Lan Gu reported Nanny Su's observations in detail. After hearing this, the Queen Mother's face sometimes smiled, sometimes felt regretful, sometimes felt emotional, and sometimes felt happy.
"Mama Su said that the concubine was drunk," Lan Gu looked at the Queen Mother cautiously, "and she also talked about you and the late emperor."
Logically speaking, it is a crime of great disrespect to discuss the Queen Mother and the late Emperor in vain.
However, after being ordered by the Queen Mother, Nanny Su had no choice but to pass back to the palace everything she knew.
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "Oh? What did Ah Xun say?"
Lan Gu repeated what Nanny Su heard.
The Queen Mother listened and remained silent for a long time.
Inexplicably, she thought of the man who loved her and protected her all her life.
Many people said that the measures she proposed in those years benefited the people of Yan State and praised her highly. But without the wisdom and mind of the late emperor, how could a woman like her put what she had learned into this ancient world?
Play it out?
The late emperor was the most powerful pillar of the Yan Kingdom.
She took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Don't look at Ah Xun's young age, but he has a clear mind like no one else."
The Queen Mother slowly took a sip of tea and said, "Did Asu tell me, have the young couple consummated their marriage?"
Lan Gu was not surprised at all: "Mother Su said that His Highness and the concubine did indeed sleep in the same bed, but it seems that they still haven't..."
"The prince is so stupid!" the queen mother couldn't help but spat. "She is bold and resolute in court affairs, but when it comes to the affair between women here, she becomes cautious and hesitates to move forward. I am really worried about my family."
Lan Gu covered her mouth and smiled: "His Royal Highness learned that there was an earthquake in Yanxi area in the middle of the night, and hurried back to Beijing. It happened that the concubine was still awake after drinking last night.
Aunt Su said that Your Highness carried the concubine all the way out of the farm through the secret passage. The slave must have seen that this good thing is coming soon."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded happily: "You know how to feel sorry for Ah Xun. This is well done!"
It's just that the progress is too slow and makes people anxious.
"I see that the relationship between Your Highness and the concubine is getting better and better," Lan Gu whispered, "I think good times are not far away."
"When there is an earthquake in the Yanxi area, the Ai family estimates that the emperor will send the prince to provide relief," the queen mother pondered, "so let Ah Xun go with them.
Lan Gu was startled: "Your Majesty, not to mention the bumpy road to Yanxi, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult and dangerous after arriving in Yanxi. The concubine is delicate..."
"It doesn't matter." The Queen Mother smiled and waved her hands.
Although Ah Xun does not know kung fu, she believes that she will not misjudge the person. Ah Xun is not the kind of child who is afraid of hardship.
In addition, with their modern vision and knowledge, maybe this trip can help the prince.
"Young couples can grow by going through difficulties together, right?" She drank the water with a smile.
I remember when she traveled around with the late emperor. Although it was tiring and painful, the two of them also became closer because of these experiences.
Let the prince take Ah Xun out for more walks!
The carriage of the Prince's Mansion kept going all the way, and finally arrived back in the capital in the afternoon.
Returning to Yunjin Pavilion, Ye Fuxun changed his clothes under Xiaoyu's service, had lunch, and finally lay down on the soft bed.
Xiaoyu covered Ye Fuxun with a quilt and said, "My dear, you are on your way before dawn. Are you sleepy? Can you please take a nap first?"
Ye Fuxun nodded fiercely while hugging the quilt, and suddenly pulled Xiao Yu back: "Xiao Yu, how did you know that I rushed to the capital before dawn?"
"Huh?" Xiao Yu was stunned for a while, then he hesitated and said, "Because I was thinking about my master, I asked Brother Hu..."
"So it's your Brother Hu again?" Ye Fuxun said with a sly smile, "Xiaoyu, tell me honestly, what is the relationship between you and your Brother Hu?"
"What does it have to do with it?" Xiao Yu's face turned red instantly and she stamped her feet, "My Lady, please rest quickly, I'm busy!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran out.
Ye Fuxun laughed, shook his head and glanced at the fleeing figure, yawned again, feeling sleepy.
As soon as I woke up it was dinner time.
After dinner, there was still no news that Ji Yannuo had returned home.
Ye Fuxun had slept enough, so he took the chess records and looked at them again: "Xiao Yu, I remember that the gift from my brother included a set of white jade chessboards?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yu responded, "Do you want to use it? I will get it for you right now."
Ye Fuxun smiled and nodded.
It is indeed my brother's handiwork. The whole chessboard sent is made of fine white jade. It feels warm and delicate, and the moves are crisp and pleasant.
Ye Fuxun held the chess record in his hands, pondered over it, and played chess at the same time, quite enjoying the fun involved.
It was now late at night.
It wasn't until Xiaoyu urged her several times that she reluctantly went to bed.
The next day, before dawn, I was woken up by light rain: "Empress, Your Highness has asked Eunuch Xu to come over to deliver a message. Please get up and go to the front yard."
"What time is it now?"
Ye Fuxun slept late last night and squinted his eyes drowsily at the sky. It was just dawn.
"It's almost midnight." Xiaoyu helped Ye Fuxun get up, wash up, and get some clothes.
"What kind of clothes are these?" Ye Fuxun looked at the men's clothes in Xiaoyu's hand, and an idea flashed in his mind, "Are you going out again?"
Xiaoyu nodded: "Eunuch Xu said that His Highness asked you to change into men's clothes and pack some common luggage. I'm afraid you will have to go out for a while."
While combing Ye Fuxun's hair, she added, "Ms. Chang is packing your luggage. I will wash your clothes first and have breakfast before going to the front yard."
Ye Fuxun:......
I just came back from the farm before dawn yesterday, and I have to go out again before dawn today.
Sure enough, not everyone can be a concubine.
After breakfast, Xiaoyu took Ye Fuxun to the front yard with his baggage.
Seeing her master yawning and getting on the carriage, her eyes were full of worry.
Hu Ping stepped forward and patted her shoulder: "Xiaoyu, don't worry. With His Highness protecting you, the concubine will be fine."
Where can she feel relieved?
Xiaoyu pouted.
My empress has been pampered since she was a child, how has she ever suffered so many sins?
But His Highness had spoken, and she was just a little maid, so she didn't dare to say a word on behalf of the empress.
All he could do was hold Hu Ping and say: "Your Majesty, she will be in a lot of inconvenience when she goes out dressed as a man this time. Brother Hu, can you take me with you? I can still take care of your Majesty on the way."
Hu Ping scratched his head: "I have to ask about this for you."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu actually found room for accommodation and hurriedly blinked her eyes: "Brother Hu, you are the best! I'm sorry to trouble you!"
Hu Ping looked at the longing look on Xiao Yu's face and smiled naively: "Okay, Xiao Yu, just wait, I'll ask Eunuch Xu."
After about an hour of burning incense, Hu Ping hurried back: "Xiao Yu, His Highness agreed! However, you have to put on men's clothes and look like a servant, and you have to hurry up and don't miss the departure time.
