Chapter 2530 Song and Dance
All the way west.
Although it was the emperor who was on a tour, all the discerning people in the court could see that the emperor did not bring any civil officials with him, but instead brought a large number of troops, which was obviously intended for a military operation in the northwest.
In fact, the speed at which they advanced was also different from the speed at which they had patrolled in the past.
It's already marching speed.
Fortunately, the peak of summer had passed, and as they headed west, the weather became slightly cooler, making their journey less arduous.
That evening, the imperial carriage stopped at an inn. The postmaster and his men knelt at the door to welcome the emperor. Zhu Feng got off the golden carriage and looked at this simple inn. He didn't say much and just told them to settle the people below.
Xiao Shunzi and a few young eunuchs helped him upstairs.
When Xue Yun entered the post station with everyone else, he only saw his back disappear at the stairs. On the other side, several people under the postmaster led them to their respective rooms.
This post station is very small and looks very old.
But it was specially redecorated to welcome the Holy Envoy.
Xue Yun entered the room prepared for him and saw that it was very clean. There were even a few lacquer boxes and jade artifacts on the table, which looked out of place.
She smiled, put down the medicine box she was carrying, and sat down to rest.
During the journey, Zhu Feng refused to carry anything with him, which made it very hard for them as well. However, no one dared to complain and they could only rest well at night.
She was just about to lie down and rest for a while when she heard the chirping of birdsong coming from behind.
It was a woman's sweet voice.
Zhu Feng was accompanied by almost all soldiers, and his personal servants were Xiao Shunzi and a few eunuchs. Where did the women come from?
The sound came from the back window, so Xue Yun walked over and opened the window to take a look.
The window faced the backyard of the inn. When she looked down, she was shocked.
This seemingly simple post station has a completely newly decorated backyard with a large stage. Some musicians are sitting behind the curtains on both sides preparing, and there is also a group of young and beautiful women, each of them wearing makeup and red and green, and they are all talking about something excitedly.
"Have you heard? The emperor is here."
"That's great! I haven't even met the Emperor yet."
"What nonsense! Has anyone here seen it? I just want to open my eyes tonight."
"Do you think the Emperor will meet us?"
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, the Postmaster General asked us to dance for the Emperor. If the Emperor really likes us—hehe, that would be a great blessing. Let me make it clear first, no one can compete with me."
"Who would compete with you? We don't even know who the emperor has his eye on."
Listening to their laughter and banter, Xue Yun frowned slightly and closed the window again.
At this time, Zhu Feng was sitting in the spacious and comfortable room arranged for him by the post station, resting with his eyes closed. After Xiao Shunzi served him tea, he stood by and served him carefully.
A young eunuch came in and whispered something in his ear. Xiao Shunzi frowned and waved his hand to let him go.
Zhu Feng half-closed his eyes and asked lazily, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Shunzi stepped forward and said, "It's the postmaster here who has specially prepared a banquet with wine, singing and dancing for the emperor. It's in the courtyard behind. Please enjoy it, Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"oh?"
