That look was very much like a husband returning from a trip, slightly angry at his wife for not taking good care of him.
Lin Wanyi was not an ignorant person, so she immediately handed over the hot tea.
"I'm thinking that New Year's Eve is coming soon, isn't it? There will be court meetings and banquets at that time, and you will get cold if you sit for a long time, so I added some fine velvet inside to make it warmer when worn."
With that said, he brought the flannel over.
The emperor glanced at her and thought about her thoughts, then he stopped blaming her.
Seeing that the emperor no longer pursued the matter, Lin Wanyi changed the subject.
"Your Majesty travels very quickly. I heard from Eunuch Qin that it will take about ten days to reach Beijing."
The emperor raised his head and glanced at Lin Wanyi, obviously very satisfied that she would care about his return date.
So he opened his mouth to explain.
"It will take ten days for the large team of troops to arrive, but I will be back first."
Hearing this, Lin Wanyi was even more surprised than when she saw the emperor.
"Your Majesty... did you run back by yourself?"
The emperor couldn't deny it, but he obviously agreed with the answer.
Lin Wanyi didn't know what to say for a while.
The emperor's safety was of concern to the entire Wei Dynasty, especially since he was now in his prime. If someone did something bad, wouldn't it be troublesome!
Thinking that he might have come back early for her own sake, Lin Wanyi felt a little unable to bear this grace.
His face was solemn but also filled with a hint of embarrassment and reproach.
"Don't worry. Uncle Fourth King escorted me all the way to more than two hundred miles away before letting me come back by myself. Besides, I took away his personal guard camp, so I didn't encounter any trouble along the way."
It's more than two hundred miles away, so why does it still take ten days?
If we had traveled faster, we should have arrived in two days at most.
Seeing Lin Wanyi's confusion, the emperor explained.
"The Jinshui River was not completely frozen when I left. After I left, I said that the bridge was frozen apart, so I had to wait until it was repaired before I could cross the river."
It was only thanks to the Fourth Prince that he could come up with such a troublesome "excuse".
However, the fourth prince did not know that the emperor was traveling all the way in order to come to the palace to see Lin Wanyi as soon as possible.
I thought he had other arrangements, so he agreed to cover.
Even Dong Yuzhong stayed there just to deceive others.
If the fourth prince knew the truth, his beard would be furious.
The majestic emperor of the Wei Dynasty actually risked his life and left the army because of his lovesickness.
In the eyes of the fourth prince, this is something only a confused emperor would do.
Thinking of this, the emperor's face showed an imperceptible smile and pride.
If someone had told him a few months ago that he would be a "faint king" and behaved like this, he would probably have to chop off someone's head to calm down.
Nowadays, it is no wonder that there is a saying that "from now on the king will not come to court early".
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Only a few people know about my return. Qin An, Qiu Ming and the maids around you are fine, but there are too many people in Ruiyangxuan, and there are too many people.
As for the miscellaneous things, let Qiu Ming send some away tomorrow."
"Yes, your Majesty, don't worry."
Even if the emperor didn't say anything about it, Lin Wanyi would arrange it.
The road was difficult to travel in the snow, and they were all recuperating in the palace, so staying away for ten and a half days did not arouse any suspicion.
But it would be better if there was one less person in Ruiyangxuan who knew and had one less security.
"I'm hungry, please ask someone to pass on the food."
"good."
Lin Wanyi walked to the door and asked Xia An to bring hot water in. First, he washed the emperor briefly, and then asked someone to bring food.
When the second prince and the second princess happily entered the door, they were frightened by their father in front of them.
The second princess was unfamiliar with the emperor's smell, so she cried a little after entering.
On the other hand, the second prince's face was full of shock.
"Father, why are you back?"
"This servant has come to see the Emperor and wishes His Majesty to be well."
Everyone in the room was a little trembling at the moment.
They were also caught off guard by the emperor's sudden arrival.
"Well, let's all get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nanny Du was the most attentive. After a careful look around, she saw that Dong Yuzhong was not waiting in front of the emperor.
I knew there must be something fishy inside.
He glanced outside again and saw that some of the palace servants who would be doing some chores a few days ago were gone.
The only people waiting outside the door were Qiu Ming and Xiao Luzi, and they understood immediately.
Apparently, the emperor did not want outsiders to know about his return.
So I came up with the idea that I must give a good explanation to the Second Prince, Aunt Ji, and the wet nurse later, otherwise if something goes wrong, the people in this room will be the ones in trouble in the end.
"Let's eat first. Your father has been busy traveling and traveling, and he hasn't had anything hot to eat yet."
Lin Wanyi spoke up to rescue the emperor.
Although the second prince is young, he is not stupid.
Seeing this, he didn't say much and immediately sat down in a polite manner.
Not far away, the second princess was still in the arms of Grandma Ji. At this moment, her round eyes were fixedly looking at the emperor.
Slightly repulsive.
"Second Princess, don't you recognize me?"
The emperor didn't even have time to attend the second princess's full moon, so he left the palace in a hurry.
After leaving, when he came back, the child could hold him upright and naturally he would not recognize him.
But the emperor thought that the second princess's brain damage was still serious, so he was worried.
Knowing that he had misunderstood, Lin Wanyi immediately explained.
"The second princess is not very familiar with His Majesty, that's why she is like this. It would be better if it takes a few more days."
So he walked up to Grandma Ji and stretched out his hand.
Sure enough, the second princess smiled and got into Lin Wanyi's arms again.
Seeing this, the emperor's heart dropped a lot.
It's enough to be able to recognize people, otherwise if the majestic princess is really stupid, she will probably be wronged in her life.
Lin Wanyi carried the second princess and sat down at the table.
Then he whispered in her ear.
"Second Princess, this is your father."
The emperor was full of curiosity about his youngest daughter, but unfortunately she had no feelings for him.
After his eyes rolled around in circles, he immediately got into Lin Wanyi's arms and hid.
How adorable is that little look?
"Is she afraid of me?"
The emperor was puzzled. He had never done anything, so why would the second princess be afraid?
"The second princess is not afraid of Your Majesty, but she feels a little strange. She will be fine after getting used to it in a couple of days."
The emperor had never participated in the upbringing of any child, so he did not know anything about it.
The only three children who have grown up can also speak and dance.
When I see him, I will naturally say hello.
This is indeed the first time I have seen the second princess look like this.
So he made up his mind and said.
"After this trip to Mount Tai, I will stay in Shengjing City. If there is an autumn hunt next year, I will take you with me, don't worry."
