"Only four or five hours, not a day..." In Si Haochen's opinion, this kind of distance is already relatively short.
"Okay." I shouldn't expect anything from the traffic speed of this era.
Sitting like this was really boring. Mingruo took out the book he bought earlier from the space and flipped through it.
There are no interesting books in the bookstores in the town. This one is a story book. It tells the story of a scholar who got the honors and became an official. His wife, who was far away from home, traveled thousands of miles to find her husband. After going through many hardships along the way, she moved her husband. The newly married official lady agreed.
She entered the house and became a common wife, and finally had a happy ending.
Mingruo felt that her outlook on life was ruined, so she opened the small window and threw the book outside.
"Pfft." Si Haochen also read this book. After all, he was very bored in the valley. He had read several miscellaneous books Mingruo bought, "What are you doing to vent your anger with a book?"
"It's not worthy of being used as a book." Mingruo rolled his eyes.
"Don't you think it's touching that the woman suffered so much?"
"If you have that perseverance and perseverance, why should you go find a scumbag?" Mingruo rolled his eyes, "If you use half of your energy on business, you will probably become a rich woman long ago." Mingruo silently cursed.
, wouldn’t it be nice to become a rich woman looking for a little fresh meat? What else would you do with an old bacon that has been chewed by others...
"What is a scumbag?" Si Haochen had heard this word more than once, and he could guess what it meant based on the context, but he was still curious.
"He is a selfish, demanding and irresponsible man."
"Ahem." Si Haochen himself had been scolded as a scumbag, so he decided to tease the princess for a while, "Zhang Sheng also married another man after hearing from his fellow villagers that his wife was dead."
"Even if a relative or friend dies, you have to go to the grave to offer incense. That was his wife. I heard that he happily married someone else after his death. Is it very affectionate and righteous?" Ming Ruobai understood Si.
Haochen glanced at him and said, "Those are the three great joys for a man: getting promoted, getting rich, and killing his wife!"
"What nonsense are you talking about..." Si Haochen scolded, "How can it be called a happy event when everyone is dead!"
"If the old doesn't go, the new won't come." Mingruo shrugged.
"Don't read these messy books anymore!" Si Haochen's forehead bulged.
"Just now, some people said that I took out my anger on a book..." Mingruo instantly transformed into a little expert at insulting others.
"You threw it well, is it okay?" Si Haochen found that "playing with the princess" could easily make him angry. This activity should be abolished in the future.
At noon, they came to a small town. However, no restaurants or stalls were open for business in the town. Fifteen was dumbfounded. He thought he would have food when he entered the town. This was different from the imperial capital.
There are too many, and the master cannot be left hungry.
The Chinese New Year is a day for visiting relatives and friends, and there is a snack shop open on the roadside. Ming Ruo asked Shi Shi to stop the car and buy some snacks to make up for the meal.
Fifteen picked out various exquisite snacks and bought some. Mingruo saw a child in front of the store, holding the sesame seed cake he just bought and chewing it.
"Buy some more sesame cakes."
"Yes, ma'am." Fifteen went to buy five more sesame seed cakes.
The carriage clattered away from the town. Mingruo took out a piece of braised pork and a tomato from the space. Cut the braised pork and tomato into thin slices and put them into the sesame buns. The Chinese style burger was complete.
Mingruo took a bite and tasted it, and it tasted pretty good. The five buns were made into burgers and wrapped in oil paper respectively. He put away the kitchen utensils and leftover ingredients, and took out two to give to Shi Shi who was driving the car.
.
"Why don't you eat it?" Mingruo thought Si Haochen didn't like this, so he opened several other snacks.
Si Haochen poured a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Mingruo: "Waiting for you."
"Oh." Mingruo drank hot tea first and felt her stomach warmed up.
After a simple lunch, Mingruo rested her head in the carriage. The rocking carriage was very hypnotic, especially after closing her eyes, and Mingruo quickly fell asleep. Just when her head was about to hit the carriage,
Si Haochen quickly pulled Mingruo into his arms and let her lean against his chest.
Looking down at the sleeping woman in his arms, Si Haochen suddenly felt that his empty heart seemed to be filled. This feeling was very strange, something he had never felt before.
Since he did not spend time for lunch, he arrived at the palace earlier than expected. Shififu drove the carriage into the palace through the back door and did not stop until the entrance of Meiyuan.
Fifteen was about to tell his master that he had arrived, when he saw his prince jumping out of the carriage with the princess in his arms and heading straight to the sleeping palace.
The guard guarding the door only saw an afterimage, and asked Shi Shi with some confusion: "Did...the prince come back just now?"
"Yeah." Fifteen nodded.
"Why is the prince running so fast?" The guard was puzzled.
Fifteen is such a transparent person: "I'm afraid that your salute will disturb the princess's sleep."
"..." The two guards looked at each other, neither believing what Fifteen said.
The fact is that the truth has been revealed. As if holding a soft cloud, Si Haochen gently put Mingruo on the bed and covered her with a brocade quilt. He sat on the edge of the bed for a while before getting up and coming out.
Aunt Dong was startled when she saw the prince coming out of the bedroom - when did the prince come back? She had been in the yard the whole time and had no idea!
"Your Majesty..." Aunt Dong quickly stepped forward to pay her respects.
"The princess is resting, don't go in and disturb her." Si Haochen said as he walked to the study, "Prepare some hot food for when the princess wakes up."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Aunt Dong hurriedly went to prepare.
As soon as Si Haochen sat down in the armchair behind the desk, Bai Shen and Qin Mo arrived.
"My subordinate did something bad, please punish me." Both of them knelt down to apologize.
This time, they really neglected their duties. From the beginning, they didn't realize that there was an ambush by Mei Lin in Chongsheng Temple, and then Concubine Shen and Shen Bichi were used by Empress Dowager Qian to cause a farce. They searched for nearly a month, but they couldn't even find a hair of the prince.
, in the end, it was the prince who told them where to pick him up.
Si Haochen did not let the two of them get up: "What is the situation now?"
"Empress Dowager Qian sent out her most capable soldiers this time. After the mistake, she made no move. Danxu sent several groups of dragon guards to track down the whereabouts of the prince. The furthest ones have found the areas of Yanzhou and Qingzhou..." Qin
Silently replied.
Bai Shen continued: "There was no change in the court. Dan Xu tried to win over several important ministers who were loyal to the Supreme Emperor, but failed..."
After hearing all the information, Si Haochen's lips curled up slightly: "My king has recovered from his heart disease. On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be a big banquet for guests. Invitations will be sent to everyone who should be invited."
"My lord, is your heart disease really cured?" Qin Mo's eyes widened.
"Yeah." Si Haochen looked indifferent.
Bai Shen could see a bit of pride in the prince's plain expression: "Did the princess cure you?"
"Um."
Although Bai Shen already had a guess, he still asked: "Open your chest and take out the hidden weapon?"
"Yes." Si Haochen continued, "However, it is said to the outside world that after falling off the cliff, I happened to meet a disciple of Yunzhong Temple who was traveling outside, and he cured my heart disease."
