However, this is not an easy matter; it is definitely not a trip that can be taken on a whim. There is a lot of preparation work to be done.

It seems that Li Wenzhong was in charge of Zhu Xiong Ying's departure from the palace, but Li Jinglong and Chang Sen were also summoned to the palace. They would be Zhu Xiong Ying's 'close attendants', almost like protecting him closely.

On the other hand, the Imperial Guard Commandery also needs to make preparations in advance. Overt and covert guards also need to be in place.

Empress Ma was enthusiastically dressing up her eldest grandson, Zhu Xiong Ying, who was wearing a long, wide blue cloth robe and a square-shaped headscarf.

Looking at the young scholar before her, Empress Ma asked, "Zhu'er, how is it?"

Zhu Xiong Ying immediately opened her arms and spun around slightly, fulfilling her duty as a child model.

"How about we give Ying'er a Qilin robe?" Zhu Zhu was in her worried aunt mode, somewhat concerned. "A python robe would be better. Those people outside don't know Ying'er's identity, and it wouldn't be good if they offended him."

Zhu Xiong Ying immediately said, "Aunt, my cousin from my maternal uncle's family is with me, as is my third uncle! If I wear the imperial robe, all those scholars will recognize me, and that won't be good!"

Zhu Zhu said somewhat irritably, "You're such a busybody! Father and my brother are outstanding people of our time. Anyone who catches their eye is bound to be excellent! But you're always causing trouble. What do you even know? As I see it, you just want to leave the palace and cause trouble!"

"I have good taste!" Zhu Xiong Ying said matter-of-factly, entering a banter mode. "I found a husband for my aunt, so it's my responsibility to take care of her children from now on!"

Empress Ma was too lazy to say anything, but suddenly she felt a little reluctant to part with it.

Her eldest daughter got married a few years ago and rarely returns to the palace now. Over the years, she's grown accustomed to her younger daughter and grandson bickering all the time. But now, looking around, her younger daughter will soon be married too, leaving her with only her eldest grandson!

With everything prepared, Zhu Xiong Ying left the palace under the guidance of Li Wen Zhong.

Chang Sen had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, and Li Jinglong immediately came to greet him.

"You two take good care of the Crown Prince and make sure no one offends him," Li Wenzhong said earnestly with a stern face. "Jiujiang, I won't say anything more. I've said everything I needed to say."

The elegant young master Li Jinglong quickly replied, "Father, I will certainly take good care of the Crown Prince."

Li Wenzhong nodded slightly, then said to Chang Sen, "Are you clear about the difference between ruler and subject?"

Chang Sen nodded hurriedly, feeling immense pressure in front of his peer Li Wenzhong. "Lord Cao, I understand. Please rest assured, Lord Cao, I will certainly take good care of the Crown Prince."

Li Wenzhong nodded slightly, then said, "The Crown Prince will make the decisions. You two just need to do your duty. If anything happens, take the Crown Prince with you and leave. That's the most important thing!"

Zhu Xiong Ying simply stood aside and listened attentively, looking like a well-behaved child, as if she could take advice.

The Crown Prince is a veteran actor!
