In the third month of Yangchun, Emperor Yan Xiu, together with his ministers, family members, and Jiawei, totaling ten thousand people, embarked on the first eastward tour in the history of the Qin Dynasty.
The mighty chariots and horses set out from Xijing, passing through Shangzhou, Dongdu, Bianzhou and other places, all the way eastward. Due to the large team, the march was slow, and they had to go to Mount Tai for Buddhist worship. It took about two months to reach Langya.
The moment they left the gate of Xijing City, countless young women who had never set foot in a distant place were excited. In the second half of the queue, away from the royal carriage, if you listen carefully, you can even hear them opening the windows and saying hello to each other from a distance.
"It's so noisy that I can't calm down for a moment." Zhu Siying sat in Zhu Sijia's carriage and closed the window angrily, "Sister, can you go and tell them to shut up? Just say they are disturbing. Holy Master."
Zhu Siying had not been fond of riding in carriages since she was a child. As soon as she got on the carriage, she felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. She could suffer from it after just a few hours of sitting.
Now she has to sit for two whole months, and she can't stand it just two hours after setting off.
I originally thought that I would simply sleep through the whole trip, but who would have thought that those ladies in the boudoir were so unruly, they were like wild horses running loose when they left Xijing City, and they all happily forgot about their manners.
Zhu Sijia and Zhu Ya looked at each other and stopped chatting. The two of them had a clear understanding of each other and stared at Zhu Siying silently without making a sound.
Zhu Siying was numbed by the gazes of the two of them and asked stiffly: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhu Sijia lightly knocked on the car wall: "Is it noisy?"
Zhu Siying shook her head: "Of course there won't be any noise."
Zhu Scarlett: "How does it compare to the sound of a carriage moving?"
Zhu Siying: "Of course the sound of wheels rolling over the dusty ground is louder. Sister, you can say it clearly if you want to say it."
Zhu Sijia smiled and said nothing, and Zhu Ya answered for her: "Miss Third, I want to remind you that your heart is not quiet, so the sounds of all things are in your ears, but you only hold on to their voices. "
Zhu Siying lowered her head in shame: "I didn't target them deliberately, but just thinking about the two months of such hard days, I got angry. It's only been two hours, and my butt hurts."
When it comes to comfort, Zhu Scarlett's carriage is probably even better than Yan Xiu's. Yan Xiu is afraid that she will be tired from the journey, so he buys the best things from her first.
Zhu Sijia said helplessly: "If I had known you were so coquettish, I wouldn't have asked His Majesty to take you out. It's still too late for you to return to the capital, but I have to send someone to inform the Marquis of Chiayi first so that he doesn't have to be there. Waiting on the road."
Zhu Siying blinked: "He wants to go to Qidi too? Doesn't he want to stay in Yong'an City?"
Zhu Ya: "Zhou Di is not as troublesome as Qi Di. The eastward patrol is a big deal, and Hai Xie will bring together many heroes. It would be a pity if he doesn't go."
Zhu Siying immediately got up, went to the small cabinet in the car to find a book, and started flipping it with relish:
"My sister's carriage is smooth and comfortable. It's more than enough to make tea and play the piano while sitting in it. Others will never have the opportunity to ride in it once in their lifetime. How can I dare to be dissatisfied?"
She has grown up a lot, but she still has the heart of a child, but a girl of her age should be so lively, right?
Zhu Sijia and Zhu Ya were amused by her, and several people were chatting in the car. After another hour, the team stopped to rest and reorganize. Zhu Sijia stretched her body and was about to go out. She said to Zhu Ya and Zhu Siying:
"I was supposed to ride with Your Majesty, but Your Majesty thought that we sisters rarely get together, so he specifically asked you two to follow me. I will accompany Your Majesty on the rest of the way, and you two can just sit in this car without any worries. "
Zhu Siying quickly admitted her mistake: "Sister, but what I said just now made you sad? I'm sorry, I won't be disappointed next time."
Zhu Ya was winking at her desperately, but she couldn't understand.
Zhu Sijia said bluntly: "How can I care about these trivial things? I'm just worried that Your Majesty will have no one to accompany you."
It is true that she wants to accompany Yan Xiu, and it is also true that she wants to make the journey of Zhu Siying and Zhu Ya more comfortable. Although the carriage is spacious, it does tend to be noisy when there are more people. Zhu Siying will probably suffer a lot during this trip.
Zhu Siying suddenly realized: "So you are thinking of Your Majesty, okay, I won't disturb the affection between you and your wife."
Zhu Sijia stepped out of the carriage with a smile, held up her skirt, and walked slowly across the dirt. Suiyu followed her tacitly.
The two of them walked all the way to Yan Xiu's carriage and took a break, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Hu Shunhai was respectfully outside the carriage. When he saw Zhu Sijia coming, he stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is in the carriage."
Zhu Scarlett: "Won't he come down to get some air?"
Hu Shunhai chuckled and said, "You will understand it yourself when you go up."
With a puzzled look on her face, Zhu Scarlett slowly climbed onto the short ladder and climbed into the carriage. Yan Xiu's carriage was tall enough for him to walk in it without any hindrance, so the carriage door was made extremely thick and she had to force it open.
As soon as the door was opened, light filtered into the car from the door, and the first thing that caught the eye were two furry heads, which sweetly shouted to Zhu Sijia:
"aunt--"
Looking around, I saw Yan Xiu sitting on the couch with a dull expression, with a sluggish expression on his face. There were small footprints everywhere on the mysterious clothes on his body, and the book in his hand was not stable and seemed to be crumbling.
Huaijin and Huaiyu were climbing all over his body like monkeys climbing trees.
Zhu Sijia suddenly appeared, as if he had caught a savior, his eyes were shining, he quickly pulled Huaijin Huaiyu off, and said fiercely:
"Your aunt is here, go back."
Huaijin was so aggrieved that he almost shed tears: "Three hours ago, my uncle said he was bored and called us into the carriage, but now he doesn't want us anymore."
Yan Xiu grabbed them one by one and carried them out. He saw the broken white jade under the carriage and said to the two of them: "Take them back to the carriage of the eldest princess's residence."
Bai Heng and Suiyu followed suit.
When the carriage was completely clear, Yan Xiu closed the door tightly, strode towards Zhu Sijia, hugged her tightly and refused to let go:
"Why are you here? I thought you wouldn't even come to see me in the past two months, and you would only care about your little sister."
Zhu Sijia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The tip of her nose was almost scratched by his clothes. She pushed Yan Xiu away slightly: "Xuanzhi, I decided to ride with you."
Yan Xiu: "Really? You are not allowed to go back on your word. Once you get into my carriage, you are not allowed to go back. Cicada will stay with me all the way to Langya."
He was afraid that Scarlett would be bored on the road, so he reluctantly gave up his love and let her sit with the female family members. He was prepared to be alone along the way.
When setting off today, Yan Xiu suddenly thought of grabbing Huaijin and Huaiyu into the carriage to relieve his boredom.
Unexpectedly, these two children were very active, and they usually only teased them a few words, but after spending more than half an hour with them, Yan Xiu felt that life was difficult.
Zhu Scarlett smiled and said: "Okay, I promise you."
Yan Xiu pulled her to sit down: "How about warming up some wine? Warm yourself up."
Although it's not cold inside the car, it's not as comfortable as in the palace.
Zhu Sijia bit her lip: "I am not good at drinking."
Yan Xiu: "Good boy, it's rare for you and me to be alone, so drink more."
If she wasn't drunk, how could it be easy to bully her? There is no reason not to eat the fat meat that comes to your mouth.
