(Dear readers and friends, this book is already signed. If you have extra monthly tickets, you can vote here!)
On the fifth day of March, the day before leaving Beijing, everything inside and outside the palace was ready.

But Zhao Yanxun didn't have a chance to be idle. The two palace chiefs, Shi, came to him and asked him to check all the tasks one last time.

Zhao Yanxun could only do it himself, and spent the next day on it.

When the sun was setting in the afternoon, an imperial decree came out from the palace, ordering Zhao Yanxun to take his concubine to Xianfu Palace.

Needless to say, this must be Concubine Duan's handwriting, and she must have wanted to see her son the day before they parted.

Went to Xianfu Palace, sat with concubine Duan, and Zhao Yanxun heard her say a lot.

As for the three daughters-in-law, Concubine Duan also reminded them to take good care of Zhao Yanxun.

At the end of the chat, even the emperor came in person, which startled Xue Baoyun and the three daughters.

In the following conversation, because of the presence of the emperor Zhao Yongcheng, the three of Xue Baoyun were worried, so that the atmosphere became quite deserted.

After finally coming out of the palace, the three of Xue Baoyun breathed a sigh of relief.

It was late at night when we returned to the palace, and there was no extra activity, so Zhao Yanxun went to sleep, and they had to leave early tomorrow morning.

The night passed quickly, and in the early morning of the sixth day, Zhao Yanxun got up early and got dressed under the service of the maid.

"Your Highness... His Royal Highness has come down and is serving tea in the front hall!"

Hearing the report, Zhao Yanxun smiled slightly: "Then let him wait!"

They are about to run away, Zhao Yanxun will not give Zhao Yanjun any face, after all, the two of them are not pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Yanxun could guess that the prince personally ran over to see him off, just to show the courtiers.

Seeing how tolerant he is, with Zhao Yanxun, an ambitious brother, he can also settle his suspicions.

Thinking of these things, Zhao Yanxun would not pay attention to the other party, so he just waited if he wanted to.

Xue Baoyun, who was dressing up in the mirror, wanted to say something when he saw this situation, but he finally held back.

After dressing up, Zhao Yanxun and Xue Baojun had breakfast together before rushing to the front hall slowly.

After all, Zhao Yanxun is the prince and prince, so many people came to see him off today, and many nobles from the Hou family even sent people.

Everyone was waiting in the main hall, chatting happily among themselves, and many people gathered around Prince Zhao Yanjun.

"Morning, everyone..."

With a loud voice, everyone in the hall looked sideways.

Then, outside the hall, Zhao Yanxun, who was dressed in a purple dragon robe, stood upright, and the word "dragon and phoenix among people" popped up in everyone's minds.

"Meet Your Highness!"

After Zhao Yanxun motioned everyone to excuse him, he went straight into the hall and said, "Everyone, I have neglected you all because of some trivial matters just now, please don't be offended!"

What you said is so yin and yang, except for the honorable ministers here, don't you always go to see him?
Seeing that there was no response from the crowd, Zhao Yanxun glanced around and found Zhao Yanjun who was at the main seat in the hall.

"Oh...so it turns out that elder brother is here too. I said yesterday that elder brother is a person who wants to save face, why would he come to see me off today!"

"Sure enough, I said it!"

Zhao Yanxun's words directly exposed Zhao Yanjun's thoughts, and it can be said that he didn't talk about "martial ethics" at all.

In fact, everyone knew that the prince's visit today was an act of hypocrisy, but no one expected that Zhao Yanxun would say it directly.

At this moment in the hall, everyone present felt uncomfortable seeing this, as if they were in the center of the whirlpool.

Zhao Yanjun's face was gloomy, but after all, he is a city man who has practiced for many years, so he soon returned to normal.

Zhao Yanjun stood up, walked up to Zhao Yanxun and said, "Ninth Brother, this time we will see each other again. I don't know when we will meet again. Take care in the future!"

"Brother, take care too. Exercise more on weekdays. Only when you are in good health can you deal with problems calmly!"

What Zhao Yanxun said was the truth. Although he and Zhao Yanjun were at odds, he still hoped that the other party could last a few more days in the apocalypse. After all, we are all human beings.

But hearing these words in Zhao Yanjun's ears, it made him think that Zhao Yanxun is a broken can and has become a mad dog that bites people.

So Zhao Yanjun didn't ask for trouble. After caring about Zhao Yanxun, he left directly with his entourage.

After Zhao Yanjun left, Zhao Yanxun formally bid farewell to all the guests, including Concubine Duan's natal family.

Half an hour later, Zhao Yanxun sat alone in the carriage, his expression was extremely calm, and he was not reluctant to leave the capital.

But in the three carriages behind him, Xue Baoyun's three daughters were all surrounded by sorrow.

Even an extroverted girl like Huang Rongrong was reluctant to part with looking out the car window at this moment, the city wall of the capital was getting farther and farther away.

"Miss... don't cry!"

Lan'er, Huang Rongrong's close maid, persuaded her with distressed eyes.

In front of servants, Huang Rongrong has always been very strong.

She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, then said in a low voice, "Don't call me Miss anymore, call me Niangniang!"

Huang Rongrong is the side princess, so she should be called empress in the palace.

"Okay... Madam Rong!" Lan'er smiled and kowtowed.

Seeing Lan'er's seriousness, Huang Rongrong couldn't help but smile, and the sadness just now was diluted a lot.

And at the front, as the hostess of the palace, Xue Baoyun is also suffering from the pain of parting.

Although he was prepared in his heart, Xue Baoyun still felt uncomfortable when he really left the capital where he grew up.

"Young lady... don't be sad, you have to pay attention to your body!"

The person who said this was Xue Baoyun's maid, Yu Zhu, but now she is 25 or [-] years old, and she is an old man in Xue's family's residence.

"Parting is inevitably sad, it's okay!" Xue Baoyun squeezed out a smile.

"Your family also left, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Yuzhu is older, and in addition, she is already married and more sophisticated, so she was married to Xue Baojun as a dowry.

The reason for this arrangement is that Mrs. Yuan Pinghou felt sorry for her daughter and wanted Xue Baoyun to suffer less from staying in the palace.

Yuzhu smiled and replied: "Madam, as long as our family of three is safe, we are content!"

So Yuzhu's family members will also go to Longyou with them.

Xue Baojun nodded: "It's good to be content, and those who are content will always be happy!"

The carriage moved forward slowly, while the entire vassal team of Prince Yong's Mansion slowly marched on the official road.

Their line includes all kinds of maids and servants, as well as the guards who carry craftsmen, doctors, and their families.

The entire Wangfu team, totaling more than 3000 people, stretched for two miles.

Such a team, because there are old and weak, so the speed of the journey cannot be accelerated.

In fact, it can't be fast at all. Even if everyone rides in a carriage, the carriage will fall apart if the speed is fast.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Yanxun thought about what he should do after arriving in the fiefdom.

At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Lin Quan's voice sounded outside, "Your Highness, Chen Changhe, Eunuch Chen is here!"

Chen Changhe was the chief eunuch of Qian'an Palace, Zhao Yanxun raised the curtain of the carriage, and sure enough, he saw the old eunuch coming out of the carriage.

Zhao Yanxun got out of the carriage, he thought that Chen Changhe was here to deliver an order.

"Your Highness, don't be nervous, the emperor sent this old slave here to give His Highness a message!"

Zhao Yanxun raised his head and asked, "What instruction does the emperor have?"

"The emperor said that all the ligers and tigers in the animal training prison have been dealt with, and the emperor will pay attention to what you said!" Chen Changhe said calmly.

He didn't know the riddle between father and son, so he conveyed it in a straightforward manner.

Hearing these words, Zhao Yanxun felt very relieved, his efforts were finally not in vain, and the emperor finally listened to it.

But then he felt distressed again. If those ligers were killed by him, he could get skill points, so it would be too wasteful to be killed by others.

After Chen Changhe delivered the order, he hurried back to return his order.

This is just a small episode, Zhao Yanxun has to continue on his way.

They will head west all the way, and Longyou, thousands of miles away, is their destination.
