The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 332 Farewell
Li Meiying stopped saluting because King Anyang stopped her. Suddenly she seemed to think of something, and asked again: "As far as I know, Princess Yongle is pregnant. Is such a body suitable for long-distance travel?"

"It's not suitable at first, but the emperor's sister-in-law asked Qingya to go to the ancient country with Princess Yongle. After Princess Yongle successfully arrived in the ancient country, Qingya will return to Lingxia with the king." Smiling, King Anyang replied indifferently .

"It is said that the maid named Qingya is proficient in medical science. With her taking care of Princess Yongle, nothing will happen. Princess Qian is really considerate." With a dazed expression, Li Meiying smiled, but felt a faint feeling in her heart. disturbed.

"The emperor's sister-in-law has always been very careful, and she is very thoughtful in everything she does. They are still waiting for news from me, so I won't worry about Mr. Ruan's painting." King Anyang smiled, then turned around and left the gazebo, heading for Ning'an Palace direction went.

As soon as King Anyang left, Li Meizhen picked up a brush to paint the portrait. In fact, there is only painting left now. There is no need for the Queen Mother to continue to sit here, she can paint the color just from memory.

When Empress Dowager Wenxian came back, the color of her entire portrait was finished. Empress Dowager Wenxian was very happy to see her lifelike self in the portrait, and praised Li Sister-in-law again and again.

Afterwards, King Qian and his wife left the palace, and Li Sister-in-law naturally accompanied them.In the next few days, Princess Qian would enter the palace every day and sit in Ning'an Palace for a while before leaving the palace to return to the palace.

The [-]th day came in a blink of an eye, and when she stepped out of the Lingxia Palace, Princess Yongle didn't know what words to use to describe her mood. Although she was happy to leave here soon, she felt faintly uneasy deep down in her heart. If you leave, nothing will happen.

"Sister Le, send me letters often in the future. Once you leave, it will be difficult for us to meet in the future." Princess Qian held Princess Yongle's hand tightly, and said with great reluctance.

Princess Yongle was also reluctant to part with Princess Qian, so she held Princess Qian's hand and said: "Sister Xue, no, if you miss me, come to the ancient country with King Qian and your children. Knowing that King Qian likes to visit beautiful landscapes, there are many good places in the ancient country."

"Xuefu, the Ai family knows that you don't want to leave, but there is always a banquet in the world. Besides, Yongle is right, you miss her, you can go to the ancient country to see her, so let Yongle set off on your way!"

Empress Dowager Wenxian spoke, Princess Qian could only let go of Princess Yongle's hand reluctantly, and Princess Yongle got into the carriage with the support of Qing Ya and another court lady Yue'er.King Anyang rode on a tall black steed, and with an order, the groom drove the carriage forward slowly, and thousands of guards followed closely behind the carriage.

Concubine Qian watched the carriage disappear, and then leaned into King Qian's arms, crying silently. The friendship between her and Yongle was beyond the comprehension of others.

"My lady, don't be sad. This separation is only short-lived. If you miss Princess Yongle, I can go to the ancient country with you as a husband." King Qian felt his beloved wife crying, so he comforted him softly.

When Princess Qian heard this, she was unable to answer, she just nodded, and then buried her head in King Qian's arms.

Because Princess Yongle was pregnant, the journey was not fast, and it took a month to reach the border of Lingxia.From Lingxia to the imperial capital of the ancient country, there are two roads, one is to take the official road, the other is the waterway. Seeing that Princess Yongle's complexion became very bad due to the continuous driving, King Anyang finally chose to take the waterway after asking Qingya's opinion. After all, it is more stable on the boat. Even if symptoms of seasickness occur, Qingya has a way to deal with it.Besides, going by water is faster, Princess Yongle wholeheartedly wants to reunite with Li Feng, so she naturally agrees to go by water.

Tonghe is the largest river in Qingcang. The river flows through various countries, so it is natural to go through the Tonghe when traveling by water. First, there are many ships on the Tonghe River. Second, there are official ships patrolling the Tonghe River, which is more secure.

King Anyang abandoned his carriage in Fengcheng and rested in the post house for two days. Seeing that Princess Yongle looked better, he ordered people to prepare a big boat, and the group boarded the boat and continued on their way.

The boat prepared by King Anyang is large and comfortable. If there is no wind and waves, you can’t feel that you are on the boat. After Princess Yongle got on the boat, she joked with Qingya and Yue’er: “You should have known that riding a boat is more comfortable than riding a carriage. , I should choose the waterway, and I have been tossed to death in a horse-drawn carriage for more than a month."

Qingya helped Princess Yongle to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Princess, you are pregnant now, let alone death, it is unlucky, but don't be too happy, once the boat encounters wind and rain I was afraid that it would shake, and it was uncomfortable at that time, anyway, now that you can eat, use more.”

Another court lady, Yue'er, was sweet and well-behaved, and usually seldom talked, now she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Princess Yongle: "Princess, have a cup of tea, Qingya specially brewed it for you, it is good for your health. "

Princess Yongle smiled, took a few sips of tea, and then said to Yue'er: "I'm a little hungry now, you can go to the kitchen on the boat to see if there is something to eat."

Yue'er saluted, then exited the room, and turned back after a while, with a food box in her hand, and said with a smile: "Prince Anyang is really careful, he is afraid that the princess will be hungry, so before boarding the boat, let the servants I bought some dim sum from the best dim sum in the city and brought them on board, and I also took some, the princess will see what she likes." As she spoke, she took out the dim sum from the food box and put them on the table one by one.

There are four plates in total, and each plate contains three different kinds of dim sum, but the portion is not too much. Princess Yongle tasted a few pieces casually, and she was full.It was rare for her to have a good appetite or a good mood, so she felt a little sleepy after eating, so she turned around and went to bed to rest.

The boat sailed smoothly for a day. In the evening, Princess Yongle had dinner with King Anyang. She stood in the cabin and breathed the fresh air for a while, then she was tired again. After washing up, I went to bed and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Princess Yongle, who was soundly asleep in the middle of the night, was awakened by a thunderclap. At this time, Qingya and Yue'er had already lit candles and were getting dressed. The two quickly tidied up, then went to the bed and whispered: "Princess, the sky has changed!" , It seems that there is a storm coming, just now the prince sent someone to pass the message, please get up and change clothes as soon as possible, the prince has ordered to find the nearest pier to stop, wait for the storm to pass, and then set sail."

Princess Yongle didn't have the time to ask more questions, so she hurriedly got up and changed her clothes, then went down to the first floor of the ship with Qingya and Yueer's support, and saw King Anyang pacing back and forth with a solemn expression, and when he saw Princess Yongle coming downstairs, he walked quickly He stepped forward and said: "Yongle, the storm is coming suddenly, I have ordered to sail into the pier to stop the boat, don't worry, it will be fine."
