Seeing that she was walking too slowly, Jiang Yue went up to her and asked, "Have you and your aunt packed up? There are so many things?"

Yao Chi looked at their carriage and said, "Alas! Many things were buried during the earthquake. These are only one thousandth of what Mother and I have in our palace.

I don’t know if I can go back, I have a lot of treasures that I haven’t dug out yet.”

Jiang Yue's eyes lit up when she heard this. One in a thousand? Oh my god! How many good things would that be? What a pity! So heartbreaking!

Thousands of years later, will the National Museum be filled with imperial antiques?

Yao Chi looked at the carriage behind Jiang Yue and said in surprise, "Sister, you don't only have this one carriage, do you? Mother said you don't have much stuff, isn't this too little?"

"Sister, you forgot, I was in exile, how could I have so many things? This is because I brought a lot of banknotes with me when I came out, and I bought it later.

Besides, we don't know what the natural disaster will be like yet, so it's not a bad idea to travel light."

He quickly took out a bundle and whispered to Yao Chi that there were four sets of underwear vests in it. He said that he and Xiao Zhu made them and they were much better than wearing a bellyband.

Ask her to take two sets back for her aunt and make sure they are comfortable to wear.

Yao Chi was attracted by the new items in her arms and didn't continue the topic.

Concubine Liang stood in front of the car and waved to the two of them. When they came closer, she said to them, "Can you two come and accompany me when you have time tonight and go back to rest during the day?"

"Of course!" They said in unison, looked at each other and laughed.

The curtain of a carriage was lifted by someone, and a hint of envy appeared in his eyes as he watched the mother and daughter laughing and playing.

The troops were ready to go. Prince Rong and Prince An rode their horses around the convoy, which was more than thirty miles long, to inspect it. After giving instructions to the generals in charge, they went on with their work.

Jiang Yue divided the fruit into several portions and asked Mu Mian and Mu Jin to deliver them to several people.

Concubine Liang, Yao Chi, Emperor Mingde, Prince An, and even Qin Cangzhu, who helped Jiang Yue carry mahjong, all have a copy.

She also put a large bag of candies from a handmade shop in a large oil paper bag. These are high-end candies in modern times. They are all handmade and contain candied dates, jujubes, whole milk powder, crushed peanuts, butter, etc. She can also make them herself.

After saying hello to Concubine Liang Yaochi, he took Xiaozhu back to his carriage. Mu Jin drove the carriage and Mu Mian sat on the shaft.

Jiang Yue looked at her watch, which pointed to six o'clock in the evening.

It was getting dark outside and it was a little dark in the carriage. Jiang Yue took out a bag of candles, took out one and lit it, and the carriage was immediately lit.

Jiang Yue gave half of the food that had just been delivered to Mu Mian and Mu Jin. The two of them waved their hands and insisted that they had dry food distributed by the kitchen.

Jiang Yue took a look and saw that the so-called dry food was just hard biscuits, the kind that required drinking water every time you took a bite.

He forced the food into bowls for the two of them, then turned around and got into the carriage.

Wu Bi and the other girl looked at each other, their eyes moved.

Ever since they were chosen by Prince Rong to be secret guards at a young age, they have been busy with hard training and carrying out missions every day, and their master has never given them any food.

At this moment, they felt a touch of warmth from Jiang Yue. Unlike when Prince Rong gave them to the princess, Mu Jin drove the carriage and put the bowl aside. Mu Mian ate first and it would be her turn later.

The convoy started, with the Royal Guards on tall horses leading the way in the front, followed by the royal family members and relatives who were surrounded by the Imperial Guards.

Jiang Yue was also among them, following behind Yao Chi and Concubine Liang's carriage.

Behind them were the carriages of several princes, but the princes were all patrolling the periphery.

Behind them were the ministers of the court, their families, and the residences of various high-ranking officials, including the residences of dukes, marquises, earls, and generals.

At the end were merchants and common people. During the four-day stay of the royal convoy in Lai County, many common people and merchants came to seek refuge there.

The team suddenly grew to five million people!

The team of more than 30 miles suddenly expanded to 60 miles, and King Rong was worried that something unexpected would happen.

He ordered his men to pass down the message that the common people and merchants were not allowed to fight, officials were not allowed to oppress the common people, and those who abused their power to bully others would be expelled from the team.

As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Yue and Xiao Zhu took out ice cream, one for each of the four people.

Mu Man took a lick out of curiosity and was immediately shocked by the soft and sweet taste in his mouth. He kept saying it was delicious.

Mu Jin still had that icy face as he finished the ice cream in a few bites. In fact, he thought it was very delicious.

After driving for two hours, Jiang Yue felt bored with nothing to do, so she started reading a novel on her phone.

But the carriage swayed back and forth, and the candlelight dazzled her, and at this moment the convoy stopped.

Outside, soldiers on horseback shouted, "Rest for half an hour."

Jiang Yue quickly took Xiao Zhu, blew out the candles, and went to Concubine Liang's carriage with mahjong in her arms.

The imperial concubine's carriage itself stood over five feet tall, eight feet long, and four feet wide, accommodating six people. Red gauze draped the front and back, veiled by fans rimmed with gold. Its frame was gilded bronze, while the beams were vermilion. The eaves were topped with palm leaves and adorned with metal sheets shaped like clouds, phoenixes, and flowers.

In addition, there are bead curtains hanging around the eaves, decorated with colorful embroidery, white rattan decorations between the windows, and railings carved with golden flowers and wooden figures of gods and immortals.

Before Jiang Yue got there, she saw Hongmei, who was beside Yao Chi, walking towards her.

Walking closer, Hongmei bowed and said, "Princess, our princess plans to visit the queen before she leaves. I came to ask if you would like to come with us."

Jiang Yue nodded and got directly into Concubine Liang's carriage.

There is also a small round table in the middle of the chaise longue frame, which is barely big enough to spread out mahjong.

As usual, there are exactly four people including Xiaozhu.

Bai Lian and Yu Chun sat on the side to serve. The convoy was not moving fast, so the other maids and servants were following outside the car.

The four of them became more and more excited as they played. Yao Chi had particularly good luck today and always won by himself.

There were sixty taels of silver in one hand, which made Yao Chi so happy that she felt she was the most powerful person in the world!

It was just that the smoke from the burning oil lamp in the car was a bit choking as the carriage swayed.

Jiang Yue began to feel discomfort in her mouth and nose, fired a five-barrel pistol and turned around to look inside the car.

Concubine Liang saw her looking around, stopped playing cards and asked, "Yue'er, what are you looking for?"

"Aunt, don't you smell a pungent smell?"

When Concubine Liang heard the pungent smell, she thought of the volcanic eruption a few months ago, in which the drugs caused countless deaths and injuries among the people.

With a nervous expression, "No, Yue'er, did you find something?"

Jiang Yue stood up and walked to the oil lamp. She sniffed hard, pointed at it, and asked, "Aunt, is this... an oil lamp?"

Sorry, please forgive her. Even though she is a Chinese teacher, she has only seen kerosene lamps on TV.

There is no such thing as kerosene lamps in modern times, and students have only seen them in documentaries.

She didn't know there was such a thick smoke!

I can't even smell the scent of Aunt Yaochi, maybe I'm just used to it?
