Chapter 357
Chen Xiao and Cui Xin took a pair of children and more than thirty entourages, and quietly left Beijing in the dark.

In addition to the dozen or so first-class guards brought by Lin Rao, these entourages also included carefully selected accompanying officials from the six ministries, two imperial physicians, and the cook from Shangshi Bureau.The rest are palace servants who serve the two of them.

The accompanying officials did not follow the Supreme Emperor to travel around the mountains and rivers. They followed the Supreme Emperor wherever they went, not only to record the local customs, but also to visit the people and check the flood control embankment there.

Furthermore, Chen Xiao is going to the border to redraw the territory of Liang Kingdom. Therefore, he has to go to Beirong, Nanjiang and Xiling, the three borders of Liang Kingdom, to measure and draw new maps.

Therefore, the first stop of Chen Xiao's trip was Beirong, his base.

Chen Ling was not in a hurry, she almost always traveled at sunrise and rested at sunset.

Not only that, the wind and rain do not hurry.

Everywhere he went, he stopped for a few days and took Cui Xin for a walk.

The accompanying civil and military officials acted as Taifu to teach the little prince and princess how to practice literature and martial arts.

There are no other concubines in the palace, so there are no rivers and lakes, no intrigues and secrets.

Cui Xin is worried about raising the children to be naive and ignorant of worldly affairs. Without the blessing of their parents, there will be no bones left that were designed by someone with a heart.

Cui Xin didn't expect the pair of sons and daughters to help the eldest son, who is now the new emperor, when they grow up.

But, you can't hold back, can you?
Besides going to the study every day, the second eldest Yinger and the third eldest Yuer are also taught by Cui Xin himself, so Cui Xin is not worried that they will grow up crooked.

It is said that the second son Yu'er resembles Chen Xiao, with a calm temper and decisive actions. However, he made a completely different choice. When he was a teenager, he went to the border and practiced for several years.

Since then, he has been guarding the great rivers and mountains for the Liang Kingdom. Under such circumstances, the second son was extremely capable, witty and courageous, but he never had any inappropriate thoughts.

He treats his eldest brother, that is, Chen Jing, very close.

The eldest daughter, Ying'er, is a peculiar one. She doesn't care about female celebrities, and she doesn't like to be good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like other noble girls from aristocratic families.

She seems to have inherited all the artistic qualities of Chen Xiao and Cui Xin. She has had a romantic and free-spirited temperament since she was very young.

He likes landscapes, and he paints superb paintings with one hand.

Before Chen Xiao and Cui Xin left the palace, they took the second son of Jiang Jianyu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, as his son-in-law.

This prince-in-law was also Ying'er's favorite, and after their marriage, the two of them sang in harmony.Don't worry about Cui Xin.

So, when Cui Xin traveled with Chen Xiao, he must be worried about the two younger ones, and wanted to bring them with him to raise them.

Leaving aside the gossip, on this day Chen Xiao brought his wife and children to a small border town named Jiqing with beautiful scenery. Chen Xiao planned to stop for a few days before rushing on.

So, Lin Rao went to book the largest inn in the city.

It was mid-February, which was the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, and the flowers here bloomed earlier than in the capital.

To say that this small county of Jiqing is located in a remote and remote area, surrounded by mountains, and a great river passes through it. Although it is not a prosperous and prosperous place, it is also like a paradise with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

In addition, it was a small border town, so there were not many guests in the inn, and Lin Rao spent money to send the few guests to other small inns.

After the emperor and his entourage entered the inn, they went to bathe and change clothes as usual.

The palace people hurriedly replaced all the supplies in the master's guest room, and the kitchen was also replaced with the royal chef of the palace, preparing to cook dinner for the masters.

The lady proprietress of the inn saw that they were distant visitors who were either rich or expensive, the lady proprietress did not dare to talk to Chen Xiao and Cui Xin, the aura of the two of them was too frightening.

I only kindly suggested to Nanny Li in the palace: "Your Majesty, today is our auspicious annual Flower Festival on February [-]th. The Flower Festival is the birthday of hundreds of flowers. It is very lively during the best time for sightseeing. The streets are very lively." There are also a lot of snacks on sale that you can’t usually eat.”

The little prince Chen Jian and the little princess Chen Fu immediately jumped for joy. They had not ridden in a carriage in the past few days and rode with their parents. It was really hard for their little bodies and they were working very hard. They really wanted to comfort themselves with a delicious meal. .

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled, and hurried to find their mother.

The night is all together, and the lights are just coming on.

Chen Xiao dismissed the attendants and maids, and he and Cui Xin walked side by side into the bright lights and surging crowds of Jiqing Town with their son and daughter, dressed in black robes and moon frost.

The small county is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the jade tower and golden palace are hidden in the night.As the spring breeze blows, various flowers bloom on the branches, and there are skillfully woven flower lamps hanging on the branches, fluttering in the wind.

There are many shops on the street, and the market is bustling.Chen Ling remained calm, protecting Cui Xin by his side.Surrounded by hidden guards.

Tourists passed by constantly, with the joy and leisure of a spring outing. Occasionally, some people turned their heads and cast appreciative glances at this family of four with outstanding appearance and demeanor.

Chen Xiao and Cui Xin were in good health, and suddenly they felt that they were only in their twenties or thirties. If it wasn't for the presence of a ten-year-old son and daughter, they would really look like a young married couple.

Cui Xin is combing a woman's bun, half-tied her long hair, and twisted the top of her hair into a Chaoyunjinxiang bun, with a magnolia carved from mutton fat jade on an oblique hairpin.Passers-by only regard the two of them as couples traveling together during the festive season.The gazes they cast are either curious, envious, or teasing, and most of them are friendly.

Cui Xin was a little shy, and turned her head to look at Chen Ling, but saw that his face was as sinking as water, and he was calm to hide his cold edge.

Cui Xin approached him for half a step without any trace, protruded softly, and hooked his two slender fingers.

The sky is full and the moon is full, and the flowers in the world are good.

"Third brother, look, there are people playing with fire-breathing!" Chen Fu pointed forward with her small hand and shouted excitedly.

Following the direction of her sister's fingers, Chen Yu saw juggling in front of her. Rope jumping, rope jumping, sumo wrestling, drumming, etc. were all folk arts. The siblings had never seen this before, and they both enjoyed it.

On both sides of the street, there are small vendors selling rouge and gouache, fan curtains for clothes and hats, colorful brocade jewellery, refreshments and candied fruits, seasonal fruits, everything you need. The loud shouts of vendors spread from the street to the end of the alley.

The shouting attracted the greedy brothers and sisters, but their father refused to eat from the roadside stalls.

"Later, Daddy will take you to a restaurant for dinner." Chen Ling said aloud when she saw a pair of children staring at the food stall with small eyes.

Cui Xin took out copper coins and bought a candied haws for each of the brothers and sisters to satisfy their hunger first.

Among the crowded crowd tonight, there are quite a few figures in pairs, young lovers who took advantage of this good night to meet, they walked side by side, and occasionally a man could be seen sneaking up on a girl under the cover of his robe Rou Wen, both of them lowered their heads, their faces were flushed with green and pure joy.
