Chapter 117 Leaving the Palace

May 19

In a blink of an eye, the luggage for the trip had been packed, and there were actually eight or nine boxes, just waiting for the day of departure to load the things onto the carriage.

After washing up, they lay down on the bed early.

"Master hasn't told me what we are going to do tomorrow morning?"

Xiyu propped herself up with her arms and moved closer, then laid her head on the man's chest. Her fingers unconsciously grabbed the man's collar and touched the silk threads on it.

"We'll know tomorrow morning."

Yinzhen spoke in a low voice, with a mysterious light in his eyes.

He didn't explain much, carefully moved her head away, turned over and held her against his chest.

Xiyu was curious and felt itchy, but if he refused to talk, no one could ask him any questions.

She pondered secretly in her mind, trying to find some clues from his expression and tone just now.

As her mind wandered, she gradually felt sleepy, eroding her clear eyes.

Forget it, let’s go to sleep.

Xiyu found a comfortable position in his arms and let the tiredness overwhelm her.

The next morning, just as the sun was beginning to show a hint of paleness in the east, Yinzhen quietly got up.

He opened the door and let in Chun Shi and Xia Ying, who had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Move gently."

After giving some instructions, he walked alone to the greenhouse next door to change his clothes, wearing a moon-white casual suit.

He seldom wears this color, so I specially prepared this dress today, but I don’t know if it suits him.

Xiyu was sleeping soundly, immersed in her dream, and had almost no reaction to the change of clothes.

After changing clothes, Yinzhen carefully picked up Xiyu and gently placed her on the carriage.

The wheels moved slowly along the path leading out of the palace.

Before daybreak, the two had already left the palace.

Xiyu had been sleeping soundly on the soft cushion in the carriage, her furry little head resting comfortably on the man's thigh.

"Well……"

Hearing noisy voices beside her ears, Xiyu turned over impatiently and covered her ears, trying to block out the outside sounds and continue sleeping.

However, this did not have much effect, and the sound still continued to reach her ears.

Yinzhen was originally admiring the peaceful sleeping face of Concubine Xiao, but when he saw her like this, his body suddenly stiffened and he held his breath.

People wear less in summer, and it is even more impossible to block out the warm breath of the young lady.

Something was poking her face, and Xiyu subconsciously reached out to pull it away, trying to get rid of the feeling, but after trying for a long time, she found that it was useless.

She slowly opened her eyes, and in front of her was a piece of moon-white cloth, soft and smooth.

After regaining consciousness, the noisy voices outside became more and more obvious, and there was a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of my nose, like some fresh food.

She's not in the bedroom, where is she?

With a panic in her heart, Xiyu looked up along the moon-white fabric and met a pair of pitch-black eyes.

The uneasiness in her heart faded away instantly, but... wouldn't that mean she was lying on Yinzhen's lap, and just now...

She understood and her cheeks blushed.

"Master."

Xiyu called out softly, supporting herself with the cushions beneath her and standing up, "Where are we?"

She leaned against the carriage, covered her face and quietly looked at the man sitting next to her.

He was dressed contrary to his usual self today, in a moon-white suit embroidered with cloud patterns with gilded silk thread, and a pure white jade pendant with cloud patterns hung around his waist, which contrasted with his clothes, making him look elegant yet noble.

This outfit made him look more upright, handsome, and even at an arm's length away, she seemed to be able to smell a clear, cool fragrance.

"On the carriage."

Yinzhen naturally lifted the hem of his shirt, carefully arranged it and covered his legs with it, trying to hide his reaction as if trying to cover up his own faults.

"Aren't we going to the Old Summer Palace the day after tomorrow?" Xiyu asked in confusion.

Could it be that she became stupid for three years after pregnancy and remembered the time wrong?

It was embarrassing for her to get into the carriage so early in the morning with her hair and makeup disheveled.

"Today is your birthday. I have asked the Royal Madam for permission to take you out of the palace for a tour."

Yinzhen couldn't bear to see her continue to guess, so he told her the answer directly.

Xiyu was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to suddenly realize.

"Oh, yes. I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot about it. I was thinking I'd just have a bowl of longevity noodles before leaving."

As she spoke, her big watery eyes seemed to suddenly light up and become more lively.

She leaned closer to Yinzhen, put her long black hair on his neck, and rubbed it like a spoiled child, "You are still the best to me."

Her voice was soft and tender, and she held the man's neck tightly all the time.

He looks like a well-behaved and coquettish little kitten. The young lady has always been good at these things and knows what he likes.

The corners of Yinzhen's lips curled up slightly, "Have you slept enough?"

Xi Yu nodded and replied in a muffled voice, "I've had enough sleep."

Yinzhen held her waist with one hand and gently stroked her hair with the other. "I have a private house outside. I'll ask someone to help you wash up. I'll accompany you to the market to celebrate your birthday today."

In just a moment, the carriage passed through the noisy streets and drove into a secluded house.

Yinzhen got off the carriage first, and Xiyu followed behind him. Seeing the man extending his hand, she wanted to offer her hand, but she never expected that her hand would fall directly into his arms.

She uttered a low cry and was carried into the house.

Xiyu sat in front of the dressing table and let Chunshi play with her hair. She would definitely wear her hair in a normal bun when going out today.

She glanced at the sky outside through the mirror and wondered, "It's still so early, why was the street so busy just now?"

Yinzhen sat on a chair behind her and drank tea. After hearing her words, he replied calmly, "That street just now is a famous breakfast market among the people. It sells breakfast food and will close at noon."

If it closes at Chenshi, that means it will be closed around nine in the morning. I don’t know if I can still make it in time.

Thinking of the aroma of food she had just smelled, she couldn't help swallowing, and her stomach started playing a symphony.

"No hurry, there's still time."
