"Because when you grow up, you naturally feel that time flies." Bai Yuxian touched her head, sat down next to her, and gently held her in his arms.
"Is the border really bad?" Ye Fuxun thought of what Zhao Yan said, and she didn't want sister Ling'er to suffer.
"There are naturally not many good places on the border of the country, but that doesn't mean that they are all bad. The area under the jurisdiction of King Huainan is a transportation hub with the northern border areas. Compared with Kyoto, it is not as good as Kyoto, but it is also a trading city on the border.
It’s not bad, but the climate is really not good.”
Bai Yuxian has been to the border and knows that the environment and climate there are harsh.
"I didn't force the imperial sister to marry Zhao Yan, it was her choice."
Bai Yuxian pinched her hair on her forehead, her eyes were a bit deep: "If I were not the emperor, but just an ordinary soldier stationed on the border in a remote area, there is nothing good about that place, with yellow sand all over the sky all year round, would you be willing to marry me?
?”
"Of course I am willing, because I...I like you." Ye Fuxun said without hesitation, and after speaking, he turned away and his face suddenly turned red.
Bai Yuxian pulled her face back and tapped her forehead lightly: "You are my queen and my wife, why are you embarrassed?"
"If you like someone, you don't care about other things about him. How can the emperor care that the border is not as good as the capital? Being able to be with the one you love is the most important thing."
It's rare for Bai Yuxian to say such warm words, it's really not like his character.
"You don't usually say things like this."
Ye Fuxun stood up from his arms and stared at his face half seriously and half playfully: "Actually, you are also very reluctant to let go of sister Ling'er."
"I'm just explaining to you..." Bai Yuxian pursed her lips and pulled her into his arms.
Ye Fuxun leaned into his arms and giggled: "The emperor is right."
"Your Majesty, I want to go to the palace and have a look."
Bai Yuxian stopped what he was doing and raised his eyes: "Why do you want to leave the palace?"
"I miss Master Niang and Mingxuan." Ye Fuxun stepped forward and shook his hand: "Can't you?"
"I'm a little worried about you."
"Then why don't you come out of the palace with me?" Ye Fuxun replied.
"I want to, but I can't get away." Bai Yuxian looked at the pile of memorials in front of him and felt a headache. He also wanted to accompany Ye Fuxun out of the palace, but he was not the prince now and did not have so much free time.
"Then why don't Wen Yue accompany me? You should rest assured." Ye Fuxun pointed to the people waiting outside the door of the imperial study. She was fully prepared to go out today.
It's ready.
Wen Yue is very strong in martial arts, so it doesn't make sense that he still doesn't feel at ease.
Sure enough, Bai Yuxian was silent.
"Eh...you really don't want to leave the palace for me." Ye Fuxun gritted his teeth: "I think your worry is just an excuse..."
Bai Yuxian pulled her next to him and sat down.
Putting the bamboo slips in his hand aside, he looked at her seriously: "Since you know what I'm thinking, don't go out."
"..." Ye Fuxun glared at him, but Bai Yuxian remained unmoved.
"I'm going out. I haven't seen my brother for a long time. I want to see them."
Ye Fuxun rested his head on his shoulder: "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, Wenyue will protect me. Just let me out."
Bai Yitong had just died, and his remnants had not been completely wiped out. At this time, she was the queen, and she might be targeted by someone who wanted to leave the palace.
Why didn't Ye Fuxun know what Bai Yuxian was worried about? But she was bored by being in the palace all the time. It was true that she hadn't seen Mingxuan and his wife for a long time.
"You... go ahead, be careful." Bai Yuxian finally compromised.
"Don't worry, I might not be in danger if I disguise myself and go out."
Ye Fuxun felt that as long as he didn't walk out strutting around wearing gold and silver, and people would know that she was the queen at a glance, he wouldn't be targeted.
Unless those Prince Yi's followers don't eat, drink or sleep, and stare at the palace gate every day.
Ye Fuxun only took Xiao Yu and Gongsun Wenyue with him, traveling in simple clothes, and secretly followed a few experts sent by Bai Yuxian.
After all, he was still worried.
"Bai Yitong is dead, what is the emperor afraid of?" Ye Fuxun muttered.
"Of course it's because your Majesty is the most important person to the Emperor, and you can't let her make the slightest mistake." Xiao Yu replied seriously.
The emperor was very kind to the empress. Xiaoyu was extremely envious of the treasure in his palm. I heard that the late emperor and the former empress were very affectionate. The emperor must have inherited the late emperor's deep affection and devoted himself to his empress.
"You know how to say nice things." Ye Fuxun hummed and Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue.
Gongsun Wenyue, who was leaning outside the carriage with his sword in hand, listened to the conversation inside without saying a word, with a calm expression and a serious look around him.
It is his duty to protect Ye Fuxun, and it is not wrong for the emperor to be worried. It is indeed not a safe period yet.
Ye Fuxun noticed that Gongsun Wenyue had a serious look on his face and not only greeted him: "Wenyue, you have such a sullen face. I don't know why you thought we were running away. Don't worry."
"I've always been like this." Gongsun Wenyue's eyes remained unchanged.
Ye Fuxun thought he was boring, so he pulled down the curtain again, chatting with Xiao Yu, and looking at the streets outside the curtain from time to time.
After the carriage left the palace gate, it entered the bustling market. Ye Fuxun looked at the people passing by and listened to the vendors shouting, and suddenly felt that it had been a long time since he had gone shopping.
Next time she will definitely take sister Ling'er out for a stroll, but Bai Yuxian probably won't allow it.
Suddenly her little face fell down and she became a little more listless.
It's all Bai Yitong's fault, even if he's dead, he still doesn't make people feel at ease.
The carriage passed through the market and turned onto another street. Compared with the bustling scene just now, it seemed too deserted. At first glance, there were only a few people on the street.
Suddenly! A woman suddenly rushed out of the aisle, startling the horse and almost losing control. Fortunately, the driver was an experienced driver and managed to stabilize the horse, so no serious consequences occurred.
The car body shook violently, and the people in the car staggered around.
"Empress!"
Xiaoyu was stunned by the collision and quickly grabbed Ye Fulun: "My dear, are you okay? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine." Ye Fuxun was shaken so much that his forehead was slightly bumped, but he simply grabbed the armrest in time and it didn't matter much.
She gently rubbed her forehead, her face darkened a bit: "Look what happened."
Xiaoyu opened the curtain angrily: "How did you drive? You almost hurt your Majesty. If your Majesty has any shortcomings, let's see how the Emperor punishes you!"
"Damn it, slave!" The coachman wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Suddenly, a woman holding a child rushed out and hit the horse's head. The slave didn't have time to get out of the way..."
