After Nangong Jin'er and Zhang Dehai finished their work, they immediately went to the Imperial Observatory.
Now His Majesty has already set out for the villa, and the Queen will probably leave early tomorrow morning, so they hurried over to report before the Queen left.
When they arrived at the small courtyard of the Sitianjian, as soon as they knocked on the door, a disciple came to open the door and led the two of them all the way to the small courtyard at the innermost part.
"The queen is in the room, she hasn't gone to bed yet, please go ahead."
After the disciple finished speaking, he bowed to the two of them and then stood guard at the door.
Nangong Jin'er and Zhang Dehai entered the courtyard together.
In the room, Bai Su had already let down the curtains, and one could smell the strong aroma of herbs as soon as one entered the room.
Nangong Jin'er and Zhang Dehai said in unison: "Jin'er (slave) pays respect to the queen."
Bai Su's voice came from inside immediately, saying, "Get up, how about that?"
Nangong Jin'er immediately stepped forward and presented the brocade bag to the curtain with both hands: "Prime Minister Bai said that he needs one night to consider it. I estimate that he will send someone to convey his approval early tomorrow morning. Your Majesty's jade pendant has not been used, so I am here to report this to Your Majesty."
Zhang Dehai, who was standing by, couldn't help but darken his eyes when he saw her hand the jade pendant directly to the queen.
The jade pendant that the emperor used as a token of his love was not used where it should be. What was it used for during the time it was in his possession? Would it have an immeasurable impact on the emperor
As the emperor's confidant, of course he has to keep an eye on things at all times.
If the Queen has kept this jade pendant... someone must immediately pass the message to Changle and let Changle report to His Majesty.
Zhang Dehai was thinking about how to make the next move in his mind, but he heard the person in the curtain speak softly, "That's good. When you receive the news from Bai Xiang tomorrow, you and Zhang Dehai must hurry and return the jade pendant to His Majesty in person."
She even said: You and Zhang Dehai.
In other words, she also specially called on His Majesty's confidants to supervise.
Nangong Jin'er, who was standing by, was still a little puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty came up with this idea. You will be able to go to the villa to reunite with His Majesty soon. Why didn't you hand it over to His Majesty in person?"
"When you act in the palace, you must always remember that His Majesty is the master of this world. I hope you all know that you must always obey His Majesty first, and me second. His Majesty's opinion is my opinion."
"Yes, Jin'er will remember it."
"Well, go ahead. We are all tired today, go back and rest early."
Zhang Dehai listened to the conversation between the two, and finally bowed deeply towards the curtains, saying, "I will take my leave. Best wishes, Madam."
"Well, go back and rest."
"yes."
…
-
June 17th.
This was the second day that Duan Changchuan set out for the villa, and the carriage was still bumpy on the road.
By noon, Duan Changchuan could no longer bear it and said he wanted to stop and rest.
So the convoy stopped immediately.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Changle asked him worriedly.
The young man's face turned a little pale, and he grabbed his chest and vomited softly.
The young eunuch immediately brought over the spittoon.
Doctor Huang and Yun Xie's carriage were right behind them, and when they heard the noise they immediately came over to see what was going on.
"What's wrong?"
Duan Changchuan hadn't eaten anything in the morning, so he didn't vomit anything. He just rinsed his mouth and waved at the two of them: "Nothing... I feel a little dizzy from the ride, so I feel like vomiting."
"How about I go out with you? We are in the suburbs now, and the wind is quite comfortable. I am tired from sitting in the carriage all the time. It must have been uncomfortable to sleep in the tent last night. Tonight you can sleep in the temple. Just hold on, and we will arrive in more than an hour."
Duan Changchuan nodded and followed him out of the carriage.
He was drowsy all the way and only realized when he got outside that he was walking by the lake.
There were many lotus flowers planted on the water. A black-sailed boat passed by the lake. A girl with a basket was kneeling beside the boat picking lotus.
"Would you like to eat some fresh lotus seeds? It's so hot, eating some lotus seeds will make you feel better."
Yun Xie asked.
Duan Changchuan nodded hesitantly, and the young man immediately ran over and waved to the boat: "Girl picking lotus! Can you sell us some fresh lotus seeds?"
The sound was so loud that it attracted Feng Qian out.
She first bowed to Duan Changchuan, then looked at the people by the lake and asked, "What's wrong?"
The lake was some distance away from their main road, so the girl rowed the boat over and Yun Xie could not hear the conversation between her and her.
One could only vaguely see the girl picking lotus in the boat. She was a graceful girl with a light green scarf on her face.
The girl was handing a handful of lotus pods to the young man, along with a few half-opened lotus flowers.
"I felt a little nauseous in the carriage just now, so I asked Yunxie to come out for a walk. He saw someone picking lotus flowers on the lake, so he said he would buy some for me to eat."
Duan Changchuan looked at the backs of the two people talking and explained softly.
Feng Yan nodded and said nothing more.
But his eyes were always following the person by the lake until the boat went away, and then he looked away with an indifferent expression.
Duan Changchuan glanced at the convoy along the way, but couldn't help turning back and asking her, "Is she... here?"
Feng Yan nodded, then shook his head and said, "She is not in the caravan. She set out early this morning and took a shortcut on horseback. She will be able to reach the temple where we will stay tonight."
"Well... I understand. Thank you, aunt."
"We can meet when we get to the villa. She said that she and His Majesty will meet at the villa in six days."
The boy nodded, hesitating: "Can you tell her..."
[It seems that there is something wrong with my glands because I don’t have Alpha’s comfort...]
But halfway through his words, he rubbed the back of his neck and swallowed his words back.
After a long time, he said, "Tell her that I will wait for her."
"Well, she will be very happy when she knows it."
"Um."
-
As he was speaking, Yun Xie had already hurried over with a lotus pod in his hand.
"Come, eat lotus seeds! The lotus flowers are in full bloom, so I asked the girl for some lotus flowers and put them in the carriage and the room. They smell good and make me feel better."
Feng Yu saw that he was sweating profusely from walking, so he took a handkerchief and wiped his temples: "Why are you running so fast? Are you hot?"
The young man laughed foolishly: "I didn't feel hot when I was running just now, but I feel hot now that I stop."
"It's just the beginning of the Lesser Heat, it's hot now, don't run and jump too easily, be careful of getting too hot."
"I understand, auntie."
"Well, go and accompany your majesty. I'll wait for you in the carriage."
"Okay!" the young man said, and took four lotus pods and lotus flowers and stuffed them into her arms: "Give them to Auntie."
The woman peeled a lotus seed and put it in his mouth, smiling and calling him, "Silly boy."
Duan Changchuan felt jealous and turned around silently.
The lotus seeds taste very bitter when chewed in the mouth.
As he was walking along the road, someone behind him suddenly trotted over and handed a plump white lotus seed to his mouth: "Come and eat! You will see the one at your home soon, don't be sad."
After that, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Wait seven days, go to her arms and act like a spoiled child. She will definitely listen to you! Believe me. Besides, you are more than four months pregnant now, it is a good time to have sex. We will still be at the villa, and no one will disturb you for a whole day and night. How great!"
Duan Changchuan was originally listening attentively, but when he heard the last sentence, he was almost choked by the lotus seeds.
When I turned around, I found a small red mark on the man's neck, covered by the collar.
Oh…
No wonder he speaks so wildly now.
"I think you're thinking this yourself. When we get to the villa, you can hang out with your aunt."
He said, poking the small patch of strawberry on his neck with his fingertips.
The young man realized it belatedly, pulled up his collar, and said carelessly: "If my aunt and I want to hang out, do we have to wait until we get to the villa? Although my aunt is busy, it's easy for her to spend a day with me as long as I tell her not to disturb me. A few days ago, my aunt spent a whole day with me."
Duan Changchuan: …
This proud look... as if he's afraid that others don't know what happened between him and his aunt!
I blurted out immediately: "It seems that you are enjoying it."
I don’t know who came to him in a panic a few days ago and pestered him with questions.
"I still remember that someone kept asking me what the chances of suppressing my aunt were and whether it would be possible."
The young man blushed, but he still said confidently: "I didn't... I felt it was quite comfortable after experiencing it... What's with that expression on your face? Don't you enjoy it?"
Duan Changchuan: …
[Forget it... In terms of wildness, I can't be wilder than him. ]
The author has something to say:
Yun Xie: A real man should seek truth from facts. It's just... it's quite comfortable.
Duan Changchuan: ...You are still the wilder one.
