Chapter 183 Arrival
Qiao Rongjin looked out through the car window, and what she saw made her eyes widen.
She was extremely shocked by the long, endless team, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really spectacular!" It was amazing that so many people gathered for just a winter hunting activity.
This was the first time she had witnessed such a grand scene since she came to ancient times.
The emperor's trip was indeed extraordinary! The huge guard of honor alone was enough to amaze people.
In addition, there were gorgeous carriages from the homes of princes and ministers, coming and going in an endless stream. The whole scene was extremely lively and exciting.
Qiao Rongjin was looking forward to this trip even more.
She had never seen what Emperor Jingyuan looked like, so she was quite curious.
Moreover, I believe that the Empress Consort Xian will also be there this time. They are all people I have never met before, and it seems that I will meet them all this time.
Seeing his excited mother, Qi You smiled. So his mother likes this kind of excitement? Then he should take his mother out to play more often in the future.
After they got together, they had no intention of leaving because Emperor Jingyuan was talking to the Crown Prince in front of them.
"Prince, all matters in the palace are now handed over to you. If there is anything that cannot be resolved, just let someone tell me." After saying this, Emperor Jingyuan patted the prince on the shoulder.
Upon hearing this, the prince smiled gently and replied respectfully, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."
This trip was something he had been planning for a long time. It was good that his father was gone. Now that he was gone, he could make good arrangements for the next trip.
However, he certainly didn't dare reveal any flaws in front of his biological father. Instead, his attitude became more humble and respectful, making it impossible for people to notice anything unusual.
Emperor Jingyuan took a deep look at the Crown Prince, who lowered his eyebrows and looked obedient, and said with a smile, "Father certainly believes that you can do a good job."
Hearing this, the prince became even more humble, but there was no happiness in his eyes, because on this trip, his father also appointed Uncle Duan to assist him, which was equivalent to doing things himself with someone always watching over him. How could the prince be happy in this situation?
After saying this, Emperor Jingyuan got on the dragon chariot without looking back, and the person sitting inside was the queen.
Among the concubines who followed him on this trip, there were only four concubines besides the queen.
As the carriage moved forward, Qiao Rongjin couldn't help falling asleep, and so did Qi You. The mother and son slept soundly amid the swaying of the carriage, as the journey was not short.
The carriage did not stop until the beginning of the Si hour.
The moment the carriage stopped, Qiao Rongjin woke up, and when he woke up, he saw his son looking at him with big eyes.
"Mom, we're here."
Qiao Rongjin stood up, a little dazed, "We're here already?"
It feels like just a nap, or maybe I got up too early today, otherwise I wouldn't be so sleepy.
"Come on, let's go down."
Soon, the mother and son got off the carriage and followed the steps of Prince Rui and the Princess towards their residence.
After a while, Qiao Rongjin saw the house that King Rui had mentioned, and his mouth opened in surprise.
This is too big and too wide!
There is also the West Mountain, which has so many forests that it feels like there is no end in sight.
Without time to be surprised, Qiao Rongjin pulled his son forward, and soon they arrived at the residence of Prince Rui.
Soon, the princess divided the rooms. Qiao Rongjin looked at where he and his son lived. Although it was not very big, it was big enough for them to live in.
Just as I was about to go in and take a look, I saw a group of people coming from the opposite direction, so I stopped and planned to take a look first.
"Hey! Fifth brother, we are really destined to meet. We live across from each other on this trip!"
The person who came had a clear voice and a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Upon hearing the voice, everyone in Prince Rui's Mansion turned around to look.
"Who was I thinking in front of? It was my second brother. It is indeed our destiny." Qi Heng said indifferently, then glanced at Qi Shao.
Afterwards, Qi Shao was the first to speak, "Nephew greets Second Uncle and Second Aunt."
Seeing Qi Shao speak, the others also started to greet him.
"Nephew greets Second Uncle and Second Aunt."
"Niece meets the Second Uncle and Second Aunt."
The princess also nodded towards the opposite side.
Seeing this, Prince Huai naturally smiled even more brightly, but the smile still did not reach his eyes. He glanced at the kids opposite him, and finally his gaze stopped on Qi You.
It's just that this little bastard is favored by his father, so it doesn't seem strange to look at him this way. The main reason is that this kid is really handsome, more handsome than any other child in the royal family. Such a handsome child must have a stunning mother. Just as I was thinking this, I saw the woman who had lowered her head beside the child raised her head.
For a moment, Prince Huai felt that his heartbeat stopped for a moment, and his eyes flashed with surprise, and he did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Qiao Rongjin felt this gaze and subconsciously looked up. Seeing that it was Prince Huai, he nodded as a sign of courtesy.
The eyes of Qi You and Qi Heng, father and son, became dangerous at the same time. Qi You tried to block his mother calmly, but due to his short stature, it was of no use.
Prince Huai quickly came back to his senses. Looking at the similar features of Qiao Rongjin and Qi You, he naturally understood who this person was, and his dislike for his fifth brother increased even more.
Such a beautiful woman turned out to be his fifth brother's concubine and had given birth to a child. How could one not sigh with regret?
Just after the descendants of Prince Huai paid their respects to Prince Rui and his wife, Qi Heng spoke.
"I have something else to do here, goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house. Seeing this, Qiao Rongjin and others also went back to their own rooms to pack their things.
Prince Huai raised his eyebrows and said to his wives, concubines and children behind him, "Let's go, pack up yourselves."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The people behind him heard what was said and responded obediently.
Princess Huai took a deep look at Qiao Rongjin's back, with a cold look in her eyes.
She saw clearly that the prince was distracted just now.
In Qiao Rongjin's room, Qinglian and others quickly packed a pile of luggage.
Just then, Xiao Shuanzi, who was beside the emperor, came.
"Empress Concubine, I am Xiao Shuanzi, the eunuch serving His Majesty. His Majesty would like to invite the Fifth Young Master over." Xiao Shuanzi said with a humble and respectful smile.
Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin looked at Aunt Wu.
She didn't know this person. The only eunuch she knew around Emperor Jingyuan was Li Jin.
Seeing this, Madam Wu leaned over to her master's ear and said, "Master, this little Shuanzi is indeed the eunuch beside His Majesty, and the only disciple of the chief eunuch Li Jin. He can be trusted."
Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin felt relieved, so he looked at his son and said, "Son, then you go."
"Okay, mother."
"Be careful over there." Although she knew that her son didn't need her to worry much, Qiao Rongjin still couldn't help but give him a warning.
"Don't worry, mother. I'll be careful." Qi You replied with a smile. He really liked the way his mother worried about him.
He turned to Xiao Yuanzi and said, "Let's go."
He didn't plan to take Zhuyun with him, and it would be best for Zhuyun to stay with her mother.
"Let Zhuyun go with them." Qiao Rongjin always felt that she would feel more at ease with Zhuyun following her.
"No need, mother. Xiao Yuanzi can do it alone."
Seeing that his son was determined to do so, Qiao Rongjin didn't say anything else. After all, they were so close to the emperor, who would have the guts to cause trouble here? Wouldn't that be courting death?
