Chapter 1049 With a daughter-in-law, there's no worry about food or drink.
When Emperor Hongde saw Yu Feng walk into the hall with the envelope, his eyes lit up instantly!
His intuition told him that this was the news he had been waiting for all day!
Emperor Hongde put down his chopsticks and stared intently at the envelope in Yu Feng's hand until Yu Feng approached.
Before Yu Feng could speak, Emperor Hongde preemptively asked, "Was this a letter sent by Prince Yu?"
Yu Feng bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's guess is correct. This letter was indeed sent to the palace by His Highness Prince Yu!"
"Quickly! Show me the letter!"
Emperor Hongde urged him repeatedly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Yu Feng stepped forward and handed the envelope to Emperor Hongde.
Emperor Hongde snatched it, quickly tore open the seal, took out the letter, and opened it to read...
This letter... is far too short!
Emperor Hongde didn't even need to move his eyes; he saw the whole thing in a single glance...
On a piece of paper, only five words were written in the middle: "Wait for your son tomorrow morning!"
These five words alone would only lead anyone to believe that Prince Yu, Xiao Jingyu, is going to the palace to see the Emperor tomorrow morning; nothing more.
But only Emperor Hongde could understand... what exactly did these five words mean!
This shows that he did not skip tomorrow's morning court session in vain;
This means that his beloved daughter-in-law, Leng Rongyue, has agreed to fulfill his wish;
This means that tomorrow morning, her beloved son will come to the palace to pick her up, and then they will leave the capital together... to see her baby!
Emperor Hongde was excited. He gestured for Yu Feng to step down and handed the letter to Empress Luan Xiying.
Luan Xiying took the letter and understood it at a glance.
Today, as soon as Emperor Hongde arrived at Fengyi Palace, he told Empress Luan Xiying that he had excused himself from tomorrow's morning court session because he wanted to invite Leng Rongyue and the Duke of Anguo's family to go to Banshan Manor outside the capital.
Going to the hillside estate isn't just for sightseeing; it's to see treasures... real treasures!
It's still unknown whether Leng Rongyue will agree.
If Leng Rongyue agrees, the Emperor says he will take her along.
Upon seeing her son's five-word text message, Empress Luan Xiying's eyes lit up instantly...
Thinking back to this morning after the court session, the Emperor came all the way to Fengyi Palace and hasn't left since...
Eat fresh fruit, review memorials, have lunch, review memorials again, eat fresh fruit again, then have dinner...
During this time, the emperor's eyes glanced at the palace entrance countless times, all in anticipation of this letter.
It's finally here!
Emperor Hongde and Empress Luan Xiying clasped hands in excitement and smiled at each other.
As the emperor and empress of a nation, she naturally understood the significance of tomorrow's journey.
Tomorrow is not just about stealing a half-day of leisure to travel around Beijing.
This trip may allow us to directly witness the fate of the Jingyue Kingdom and its future!
With news that the trip can proceed tomorrow, who would be in the mood for dinner?
Moreover, yesterday when I went to the Duke of Anguo's mansion to eat roast duck, during the casual conversation, I heard Yue'er say something like: "Eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a light dinner; this is the way to prolong life and maintain good health."
Anyway, I'm already seven or eight tenths full from dinner, so stopping now is good for my health, isn't it?
The emperor and empress ordered the palace servants to remove the food and bring tea. They sat on either side of the daybed, eating fruit and drinking tea at the small table in the middle. They talked about their trip the next day and discussed in hushed tones what to wear for ease of movement and what to bring in case of emergency.
"I can leave everything else behind, but I absolutely must bring the telescope that Yue'er gave me!"
Empress Luan Xiying thought of the telescope, and while speaking, she stood up and rushed to the inner palace. She took the telescope from the cabinet, then ran back and placed it directly on the small table, as if afraid she would forget it tomorrow!
Emperor Hongde watched as his beloved wife became unusually excited about tomorrow's trip, suddenly becoming as lively and cheerful as a young girl. He couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, thinking to himself that he should take Ah Ying out of the palace more often in the future.
After a moment of excitement, Emperor Hongde saw that it was still early, and after thinking for a while, he said to Empress Luan Xiying, "Aying, play by yourself for a while, and I will go and look at the memorials for a bit more."
We need to get some rest early tonight, as we need to get up early and leave tomorrow!
Speaking of this, Emperor Hongde thought of his son Xiao Jingyu and couldn't help but complain, "That Yu'er, he didn't even tell us what time he's coming to pick us up tomorrow. How are we supposed to get up?"
After saying that, he let out a dissatisfied snort.
Empress Luan Xiying chuckled upon hearing Emperor Hongde's complaint and said, "Your Majesty is really something... No matter how early Yu'er enters the palace, he can't be earlier than Your Majesty's morning court session, can he?"
Emperor Hongde thought about it and realized it made sense, so he stopped worrying about it and went to read the memorials.
Empress Luan Xiying summoned her most trusted maids, Granny Feng and Head Maid Shu Xiu, and whispered to them about leaving the palace early the next morning. She also asked them to prepare two sets of light, warm, and practical clothes for Emperor Hongde and herself.
As for food and drinks, just prepare a simple amount.
Luan Xiying believed that with her precious daughter-in-law around, how could she and the Emperor lack good food and drink?
