When she returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion in the evening, Qiu Die and Dong Xue pulled her aside as soon as they saw her.
"Miss, the Fourth Master asked me to tell you that he will go to the frontier with the Emperor the day after tomorrow. You should stay well in Beijing and don't worry. He will be back soon."
Jiang Ranli was so excited when she heard that. She was leaving for the frontier the day after tomorrow. Doesn't that mean she would be free after tomorrow?
During the day, Jiang Ranli only knew that Emperor Kangxi would set out for the frontier in early May, but she didn't know the exact time. She thought she would have to wait for several days, but she didn't expect that the happy day would come so soon.
"Okay, tell the Fourth Master that I understand."
The next day, Jiang Ranli stayed in the mansion the whole day, fearing that she would not be there when the Ninth Prince summoned everyone in the backyard, which might lead to any accidents. However, she waited from morning till late at night, but did not hear any news of the Ninth Prince summoning everyone in the backyard.
"Even the Tenth Prince is thinking of returning home to arrange some matters, but why is there no movement from the Ninth Prince? I have wasted a day."
When getting ready for bed, Jiang Ranli pulled Sixian and Sidai aside to complain.
While removing Jiang Ranli's disguise, Sixian smiled and said, "Miss, the Ninth Master will leave tomorrow. I heard that every time the Emperor goes on a tour to the frontier, it takes several months."
The implication is that it doesn't matter if you waste today, you will have several months of free time in the future.
Jiang Ranli nodded. She found that Sixian and Sidai's thoughts were becoming more and more lively.
In the dead of night, the streets of the capital are not as prosperous and noisy as they are during the day. Looking around, there is nothing but darkness, not even a single person can be seen.
However, upon closer inspection, several dark shadows appeared near the first snack shop in the capital, and at the same time, a horse-drawn carriage drove over.
Several dark shadows came to the front of the carriage and bowed to the people in the carriage.
"Master Jiu, we have been waiting for a whole day, but Miss Jiang has not appeared."
Yinlang sat upright in the carriage, his expression still solemn. After listening to the reports from several black shadows, his handsome brows twisted into a "川" shape.
"Keep guarding here."
"yes".
The carriage quickly disappeared into the night, and the streets returned to silence, so quiet that it seemed as if no carriage had passed by at all.
The black shadow was like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, it entered every corner of the night and blended into the thick night.
The next morning.
As soon as Jiang Ranli opened her eyes, Sixian and Sidai told her the good news.
"Miss, Master Jiu left before dawn."
Jiang Ranli was originally a little sleepy, but when he heard this, he sat up in bed and asked, "Really?"
Sixian and Sidai nodded repeatedly. Today was the day when the emperor was leaving for his inspection tour outside the Great Wall. They had gotten up before five in the morning to inquire about when the Ninth Prince would leave. They hadn't even slept to get the information, so how could it be wrong?
Jiang Ranli was in high spirits. After stretching, he jumped up from the bed.
"Help me get ready quickly, I'm going out to welcome freedom."
Jiang Ranli had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and at this moment he felt particularly relaxed, happy and cheerful.
Sixian and Sidai knew what their master was thinking. They had already prepared toiletries, clothes, and hair accessories, and dressed Jiang Ranli up in no time.
"Let's go. We'll first go to the west of the city to eat wontons, and then go to Liulichang to eat noodle soup. We also have fried buns there that we must not miss. By the way, let's go to Dazhalan. I heard there is a century-old store there that makes delicious pastries."
