Chapter 437: Going to the Palace Outside the City to Appreciate Flowers
In March, spring is warm and flowers are blooming.
Xiao Chengjin thought that he would have a day off tomorrow, so he planned to take Jiang Ruo to the palace outside the city to appreciate the flowers.
"Ruoruo, I have a day off tomorrow. Let's go out of the city and go to the palace to enjoy the flowers."
Jiang Ruo's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"OK!"
"How about this, let's call our relatives and friends and go out for an outing to enjoy the flowers together."
It’s more lively when there are more people.
Xiao Chengjin nodded slightly, "I'll let Ning Jinghuai notify the General's Mansion."
Jiang Ruo chuckled, "Okay, let's do it."
"It's getting late, you should hurry up and go to the morning court!"
After Xiao Chengjin finished his breakfast, he took Manager Lin to the morning court.
Jiang Ruo thought that she would go to the temporary palace tomorrow, so she sent the little phoenix to the father-in-law's residence and the imperial merchant's residence, and asked it to go to the temporary palace to notify the stewards there.
.......
The little phoenix flew to the father-in-law's house and directly stated his purpose.
"Dad, Aunt, my sister is going to the city to enjoy the flowers tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
Princess Anran, who is pregnant, has long wanted to go out for a walk.
Without waiting for Sheng Yunshao to answer, she spoke first, "Let's go enjoy the flowers."
I can finally go out and relax.
Sheng Yunshao looked at Princess Anran's pregnant belly and said in a negotiating tone, "Ruoxin, your due date will be in just over two months."
"Going to the palace... the road is bumpy..."
"How about this, let's go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers."
Princess Anran glared at Sheng Yunshao and said fiercely, "I'm tired of looking at the flowers in the Imperial Garden. I just want to go to the Palace to enjoy the flowers."
Sheng Yunshao thought about Jiang Ruo's space and quickly coaxed her, "Okay, let's go to the palace, let's go to the palace."
"Don't be angry!"
Seeing this, the little phoenix chuckled.
"Dad, Aunt, it's settled."
"I'll go to the Imperial Merchants Mansion to inform my uncle and his family."
"Okay, we will wait for you at the mansion tomorrow." Sheng Yunshao smiled.
The little phoenix spread its wings and flew to the Imperial Merchants Mansion.
Nangong Yi looked at the little phoenix that landed in the front yard and hurriedly stepped forward, "Xiaofeng, why are you here?"
The little phoenix flapped its wings and said, "Sister asked me to ask, do you want to go to the palace outside the city to appreciate the flowers tomorrow?"
Nangong Yi thought that his old man was not in a good mood, so he immediately made a decision, "Okay, let's go to appreciate the flowers tomorrow."
"My uncle has made arrangements in advance. We will set off early tomorrow morning."
"You don't need to bring food or drinks, your sister has already prepared them." Little Phoenix reminded.
Nangong Yi laughed, "Okay, thank you, Xiaofeng."
The little phoenix spread its wings and let out a few long cries, then flew towards the palace outside the city.
In the imperial study.
Xiao Chengjin looked at Ning Jinghuai, who was hesitant to speak, and raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Ning Jinghuai put down the memorial in his hand and said with red ears: "Your Majesty, I am going to be a father."
This is all thanks to the notebook you gave me.
Hearing this, Xiao Chengjin raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Congratulations."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ning Jinghuai couldn't stop smiling.
Xiao Chengjin complained in his heart: You should thank me... for giving you the notebook.
"I'm going to take the Queen to the palace to enjoy the flowers tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
"I want to go."
Xiao Chengjin nodded slightly, "After you return today, go to the General's Mansion to inform them."
"Meet at West Street at noon tomorrow morning."
"As you command."
When Ning Jinghuai heard that they were going out of town for a trip, he immediately became excited.
Haha, finish these official business as soon as possible and go home early.
.......
The next day.
Several carriages met at West Street and drove towards the city gate under the escort of two teams of Yu family soldiers.
Ning Jinghuai and Chu Haoxuan followed on both sides on horseback.
When the people saw this scene, they knew who was in the carriage.
A curious citizen stepped forward and asked, "Prince Ning, what are you doing...?"
Ning Jinghuai lowered his voice and responded, "The Emperor and the Empress went to the palace to enjoy the flowers and go for an outing, and we are accompanying them."
Wow, as soon as they walked out of the city gate, the people in the capital knew that the emperor was accompanying the queen out of the city to appreciate the flowers.
This made the noble ladies in the capital jealous and envious.
They secretly thought: They were waiting for the Queen to fall out of favor so that they would have the opportunity to enter the palace as concubines.
This is great, the emperor dotes on me to no end...
Of course, some noble ladies who have become more open-minded have given up the idea of entering the palace to become concubines.
The group drove towards the palace in a mighty procession.
A palace outside the city.
Early in the morning, Manager He, who was in charge of the palace, called on the palace servants to prepare to welcome Xiao Chengjin and others.
Alas, this is the new emperor’s first visit, so please don’t let anything go wrong.
With nothing to do, Manager He started to beat the palace maids.
"Listen up, everyone. Work harder and talk less."
"You have to be careful and cautious when doing things, understand?"
"Your servants understand." The palace servants responded quickly.
Steward He looked at the pretty maids and said coldly, "Especially you guys, don't have any inappropriate thoughts."
"If you get into trouble, I can't save you."
Several maids who were named were shocked when they heard this, "We obey your command."
Last night they were saying that it would be great if they could win the Emperor's favor...
Alas, saving your life is the most important thing.
A crowd of people stood outside the palace, waiting eagerly.
......
Xiao Chengjin rolled up the curtains so that Jiang Ruo could enjoy the scenery along the way.
Jiang Ruo looked at the people working in the fields, a smile appearing on the corner of his lips.
A year's plan begins in spring, and spring plowing is the right time.
Thinking about the high-quality seeds that had been shipped to several neighboring states some time ago, she asked worriedly, "Do you think those high-quality seeds will reach the hands of the people?"
"Don't worry, Ruoruo. Our people are keeping an eye on them. No one dares to touch those fine seeds."
Xiao Chengjin looked at Jiang Ruo's slightly bulging belly and raised his hand to cover it.
At this moment, there was a sudden fetal movement in the abdomen...
Xiao Chengjin felt the fetal movement and was suddenly at a loss.
"Ruoruo, what just happened...?"
Jiang Ruo looked at the silly Xiao Chengjin and raised her hand to pinch his cheek. "Don't be nervous, this is fetal movement. Our baby loves you very much!"
Xiao Chengjin was delighted, pushed the little phoenix aside, squatted down and moved closer.
"Baby, I am your father."
"You must remember, I am your father!" Xiao Chengjin's voice was very gentle.
Little Phoenix stretched his head over and said, imitating Xiao Chengjin's tone: "Baby, I'm your uncle!"
"The only uncle in the world."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin looked at each other and smiled.
Haha, you are indeed unique.
Ning Jinghuai and Chu Haoxuan, who were following behind, rode side by side.
Ning Jinghuai said with a boastful look on his face, "Brother-in-law, I have some great news to tell you. You're going to be an uncle."
Upon hearing this, Chu Haoxuan quickly congratulated him, "Congratulations, brother-in-law."
Ning Jinghuai chuckled, "You have to work harder too!"
Chu Haoxuan: “…”
You don't need to tell me this.
The scenery along the way was beautiful and everyone was in a very good mood.
Near noon, the group arrived at the palace...
