As time goes by, the hot temperature disappears with the arrival of a few rains. Instead, every rain takes away some of the temperature.
The greenery in the garden had changed color at some point, especially the maple trees, which had turned red. People traveling to and from the capital could see the scenery of the mountains simply by opening the curtains of their carriages.
On the way out of the capital, Zhulan opened the carriage curtain, her eyes full of excitement. She almost forgot when she last left the capital. She just looked at her husband leaning in the carriage and said, "You actually got a vacation, and it's a full seven days."
God knows what a big surprise Zhou Shuren gave her yesterday.
Zhou Shuren raised his hand and touched his hair without the official hat. "I have been saving the fallen hair for a month, but it is not in vain."
In order to get a vacation, he had been thinking about how to take a vacation since the palace coup, because he knew that after the crown prince ascended the throne, he would not be able to take a long vacation for a year or two, so that his long planning would not be in vain.
Zhulan, "... I didn't even notice your falling hair!"
Zhou Shuren smiled smugly, "Since I want to hide it from the Emperor and the Crown Prince, I naturally cannot let you know first."
Little by little, he really lost a lot of hair in a month. Fortunately, his hair is thick, otherwise, it would have been gone in a few years... Oh, I can't even think about it!
As for the fact that the emperor later discovered that it was fake, he was not afraid. Anyway, he did not expect to really deceive the emperor and the prince. As long as he could fool them for a while and make the emperor agree to give him a vacation, that would be enough.
Zhulan lowered the carriage curtain. Just outside the capital, there were a lot of carriages coming and going. Even though the road had been repaired, a lot of dust was still raised. "It feels so good to be out of the capital. There is no danger now. If you are busy in the future, I can live in the farm by myself for a while."
Zhou Shuren, "... I don't think it's good."
Zhulan smiled with her eyebrows curved, "I think it's great. I want to enjoy the days ahead."
It was so dangerous in the past few years!
Zhou Shuren snorted. He didn't want to be abandoned by the fat old lady who was living a carefree life alone. He picked up the book and covered his face with it angrily.
Zhulan didn't take it seriously. The old man was old and still liked to throw tantrums.
Zhou Shuren waited for a while, then raised a corner of the book. Well, his wife didn't mean to coax him. "I'm angry."
"oh."
"Very serious consequences."
"oh."
Zhou Shuren reached out and snatched the apple from his wife's hand. He didn't dislike the fact that his wife had just bitten it. He bit it with a crunching sound. Afterwards, whatever Zhulan wanted to eat, Zhou Shuren would rush to eat it. He was extremely childish.
The result was that Zhulan got angry and couldn't help but yell, "Try to stretch out your claws again."
Zhou Shuren quickly retracted his hand that was about to move. Seeing his wife's glare, he was instantly satisfied and laughed.
Zhulan silently recited the Heart Sutra, took a deep breath and told herself, my dear husband, if you beat me to death, I'll be gone!
Zhou Shuren finally behaved himself under his wife's sinister gaze!
Jinyan and Shenxing, who were following outside the carriage, looked at each other, with helplessness in their eyes. The masters have been challenging the mistress in some new ways recently!
In the carriage behind, Changzhong comforted his niece Yuyi, "Don't worry, Mom just wants to beat Dad."
Yuyi’s eyes widened. Grandma was about to beat grandpa, and you’re still okay
Changzhong had a look of maturity that was not typical for his age, and he said quietly, "According to what mother said, father needs to be punished recently."
Yuyi, "... ..."
She felt that what her uncle said made sense, as her grandfather had annoyed her grandmother a lot in recent days.
Inside the palace, the emperor was cracking walnuts and eating them with great relish. From time to time, he glanced at the busy prince, his heart in turmoil. In the past, he was just like the prince, getting up earlier than the chickens and sleeping later than the dogs.
Now looking at the prince like him, why does he feel so comfortable in his heart!
The prince listened to the sound of walnuts being cracked, his face expressionless, but he was gritting his teeth inwardly. His father ate something different every day, and his father, who used to be a little thin, has gained weight.
The emperor had eaten enough and his mouth was a little thirsty. He drank the iced juice that Eunuch Liu brought him and said, "Refreshing."
Prince, “… .”
This is his biological father. Even after abdicating, he is still the emperor emeritus. Just looking at his father's current living conditions, he feels that his father will definitely live a long life.
The emperor suddenly said: "Zhou Shuren should have left the capital."
The prince thought of Zhou Shuren's request for leave with his hair in his hands yesterday, and said with a wooden face, "Well, I packed my luggage when I got home last night."
It is euphemistically called going to the hot spring village for recuperation.
The emperor clicked his tongue twice, "It's hard to believe how much hair he has saved."
At first he thought it was dropped, and he was so scared that he quickly summoned the imperial physician. Then the imperial physician looked confused, and the emperor knew what was going on.
It’s a pity that he had already given him vacation. It was really hard for Zhou Shuren to come up with this idea. If he didn’t understand that Zhou Shuren had worked hard over the years, he would have captured Zhou Shuren long ago.
The prince smiled, "Lord Zhou has indeed worked hard, and it is only right that he should take some time off."
The emperor looked at his eldest son in confusion. Seeing his eldest son's smile, he became a little worried about Zhou Shuren. He would definitely make up for today's holiday in the future.
The emperor stood up and brushed off some walnut crumbs on his body. "I've been very tired lately. I'll leave the palace and the court to you. Your mother and I will go to the manor to stay for a few days. Oh, and let's go to your hot spring manor."
Prince, “… .”
His father, who eats in front of him in various ways every day and reads travel notes, is actually tired. Then he must be exhausted to death!
And why does he feel that he can no longer keep his hot spring villa
The emperor said this and left with Eunuch Liu, leaving only a dashing back view to the prince. The prince laughed softly, and the eunuchs in the study were trembling with fear!
When Zhulan arrived at the Zhou family's hot spring resort, she didn't feel tired at all. After changing clothes, she took Zhou Shuren for a walk in the fields.
The rice is ready to be harvested. The streams running through the rice fields are clear, and you can even see schools of finger-sized fish.
Zhulan squatted down and looked carefully. She found some river shrimps. There were quite a few of them. She could grab one with her hand. She was very happy and said, "Look, I caught it."
Zhou Shuren said with a smile in his eyes: "That's amazing."
Zhulan regretted that she didn't have any tools, otherwise she would have caught some. "I want to eat river shrimp for lunch."
Qingxue, who was behind him, heard it and signaled another maid to go back and tell the kitchen.
Zhou Shuren responded and then looked at the rice fields. This year was considered a year of good weather and good harvests, and the fields on his own farm were fertile. However, looking at the rice in the fields, the yield was still not high.
Zhou Shuren and Zhulan hadn't enjoyed such leisure time for a long time. They signaled the maid and Jinyan to stay away from them. They didn't have a clear destination along the road, so they just went wherever they wanted.
Ministry of Revenue, Qiu Yan came here today and found out that Lord Zhou has asked for leave, and it’s a full seven days!
Xiao Qing watched Zhou Shuren leave. The job he was about to take over was quite long. Why did the emperor agree to Zhou Shuren's leave
In the afternoon, Zhou Shuren and his wife took a nap. There were no endless official duties in the village, so Zhou Shuren had a particularly good nap.
After waking up an hour later, Zhou Shuren felt unwell.
