The carriage left the palace in a leisurely manner, and the sixth prince looked out curiously. This was the first time he left the palace since he could remember.
"Mom, it's so fun outside." The sixth prince said as he took the carriage.
"I'll see the real outside in a while, but I haven't seen it here yet. Take your own carriage and go there in a while, your little friend is still there." Shen Chuliu said lazily.
"Mother, don't you want me to sit here?" the sixth prince pouted.
"Are you pretending to be pitiful for me again?" Shen Chuliu slapped his butt.
The Sixth Prince chuckled: "I want to accompany you, okay?"
"Okay, okay, but what about your unrestrained heart? You don't need to accompany me, why should I use you to accompany me?" Shen Chuliu laughed at him.
The sixth prince was disgusted with his own mother. After making a fuss for a while, he took advantage of the carriage to turn a corner and slowed down, and was carried to his carriage by the guards.
"Our Sixth Highness has grown a lot in the past six months," Zhemei said.
"Indeed, it's time to grow taller." Shen Chuliu lay down and said, "I'll take a nap."
Zhemei agreed and pulled the blanket for her.
It wasn't cold inside the carriage. Although the windows were only covered with curtains, there was a charcoal basin inside and it was covered with blankets, so it was very warm.
The carriage was very big, and Shen Chuliu slept very comfortably.
When I woke up, I hadn't reached the stopping place yet.
They were going to Liaocheng Mansion, where there was a palace that was built by Huizi when the late emperor first ascended the throne. The emperor had not been there in these years. But it was repaired last year.
The journey from the Imperial City to Liaocheng would take three days at the fastest. Now that there are so many carriages and horses, including women and children, the time must be even slower. It will take about five days. You can't stop casually along the way, only at noon and evening.
Stop for lunch at noon and stay in a tent at night.
Yes, although it gets colder as we go north, we can only live in tents because there are too many people in the group and no house can accommodate the Holy Master.
In other words, the specs weren't enough.
It's better to use a tent outside.
Although it was cold, I brought enough charcoal fires and replenished supplies along the way, so I could still make do.
Although the tent was not as warm as a house, the wooden boards prepared in advance were used as a foundation, so it could still keep out some cold air.
I tried my best to light the fire again, and I could barely survive.
"Master, please put on your cloak. It's too cold here. You're not used to it." Zhemei is from the north, but she has been in the palace for many years and is not used to it.
Shen Chuliu wore a thick cloak and sat next to the fire: "It's okay. I'll have some hot soup in a while. You go and see Yan'er. Don't let them freeze."
"We've gone to the Lantern Festival. There are several braziers over there. The main thing is to take a look at the two young masters. They are both children. Don't freeze." Zhemei said.
No one dares to cheat on His Highness the Sixth Prince’s things. I'm afraid that the two companions live far away, and if no one cares about it, what if the charcoal fire is insufficient? It's going to be freezing outside here overnight.
After the inspection, the food was also ready. Since it was outside, it was naturally not as good as in the palace. Shen Chuliu's place only had six dishes and one soup.
However, the food was not bad. Shen Chuliu was also hungry. After eating dinner and washing up, he lay down on the quilt. He was really cold and didn't want to do anything.
So, when the emperor called for her to go, she said boldly: "Please tell the emperor that I am not feeling well and can't sleep with you, so I won't go."
Laba listened and thought to himself what was going on? But he didn't dare to say anything, so he just responded and went back to reply.
In the emperor's tent, Qi Yixiu glanced at Laba a few times: "Are you feeling unwell? Have you called the imperial doctor?"
"Back to the emperor, this servant didn't scream. Maybe the empress is slightly unwell and will be fine after lying down for a while?" Laba wondered.
Qi Yixiu smiled: "Go ahead, I'll go take a look."
He probably understood what was going on.
This woman is lazy and too cold, right? It really takes a few steps to get over from her side.
When Qi Yixiu passed by wearing a cloak, Shen Chuliu was almost asleep. She vaguely heard the slaves' greetings. When she opened her eyes, Qi Yixiu had already crossed the screen and came over.
"What's wrong with my beloved concubine?"
Shen Chuliu was confused and annoyed: "Brain."
Qi Yixiu laughed: "Why are you so lazy? I didn't even ask you to go?"
"Your Majesty still blames my concubine for bullying the emperor? Isn't it really uncomfortable?" Shen Chuliu buried himself in the bed with only his eyes exposed to act coquettishly.
Qi Yixiu shook his head: "Bring me some water and wash my hands."
Chi Su and others were busy waiting for the emperor to take off his cloak and wash his hands and face.
Then he served the emperor and drank ginger tea.
Here now, no matter how dedicated the emperor was, he was too lazy to do anything and simply fell into trouble.
After all, he was a man, with much more energy and blood, and he felt a sense of warmth when he collapsed.
Shen Chuliu clung to her in a very shameless moment and sighed comfortably.
She felt warm after a while, but it was much worse than Qi Yixiu, especially her feet were still cold.
Qi Yixiu was hissed by her, but he didn't ask her to get up.
"Be patient, it will be fine when we get to the place in a few days." Qi Yixiu said: "Let's put another charcoal basin."
"Stop showing off, there are already several of them. It'll be the same again. You'll be fine if you fall asleep soon." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu waved his hand. To be honest, he didn't feel that cold.
With the intention of not taking advantage of the bastard, Shen Chuliu put himself in the emperor's arms. If nothing else, the heating effect was really good.
He was already sleepy, and after talking to the emperor for a while, his words were confusing. Qi Yixiu just looked down and saw that the woman in his arms had fallen asleep.
It was probably warm, and I felt comfortable sleeping comfortably.
Qi Yixiu smiled, reached out and touched her face a few times before closing his eyes, and he didn't hesitate to hug her tightly.
In Concubine Shun's tent, the girl came in and said, "Master, the lights are out over there."
"Go to sleep." Concubine Shun yawned.
"Master, you have a chance now." The palace maid Zhen'er said carefully.
Concubine Shun waved her hand: "Don't call me, just go to sleep."
She didn't dare to think about these things. If she didn't say anything about them, what would she say about committing suicide
What's more, if the emperor could pamper her, why would he wait until she was so old
Zhen'er didn't dare to say anything more, so she just helped her lie down to sleep.
Shen Chuliu didn't know whether others were cold or not. Shen Chuliu hugged the emperor and slept soundly. She turned her back to the emperor in the second half of the night. The emperor probably hugged her easily? The emperor also felt that it was not too warm, so he simply held her in his arms, and it was almost time to set off after sleeping.
I got up in a hurry, it was still dark, I had a simple breakfast and got on the carriage.
As soon as Shen Chuliu went up, he fell asleep again.
There was nothing I could do about it, it was actually warmer in the carriage than in the tent.
After shaking like this for four or five days, the emperor didn't know whether he felt pity for Shen Chu or Liu Leng, or he also found pleasure in it. He actually took the initiative to come to Shen Chuliu's tent to sleep with her every night.
Outside, the emperor didn't do much. He still had some moral integrity.
They only sleep together every day, but they are satisfied with each other.
