The next day.
The emperor had just returned to the imperial study after the morning court session when he heard the secret guard report.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu's secret guards are investigating the matter of the divine flower. Would you like to let him know?"
That person's martial arts skills are not as good as theirs, and no one knows how he became a secret guard.
However, this person has increased their workload a lot.
They have to help this person leave the palace at night without being discovered by the other party. Do you know how difficult it is for them to hide in the dark and hold back their laughter?
"Well, go ahead and do it."
[That shouldn't be the case. Since the tyrant ordered a secret guard to keep an eye on Xiao Shize, didn't he think this secret guard was too weak?]
What's the tyrant up to? Is he trying to play tricks on Xiao Shize and Concubine Shu?
The secret guard released the news, and Xiao Shize reported it to Concubine Shu after receiving the news.
Concubine Shu held the cup in her hand and pondered for a moment before saying, "We'll wait and see what happens on the day of the grand ceremony."
Today's emperor is no longer the easy-going but unpleasant boy he was in his childhood. Besides, she has not yet avenged that man, so she must deal with it with caution and not underestimate the enemy.
"yes."
"By the way," Concubine Shu put down the teacup and raised her hand to rub her brow, "First, focus on Prince Duan's matter. If you have any clues, tell me immediately."
…
Over the next two days, everyone waited peacefully for the ceremony to begin.
Until the day of departure, the magical flower still had not bloomed.
"The Emperor patted the prince's shoulder and said, 'Don't worry, I know what's going on.'"
Those who went to the palace together got on the sedan chair one after another.
Yu Yiluo was held in Empress Xian's arms, looking as if she was in a trance.
[How can I get the flower thief to kidnap Concubine Shu later? I'm so worried.]
[Luckily, my mother isn't wearing anything too flashy today, so she shouldn't be noticed by the flower thief.]
As Yu Yiluo was thinking, she fell asleep.
When she woke up again and found that the team was resting, she rubbed her eyes.
【Why hasn’t it arrived yet?】
Empress Xian saw that she had woken up, fed her, changed her diaper, and pinched her little face with a smile.
"Luo'er will probably be there when she wakes up after a good sleep."
Concubine Shu, who was resting not far away, glanced in the direction of the emperor and the prince without leaving a trace. Seeing that they looked normal, she slowly withdrew her gaze.
Could it be that the divine flower has already blossomed? Otherwise, why are these two people so calm?
"Toffee, are you okay?"
Concubine Shu nodded.
At this time, the emperor came over with a smile.
"Aunt, we'll be here in a few hours. Are you okay?"
Concubine Shu smiled gently, "It's okay. I haven't seen the divine flower in more than ten years. Seeing it today is worth it."
While saying this, Concubine Shu observed the emperor's expression.
The emperor could not fail to hear the probing meaning in her words, and said calmly, "I will not let my aunt down."
It depends on whether you can persist to that stage.
After the emperor finished talking with Concubine Shu, he went to see Yu Yiluo again.
"If you are tired of holding Luo'er, then let me hold her."
Empress Xian smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, Luo'er is not heavy."
After everyone had rested enough, the team got ready to set off again.
It was a rare occasion for the young ladies and ladies from the aristocratic families to come out. Looking at the surrounding scenery, they all had smiles on their faces, forgetting the bumpy journey.
Compared to everyone's excitement, Yu Yiluo fell asleep again after eating.
…
When I woke up again, I had arrived at the palace. The setting sun dyed half the sky red.
The second prince, the third prince, and Emperor Luo Jixian arrived at the palace and made preparations.
Upon hearing that the emperor and his entourage had arrived, they hurried out to greet them.
"Everyone, get up."
Several people stood up, and the second prince and the third prince subconsciously looked among the female relatives, looking for the person they were thinking of.
[Second and third brothers, can you two restrain yourself a little?]
The two of them touched their noses uncomfortably, smiled at Du Shuyan and Mu Xue respectively, and then entered the house with the emperor.
Shu Fei arranged accommodation for the ministers' families, and then personally took Shu Fei to the house where she lived.
"My Lady, you will stay here tonight. There will be a singing and dancing performance later. I will send someone to pick you up then."
After almost a day's journey, Concubine Shu was really tired. She sat down on the couch with a smile.
"I'm tired. I won't watch the singing and dancing anymore."
The message had been delivered, and Concubine Shu said no more and took Tao Ye back to her residence.
The emperor only brought her, Concubine De and Concubine Xian with him on this trip, so the three of them naturally lived in the same room.
I originally planned to request a grand ceremony for Concubine Rou, but Concubine Rou was unwilling to come.
As soon as Concubine Shu entered the room, she walked over to Concubine Xian and sat down, then took out a rattle she had made to play with Yu Yiluo.
"Sister Defei, does the Second Prince have a favorite woman?"
Thinking of the smiling look in the Second Prince's eyes just now, Concubine Shu asked curiously.
"The woman you like?"
Concubine De looked puzzled, then excitedly put down the tea in her hand.
"Sister Shufei, are you sure you're not seeing things? Tell me which family this young lady is from, so I can take a closer look later."
This brat actually hid it from her, no wonder he didn't want Xue'er.
She wanted to see which girl this brat was deceiving.
[Aunt Shufei has a really sharp eye. My second brother has kept this secret from Aunt Defei for so long, but I guess he can't keep it a secret anymore.]
Concubine Shu didn't know Du Shuyan, so she shook her head and said, "Since she's standing with the princess and Miss Qin, she must be from a high-class family."
"What does he look like?"
The two were talking excitedly when they heard footsteps and soon saw Eunuch Cao appear at the door.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the singing and dancing is about to begin. The Emperor has asked me to invite you over."
