The emperor is going on a northern tour!

That’s right, Wu Qing heard it right. The imperial edict has been issued. The current emperor, Emperor Zhaoming of Dayu, will personally tour the north.

Others didn't know, but Wu Qing knew that he was going to accompany his brother Gu, his great general Wang, to the northern border to seek medical treatment.

Bah! She almost choked to death on this mouthful of dog food.

You two are such dogs!

Also, there’s that feeling of being so excited but not being able to share it with anyone when you’ve got something big going on – that feeling of happiness and frustration, who understands? !!!

The imperial edict also said that the ninth son of the late emperor, Helian Han, was conferred the title of Prince Yi and was "summoned to govern the country" during Emperor Zhaoming's northern tour.

This was the result of a discussion between the two brothers after Wu Qing withdrew from the East Warm Pavilion.

The hydrological survey would be temporarily handled by someone else, chosen from among those who had accompanied Helian Han on the Baihe River embankment since last year. Progress would be reported to Helian Han in Beijing at any time.

Gu Shixin puts his health first. He recuperates for half a month and goes to the northern border as soon as he can walk. This way, he can reach the northern border before the road is blocked by heavy snow.

After all, it was a large group of people heading north, not just a few secret guards, so they had to cross mountains and rivers to get there.

After He Cui finished sharing the latest news for the day, she began to dust the West Wind Pavilion. She first asked Wu Qing, "Sister, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Wu Qing didn't really care about the speck of dust. Her gossipy spirit was burning as she asked He Cui, "So, the Queen Mother is canceling the chrysanthemum viewing banquet?"

In her mind, the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet was without a male protagonist, so what was the point? Could it really be that a queen mother brought a group of ladies in gorgeous attire to view a circle of chrysanthemums in the palace?

However, if it has already been issued, how can the Queen Mother take it back?

He Cui's eyes sparkled, "Sister, do you think so too?"

Wu Qing: "Isn't it?" Isn't the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet the preliminary preparation for the Emperor to enrich his harem? Now that the Emperor is gone, who will hold it for him?

He Cui: "No, the Queen Mother said she's been feeling weak lately. Since Prince Yi is the Regent, why don't you help host the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet?"

Wu Qing: Huh?! Can you change the male lead midway through a story like this?

Oh, by the way, Helian Han was also raised by the Queen Mother. So it was so smooth to choose a wife for him, Prince Yi?

Helian Han didn't object or have any adverse reactions?

Thinking of Helian Han's cold face like an iceberg, he was so handsome and cool, not to mention, he was quite lovable.

Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. She put herself into the mindset of an old mother and immediately understood that if the Queen Mother really treated both of them as her own sons, then their marriages would be of great concern to her...

Now that the situation is open, is it possible that the Queen Mother originally wanted to let both sons see it first and then make a choice?

As expected, no one who survived in the palace was simple.

So the male lead was not changed midway, there was just a lack of a male lead, and the chrysanthemum viewing banquet continued as usual.

It was just that for no reason, Wu Qing had no joy at all. Perhaps because she couldn't see Helian Hao and Gu Shixin fighting, she felt strange in her heart. She replied to He Cui with a dull, "Oh!"

Wu Qing clearly had no interest in this matter, but He Cui was busy and didn't notice her current expression. She thought she was very interested and continued, "When Prince Yi was still the Ninth Prince, he actually had someone he liked. What a pity..."

Wu Qing: "What's a pity?" I had already had my eyes on someone before. I liked her and was attracted to her, but was she only suitable to be the prince's principal wife?

She felt that the feeling in her heart was getting worse and worse. Why did she still care about it? She had clearly refused to enter the palace, so what was she caring about?

He Cui: "This is an old story in the palace. I heard it from someone else. I don't know if it's reliable or not. Sister, just listen to it for fun!

It was said that the prince had been naughty since childhood and had fallen into the Yudai River once. It was clearly his mother, the Imperial Concubine, who rescued him, but he said that he only saw his mother after his sister pushed him out.

But no one saw the little girl over there, because His Highness insisted that the river be thawed and someone searched the river again, but there was no child's body.

But after a few years, when His Highness saw the eldest daughter of the Qian family, he recognized her, and the eldest daughter of the Qian family did not deny it.

The eldest daughter of the Qian family is the same age as Your Highness, but it is impossible for her to be in the Jade Belt River in the palace at that age!"

Wu Qing's eyelids twitched. What a coincidence! She couldn't help but ask, "How old was His Highness the Ninth Prince that year?"

He Cui thought for a moment and said, "The year he fell into the water? I heard he was around five or six years old."

Wu Qing narrowed her eyes. It was incredible. It was such a coincidence.

But it couldn't possibly be the little one I saved! They were from completely different worlds. Forget it, stop imagining it.

Putting aside her chaotic thoughts, Wu Qing asked again, "So the Ninth Prince is interested in the eldest daughter of the Qian family?"

He Cui nodded while busying herself, "Yes!"

Wu Qing: "Then why do we need to choose a princess?"

He Cui: "The eldest daughter of the Qian family has long been engaged to the young master of the Anguo Mansion."

Oh, your circle is so messy! Wu Qing's heart was also a little confused, a little relieved and a little sad. What was going on?

She didn't care what He Cui said because she discovered one thing: she was not only concerned about Helian Han's looks, she cared about this person.

In other words, I like him, and I didn't know when I fell in love! When did I become in love? I didn't even realize it.

She frowned again, but she really couldn't accept the idea of ​​several people sharing one husband...

After a while, Wu Qing came to her senses again. What's the point of sharing a husband? She said she wouldn't become a concubine in the palace, so why should she put herself in such a difficult position?

Wouldn’t it be nice for me to have a serious relationship?

Well, if you like someone, go for it. Life isn't easy! Who knows if he'll die in an accident someday, or return to that world and suffer from cancer. That would be such a pity.

Wu Qing, who had quietly come to terms with it, decided to seize every opportunity to pursue a man!

Half a month later, Emperor Zhaoming personally led General Wang on a northern tour and specially requested Shu Jian from the Imperial Medical Bureau to accompany him.

This was a small matter, and the people in the Imperial Hospital discussed it for two days and it was over.

Originally, Wu Qing thought that as the general king's maid, she should go with him.

Gu Shixin, with a bit of color on his face, looked Wu Qing up and down and said, "Forget it. When your hand is healed, I will definitely take you out to see a doctor."

Wu Qing was left behind like this, and she was quite happy.

The Emperor said he was going on a tour to the north, so the Empress Dowager cancelled the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in the palace, saying that since the Emperor was not there, it would not be such a complete banquet, and they would hold it five days later for the Chrysanthemum Viewing Banquet!

Although there were no scenes with two male protagonists, Wu Qing was still looking forward to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet. She was itching to see what kind of person Helian Han, the iceberg little prince, cared about.
