Xiao Xian wanted to ask the emperor if he could go to the north.
The emperor and queen looked at him with smiles, "Will Prince Yan go to negotiate with the eldest princess himself?"
Xiao Xian immediately darkened his face, "No need."
The emperor then said: "Then I will ask the eldest princess for you. It is also possible to change it."
You can't stay cold like this all the time. It's not a big deal. It's just a child's temper. Everyone can just laugh it off and don't take it seriously at all.
But Xiao Xian didn't think so. He never wanted to have anything to do with Changsun Xian anymore.
He immediately said: "I accept the order."
At this moment, the emperor had no choice but to ask him to go back and pack up and set off early.
When Xiao Xian returned to the mansion, Shen Mingzhu and Shen Mingtang were waiting for him with Concubine Xie. When he came back, they all came to greet him.
"how?"
From their eyes, I saw concern.
Xiao Xian smiled and said, "Nothing."
He showed them the imperial edict, and Concubine Xie complained dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you tell His Majesty that you wanted to leave Beijing to escape the cold? Why did you let you go?"
Xiao Xian said: "Didn't you ask me to go to the south? It's also warm in winter there, so it can be considered a refuge from the cold."
Concubine Xie frowned, "You agree?"
Xiao Xian looked at Shen Mingzhu apologetically, "His Majesty said it could be changed, but I don't want to be with the eldest princess..."
Shen Mingzhu nodded, "I understand, I support you, don't change with her, just go south, let's go together."
Xiao Xian shook his head, "No, you go first, and I will follow. Anyway, when I go to the south, I won't make a big fuss. I just need to report to His Majesty the situation there regularly. I don't have to do those things myself.
, It’s good to have subordinates. If they use my tips, everything will be easy to handle, and I don’t need to go there myself.”
He has several staff who can imitate his handwriting exactly, and there will be no mistakes at all.
This arrangement is not bad. Concubine Xie smiled and said: "I think your Majesty originally wanted to embarrass you, but I didn't expect you to agree. Just do it like this. Anyway, there are people watching for you, and the emperor doesn't know whether you are there or not.
nothing."
Shen Mingzhu just laughed. Besides, even if he needed to show up, Xiao Xian would definitely be similar in stature and aura to him. It would not be impossible to disguise himself and be a substitute when the time comes.
Xiao Xian said: "However, I still have to take a look and make some arrangements first. Then I won't be able to go with you. If we go together, our whereabouts will be easily exposed."
Shen Mingzhu naturally agreed and said with a slight smile: "Xiao Xian, we arranged this secretly, why do I feel like we are eloping."
Xiao Xian was startled, and then a warm current surged in his heart, as sweet as a spring. Everyone said that he was running away to become a concubine, but Mingzhu could actually say such things to himself. Although it didn't mean that she really wanted to elope and become a concubine, she was indeed right.
He is very, very good, otherwise she would never make such a joke.
He hugged her tightly, with infinite affection, "Even if we have to elope, it will be after we get married." He lowered his head, facing her with sparkling light, and was extremely happy.
So they made arrangements. Shen Mingzhu, Shen Mingtang and his entourage set off north first, while Xiao Xian took the people south. After a while, Xiao Xian would turn north and meet them at Daizhou's farm.
When parting, a group of people were reluctant to leave.
Xiao Xian took Shen Mingzhu and whispered behind everyone's back. Although they would meet again soon, he couldn't bear to let her leave his sight.
