After traveling through time, she just wanted to eat, drink and have fun

When Prince Jing and Zhu Yu returned to the capital from Jiangnan, they were in high spirits and had gained a lot. Zhu Yu, in particular, couldn't wait to distribute gifts to his family members as soon as he got off the carriage.

She knew that her father was afraid of heat, so she brought back the finest silk from Jiangnan, which was cool but not cold, and was indeed a great product for summer. Her brother was an expert in calligraphy, so she bought him a pair of four treasures of the study made by famous masters from Jiangnan as a gift. For Aunt Lin and her half-sister who worked hard in the mansion, Zhu Yu also prepared a large number of simple and exquisite jewelry and handkerchiefs as gifts to express her gratitude.

In addition, they also brought back many local specialties and handed them over to the servants for safekeeping. In the evening, after Zhu Yu had a short rest, they would let everyone in the mansion come down to taste these rare delicacies.

Of course, Zhu Yu also prepared a small gift for the current emperor - a set of bamboo tea sets carefully guided by Jiangnan craftsmen and woven by her personally: including a tea tray and four coasters. Although this set of tea sets is not expensive, it is full of thoughts. Finally, she asked her father to present it to the emperor when he came to the palace to meet him.

The entire Zhu family was overjoyed at Zhu Yu's return and were immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

However, rumors in the capital city about Prince Jing's dereliction of duty, which resulted in the death of an innocent woman in the fire, have not subsided. These words are as sharp as knives, pointing directly at Prince Jing's reputation and prestige.

On the first day of Prince Jing's attendance, the court was in turmoil, with the ministers impeaching Prince Jing angrily, their words were like knives, as if they wanted to put him to death. However, in this stormy sea, Zhu Wenyun stood up without hesitation and firmly protected Prince Jing.

He spoke eloquently, using sharp words to counter the accusations of the ministers, and tried his best to prove the innocence of Prince Jing. Zhu Wenyun had repeated these words countless times in recent days, but now he spoke them more skillfully and freely - sometimes his words were sincere and moving; sometimes his tone was passionate and inspiring. Every word was full of his firm determination to protect Prince Jing behind him.

Prince Jing had been treated coldly and bullied since childhood, and had never experienced the warmth and care from others. At this moment, when he gazed at the middle-aged man who stood proudly in the center of the hall without hesitation, an indescribable feeling of emotion surged in his heart. He deeply realized that from today on, he would never be alone and helpless again, because there would be someone willing to trust and protect him unconditionally.

All these changes were caused by her. Since meeting her, many things seem to be gradually moving in a good direction.

Just when the two sides were deadlocked, the Sixth Prince entered the court and brought a gift of special significance - an umbrella presented by the people of Jiangnan! It not only represents the endless gratitude of the people to Prince Jing, but also carries their heavy trust. This umbrella is like the light of dawn that breaks through the darkness, instantly dispelling the clouds brought by the censors who only know how to blame him.

It turns out that no matter what a person does, good or bad, the people will see it and remember it in their hearts. The emperor looked at the umbrella with mixed feelings. However, on the one hand, he knew very well that Prince Jing was upright and talented; on the other hand, he had to take into account the opinions of the civil and military officials in the court. After careful consideration, the emperor made a decision: to send Prince Jing to the border area to quell the war and make a decision based on his performance.

Prior to this, after returning, Prince Jing went straight to the imperial study. In this private meeting, Prince Jing reported everything he had done in Jiangnan to the emperor, and also learned about Zhu Wenyun's protection of him during this period. From Prince Jing's words, the emperor keenly sensed that Prince Jing's indescribable feelings for Zhu Yu were quietly growing. The emperor was sincerely delighted about this and urgently summoned Zhu Wenyun that night. After an in-depth and confidential conversation, the two finally made an important decision: let Zhu Chun and Zhu Yu accompany Prince Jing on the journey and go to the front line of the battlefield, giving these young people another chance.

Zhu Yu was furious when she heard the news. This was really like a disaster that came from the sky when you were sitting at home. War was so dangerous. Why would a weak woman like her who knew nothing go to the battlefield? Was she going to make a pot of pickled fish for everyone on the other side, so that they would eat it and become useless?

Zhu Wenyun's eyes were full of love and care. He gently stroked Zhu Yu's hair, as if he was touching a rare treasure. Looking at the graceful and adult daughter in front of him, Zhu Wenyun said softly: "Don't be afraid, dear. You are not going to fight on the battlefield this time, and there will be no danger. The emperor and Daddy both think that you and your elder brother are now of the right age and should go out and see a different world. Daddy has spoiled you too much over the years, but since what happened between you and Prince Jing, Daddy has been thinking about it for a long time. Maybe Daddy really did something wrong. Daddy can't accompany you for the rest of your life. In the future, you will get married and have children, and you will need to face all the difficulties and obstacles in the future alone. If Daddy keeps indulging you like this, I'm afraid it will hurt you in the end."

When Zhu Yu heard this, she was done for. How long had she been here? Her father was going to stop doting on her? Although she knew that her father was right, deep down, who wouldn't want to be favored? Who wouldn't want to be a carefree salted fish, with someone to shield them from the ups and downs of life? Alas, even if a person with a miserable fate traveled through time and space, fate would not treat him well.

"Dad, you are right, but I have only been home for a few days and now I have to leave in a hurry. Are you so cruel? How about this, I will go to discuss with Prince Jing, and when he comes back, I will ask him to tell me everything about the battlefield. In this way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" Zhu Yu still tried to make a final effort. It was not that she was afraid of taking on the responsibility, but she really felt that her abilities were limited. Even if she went to the battlefield, it would be difficult for her to achieve anything. She might even become a burden and cause trouble.

"How can they be the same? My dear, just go ahead without worry. Prince Jing will do his best to protect you. Oh, by the way! Remember to bring along the little girl Yun who knows a little about medicine. Maybe she can come in handy at a critical moment. In addition, Yu Wen who I brought back from Jiangnan seems to have some skills. He is better than our ordinary servants. You might as well take him along as well." Zhu Wenyun persuaded earnestly and unknowingly discussed with Zhu Yu the issue of who to bring along.

Zhu Yu looked up at the sky in silence. She hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind. She sighed softly, "Okay, I'll go and take care of the patient. I'll learn some basic medical knowledge about bandaging from Ai Yun. It won't be in vain. I have to do my part." Since I have to go, I'll try my best to be a useful salted fish.

What Zhu Yu didn't know was that the emperor's secret guards had been protecting her in secret. Although they had withdrawn on the surface, they were actually just divided into two after returning to report, and sent back to her and Zhu Chun again. Their mission was to ensure that Zhu Yu and Zhu Chun were safe during this period.

In the following days, rumors about Prince Jing spread like wildfire to every corner of the city. At first, the news was only circulated on the streets, but soon it became a hot topic among the people.

People have been praising the good deeds done by Prince Jing in Jiangnan. It is said that he went deep into the people, understood their feelings, and solved many problems that the people had been facing for a long time, so he won the hearts of the people. There are even rumors that in order to express their gratitude to Prince Jing, the local people spontaneously wrote the lyrics and composed the song "Wanmin Umbrella" and presented it to this highly respected prince.

Not only that, Prince Jing cared about the people of the world and regarded the safety of the country as his own responsibility. Not long after returning from Jiangnan, he resolutely volunteered to go to the border to quell the rebellion. This spirit of sacrificing one's own family for the sake of the public was admired by the world, and everyone praised him as a rare loyal minister and a pillar of the country.

At the same time, another rumor began to spread. Some claimed that the daughter of the prime minister had accompanied him on his last expedition to the south. The prime minister's eldest son and daughter might also accompany him on this expedition to the border. As a result, the marriage between Prince Jing and the prime minister's daughter became a topic of conversation among the common people. Some speculated that they had already had feelings for each other, and this long journey was a great opportunity to cultivate their feelings; others believed that the marriage was a foregone conclusion, and they only needed to choose an auspicious day to get married. All kinds of rumors spread like wildfire, and for a time, the people of the entire capital were immersed in another feast of public opinion.

Yu Wen also followed Zhu Yu back to the capital. In the end, he couldn't help it and secretly went to see Liu Yinyin.
