On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Jiang Yuzhu had already made preparations and prepared the necessary medicines and clothes for the trip.
For dinner, because she was leaving Beijing, she cooked a large table of dishes herself.
After Xie Zhao left the yamen, he remained calm and took his two children to have dinner.
After eating and drinking their fill, Xie Zhao discussed with Fugui and Wanwan in a friendly manner, "There's a new elementary school opened in the palace recently. How about Daddy send you there?"
The Master is a young Hanlin, smart and lively, and is definitely not an old man like Zhang Hanlin who only knows how to talk nonsense.
"Daddy will send you to your grandparents' house first. Jinbao and Yinbao are missing you."
Xie Zhao thought it would take a lot of talking and was ready to agree to several conditions to lure them in. However, without any further words, the two little kids agreed readily.
After Fugui and Wanwan were sent to the Jiang family, Xie Zhao came out of the room and put the package on the table outside.
Jiang Yuzhu's eyelids twitched, and she pretended to be puzzled and said, "Yuanhe, what are you doing..."
She was about to speak, so she organized her words and said, "I plan to go to the northwest with my brother, sister-in-law, Zhilan and others tomorrow."
Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to hide it. Steward Xie in the mansion was Xie Zhao's spy, and he must have told her long ago.
During this period, Xie Zhao was busy with official duties and did not show any response. Jiang Yuzhu guessed that he agreed.
"Take your husband with you."
Xie Zhao leaned closer and teased, "Otherwise, I would be worried. Besides, everyone else is in pairs, so how can Yuzhu be alone?"
Jiang Yuzhu asked doubtfully, "Are you serious?"
Can the current prime minister leave the capital at will?
Jiang Yuzhu was certain of this, so she wanted to go out and relax.
After a few years of living together, she was a little bored.
Go out for a while, meet different people, and change your taste. Does Xie Zhao still want to go with you?
"Yuanhe, I'll be back soon. You should stay in the capital to help the emperor deal with trivial matters and seek benefits for the people."
Jiang Yuzhu showed a trace of worry. "Although I hope you and I can be together as husband and wife, the affairs of the court are more important than love, so..."
So she took a step back and went out to have fun!
No husband, no kids, only family members, the main point is to be unrestrained!
Jiang Yuzhu could no longer hide the smile in her eyes. Like a bird about to escape from a cage, she quickly lowered her head and sighed softly.
"Yuzhu, your husband wants to benefit the people, so he will go to the northwest to survey the defenses on behalf of the emperor."
This time, Xie Zhao went to the northwest as the Minister of Works with important tasks to attend to.
The emperor has issued an imperial decree, and you can leave Beijing in the next two days.
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
Your Majesty, it’s Your Majesty again!
Every time Jiang Yuzhu gets into bad luck, it's always because of this guy. He's just jealous of others getting along well!
When Xie Zhao went to handle a case, the emperor asked him to take her with him. When Xie Zhao went to the north, the emperor issued another decree, asking Jiang Yuzhu to accompany him.
This time, she finally changed her tactics and sent Xie Zhao to the northwest. Is this going against her?
"Your Majesty has good intentions."
Xie Zhao clasped his hands together and saluted in the direction of the imperial palace.
Xiao She said that he originally wanted to send an official to the northwest, but when he heard that Jiang Yuzhu was going to the northwest, it was a good opportunity to send Xie Zhao there.
Xiao She had suffered enough from the pain of missing his wife. If there were no female relatives at the morning court, Xiao She would have wanted to tie Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu together to attend court.
"When do you leave?"
Jiang Yuzhu was about to burst out with bitterness. She didn't even take care of the twins, so how could she be willing to take care of Xie Zhao!
The current situation is different from a few years ago. All of Lu Yunxi's remaining followers have been wiped out, so there is no major danger.
"Come with my wife. I have already packed my bags."
Xie Zhao was very decisive. He could even set off overnight.
With all her escape routes blocked, Jiang Yuzhu became depressed.
If I had known that Xie Zhao was so scheming, he would have kept it a secret!
The route for this trip to the northwest had already been decided, so Jiang Yuzhu had no choice but to agree.
After dawn, she sent someone to inform the families traveling with her to meet at the dock.
The official ships were ready, one was used to transport carriages, horses and luggage, and the other was used as a passenger ship.
It was hot and humid on the boat.
Jiang Yuzhu brought a lot of chili peppers, seasonings, and fishing nets and rods, planning to catch fish in the river and make grilled fish and cold noodles as appetizers.
Since the ingredients couldn't be kept for a long time, she used ice cubes to preserve them.
After several maids tidied up the cabin, Jiang Yuzhu got together with her eldest and second sister-in-law Shen Zhilan.
"Yuzhu, why haven't I heard that Yuanhe is also going to the northwest?"
They met at the dock. Princess Yutan thought Xie Zhao was there to see her off, but she saw Xie Zhao calmly boarding the official ship with his bag rolled up.
"The emperor issued an imperial decree to send him to the northwest for an investigation."
Jiang Yuzhu's smile was unnatural. Could it be that she was the one who invited them?
She told the truth, but the others didn't quite believe it. They thought Xie Zhao was worried about Jiang Yuzhu going out, as it had left a shadow on him a few years ago, so he wanted to follow her.
"Yuzhu, you are very lucky. Yuanhe loves you deeply. You two really can't be separated."
Princess Yutan said enviously.
Jiang Yuzhu felt embarrassed and felt even more upset. What should she do?
Xie Zhao came along, and he could no longer look down on strong men or taste fine wine. His carefree days were over.
He spends a lot of time every day staring at Xie Zhao. If he doesn't get tired of her, then she will! Where's the novelty?
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuzhu suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness and fate.
I wanted to struggle, but I couldn't escape.
"Fortunately, Fugui and Wanwan are not here, so I can have a few days of peace and quiet."
As the official ship left the dock, Jiang Yuzhu's mood improved.
After walking for a few hours, Hong Jin exclaimed, "Madam, please come out and take a look!"
