Three days later, Tang Wan and Shen Xiaohan officially embarked on their summer vacation journey.
The people accompanying her included Concubine Ning, Concubine Shu, Tang Wan, Concubine Zhao, Concubine Lin, Concubine Shen, and Concubine Lu.
And Rong agreed.
In fact, Shen Xiaohan didn't want to bring her here at first. After all, she had caused a lot of trouble in recent days, and he didn't like her.
The others had to put on a show, but when it came to Rong Dancing, he couldn't even muster a smile.
Concubine Rong is jealous and vicious. Having such a person around is a huge hidden danger.
But after she knew that he was going to escape the summer heat, she burst into tears outside the palace and recounted the achievements of her father and brother over the years. Shen Xiaohan immediately remembered an important event.
Rong's father and brother probably wanted to incite rebellion. If I'm not mistaken, it would probably be this time.
Of the people he sent, only one returned alive.
He told himself that Rong Da Ying's family had calculated that he would not bring a large number of troops when he went to escape the summer heat, so they planned to cooperate with Rong Da Ying to assassinate him directly.
After killing him, he pretended to rescue him.
Since he had no children, he could only adopt a child from his relatives. Who to adopt would be decided by the ministers in power in the court.
As for the fact that he was already pregnant with Concubine Han, who knew if it was true or not? They could have just announced it to the public, saying it was just an excuse for him to save face.
After all, Concubine Han had never appeared in public, and her pregnancy was not obvious.
So they could have just killed his beloved woman and child on the spot.
The plan was indeed a good one, but unfortunately they overlooked one point, which was that he would never allow any mishap to happen to Concubine Han and her unborn child.
After so many years, he finally has family again. It is impossible not to care and worry.
However, it would be better to take advantage of the situation and wipe out the whole family at once, thus eliminating the trouble forever.
He was lost in thought, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Tang Wan held his hand and said, "Your Majesty, is it not proper for me to sit here?"
"There's nothing against the rules. You will be the prince's biological mother and my wife in the future."
What he meant was that their rules were the rules and it was not up to others to question them.
Tang Wan's eyelids twitched, and she forced herself to suppress the uneasiness in her heart. She asked with a smile, "Then, what if I give birth to a little princess?"
"Then she is also the most noble princess of the Canglang Kingdom."
Shen Xiaohan seemed to see through her thoughts and looked directly at her: "I know that my fate with offspring is weak. Even if there is only this one princess in this life, she is my only heir."
"I will not favor one over the other. If my daughter is a man of great courage and wisdom, I will never let her be relegated to the position of a princess. She is my child."
"She was born the most noble person in the world. No matter whether she is a man or a woman, as long as she has the ability, she can inherit the throne."
After hearing his remarks, Tang Wan felt somewhat shocked.
She had never heard before that a woman could become an emperor.
She had been imprisoned in the small palace for too long, and her thoughts and soul were also imprisoned.
"Thank you, Shen Xiaohan." For the first time, she didn't call him Your Majesty, but just called him by his name.
Because she knew that not all His Majesties could be like him.
Her father, the emperor, was incompetent and obsessed with beauty. Which of the people under his rule was not miserable?
Although her father seemed to like his other daughters very much on the surface, she knew that if her father had no prince, he would definitely adopt a son from the royal family to inherit the position.
In his opinion, only men can inherit the throne, and women are not qualified, especially women who have been under his control.
He is proud and conceited, but also cowardly and incompetent. He will never allow a woman to reach the highest position.
Shen Xiaohan smiled: "I have never heard you call my name before. For a moment, it was a bit novel."
Tang Wan: "Your Majesty doesn't like it? Then I won't call you next time."
Shen Xiaohan pinched her earlobe and chuckled, "That won't do. If you don't call me that next time, I will report you to the Censorate and say that you called the current emperor by his name. Let him punish you."
Tang Wanjiao snorted, "Hmph, Your Majesty, go ahead and sue me. My poor child has to suffer such hardships before he's even been born."
Shen Xiaohan was amused by her sighing appearance: "Wanwan, to be honest, if it wasn't the wrong timing, I really want to..."
Tang Wan covered his mouth with her hand, her face flushed red: "You are not allowed to think about it."
Shen Xiaohan blinked, rubbing his dry, warm lips against his palm. His eyes, which had always been filled with coldness, were now filled with a gentle, helpless expression, as if to say, "Is it not possible to just think about it?"
Tang Wan seemed to see through him: "Of course not, not even thinking about it, nothing at all!"
They are very affectionate and loving to each other.
Rong Da Ying was playing with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, but his eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake.
"This bitch is really good at seducing people. When brother takes down Shen Xiaohan and that bitch, I will make her the most despicable bitch."
"A thousand men ride, and ten thousand sleep."
Caizhi's face turned pale when she heard these words. She stammered, "Your Majesty, that little bitch can scold me, but Your Majesty, Your Majesty, isn't this a bitch?"
Rong promised that she hated being contradicted the most. Seeing her timid look, she was furious and slapped her in the face: "Bitch, are you questioning my decision?"
Caizhi didn't know what words had offended her, making her so angry all of a sudden, but according to past experience, it was best to admit her mistake at this moment, so she knelt in the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, please spare me. I didn't mean that."
"What your Majesty said and what your Majesty did are naturally the most correct. It was this servant who spoke without thinking. Please forgive me, your Majesty."
Rong Da Ying's chest rose and fell for a while, and he closed his eyes and waved at her: "Go away."
Caizhi was as if she had been pardoned: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your great grace."
"By the way, call Zhao Hai up here. I have something for him to do."
"Yes, I understand."
"Get away from me. I'm annoyed just by seeing you."
"Yes..." Caizhi felt a little aggrieved. Just a few days ago, she was the most favored maidservant beside the Empress.
All the maids in the palace would respectfully call her Aunt Caizhi when they saw her.
How did it come to this? Not only did the Queen no longer value her, but she also began to value Zhao Hai. Now her temper is getting worse and worse. I don't know what's wrong.
Although the Empress had a somewhat domineering temper in the past, it was just the normal temper of a lady from an aristocratic family. Now, it seemed as if she was filled with anger from head to toe, and she was always displeased with people.
She sighed and stopped thinking about other things. She just got off the carriage and called Zhao Hai who was following behind.
