Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband
Chapter 374 Departure from Mount Li
After the master and servant chatted and laughed for a while, Consort Li suddenly realized something.
He immediately frowned and asked, "By the way, has the young lady returned?"
Today, the manager of Linglong Pavilion came to deliver the custom-made clothes.
When we attend the royal autumn hunt tomorrow, we must not lose face for the Prince's Mansion!
Having participated in the royal autumn hunt, the prince then requested that Zhaoyi be granted the title of Lady of the First Rank.
"The household will be holding a banquet then, so we should choose several outfits..."
Zhu Qing should be happy, but what Li Cejun is concerned about now is his daughter's position as the eldest daughter of the royal family.
He was so engrossed in his dream of becoming his lord that he cared nothing for anything else! Little did he know that a momentous event awaited him.
Deep within Kyoto's western market, at the end of a network of dark alleyways, a tranquil haven is enclosed by blue tiles and white walls.
The courtyard wall was covered with withered vines, which concealed the peeling vermilion lacquer of the corner gate. If it weren't for the occasional soft chime of the copper bells hanging from the eaves, it would be easily missed.
No one would guess that this secluded courtyard was actually the Kyoto branch of Dark Night Pavilion, the number one intelligence organization in the martial arts world.
As the setting sun gradually shone through the carved window lattices, the warm pavilion on the second floor was brightly lit by candlelight.
On a sandalwood rocking chair, a beautifully sculpted baby girl is wrapped in a swaddling cloth embroidered with begonias in gold thread.
The little girl's big, dark eyes curiously looked around. Several men and women dressed in black were surrounding her.
His usually cold and stern face was now completely transformed into a fawning smile.
"Little Ye is coming...look what your uncle has here!" The tall woman suddenly pulled out an exquisite cloth tiger from behind her!
The voice was softer than cotton wool, and the little girl suddenly giggled, her chubby little hands reaching out to grab it.
But the woman gently dodged it, a mischievous grin on her face, and lightly touched the little girl's face.
My heart melted instantly. "Mmm...so soft...like a freshly steamed bun!"
The aloof and handsome man standing by the window couldn't help but purse his lips, taking off the gilded bell from his waist and shaking it gently.
At the crisp sound, Ye Lin's attention was instantly diverted. Her little legs kicked wildly in the swaddling clothes, and she reached out to the bell, babbling incoherently.
Seeing how much the little boy liked it, the man couldn't help but smile with pride.
Upon seeing this, another man in black immediately took out some candied fruit he had been keeping and broke it into small pieces, waving them in front of the girl.
"Little Night, eat this! It's ten times sweeter than Bell!"
Amid the commotion, the guards standing at the door suddenly held their breath—the door opened silently.
Yi Chen, draped in a dark cloak, stood at the intersection of light and shadow, his cold, star-like eyes sweeping over the mess on the ground.
The final image focused on the daughter's blushing, smiling face, and everyone froze.
But then Yi Chen sighed and slowly stepped forward, taking the child from the man's hands.
He gently stroked Xiaoye Lin's chubby cheeks with his fingertips.
He glanced coldly at the several bewildered people in front of him. "Are you all alright?"
The atmosphere in the room instantly became more tense. Shi Yue coughed lightly and put away her bell.
He said with a troubled expression, "Cough...cough...dinner hasn't been prepared yet! I'll go downstairs and check!"
Meteor looked at the cloth tiger in his hand, scratched his head, and said, "Oh, right... someone's looking for me!"
I'll go take a look right away..."
In June, I also wrapped up the candy and tried hard to think of a reason, but I couldn't come up with one.
Then his expression changed and he twisted his arms strangely.
"Oh, right, where is the apothecary... something's wrong with my arm..."
Yi Chen watched as the group left, each of them making silly faces.
He sighed softly, shook his head helplessly, and turned to face his daughter's fair and lovely little face.
Her expression softened involuntarily.
"Does Xiao Ye Lin miss his father?"
Xiao Yelin stared blankly at her father with her bright, dark eyes.
Her little hands moved back and forth across Yichen's face, then she giggled.
"Ah...uh...hehe...hehe!"
Looking at his daughter laughing happily, Yi Chen was somewhat lost in thought.
A face vaguely flashed through my mind...
It's been so long since I last saw them! I wonder how they are doing now!
Just then, someone rushed in from outside.
With clasped hands in a salute, he said, "Sect Master... Your subordinate has returned!"
Yi Chen's expression then shifted to the newcomer.
But she still gently teased the child in her arms!
He casually hummed in agreement and asked, "Hmm! How's the investigation going?"
Yi Yue spoke in a deep voice, "Reporting to the Pavilion Master, that old woman in the Imperial City will be leaving the palace tomorrow."
He traveled by carriage with the officials to Lishan for a hunting trip.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Yi Chen couldn't help but shudder; the old woman had finally come out, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Hmph! It is indeed a good opportunity; there are many wild animals in the mountains."
It's perfectly normal for accidents to happen from time to time!
"Go find Shiyue, and have them come over to make arrangements together! Gather all the personnel in Kyoto."
This time, we must go all out to kill that old woman!
The chill emanating from him made Xiao Ye Lin in his arms feel a little scared.
The chubby little face looked at its father, "Ah... Waaah... Ah!"
Yi Chen's expression softened slightly and became gentle.
"Ah, it's Daddy's fault for scaring Xiaoye Lin... Good boy... Daddy didn't mean it..."
In January, the young master's lips unconsciously curled up.
Completely devoid of his previous serious demeanor, he chuckled, "Hehe, the young master has grown up; he can even sense the changes in the Pavilion Master's emotions now!"
Her expression softened unconsciously, and Xiao Yelin blinked her eyes and tilted her head curiously to look over.
January felt a softness in his heart and gently waved to his young master who was looking at him.
Unexpectedly, this attracted Yi Chen's scrutinizing gaze.
"Stop talking nonsense, did you understand what I just said?"
Noticing the Pavilion Master's gaze, Yi Yue immediately withdrew her somewhat indulgent expression.
He hurriedly said, "Cough...cough, I understand, I understand...I...I'll go find Protector Zuo and the others right away!"
They discussed and devised a plan for tomorrow's assassination.
Yi Chen gave a faint "hmm," and then Yi Yue took her leave.
After January left, Yi Chen couldn't help but furrow his handsome brows.
He sighed, "Oh, I should have known better than to bring you to Kyoto!"
It would be much better if you stayed at headquarters and let the old doctor keep an eye on you!
Now, even Father is somewhat at a loss!
Xiao Ye couldn't understand, but she still mimicked Yi Chen's tone and responded in the same way.
"Awoo...Awoo...Ah...ba!"
Yi Chen could only helplessly rub his forehead...
At dawn the next day, while the morning mist still lingered in the mountains, the gilded and silver-inlaid phoenix carriage rolled over the bluestone slabs of Zhuque Avenue.
Ahead, the Imperial Guards were in perfect formation, clearing the way!
Seventy-two bright yellow banners fluttered in the wind as the Empress leaned lazily against soft pillows in the luxurious carriage.
Hu Jin and Chang Yu each knelt on one side to serve.
In the carriage behind sat Empress Shangguan Shuofeng, Imperial Noble Prince Murong Che, and other favored nobles and attendants from the harem.
The daughters of officials of the third rank or above, from noble families, rode tall horses on either side of the procession.
The jade pendants at their waists clinked together, their tinkling sounds echoing the clatter of horses' hooves. The entire procession, like a golden-red sunset, wound its way up the mountain road, startling the crows that filled the forest.
Han Zixuan rode a chestnut horse at the very back.
Enjoying the beautiful scenery around us, I couldn't help but wonder if this could be considered another kind of autumn outing!
