“........”
Ying Xixi glared at him, then turned around and continued eating her porridge.
Yin Huaixu was touched by the cuteness and laughed softly.
Ying Xixi thought that she was glaring at him fiercely, but in fact, in Yin Huaixu's eyes, she had red eyes and rippling eyes as she glared at him, as if she was being coquettish and acting cute.
Ying Xixi quickly finished the lean meat porridge and side dishes and was half full.
Yin Huaixu reached out, picked up the tray and placed it on the shore, and his tall body moved closer to Ying Xixi.
"Xixi, are you full?"
As he asked, he stretched out his long arms and hugged Ying Xixi in his arms.
"No, I'm half full. Let's soak for a while and then go out. It's so hot here."
Ying Xixi leaned on Yin Huaixu's broad shoulders.
"Um."
Yin Huaixu stopped bothering her, and the two of them snuggled up quietly, the atmosphere was warm and comfortable.
........
Ying Xixi spent a few comfortable days.
That day, she was curled up on the couch reading a storybook when Ah Xiang suddenly came in to report.
"My Lady, there is a man who claims to be your grandfather's confidant who wants to see you."
Ying Xixi was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the treasure map. "Does Your Majesty know about this?"
"Your Majesty knows that anyone who wants to see the Empress will be asked by His Majesty before being allowed to come and see her."
Ah Xiang explained.
"Then let someone in."
The person who came was a man, and he stood behind the screen and talked.
"I come to see your majesty, I am your grandfather's confidant.
I have been ordered to go to the capital to congratulate the Empress on her marriage and to present her with gifts."
"Is Grandfather okay? Speaking of which, I've never met him before. Why would Grandfather send someone to give me a gift?"
Ying Xixi asked back in a calm voice.
"Reporting to the Queen, the Master is in good health.
The master has missed the young lady and you very much these years, but...
Some time ago, when the master heard that His Majesty was getting married and that his spouse was you, he sent me to the capital to present gifts.
The master also wanted to come and see you in person, but due to various reasons, the master could only let this humble person come."
The other party was halfway through his words, and Ying Xixi didn't want to ask any further questions, so she didn't ask anything.
"I understand. Thank my grandfather for me. You can rest in the palace for a few days before leaving."
"Yes, thank you, my lady."
After the other party retreated, several young eunuchs came in carrying more than ten wooden boxes and put them down.
Ah Xiang explained, "My Lady, these are the gifts that the person just brought."
Ying Xixi nodded and stood up to look at the gifts.
The treasure map should be hidden in these gifts.
But she and Ah Xiang searched through all the wooden boxes but didn't find any letter paper or anything like that.
Could it be that Wang Ruyi was lying to her about the treasure map?
Ying Xixi did not jump to conclusions. She waited for Yin Huaixu to come back and told him about this.
"Ah Xu, I didn't find any treasure maps among these gifts. Do you think Wang Ruyi is lying to me? Is there really no such thing as a treasure map?"
Yin Huaixu held his wife in his arms, kissed her again and again, and patted her shoulders gently.
"There is indeed a treasure map."
As he spoke, Yin Huaixu took out a piece of slightly yellowed leather and handed it to Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi's eyes widened, "This? This is a treasure map?!"
"Well, the person who brought the gift knew about the treasure map and took it for himself and hid it.
When he met me, I noticed something was wrong with him, so I asked someone to keep an eye on him, and finally found this treasure map on him.
This is indeed the treasure map that Grandfather wanted to give you, take a look."
Ying Xixi unfolded the leather and saw a topographic map on it. Various terrains pointed to a cave with several gold ingot shapes painted on it.
“Looking at this picture, the treasure is in the cave, but with this terrain, I can’t tell where it is.
Even with this topographic map, it would be difficult to find this cave, right?"
Ying Xixi stared at it for a long time, but really couldn't understand it.
Yin Huaixu watched for a while and figured out something.
"This terrain is somewhat similar to some places in the south. There are people in the court who are well versed in various terrains. Let me have someone take a look.
Xixi, do you want to see this treasure?"
"Since my grandfather gave it to me, I might as well go and have a look. It's also a good opportunity for me to go out and have some fun.
Ah Xu, do you want to go with me?"
Ying Xixi looked at him with her big eyes.
With Yin Huaixu around, she felt at ease.
"Of course, even if you didn't ask me to go with you, I would still go.
I'm afraid my new wife will run away quietly."
Yin Huaixu hugged Ying Xixi tightly and kissed her on the forehead.
Ying Xixi angrily said to him, "I've already told you I won't leave you. Why don't you believe me?
Or do you really hope that I will run away?!"
Yin Huaixu laughed, "It's unfair! I hope you stay with me forever."
After the two flirted for a while, Yin Huaixu called an official to look at the topographic map.
The official just took a look and told the place.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the place shown on this topographic map is the outskirts of Chengzhou."
"Chengzhou?"
Ying Xixi was stunned when she heard this.
Isn’t Chengzhou the fief of that foreign king Yinglinxian?
If she remembered correctly, her grandfather's home was in Jiangnan.
How could the treasure be hidden in Chengzhou?
"Is the terrain there easy to navigate? According to this map, is it easy to find the last cave?"
