Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 396 Leaving Beijing
The emperor was still in existence, and Prince Zuo was only the regent. He had not yet fully grasped the power, and he only dared to secretly trip up the neutral ministers.

For example, he asked Yun Hao to leave Beijing and go to southern Fujian to inspect the coastal defense.

Southern Fujian, this coastal territory, has always been an important coastal defense area and was guarded by Jingbian Hou.

Inspecting coastal defense has always been the responsibility of the Ministry of War and the Dali Temple, but the commander of the Longting Guard has a special status and can inspect the four directions on behalf of the emperor. Moreover, Prince Zuo also hinted that what he wanted Yun Hao to inspect was not the coastal defense, but the Marquis of Jingbian.

This was within Yun Hao's scope of responsibility. Even if he knew that Prince Zuo had other intentions, he had to leave the capital and go to southern Fujian.

Zhao Wangshu knew that Yun Hao was going to southern Fujian, so he was busy helping him pack his luggage. "It's hot in southern Fujian, so you don't need to bring thick clothes."

"No, no, southern Fujian is close to the sea, the sea breeze is very strong, and it is cold at night. We still need to prepare some warm clothes." Zhao Wangshu put out some thick clothes again.

Yun Hao sat on the couch, holding his son, and watched her busying in and out with tender eyes.

Zhao Wangshu packed his luggage and came over. "Yunhao, the journey to southern Fujian is long. Prince Zuo must have bad intentions in asking you to leave the capital. Will he send someone to attack you on the way?"

Yun Hao smiled and shook his head. "Prince Zuo wants to use me to deal with Marquis Jingbian. He won't attack me on the way."

Zhao Wangshu was still worried, "It's better to be careful. Remember to bring more people."

Yun Hao held her hand and smiled gently, "Don't worry, I will."

"Also, when you get to southern Fujian, you must be careful of Jingbian Hou. He has guarded southern Fujian for many years and has a deep foundation. He controls the southern Fujian navy. Don't go head-on with him." Zhao Wangshu warned. . "

"Don't worry, I will handle it carefully." Yun Hao stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit beside him. "Besides, I will not go to southern Fujian alone. I will bring two teams with me, one in the open and one in the dark."

"And if Marquis Jingbian is loyal, he will not be afraid of the court's investigation. But if he has evil intentions, even if this incident did not happen, the court will take action against him sooner or later."

Zhao Wangshu felt relieved after hearing this, but still a little reluctant. "Yunhao, you must be careful. The children and I are waiting for you at home."

Yun Hao held her hand and said gently, "I will be careful. You should also be careful in the capital and beware of Prince Zuo's people."

"I know." A sly smile flashed across Zhao Wangshu's eyes. "Prince Zuo is busy with government affairs. I'm afraid he has no time to pay attention to a little woman like me. But Zhao Jiahua might come here to show off his power."

"If you want to see me, then see me. If you don't want to see me, then just refuse me. There's no need to put yourself in a difficult position." Yun Hao said with a smile.

"I'm free anyway, so it might be nice to tease her a little." Zhao Wangshu said with a coquettish smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, filling the room with brightness.

Little Yunyu, who was playing with a little tiger doll, cried out twice, reminding his parents not to forget him.

Zhao Wangshu looked down and said, "Son, you can't eat this."

The little tiger's ears were wet from being bitten by him.

"Is he hungry?" Yun Hao asked.

"He's not hungry, he's just starting to grow teeth, so I need to make some teething sticks for him." Zhao Wangshu was thinking about the ingredients of modern teething sticks.

But she never expected that after the teething stick was made, Yao Shanzhi started to eat it before Xiao Yunyu could eat it.

The day after Yun Hao left for southern Fujian, Yao Shanzhi came running over. Seeing the teething sticks on the kang table, he grabbed two and stuffed them into his mouth. "What is this? It's not sweet and hard."

"It's a teething stick for your godson." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"Ah!" Yao Shanzhi quickly put the thing in his hand back.

"It's okay. I made a lot. Eat whatever you want."

Yao Shanzhi shook his head, "No matter how greedy I am, I won't snatch food from my godson." He frowned, "It's just that it's so hard, how can he eat it?"

She chewed with some difficulty.

"It's for him to grind his teeth." Zhao Wangshu explained. Yao Shanzhi said in surprise: "Yu'er has grown teeth."

"It's time for teeth to grow. You can see small white spots on the gums." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"I'll take a look later." Yao Shanzhi said excitedly.

Zhao Wangshu laughed dumbly, "Okay."

After a while, the nanny brought the sleeping little Yunyu over.

"Yu'er, come here quickly and let your godmother see your little teeth." Yao Shanzhi said impatiently.

Zhao Wangshu held his son in his arms and asked Yao Shanzhi to look at Yun Yu's gums. "See? There's a little white spot there."

Yao Shanzhi leaned over, took a closer look, and said in surprise: "Really, Yu'er, when your teeth grow fully, your godmother will take you to eat all over the capital."

Zhao Wangshu smiled but said nothing. She was not worried at all that her son would be eaten by Yao Shanzhi and become a little fat boy. People who practice martial arts consume a lot of energy, and with such good genes as her and Yun Hao, her son would only be a handsome boy who is both civil and military.

Yao Shanzhi had lunch at Yun's house and took a box of teething sticks home. The reason was, "These teething sticks are hard and tasteless at first, but the more you chew them, the better they taste."

The next day, Zhao Jiahua came uninvited.

Last time she sent a visiting card, and this time she came directly to the door. It can be seen that with the improvement of Prince Zuo's status, Zhao Jiahua has become more and more flamboyant.

"The beauty of our first meeting is now gone." Zhao Wangshu sighed in a low voice.

"Young Madam, do you want to see me?" Lan Fen asked.

Although Zhao Wangshu wanted to make fun of Zhao Jiahua, he would not let Zhao Jiahua take advantage of him. "You came here suddenly without a visiting card. You are an uninvited guest. I will not see you."

"Yes, Madam." Lan Fen bowed and turned to walk out.

"Young Madam, Lan Fen is young and I'm afraid she can't handle it. Let me go." Madam Qiao said.

Zhao Wangshu looked up at her and smiled slightly, "Go ahead."

Mrs. Qiao hurried out and caught up with Lan Fen, "You go back and serve the young lady, I'll go see that Madam Zhao."

"Okay." Lan Fen agreed happily.

Zhao Jiahua was dressed up this time, more luxuriously than last time, in a rose-red, fur-lined, double-breasted brocade robe and a navy blue long skirt embroidered with intricate peony flowers.

She wore several golden hairpins on her head and a gilded fairy hairpin, and her whole body was adorned with jewels.

"Why are you here? Where is your young lady?" When Zhao Jiahua saw that it was Madam Qiao, his face changed immediately.

"The young lady is entertaining guests and it is not convenient to see you. Madam Zhao, please go back and come back another day." Madam Qiao bowed and said with a bit of apology on her face.

"I don't know, which distinguished guest is your young lady receiving?" Zhao Jiahua asked sarcastically.

"Sorry, this is not something you should ask about, ma'am." Mrs. Qiao replied with a smile.

"Does your young mistress not want to see me? Does she think that I am living a better life than her and she is jealous of me, so she deliberately refuses to see me?" Zhao Jiahua asked sternly.

"Mrs. Zhao, you misunderstood. The young lady didn't mean that. She was just entertaining guests and it was not convenient for her to see you." Mrs. Qiao insisted on this reason.

"If I can't see her today, I won't leave." Zhao Jiahua said shamelessly.

Mrs. Qiao said no more and stood aside. When the cup was empty, she asked someone to bring more tea.

Zhao Jiahua drank a few cups of tea, then felt the urge to go to the bathroom. He went to the bathroom and left in disappointment, saying, "I'll come back tomorrow."
