Knowing that the emperor was coming to the Hot Spring Palace, Chief Minister Shen brought Yan Bao and others to greet him on the roadside.
The emperor opened the curtain and waved to Yan Bao: "Come here, Yan Bao, it's warm in the carriage, don't catch a cold!"
Yan Bao smiled and nodded, then climbed onto the carriage using his hands and feet.
The emperor smiled and stuffed a hand warmer into Yan Bao's hand: "Is it fun to take a hot spring bath?"
Yan Bao nodded excitedly: [It's fun. It's much warmer here than in the capital, and I can eat a lot of vegetables. The vegetables grown here are delicious.]
[Your Majesty, why are you here in the other palace? Aren't you walking into a tiger's mouth like a sheep?]
Shen Shoufu raised his eyebrows, what does it mean?
Yan Bao had no idea her inner voice had been heard. She muttered without hesitation: "The Third Prince is indeed quite scheming. He found a woman who looked like the Emperor's White Moonlight to seduce the Emperor."
[This matter was done secretly, and no one else knew about it except me.]
Shen Shoufu touched his chin and said, “Yan Bao, Dad knows too.”
Madam Shen stroked her hair and said, "Mother knows too."
Brother Shen curled his lips and said, "I'm sorry, I know that too."
Second Brother Shen almost raised his hand to show that he knew, but he held back.
[This Bai Yueguang substitute is poisonous and cannot be allowed into the palace. If she were to enter, our Shen family would have a hard time. The Third Prince hates our Shen family so much!] Yan Bao's mind was in turmoil.
Shen Shoufu nodded secretly.
Madam Shen was a little embarrassed. How could she prevent people from entering the palace?
Brother Shen decided to send someone to investigate later. Anyone who is detrimental to the Shen family is not worthy of appearing in front of the emperor.
Second Brother Shen touched the hidden weapon on his waist. How about killing someone to silence him?
Yan Bao continued to mutter: [As long as the Emperor is not allowed to go hunting in Nanshan tomorrow, that Bai Yueguang substitute will be waiting there, deliberately getting shot by the Emperor and brought back. After a few rounds, the Emperor will be very excited. That night, the two of them will...]
Shen Shoufu coughed lightly and said, "There's no need to say anything else, Yanbao. Daddy doesn't really want to hear it. You're a four-year-old girl, so you shouldn't know too much."
Mrs. Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This child, how dare he think of anything.
Brother Shen understood immediately and didn't even dare to look at the emperor.
Second Brother Shen was very disappointed. There was nothing he couldn't listen to. After this New Year, he would be fifteen years old, and the little girls would have reached the age of marriage, so he would be considered an adult.
Yan Bao: [Dad's throat isn't feeling well, I'm afraid he caught a cold. I'll ask the kitchen to stew some rock sugar pears. I want some too.]
Shen Shoufu’s heart warmed up, his precious daughter still felt sorry for him, and Shen Shoufu, who was coughing, felt a little guilty.
The emperor didn't know that he had been targeted. He was still holding Yan Bao and talking to the Thirteenth Prince. When the carriage arrived at the other palace, he was reluctant to let go and said he would take him to the other palace to play for a while.
After some persuasion from Chief Minister Shen, the emperor allowed Yan Bao to follow Chief Minister Shen.
Yan Bao waved at the Thirteenth Prince.
That night, each member of the Shen family received a bowl of rock sugar and snow pear soup. Xu Zhimo also added Sichuan Fritillaria, which is good for the throat.
The next day, the emperor woke up from a lazy sleep and saw that the weather was good today, so he said he wanted to go hunting. He also called Shen Shoufu over and asked Shen Da Ge and Shen Er Ge to come along.
We happened to go to Nanshan.
Shen Shoufu's alarm bells rang loudly, and he said, "There aren't many prey on the South Mountain. If Your Majesty wants to hunt, why not go to the North Mountain? We saw sika deer a few days ago, and the venison is good this season."
The emperor looked at South Mountain and then at North Mountain, and he still wanted to go to South Mountain.
But then he heard Chief Minister Shen say, "Yan Bao likes to eat venison. I want to hunt one for Yan Bao."
After Yan Bao was brought out, the emperor really changed his mind: "Let's go to Beishan."
Seeing the emperor's horse heading towards the North Mountain, Chief Minister Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Big Brother Shen and Second Brother Shen also breathed a sigh of relief. The people sent by Chief Minister Shen had already arrived at the South Mountain.
The beautiful Bai Yueguang, who was hiding in Nanshan and preparing to meet the emperor, was tied up by a group of people who suddenly appeared. Their mouths were covered to prevent her from shouting and being exposed. They then put her in a sack and transported her away from the capital.
The third prince was waiting for news about the emperor's substitute, but after two days of inquiries, there was no news at all.
The beauty he arranged seemed to disappear out of thin air.
The third prince was dumbfounded and mobilized spies from other palaces, only to find out that the emperor had never seen the Bai Yueguang substitute.
Finally, I found out that on the day of the hunt, there were two people missing from the group brought by Chief Assistant Shen.
What else did the Third Prince not understand? His arrangements were ruined by the Shen family.
The Third Prince was so angry that he gritted his teeth and secretly swore that when he won the world, the first thing he would do was to take action against the Shen family.
If it weren't for the Shen family, he wouldn't have ended up like this, and his brother, the Eighth Prince, wouldn't have become a one-eyed man. He hasn't dared to show up in public for some time and doesn't want to see anyone.
Losing one eye was a huge blow to the Eighth Prince.
The virtuous concubine is a hypocrite and will not take good care of the eighth prince.
The days in the hot spring palace passed quickly. Yan Bao ate venison and took the Thirteenth Prince out to catch wild rabbits, shoot arrows, and eat roasted rabbits, spicy rabbit heads, and roasted sweet potatoes.
Yanbao likes sweet roasted sweet potatoes very much, but eating too much will cause him to fart.
When she was held by the emperor, she even let out a "puff" sound.
Before the emperor could even smell it, his mouth and nose were covered, and the stench almost killed him.
After eating the half-cooked sweet potatoes roasted by Yan Bao, the emperor almost threw off his quilt that night.
Fortunately, the concubine was not favored tonight, otherwise the concubine would not know whether she would be killed to silence her!
The happy days passed quickly. On the day before New Year's Eve, Yan Bao and his companions' carriage followed the emperor's carriage back to the capital. Yan Bao also gave the emperor two beggar's chickens to eat in the carriage.
The chicken is wrapped in lotus leaves, covered with mud, and buried in the stove.
This was the first time that she cooked it, and Yan Bao trusted Xu Zhimo's cooking skills.
