Chapter 1951 Farewell
The fifth prince was going to take his new princess to the fiefdom. Changyu and Mingda had a good relationship with this brother who was of similar age, so they decided to go and see him off in person.
The queen did not stop them, but asked Yang Guifei to accompany them to send the people out of the city gate.
Another younger brother was sent away to become a fief, and the crown prince also went to see him off.
In addition, the Fifth Prince also sent invitations to his friends who he thought he could get along well with. Those who are interested can go to the city gate to see him off. It is not certain when they will see each other again.
Although he seemed to be able to come back during festivals and the Empress Dowager's special days, he could not leave his fiefdom without the Emperor's permission after submitting a letter.
The fifth prince was standing on the official road beside the city gate. Today, because he was leaving the city and the prince came to see him off, the imperial guards directly intercepted people entering and leaving the city gate and blocked the road so that they could say goodbye without worry.
He drank the glass of wine offered by the prince, looked up at the city gate, and felt a little uncomfortable.
This is where he has lived since he was born, and now he has to leave to live in another completely unfamiliar place.
The fifth prince's eyes were slightly red, and he felt a little uncomfortable and aggrieved.
He turned his head away, not wanting the prince to see, and it turned out that the people standing here were Bai Shan, Bai Erlang and Zhou Man.
The three of them met his red eyes, and Bai Shan remembered when they left Qili Village...
He thought about it and it seemed that there was nothing particularly sad, so he held back the sigh he was about to let out. Bai Shan said, "We have prepared some gifts for you and have given them to the people around you. I wish you a safe journey."
Manbao said, "There's a package on the top. You can take out the things inside. It's for your use on the road."
The Fifth Prince's mood improved a little and he asked, "What is it?"
"Anti-mosquito and insect repellent bags are essential for home and travel," Manbao said. "If you feel they're not working well enough, just open a bag and throw it into the fire when you can't find a place to stay at night. The insects will be smoked away."
At this time, the Fifth Prince did not know how rampant the insects in the wild were, so he could not feel Zhou Man's thoughtfulness, but he still nodded in thanks.
Bai Shan said: "We also prepared some incense for you to fumigate the house. The new house is damp, so it's good to fumigate it."
Bai Jilang: "We also prepared some toys for you. If you get bored on the way, you can play with your princess."
The fifth prince tried to hold back, but couldn't help saying, "I'm not a child anymore. I don't need toys, right?"
The three of them nodded in unison: "Yes, yes."
Bai Shan said: "Don't be so polite, my husband still plays at such an old age."
The fifth prince couldn't help but become curious, "What toy?"
"You'll know when you open it."
The fifth prince smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take it apart later."
Seeing that the three people didn't look sad, he sighed and said, "After this separation, I don't know when we'll meet again. I didn't know before, but I vaguely heard some words in the past six months and now I know. Thank you very much for what you did last year."
Bai Shan and the others were slightly stunned and couldn't help but frown, "Who told you that?"
Not many people knew that they sided with Yang Heshu and ignored the Fifth Prince in Xu Yu's matter.
The fifth prince said with a distant gaze, "My mother told me that my mother is simple-minded and doesn't think much. There are some things that she shouldn't tell my mother to avoid making her sad."
Bai Shan and the other two felt a little uneasy. How could the Queen know everything?
"That's why I wrote this post for you guys, and you guys actually came. It's worth it that I consider you my friends."
Three people: ...After all, we received the invitation. It would be so rude not to come and say goodbye.
Not to mention their past friendship with the Fifth Prince, just considering his status as the older brother that Mingda and Princess Changyu wanted, they couldn't do that.
Seeing the three people being choked by him, the fifth prince burst into laughter. After a while, he asked, "I'm leaving soon. Don't you want to show some farewell expressions?"
Manbao said, "It's not like you won't come back."
"That's right," Bai Erlang coughed, "Well, you have to come back eventually, right? There are also festivals."
"How many princes can return to the capital during festivals?" The Fifth Prince said with a wry smile, "Don't think we can do the same just because Third Brother is always running to the capital. Without the consent of Father and the court, we cannot leave our fiefdoms without permission."
"We might not even be able to come back for Father and Mother's birthday celebrations," the Fifth Prince said sadly, "so we may not see each other again in the future."
"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to see each other," Manbao was still confident, "If you can't come to see us, we can come to see you."
Bai Shan pondered, "Going to your fiefdom to play is not bad at all. After all, you are the second in command there. You can eat well, live well, and definitely have fun too."
The fifth prince asked, "I am the second in command, who is the first in command?"
The three of them looked at him, and the Fifth Prince came back to his senses, "Oh, yes, the eldest is our father."
All the emotions accumulated in his heart were completely dissipated through this random chat.
He shook his head and smiled, then greeted the three of them before turning to meet his other friends and siblings.
When he finally and reluctantly mounted his horse, the sun was already halfway up in the sky. Manbao felt a bit sunburned and put his palm on his forehead and said, "It took more than an hour to say goodbye."
This was also the longest farewell Bai Shan had ever witnessed. He opened the folding fan in his hand and held it above Manbao's head, sighing, "Actually, what the Fifth Prince said is true. After this trip, I may not be able to return to the capital. But this is not the most painful thing. The most painful thing is that I cannot leave my fiefdom without an imperial decree. Otherwise, besides the capital, the sky is wide and the sea is vast, and it would be nice to travel around."
Manbao then remembered, "Well, this rule sounds quite pitiful." After all, you have to stay in one place for your whole life.
Bai Erlang asked smoothly, "Do you want to open their eyes for them?"
Manbao and Baishan glanced at him without any emotion.
Bai Jilang asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Man Bao said: "There is a price to pay, and there is a reward. He got such a large piece of land, and his descendants will enjoy the support of the people. This is the price he needs to pay."
Bai Shan nodded and said, "Cancel it. This prince will go to visit that prince tomorrow, and stay with another prince the day after tomorrow. What if they start to collude?"
If there is rebellion, who will be held responsible for the crime?
Manbao must be mentally retarded to comment on this matter.
"What collusion?" Princess Mingda, who was standing at the front to send her fifth brother off, came forward with her skirt lifted up and only heard the last sentence.
Manbao and the other two immediately shook their heads and said, "Nothing."
Bai Erlang looked Mingda up and down and said, "Princess Mingda, you've really gotten much better. Look, your complexion has become much rosier. Even redder."
Bai Shan and Man Bao: ...
It’s too late tonight, I probably can’t write an extra chapter, I’ll add it tomorrow. I really want to give you all a crying and laughing expression, today was really terrible.
I modified the previous chapter a little bit, not much, just a few sentences, you can go back and take a look
Okay, good night.
