"My father is a straightforward person. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. But since you've said so, let's go and find out whether it's true or not. Let's go!"
Zhongli Zhou stood up, smoothed his clothes, and took a big step to catch up with King Ping.
Four carriages moved slowly on the streets of Liangzhou City, heading towards the west of the city.
Jiang Qianruo was sitting in the yard in a daze.
Her eyes seemed to be looking at the teacup in front of her, but a closer look would reveal that her eyes were not focused at all.
The sound of Tang Qingfeng and his men entering the room interrupted her thoughts.
In Zhonglizhou's mind, the image of the Empress Dowager was almost blurred.
Just looking at the figure sitting in the courtyard, it gradually overlapped with the image of the Royal Grandmother in his mind. He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I am an unfilial grandson. I didn't come to greet the Royal Grandmother when she came here. I hope Grandmother will forgive me!"
Prince Ping was still staring at Jiang Qianruo stupidly.
There was some difference between her appearance and the one he remembered.
Time has finally left some marks on her face, and she has become more calm.
"Get up, I don't blame you."
Jiang Qianruo's expression was indifferent. There was neither surprise at seeing them nor any unhappiness on his face.
Zhongli Zhou didn't feel the attitude was cold either, he stood up readily.
Seeing his father still standing aside, not knowing what he was thinking, he couldn't help but pull his father.
Prince Ping finally reacted and quickly lowered his head: "Greetings, greetings, mother."
"Um."
Jiang Qianruo acted as if he didn't notice that he had forgotten to salute.
"Where is Princess Ping? Why didn't she come to see me?"
Jiang Qianruo's words instantly made Zhong Lizhou's heart tighten, and he quickly explained: "Mother has taken the Red Sleeves Army to Xiaotian Village for training. She is not in Liangzhou City at the moment. I hope Grandma will not blame me! I will send a letter to ask Mother to come back!"
Jiang Qianruo's eyes lit up when he heard about Xiao Tiancun, but his expression remained as calm as a mountain. "Since she's not there, forget it. She has trouble walking anyway, and I have nothing better to do, so I'd like to take a look around. Is the carriage ready? I'll go see her!"
Tang Qingfeng was still thinking about Xiaotian Village... Xiaotian Village...
Why do I hear this name so often recently?
Wait, that girl’s family seems to be from Oda Village!
Hearing his uncle's almost urgent tone, Tang Qingfeng couldn't help but exclaimed: "Go now?"
What's the situation in Xiaotian Village? How can we get there? It's so far away and we don't even know where to go. How can we just leave like that?
Zhonglizhou took a deep breath in his heart, his guess turned out to be true!
"Now!"
Jiang Qianruo answered without hesitation.
"Isn't it a bit rushed? You just arrived here and haven't rested enough yet. Why not take a couple of days to relax? I'll send a letter to Ruqing asking her to come back. At your age, can your body handle it?"
Prince Ping looked at Jiang Qianruo with some concern. His mother was already in her fifties, so she shouldn't be making long journeys anymore...
Tang Qingfeng felt bad when he heard it, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Qianruo's face darken a little: "Oh? I'm this age? What age am I?"
Zhong Lizhou saw that the Empress Dowager had a somewhat unfriendly expression on her face and knew that her father's words had upset her. He hurriedly said before his father could say anything, "Father is worried about your health! Xiaotian Village is not far from here. If we set out now, we might have to spend the night in the wilderness. Why don't you rest for a night and then set out early tomorrow morning? I will personally lead the way and ensure Grandma's safety!"
Prince Ping frowned slightly and was about to speak when Tang Qingfeng interrupted him: "I think what the prince said makes sense. We are not familiar with this place, so let's just follow the prince's arrangements."
Jiang Qianruo glanced at the two of them and said, "No matter what the reason, leave early tomorrow morning!"
"Flutter~~"
On the eaves of one side, a carrier pigeon landed on the eaves and cooed.
Zhongli Zhou took a look and found that it was the pigeon that Ji Changying used to contact him, so he waved immediately.
"Huh? Why did that girl write so much this time?"
Prince Ping took a glance and knew it was Ji Changying's letter, but he was a little puzzled as to why it looked so much thicker this time.
That girl? Which girl?
Tang Qingfeng couldn't help but move his feet and stretched his neck to get closer to take a look.
But Zhongli Zhou ignored it. After taking the letter and confirming that it was from Ji Changying, he put it in his arms.
He said respectfully to Jiang Qianruo, "Grandma, please get in the car!"
Jiang Qianruo pointed to a room in the yard and said, "That room contains all the things I bought. Take them all away!"
"yes!"
Because Tang Qingfeng told King Ping to keep a low profile when he went to see him, King Ping didn't bring many people with him.
When I opened the room, I saw it was full of food, drinks, clothes and other daily necessities.
He also ran many times before moving the things onto the carriage, but this way Jiang Qianruo, Tang Qingfeng, and Prince Ping and his son had to sit in one carriage.
The four people sat opposite each other, neither close nor familiar with each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
Prince Ping couldn't help but poke his son: "Didn't Ying write you a letter? What did she write?"
Zhonglizhou felt that his father was really a headache.
After hearing this, Jiang Qianruo finally looked at Zhong Lizhou straight in the eye: "A Ying? Who is A Ying? Are you engaged?"
King Ping suddenly thought of something and paused for a moment.
Zhong Lizhou glanced at his grandmother who was waiting for his reply and replied calmly, "It's a friend my grandson made, named Ji Changying, who lives in Xiaotian Village."
Tang Qingfeng exclaimed, "Ji Changying? Is she the girl who is this tall, has thick bangs on her head, looks delicate and is a little timid? Do you know her?"
Zhonglizhou hesitated: "Cowardly... timid?"
Tang Qingfeng was not a man of few words. When he saw someone approaching him, he immediately started telling everyone about his previous encounter with Ji Changying: "That girl also said her family was from Xiaotian Village in Gan County!"
If the address was correct, Zhonglizhou was sure that there was only one girl named Ji Changying in Xiaotian Village, Gan County.
But it was hard for him to associate the timid and stuttering person mentioned by Tang Qingfeng with Ji Changying.
King Ping shook his head when he heard this: "The girl we know is very brave. What you said is different from the one we know!"
Jiang Qianruo snorted: "Since your friend wrote to you, just read it. Can I eat you?"
Looking at the three pairs of eyes staring at him, Zhongli Zhou felt inexplicably pressured.
Taking out the letter written by Ji Changying from his arms, Tang Qingfeng sat opposite him, anxiously wanting to know what was written. Jiang Qianruo also leaned forward slightly.
Zhongli Zhou had originally opened the letter under pressure, but after reading two lines his expression immediately became serious and he took a breath.
"Four thousand pounds!"
He muttered in disbelief.
