Regarding the southern tour, Han Xianzong did not hide his daughter.
Gu Xuan had asked him once before, and at that time he had stabilized A Xuan by saying that it would take a long time to prepare.
But now that he has made significant progress in dispatching him, he is expected to be able to travel when the weather is hot, so naturally he can no longer hide it from A-Xuan.
"Father, you promised to take me there before, but you can't go back on it." Gu Xuan hurriedly quoted Han Xianzong's previous words, for fear that he would go back on his word.
Han Xianzong did not agree immediately, but glanced at Xie Ziyue.
Seeing that his beloved concubine's expression was as usual, he nodded thoughtfully: "You have to think about it. If you go out with her, the food and clothing will not be as expensive as in the palace."
The expenses in the palace are always the best. When they go outside, they have to conceal their identity, and the food and clothing must not be the same as those in the palace.
Although he guessed that his daughter would most likely not give up, Han Xianzong decided to give her a warning first.
As expected, Gu Xuan was not affected by these words. She seemed impatient: "Then how long will it take for us to leave the palace?"
Of course, what she is most concerned about is another question - "Will the queen come with us?"
"The queen mother will not go," Xie Ziyue tried to keep her daughter in the palace: "Are you still going with me?"
"Ah——" Gu Xuan drawled her voice with a worried look on her face.
She has been taken care of by her mother since she was born. She won't be able to come back from this southern tour for a while. Doesn't it mean that she won't be able to see her mother for several months?
When she thought of this possibility, before leaving the palace, Gu Xuan was already reluctant to let go of her mother.
But she was unwilling to give up the opportunity that she finally had to go out and see things. She only wanted to go out of the palace to see the scenery outside the palace, and she had been looking forward to it a long time ago.
Gu Xuan was so entangled in her heart that she didn't even use much of her dinner.
Xie Ziyue couldn't see her being so entangled, and sighed: "If you want to go, you can go. My mother is always in the palace. If you come back later, my mother will come out of the palace to see you."
Xie Ziyue had to manage the Sixth Palace. If Han Xianzong took her away and left other concubines in the palace, everything would be in chaos.
Furthermore, giving birth to Gu Xuan took a lot of damage to Xie Ziyue's body, but she was only kept warm with good medicine in the palace to avoid any trouble.
It would not be good for her health to go out and sleep in the open air with the southern patrol team.
Xie Ziyue was originally afraid that Gu Xuan would be entangled, so she chose to compromise on her own. But as soon as her words came out, Gu Xuan, who had always been carefree, could not sleep that night. The next morning, she went to the girls' school with two dark circles under her eyes.
He Baoer looked at the blue eyes of his princess with a look of shock on his face: "Princess, did you not sleep well last night? What's wrong?"
She could eat and drink, and she didn't take anything to heart. She would fall asleep quickly while lying on the bed. She didn't understand why Gu Xuan came to school with two dark circles under her eyes.
Gu Xuan did not hide anything from He Baoer and told her all the tangles in her heart.
He Baoer frowned, with a look of confusion on his face: "Princess, although the Queen is not going, she is in the palace. When you came back from playing outside the palace, the Queen is also here."
The queen's love for the princess will not change. It would be nice for the princess to go out and see folk things.
Not to mention Gu Xuan, even He Baoer was very excited about the upcoming southern tour.
Although her home is outside the palace, it is also in the capital. I heard that the southern tour will go to many places, including the beautiful water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
He Baoer once heard his father say that it snows here in winter, but in the south there are lush trees in winter, which is a completely different scenery from here.
She was yearning for it at that time, so now she strongly supports Gu Xuan to go with him.
"Then what if the queen mother misses me?" Gu Xuan looked confused. She had been persuaded by He Baoer, and her only concern was Xie Ziyue's mood.
"Then you will leave something for the Queen to relieve her boredom?" He Baoer scratched his hair and asked uncertainly.
Gu Xuan was enlightened by this suggestion. She looked at He Bao'er with shining eyes and said sincerely: "Bao'er, you are really the smartest reading companion in the world!"
Although He Baoer didn't understand why the princess was so excited, she still held her face happily when she heard the princess's praise.
Hehe, isn't it? He Baoer is the smartest little girl in the world!
Inspired by He Baoer's suggestion, Gu Xuan decided to write a few letters every day from now on and put them in a box. After she and her father set off, her mother could read one letter every day.
If she writes more, maybe her mother will come back before she finishes reading.
Not only that, Gu Xuan also decided not to take Xiu Fu with her and let the puppy stay with the queen in Weiyang Palace.
After getting along for such a long time, Xie Ziyue, who was not very fond of Xiufu at first, now also likes this clever puppy.
Embroidering a lotus can also divert the mother's attention to a certain extent.
Gu Xuan was afraid that her mother would be bored in the palace, so she thought of many ways and wrote hard every night, even more actively than doing the homework assigned by her wife.
Of course...she was busy writing interesting letters to her mother, and the burden of homework fell on He Baoer again.
This also caused her to forget a lot of what she studied in school, laying a solid foundation for Xianzong of the Southern Tour of Han Dynasty to personally teach her.
Of course, we won’t mention it here for now.
In short... two months passed in the blink of an eye. During these two months, Gu Xuan established deep friendships with several of her friends, especially Gu Cheng and Yan Zui.
Yan Zuo and Gu Cheng were also among the teams on this southern tour. They were teenagers and the heirs proposed by their respective fathers.
Taking them on a southern tour this time was not only an experience, but also a test and recognition.
As for Han Xianzong taking Gu Xuan... it was entirely because of his love for his daughter.
The main reason is that Gu Ji is still young. Even if he is really brought out, he may not be able to remember it.
Moreover, since he is young, he is safer in the palace. If he is brought out and gets sick, no one can afford the consequences.
Han Xianzong originally didn't even want to bring Gu Xuan out, but it was a pity that Gu Xuan had his own ideas when he was older. He had promised Gu Xuan before.
So when we went on the southern tour, apart from Han Xianzong's close ministers, the only ones who played well with Gu Xuan were Yan Zui and Gu Cheng.
When going out, a carriage that is too ostentatious will attract attention, so the carriage prepared for this southern tour has a simple appearance and is no different from an ordinary carriage.
But there was a different kind of cave inside. Gu Xuan couldn't even feel any vibration while sitting in it.
