Gu Huanhuan asked.
Gu Lili nodded and said, "Of course I'll take you."
Previously, when Gu Lili returned from Jiangdu, she decided that the next time she left the hospital, she would bring Gu Huanhuan with her.
Gu Huanhuan jumped up happily.
Gu Yun Chu and Gu Yan Yu looked at Gu Huan Huan with envy.
"Yun Chu, Yan Yu, one of you has to manage the family affairs and the other has to study. I'm going to the capital, and I'm afraid it will be several months, and I might not even be able to come back to spend the New Year with you. So I can't take you with me. I'll take you out when there's a chance in the future, okay?"
Gu Lili couldn't bear to look at the two of them.
Li Ershu and Li Tiansheng had just gotten married and were in the midst of their blissful marriage, so Gu Lili naturally didn't want to trouble them too much.
Therefore, all matters at home need to be entrusted to Gu Yun Chu.
When Gu Yanyu was to take the county examination in the spring, Gu Lili was worried that he would not be able to return in time, which would delay Gu Yanyu's studies.
“Sister, we know. We will take good care of the house, so you can go without worry,” the two said in unison.
Gu Lili nodded and went to pack her things.
Since it is a matter of national importance, it cannot be delayed.
After discussing it, Wei Yin and the others decided that Wei Yin and Wei Yue would escort Gu Lili to the capital.
The others stayed at the Gu family home to help Gu Yun Chu.
After packing her things, Gu Lili handed over the necessary instructions to Gu Yun Chu and set off without even having time to say goodbye to Grandma Li and the others.
Because she was in a hurry, Gu Lili traveled by water this time.
You need to take a boat from Jiangbei Prefecture and head north to Shangjing.
Gu Lili and the others were escorted to Jiangbei Prefecture by the family's secret guards.
Upon arriving in Jiangbei Prefecture, they boarded a boat and headed north.
Gu Lili was initially worried that Gu Huanhuan would get seasick.
To Gu Lili's surprise, even though she herself vomited several times, Gu Huanhuan was perfectly fine.
Instead, she chattered away the whole way, pointing at the receding scenery and talking non-stop to Gu Lili.
Although the entire journey was filled with a silver-clad landscape and little could be seen clearly, it did not affect Gu Huanhuan's mood at all.
Seeing Gu Huanhuan become such a chatterbox, Gu Lili felt that taking Gu Huanhuan out was definitely worthwhile.
After nearly ten days of bumpy travel, Gu Lili and the others finally arrived in the capital.
However, this ferry crossing is located on the outskirts of Shangjing, and one still needs to take a horse-drawn carriage to get there.
As soon as Gu Lili and the others disembarked, a carriage was already waiting at the ferry dock.
Gu Lili glanced at the Wei brothers and guessed that they must have informed Yin Jiuchen, which was why Yin Jiuchen knew they had arrived in the capital.
They specially sent someone to pick them up.
As for Yin Jiuchen, he was extremely busy and naturally had no time to take care of Gu Lili and the others.
"This servant greets the Princess." Four maids, two old women, four guards, and a groom stepped forward and bowed to Gu Lili.
Gu Lili nodded and gently raised her hand, waiving the formalities from the others.
"Get up."
After thanking Gu Lili, the group stood up.
"Princess, let us take you back to your residence to rest, and wait for the Emperor to summon you to an audience tomorrow," the leading maid said, bowing.
Gu Lili nodded, then pulled Gu Huanhuan along, with Wei Yin following behind, and were led by a maid to a luxurious carriage.
Wei Yin did not get into the carriage, but instead rode the horse that had been prepared in advance.
This carriage is truly luxurious.
Gu Lili noticed with her sharp eyes that there were lanterns hanging at the front and back of the carriage, all with the character 'Gu' on them.
As soon as the carriage curtain was lifted, a fragrant scent of plum blossoms wafted over.
A charcoal stove was already lit inside, and in addition to the aroma, there was also a warm feeling wafting over.
It was covered with silvery-white fur. The system had already informed Gu Lili of the price and type of fur the moment she glanced at it.
This is silver fox fur. Actually, fox fur is quite common in modern times.
Gu Lili was aware of this; modern businessmen raise foxes to make money, using their fur to make fur coats.
However, no one kept them in ancient times.
This blanket is so big; I wonder how many silver fox pelts it must have been sewn together.
The most difficult part is that there isn't a single stray hair, and the hair length is all the same.
Therefore, Gu Lili remained relatively calm when she heard the price.
A blanket is worth eight thousand taels of silver.
The carriage was also more than twice as wide as the one Gu Lili used at home.
Fresh fruits and pastries were laid out on the rosewood table above. The pastries were exquisitely made, and Gu Lili could tell at a glance that they must have come from the imperial court.
Gu Lili pulled Gu Huanhuan to sit on the soft cushions that had already been placed next to the small table, and smelled the red plum blossoms in the white jade vase.
He couldn't help but admire how thoughtful Yin Jiuchen was.
"Sister, look!" Gu Huanhuan exclaimed excitedly, lifting the carriage curtain and pointing outside.
Gu Lili then looked in the direction Gu Huanhuan pointed.
It turned out to be Xuehu, who was standing proudly on Wei Yin's shoulder.
Gu Lili couldn't help but chuckle. This guy was quite lazy; he even knew how to take a break.
After the carriage curtain was lifted for a moment, a blast of cold air rushed in from outside, and Gu Huanhuan quickly lowered the curtain.
"Sister, this carriage is so beautiful and smells so good!" Gu Huanhuan exclaimed.
Her small eyes were fixed on the snacks on the table, and she unconsciously swallowed.
Gu Lili smiled and handed a phoenix tail pastry to Gu Huanhuan, saying, "Eat some quickly. It will probably take us a while to get to the capital. After you finish eating, lie down and rest for a while."
This place is on the outskirts of Beijing, and with the snow making the roads difficult to travel, it will definitely take some time.
Gu Huanhuan smiled as she accepted the phoenix tail pastry, took a small bite, and her little eyes instantly sparkled.
Gu Lili could tell from the appearance that the phoenix tail pastry must taste pretty good.
During the few days on the boat, Gu Lili hadn't been able to eat properly because the boat was rocking so badly.
Now that they were on land, after resting for a while, Gu Lili also felt a little hungry, so she and Gu Huanhuan ate together.
"Sister, can I give this to Brother Wei Yin?" Gu Huanhuan asked, pointing to another untouched plate of osmanthus cakes.
Gu Lili nodded, and Gu Huanhuan happily picked up the osmanthus cake, lifted the carriage curtain, and handed it out.
"Brother Wei Yin, eat something quickly, you must be hungry too," Gu Huanhuan said to Wei Yin, who was riding a horse.
Wei Yin was also a little hungry, so he took the osmanthus cake in a flash, with one foot on the saddle.
Gu Huanhuan was stunned.
"Wow, Brother Wei Yin, you're amazing!" Gu Huanhuan exclaimed.
Wei Yin loosened the reins, letting the horse walk on its own while he ate.
Hearing Gu Huanhuan's praise, he blushed and scratched his head shyly.
"What's this! His Highness the Crown Prince is far more impressive!" Wei Yin laughed.
