Lin Zhixuan was very surprised when she heard this, she never thought that her mother not only did not admonish and refute such an outrageous move, but she readily agreed.

Seeing Lin Zhixuan's surprised look, Mrs. Wang sighed: "My mother is old, and you are not the little girl in the boudoir in the past. Besides, isn't that girl in Xue'an also very good?

In the past, it was only said that it was not big, but now it is not a body. Happy every day, I look better than the girl in Luyan. Xu is your young man's worldly mother, I don't understand. If you want to go, go for a walk, and maybe your body will get better. This is what Hu Liangqing told me at the beginning.

If you are in a good mood, your body will naturally be fine, and with the prince accompanying you, food, clothing, housing and transportation are naturally the most exquisite, and you don't have to worry about it.

Brother Shu'er has his mother to take care of him personally, and you don't have to worry, you just go out with the prince to relax, for so many years, I looked at the prince and was tired for him. ”

Lin Zhixuan couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and leaned into Mrs. Wang's arms like when she was a child: "Mother, why are you so good?"

Mrs. Wang just smiled lovingly: "They are all mothers, why are they still coquettish with their mothers like children." ”

Lin Zhixuan retorted with a smile: "In front of my mother, how old is a child." ”

Lin Zhixuan seriously discussed with Wei Mingxu that Lin Penghai wanted to resign and return to his hometown.

Wei Mingxu sighed and said, "This year, there have been too many big changes in the court. The Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs have all changed their books, and the court situation is originally unstable, and my father-in-law has been in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, and he is also conscientious and well-organized, if he leaves again, I am afraid that there will be mistakes in the court. It's better not to be in such a hurry.

If the father-in-law really has the heart to retreat, he can slowly pick a competent person to experience first, arrange all the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, do a good job of handover, and discuss the resignation. I don't need many of the many guests in the palace now, and I don't want to keep so many people empty, most of them I have recommended them to be officials, and there are a few who don't like careers, you can recommend them to your father as a staff member. can also understand his busy official business. ”

Lin Zhixuan listened to the reason, so she nodded and agreed, and then talked to Mrs. Wang in detail.

In the spring of that year, Wei Mingxu did not celebrate his birthday in the capital again, thinking that it was because of the previous incident of the coming of all countries to the court.

That was originally Lin Jiangbai's trick to sow discord. For a long time, foreign envoys worshipped each other, all of which were New Year's festivals or the emperor's thousand autumn banquets. I have never heard of it as a birthday gift for the regent.

This year, since Wei Mingxu has decided to retire, he doesn't want to hold a big birthday banquet anymore, and he is perfunctory and perfunctory, and now he is still in the filial piety period of the empress dowager, and all families can't hold a big banquet, even the Qianqiu banquet of Empress Xin'er on March 29 has also been saved.

At the end of March, Wei Mingxu took Lin Zhixuan on his journey.

Along the way, there are six exquisite chariots with four horses. In addition to Lin Zhixuan, she also brought Shen Yan, as well as medicinal materials for the treatment of various typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases, and even brought enough pots and pans and spices to prevent the two of them from stopping for a picnic.

Ginseng and bird's nest each brought three catties, and the two cooks Lin Zhixuan was used to in Jingwangfu, one was proficient in northern cuisine, and the other was proficient in Lin Zhixuan's hometown Hangzhou cuisine. I'm afraid that Lin Zhixuan won't be used to eating local things outside. The clothes were prepared from spring to winter, as well as tea, copper basin lacquer for washing, and Hongxiang also ordered someone to drag two bath buckets for bathing, and almost moved Xi Jinzhai on it.

Lin Zhixuan felt a headache when she looked at the list that Mrs. Wang helped to prepare, but Mrs. Wang said: "It's good to be at home for a thousand days, it's difficult to go out for half a day, and there is no shortage of carriages. If you buy it outside, it must not be as good as Jingwangfu. ”

Lin Zhixuan was helpless, and nodded in response.

Hong Xiang and Lan Yu naturally didn't say anything, Du Qin and Dongmei actually came with them.

Du Qin originally had a public office, and he had to take the yamen every day, so he couldn't leave the capital like this.

But Dongmei had to follow Lin Zhixuan to serve.

Du Qin was also worried about the safety of Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan, and without consulting Wei Mingxu in advance, he directly asked the yamen for a long leave.

The people in the yamen were all old ministers of Du Qin and Wei Mingxu in the past, and they thought that Du Qin had something important, so naturally there was no reason not to approve it. If there are really people in the yamen who are easy to do, this thing will be done.

Before leaving, the ninth sister came to see him off, Wei Yanxian heard that Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan were going to Mongolia but was a little worried, afraid that Wei Mingxu would collude with Mongolia and usurp his throne, so he asked tentatively: "Otherwise, I will give Uncle Fourteen a holy decree, and Uncle Fourteen will make peace talks and envoys to Mongolia to talk to the Great Khan of Mongolia about trade and stopping the war." ”

Wei Mingxu was disdainful of Wei Yanxian's clumsy temptation, and just said: "This king has retired, if the emperor has such an official business, he should appoint the minister of the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of War. ”

Wei Yanxian breathed a sigh of relief, and only said that Wei Mingxu practiced it, but Wei Mingxu also politely declined, saying that one is not for the expedition, and the other is not for the envoy, just for play, and there is no need to make such a fuss.

It's just that the ninth sister is a little reluctant, and obviously wants to go out with Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan, Lin Zhixuan has asked her what she means, if she wants to go with her father and mother, Lin Zhixuan can also take the opportunity to mention this matter to Wei Yanxian.

The ninth sister hesitated slightly, but looked at Lin Zhixuan and said: "I'm afraid it's not okay now, Concubine Min has been pregnant for more than six months, and now she is relying on her mother's family to dominate the court, and she is even more powerful in the palace, and several sisters have been bullied by her."

The emperor's brother is pregnant because she is pregnant, so he always blindly indulges her, although the emperor's brother is also very protective of the queen's sister, but Min Guifei has too many tricks, and she loves to sow discord.

Sister Queen is also a non-quarrelsome character, I still accompany her in the palace, and I can still have long eyes for her, otherwise she is alone here and it is worrying. ”

Lin Zhixuan twisted her eyebrows and said, "Did you tell the emperor this?"

The ninth sister said with a sad face: "Naturally, I said it, and I don't know if the emperor's brother just thought that I didn't like Concubine Min, so he deliberately said bad things about her." I said so much, but he never listened to him, and he still treated Concubine Min very well. ”

Lin Zhixuan could somewhat guess Wei Yanxian's thoughts, after all, what Xie Jinnian had in his belly was his first child now, and he also saw the difficulties of Wei Mingxu's heirs, so he couldn't help but pay attention to his preference in this matter.
