will?"

Chen Luxing asked in confusion: "Then why can aunt be the only one? Aunt is still a princess."

The queen was speechless when asked, and didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only look at the emperor for help.

Lu Hebei was tired and rarely spoke. During the past few days, the whole family had been reunited. What he liked most was to stay alone and watch the family lively and lively, as if just looking at the happiness could be absorbed into his bones.

generally.

"Auntie is an adult, and you are still a child."

The emperor waved his hand and signaled Chen Luxing to come over, "It's not that your father, the Queen and the Empress don't want you and your aunt to leave the palace. It's because you went to Jiangjiaba. What should your grandmother and the Queen and your Empress miss you?"

"Yes, yes, what should I do if my grandmother, father, queen and mother miss you?" After the queen finished speaking, she felt that it was not solemn enough and added, "You have to visit your sister every day. What if your sister can't see you crying?"

manage."

Chen Luxing liked his sister Chen Luming very much and went to Jiaofang Hall to see his sister every day.

Thinking about not being able to see his sister, Chen Luxing hesitated again.

He glanced at Chen Yuan secretly and thought, otherwise, he might as well not go.

Chen Yuan pursed her lips after being peeked at and said nothing. She saw the hesitation in Chen Luxing's eyes and felt more and more that she wanted to visit Jiangjiaba.

She heard that the concubine had told another concubine about Jiangjiaba before, and that it seemed to be the place where the concubine was born.

Maybe she can find her relatives there.

At midnight, Lu Sheige's carriage slowly drove out of the palace.

The hundred Yulin guards escorting Princess Changle's carriage were all carefully selected by the emperor. Not only were they all handsome and tall, but they were also very skilled. The leader, Chen Xiaohu, was Lu Xiange's cousin, and he is now the captain of the Yulin School. His official position is

He is not very high, but he can still be regarded as a confidant of the emperor.

Hearing that Lu Sage was going to Jiangjiaba to celebrate the Lunar New Year, Chen Xiaohu took the initiative to ask Ying to escort him.

Eight carriages and one hundred feathered forest guards.

One of the carriages was occupied by Lu Xiangge, and the other was occupied by the palace maid who served Lu Xiangge. She was returning to her hometown as a princess this time, so she should have the necessary style.

Wan Zhao and Qing Qing waited on Lu Sheige's carriage during the day. At night, only one of them slept at the carriage door, while the other returned to the carriage behind to rest.

The other six cars were filled with more than thirty boxes of various sizes, as well as utensils and clothing used by Lu Shege.

In the six carriages, there were various gifts from Lu Shege to the Lu family, including food, drink and entertainment. There were also gold and silver jewelry prepared by the emperor, silk and satin prepared by the queen, and six large gifts prepared by the queen mother.

Lu Shege didn't even know what was in the box.

When Eunuch Cheng brought a dozen young eunuchs to deliver it, she only had time to thank her, and she didn't even know what the Queen Mother had given her.

Looking at the posture, I knew that she was just going back to celebrate the New Year and would be back on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. I didn't know, but I thought she was going to settle down in Jiangjiaba and never come back.

However, that’s pretty much what it means.

The Lu family returned to Jiangjiaba before the twelfth lunar month. Lu Quan's job was a sinecure. He didn't have to go to court or work. He could go or not every day, and he only needed to receive a monthly salary.

Their family had no relatives or friends in Beijing, so they simply returned to Jiangjiaba during the Chinese New Year.

With all the relatives and friends here, the New Year will be lively and happy.

In Lu Quan's words, when we return to Jiangjiaba, maybe Sheige will come back to celebrate the New Year. Shege doesn't like the capital, so he has been away and rarely comes back.

Mrs. Qiu also believed what Lu Quan said. Besides, she wanted to go back to Jiangjiaba more than Lu Quan did. Her two daughters had to go back to her husband’s house to celebrate the New Year. They couldn’t be allowed to rush back to Jiangjiaba during the Chinese New Year and rush back to Jiangjiaba on the second day of the new year.

I rushed to the capital to pay New Year's greetings. Not only did the adults suffer, but the children also suffered.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Princess Changle will take a hundred Yulin guards and drive north by car, passing through Huai City and entering Liocheng. Then they will get on a big ship and follow the ship into the sea.

At this point, Princess Changle of the Great Shang Dynasty will disappear into the sea, and no one knows when she will come back.

And she will go to Beijing with Chen Xiaohu.

From now on, she will personally bury her brother, raise her nieces and nephews, be filial to her aunt, rule the world, govern the Shang Dynasty well, and restore peace and prosperity to her nephews.

It's not easy even thinking about it, but there is no way back for her.

As the capital was getting further and further away, Lu Sheige lifted the car curtain and looked outside. In the distance, there was white snow covering the earth.

The ice and snow have not melted yet. Looking around, there are almost no other colors visible except white.

Chen Xiaohu rode over and spoke to Lu Xiangge through the car window: "Little sister, it's windy outside, be careful of the cold."

"It's okay, I have plenty to wear."

Lu Xiangge raised his hand to show him the thick clothes on his body.

The carriage was covered with brocade quilts, and even the surrounding areas and the roof of the carriage were carefully covered with thick brocade quilts.

Not to mention that the cold wind couldn't blow in, even if Lu Sheige accidentally fell inside, it probably wouldn't hurt.

The charcoal basin cannot be placed, so Wuzhao specially prepared a hand stove and a foot stove for fear that Lu Sheige would freeze.

Under Chen Xiaohu's dissatisfied gaze, Lu Sheige put down the car curtain and hugged the quilt, closing his eyes to rest.

It only takes half a day to get to Jiangjiaba from Beijing by water, but more than a day by land.

The carriage was rickety and we didn't know how long we had been walking.

Lu Xiuge had just fallen asleep when he heard a noise from behind, followed by a knocking sound on the car window, and Chen Xiaohu's anxious voice came from outside the car window.
