Li Xiyao stood nervously outside the imperial study, waiting for the summons from the people inside.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is here again." The eunuch in charge poured the tea and brought it to the emperor. He was told that the concubine was also willing to insist on coming day after day just to beg the emperor for an order.
Your Majesty, please return to the palace soon.
The emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said after a moment: "How much time is left until the autumn banquet?"
"There are still more than twenty-five days before I can return to the emperor." Eunuch De replied respectfully.
"Yes. I heard from the secret guard that the prince has found the princess?" The emperor fiddled with the jade ring and said quietly, "This daughter of the Ye family is a little ignorant of the rules."
The daughter of the Ye family refers to Ye Fuxun. Ye Fuxun is the royal concubine. It is really inappropriate to ignore the palace rules and leave the palace for several days.
Eunuch De lowered his head and frowned, as if he hadn't heard anything. In this deep palace, only by taking care of one's eyes and ears can one survive for a long time.
"Okay, go tell the concubine that I know what she wants and ask her not to bother me in the future. The prince will return to the palace before the autumn banquet." The emperor waved his hand and ordered in a cold voice.
"Yes." Eunuch De replied and hurriedly went to deliver the message.
After this order, some people will be happy and some will be sad. I am afraid that this day will change with the arrival of autumn.
The autumn wind is bleak, and the forest is full of dye. Looking up, the maple leaves have turned yellow and are hanging precariously on the branches.
Ji Yannuo sat cross-legged on the jade mat with a chess board in front of him. On the chess board, black chess already occupied half of the country.
Feiying held the white chess piece, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. After thinking for a moment, he placed the chess piece. If he guessed correctly, he had already lost the game. It was just a matter of time.
"Bang--"
Sure enough, as he expected, Ji Yannuo's next move blocked the white chess. The white chess was trapped in a corner, and the chessboard became black's world.
"My master is very skilled in chess, and I am ashamed of him." Fei Ying said with his hand in hand. He had been playing chess all afternoon, and he had also been tortured by Ji Yannuo all afternoon. Now he really wants to change jobs with Fei Yun. It would be better if he is tired.
It's like being abused by your master.
"Okay, no more." Ji Yannuo threw down the chess in his hand and said softly. Playing chess with Fei Ying was boring, he had been winning all afternoon.
"Are they back?"
Ye Fuxun and the others asked this question. A few days ago, Ye Fuxun took Ji Ruobai to a nearby village for free medical treatment. Of course, Jing Yu was also there.
"Princess has already set off." Fei Ying said respectfully, "We will arrive at Jing's Medical Center in a quarter of an hour."
"Okay, I understand, you can go down." Ji Yannuo frowned and waved his hand irritably.
Fei Ying looked at Ji Yannuo hesitantly, a little hesitant. News had come from the palace, and the prince and princess were ordered to set off today to attend the autumn banquet. But looking at the prince's attitude, it was obvious that he had no intention of returning to the palace.
Ji Yannuo narrowed his eyes slightly and opened his lips coldly: "If you want to hide something from me, tell me."
"I don't dare." Fei Ying quickly knelt down and said in a deep voice, "The Emperor has given an order for you and the Princess to set off today and return to the capital immediately."
"But didn't something happen that made it so sudden?" Ji Yannuo pondered, if there was no emergency, how could the emperor summon himself and Ye Fuxun back to the capital.
"The annual autumn banquet is scheduled for the twenty-fifth day later." Feiyinghui reported.
"I understand. I will tell the princess in person."
Ji Yannuo frowned and his breath sank. These days, he has become completely accustomed to the life in Jiangnan. What's more, he said he would not force Ye Fuxun to return to Beijing, but now, he actually wants to break his promise.
A quarter of an hour later, the guard came to report that Ye Fuxun and his party had arrived at Jing's Medical Center.
"Xiao Bai, go wash your hands first. Mother will be back soon." Ye Fuxun saw Ji Yannuo standing in the distance, settled Xiao Bai, and walked towards him.
"Your Highness is here, do you have any orders?" Ye Fuxun looked at the man in front of him indifferently and said indifferently.
"You..." Ji Yannuo's expression paused, hesitating and hesitating, "The emperor has ordered us to return today. I came here today to tell you to pack your luggage as soon as possible."
"Ha. I knew it." Ye Fuxun rolled his sleeves and sneered, "You promised not to force me, but now you have moved the emperor out. Your Majesty is really a man who doesn't keep his word!"
"Ye Fuxun, the emperor's urgent summons is on display in my study." Ji Yannuo's face turned green and he shouted coldly, "I didn't lie to you."
"How dare I question the prince? I will leave for Beijing at noon tomorrow!" Ye Fuxun dropped these words and returned to the medical clinic angrily. Time was running out, and she needed to settle things in the medical clinic, so there was no need to spare.
time to argue with Ji Yannuo.
The news that Ye Fuxun was returning to Beijing spread like wildfire, and the people in the county were very reluctant to leave Ye Fuxun, so they spontaneously organized a farewell event at noon.
"Mr. Ye, please go slow on the road. These are our wishes." On behalf of the people in the county, Sister-in-law Wang held Ye Fuxun's hand and said, tears filling her cloudy eyes.
"Don't worry, Aunt Wang. Remember to let Fu Mei take the anti-fetal medicine on time. It's your first pregnancy, so you need to be careful." Ye Fuxun said seriously.
Fu Mei is Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law, and she will give birth in two months. It was originally promised that she would deliver the baby, but now there is no chance.
The people in the county were simple and enthusiastic, so they set out an hour late. It was precisely because of this that they rushed to the inn when it was dark.
"In that case, just stay here." Ji Yannuo ordered when he saw that the sky was dark.
No one had any objections.
Jingyu was also in the accompanying team. Ye Fuxun left Jiangnan, so naturally he would not continue to stay in Jiangnan.
There are many guards accompanying him, and there is no shortage of people who can light fires among them.
"Ye Fuxun, this is for you." Jingyu handed the hot dry food to Ye Fuxun and sat next to her. "You eat it while it's hot first. When Xiaobai wakes up later, the next one will be hot too."
alright."
Xiaobai is a child after all. After the fatigue of traveling and traveling, he quickly fell asleep and is still awake.
Ji Yannuo looked at this happy scene and suddenly felt that it was a bit annoying. He dropped the dry food in his hand and walked up to the two of them.
"I have admired Mr. Jing for a long time, and I would like to thank Mr. Jing for taking care of my wife for me." Ji Yannuo looked at Jing Yu condescendingly and said coldly, "This is my wife, Mrs. Ye."
Jingyu stood up and stared back at him unwilling to be outdone. When the word wife was heard, it seemed particularly harsh. After all, he was not justified in his words.
"Now Mr. Ji knows that he has a wife, where were you when Ye Fuxun fell into the water that day." Jingyu smiled slightly, looking like a gentle and elegant young man from an aristocratic family, and what he said was really heartbreaking.
"Ha. Why do I need to explain my private affairs with my wife to an outsider like you? Mr. Jing, please respect yourself."
"Ye Fuxun and I are close friends, but I don't know what Mr. Ji's self-respect means?"
