Chapter 112 Isn't it beautiful?
Xia Xing'er felt the spiritual energy in her body rushing around, as if she was about to advance.
Everyone was making dinner at this time, and I couldn't take care of so many things and couldn't control myself.
Xia Xing'er walked up to Liu Youran and made an excuse: "Mom, I feel a little unwell. I'm going to rest in the carriage first and won't have dinner. Please don't call me."
If he hadn't felt the strength of his daughter's hand gripping his arm, he would have been shocked by this excuse.
My daughter won’t get sick easily. If she does, it will be a big deal!
Xia Xing'er was afraid that her mother would think too much, so she secretly passed a message to her, and only then did Liu Youran feel relieved.
"Then go and rest. Mom will heat up your food for you. Come out and eat whenever you want. Don't go to bed hungry. It's not good for your health!"
Xia Qingyu and Sanxiao just wanted to follow Xia Xinger into the carriage, but were stopped by Liu Youran.
"Xing'er is tired, so she's resting in the carriage. Third brother, take your three nephews and go play wherever they want. Don't disturb her."
The three little ones are all very clever and know that something must have happened to their aunt.
He even pretended to be serious and said, "Auntie is not feeling well. Let's go catch some rabbits to nourish her body. Uncle, do you want to come with us?"
Xia Qingyu said without thinking: "Go!"
The last time my little sister took the three kids to catch rabbits, he was very envious.
This time, it was his turn to bring his three little ones with him. He had to catch at least a hundred or eighty rabbits to prove his strength.
This time, Xia Qingyu and the three little guys were destined to return home disappointed. Not to mention rabbits, they didn't even see a single rabbit hair.
Before, when Xia Xing'er was here, she could tell where the rabbits were just by using her mental power to scan.
Now that Xia Xing'er, their cheating tool, is gone, the three little guys have lost interest in catching rabbits.
"Uncle, do you think this one in my hand looks like a rabbit?"
Xia Zibo was holding a rat in his hand. It was completely black, with shiny fur, a pointed beak and green eyes, and a long, thin tail. Isn't this a big rat?
I don't know where this little guy came from, but he's still jumping around and squeaking!
Xia Qing sat down on the ground in shock. Fortunately, she had been naughty and caught many mice when she was a child, so she was not scared.
If it were someone else, they would be scared to death.
"This rabbit's meat is inedible, so let's just let it go!"
"oh!"
Xia Zibo's chubby fingers suddenly loosened, and the big rat fell to the ground.
It just rolled over like a carp, turned over and ran away.
As soon as Xia Xing'er got on the carriage, she quickly entered her personal space, drank a cup of spiritual spring water, sat cross-legged, and began to use the Changchun Jue.
After half a month's journey, Emperor Shunkang's palace-moving team finally arrived at the foot of Chongyang Mountain at dusk.
The wind blew away the clouds, the shadows of the trees dimmed, and a hint of light remained in the sky.
The eunuch accompanying him was so thirsty that he said to Emperor Shunkang: "Your Majesty, please hold on a little longer. Once we pass that bend, we will reach Chongyang Palace!"
In order to reach Chongyang Palace as soon as possible, they had hardly any rest during the past half month of traveling.
The Emperor Shunkang had lost weight visibly after all the hardships he had gone through in the simple wooden sedan chair. At this moment, he no longer had any imperial dignity. Some people would even believe him if he said he was a refugee!
No one could tell that this was the almighty emperor of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
The bones in his body were almost shaken apart. Emperor Shunkang looked ahead, and a different kind of charm finally appeared on his tired and numb face.
After such a long journey, I finally see hope. Chongyang Palace, here I come!
He must take a good bath tonight, find a few palace maids to massage his back and legs, and then have a sumptuous imperial meal!
It’s beautiful just to think about it!
Thinking of this, my stomach started to growl.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had a proper meal.
In order to guard against the hateful thieves, he didn't dare to use the silver even if he had it.
He didn't dare keep the silver given to him by the families of his ministers and concubines at home.
Looking at the court officials behind him, each one more haggard than the other, Emperor Shunkang felt a rare sense of relief.
Only when others are worse off than oneself can one feel superior.
No matter what, he is the emperor of the entire Xuanyuan Dynasty, how can he live a worse life than the court officials!
"My dear ministers, you have worked hard recently. Bandits have wreaked havoc in the capital, disrupting the entire city's peace. I'm sure none of you have had a good night's sleep. I will host a banquet in Yunyang Palace tonight so that you can relax and unwind!"
The court officials who were not targeted by the thieves had a lot of grievances!
They lived a good life in the capital, eating and drinking well. If the emperor had not suddenly moved the palace, none of them would want to come to this desolate place.
If Emperor Shunkang knew that his beloved ministers called his favorite Chongyang Palace a place where no one lives, he would definitely be furious.
The court officials only dared to think so in their hearts; they did not dare to let the emperor know their true thoughts.
After all, the emperor was still eating boiled vegetables, so how could they dare to stay in the capital and eat delicious food?
He had to pretend to be very happy and said with gratitude: "Your Majesty is wise and considerate of me. I am so lucky!"
“That’s right!”
"The capital is now full of thieves. I live in fear every day, unable to eat or sleep. I worry about your majesty's safety all the time. Now that I have come to Chongyang Palace, I can finally put my mind at ease."
The court officials whose mansions and shops had been emptied were so happy that they cried and wished they could jump and do somersaults on the spot.
This is great! They no longer have to eat meals without any oil every day. They can finally have a meal that is worthy of human consumption.
Thinking about the royal banquet I will be able to enjoy later, my mouth is watering. I would like to eat such a banquet as much as I can!
Several wealthy officials seemed to see the exquisite delicacies in Chongyang Palace waving to them, saying, "Come quickly, come and eat me!"
They must have a full stomach tonight no matter what.
Get a few more boxes of food, so you can take away all the food when the time comes.
The hungry court officials could no longer wait and said to Emperor Shunkang, "Your Majesty, it's not safe at night. We should hurry and get to Chongyang Palace sooner so we can rest assured."
"That's right, let's go early. I heard there's an observation tower inside Chongyang Palace. I'm so old, but I've never seen it. This time I must go and see it, so that I won't miss it when I'm gone."
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if someone danced and played the piano, accompanied by a few jugs of wine!
Not only did the court officials think so, but Emperor Shunkang also had the same idea.
He really wanted to indulge himself, but who would have thought that the emperor of the Xuanyuan Dynasty would have only plain soup for three meals a day without any meat.
