"Mother, Huaijin will stay in the palace to celebrate his birthday. I will stay with the baby and let her take Huaijin with her."
It was not easy for Empress Dowager Jiang to wait until Xiao Nian'an's birthday before leaving.
Speaking of which, she had never celebrated the little one's birthday before. This time, she had to make it a good one and make it lively.
"Okay, Shiqing, don't worry, my mother will definitely take good care of Huaijin!"
The little kid on the side also nodded: "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely take good care of the prince!"
After receiving the guarantee, Yan Shiqing reluctantly hugged Xiao Nian'an, and then left the palace directly and headed towards Jiang Mansion.
In Jiang Mansion, Chen Yining was a little surprised when she saw Yan Shiqing coming: "Sister Shiqing, you're not leaving tomorrow, why do you have time to come here now?"
"Today I am bringing Huaijin into the palace. The queen mother wants to keep him until his birthday before leaving. Huaijin is also willing to do so. I just want to take him with me when you and my brother leave. The baby also stays in the palace to take care of him.
We will go together then."
"That's fine! It's just that Brother Xuan and I have to wait a little later, probably after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Yan Shiqing raised her eyebrows when she heard this and said, "Why is it so late? Didn't you say that the newlyweds can stay at home for three months?"
This was Chen Yining's original plan, and it was also at this time when he talked to Yan Shiqing.
When he heard this, he sighed and said, "It's what my mother meant. If we go at the end of June, we will be on the road in July. My mother said that it is the ghost month, and she doesn't want us to go out on the road for fear of bumping into something. But at the beginning of August
It’s not appropriate to walk. It’s not good to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival on the road. I simply say that I’ll leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now that the canals in many places in the two countries are gradually opening up, it’s much faster to take a boat. Plus June
Let's go. Hongwu Kingdom is still in the rainy season, so the journey is slow. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it rains less over there, and it starts to get cold here. The weather is still passable. Even if you stop and go on the road, before the winter moon,
You can also go to Hongwu Kingdom."
When Chen Yining said this, he paused and continued: "Brother Xuan and I are just going out with Sister Shiqing to gain experience, and there is no need to prepare anything. Sister Shiqing, you are different from Prince Mo. You have to arrive in Hongwu in advance.
In addition to preparations for the ship, there is also a lot of traveling to the palace. Not to mention, Sister Shiqing, you still have to explain to Aunt Huo about your property there. Brother Xuan only has a medicine shop there.
, with the old shopkeeper here, you don’t need to worry too much, you can leave at any time. At most, it’s just me, a married woman, taking Brother Xuan back to my parents’ home, and there’s nothing else.”
"Okay, you just have to make a plan. No matter when you go, just help me take Huaijin with me. In this case, I will go back first. There are many things that need to be arranged this time."
"Okay, Sister Shiqing, I'll give it to you!"
When Yan Shiqing came out of Jiang Mansion and went directly to Princess Ruyi's Mansion, Su Xin held the list in her hand and made final confirmations facing the rows of things in front of her.
When Su Xin saw her princess coming back, she bowed first and then said: "Princess, the things you asked me to prepare are already ready. Do you want to take a look?"
"That's fine!"
Because Yan Shiqing from Princess Ruyi's Mansion rarely comes back, the same goes for Luo Jiaocheng.
Aunt Su Xin is now in charge of this mansion.
Of course, since there is no master in the mansion, or the master rarely comes back, the place has almost become a perfume and soap manufacturing workshop.
Su Xin's thoughts are all focused on this, and occasionally she helps Xiao Wa train some servants, that's all.
For Suxin, the comfortable life she has now is all given by the princess.
In the future, the princess's mansion will support her in her old age. She must do her best to help the princess while she is still young.
Speaking of which, as the housekeeper of Princess Ruyi's Mansion, there is no one her age in the capital who can compare with her.
And she doesn't have to worry about her master being angry and dying at any time.
She has the final say in this mansion, and the princess has delegated power to her.
As long as she devotes herself wholeheartedly to this mansion, to the princess, no, to the princess, she won't be much different when she gets older.
Who allowed her young lady to marry King Mo and her young master to be the crown prince?
Thinking back on the life I have lived in the past few years, and then thinking about the difficult years I lived in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, it seems that it has become a bit blurry.
After Yan Shiqing took the list and checked the bottles she wanted, she saw the extra boxes, opened them, took a look at them, then closed them and said, "These rouges..."
"Back to the princess, it was sent by Miss Suzhen of Jiangfu last night. The old slave here has the number of boxes and the list of how much money was invested in the purchase. Also, Mrs. Yang (Jiang Suya) said, since Miss Suzhen is buying
Rouge, then she will prepare eyebrows. But it will not be transported from the capital. When the princess goes to Rongcheng in Jiangzhou to take a boat, it will be transported directly from there."
Su Xin said, took out something she had prepared earlier from her sleeve pocket and handed it over.
Yan Shiqing reached out to take it, spread it out and took a look, then said: "Okay, I will leave early tomorrow morning and don't have time to look for them again. Aunt Suxin, please send someone to pick them up for me and say that I have received them."
.After I leave, Taozi from Tuofeng Town and Antelope City will send all the income and expenditure account books back to the capital every year. Auntie, you can sort them out every year and make a comparison. There is also the cooperation between Jiang Mansion and Ning Guogong Mansion.
Yes, just work harder. If you encounter something that can't be solved, go to Prince Mo's Mansion to find the housekeeper. I will give you instructions when I get back later."
When Su Xin heard that her lady had given all the ownership to her, she was very moved by the trust she placed in her.
"Yes, I will definitely live up to the trust of the princess!"
In fact, Su Xin understands that there will always be problems that cannot be solved. Who in the entire capital, or in the entire Chu State, doesn’t know that Princess Ruyi is Princess Mo and who her backer is, so how could she not look for trouble without having the foresight to do so?
?
Maybe when something happened, the emperor and the queen mother would take action without her having to say anything.
Today's Emperor Shun'an is not the original Emperor Yongchang, who can be manipulated by anyone.
Nowadays, almost all the power in the court is in the hands of Emperor Shun'an, and he has the final say in everything!
And he trusted Prince Mo the most, loved the prince the most, and felt guilty for the princess. He probably knew every little thing about Prince Mo's palace and the princess's palace.
"Auntie, please have them all packed up. They will be transported directly to the city gate tomorrow and we will take them away directly. It will probably take two or three years to get here. Please take care of yourself!"
When Su Xin heard this, her eyes became hot. She could only nod her head and said in a choked voice: "Okay, Princess, please take care of yourself when you are out there. I am here waiting for your return!"
The next morning, when the sky was dark, the gates of the capital were wide open.
Emperor Shun'an Chu Xixuan did not attend the morning court today. At this time, he was wearing casual clothes and took Prince Xiao Nian'an, Concubine Lan, Yang Lulan and Queen Mother Jiang. They stood outside the city gate and looked at the people in front of them and said: "Ah Mo, thank you for your hard work."
You!"
Chu Ximo knew what he was talking about, which was nothing more than letting Emperor Dexuan abdicate, letting overseas countries know about Da Chu, etc.
At that moment, he patted Chu Xixuan on the shoulder, treating him as his elder brother instead of a superior emperor, and replied: "Brother, you are welcome, I am not doing this for you, but for our great Chu!"
On the other side, Xiao Nian'an opened her hands, hugged Yan Shiqing's legs, rubbed her little face against her, and said obediently: "Mother, Huaijin can't bear to leave you. But don't worry, Huaijin will accompany the emperor."
Grandma and Uncle Huang will look for you in a few days. Mother, you have to wait for Huaijin, and you also have to think about Huaijin!"
Yan Shiqing reached out and touched his head: "Okay, mother will miss you!"
"Poetry, take care!"
After Yang Lulan said this, she thought about it and glanced at Queen Mother Jiang, then turned around and took a brocade box from Jin Yan: "This, please send it to my mother in the Taiwei Mansion!" yyls
"good!"
Yan Shiqing knew what was inside without having to think about it. It was nothing more than letters and some gold and silver jewelry.
However, the brocade box is small, so it is unlikely that it will be silver, and the banknotes are not interchangeable between the two countries, so it is unlikely. Most likely, it will be gold.
Empress Dowager Jiang seemed not to have seen the brocade box. After Concubine Lan finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to take Yan Shiqing's hand and warned: "Shiqing, the Ai family owes you a lot. This time you leave, the Ai family
I don’t want to give up in my heart. The Ai family has no other demands. I just hope that you and A Mo can return safely by then."
As she spoke, she took a purse from Aunt Jiang beside her and handed it to her: "Here are the peace charms that the Ai family had asked for from Master Cixin earlier. There are two in them, you and A Mo
Each person should carry one. Remember, it must be carried close to the body."
Yan Shiqing took the purse. Although it was light, it seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms.
The headdress here is a mother's concern and blessing for her son and daughter-in-law.
"Mother, I will, please take care of yourself!"
After Yan Shiqing, Chu Ximo, Zhai, Jinshan Yinshan and others walked farther and farther, until the sky was bright, more and more pedestrians were on the road, and the carriage had disappeared, Luo Jiaochun was heard from the city gate.
An anxious voice.
"Poetry, poetry!"
Empress Dowager Jiang, who was on her way back to the palace, frowned subconsciously when she heard this voice. Then she just pretended that she didn't know, waved her hand, and asked someone to drive the carriage away.
Luo Jiaocheng waited for the carriage to stop, then stood there anxiously, looking left and right. In the end, when there were more and more people, but there was still no trace of poetry, she felt more and more lonely.
She is an unqualified mother.
He clearly knew that Shiqing would be traveling far away today, and he even said he would come to deliver it, but in the end, he didn't come out until dawn.
Shiqing, I'm afraid I blame her in my heart, right?
If she had known earlier, she should have been thick-skinned and stayed at Prince Mo's Mansion for a night, so that she could send poetry to her when she went out.
Unlike now, it would be nice if she could come back safely after leaving. But if something happens, then she, as a mother, may not even be able to see her for the last time.
It's all her fault. Even at her old age, she still has nothing to think about love. All she can think about is how to get the master to pay attention to her and live a good life with her.
The father, after all, went to Prince Mo's Mansion two days ago, but she, the mother, showed no sign of anything.
