Chapter 3182 Exceed

The emperor could only call Gu Zhong in and said to him: "Send someone to the Daming Palace and quietly tell the queen that I want to leave the palace and be incognito. If I hurry, I will be back in the evening. If not, I will definitely be back tomorrow morning."

He paused and then said: "This matter is not trivial. Let me also tell the prince that if I don't come back tonight, let him guard the Daming Palace."

Now only the emperor and the prince live here in Taiji Palace. The queen and several of the princes' children moved to Daming Palace as early as the beginning of summer. The emperor occasionally takes a boat to visit the queen. In fact, it is because of the affairs in Jiangnan this year. It's too much.

It was complicated and inconvenient for the courtiers to travel to and from the Daming Palace, otherwise the emperor and the prince would have to go to the Daming Palace to escape the summer heat.

Taiji Hall is located in a depression, which is both humid and stuffy. Every summer when the emperor stayed here, he would be upset and angry, wishing he could live in the palace.

Gu Zhong responded and left.

The emperor went back to change into a set of clothes suitable for traveling. When he came out, Yin Li was already waiting in casual clothes with his guards.

"Your Majesty, the carriages and horses are all ready."

"We don't need a car. Let's hurry up and see if we can return to the palace by sunset."

He is the emperor, so it's okay to sneak out to play from time to time. But if he doesn't come home at night, it will make people scared and worried.

Yin Li naturally knew this, so he nodded to his subordinates behind him, and the group mounted their horses one after another.

Mr. Zhuang:……

Wei Zhi, who looked sick, also got on the horse, and everyone looked at Mr. Zhuang together.

Mr. Zhuang, who had always traveled by horse-drawn carriage, mule carriage, ox-cart, or donkey, watched them silently. After all, he had not ridden a horse for more than twenty years.

Mr. Zhuang climbed onto the horse smoothly, and the emperor was worried, so he said to Yin Li: "Let someone drive the carriage back. Mr. Wei is not in good health, so he and Master Zhuang will go there in the carriage."

Wei Zhi immediately said: "There is nothing wrong with me, you can ride a horse, but Zhuang Shijiao is old, so he should really ride a carriage."

Mr. Zhuang said: "I can also ride a horse. Your Majesty and the adults don't need to worry about me. Just go ahead and I will ride slowly."

The emperor waved directly to the guards and said, "Master Wei, please tell me how to take a ride with Mr. Zhuang."

Several guards immediately dismounted to invite someone. Mr. Zhuang dismounted without any resistance, but Wei Zhi argued with reason for a while, and was finally lifted onto the carriage by the guards.

When the emperor was satisfied, he rode away and said, "You protect Mr. Wei and Mr. Zhuang and we will go ahead."

Wei Zhi opened the curtains and watched the emperor run away with Yin Li and others. He couldn't help but beat his chest, "I don't know if His Majesty went to Pucun honestly."

Mr. Zhuang hesitated and said: "The food issue is so important, Your Majesty will not slack off. Don't worry, sir."

Wei Zhicai was worried.

The emperor and Yin Li rode out of the imperial city. After entering the inner city, there were more people, and they couldn't ride fast, so the group ran forward at a low speed.

Running, running, the emperor slowed down his horse and said to Yin Li, who was more than half a horse behind, "I remember the wontons I ate when I left the palace last time..."

Yin Li: "...right in front."

The emperor immediately said: "Let's go have a bowl of wontons first. I haven't had lunch yet. Let's go."

Yin Li silently led others to follow him.

This wonton shop is very delicious, so even though the stall is small, there are many people eating there. In addition to eating at the stall, there are also takeaways. There are not enough places in the stall. Some people squat on the roadside to eat after buying wontons.

.

Yin Li paid the money, because the wontons were wrapped in advance, and he had three pots to cook them at the same time. The speed was not slow. He quickly brought them to the table and said with an apologetic look: "Sir, the stall is small and there is no room for the moment."

Yes, look..."

A guard took out a piece of silver and said, "Let them clear a table."

"Hey," the emperor stretched out his hand to stop the guard and said with a smile: "How can you be so prodigal? How much does a bowl of wontons cost? You can buy a stall with just a piece of silver."

The startled stall owner nodded in agreement and hurriedly declined: "I don't dare to charge so much money."

The emperor picked up his wontons, took out a pair of chopsticks and said with a smile: "We can eat on the roadside as well. Eat quickly and don't let Wei Zhi catch up. If he knows that we are eating wontons on the road, it will delay our journey..."

The emperor squatted on the roadside, and Yin Li also squatted beside the emperor with a bowl of noodles.

The two of them ate with gusto and were sweating all over. Yin Li took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. He took out another handkerchief and handed it to the emperor. Seeing the emperor's face up close, he frowned slightly and said, "Master is not feeling well."

?”

The emperor was satisfied with his meal. He handed the bowl to him and said with a smile, "It's just a bit boring because of the hot weather. It's not a big deal."

Yin Li nodded and took the bowl to the store to get a bowl of warm water, "Master, please drink some warm water. Mr. Zhou said you should drink more warm water in summer and autumn."

The emperor took it, drank it down in one gulp, shook his head and said, "It seems that Yin Qing has also been advised by her doctor, let's go, let's go back quickly."

The group mounted their horses and left.

Wei Zhizao and the others left the city in one step. The carriage was galloping on the official road. The emperor caught up from behind. He didn't look sideways and pretended he couldn't see it. He kicked the horse in the belly and quickly passed by with his men.

Wei Zhi was closing his eyes and concentrating in the swaying carriage. However, because of the rapid clatter of horse hooves, he couldn't help but glance out the window. He happened to see the emperor and Yin Li and a group of guards rushing out of his carriage.

The carriage passed by.

Wei Zhi:……

The guards guarding the carriage:...

If it weren't for their strict training, they would have almost abandoned the carriage and ran away following the emperor and Yin Li.

The two groups of people said nothing, "reunited" and separated again in a tacit understanding, and the guards guarding the carriage just pretended not to see them.

The emperor and his companions rode quickly and arrived at Pucun first.

It was already midnight, after the worst of the sun, and many farmers had gone out to work in the fields, either harvesting rice or carrying rice. There were also many people carrying baskets and scavenging in the fields.

The emperor slowed down his horse and let it trot forward. Looking at the golden color in the fields, he couldn't help but smile, "It looks like this is indeed a good harvest."

Yin Li also smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

The emperor was in a good mood and no longer felt bored. After running forward for a while, there happened to be someone harvesting in the rice fields on the roadside, so he stopped his horse and got down.

The tenants in the fields also looked at them curiously, because people from the Zhou family and the Bai family often came over, and Zhou Lang's caravan even came back and forth two or three times a year. The villagers were accustomed to cars and horses entering the village.

The most noble ones, they have seen princes and princesses, and consorts are even more common. Although these people look rich, no matter how noble they are, can they be as valuable as princes, princesses, and consorts?

Therefore, although the tenant farmers looked at the emperor curiously, they were not timid. Instead, they straightened up without being humble or arrogant, held the sickles in their hands and asked loudly: "Where are you coming from, noble man, and where are you going?"

Think of them as asking for directions.
