Chapter Ninety-Eight: On the Road

When they went out to the gate of the palace, when Emperor Yan gave the order, everyone walked to their carriage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the number of carriages is limited, except for Emperor Yan and Concubine Qi, who have separate carriages, the other concubines are all in the same carriage. Empress Liu sat in the same carriage as the eldest prince, and Concubine Shu and the second prince sat in the same carriage.

Most of the concubines and ministers followed Emperor Yan to the autumn hunt, and looking at the vast group of people in the past, Su Zixu searched for a long time before finding his carriage.

Just as he was wondering who he would sit in the same carriage with, he saw the third prince dressed in red holding Mama Bai's hand and walking towards his carriage.

The warm sunlight sprinkled on his body, and his face was so white and tender that it seemed to be dripping water, making him look more and more like a golden boy, and he was very cute.

"Moon Niangniang. When he walked in front of him, the third prince shouted glutinously.

"What a beautiful garment you are wearing today. Su Zixu praised.

"Yao'er is cute or beautiful?" the third prince asked rhetorically.

Su Zixu smiled lightly, she now found that the third prince was really getting smarter, and then replied: "The clothes are beautiful." ”

When the third prince heard this, he drooped his head and looked a little unhappy.

Su Zixu couldn't bear to tease him anymore, so he said, "You are the cutest." ”

"Yao'er knows that every time Yue Niangniang is lying to Yao'er. The third prince suddenly raised his head and said excitedly.

Yo, this baby is getting better and better at acting, Su Zixu thought to himself.

"Alright, go find your carriage and get ready to go. After Su Zixu finished speaking, he raised his feet and prepared to get into his carriage.

"Yue Niangniang, go up with Yao'er. As soon as Su Zixu held the carriage, the third prince pulled the corner of her clothes and said.

"Huh?" Su Zixu got down from the carriage and said to him: "This is the carriage that Yue Niangniang wants to take, you have to take your own carriage, you can't sit with Yue Niangniang." ”

These are all stipulated, even if the third prince likes her again, she can't break the rules.

"Yue Wanrong, the emperor has ordered, this time the three princes of the autumn hunt are in the same carriage as you. Mama Bai stepped forward to explain.

Su Zixu looked down at the three princes with eyes like torches and a look of anticipation, and wondered in her heart: It was actually the third prince who was in the same carriage with her this time?

Suspiciously, he glanced in the direction of Emperor Yan, and found that Emperor Yan was talking to General Ye, and Su Zixu turned his head again.

Why did the emperor arrange this?

Not only Su Zixu, but even Mama Bai was inexplicable, although she also doubted Yue Wanrong's identity, but she really couldn't guess the emperor's intentions.

When the concubines next to her heard this, they all focused their eyes on Su Zixu.

The emperor arranged the three princes and Yue Wanrong in the same carriage, which was very shocking to them. However, doubts are doubts, and they don't dare to guess the emperor's thoughts at will.

Su Zixu pretended not to see anything, picked up the third prince, and said, "Come, Yue Niangniang will carry you up." ”

"Good. The third prince replied sweetly.

After putting the three princes into the carriage, Liuli stepped forward to help Su Zixu up, but Su Zixu jumped up by himself.

The other concubines were dumbfounded. They were all supported by the palace people when they got into the carriage and went up gently, and Su Zixu's smooth movements were like a rough village woman in their eyes, which was shocking.

After Su Zixu lowered the curtain of the car, the others looked away for a long time and got into their carriage.

No one noticed, Emperor Yan saw all this in his eyes, and only after he couldn't see Su Zixu's figure did he look away.

The majestic voice of the emperor echoed at the palace gate: "Get up." ”

A mighty wagon began to drive towards the Valley of the Ghosts, and the scene was incomparably magnificent.

The carriage was moving slowly, Su Zixu's carriage was behind him, and when he passed through the capital, Su Zixu picked up the curtain and looked at the shouting vendors and all kinds of people outside the car.

Su Zixu was attracted, this capital is really luxurious, people come and go, there is an endless stream of vendors, and all kinds of things are placed on both sides of the road, which is dazzling.

If it weren't for making a way for their group, it would have been even more lively.

It was the first time she had witnessed the grandeur of the ancient capital.

"Yue Niangniang, what are you doing?" the third prince asked curiously.

Su Zixu beckoned to the third prince sitting opposite: "Come here." ”

The third prince sat down obediently.

"Wow, Yue Niangniang, what are those?" the third prince exclaimed in surprise after seeing what was outside.

At this time, there was a child eating a string of sugar gourds, and the third prince swallowed his saliva after seeing it, looked at Su Zixu expectantly, and said, "Yue Niangniang, Yao'er also wants to eat." ”

"Little gluttonous cat. Su Zixu smiled and whispered, and whispered to Liuli outside the carriage: "Liuli, come here." ”

"Master, is there something wrong?" Liuli turned around and asked, she had been staring at those things intently just now, and she hadn't noticed Su Zixu's movements.

Su Zixu took out his purse, looked at it for a long time, and found that he didn't bring copper coins, only silver, so he took out one or two pieces of silver and gave it to her, and said, "Go buy twenty strings of sugar gourds and come back, hurry up." ”

"Twenty skewers, master, are you sure you want to buy twenty skewers?"

"Hmm. Su Zixu nodded.

"A tael of silver is too much. ”

"I've only brought some silver, so go buy it and don't delay too long. ”

Suspiciously, Ruri took the silver and went away.

Because the carriage that Su Zixu was sitting in was behind, and there were many people in the capital, no one noticed that Liuli was missing.

After a short time, Liuli bought twenty strings of sugar gourds and came back, handed the remaining money and sugar gourds to Su Zixu, and said, "Master, give it." ”

Su Zixu took the money and sugar gourd, and took two strings of sugar gourds to Liuli: "You take one string, and the other string is for Mama Lian, you can taste it." After thinking for a while, Su Zixu took out another string from the paper bag and said, "This string is for Mama Bai, you go and ask her if she wants to eat it." ”

Liuli responded.

Su Zixu put down the curtain of the car, took out a string to the third prince, and said, "Come, take it." ”

The third prince happily took the sugar gourd, licked it, smacked his lips happily, and said, "Sweet." ”

Su Zixu took out a bunch and began to eat it, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

The third prince kept nodding.

Su Zixu laughed and said nothing. There were no snacks in ancient times, and this sugar gourd was relatively special, but the third prince was a royal man and had been living in the palace, not to mention that he had eaten it, and he had never seen these things.

For Su Zixu, she only felt sad.

The children of the royal family seem to enjoy all the glory and wealth, but in fact they have a lot less fun than the children of the people.

Especially the third prince, he may have to embark on a road to win the heir in the future, and his carefree days should only be a few years.

Seeing the appearance of the third prince eating the sugar gourd in surprise, Su Zixu touched his head with some distress and said, "Eat more." ”

"Hmm. ”

After the three princes ate two skewers and Su Zixu ate three skewers, Su Zixu wrapped the sugar gourd and said to the three princes: "You can't eat too many of these things, Yue Niangniang will put them away first, and we will eat them when we get to the resting place." ”

Looking at the eager eyes of the third prince, Su Zixu shook his head helplessly, took out a string and handed it to him: "This is the last string, you can't eat more." ”

"Good. The third prince replied sweetly.

On the first night, according to the previous route, the group stopped to rest at the first post station, which was a small town not far from the capital, and the people in the post station where Emperor Yan and the others rested had already prepared everything in advance after being notified.

There will be a number of post stations along the way from the capital to the Valley of Ghosts that are dedicated to the royal service, and that post station is one of them. Because in previous years, Emperor Yan would rest there when he went to autumn hunting, so he already had experience.

When Emperor Yan and his party arrived, it didn't take much time to wash up and rest.
