I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

Time passes fastest when one has nothing to do. In the blink of an eye, it was already Wei time. Although there was some confusion, the palace servants still managed to arrange things in an orderly manner.

Without any accidents, the carriage set out on time at the beginning of the hour of Wei.

Although the journey was bumpy, fortunately the cushions that had been prepared were still there. Xiao Ye took out the snacks that he had prepared earlier to fill the stomachs of several people.

Su Minglang looked at Xiaoye's prophecy and stopped. She didn't want to mention anything about Yueyang Marquis' Mansion anymore. Even if this matter was her own decision, she could never marry Xiaoye to such a family as a concubine.

But maybe everyone has their own aspirations? Su Minglang was not too sure in his heart. Forget it. If one day she resented him, then let her be. Xiaoye saw Su Minglang looking at her with a puzzled expression. Su Minglang smiled and shook his head. Then she turned around and talked to Nanxing about something.

Looking back, the road we came from was hidden in the jungle. The weeds on the roadside of the long mountain road had already withered, and there were still a few scattered leaves hanging on the branches, withering in the gusts of cold wind.

No matter what happened in these days, it is already a thing of the past. Whether the foreshadowing buried in time can bring what you want as promised can only be left to time and God.

The road far ahead seemed to be paved with a red carpet, dotted with all kinds of gold, silver and jade articles, but no amount of gold and jade could withstand the biting cold wind.

Su Minglang tightened his cloak. Winter was coming soon and the snow would eventually cover everything.

The carriage arrived at the city gate, and a huge plaque was hung high above everyone's head. The imperial city is a place that people yearn for, and many people flock to it, but no one knows whether there are people in this huge imperial city who want to escape.

The carriages shuttled through the market, and the people on the street bowed and greeted them. Su Minglang lifted a corner and looked outside. The crowded streets were filled with different things, which was something he could never experience in the deep palace.

Even if they were not in the deep palace, those women who were trapped in the backyard all their lives would never be able to experience such pure happiness, the happiness of freedom.

The carriage moved forward and stopped, and finally stopped outside the palace gate. The guards came forward to check the palace invitation.

The brief stop gave Su Minglang the opportunity to take a closer look at the Zhengyang Gate. This gate that opened up the land of power and wealth was so high and unattainable that even the guards who guarded it day and night seemed proud of it.

The last time she passed by here was when she was sent to the palace as a concubine. At that time, she was extremely excited to be able to live in the palace. Of course, she was even more excited because she could finally see the high and mighty man with her own eyes.

This time, it was also the second time she passed through this gate, but before she could take a closer look, the carriage had already gone straight into the gate.

At three quarters after the afternoon, the imperial city was tightly closed after accommodating the last carriage. The heavy vermilion lacquered gate fell, raising a cloud of dust. Su Minglang's carriage was the last one to fall. She looked back and could only see the gate except for the following carriages. She clearly saw a piece of vermilion lacquer on the door was lifted up and swayed, refusing to fall.

Returning to this familiar place, the familiar palace road, the familiar red bricks and golden tiles, and the familiar palace servants who bowed their heads and remained silent.

It is like a young eagle that has flown far away returning to the iron cage, even though there are fine clothes and delicious food there, even though it symbolizes power and wealth.

Isn't it a bit absurd that why not eat meat? Su Minglang laughed at himself.

The carriage stopped at the inner gate, and the sedan chairs of various palaces were already waiting there. Xiao Heng went back to the palace with a few others first, so the only people on this trip were the concubines and palace maids he brought with him.

What’s strange is that Xiao Heng actually kept Li.

"I'll take my leave first." Su Minglang bowed to the queen, and when she nodded, she got on the sedan chair first. After returning to Linglong Palace, Su Minglang's mood was neither good nor bad. She felt calm, as if everything was supposed to develop like this.

I haven't been back for a few days, but the environment in the palace is still as clean and familiar as before.

"Empress!" Nian'er was squatting at the palace gate. She had received news early in the morning that Su Minglang would be back today, so she had been sitting here waiting. No matter how Xiaoqing and Xiaohe tried to persuade her, she refused to leave.

Xiao He felt that this girl was a little different, but when she thought of Nan Xing's origin, she thought that this was just another little palace maid that Su Minglang had picked up from somewhere, and she didn't take it seriously.

"What are you doing squatting here? How disgraceful!" Su Minglang scolded softly, rubbed her head with his hand, and led the person into the palace gate, and then the palace gate closed behind a few people.

The sky had gradually begun to darken, and the setting sun hung far down in the sky, struggling not to fall.

"Did you find anything interesting when you went out? Tell me about it!" Nian'er's little mouth has never stopped talking since they came back.

During the few days that Su Minglang was away, she had adapted very well and was no longer as cautious as she was at the beginning.

Su Minglang and Xiaoye were both exhausted after the long journey, but Nanxing was happy to talk to her about it.

"There's actually nothing to see outside. It's already this late, the leaves on the trees have all fallen, and it's very cold on the mountain!" Nanxing racked his brains but couldn't think of anything to say.

"Oh, right! Riding horses and archery are fun!" Nanxing recalled the feeling of riding a horse and said with a nostalgic look on his face: "Riding a horse is so cool!"

"Hunting? Rabbits! Foxes! And big bugs!" It was obvious that both of them were focusing on different things.

Nanxing shook his head. "Hunting is for the ministers. We can only ride horses."

“But we encountered wolves while hunting, and the prince of Yueyang Marquis even killed two of them!” Nanxing said, and Nian’er became visibly excited.

"The Prince of Yueyang? What does he look like? He's so handsome!" the little girl said longingly.

"If I ever get married, I'll marry a man like that!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Su Minglang scolded. She subconsciously looked at Xiaoye, but saw that she was still doing the things at hand calmly, as if she hadn't heard anything.

"How old are you? Why are you thinking about that?" Su Minglang frowned and asked, "Where is the homework I assigned to you before I left?"

"Bring it to me and see!"

Nian'er had never been to school, so naturally she couldn't read. Su Minglang believed that everyone around him should be able to read and write, so before leaving, he wrote a hundred big characters for her to copy every day. Although they came back early, she still had to do the homework before today.

"Ugh!" Nian'er couldn't laugh anymore when she mentioned this. She retreated towards the door shyly. "It's still early today! I, I haven't written it yet."
