Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Date (not), go out together...

Wu Tianyue urged Daiyu to go out and play, and finally came up with a plan that Daiyu liked, but it was rejected by Lu Chen.

Seeing Daiyu's shoulders slumped and she fell back on the bed, although she didn't say a word, Wu Tianyue could feel that she was very disappointed.

"I'll go with you when this is over," Wu Tianyue promised, patting his chest. "Besides, we can't go outside the city. It's much safer inside. The garden I'm staying in now is where my father, the king, and my mother stayed when they came to Yangzhou. It's ordinary, but the guesthouse is quite interesting. It's divided into two parts, the east and west buildings. Whether upstairs or downstairs, east and west, front and back, there are corridors connecting them, like a maze."

As he spoke, he pulled Daiyu up and said, "Although your garden is beautiful, I'm tired of staying there every day. It would be nice to go out for a walk to relax."

Then he called Zijuan, "Change your young lady's clothes."

After saying this, he went out and told people to prepare the carriage.

Everything was ready at once. The maid outside dismissed the servants, led Daiyu out, and got into the carriage.

Wu Tianyue rode a horse beside him and headed east.

Soon they arrived at the garden. The servants in the garden had already dispersed the crowd of onlookers and were waiting in front of the gate.

"Sister, come out! If you want to go for a stroll, go in through the gate." Wu Tianyue lifted the gauze curtain of the carriage and saw Zijuan trying to put a veil on Daiyu. He stopped her and said, "It's very hot to wear that. Besides, everything around is clean. Father is busy and not in the garden. Besides us, the only people inside are the eunuchs and palace maids who guard the garden."

Zijuan agreed and put away her veil. Just as she was about to get out of the carriage to help Daiyu, she saw Wu Tianyue walk to the front of the carriage and extend his hand, and Daiyu naturally took it.

Seeing this scene, Zijuan suddenly realized that her daughter seemed to be too close to Prince Zhongshun, but Baoyu also often did these things and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

Just as she was conflicted, Lu Chen smiled and pushed her, saying, "What are you doing here? The girl is about to come in."

Zijuan came to her senses and looked outside. Daiyu and Wu Tianyue were looking at the plaque with the words "Donggao" on the door. She hurriedly stood up, bent down, got off the carriage and stayed by their side.

As soon as he stood still, he heard Daiyu say, "Isn't this plaque from 'Climbing the East Hill to let out a whistle, and overlooking the clear stream to compose a poem'?"

"Sister, you are indeed well-read," Wu Tianyue flattered her. "My father is also a rough man, and he likes to show off. He didn't know how to modify it, so he just used the poem he heard."

When Daiyu was in Beijing, she heard Grandmother Jia mention that Princess Zhongshun was a famous talent in her youth among the boudoir, and Prince Zhongshun was also quite famous for his talent outside. How could they be a coarse person? He must have thought that she was showing off her poetry, so she snorted, "Don't take this opportunity to mock me."

After saying that, he lifted his leg and walked into the door.

"It's unfair! How dare I mock you?" Wu Tianyue hurried to catch up. Seeing the eunuch guarding the garden also following, he smiled and pointed at Zijuan and the others: "How can I not be familiar with this garden? Find a few palace maids to take them around and rest."

"Yes." The eunuch in charge quickly agreed, and then said, "People have been arranged everywhere. The prince can tell them if he has anything to say."

Wu Tianyue nodded, and seeing Daiyu waiting at the cave entrance ahead, he hurried over.

Zijuan wanted to catch up, but Luchen smiled and held her back: "The security here is tight, nothing will happen. Besides, we've been busy for so long, we should relax a bit."

Zijuan couldn't express her thoughts clearly, so she could only watch the two of them go away, and then she went to tour the garden with Luchen and others.

Here, Wu Tianyue caught up with Daiyu and took her on a slow tour. After looking at the exquisite brick carvings, they entered the boat hall.

Daiyu walked across the rippled ground and entered the spacious hall. Surrounded by small bridges, winding ponds, flowers and trees, and the ripples under her feet, it was just like the couplet hanging on the eaves: "The moon is the host, the plum is the guest, the flowers are the walls, and the boat is the home."

Seeing that Daiyu liked it, Wu Tianyue took her around to the northeast corner and climbed up the rockery "Jinyue Pavilion" against the wall to experience the ingenuity of "sailing on land".

Daiyu couldn't help but feel happy while sighing, and wanted to discuss it with the people around her, but when she turned around, she saw Wu Tianyue's happy smile.

Thinking of how he had recently left her behind to have fun alone, she hummed softly, turned her head and walked down the path.

Wu Tianyue saw her suddenly leave and hurriedly followed her: "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

"I just said that I was very tired after sitting on the boat for a long time, and you brought me to see the boat again." Daiyu quickened her pace and moved forward.

"I was wrong." Wu Tianyue apologized smoothly and pulled Daiyu west. "This was my favorite place to go when I was a child. It's like a maze."

As he spoke, he saw that Daiyu was a little out of breath, so he took a step forward and half-knelt down.

"What are you doing?" Daiyu frowned.

"I'll carry you on my back." Wu Tianyue smiled and turned back. "You hate it most when servants follow you, but the West Garden is indeed quite far away. You can't go that far without a sedan chair."

Hearing this, Daiyu was touched and couldn't help smiling. Besides, no one had yet instilled in her the idea of ​​respecting superiors and avoiding suspicion, so she looked around and saw no one, so she leaned over and lay on Wu Tianyue's back.

Wu Tianyue sensed her slightly cool breath, stood up and said with a smile: "People around my sister don't need to avoid the heat, just stay close to you."

Daiyu's face turned slightly red from the scorching heat on his neck. She was feeling uncomfortable, and when she heard him talking dirty again, she grabbed her ear with her bare hands and twisted it back.

"I was wrong, I was wrong." Wu Tianyue screamed and apologized repeatedly.

"Hurry up and leave." Daiyu put down her hand with satisfaction and said angrily.

Wu Tianyue didn't dare to say anything and walked forward with Daiyu on his back. But he didn't stay quiet for long. He wanted to tease Daiyu again and secretly sped up his pace.

Daiyu was startled and patted his shoulder: "Go well."

"Look at the scenery around you." Wu Tianyue didn't listen, used his internal energy, and walked faster.

Upon hearing this, Daiyu looked around and saw the surrounding flowers, trees, pavilions and towers flying quickly backwards, as if something was sucking them away from behind.

My scalp tingled, but I also felt excited and refreshed, like a carefree bird.

Just as he was immersed in it, he heard Wu Tianyue say proudly: "It's different from what you usually see."

Daiyu came back to her senses and said proudly, "That's all."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Tianyue slowed down his pace. Daiyu asked, "What are you doing?"

Wu Tianyue deliberately said: "You said it's the same as usual, why should I bother?"

"I didn't say that." Daiyu blushed, "You're trying to bully me again."

Hearing that her voice sounded a little angry, Wu Tianyue didn't dare to tease her anymore and quickened his pace.

When they arrived at the West Garden, Daiyu felt a little reluctant to leave, but was afraid that he would find another opportunity to laugh at her, so she quickly got down, straightened her clothes, and followed him into the corridor.

Soon, Daiyu was attracted by the various stone tablets engraved in the corridor, and she admired them as she walked.

Seeing that she could not walk, Wu Tianyue explained the origin of the stele one by one, and discussed the poems and handwriting on it with her.

As the two were admiring the painting, a young palace maid came running over and said, "The prince and the young lady are here. The chief historian is looking for the two masters."

"What does he want us to do?" Wu Tianyue asked in confusion.

"It seems that the prince is looking for the prince for something."

Wu Tianyue nodded, turned around and saw Daiyu looking a little disappointed, and said with a smile: "I knew you wanted to go out and play. You said in the house earlier that you didn't want to go out."

"You are the only one who has a mouth." Daiyu blushed, cursed him, and left angrily.

"I was just kidding." Wu Tianyue hurriedly caught up with her, "It's very far from here. Let's wait until the sedan chair arrives before leaving."

Daiyu didn't listen and walked around him.

Seeing this, Wu Tianyue picked her up and said, "What if your feet hurt again tonight?"

"Don't bother me." Daiyu struggled to leave.

Wu Tianyue hugged her tightly: "Be careful, I used my internal energy, what if I get a stitch in the side?"

Daiyu hurriedly stopped and heard him laugh out loud. Then she realized he was lying to her, stood up and twisted his ear: "Put me down."

Seeing that she was really angry, Wu Tianyue obediently put her down and stood beside her to apologize.

Fortunately, Zijuan and others had also received the news and rushed over with sedan chairs. Daiyu got into the sedan chair with a sullen face. Wu Tianyue sighed and got into another sedan chair amid the teasing laughter of the maids.

Daiyu saw his dejected look in the sedan chair and laughed softly.

He went out to meet the chief historian, changed to a carriage, and went all the way back to the Lin Mansion.

Steward Lin was waiting at the door. Seeing the two return, he greeted them with a smile: "The prince is back. The prince and the master are waiting for you in the study."

Wu Tianyue turned to look at the carriage. Before he could say anything, Daiyu's voice rang out, "You go. I can go back by myself."

After hearing this, Wu Tianyue dismounted and went to the study with the chief historian and steward Lin.

Prince Zhongshun was discussing with Lin Ruhai in the room. When he heard the two men had arrived, he hurriedly let them in.

Wu Tianyue walked in, bowed, and said, "What does my father want from me?"

"The Emperor was delighted and approved the military training, ordering the Prince to immediately select men to go to Gusu," Lin Ruhai said with a smile. "This time, thanks to the Crown Prince, he not only broke through Yangzhou's impregnable salt administration, but also devised a plan for the Jiangnan navy."

"Stop praising him," Prince Zhongshun snorted and laughed. "His tail is about to rise to the sky."

Wu Tianyue was very unhappy when he heard this: "Why can't I be praised for doing a good job?"

"Your Highness's demands are too harsh," the Chief Historian said, offering a conciliatory tone. "The Crown Prince is so intelligent and capable, unlike us old and clumsy-minded people."

Prince Zhongshun was also happy, but he feared that his pride would lead to his downfall. He shook his head and stopped talking, instead instructing Wu Tianyue to pack up his things. "You should prepare these days. The emperor has approved Lord Lin's request to retire. Once the successor to the Salt Inspector arrives, we will return to the capital. Your mother must miss you very much."

After that, let him go.

When mentioning Princess Zhongshun, Wu Tianyue's mood also became depressed. He had not seen his mother for almost a year. They had never been separated for such a long time before. Moreover, his father and mother had been running around and working hard for him, which made him feel even more guilty and uncomfortable.

Wu Tianyue walked out of the door listlessly, and suddenly asked the system: [Can people like you have parents?]

[I don't know either. It's not mentioned in the program.] The system thought for a moment and said, [We are responding to the readers' requests to modify the heroine's tragic ending. There shouldn't be a system to save the heroine.]

"Then why did you choose me? Can't you just do it among yourselves?" Wu Tianyue asked repeatedly, "I don't think Daiyu even knows you exist. Did you get her permission to change her life?"

"We are merely digital beings, without human thoughts. Furthermore, the book itself is very restrictive. Inserting someone would consume a tremendous amount of energy. Choosing someone from the book's world not only saves energy but also allows us to save an extra person." The system explained, "As for the heroine, we've only created a variable. She has her own thoughts. If, despite this change, she still chooses the original ending, we have no right to interfere."

As he spoke, sadness welled up in his heart: "As for why I chose you, it was because you were struggling in the water, your will to survive was so strong. It was my first job, and I was soft-hearted. I didn't expect you to be a natural-born general. Saving you took too much energy, and I didn't have any extra energy to spare, so I had to fight to the end. And you kept asking for trouble, draining my energy."

Wu Tianyue listened to its explanation. Although he didn't understand many words, it seemed that it was much more miserable than himself who had to do the task for no reason. It seemed that it was so miserable because of him. He couldn't say anything harsh for a while.

But it was too noisy. Wu Tianyue was just debating whether to block it out when he heard Daiyu's voice: "What are you doing here?"
