Wishful Things

In the early morning of the next day, outside Dingnan Palace, a group of people and horses were ready to go.

Cars and horses pass slowly through the city, and pedestrians give way.

Immediately, the young man was wearing a green robe, with black hair and a noble demeanor, and there was a smear of coldness hidden between his eyebrows and eyes, which made people dare not look closely.

The government emblem inlaid on the carriage made the city gate guards salute and let it go.

After leaving the city gate, the boy immediately looked back at the towering city tower behind him.

Three miles away from the city, Wu Chao slowly reined in his horse and stopped.

In a pavilion ahead, there was already a line of palace people waiting here.

Seeing Wu Chao dismount, several eunuchs rushed forward immediately.

"Our family is here to see off Wu Shisun by His Majesty's order." The chief eunuch Li Ji smiled respectfully.

Wu Chao raised his hand in salute, and said, "Please thank Your Majesty for Wu."

At this time, the eldest son Wu Jingming got out of the carriage behind him and came over.

"Ah, Prince Wu is here too?" Li Ji saluted with a smile.

"Eunuch Li." Wu Jingming said with a smile, "It's just a trivial matter for the dog to leave the capital. How can His Majesty bother you so much—"

"How can it be a trivial matter?" Li Ji said with a smile, "Your Majesty has been talking about it for the past two days. Wu Shisun came to Beijing this time, because His Majesty is busy with state affairs recently, so he has never entertained him well. It is very strange for His Majesty to be an uncle." I'm sorry...just say that in the future when grandchildren come to Beijing, they will go hunting with grandchildren themselves."

Wu Jingming just smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a heart."

After a while of pleasantries, Li Ji motioned for the eunuch behind him who was holding a tray to come forward.

"I invite my grandson to drink this cup of farewell wine, and hope that my grandson will arrive in Ningyang safely all the way."

Wu Chao took the wine cup from Li Ji, said "Thank you, Your Majesty", and drank the wine in it in one gulp.

"It's getting late, our family won't delay the grandchildren's journey, so we will go ahead and return to the palace to report to His Majesty—" Li Ji saluted with a smile.

Wu Jingming nodded: "Eunuch Li, go slowly."

Seeing Li Ji getting into the carriage and leaving, Wu Jingming smiled inexplicably.

His Majesty the emperor really likes to do superficial work as always.

At this time, in the carriage of Dingnan Prince's Mansion, Mrs. Xu, the wife of the eldest son, came over with her maid.

"Father and mother will send them here." Wu Chao bowed deeply to his parents.

"Okay..." Mrs. Xu nodded, her eyes turned red unconsciously, and she urged in a hoarse voice: "Don't rush on the road, change carriages when you are tired, whether you are staying at a hotel or traveling In the post house, every meal and daily necessities need to be checked again and again, so don't be careless..."

"My son has memorized it all."

"Okay, Ah Yuan has a sense of proportion." Shizi comforted his wife softly.

Instead, he confessed to his son: "Go, don't delay the time for lodging, and remember not to hurry at night."

"yes."

Wu Chao responded, and after bidding farewell to his parents again, he jumped on his horse neatly.

After watching them off for a while, Wu Jingming helped his wife into the carriage.

Seeing his wife holding a handkerchief to collect tears, Wu Jingming cleared his throat, patted his wife on the shoulder, and was about to speak words of comfort.

His wife has always been dignified, and he rarely has the opportunity to comfort her.

"Meow--"

The meow of the kitten interrupted Wu Jingming's thoughts.

The next moment, I saw my wife took Tianjiao into her arms and smoothed the cat's fur.

The cat narrowed its eyes comfortably and made a light purring sound.

Mrs. Xu immediately showed a smile, and the sadness and reluctance just now disappeared.

"..." The prince, who hadn't had time to express himself in the future, rested his hands on his lap and mused. The sense of crisis that his family status was about to be lost was getting stronger and stronger, which made him feel that he had to say something.

"Ma'am, since Ah Yuan has left, why don't we send Tianjiao away?"

Xu's smile condensed slightly, and her voice was still gentle: "If the prince really thinks that Tianjiao is too noisy, then why not take Tianjiao to the study to sleep from tonight."

"...?"

What is this nonsense!

As we all know, throughout the ages, only men sleep in the study. How can there be any reason for the mistress to sleep in the study?

etc--

According to this, could the wife's implication be... to drive him to sleep in the study?

Is it just because of the identity and dignity of his son that his words are cryptic?

The expression on Wu Jingming's elegant face repeated.

In other words-in his wife's heart, he actually felt that he was the one who should be sent away? !

This realization made Wu Shizi tremble with fear.

What is the fatal attraction of cats?

He actually made his good wife bewitched to the point of throwing her husband away...!

...

The cool wind arrives, the cold dew grows, and the autumn colors in the city are getting stronger.

In the Xi Garden of Zhen Guogong Mansion, a layer of fallen leaves was piled under a ginkgo tree. The early morning sunlight passed through it, adding a touch of golden color to the autumn.

The little girl who was sweeping under the tree with a double bun was holding the broom in one hand, bent down and picked up a ginkgo leaf with the other hand, held it up in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, seeming to like it very much.

Xu Mingyi, who had just finished his breakfast, stood in front of the window watching this scene, and couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth.

"Girl, the servant has prepared all the snacks."

Ah Kui walked over with a food box.

"Then let's go."

Xu Mingyi withdrew his gaze and turned around.

She is going to the princess palace today.

To be precise, she was going to meet Princess Jingrong.

These days, it has been heard that the Eldest Princess is in good health, so she has not been able to wait for the opportunity to take the pulse of the Eldest Princess and check her body.

But today will be different——

Xu Mingyi took Ah Kui out of the Xi Garden, and as soon as he walked out of the inner courtyard, he saw his family Mingshi and his servant waiting outside the Chuihua Gate.

"Where are you going?" Seeing her coming out, Xu Mingshi asked seriously.

Xu Mingyi said honestly, "I'm going to the Princess's mansion."

Xu Mingshi frowned quickly.

Sure enough, he guessed it right—fortunately, Ah Jiu was smart enough, and as soon as he found that Ah Kui had gone to the kitchen to ask for a box of snacks, she ran back and told him.

Ah Jiu quietly glanced at his young master.

The girl admitted so bluntly that she was going to the eldest princess's mansion, so he just said, no one in this mansion can control the girl, so what can the young master do if he finds out? Can I still stop it? The problem is that you can't beat it.

In the next moment, Ah Jiu heard his son's tone of voice very stiffly and said——

"I also need to go."

Can't stop, can't he follow?

"...What are you going to do?" Xu Mingyi looked at him in surprise.

"I heard that there are many rare autumn chrysanthemums in the garden of the eldest princess's mansion, which are not easy to see from outside. I want to take a look." Xu Mingshi was confident.

You want to spy on her, right?

Xu Mingyi glanced at the housekeeper, knowing that she couldn't get rid of it easily, and didn't bother to waste his time, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

On the way, he did not forget to confess: "Don't teach me something that is offensive to the public—"

Those noodle bosses are very good at flattery, children tend to go astray, and if they learn badly, they can't be pulled back.

After understanding what she meant, Xu Mingshi's face darkened.

...This sentence should be said to her by him!

I have suffered from insomnia for the past few days. I took Sunflower brand sleeping pills and it didn’t work well. I didn’t dare to take heavy doses. I couldn’t sleep last night. When I woke up this morning, my eyes were inflamed, so it’s time to add more.

Say good night to everyone today.
