Chapter 601: 601 wants to go, just go.
Nanny Liu also felt helpless, “As long as the Princess Consort has a plan in mind, it’s good.”
“Right, how are things going with Yunqing?” Princess Jing suddenly rembered and asked.
“Replying to the Princess Consort, Young Master Liu Si set out half a month ago. He has been hastening the journey with fast horses; he should be arriving soon,” Nanny Liu replied.
Princess Jing’s face showed sadness, her eyes brimming with longing.
Prince Jing entered the palace and also stayed for a al, returning only in the afternoon. It was apparent that he was in a good mood.
At dinner ti, Prince Jing stayed in the main courtyard to dine.
After the al, he wiped his mouth and said, “This Prince may be away from the capital city for a while. The affairs of the Royal Residence will be a burden on the Princess Consort.”
Princess Jing paused, “May I know where the Prince is going, and if there is a need to arrange for attendants to serve you?”
“This Prince is heading to Shuangxi Town on official business. I naturally have attendants with , so there is no need to arrange for anyone in particular.” Besides, he was going to work, not for leisure. It wouldn’t be convenient to bring a woman along.
At the sa ti, this was the sorrow of ancient won.
As husbands went on journeys, they had to manage the household without following along, taking care of the concubines and children in the backyard, and even proactively inquiring and arranging for soone to share the bed with.
However, upon hearing that Prince Jing was heading to Shuangxi Town, Princess Jing was stunned, “Does this trip of the Prince have sothing to do with that Miss Ye?”
She had long ago had soone investigate Ye Jiu’s affairs thoroughly, and she had also been asking the Prince about her concerns repeatedly, to the extent that the Prince’s previous impatience with the Princess Consort had faded.
Now, fearing that the Princess Consort might overthink, Prince Jing began to explain, “The matter does have so connection to her; that girl is quite capable…”
But the next words fell on deaf ears as Princess Jing wasn’t listening; she was pondering the possibility of accompanying him.
After Prince Jing finished speaking, he noticed that the Princess Consort seed distracted and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?”
After the Princess Consort’s inexplicable fainting spell last ti, Prince Jing had beco much more concerned about her health.
He had never realized before just how fragile this woman could be.
“No need to worry, my Prince,” Princess Jing forced a smile, “I was just thinking that I have never stepped outside the capital city all my life, and I have no idea what the world beyond is like. So I was a bit envious of the Prince being able to travel.”
“Do you want to go?” Prince Jing was no fool. Even though she spoke in a very subtle manner, he was able to discern the underlying aning.
Princess Jing bowed her head in embarrassnt and remained silent for a long ti.
The Prince had said he was going out on official business, and she knew she should not trouble the Prince. However, the thought of the child made it impossible for her to speak her mind.
Seeing the Princess Consort’s embarrassingly flushed face, Prince Jing stopped teasing her and smiled, “If you want to go, then let’s go. The matter can be either significant or minor, and we’ll certainly have to rush. If the Princess Consort doesn’t mind the hardship, you could accompany .”
“Really?” Although Princess Jing had felt awkward about it for quite so ti, she had never expected that the Prince would actually take her with him.
“Could this Prince deceive you?” said Prince Jing as he stood up, “The Emperor has ordered to depart early tomorrow. If you choose to accompany , make sure everything at the Royal Residence is arranged properly. I will wait for you in the morning, and we’ll set out by noon.”
“Your concubine thanks you deeply, my Prince,” Princess Jing couldn’t contain her joy.
“Oh, and bring Zhouzhou along as well. He’s of age now, and it would do him good to see the world,” Prince Jing added as he gave another instruction.
Princess Jing hesitated, “If Zhouzhou is to co along, why not also bring Shishi?”
