If you are trapped in constraints and lose yourself step by step, you will be just a wife in your husband's heart.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Three days later, Zhou Shuren accompanied the emperor to Pinggang. It was the first time that the emperor left the capital since he ascended the throne, and the process of leaving the capital was very complicated.
Zhulan had breakfast, walked around the garden, and fed the fish in the lake. The team leaving Beijing had not left yet.
More than an hour later, the team set off. Zhulan did not go to the city gate to take a look, but Changzhong took Yang Qing and others to broaden their horizons.
Zhulan returned to the main courtyard half an hour later, and Changzhong and Yang Qing came back.
Changzhong was sweating all over. When he saw the iced watermelon, he picked it up and started to eat it. After eating two pieces, he felt alive again. "Mom, there are so many people at the city gate today. It's so crowded and the weather is so hot. It's really uncomfortable."
As he spoke, Changzhong smelled his clothes and his wrinkled face was full of the smell of sweat.
Yang Qing said: "Aunt, I saw my uncle. His carriage was very close to the emperor's dragon chariot."
Zhulan raised her head and asked, "Did you see it clearly?"
Yang Qing nodded, "I see it clearly, I see my uncle."
Changzhong couldn't help laughing when he thought of his father. "Mom, when I saw Dad, he was eating watermelon. You asked the butler to put a freezer in the carriage. I think Dad ate all the frozen watermelon."
Zhulan gnashed her teeth. She didn't remember putting watermelon in there. A few days ago, Zhou Shuren had a stomachache and diarrhea because he ate too much chilled watermelon, so she didn't allow him to eat it. But this guy actually secretly put watermelon in there.
Outside the capital, the windows on both sides of Zhou Shuren's carriage were closed, and it was a little cool inside the carriage because of the ice.
Zhou Shuren called Jinyan and motioned for Jinyan to eat the grapes, "Don't just watch me eat, eat some too, they're cool and delicious."
Jinyan said, "Sir, you asked Jinyan to take the watermelon secretly."
Zhou Shuren nodded, savoring the iced watermelon, refreshing, "Yeah."
Jinyan's face was wooden. "Jinyan wanted to tell you, sir, that when I was at the city gate, I saw the young master and several young masters of the Yang family."
Zhou Shuren swallowed the grape skins and asked, "So?"
"The young master saw the adults eating watermelon."
It's over, the mistress must have known about it. Although it was the adults who asked him to steal the watermelon, he was the one who did it!
Zhou Shuren felt that the grapes were not sweet anymore, so he opened the carriage window for a while. How could it be such a coincidence? "Hey, I'll lie down for a while."
Jinyan really lay down when the adults told him to.
Zhou Shuren lay down for a while, thinking that he would settle the score when he got back. He didn't want to think about anything now and fell asleep.
Inside the dragon chariot, the emperor has been in a very good mood ever since leaving the capital. The newly built road makes it very convenient for the carriage to travel, and it is not bumpy at all.
After a while, the emperor learned that Zhou Shuren had fallen asleep in the carriage. The reason why the news reached the emperor's ears was because Zhou Shuren was snoring in his sleep.
Your Majesty, "..."
Inside the palace, the Queen listened to the female official's report that Concubine Liu and several others were jumping up and down so hard that they stayed in their own palaces. The Queen was very sarcastic, saying that they wanted to follow the Emperor whenever he went out and they were jumping up and down so hard.
As a result, the emperor didn't take anyone with him, even the crown prince was sent to the Prince of Qin's Palace.
The Queen actually wanted to go with him, but she knew she couldn't because the Prince was young and in the capital, so she had to stay in the capital.
The Queen looked at the screen sent back by her mother and felt really envious of her mother.
At Zhou's house, Zhao's relatives sent a letter, and Zhao came to the main courtyard, "Mother, my cousin's son is getting married, and he wants me to go over. I want to take Mingrui to visit the manor."
Zhulan: "Okay."
Zhao continued, "We will go and come back the same day."
"Just keep it in mind."
Zhao went back for her son. She and her husband protected the Zhao family for the sake of her son. Since it was for her son, she was willing to give the Zhao family some face.
Zhulan waited for Zhao to leave, thinking to herself that Zhao really looked more and more like Changyi. The couple looked so much alike.
The next day, Zhao took Mingrui to the farm early in the morning, and Zhulan also prepared two pieces of cloth.
At noon, Zhou Shuren had already arrived in Pinggang and went directly to the naval base in Pinggang. The navy was ready after receiving the order.
Zhou Shuren got off the carriage and looked at the ancient military camp up close, and felt that it was not bad. They were not living in simple wooden houses or tents. Ordinary officers and soldiers lived in mud brick houses with good warmth, which was already very good.
Zhou Shuren looked around at the facilities and estimated the amount of money in his mind. You know, the Ministry of Revenue allocates money every year to improve the living conditions of soldiers.
Zhang Jinghong followed his master out of Beijing today. Zhang Jinghong knew his master best. Not to mention his master, he felt heartbroken when he knew the annual naval expenses and started to estimate the silver as a habit.
General Hou was introducing the naval camp to the emperor when he felt a chill on his back. He couldn't help but look back, but he found nothing.
The emperor turned around and saw Zhou Shuren looking around, and noticed that Zhou Shuren's fingertips were moving. Okay, this is estimating the accounts!
The emperor's smile deepened. The reason why he brought Zhou Shuren here was not just to spend money, but also for inspection. He could not hide the money from Zhou Shuren's eyes.
They walked all the way to the residence prepared for the emperor to rest, and the emperor motioned for the ministers to sit down.
When they arrived at the military camp, there was a sea breeze blowing from time to time, and it wasn't so hot. Zhou Shuren felt quite comfortable sitting in the well-ventilated hall.
