Chapter 196 197: Yun Zhao meets an old friend
Song Yunzhao didn't bother much about the list. Although Concubine Shu wasn't too happy about it, it was sorted out. Afterwards, Song Yunzhao sent a can of jasmine tea made by himself.
Jasmine has a strong fragrance, many people like it and many people don't like it, Yun Zhao quite likes it, but it's a pity that she is pregnant and can't drink it often, so she gave the extra can to Concubine Shu.
The weather soon became hot, and it was imminent to leave the palace. Song Yunzhao got a letter from the eldest lady, which said that she had informed Song Yexi, Song Hongjiao, and Xie Linlang to go to the palace together. Let Yun Zhao feel at ease.
Song Yunzhao trusted the eldest lady, and at the end of the letter, he mentioned the words that Song Sanye asked the eldest lady to convey. He was very worried that Yunzhao would accompany the driver even if she was pregnant, and asked her to put her body first and not to be brave along the way.
Song Yunzhao narrowed his happy eyes when he saw this, it feels so good to be remembered.
On the day of leaving the palace, since everyone had to go with the queen mother, the waiting time would inevitably be longer.
Song Yunzhao joined the crowd in Shouci Palace, seeing all the people he hated were present, the smile on his face couldn't be held anymore.
Before Song Yunzhao took his seat, Meng Jiuchang came, and before the Queen Mother came out, Mother Yao stepped forward, "Boss Meng, the Queen Mother hasn't cleaned up yet, I'm afraid we have to wait."
Meng Jiuchang's smile remained unchanged, "The Empress Dowager just clean up slowly, the servants are here to pick up Song Zhaoyi by the order of the emperor."
Nurse Yao was taken aback, "Pick up Song Zhaoyi?"
"Yes, the emperor said that going to the palace has complicated etiquette, and Song Zhaoyi is pregnant, and the imperial doctor said not to work hard, for fear of harming the fetus in the womb. Therefore, His Majesty authorized Song Zhaoyi to wait in the car, and asked Mother Yao to convey that the servants are on an errand, so we will send Zhaoyi to the car first."
The hall was quiet, and everyone's expressions were brilliant.
Song Yunzhao was also very surprised, he didn't expect Feng Yi to be so caring, he thought of such a thing.
Before Nanny Yao spoke, Meng Jiuchang had already stepped up to greet Song Yunzhao, "Master Zhaoyi, please, please, the soft sedan chair is waiting outside."
Song Yunzhao naturally ran away when he encountered such a good thing, and immediately followed in Meng Jiuchang's footsteps.
When Song Yunzhao left, the hall was silent.
Concubine Zhuang stared at Song Yunzhao's leaving back for a long time, and when she turned her head, she looked at Concubine Shu beside her and said softly, "This Song Zhaoyi is really amazing."
Concubine Shu couldn't hear such words, and immediately said, "If Concubine Zhuang is envious, then hurry up and get pregnant with one, and the emperor will definitely not forget you."
Concubine Zhuang: …
Concubine Wan glanced at the two of them, thinking of Concubine Shu's mouth, she pursed her lips and did not speak, but her mood was inevitably affected, and even the joy of going to the palace was a little less.
It doesn’t matter whether you go or not. You can’t easily see the emperor in the palace, and you may not see people often in the palace.
Song Yunzhao was happily sent to the carriage, and Meng Jiuchang said in front of the carriage: "The emperor said, it's still early when we leave, Zhaoyi can take a nap in the carriage first."
"There is Manager Lao Meng, I have nothing else to do here, go get busy, the emperor can't do without you." Song Yunzhao now looks very pleasing to Meng Jiuchang.
Meng Jiuchang saluted and resigned.
After all the things were loaded into the car, Zhang Maoquan breathed a sigh of relief, and called Nanny Yu to tell him to run to Tai Chi Palace.
Song Yunzhao sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look out. Soldiers were passing by constantly. From time to time, some people passed by on horseback. From a distance, they saw a somewhat familiar figure walking towards him.
Waiting a little closer, Song Yunzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, it turned out to be Chu Donghui.
Meet him outside the palace, he is Ji Yunting's friend, but looking at his clothes, he seems to be an imperial guard. It seems that he is one of the escorts on the road this time.
Chu Donghui is also very capable to get in front of the emperor.
Chu Donghui didn't notice Song Yunzhao, but directed people to check the vehicles, travel routes, and check for dangers. His handsome face was tense, and his eyes were sharp.
He like this is quite different from the last time Yun Zhao saw him.
Chu Donghui is a generous person, and he always pays attention to casualness in doing things, but the errands he is doing now cannot be left to him, which is very interesting to think about.
Escorting along the way is not an easy job.
Song Yunzhao lowered the curtain, as a concubine, she should not have any contact with foreign ministers.
Xiangxue straightened the car curtain, and said, "Master, why don't you rest for a while, the slaves just got out of the car and inquired about it, the departure is still early. The emperor has to go to the harem to invite the empress dowager, and then the courtiers have to see him off. If we leave the capital, it may take noon."
Song Yunzhao thought so too, half-lying on the soft pillow, and said to Xiangxue: "You four come out in one shift, you don't have to stay here, this carriage is small, and you are not comfortable."
Xiangxue nodded, "Yes, this servant will get out of the car in a while to handle this matter."
"Tell Mammy Yu that you don't have to come if you have nothing to do. Mammy is much older than you. This journey is not easy. If there is something to do, it will not be too late for her to come here."
"Master is sympathetic, Yuma will be moved to tears when she finds out." Xiangxue said with a smile.
There was an ice basin in the carriage. This was because Song Yunzhao got on the carriage and Meng Jiuchang sent someone to deliver it. It was not so comfortable on the road. The supply of ice would not be so sufficient, so the queen mother and the emperor had to use it first.
Song Yunzhao slowly closed his eyes, and when she woke up, the carriage hadn't moved yet, but fortunately the Queen Mother and others had already boarded the carriage, and Xiangxue and Qingfeng also came up after lifting the curtain.
"Master, are you awake?" Xiangxue said hastily.
Song Yunzhao sat up, "What time is it?"
"It's noon, and we're about to start. Sit down, master." Xiangxue hurriedly took a soft pillow and put it behind the master, "I heard from the imperial guards that the delay was a bit long, and I'm afraid you'll have to rush on the road. Fortunately, your carriage was newly made by Shang Gongju, and the emperor ordered that it be wrapped in leather, otherwise the road would be uncomfortable."
Yes, there is another way to reduce shock in ancient times, that is to wrap the wheels with leather, which is really a luxury.
This treatment is the queen mother, the emperor added her, she was blessed because of her pregnancy, otherwise this treatment would not be her turn.
Moreover, her carriage is equipped with a rabbit and a rabbit, so the road will not be too bumpy. Sure enough, when the carriage starts running, it is much more comfortable than the one she was riding in when she first came to Beijing, and she didn't feel too much discomfort.
He stopped and stopped along the way, and Song Yunzhao often saw Chu Donghui running back and forth with people. He was such a handsome guy, and his skin peeled off after a few days of work. The royal errands are not easy to handle.
Fortunately, we will be in the palace soon.
