Su Xu resolved his relationship issues quickly, after all, he's not young anymore, so it's perfectly normal.

This time, he took the initiative to write a letter to Guan Zhiyue, who was thousands of miles away.

He told her about his situation, explaining that he also wanted to request an imperial edict from the emperor.

With the help of Xuqing and Xuzhou, he got out of bed.

He then picked up a pen and wrote down his promise to her.

"Xuqing, take this letter to the palace and ask His Highness the Prince to deliver it to the Emperor."

Xu Qing clasped his hands and accepted the letter, then got up and headed outside. "Master, go to bed and rest!"

Su Xu shook his head. "Call the steward and have the finance department bring the Prince's mansion's account books."

"Since we promised a ten-mile-long red bridal procession, we must keep our word."

Xu Zhou was somewhat puzzled, but he still clasped his hands in greeting and left.

Meanwhile, let's talk about Guan Zhiyue.

They walked and looked around, practically exploring the entire town.

I've traveled through towns, cities, counties, prefectures, and states, big and small.

"Sigh, going out is really tiring!"

"I don't think so. As long as Yue'er is there, I feel that anywhere is good."

Rosamund Kwan: ​​You know nothing.

"Chang Le, come here quickly, let your mother hug you (づ??????)づ"

Guan Zhiyue sat on the prepared mat and stretched out her hands toward the three little ones who were playing nearby.

Now Chang Le can run and talk, which is quite amazing!

One- or two-year-old children are the most fun; those two crawling on the ground aren't fun at all.

Between those who can't speak and can only cry, and those who can only laugh, Chang Le is more fun.

Although I sometimes can't understand what they're saying, the parts I can understand are usually quite funny.

For example, if you ask her now, "Chang Le, do you like your father more, or your mother more?"

Chang Le would consider it carefully before answering, "I like them all."

However, pressing her advantage, she pressed further, asking, "But Mother wants a definite answer!"

She would grin, not say a word, and then give the two of them a quick kiss. Isn't this girl clever and funny?

As for those two boys, they'll let you hold them when they're hungry, but when they're not hungry...

Who the hell are you? I'm going to live life to the fullest on my own!

So it's definitely true that this little guy is more fun.

Li Qiji also came over, propping his head up with his left hand and reclining on the mat.

He reached out his right hand and pinched the cheek of little Chang Le, who was sitting in the middle, with a look of doting affection.

He didn't even want to look at those two little brats; they ruined his precious time with her every time.

Now Li Qiji is wondering whether bringing those two burdens along is a good thing or a bad thing.

However, Guan Zhiyue must not know this idea. If she finds out,

She had to skin him alive; he was the child she had painstakingly brought into the world.

Guan Zhiyue looked around and found that the river was quite clear and wide.

I wonder if there are any fish in it. The river water looks cool and clear, so the fish in it must have good meat, right?

"Li Qiji, do you think there are any fish in this river?"

Li Qiji raised his head and looked at the river not far away, where sunlight shone.

It looks sparkling and beautiful, and with a gentle breeze blowing, it really has a unique atmosphere!

"There should be, should we send someone down to check?"

As he was about to turn around and call out to Ji Wu, who was standing nearby, he told him to find someone to go down into the river and catch fish.

Guan Zhiyue raised her hand in refusal, "Are you stupid? It's so cold, please don't!"

"Don't we have that... you know?"

"I'll go get some fish feed, and then add some of that spiritual spring water, and the fish will come. Then we can get our nets ready to catch them."

Li Qiji reached out and pinched Chang Le's little braid, smiling as he coaxed her softly, "Go over to your little brother's side and watch him play. Father will catch some fish for you."

"Yes, Father, please be careful."

"Oh, I love you just the way you are, like a warm, cozy cotton-padded jacket that keeps out the wind."

Li Qiji was very happy. He swaggered over, tossed his hair, and walked toward where Guan Zhiyue was standing.

He moved closer to her and whispered, "Let your husband show you what he can do?"

Guan Zhiyue tilted her head and looked Li Qiji up and down, then handed him the basin in her hand, "You know how to prepare fish food?"

Li Qiji: "No, but it's alright, I can learn."

Guan Zhiyue: "Then you should watch me do it."

Li Qiji suddenly had a slightly impure thought and whispered in Guan Zhiyue's ear, "I'd really like to see what my wife does."

Guan Zhiyue felt something was off after hearing this, and turning her head, she saw Li Qiji's smug face.

She was wearing a cheeky smile when she suddenly understood what he meant. She rolled her eyes at him and moved away with the basin.

"If you go about 100 kilometers south, that's Brother Yuan's territory."

Guan Zhiyue turned her head to look at Li Qiji, who was standing on the riverbank, and then asked, "Are you talking about Ningjian Kingdom?"

"Yes! Yue'er, would you like to go and take a look?"

"Sure, it won't hurt to take a look."

******

After the meal, Guan Zhiyue and her group set off again in a grand procession, heading directly south.

Driving is so convenient; a hundred kilometers is no problem at all.

Now the roads are all asphalt, smooth and flat, and they're all official roads now.

More and more people are doing business, and you can see many caravans escorting goods along the way.

Not only mules and donkeys, but even horses and other animals were present.

All sorts of animals can be seen on the official road.

"Our country is becoming more and more developed now!"

"His Majesty is a wise and benevolent ruler, and our motherland is undergoing a completely new development."

Guan Zhiyue showered Li Qiji with compliments.

Li Qiji reached out and pulled Guan Zhiyue into his arms, looked out the window, and then said, "Isn't it all thanks to you, the Empress?"

"If the Empress hadn't discovered so many wonderful things, could our country have developed so quickly?"

"This is all thanks to the Empress!"

Look at these compliments! Each one is more eloquent than the last, and each one is louder than the last...

"Ah! Watch out!"

"What happened?"

"Your Majesty, a woman suddenly rushed towards us, which is why I swerved. Are you all alright?"

Li Qiji was holding Guan Zhiyue, so she was fine.

Li Qiji's arm slammed hard against the car window, and it must have been numb from the pain.

"Go down and see what's going on!"

Guan Zhiyue turned her head to look at Li Qiji, only to see him pursing his lips as if he was holding back something, before slowly exhaling, "It's alright, don't worry!"

"Did you hurt your arm? Are your bones okay?"

Li Qiji moved his hands to indicate that he was fine; he had just been bumped and was a little dazed.

"Are you feeling better now?" Guan Zhiyue asked anxiously. Li Qiji shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

The two then got out of the car and saw a woman, somewhat dirty, kneeling in front of their vehicle.

Her little face turned pale with fright, and the basket beside her overturned, scattering the wild vegetables inside all over the ground...
