Chapter 23 Leaving the Palace



Ever since Concubine Shu was put under house arrest, Concubine Wan felt that her ears were much quieter.

In the morning, after Emperor Hui left court, he went straight to Jinxiu Palace.

Wan Fei was preparing to have breakfast when she saw Emperor Hui coming. She ordered the imperial kitchen to add a few more dishes.

"Why did the emperor come so early?" The late concubine smiled faintly.

Recently, Emperor Hui often came to Jinxiu Palace and had frequent contact with the late concubine, and their feelings for each other deepened.

Seeing Emperor Hui coming, she directly asked about her doubts.

Emperor Hui picked up a piece of meat and put it into Concubine Wan's bowl.

"My dear, let's eat first."

Wan Fei was a little flattered. Looking at the meat in the bowl, she was filled with emotion.

Emperor Hui was once a careful person, but since he became busier and busier, we had fewer and fewer opportunities to meet him and showed less concern for him.

Now, he often comes to Jinxiu Palace and occasionally dine with her.

She felt warmth from him.

[Wow, Daddy finally took the initiative, good job, I give you a thumbs up]

[A good husband should be like this, take the initiative to care about his wife]

When Emperor Hui heard Mu Nanyan's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

He has been very nice to Concubine Wan and has been coming to her place recently.

He was too busy before and couldn't see her, which was not what he wanted.

Wan Fei was shocked and almost covered Mu Nanyan's mouth.

Suddenly, he remembered that he was the only one who could hear Yan'er's thoughts, and he stopped talking abruptly.

Fortunately, the emperor did not hear Yan'er's rebellious words.

After breakfast, the concubine went to pay her respects to the empress dowager.

Emperor Hui was going to the Imperial Study to review memorials. He wanted to take Mu Nanyan with him to develop a good relationship with his daughter.

By the way, listen to her complaints.

Emperor Hui still held Mu Nanyan in his arms while reading memorials. Mu Nanyan occasionally glanced at them. The densely written words on the memorials made her want to sleep.

[I really admire Daddy, you read so many memorials and you don’t even get tired of it]

[If it were me, I would have fallen asleep while watching this.]

Emperor Hui curled his lips and smiled, then touched Mu Nanyan's fluffy little head.

Now, it’s time for election again, and he ordered the Minister of Rites to arrange the final palace examination.

What he had just looked at was the list submitted by the ministers. The people on the list had just taken part in the imperial examination this spring.

He didn't want anything unexpected to happen during the palace examination.

After all, he had long wanted to replace a group of people, and now was a good time to screen talents.

Emperor Hui looked at the list and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say what.

He looked a little worried, which made Mu Nanyan worried about him.

[Daddy, why do you look so miserable? Did something happen to you?]

[You work so hard on government affairs every day, you don’t have much time to rest]

[If you want to live a good life, you must know how to balance work and rest]

Seeing his daughter worrying about him, Emperor Hui felt comforted.

Daughters are the best. They are really daddy’s sweet and caring little cotton-padded jackets.

But you can't solve daddy's troubles.

[Daddy, look how tired you are. Your handsome face is almost wrinkled.]

[Why not go out of the palace and see the people’s sentiments]

【Maybe things will turn around】

Emperor Hui secretly touched his face.

Could it be that he has been overworked recently and his face has aged a lot?

Will there be a turning point? He didn't know why, but he felt a little annoyed after reading the memorials today.

It would be better to do as Yan'er said and go for a walk outside the palace. Maybe you will gain something.

He called his eunuch and told him to arrange to leave the palace.

"Xiao Linzi, I have to leave the palace for a while. I must leave in a low profile. There is no need to make such a big scene."

"I obey your command." Xiao Linzi quickly arranged the matter.

[That’s great, Daddy, you are my God]

Yeah, finally I have a chance to leave the palace.

Yan'er, I've laid so much groundwork just now, I guess it's because you want to go out and play.

Daughters are always warm and caring.

It seems that his Yan'er is his leaky little cotton-padded jacket.

Because she praised him, he took her out of the palace.

Half an hour later, a carriage appeared quietly on the streets of Kyoto.

Kyoto is worthy of being the most prosperous place in Nanzhao Kingdom. The streets are bustling with people and the sounds of hawking are endless.

Before leaving the palace, Emperor Hui disguised himself and dressed a little more simply.

If you don't meet someone familiar, it would be difficult to connect him with the emperor in the palace.

He sat in the carriage, lifted the window curtain and looked at the scene outside.

The beauties on the street exuded an alluring fragrance that made Mu Nanyan drool.

[Ahhh, I really want to eat the fragrant chicken legs and the tempting date cakes]

[Daddy, I really want to get off the car and take a look. Even if I can’t eat it, I’ll be satisfied just by smelling it.]

What a greedy little cat.

When Emperor Hui heard her talking about those delicious foods and her greedy look, he couldn't help but laugh at her.

"Stop the car." Emperor Hui's voice came from the car.

The coachman was a palace guard who was responsible for driving the car.

There were also some secret guards hiding in the dark, following all the way to protect Emperor Hui's safety.

After the car stopped, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

I saw a tall and handsome man slowly walking out of the car.

He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an innate nobility. As soon as he appeared, people couldn't help but admire him.

He was holding a baby in his arms, but even so, he still attracted the attention of many young girls.

After Emperor Hui bought some food that Mu Nanyan wanted to eat, he planned to go to a restaurant to rest.

After all, Yan'er needs a good rest, the street is too noisy.

It has to be said that Emperor Hui dotes on Mu Nanyan.
