Chapter 279 Leaving the Palace
Chu Chengyi didn't plan to speak out at all for fear of disturbing Chu Qinshu.
Finally, he simply carried her to lie down on the couch.
When the secret guard saw this situation, he appeared and asked Qiu Gu to take the dinner back to the small kitchen to keep it warm. Nanny Yao was also told to go back to the guest room and wait.
The father and daughter slept until noon.
After waking up, Chu Chengyi immediately had a full meal to make up for the meal he had missed yesterday.
Chu Qinshu also didn't suppress her appetite.
Although she did not personally cooperate with Xiao Hulu to create the illusion, she spent most of the day tidying up the warehouse, which was also very tiring.
"Shu'er, you have to accompany Dad to do some things these days."
Yesterday, we collected military supplies and weapons from two border towns of Chiling State. Both places are adjacent to Sheng'an State, which could easily arouse suspicion from Chiling State.
Therefore, he planned to visit several other border towns in Chiling Kingdom.
In addition to being adjacent to Sheng'an State, Chiling State is also adjacent to Fengning State, and none of the border towns and garrisons there can be spared.
There is also the Southwest Coast Defense Garrison of the Chiling Kingdom. If possible, he would also like to go there.
And there is the Kingdom of Yansha...
"Oh."
[Okay, okay, Shu'er listens to Daddy. ]
Chu Qinshu didn't want to be locked up in the palace in the first place, so she certainly wouldn't refuse the chance to leave the palace openly.
Before leaving the palace, Lin Chengyi still carried Chu Qinshu to Yu's study. Yesterday, the father and daughter only met in Yu's study, and he also took sick leave for the morning court today.
If I have to go out again in the next few days, I have to tell Emperor Yongping.
"What? You said you wanted to take Shu'er to the camp outside Beijing to stay for a few days?"
As soon as Emperor Yongping saw Chu Qinshu, he rushed over and held her in his arms. He found Chu Chengyi's words unbelievable.
Although it is already spring, the camp outside the capital is in the mountains, and it is definitely much colder there than in the capital.
My granddaughter is only half a year old. How can we let her go to the mountains to freeze?
"Shu'er is half a year old and has never left the palace. She said she was bored and wanted to go out and see the world."
What they are about to do is urgent and top secret.
And he really had no other chance to leave Beijing openly except to go to the camp outside Beijing.
The key is to take Chu Qinshu with you. Without a reasonable reason, Emperor Yongping will never let her go.
"Ah yeah."
[Your Majesty, please let Shu'er go with Daddy. Shu'er wants to go out of the palace to have a look.]
Chu Qinshu also knew that it was not easy for her and her father to leave the palace together.
Sneaking away like I did yesterday might work once in a while, but if I want to stay out of the palace for a while, it will definitely not work.
It was quite a hassle to find excuses to deceive Emperor Yongping.
So, it’s better to tell him directly.
"Shu'er, that's not a good place. The cold wind can make your face red.
The flowers in the capital are all in bloom, but there are only dead branches and leaves over there. As for your food, the dairy sheep you send to the capital are all frozen and can’t produce milk. What are you going to do if you’re hungry?
Just stay in the palace obediently. When the sun is fine, the emperor will take you to visit the gardens and the garden of Anren Palace. There are colorful flowers and green willows, and I'm sure you will like it.
Let's not go to the outskirts of Beijing, let's not suffer, okay? My dear."
Emperor Yongping didn't want to pay any attention to Chu Chengyi, and held Chu Qinshu in his arms to persuade him earnestly.
The camp outside Beijing was a hundred miles away from the capital, and it would take at least half a month to return. He didn't want to be away from his granddaughter for half a month.
"Father, Shu'er has said several times that she wants to go out of the palace to play. Please satisfy her this time. When we return to the palace, let her stay in Yu's study every day to accompany you."
Chu Chengyi was speechless when he heard his father fooling his daughter.
The camp outside the capital was only a hundred miles away from the capital, but when he said it, it sounded as if it was a thousand miles away.
"Yeah, yeah yeah."
[Well, Shu'er will only go this time. When you come back, stay in the study to accompany the emperor.]
Chu Qinshu had a pleading look on her face, and her little hand was tugging at Emperor Yongping's sleeve and shaking it.
He was mumbling a lot, as if it was a serious matter.
Seeing that Emperor Yongping was still hesitating.
She simply used her ultimate move.
“Wow~Wow wow wow…”
With his eyes closed and his mouth opened, he cried with heartbreak and despair.
It seemed as if she would cry herself to death if Emperor Yongping dared to disagree.
However, she cried very loudly but did not shed a single tear.
Emperor Yongping was frightened by her at first, but when he saw her secretly open one eye and look at him, he immediately understood.
This little guy is full of tricks.
"How many days?"
Emperor Yongping coaxed Chu Qinshu while glaring at Chu Chengyi.
"Ten days at most."
Chu Chengyi didn't really want to stay in the camp outside Beijing. Ten days would be enough.
"Seven days, no more."
Emperor Yongping calculated the time it took to travel to and from the camp outside the capital and gave his bottom line.
Inspecting the camp outside the capital was Chu Chengyi's duty.
If he went alone, it would be normal for him to stay there for even a month.
But if we take Chu Qinshu with us, the sooner we get back to the palace the better.
"Okay, I promise to return to the palace within seven days."
Chu Chengyi thought about it for a moment and agreed.
He said that the Ten Japanese did it on purpose, and had already left enough room for bargaining with Emperor Yongping.
"Let Shu'er wear something warmer. If she freezes, I will punish you."
Emperor Yongping held Chu Qinshu in his arms and didn't want to let go. He also wanted to go out of the palace to play, but when would he have the chance?
When I thought about my granddaughter having a auspicious beast as a mount, I felt extremely jealous.
Don't think he doesn't know that this time his unfortunate son is taking his granddaughter to the camp outside Beijing, and he will definitely ride the auspicious beast to have fun in the mountains.
"Don't worry, Father. I will definitely take good care of Shu'er."
After Chu Chengyi finished speaking, he reached out to take Chu Qinshu.
We need to go to the several locations of the Red Spirit Nation today. If we delay any further, it will probably cause unnecessary trouble.
"Aaaaah."
[Your Majesty, when Shu'er comes back, she will bring you a gift.]
Seeing that Emperor Yongping agreed, Chu Qinshu stopped howling instantly and hugged his neck and rubbed it.
He was rubbing and coaxing people at the same time.
Emperor Yongping was so annoyed that he lost his temper.
"Okay, okay, Shu'er is the most sensible. The emperor is waiting for Shu'er in the palace."
What else could Emperor Yongping say? Who softened his heart?
Although he knew that his granddaughter's crying was just a scare tactic, he still couldn't help but agreed.
Who can I blame for this?
"Aaaaah."
[Okay, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I will listen to you.]
Chu Qinshu was very happy. Now she could finally go out of the palace and play openly.
Even though she had to help her father with work, she didn't mind at all.
When Chu Chengyi came to Yu's study, he had already asked Qiu Gu to make preparations.
After leaving Yu's study, I just returned to the East Palace and saw the carriage prepared by Qiu Gu.
In addition to Qiu Gu and his group of guards, the accompanying people also included Nanny Yao and a few others who were specifically responsible for taking care of Chu Qinshu. Even Chu Qinshu's food - two goats - were pulled along in the carriage.
Chu Chengyi carried Chu Qinshu into the carriage. After leaving the city gate, the two summoned the White Tiger King and disappeared in the carriage.
Prince Ning has been a little worried these days. His four guards who knew key information disappeared out of thin air.
"My Lord, the prince has left the city. I heard he brought Princess Anping with him. What do you think..."
In Mao Zhang's mind, there was no other candidate except the crown prince who could fight with his own prince.
He suspected that the four guards were abducted by the prince's men.
"Impossible. Even my father didn't know what I did. How could that person know? He just holds a little girl to show off all day long. What kind of brain can he have?"
Prince Ning was not at all jealous of Chu Chengyi for having a daughter.
On the contrary, she was extremely disdainful of the fact that he loved Chu Qinshu.
