Early the next morning, outside the Dingnan Palace, a group of people were ready to go.
Cars and horses passed slowly through the city, and pedestrians gave way.
Immediately, the young man is wearing a green robe, with black hair tied up, and has a noble temperament. There is a cold look between his eyebrows that makes people dare not take a closer look.
The palace emblem inlaid on the carriage prompted the city gate guards to respectfully salute and let them pass.
After leaving the city gate, the young man immediately turned back and glanced at the towering city tower behind him.
Three miles out of the city, Wu Chao slowly reined in his horse and stopped.
In a pavilion in front, there was already a row of palace people waiting here.
Seeing Wu Chao dismounting, several eunuchs immediately came forward to greet him.
"Our family is here to see Wu Shisun off on your Majesty's order." The leading eunuch, Li Ji, smiled respectfully.
Wu Chao raised his hand in salute and said, "Please thank Your Majesty for Wu."
At this time, the prince Wu Jingming got out of the carriage behind him and came over.
"Ah, Prince Wu is here too?" Li Ji smiled and saluted.
"Eunuch Li." Wu Jingming said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter for the dog to leave the capital. How can your majesty bother you so much——"
"How can it be a trivial matter?" Li Ji said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been thinking about it these past two days. Wu Shisun came to Beijing this time. Because your Majesty has been busy with state affairs recently, he has not received him properly. It is very important to call your uncle my uncle."
I feel sorry for you...I just said that my grandson will come to Beijing in the future and I will personally take my grandson to hunt."
When Wu Jingming heard this, he just smiled and said: "Your Majesty is interested."
After a while of greetings, Li Ji motioned to the eunuch behind him who was holding a tray to come forward.
"I would also like to invite my grandson to drink this cup of farewell wine. I hope my grandson will arrive in Ningyang safely all the way."
Wu Chao took the wine cup from Li Ji, said "Thank you, Your Majesty", and drank the wine in one gulp.
"It's getting late, so we don't want to delay our grandson's journey, so we'll go ahead and return to the palace to join His Majesty -" Li Ji said with a smile and a salute.
Wu Jingming nodded: "Eunuch Li, walk slowly."
Seeing Li Ji get on the carriage and leave, Wu Jingming smiled with unknown meaning.
His Majesty, the Emperor, really likes to do superficial things as always.
At this time, in the carriage of Dingnan Palace, the Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Xu, came over with her maid.
"Father and mother, please send them here." Wu Chao bowed deeply to his parents.
"Okay..." Ms. Xu nodded, her eyes reddened unconsciously, and she warned in a soft and hoarse voice: "Don't rush too fast on the road. When you are tired, just change the carriage, whether you are staying in a hotel or in a car.
In the post house, all food, drinks and daily necessities need to be inspected again and again, and there must be no carelessness..."
"My son has memorized everything."
"Okay, A Yuan is sensible." The prince comforted his wife softly.
He turned to his son and said: "Go, don't delay your stay, and be sure not to rush at night."
"yes."
Wu Chao agreed, and after bidding farewell to his parents again, he jumped onto his horse.
After watching on the spot for a moment, Wu Jingming helped his wife get into the carriage.
Seeing his wife holding the handkerchief with tears in her eyes, Wu Jingming cleared his throat, patted his wife's shoulder, and prepared to speak comforting words.
His wife has always been dignified, and it is rare for him to have the opportunity to comfort her.
"Meow-"
The kitten's meowing interrupted Wu Jingming's thoughts.
The next moment, I saw my wife holding Tianjiao into her arms and smoothing the cat's fur.
The cat closed its eyes comfortably and purred softly.
Mrs. Xu immediately smiled, and the sadness and reluctance she had felt just now disappeared.
"..." The prince, who had not yet had time to express himself, put his hands on his legs and pondered. The sense of crisis that his family's status was about to be lost became increasingly intense, which made him feel that he had to say something.
"Madam, since A Yuan has left, why don't we send Tianjiao away?"
Mrs. Xu's smile narrowed slightly, but her voice was still gentle: "If the prince really feels that Tianjiao is too noisy, then it is better for me to take Tianjiao to sleep in the study from tonight."
"...?"
What words are these!
As we all know, throughout the ages, only men have slept in the study. How could the mistress of the family sleep in the study?
etc--
Based on this, could it be that the wife’s implication was that she wanted to drive him to sleep in the study?
Is it just because of his son's status and dignity that he speaks in a cryptic manner?
Wu Jingming's elegant face had repeated expressions.
In other words - in his wife's heart, she actually feels that he is the one who should be sent away?!
This realization made Prince Wu feel frightened.
What is the fatal attraction of cats?
He was so possessed by his good wife that she even wanted to abandon her husband...!
…
The cool breeze is coming, the cold dew is coming, and the autumn colors in the city are getting darker.
In the Xiyuan of Zhenguogong Mansion, there is a layer of fallen leaves piled under a ginkgo tree. The early morning sunlight passes through it, adding a touch of golden color to the autumn day.
The little girl with her bun in a bun and sweeping under the tree held a broom in one hand. She bent down and picked up a ginkgo leaf with the other hand. She held it up in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, looking at it in the sunlight. She seemed to like it very much.
Xu Mingyi, who had just finished his breakfast, stood in front of the window and watched this scene, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Girl, this servant has prepared all the snacks."
Akui came over carrying a food box.
"Then let's go."
Xu Mingyi retracted his gaze and turned around.
She is going to the eldest princess's mansion today.
To be precise, she was going to see Princess Jingrong.
These days it was reported that the eldest princess was in good health, so she never had the opportunity to check her pulse and health.
But today is definitely different——
Xu Mingyi took Akui out of Xiyuan. As soon as he walked out of the inner courtyard, he saw his own Mingshi and his servant waiting outside the Chuihua Gate.
"Where are you going again?" Seeing her coming out, Xu Mingshi asked seriously.
Xu Mingyi said truthfully: "We are going to the eldest princess's mansion."
Xu Mingshi frowned quickly.
Sure enough, he guessed it - fortunately, Ah Jiu was alert enough, and as soon as he found out that Ah Kui went to the kitchen to order snacks to be boxed, he ran back and told him.
Ah Jiu glanced at his young master quietly.
The girl admitted so straightforwardly that she was going to the eldest princess's mansion, so he just said it. No one in this mansion can control the girl. What can the young master do if he knows about it? Can he stop her? The problem is that he can't beat her.
The next moment, Ah Jiu heard his young master speak in a very strong tone——
"I'm going too."
If you can't stop him, why can't he follow?
"...What are you going to do?" Xu Mingyi looked at him in surprise.
"I heard that there are many rare autumn chrysanthemums in the garden of the eldest princess's house, which are not easily seen outside. I want to go for a walk." Xu Mingshi said confidently.
Do you want to monitor her?
Xu Mingyi glanced at the housekeeper and knew that she couldn't get rid of her easily, so she didn't bother to talk. She waved her hand and said, "Let's go."
On the way, he did not forget to confess: "Don't come back from me learning anything immoral -"
Those gentlemen are very good at flattery. Children are prone to go astray. If they learn bad things, they won't be able to get back.
Xu Mingshi's face turned dark when he understood what she meant.
