He longed to experience the ordinariness and beauty of life like an ordinary person, and to see the magnificent scenery of this great land.
After struggling and agonizing over it for a long time, he finally decided to pretend he didn't know anything.
He pretended not to hear Qin Qianluo's thoughts, buried this struggle deep in his heart, and bore it alone.
In fact, Ning Chenyi has been having the Crown Prince review memorials frequently lately, and he even goes so far as to claim that it is to train the Crown Prince.
After all, he, as the emperor, had been diligently governing the country for many years.
In order to find various excuses, or rather, to find certain key figures who had inadvertently ended up in other countries and whose fate and peace were at stake.
They racked their brains and put in a lot of effort to come up with all sorts of seemingly reasonable reasons.
Now that the Crown Prince has grown up and has the ability and responsibility, it is time for him to share some of the heavy burden on his hardworking father, the Emperor.
Ning Chenyi watched the Crown Prince diligently reviewing memorials in his study, feeling both gratified by the Crown Prince's growth.
It was as if I saw a reflection of my younger self, full of vigor and hope.
There was also a glimmer of anticipation for the burden that was about to be lifted, like a traveler who had been wandering in the darkness for a long time finally seeing a ray of dawn.
The crown prince's growth signifies the future stability and prosperity of the country, and at the appropriate time, one can lay down one's responsibilities and pursue one's own life.
Empress Xiao Wanxi was meticulous and insightful.
Seeing the Emperor's appearance, she secretly found it amusing, but because of her understanding and love for him, she was too lazy to expose his little schemes.
She was indeed quite shocked at first after learning what the Emperor was thinking.
After all, in the depths of the palace, power and responsibility often lead people astray, plunging them into endless power struggles.
But more than anything, she was deeply moved by the Emperor's sentiment, her heart overflowing with sweetness, as if honey were flowing through her.
She knew that everything the Emperor did was out of deep affection and care for her and the other women in the harem.
The thought that just one year from now, everyone would be able to leave this seemingly magnificent yet restrictive palace, leave the capital, and go to appreciate the beautiful landscapes of the world.
As she experienced that unbridled freedom, her heart pounded like a joyful deer in her chest, filled with anticipation for the future.
This expectation, like a new bud breaking through the soil in spring, is growing vigorously in her heart, becoming stronger every minute and every second.
She often strolled in the palace gardens, and images of her outings with the emperor would float into her mind.
Dressed in casual clothes, they walked through unfamiliar streets and alleys, tasting local delicacies and admiring different scenery.
Without the constraints of court rules or the obeisance of courtiers, they simply accompanied each other, enjoying a simple and pure happiness.
Since the Crown Prince was able to oversee the country and govern, the Emperor seemed to have found an outlet to release his stress, and he often took them on incognito trips.
Despite the constraints of court rules, national stability, and numerous other complex factors, they could not travel too far.
But each short trip was like a precious splash of color in their lives, adding endless fun to their mundane yet busy court life.
Every time she stepped out of the palace, breathing in the free air outside and seeing the lively atmosphere of the city, she seemed to rediscover the carefree joy of her youth.
Those ordinary yet real scenes, those unfamiliar yet kind faces, all made her feel the unique beauty of life.
The cries of vendors in the streets and alleys, the laughter of children, and the bickering between couples are all like beautiful musical notes, weaving together a symphony of life.
This gave her more sweet and beautiful memories during her time in the deep palace.
She cherishes every opportunity to travel, as if these moments are precious gifts that life has given her.
It allowed her to find her own corner of happiness amidst the splendor and loneliness of the palace.
In the year before Qin Qianluo was full of anticipation and looking forward to retiring and returning to her hometown, that person, who usually acted in a free and unrestrained manner, was already showing signs of life.
Like an elusive wind, the emperor, who often does unexpected things, has once again come up with a sudden whimsical idea.
He enthusiastically decided to bring his empress, along with several favored concubines from the harem who had very close ties to the royal family.
A large group of princes and princesses, some innocent and lively, still showing signs of immaturity, others composed and reserved, beginning to develop their shrewdness, embarked on their incognito journey.
