The speed of returning to Beijing is much faster than when I came.

It's kind of in a hurry.

Fang Yu knew that Pei Yao wanted to hurry back to Kyoto as soon as possible, so that he could calm down and take care of things along the coast.

Sure enough, after returning to Beijing, Pei Yao started busy mode again.

The fourth prince was also busy in supervising the country during this time, and now he is discussing the banditry in Lanzhou with Pei Yao, and he is even more busy with his feet not touching the ground.

Both father and son are workaholics.

However, the fourth prince still took the time to take the crown princess Lu into the palace and asked Fang Yu for a few times.

The main reason is that they heard that they were assassinated in Lanzhou, and they are very worried.

The princesses weren't busy.

The second princess also took the child into the palace to live for a while, and the seventh princess also gathered around Fang Yu every day.

The sisters mainly listen to stories.

In today's era of underdeveloped transportation, it is not easy to go far away, even if you are a princess, you rarely have the experience of traveling far away, and you are naturally curious about external things.

This time, Fang Yu also brought back a lot of new gadgets from the south, and all the small ornaments from the West were asked for the children to play.

She doesn't like to fiddle with these now, and prefers to make perfume and flower arrangement.

By the time Pei Yao was idle, it was already March of the following year.

Under the thunderous measures of the past six months, the bandits along the coast have been reduced a lot, and there is no need to worry so much about the next things.

After finishing this time, Pei Yao was also tired.

As soon as he arrived in the Yuzhang Palace, he shouted that he was sore.

Fang Yu massaged his head and suggested, "Since the emperor feels tired, it is better to rest for a while, go to the garden outside, or in the Zhuangzi, be idle and leisurely, and the body is important." ”

"Don't say it, I have this idea, now I see that Ji'er is doing a good job, anyway, I will hand it over to him sooner or later, and now I will tell him to be busy young man." Pei Yao said with a smile.

Thinking of the four princes' handling of government affairs during this time, they were orderly and very proper, and Pei Yao was also very relieved and satisfied.

"The emperor can rest assured, then leave it to him, now is the spring flowers, a good time to go out, it is also excellent to go out for a walk." Fang Yu said with a smile.

Pei Yao nodded, and then instructed Hong Zheng to prepare for the preparation, he would take the imperial concubine to Qinhe Garden to live for a while.

Now Pei Yao only takes Fang Yu with him wherever he goes, so Hong Zheng doesn't talk much, and asks if the other concubines are going, so he goes down directly to prepare.

Unexpectedly, when the news came out, the first one to make trouble was the four princes.

"Father, the son is still young, how can these things be left to the son alone, you are taking your mother and concubine to relax, poor son is foaming at the mouth tired, how long do you plan to go? Or, bring your sons with you, it just so happens that your sons and the princess have been married for so long, and they haven't taken the princess out to relax. ”

The four princes pulled Pei Yao's sleeves with a hippie smile, and they didn't feel unruly, so they gathered around Pei Yao.

"It's still young, it's still small, it's all married, what's so small." Pei Yao pulled back his sleeves without giving face, "Didn't you do a good job last year, why can't you do it now?" I'm old, I'm going to be idle, you're still young, don't work, sleep a lot? ”

Seeing that it was useless to be coquettish, the fourth prince pursed his lips and sat back in his place.

Immediately, his eyes rolled, and he poured another cup of tea and handed it to Pei Yao.

"Father, as the saying goes, you can't want the horses to run, but also the horses don't eat grass, the sons should be filial to their fathers and share their worries for their fathers, but well, the sons have a small request, and ask the father to see that the sons have no merit and hard work, and reward the sons and daughters with the same thing."

"What do you want?"

Pei Yao took the teacup and took a shallow sip.

"I want a Zhuangzi from my father." The fourth prince smiled, "It's the Zhuangzi on the mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, and there is a temple on the top of the mountain, called Xiaoyin Temple." ”

Hearing this, Fang Yu, who had been sitting next to him fiddling with the vase, couldn't help but pause slightly.

"Xiaoyin Temple, I haven't been to this place for a long time."

His thoughts were suddenly dragged back to more than 20 years ago, when Fang Yu had not been in the East Palace for a long time, and he had just taken the second princess to his knees to raise him.

In the summer, Pei Yao took her, Song Shuren and He Liangdi to go together.

Now, the two princesses have become families and mothers, Song Shuren raised the third prince, and now she is a concubine and a grandmother, but He has long since passed away, and suddenly remembered the old things, and she was still in a trance.

"The master of Yinian back then must have passed away for many years, and the concubine still remembers that the food in the Xiaoyin Temple tasted excellent."

When she mentioned it like this, it also caused Pei Yao to think of the old things, and she couldn't help but lose her mind for a while.

"After I ascended the throne, I sent someone to Xiaoyin Temple to ask Master Yinian to go to the National Temple to practice, but Master Yinian did not agree, and there was no contact in the future, and now I have not been to Xiaoyin Temple for many years."

"The taste of the rice is still good, but now there is really no master Yinian, the new abbot is the master of Daoyuan, and Erchen has been there."

The voice of the fourth prince sounded, interrupting the thoughts of the two.

At this time, Pei Yao glanced at his son and said with a smile, "No wonder you remember that Zhuangzi, you have been there." ”

"Father's Zhuangzi is naturally excellent, and the sons just look at it as a good place to escape the heat and enjoy the coolness." The fourth prince smiled.

Most of the things that Pei Yao gave to the four princes when he was the crown prince, and those who didn't give it like this Zhuangzi are a few, and they are also what Pei Yao really likes.

However, it is not realistic for him to go to Zhuangzi to live now, and if he wants to escape the summer, he will go to Anlu Villa or Qinhe Garden, these large gardens are suitable and safer, so he will naturally not be stingy with this little thing.

"I'll give it to you if you want it, and I'll do it well during this time." Pei Yao said with a smile.

The fourth prince looked even more happy to get the candy, smiled and thanked him before getting up to leave.

After he left, Pei Yao said softly to the other party again.

"I want to leave the palace left and right, but I also want to go to Xiaoyin Temple to have a look, take advantage of this opportunity, let's go and have a look."

"It's okay, the concubine also wants to go to the temple to have a stick of incense."

Fang Yu nodded, his eyebrows and eyes gentle.

Things were arranged quickly, and we left three days later.

There is still a distance between the two places, so the itinerary is to start from the palace in the early morning, arrive in Zhuangzi in the morning, and walk up a mountain road.

Then we went down the mountain and took a car to Qinhe Garden.

By the time we arrived at Qinhe Garden, it was estimated that it would be evening.

During this time out of the palace, all the affairs in the palace will be handed over to Concubine Song to take care of, and she can rest assured.

got up early, Fang Yu was still a little sleepy, and he got into the carriage and began to make up for sleep.

Pei Yao couldn't sleep, so he sat next to him and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The carriage swayed, and when it was almost time to reach Zhuangzi, Pei Yao woke up Fang Yu.

"I was so addicted to sleep that I almost couldn't wake up." Fang Yu leaned his head on Pei Yao's shoulder to wake up.

Pei Yao smiled, "What did you dream about?" ”

"I dreamed that I was in the Zhuangzi for summer vacation and took a nap in the afternoon, and the emperor brought chilled plum soup to the concubines to drink." The corners of Fang Yu's lips were also slightly hooked.

After all these years, it is really emotional to revisit the old place.

"It's a pity that it's spring now, I remember that you loved to eat the sour and spicy lotus roots made on this Zhuangzi back then, and now you can't eat them, and when it's summer, ask someone to send some into the palace." Pei Yao said.

Fang Yu sat up, took his hand, and said with a smile, "The emperor still remembers these trivial things, and the concubines are really going to be moved." ”

"Poor mouth." Pei Yao squeezed her hand, "Okay, pack up, it's time to get off." (End of chapter)
