Chapter 494 Extra 13 Reunion at Xishan, Yuan Heng Returns
After Ji Qingwu opened the letter from Prince Yu and read it, he hurried to the hot spring pool to look for Zhao Mingyan.
Yuan Heng is coming to Xishan!
She walked quickly through the bamboo forest, clutching the letter.
The reason why the two settled down in Xishan can be traced back to when they began traveling after Chen Zhao ascended the throne.
Ji Qingwu only had a healthy body after she came into this world to fulfill her mission of having children. She has always been looking forward to measuring the vast mountains and rivers with her own feet.
In the early years, it was delayed because it was inconvenient to travel with children during the war.
Now that Zhao Mingyan was with her, Ji Qingwu had nothing to worry about, and they set off immediately. But within two years, Ji Qingwu got tired of it. It was still interesting for a month or so, but after a long time, all the scenery looked the same to her. The real scenery was right beside her.
The most important reason is that Ji Qingwu is worried about Zhao Mingyan's health.
He was carrying the deep-seated illness from years of battle. Even if he could suppress it with his inner strength now, it would eventually erupt.
Throughout history, there are many emperors who worked hard and died young.
Ji Qingwu really didn't want to go back to the palace, so she specifically asked her uncle Le Xi, who liked traveling, and then she moved to the mountains and rivers, more than a hundred miles away from Lin'an.
There are mountains and water here, it is leisurely and comfortable, and warm and pleasant.
Every morning, Zhao Mingyan would be in the hot spring pool.
Ji Qingwu forced him to soak in the water for an hour every day, using the medicine packets that she and Le Xi had carefully prepared.
The hot spring pool is hidden in the valley. White mist floats along the water surface. The bluestones by the pool are shining due to the spring water. A few clusters of wild orchids emerge from the cracks in the rocks.
Zhao Mingyan sat upright in the middle of the pool, his black hair scattered on his shoulders, his eyes closed, resting.
Even though he was still several feet away, he could clearly hear Ji Qingwu's footsteps. Without even turning his head, he said, "Awu, the cobblestones are slippery. Please walk slowly."
Ji Qingwu shook the letter paper in his hand and shouted, "Yuan Heng is coming!"
Yuan Heng has already set off and will arrive in two days.
Ji Qingwu trotted all the way here, and although his steps were steady, Zhao Mingyan still frowned.
"He can come if he wants. Why are you so excited?"
Ji Qingwu said: "The last time I saw Yuan Heng was on New Year's Eve when the whole family stayed up together. It has been more than half a year. Of course I am excited."
She stopped by the pool and said with bright eyes, "I wonder if Baocheng will come with me. With Baocheng's clingy personality, he will probably come."
Baocheng has loved sticking to his brother since he was a child, and he even doesn't want his father, the emperor, and his mother.
Zhao Mingyan stood up from the pool, making a splashing sound, and mist wrapped in water droplets rolled down his shoulders.
Ji Qingwu was immersed in the joy of the children coming over and ignored him. He did not hand him a towel or dress him as usual.
Zhao Mingyan grabbed the plain linen towel beside the stone and wiped his face, saying indifferently: "It's not a festival, why did Yuan Heng come at this time?"
Ji Qingwu read the letter again and said, "The child can come whenever he wants. What other reason is needed?"
Zhao Mingyan's gaze fell on the shaking water, where the reflected shadows of the trees were swaying.
"He must be up to something."
Ji Qingwu doesn’t care what happens to Yuan Heng, no matter what happens, he is still her baby.
Before Prince Yu arrived, Ji Qingwu began to make intensive preparations, preparing everything that Yuan Heng and Bao Cheng liked to eat and use.
She was muttering, "Baocheng loves to eat steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar the most."
Xiu Ningchuan came into the house with the newly picked herbs and saw Ji Qingwu writing a list. He smiled and asked, "My sister also likes to eat apricots. Should we prepare some?"
Ji Qingwu nodded. With Xiu Ningchuan's help, she didn't have to worry about anything.
The more she looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she became, and she was even more reluctant to let him leave.
Ji Qingwu paused with his pen and said, "Ningchuan, if Zhaozhao doesn't come, you won't go back. Your mother is backing you up, but it's not good to always give in. You should give her some time to reflect on herself."
She could see Xiu Ningchuan's love for Zhao Zhao, and he was not actually having a good time in Xishan.
Xiu Ningchuan lowered his head to organize the medicine cabinet and asked casually, "Mother, have you ever argued with father? Have there been any misunderstandings?"
Ji Qingwu was holding the shopping list in his hand and was stunned when he heard this.
Xiu Ningchuan said: "I made a mistake."
Ji Qingwu looked at the tits flying outside the window and said, "It's okay, I was just thinking that we had a dispute before, but it seems..."
She smiled and said, "The misunderstanding has never been resolved."
For example, Zhao Mingyan still didn't say when he fell in love with her.
She also didn't say that her previous "admiration" for Wei Ting and breaking into his military tent were just to complete the system task.
This time it was Xiu Ningchuan's turn to be stunned.
He thought Ji Qingwu would not tolerate any sand in her eyes, otherwise Emperor Wu Su would not have dispersed all the concubines in the harem for her.
When you think about this matter carefully, it is even more incredible.
Because Emperor Wu Su didn't seem to be the kind of person who would tolerate misunderstandings.
Ji Qingwu picked up the pen and continued writing on the list, saying gently: "Misunderstandings won't hinder love, so what's the big deal."
What's this...
Xiu Ningchuan kept repeating these words in his mind.
As long as there is love and you can feel it, it doesn’t matter whether the Queen says it or not.
Every day two people are together is a proof of their love. Just because you are young, you should not waste your time on meaningless entanglements.
Xiu Ningchuan suddenly stood up and said decisively: "Mother, I want to go back to the palace."
Ji Qingwu asked in surprise: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xiu Ningchuan said: "I, I think it's true."
Ji Qingwu knew why he was anxious and said with a smile, "Yes, Zhenzhen must miss her father too, but Prince Yu will be here tomorrow, and Zhaozhao will also come over."
Xiu Ningchuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "It's getting late today, and I'm in a hurry to go back. I'll go pack up first, and I'll be back tomorrow."
Ji Qingwu looked at his suddenly excited back, smiled and shook his head.
The next day.
It was nearly evening, and the twilight had dyed the mountain road red, when Prince Yu's carriage arrived.
It was not in accordance with the prince's regulations, but an ordinary carriage, which shows that it was a private trip.
Zhao Yuanheng jumped off the carriage.
His features and eyebrows were inherited from Ji Qingwu, his pupils were pure black, and his eyes were clear and moist.
His bone structure was the same as that of Emperor Wu Su. His jaw was angular under his black hair, which was neatly tied up by a mutton-fat jade crown. However, his solemnity was broken by a small light red mole at the corner of his eye.
It's more like the vermilion ink that was accidentally splashed when stamping, blurring the heroic spirit into a blank space that leaves something to be said but cannot.
Hearing the sound of the carriage, Ji Qingwu walked out of the gate in the forest. The mountain breeze blew in the evening, and she was wrapped in a shawl.
Ji Qingwu saw Yuan Heng at a glance. She walked down the stone steps with a smile. Just as she was about to greet him, she saw another girl getting off the carriage.
But it's not Princess Baocheng.
Ji Qingwu slowed down his pace, his eyes flickered, whose girl is this...
The girl in the goose yellow skirt touched the ground with her toes, and the jade bracelet on her wrist made a clear sound.
"Wait for me."
