When Yubao saw his father and mother standing at the door at the same time, he hesitated for a moment and immediately rushed into his mother's arms. Li Jingchen beside him was a little jealous.
As soon as he entered his mother's arms, Yubao burst into tears, and all the grievances he had suffered for so long burst out. This made Jiang Tuantuan very distressed, and she kept coaxing him.
Feng Xiaoli said, "Yubao has been so well behaved these days. He hasn't cried at all. It seems he's been holding it in for too long. I feel so sorry for my sweet child."
Seeing Jiang Tuantuan coaxing the child, Li Jingchen arranged for people to bring in all the boxes at the door. Two of them were full of various specialties brought back, such as porcelain, clothes, etc.
When they opened the box, they found it was filled to the brim. Jiang Tuantuan pointed at the box and said to Yubao, "Yubao, look quickly! Look at what's in there."
There was a shiny object among them, which attracted his attention. His sobbing became quieter. Li Jingchen took Yubao and held him to see the things in the box. After grabbing a shiny necklace, Yubao would not let go. He raised his arms and shook it back and forth. Soon he was dizzy, which made everyone laugh.
Jiang Tuantuan divided the gifts for everyone and gave Jiang An a painting that he bought in Jiangnan. Although he didn't know who the painting was from, it looked very beautiful, so he bought it.
After Jiang An received the painting, he looked at it again and again under the sunlight and couldn't help but praise it. "Sister, this is part of the scroll of 'Xiaoxiang Tu'. The whole scroll depicts the beautiful scenery of the hills, sandbanks and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River in the form of a horizontal banner. This is a rare and precious painting."
"Wow, I actually found such a treasure. I was in a hurry to buy a gift, so I bought it from the stall."
Jiang An took another closer look and said, "It's probably authentic. There's a brand mark on it, but I'm not too sure. Anyway, I'm happy to have a fake."
Jiang Li was given a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, which are unique to Jiangnan. The pens are carved with bamboo patterns, which are very exquisite. You can feel the weight when holding them in your hand.
Jiang Li thanked Jiang Tuantuan happily.
Jiang Dafeng was also given some high-quality tea, while Feng Xiaoli was given clothes and jewelry. After receiving the gifts, everyone felt less dissatisfied with them for being away for so many days.
It's really like using gifts to win people's hearts.
In the evening, everyone prepared a table of delicious food to welcome Jiang Tuantuan and Li Jingchen back.
After Mingman returned to the palace, she hid in her own palace and was a little afraid to go out. She was extremely afraid of seeing her father and being scolded, but hiding all the time was not a solution. She was so anxious that she kept walking around the room, and the pearls and jades made her dizzy.
"Princess, don't go. His Majesty won't be angry. After all, you experienced being kidnapped at that time. His Majesty will definitely feel sorry for you." Zhenzhu said.
"That means you'll show some concern for me first, and then have a big fight with me. It's scary just thinking about it."
"Hmph, you're scared now. Why didn't you come back earlier then?" The prince pushed the door open from outside.
Ming Man was startled at first, then breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Crown Prince, how did you come here without anyone noticing? You scared me."
The prince ignored her and instead looked her up and down, then turned around and looked again. "Now I'm relieved. You've gained a little weight on this trip, and you look pretty good. You should hurry and go find the emperor now. The sooner you go, the less angry he might be."
Ming Man quickly took out an exquisite jade artifact from the box and said, "Brother Crown Prince, this is for you."
The prince accepted the gift and said, "Oh, my sister actually brought me a gift."
"Then for the sake of the gift, please tell me how Father has been feeling these past few days."
"Father, you've been really busy these past few days. There's been a lot more palace work to do, and with winter approaching, the number of people catching colds is increasing. You've been really busy and overwhelmed."
After hearing this, Mingman felt even colder. She knew that her father's temper was usually not very good when he was very busy.
But the Crown Prince was right, the later they went, the worse the situation would be. So she changed into clean clothes, combed her hair again, asked the palace maid to carry a box of gifts, and rushed to the palace where her father was.
When I arrived at the palace gate, I heard my father yelling in anger. Although I couldn't hear it clearly, I could tell that he must be in a very bad mood.
After knocking on the door, the eunuch came over and asked Mingman to wait for a moment before going in to report to the emperor.
When the emperor heard that it was Mingman who came, he immediately asked the man in black to step back and let Mingman in.
Ming Man walked inside tremblingly, raised her head to glance at the emperor, then quickly lowered her head, "Father, the woman is back."
The emperor approached her and said, "Lift up your face so I can see it."
"Well, it seems you've been recuperating well recently. You look better. Are you having fun in Jiangnan?"
"happy!"
"Are you injured?"
"No."
The emperor said calmly, "As long as you're not injured, I'm relieved."
Seeing that her father did not scold her and was still concerned about her, Mingman became even more nervous.
She immediately pointed to the box and said, "Father, these are all gifts that your daughter bought specifically for you."
The palace maid opened the box, and it was full of jewelry, jade, porcelain and everything else. It was simply a big pot of stew, but the emperor was still very happy to accept it.
Mingman left afterwards. After walking out the door, she breathed in some fresh air and felt like she was alive again. Her father was not angry with her. Yay, she was so happy.
The emperor was originally angry. He was angry that she had gone out to play for so long and had not come back, and had been in danger and kidnapped. But because she was kidnapped, the emperor was very worried and afraid that she would be hurt. Fortunately, she came back safe and sound in the end. His heartache suddenly took over, and he was reluctant to argue with her anymore.
I was afraid that the kidnapping incident had just passed, and if I quarreled with her again, she would be scared again. That would be bad, as she was already weak.
After resting at home for a night, Li Jingchen immediately changed into clean and decent clothes and went into the palace with the token. That sentence had been buried in his heart, making him unable to completely calm down.
The emperor was also waiting for Li Jingchen's arrival in the palace.
As soon as he heard the eunuch report that the prince had arrived, he immediately put down the letter in his hand and called him in.
After Li Jingchen came in, the emperor first looked him up and down, and found that he had become stronger, so he felt relieved.
Li Jingchen then told the emperor everything about his encounter with Master Yuqing and what he said.
After hearing this, the emperor's face changed immediately. He was in a very depressed and angry mood. He was not angry with Master Yuqing, but with the person behind the kidnapping of Mingman.
Li Jingchen told the emperor everything about Mingman's kidnapping and what happened at that time. Although he knew it, he became angry again after listening to Li Jingchen's story.
