The next day, Chu Shaoling really ordered Wang Muhan to pack some things, greeted the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and then left the palace with the guard. The Qianshou Palace is more than 50 miles away from the imperial city, and no matter how fast the carriage was, it would take three or four hours.

It's already July, and the weather is getting a little hot. Chu Shaoling ordered someone to prepare two basins of ice on the car. Seeing that there was still some sweat on Wei Ji's forehead, Chu Shaoling smiled lightly: "Forget it, I won't go out anyway. You take off your whole body. Wear the same one when you get to the place."

Going out, Wei Ji was wearing the third-rank brocade robe official uniform of a first-class guard. Even though it was summer, the clothes were three layers inside and outside, and it was too hot to cover. Wei Ji shook his head. No matter how undressed it is, the eldest brother has not said anything while drying outside.

Chu Shaoling set up the window lattice to have a look, and said: "Be patient, it will be cool when you get to the palace, the weather there is good, the palace is surrounded by mountains and rivers, so it won't be so hot."

Wei Ji nodded, he had been looking forward to going there for a long time in his heart, Chu Shaoling said that when he got there, he sent all the waiters away, and the two of them were alone together, playing freely.

An hour later, at noon, the accompanying maid brought over the snacks and meat and vegetarian snacks. Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji didn't get out of the car, but asked someone to bring in the food box. Chu Shaoling opened the food box and took a look. Bring out a plate of crab cakes and a bowl of bad quail, and order someone to deliver them to Wei Zhan, chuckling: "Your elder brother has worked hard this trip, let him rest when he gets to the palace."

Wei Ji nodded and smiled, the maid didn't come in, Wei Ji served the dishes by himself, sat in the carriage for a whole noon and neither of them was hungry, after a little use they were taken away, and after they were full they leaned on the carriage. Talking and talking, I fell asleep while talking, and it was time to wake up again.

The officials and attendants of the palace had been waiting since the morning, and when they saw the convoy coming, they rushed out to greet them and stood up according to their grades to greet them. Chu Shaoling hadn’t been here for nearly ten years, and he was a little dazed looking at the majestic gate of the palace. The two words are already somewhat mottled. Chu Shaoling still remembers that this is a plaque written by the emperor himself at that time. Fengyi is auspicious, and Qianfu Yongshou is a promise made by the young emperor to his mother. But ten years later, things are different.

Chu Shaoling was fascinated by the word "Thousands of Life", Wang Muhan approached and whispered, "Your Highness?"

Chu Shaoling ordered everyone to stand up, and said calmly: "This plaque is a little old, take it down and touch up the gold paint..." The chief executive of the palace quickly bowed his head and said yes.

The "Haiyan" hall was prepared for Chu Shaoling. Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji entered the dormitory and took a shower and changed their clothes. Wei Ji washed and came out first. Looking at Wei Zhan outside, Wei Ji hurriedly approached and chuckled: " Why did eldest brother come here? Your Highness will have to wait a while before coming out."

Wei Zhan pulled Wei Ji to a secluded place, and said, "I'm here to find you, this..."

Wei Zhan took out a stack of bank notes and handed them to Wei Ji, and said in a low voice, "Father sent someone to bring this back to you a few days ago and asked me to give it to you. Father said that he is very good in office, and I am very grateful for the kindness of the prince. Let you find a suitable time to give these bank notes to the prince."

Wei Ji was a little embarrassed, but his father's words were not pleasant, so he had to take it and nodded: "I understand."

He heard the rumors that the emperor was going to choose Chu Shaoling a concubine when he was out of the city, and now his mind is full of this matter. He wanted to mention something to his younger brother, but seeing Wei Ji like this, he couldn't bear to say it anymore, so he just said: "In front of His Highness Serve well, if... If there is any grievance, don't hold back, tell brother."

Wei Ji smiled: "Brother was joking, there is nothing I don't like, Your Highness..." Poor Wei Ji thought that only he and Chu Shaoling knew about it, so he was embarrassed to tell his eldest brother, so he just laughed, "Your Highness is kind, I won't be wronged."

Wei Zhan was preoccupied, he was jealous of Chu Shaoling and he didn't dare to say anything else, so he nodded, "You... cherish yourself."

Wei Ji chatted with Wei Zhan for a while, thought for a while and took out half of the wad of money in his arms, seeing that no one around gave it to Wei Zhan, and said softly: "Brother, take it yourself, I still have money in my pocket." There are a lot of bank notes, I just need to add them myself." The bank notes for Wei Ming to honor Chu Shaoling last time are still in Wei Ji's hands, and Wei Ji spends his food and clothing in Bitao Garden on weekdays, and there is no one to honor him, no place for him Yes, but Wei Zhan is different. He just became a commander, and there are many places to be managed up and down. Wei Ji saw that Wei Zhan refused to accept it, and said softly: "It's okay, I really have it."

Wei Zhan probably guessed what was going on, and secretly felt that Chu Shaoling really treated Wei Ji well, but when he thought about choosing a concubine, his heart became heavy again.

Wei Ji went back to the hall heartlessly and looked through his luggage, filled up the bank notes given to Wei Zhan, wrapped them inside, and Chu Shaoling had just taken a bath, and Chu Shaoling had already sent away all the servants, leaving only After leaving the imperial guards, Wei Ji approached and waited on Chu Shaoling to change his clothes. He took out the bank note, a little embarrassed, and said, "Your Highness... this is brought back by my father, let me give it to Your Highness..."

Chu Shaoling took some of it, put it back into Wei Ji's arms, and smiled lightly: "Understood, I put it away as pocket money."

Wei Ji was embarrassed to take it again, and refused for a while, until he was kissed by Chu Shaoling. He was speechless, and Chu Shaoling rubbed Wei Ji's head, this stupid thing.

Chu Shaoling turned around and lifted the window lattices one by one, Wei Ji looked at the lake outside and smiled: "Your Highness...is there any fish in this lake? I will fish for Your Highness."

Chu Shaoling smiled: "There are quite a few koi. I don't remember any other fish, but there seem to be some shrimps. How do I catch them?"

"Shrimp can also be caught. I used to catch it when I was a child." Wei Ji was eager to try, "It's more convenient than fishing."

It was rare for Wei Ji to be in such a good mood, Chu Shaoling ordered someone to prepare all the fishing equipment, and the two went to a pavilion by the lake together, Chu Shaoling put bait on the hook and put down the hook, and sat down to watch Wei Ji catch shrimp.

Wei Ji went to the lake to break a few willow sticks, and while plucking down the leaves, he walked into the pavilion. Chu Shaoling looked amused: "Take this for fishing? Do you care about me?"

Wei Ji smiled: "Take care, talk to me."

Wei Ji removed most of the leaves from the willow branches, picked out the prepared bait, picked up a few pieces of chicken hearts, carefully strung them on the willow branches, took a net bag, and went down the steps in the pavilion , Go to the place next to the water and squat down, put the willow branch into the water.

Chu Shaoling was worried that he was too close to the water, so he also walked down. Wei Ji turned his head and smiled at Chu Shaoling, and turned his head to look at the water intently.

Not long after, a few shrimps swam over and came to the side of the chicken to eat. Wei Ji held a wicker in his left hand and a net bag in his right, and slowly moved the net bag over, seeing the opportunity to cover it Lifting the net bag, none of the shrimps ran away, but all jumped around in the net.

Chu Shaoling laughed: "You are smart enough to come up with this idea."

Wei Ji chuckled: "I was naughty when I was a child before entering the barracks. I often escaped with my baby brother and the housekeeper's children to play. I learned from them back then."

The lake in the palace was well looked after by the palace people, the fish were well raised, and even the shrimps were fed well. They were not small. Chu Shaoling rolled up his sleeves, poured the shrimps he caught into the bamboo basket, and said with a smile : "Stop fishing, I'll catch shrimp with you too, this is what we'll eat at night."

Wei Ji quickly went to break the willow branches again, Chu Shaoling didn't mind the pickling, he took the chicken hearts that were still stained with blood and strung them on the willow sticks, hanging down the branches to guard with Wei Ji.

The two concentrated on fishing for shrimps, and within an hour they caught a bamboo basket. Wei Ji never caught so many shrimps when he was a child, and his size was not so big. His eyes sparkled with excitement, and Chu Shaoling looked at him happily. Naturally, I was also comfortable and in good spirits. After thinking about it, I said, "Have half of the dumplings made by the people in the dining room, and let's bake the rest at night."

Sure enough, Wei Ji was also happy, and nodded: "I'm going to ask for some beef and mutton, and roast them together."

Where is the use of the halberd, Chu Shaoling ordered to go down, and the people in the dining room quickly prepared all the utensils for baking, and cleaned up a large table with various condiments. Chu Shaoling asked people to put the things in the middle of the lake On the pavilion, there is no need for palace servants to serve them, and they bake and eat by themselves.

The prawns have been cleaned up a long time ago, the sinews have been removed, cleaned, and then marinated with the sauce. The prawns are soaked in the fragrance of the sauce. When they are spread on the wire mesh and roasted, there will be a "Ziz" sound, and the rich aroma will attract people's appetite. .

There was no one else in the pavilion, and the two of them directly started peeling the shrimp, both of which were covered with shrimp oil. They were freshly caught live shrimp, and with the secret seasoning in the palace, the taste was extraordinarily delicious. The two of them were casual in the carriage at noon For food, I was so hungry now that I ate up half a basket of shrimp, and finally drank the round-grained rice porridge prepared by the dining room before I was full.

After eating these at night, it is not good to go to bed early. Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji washed their hands and walked along the corridor built on the lake. Satisfied, he coaxed him: "Like this place?"

Wei Ji nodded and smiled: "No one else...it's good."

Taking advantage of the darkness, and the attendants followed far away, Chu Shaoling embraced Wei Ji and kissed him, and promised softly: "Sooner or later, I will let you be so comfortable in the palace."

Wei Ji's face turned red instantly, and he looked around anxiously, Chu Shaoling smiled lightly, took Wei Ji's hand generously and continued walking.

The two lived happily in the palace, but they didn't know that the Ci'an Hall in the palace was already falling apart.
