Chapter 769 I hope this baby is a prince
On this day, some important things in Prince Yan's mansion had been packed up, and after they had packed up their own valuables, they set off.
Outside the gate, there was a majestic team.
Colorful flags are fluttering and the traffic is noisy.
It's rare for Zhu Feng to travel in such a grand manner.
Because the queen was not there, the imperial concubine naturally rode with the emperor. When Nan Yan boarded the golden carriage, she vaguely saw two large and comfortable carriages behind it.
It belongs to Concubine Kang and Concubine Ning.
Nan Yan saw the two of them, but she vaguely felt that both of them looked unhappy, and Nan Yan naturally didn't care about them.
After getting on the golden carriage, they set off soon.
Sitting in the carriage and leaving Prince Yan's Mansion, Nan Yan looked around.
Groundbreaking has already begun in many places.
Moreover, probably because Zhu Feng attached great importance to this matter, the Ministry of Industry sent a lot of people over, and the project is proceeding in full swing.
Nan Yan looked at the scene outside, turned around, and said, "Your Majesty, do you think that after my child is born, we will be able to see the newly built palace?"
Zhu Feng shook his head. "How can it be that fast? It's a palace after all. Do you think it can be built in four or five months?"
"oh……"
Nan Yan asked, "How long will it take?"
Zhu Feng said, "According to the timeline given by the Ministry of Works, it will take two to three years to build several large halls and some major palaces."
“Does it have to be this long?”
Seeing Nan Yan's eyes wide open and her expression of astonishment, Zhu Feng suppressed his laughter and tapped her forehead: "Do you think it's as easy as eating?"
“…”
"This is because I don't need this palace to be too large. Moreover, it is an expansion of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, so it only takes this long. Previously, Jian—" He paused, then continued, "The original plan was that this palace would take at least ten years to build."
Nan Yan was dumbfounded: "That's too big."
"Um."
Zhu Feng nodded. "I don't want to wait that long. We can relocate the capital after we've finished repairing a few main halls. If we can recruit some more civilians, perhaps it will take even longer."
"Then, let's recruit some more."
"It's not that easy. Serving the people in a timely manner is something that can't be accomplished overnight."
"That's true."
Nan Yan was very happy that Zhu Feng was so considerate of the common people. She thought for a moment and asked, "Then, if we could recruit some more civilians, how much time could be shortened?"
Zhu Feng said: "Probably, only one year."
"One year? That's fine."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then, our child will be able to come to the new palace before he turns one year old."
Hearing her anxious words, Zhu Feng couldn't help but smile.
"Are you really looking forward to the baby being born soon?"
"Of course. Isn't that right, Your Majesty?"
"I?" Zhu Feng said with a smile, "I am a hundred times, a thousand times more anxious than you."
As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked her belly, which was already very big and round like a big watermelon.
Looking at his appearance, Nan Yan's smile slowly faded.
She did not forget that Zhu Feng had mentioned it several times.
I hope this baby will be a prince.
He had high hopes for the child in his belly.
However, when she thought of the young boy, Prince Wei Zhu Chengxuan, who was still practicing archery diligently in the Jinling Imperial City and learning how to handle government affairs from Heyi, the urgency in her heart seemed not so urgent anymore.
Even, vaguely, there is a little contradiction.
However, she still didn't want to think about it. After all, she couldn't make the decision on this matter.
So, she just leaned obediently on Zhu Feng's shoulder.
The team drove out of the city of Beiping in a mighty manner, and gradually left the hustle and bustle of the city behind.
Along the way, Nan Yan saw many sceneries that she had never seen before. Although she had been to Peking once before, because of her status and the fact that she was busy fighting that time, she almost stayed in the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
This time, I can see the white snow scene outside.
You can see icicles hanging from the trees.
There are also groups of sparrows constantly searching for food in the snow.
Everything seemed fresh and interesting to her.
However, after walking for two days, they stopped on the road.
A message came from the front that a tree had been knocked down by the snow and fell right in the middle of the road, blocking the road.
Fortunately, the situation was not very serious, but the tree was very thick and not easy to deal with. Zhu Feng ordered Ye Zheng to take a group of people to the front to clear the road, and their team stopped on the side of the road.
It's noon now, time to eat.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Nan Yan couldn't stop. She had been sitting in the carriage for so long that she had long wanted to get off and move around.
Zhu Feng grabbed her hand and said, "Don't run around. There are a lot of rocks in the snow. Be careful not to step on them and sprain your ankle."
"But, I want to see that."
Nan Yan pointed forward anxiously.
Zhu Feng looked up and saw a vast expanse of white snow in front of him, which seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, but there was a tree standing there.
It was probably an ancient tree, particularly tall, with a thick layer of snow piled on its canopy and icicles hanging on its branches. At first glance, it looked like the jade tree in Guanghan Palace.
In fact, such trees are very common in Beijing in winter.
But Nan Yan grew up in the south after all, and rarely saw such scenery, especially when the surroundings were all white. A jade tree standing in the snow was even more conspicuous.
Zhu Feng said: "Then hold my hand and walk slowly."
"Why."
Nan Yan held his hand and walked forward step by step. After a while, they arrived under the big tree.
Looking up, I saw the tree canopy covering my head tightly, like a huge oil-paper umbrella.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "That's really interesting."
"Um."
“Winter in the north is so beautiful.”
"It's not like you haven't been here before."
"But the last time I came here, I could only stay in Prince Yan's Mansion and never saw such a scenery."
"You'll have plenty of opportunities to see it in the future."
When Nan Yan heard this, she looked back at him and smiled.
She slowly walked to the tree again, reached out and touched the frost-covered trunk, which felt cold and hard as iron. It was really rare to find such a strong and vigorous tree. In such a cold winter, other plants were weighed down by the snow and could not lift their heads, but it was the only one that stood firm.
Just like the man next to me.
No matter what kind of difficulties he faces, he never seems to bend or lower his head.
Just keep moving forward as always.
Nan Yan raised her hands and slapped the tree trunk vigorously: "Great job!"
When Zhu Feng saw her about to hit the tree trunk, his face changed and he hurriedly reached out to stop her, but it was too late.
