The concubine enters the palace? The princess empties the palace and goes into exile with the baby

Seeing the man standing behind her, Song Yao's eyes showed obvious surprise, "Your Highness, why are you here? When did you come?"

The person standing in front of Song Yao was none other than Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was wearing a moon-white robe, with a clear face and three-dimensional features. He lowered his eyebrows and looked deeply at Song Yao, a touch of tenderness in his eyes.

Song Yao looked at Xiao Yan, a little absent-minded.

She racked her brains but never expected that Xiao Yan would follow her.

Xiao Yan looked at Song Yao with a deep smile on his face, "I've always been here, you just didn't notice."

"..."

What? He was here the whole time?

Could it be that he had been hiding in the carriage since he arrived in Shuzhou, so she didn't notice him?

Seeing that Xiao Yan had appeared, Song Yuanbo and Su Zhen walked over.

Standing next to Xiao Yan, Song Yuanbai looked at Song Yao, "Ayao, since the prince is here, don't chase him away."

Su Zhen agreed, "Yes, A'yao, this place is quite far from Shuzhou, and he can't go back alone, so let him stay."

Coming back to her senses, Song Yao looked at Su Zhen and the others, her brows furrowed. "Dad, Mom, how could you do this? He's a prince, and we're going into exile. If he follows us, what's the difference between him and a prisoner?"

Su Zhen said, "He is not a prisoner, he is Prince Jing."

Song Yao pinched her eyebrows. She was really speechless. She had refused before, so why did they agree to let them come?

He is Prince Jing of the Great Dynasty. If the emperor knew about this, who do you think he would blame?

Putting down her hand, Song Yao looked at Xiao Yan, "Your Highness, you will implicate us by doing this."

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

Song Yao said, "You are the prince, the emperor's son. We are prisoners, and we have been confiscated and exiled. If you follow us, and the emperor finds out, won't he blame us? Prince, we have been miserable enough and don't want to be punished by the emperor again. I hope you can understand us."

Seeing that this was what she was worried about, Xiao Yan said, "Ayao, don't worry, I won't let him know that I followed you. Besides, if he finds out, I will say that I did it voluntarily and won't implicate you. But if something really happens, I will leave you and will never embarrass you."

Song Yuanbai said, "Ayao, since he said so, just agree."

Song Yao's temples throbbed. She glanced at Song Yuanbo, then at Xiao Yan. Seeing that he had made up his mind, and since this place was indeed quite far from Shuzhou, she said, "How about this? You come with us to Pingyang County first. If you still want to follow us, then you can follow us. But if you back out, you can just buy a horse and return to Shuzhou. How about that?"

In fact, the road to exile is very dangerous. No one knows which will come first, an accident or tomorrow, so she didn't want to implicate Xiao Yan, so she didn't let Xiao Yan follow her.

But she didn't expect that Song Yuanbo and his men would take advantage of her inattention and let Xiao Yan hide in the carriage and go with them.

"Okay!" Xiao Yan nodded, "I understand."

Song Yao pinched her brows and looked at him complainingly, "You are really something. You have a good life but insist on following us. I really don't know what you are thinking."

Xiao Yan said seriously: "I just want to protect you."

Song Yao looked at him, her lips curled up with a forced smile, "I don't need you to protect me, I can protect myself."

Xiao Yan frowned and spoke seriously, "Ayao, you've been exiled, and there aren't many of you who know martial arts. If I follow you, I can help you deal with any emergencies. Sometimes, all you need is that one person. Do you understand?"

"I just don't want you to suffer with us." Song Yao frowned.

"I know what you mean, but I just want to protect you. In fact, whether you agree or not, I will follow you." Xiao Yan's dark eyes stared at her, with a serious expression on his face, a seriousness that Song Yao had never seen before.

At this point, it’s useless for Song Yao to say anything.

Since he wants to follow, then follow him.

"They went fishing. If they catch any fish, we can grill them tonight." Song Yao glanced at Xiao Yan and moved her gaze to the pool in front of them.

Xiao Yan then looked towards the deep pool and asked, "Would the fish taste good if grilled?"

Hearing this, Song Yao couldn't help but laughed twice.

She glanced at Xiao Yan and said, "Let me tell you, as long as the seasoning is good, not only grilled fish, but even grilled shoe soles will taste good."

Xiao Yan frowned slightly. He looked at Song Yao and asked in confusion, "Can you roast and eat shoe soles?"

Song Yao was choked by his words and was a little speechless. "I was just making an analogy."

Xiao Yan looked at her with a bright smile on his face. He didn't say anything, but looked at the deep pool in front of him.

"I caught a fish!" Song Jing's excited voice came, "Look, I caught a big fish!"

Song Jing swam to the shore and threw the big grass carp he had caught onto the shore. "I'm going to continue fishing."

"Haha, I caught one too!" Song Mingxuan held a big grass carp high up, walked to the shore with a happy look, and threw the fish in his hand onto the shore.

In Song Yao's opinion, these two fish were 40 centimeters long and were real big grass carp.

The servants put the two fish they caught into a bamboo basket, and then everyone praised them for being so amazing that they caught two such big fish.

Xiao Yan glanced at Meng Xiangjun and the others, then glanced at the servants who were building the stove. Everyone looked excited and seemed to be having a great time, in a very harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

Xiao Yan felt that following such a group of people was more interesting than staying in the palace.

Soon, Song Qian also caught a big grass carp.

However, this grass carp is much bigger than the ones Song Jing and his team caught. It is estimated to be about 50 centimeters long and looks so fat.

After throwing the fish over, he continued to catch fish in the water.

After two incense sticks of time, the three of them caught a total of six big grass carps.

Because the pool was quite deep and there were undercurrents underneath, it was not very safe, so we stopped catching fish and just went ashore.

A scoundrel named Chen San came up to Song Yao and asked, "Miss, where are these fish processed?"

Song Yao looked at Chen San and said, "Go far away, otherwise the fishy smell will be too strong and it will easily attract carnivores."

"Okay, miss!" Chen San walked happily to the other three servants, took the knives, carried the bamboo basket and went to a distance to process the grass carp.

They went to process the grass carp, and the others piled stones into a pit and threw firewood into it. When they were ready to start a fire, Song Yao asked them to get charcoal from the mule cart, as it would be better to use charcoal to grill the fish.

When the servants heard this, they immediately took the firewood out of the pit, and then got a bundle of charcoal from the mule cart to start the fire.
