Chapter 248 Arrangement (please vote o^^o)

Now that the decision had been made, Emperor Qinglong no longer hesitated and began to make arrangements.

It turns out that everyone in the palace came to the palace to escape the summer heat. However, the emperor will go on an expedition in ten days and cannot leave such people alone outside the palace. Therefore, the Queen Mother and Yingying Yanyan will also return to the palace in ten days. .

"Mother, concubine, I didn't make good arrangements this time. I've disturbed your old man's well-being, and I'll have to come back from the palace in just ten days." Emperor Qinglong rushed to the Queen Mother's side immediately.

"There's nothing wrong with the Ai family. Your Majesty, you have to be careful when conducting your own expedition. Don't be careless." The Queen Mother really didn't worry about it. The Emperor's safety was the top priority.

"I understand. I have an unkind request. I will take Concubine Xi with me this time, and I will ask my mother to take care of the two children." Emperor Qinglong explained the main purpose of this visit.

"What? Your Majesty, this is unreasonable. No woman has ever gone on an expedition together in ancient times." The Queen Mother did not expect that Ruyi wanted to go together. This was too ridiculous.

"So I would like to ask the Queen Mother to help cover up something." Emperor Qinglong also did not want to bring Ruyi to the expedition to attract too much attention.

"No, Ruyi can't go." The Queen Mother was still very stubborn sometimes, and she couldn't do anything that went against the ancestral system.

"It's not that I want to go this time, and it's not that I have to take her with me. Master Yuanhai made a fortune and asked Concubine Xi to go with her." Emperor Qinglong knew that taking his concubine to the battlefield would encounter resistance from the Queen Mother's side. So I had to take the blame from Master Yuanhai.

Master Yuanhai, who was staying at the monastery on the outskirts of Beijing, sneezed once in a while and didn't know that he had become the scapegoat.

"This..." The Queen Mother was shocked and confused. Who was Master Yuanhai? It was he who predicted the extremely cold weather three years in advance.

"You also know that Master Yuanhai has great wisdom, so bringing Concubine Xi must have deep meaning." Emperor Qinglong added fuel to the fire.In fact, he didn't really want to deceive the Queen Mother. Ruyi had an intuition that he had to go.

"Hey, then be careful." The Queen Mother couldn't stop her after hearing this. "Don't worry about the two children, the Ai family will take good care of them."

Mengmeng still doesn’t know that in ten days she will not be able to see her mother-in-law for half a year, and she will still be happily playing in her small studio.I had only been in the palace for a few days, and except for that day when I was admiring lotuses, I spent most of the time in the studio.

When Ruyi entered, Mengmeng was painting.

"Concubine, Mengmeng painted the lotus pond and the concubine picking lotus pods." Mengmeng is a generous person, and she was very happy to see Ruyi sharing her painting with her concubine.

Ruyi took the painting and looked at it carefully, "Wow, Mengmeng's painting is really good."

Mengmeng smiled sheepishly.

Ruyi pulled Mengmeng to sit down: "Mengmeng, can I discuss something with you, mother concubine?"

Mengmeng didn't see Ruyi looking so serious, so she straightened herself and sat upright.

"The mother-in-law and your father will be away for a while, probably a few months to half a year." Ruyi didn't know whether Mengmeng could accept this arrangement well.

After hearing this, Mengmeng lowered her eyes and thought for a while before speaking: "Concubine, did you not eat well yesterday because you had to go out?"

"Absolutely." Ruyi was a little embarrassed.

"Does brother know?" Mengmeng asked again.

"Your brother noticed it last night and took the initiative to ask Mother and Concubine. He said he would take good care of himself and you." Ruyi didn't want to deceive or coax. She still wanted to talk to Mengmeng seriously like an adult.

"Well, Mengmeng will take care of herself and elder brother. Concubine mother, you can go with father." Mengmeng, who was five or six years old, said these things very simply.

Ruyi is a little uncertain, is she angry or is she angry?
"Mengmeng, will you blame the concubine mother?" Ruyi still asked this sentence.

"No, the mother-in-law came back in half a year, and it passed in the blink of an eye. Mengmeng has her brother with her, so the mother-in-law should stay with her father." Mengmeng looked like she knew her well.

The conversation between Ruyi and Mengmeng went very smoothly. Emperor Qinglong had a man-to-man conversation with Cheng Qian in Chaosuyuan.

"Are you sure now is the time?" Emperor Qinglong asked the question as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Yes, it's neither too early nor too late. Father, you won't think I'm young, right?" Cheng Qian smiled, his eyes bright and lively.

"Hahaha, as early as when you were three years old, Concubine Wen returned home in defeat, and even made plum blossom cakes for you. I thought you were following me, but I didn't expect you to be even better than I thought."

If Emperor Qinglong had a beard, he would have licked it a few times, but unfortunately Ruyi refused to let him grow it, saying it looked old.Once these two words come out, how dare you grow a beard?

Cheng Qian still smiled and said nothing. When he heard his father's boast, he should let him get excited. After all, he was his old father.
