Chapter 302: The Envoy's Visit
The envoys from the Southern Kingdom arrived outside the gates of the capital.
The Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, dressed in a vermilion official robe, stood at the city gate.
"Sir, the delegation from the Southern Kingdom has arrived."
Lord Ji, the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, stepped forward quickly and put on an official smile.
"Welcome to the Southern Kingdom delegation."
The Southern Kingdom's team stopped at the city gate, with a red-painted carriage in the middle of the team.
A slender fingertip lifted up the curtain hung with pearls and jade, revealing half of a delicate profile.
In the dim light, the almond-shaped eyes swept across the official robes of the Junior Official of the Honglu Temple. After confirming the identity of Lord Ji, they lowered the curtain and said, "Thank you."
Lord Ji stood up and said, "Your Highness Prince Yu, please come in."
The envoys from the Southern Kingdom were first taken to the imperial palace. After coming out of the palace, they were sent to the temporary palace to stay.
"Prince Yu, Princess Zhaoyu, please rest in the palace for a while. If you need anything, just let me know."
Prince Yu nodded kindly, "Thank you very much."
"I will not disturb you two from resting. Goodbye."
Lord Ji bowed and retreated.
As soon as the palace door closed, the smile on Prince Yu's face gradually faded.
…
The next day, the Su family brought over the account books that Mother Zhao had asked for. As they were accounts for a whole year and there were so many accounts in the shop, the boxes almost took up half of the room.
Su Ying felt a headache when looking at these account books, but Lin Zhuyu was happy and asked the guards to move all the account books to her room.
"Princess, give me some time. I promise I can finish reading it in a few days."
"If you have any questions after reading this, just tell me."
"Yes, I will go right away."
After the two little kids came back from morning exercise, they ran into the house and pulled Su Ying up.
"Mother, mother, would you like to fly a kite with us?"
Su Ying saw that it was a sunny day today, and thought that the two little ones had not been able to go out these days since they returned to Beijing. She might as well take them out to play while the weather was good today.
"Okay, today I'll take you outside the city to fly kites."
When the two little kids heard this, they jumped for joy.
"Okay, okay, let's go out and fly a kite. Let's go fly a kite."
"Ling'er, go prepare it right away." Erbao put the kite in her hand and turned around and ran away.
Su Ying didn't know what she was going to prepare.
Soon, Erbao came back carrying a small bag.
"Mother, we can go now."
Su Ying looked at her heavy bag and couldn't help but be curious, "What's in Ling'er's bag?"
Erbao patted his small bag proudly, showing a row of small teeth, "They are all delicious!"
Well……
Su Ying pinched Erbao's increasingly chubby face, "Little glutton."
"Well, I'll give half of the snack to Auntie then."
“You can have this.”
Su Ying asked Bai Shuang and the others to pack up their things, prepare the carriage, and leave the city while it was still light.
"Where is the princess planning to take the young master and his family to play?" Mother Zhao heard the noise and came out from the compartment.
"Let's go outside the city. Didn't Mother Zhao say there's a meadow outside the city that's the best place to fly kites?"
"Then the princess must be careful."
"I understand, Mother Zhao."
After packing up everything, Su Ying took the two babies out of the house.
The children were having fun, and after leaving the palace, the two little ones looked around excitedly in the carriage, as if they had never been there before.
"Mother, there are so many people in the capital."
"And there are meat buns. Such big meat buns, mom."
Su Ying looked at the two chattering treasures, answering their questions from time to time, and in a blink of an eye the carriage left the city gate.
When Su Ying returned to Beijing, she noticed that there was a large green meadow outside the city.
The weather was good today. As soon as they arrived outside the green space, they saw a lot of carriages parked around. It seemed that quite a few people came out to play today.
After the coachman found an open space to stop the carriage, Su Ying jumped off the carriage first and carried both babies down.
"Mother, look up in the sky. There are so many kites."
Su Ying looked up and saw that indeed, many kites were flying very high.
She took the two children to a place with fewer people, and then put the two kites in their hands.
"Hold it. My mother will be running ahead of us soon. You must follow closely."
Bai Shuang had taught her how to play with this thing when they were in Tiankui City. She still remembered that the first time she played with it, the wind was very strong and it directly broke the string of her kite.
"I know, mother. Ji'er can run very fast now."
Su Ying held up the kite, tried the wind direction, then chose a direction and started running.
She adjusted her running speed according to Dabao's speed and it was impossible for her to let Dabao chase her.
"Okay, Ji'er, let go of your hand now."
Dabao obediently let go of his hands, and after a struggle, the kite gradually flew into the sky.
"Wow, my brother's kite is flying! It's flying!" Erbao shouted excitedly, "Mom, Mom, I want one too."
After Su Ying stabilized the kite, she handed the string to Dabao, "Ji'er, hold it steady, don't let it fall."
"I understand, mother."
Su Ying turned around and walked to Erbao, taking the line from her hand, "Be careful not to fall when you run later, okay?"
“I know!”
Su Ying pulled the string, "Here it comes, run."
Erbao ran forward with all his might, holding the kite in his hand.
The wind is particularly good today, neither too strong nor too weak, very suitable for flying kites.
Soon, Erbao's kite was also released into the sky.
Su Ying collected the thread and handed it to Erbao, "Here, have fun with your brother, and mom will sit beside you."
"Okay."
After flying the kites for the two treasures, Su Ying walked over and sat down.
Bai Shuang had already spread a mat on the grass and taken out snacks and fruits.
"Princess, if you are tired, take a rest first."
Su Ying took an apple, took a bite, then fell down on the grass, her nose filled with the scent of grass mixed with dew.
She looked at the two kites in the sky and relaxed both physically and mentally.
In order to control the kite in their hands, the two little guys kept retreating, but Su Ying was not worried because there were guards following her all the way.
"Oh brother, I can't hold on any longer. My kite is going to fly away."
The higher the kite flew, the stronger the wind became, almost pulling Erbao off the ground.
The guards nearby saw that something was not right and quickly stepped forward to take the string from Erbao's hand. "Little Princess, the higher the kite goes, the stronger the wind will be. Now the wind is too strong and you can't catch it. Let a few of our subordinates do it."
Erbao felt reluctant to let the kite go after finally seeing it fly so high.
"I'll give it to you after the guard uncle hangs up the phone." Dabao said.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to go eat something delicious then."
Erbao ran towards Su Ying's direction, but suddenly stopped halfway.
