It was April 11th, the 24th year of Tai'an. The weather was clear and cloudless. It was a good day for traveling.
Following Zhao Yanxun's order, the troops of Prince Yong's Mansion took action again.
They still have a distance of five to six hundred miles from Yuanyang Mansion in Longyou County, which is adjacent to the vassal domain. According to the speed of traveling fifty miles a day, they still need to walk for about ten days.
Time flew by, and eight days passed in the blink of an eye. Zhao Yanxun and his party entered Longyou, only seventy miles away from Yuanyang Mansion.
Next to the official road, Zhao Yanxun and his party were resting.
Having learned the lessons from the previous rush, Zhao Yanxun extended the rest time after lunch so that the people in the team could recover more strength.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun and the three princesses were sitting on the ridge beside the official road with tables and chairs, and the warm breeze was very comfortable.
In addition to various fruits and cakes, fragrant tea was served on the table, and a simple arbor was even built with cloth.
To achieve this level of enjoyment in the wild, it obviously requires the supply of manpower and material resources. Most powerful people can only hope for it, but for Zhao Yanxun, it is simple and easy to obtain.
Blowing in the wind, drinking tea, tasting cakes, and looking at beautiful women... Zhao Yanxu felt so happy that he went to heaven.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yong's Mansion has been vacant for a long time. I don't know if it can be inhabited. Is it not haunted?" Huang Rongrong suddenly said.
This is really a living treasure. What are you thinking about every day? Zhao Yanxun secretly complained.
"Don't worry, if it is really haunted, I will stay with you at night. If the ghost dares to come out and scare you... I will beat him to pieces!" Zhao Yanxun said with a smile.
His words made Huang Rongrong's beauty pale, and she said with a hint of fear: "Is there really a ghost?"
This pitiful expression aroused Zhao Yanxun's protective heart, but it also made Xue Baoyun on the side feel a little bit unhappy.
"Sister Concubine Rong, Prince Yong's Mansion was originally the Mansion of Prince Qin. It was where Emperor Taizong lurked. It has the power of the Emperor to suppress it. What evil thing dares to offend and cause trouble?" Xue Baoyun said slowly.
Huang Rongrong nodded, then patted her chest and said, "Then I'll be relieved!"
After taking the last sip of tea, Zhao Yanxun stood up and said: "My dear concubines, I'm going to pay my respects. Please sit down and sit down!"
Only Zhao Yanxun, who was "not ashamed", would say such indecent words in front of three ladies.
After Zhao Yanxun left, the three women started chatting among themselves again, but they were all indifferent words.
At this moment, he heard a noise coming from under the mountain ridge, and Xue Baoyun sent his maid to check.
After waiting for a while, the maid sent to inquire about the situation did not come back, but Huo An came over first.
"Seeing the three empresses, I wonder where the prince has gone?" Huo An asked, bending his waist.
Xue Baoyun was the biggest here, and he was heard to say: "The prince has left for something, what's the matter?"
"Replying to my wife, the son of Liu Enfu, the palace guard of Baihu, was almost hit by a passing carriage when he was playing on the official road below, so he had a conflict with the owner of the carriage!"
"Zhou Changshi went to mediate, but Liu Baihu insisted on detaining the person, saying that he wanted justice for his son... The two sides were arguing endlessly!"
Hearing this, Xue Baoyun couldn't help but frowned. How could even a small household dare not listen to the words of the royal family chief?
Of course Xue Baoyun didn't know, because Zhao Yanxun used his strength to intimidate and win over with interests, and several hundred households now only recognized King Yong.
Zhou Chengping had a high status in the palace, but he was not the direct superior of the guards. Naturally, Liu Enfu could not betray Zhou Chengping.
At this moment, the maid who had just been sent out rushed back and told him roughly what Huo An said.
"There are really no rules!" Xue Baoyun said angrily.
But Xue Baoyun is a woman, so she can still intervene in the affairs of the inner house, but she cannot interfere with the foreign ministers. She can only wait for her husband to come back and deal with it.
After a while, Zhao Yanxun came back slowly.
Sitting back on the chair and seeing Huo Anzhu here, Zhao Yanxun asked: "What's wrong?"
Huo An reported the situation in detail. After Zhao Yanxun thought about it, he said: "Bring all the parties involved here!"
"Yes!" After Huo An responded, he turned around to deliver the order.
After a while, several people came from the foot of the mountain ridge. Among them was a woman with a veil covering her face. Two maids supported her and followed her.
Liu Enfu was the first to arrive. As soon as he came over, he knelt down in front of Zhao Yanxun and said at the same time: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"
He had a dispute with the palace chief, Shi. If Zhao Yanxun didn't support him, he would be doomed.
Kneeling in front of Zhao Yanxun, Liu Enfu felt extremely anxious.
He was not an unforgiving master, but the driver went too far, so he stopped him and refused to let him go, not even giving Zhou Chengping face.
After Liu Enfu knelt down, Zhou Chengping, who was dressed in official uniform, also came over, and of course the frail woman.
After saluting Zhao Yanxun, Zhou Chengping introduced to the woman on the side: "This is His Highness King Yong!"
"Meet the prince!" The woman bowed and saluted.
Only then did Zhou Chengping continue: "Your Highness, this is a family member of the Yuanyang Prefecture. They had a conflict with Liu Baihu when they were passing by in a car!"
Afterwards, Zhou Chengping told the details and let Zhao Yanxun know the general outline of the matter.
Liu Enfu's son was not hit. It was only the rude remarks made by the servants of the Yuanyang magistrate's family that made Liu Enfu reluctant to let him go.
So Zhou Chengping took the initiative to mediate and let both sides make concessions, but Liu Enfu refused to give him face.
"Is that so?" Zhao Yanxun looked at Liu Enfu.
"Your Majesty, that evil servant made such rude remarks, I really can't swallow this!" Liu Enfu kowtowed.
Zhao Yanxun was reluctant to have a conflict with the prefect of Yuanyang.
Although he has a bad reputation among civil servants, he doesn't have to take the initiative to provoke others. The best choice is to stay out of trouble.
But Liu Enfu had to take care of his emotions, so Zhao Yanxun said: "Since it was the slave who spoke rudely, you just teach that slave a lesson. Why bother other people's female family members?"
Zhao Yanxu's words were the final word. Even if Liu Enfu didn't hesitate, he could only do it at this moment.
"Your Majesty taught you a lesson!" Liu Enfu said softly.
"Okay, that's it!" Zhao Yanxun stretched and then ordered Liu Enfu to stand down.
After Liu Enfu left, he heard the woman from Yuanyang Mansion say: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty. After the little girl returns to the mansion, she will definitely ask her father to strictly control the slaves!"
Zhao Yanxun was noncommittal, while Xue Baoyun on the side said: "How old is my sister this year? How come she is here?"
Xue Baoyun's words were obviously meant to win over each other, which made the woman from the Yuanyang magistrate's family feel flattered and said quickly: "I don't dare to be a princess and sister, I am leaving the mansion today..."
Next, the woman explained her identity and the reason for going out, but she and Xue Baoyun got on well with each other.
Huang Rongrong and Lin Jingyu also joined the chat and asked about the customs and anecdotes of Yuanyang Mansion.
Zhao Yanxun was not very interested in the conversation between women, so he got up and left directly.
He was also happy to let Xue Baoyun take his place and build a relationship with the Yuanyang magistrate's family. No matter what, it was always better to have fewer enemies!
Zhao Yanxun, who had nothing to do, planned to go to Liu Enfu and offer some words of comfort.
