On the day of departure for the Heavenly Sacrifice, Yan Bao brought Zi Yun with him, and the luggage they packed filled almost a carriage.
Mrs. Shen refused to go and told Yan Bao to take good care of her father and herself, not to run around or cause trouble.
Yan Bao was speechless: [Mom, when have you ever seen me get into trouble? It’s always others who provoke me. Don’t worry, I’m your well-behaved daughter!]
Mrs. Shen doesn't believe it.
Seeing her daughter who appeared well-behaved but was rebellious at heart, Mrs. Shen didn't even bother to expose her.
She also told Brother Shen: "Take good care of your sister, keep an eye on your father, tell him to drink less, and take care of his health when he goes out. Mother handed them over to you, so you must bring them back well."
Originally, Brother Shen had no chance to go to Mount Tai together. Yan Bao muttered to himself, "Such a useful coolie should be wasted. When I can't walk anymore, I can let Brother Shen carry me!"
When Shen Shoufu thought of the height of the top of Mount Tai, he nodded in agreement. It would be a waste to raise a son if he didn't enslave him. Take him with you.
In this way, Brother Shen was able to go to Mount Tai together.
Brother Shen, who was able to go out for a stroll, was so confident that he patted his chest loudly: "Don't worry, mother, your son will take good care of them. Don't let them lose a single hair, just rest assured!"
Hearing this, Yan Bao couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Second brother, just wait and see. You're supposed to be taking care of us, but you lost your soul when you met your future sister-in-law. And you still have the nerve to say you're missing a single hair? You almost lost all your hair!"
Second Brother Shen: “!!!”
Yan Bao, don't lie to me. Is your future sister-in-law really going to come out?
Ah, your hair is not safe?
The head can be cut and the blood can flow, but the hair cannot be bald. It’s better not to have this daughter-in-law!
Mrs. Shen: “…”
Future daughter-in-law?
Otherwise, I will also go to their father to act coquettishly and cutely, and go to Mount Tai with him. I wonder if this second daughter-in-law likes me as her mother-in-law!
In the end, Madam Shen was unable to go out with them. She had her period and could not go out, so she could only stay at home and wait for them to come back. Madam Shen also implicitly advised Second Brother Shen to be gentle and kind to the little girl, and not to be fierce and lose his gentlemanly demeanor.
Second Brother Shen: “…”
Does mom know something?
Mrs. Shen: “…”
I know it all, but I can't say it.
Yan Bao: [Mom, we're going out. Don't run around at home alone. Be careful of getting ripped off by my family!]
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen waited for Yan Bao and the others to leave before immediately closing the door and refusing to entertain anyone.
The family members who wanted to ask for money were directly turned away. They cursed and said that after Mrs. Shen became the wife of the Prime Minister, she looked down on people more and more and would not let them into the house.
Mrs. Shen didn't care. After what happened with the Sun family last time, Mrs. Shen was afraid.
......
The emperor's outing was so grand and majestic. After a long and mighty procession, it was Yan Bao and his companions' carriage's turn to catch up. There were also Yulin Guards escorting them from behind. Even if someone wanted to launch a sneak attack, they could not hurt the emperor.
There were royal people everywhere for miles, which shows how grand the ceremony was.
The emperor did not bring his concubines with him when he went out this time. After all, he was going to offer sacrifices to heaven, not to travel.
As for the prince, among so many ugly princes, the thirteenth prince was chosen.
The Thirteenth Prince was able to go out thanks to Yan Bao.
Concubine Jing prepared a gift for the Thirteenth Prince and gave him some instructions, asking him to be well-behaved, not to run around, to be careful, to play more with Yan Bao, and to think twice before speaking in front of the Emperor.
The Thirteenth Prince nodded to show that he understood, and listened to Concubine Jing's chatter for a long time.
The Thirteenth Prince knew that Concubine Jing was doing this for his own good, and he cherished this motherly love very much.
After leaving the palace, the Thirteenth Prince followed the emperor's carriage. The carriage was very comfortable, gorgeous and majestic, in line with the emperor's style.
After leaving the city, the emperor became bored and asked someone to bring Yan Bao over.
Not only did Yan Bao come, he also pulled Shen Shoufu over. Shen Shoufu played chess with the emperor, and Yan Bao played Gobang with the thirteenth prince.
When she was hungry, she would take out the sweets and snacks prepared in the mansion and eat them, and she would also peel some melon seeds for the emperor to please him.
The emperor looked at the sunflower seeds that were dripping with saliva, and the corner of his mouth twitched. "I appreciate Yan Bao's kindness, but I don't like sunflower seeds. You guys can eat them yourselves!"
Yan Bao smiled mischievously in his heart: [I knew the emperor wouldn't like my saliva-flavored melon seeds. I'm such a clever little ghost, I'm so good at acting cute!]
Shen Shoufu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and was once again thankful that the emperor didn't know Yan Bao's feelings, otherwise the Shen family would be confiscated again.
The reason is to deceive the emperor.
The weather was clear and crisp during this trip, and the autumn scenery along the way was so breathtaking that they were dazzled. Many farmers were busy with the autumn harvest, and the leaves had turned red.
The distance from the capital to Mount Tai was not short and the carriage did not travel fast, so it took three days to reach the palace at the foot of Mount Tai.
Yan Bao was already accustomed to traveling in a carriage. In the carriage he would either eat or sleep, or watch the scenery outside with the Thirteenth Prince.
Eat most of the snacks you prepared.
Knowing that the emperor was coming, the palace had already been prepared for rest. The palace was built against the mountain, with different heights and looked very magnificent. Yan Bao was arranged to live in the palace and keep the Thirteenth Prince company.
They are young, so there is no need to be so cautious.
Now that the emperor has spoken, no one else dares to say anything.
Second Brother Shen lived with Chief Minister Shen in the post station outside the palace. At this time, at the foot of Mount Tai, apart from them who came from the capital, there were only local people and tourists who came here to climb the mountain.
The mountain is closed these days and no one else can go up.
Many people stayed in the small town at the foot of the mountain, forming a bustling market.
