Six days had passed since Xiao Yuer's Chou Zhou Banquet, and the Queen Mother returned to Beijing.

The palace doors were wide open, and the Queen Mother's phoenix chariot was advancing forward, surrounded by all the Queen Mother's formal attire, followed by the prince's sedan chair.

Emperor Xuanzhi brought Jiang Changning, the second prince Xiaobai, the third prince Xiaoqian, the young princess and all the princes and nobles to greet him.

The phoenix chariot stopped, and the maids stepped forward to help the Queen Mother.

The prince also got down from the sedan chair and knelt down together. Emperor Xuanzhi saluted and said: "I respectfully welcome my mother back to the palace. My mother is a thousand years old."

"Emperor, get up quickly." The Queen Mother helped her son up, and the others got up on their own.

Emperor Xuanzhi said respectfully: "It is extremely unfilial for my son not to go out of the city to meet his mother."

"The emperor is busy with state affairs. I have so many people to serve me, and you have to go to the city gate to greet me in person, not to mention the prince accompanying me." The queen mother smiled.

After some pleasantries, everyone went to find their respective mothers.

Emperor Xuanzhi greeted the Queen Mother with greetings, while Jiang Changning took the prince to look at him, "Although he has lost weight, he looks more calm and sophisticated."

"Are we living together?" Jiang Changning asked.

At the right time, the emperor and empress arrived at the summer resort.

I wonder how a little girl who is only one year old can be so good at pleasing people?

"It's mainly about having fun, and doing some errands on the way."

Emperor Xuanzhi smiled, "My Ningning, you are indeed a virtuous queen."

"Coax, how can you not coax my little wife?" Emperor Xuanzhi said with a smile.

"You are harder to coax than a little fisherman."

"I said you are a virtuous empress, and you are a virtuous empress." Emperor Xuanzhi said domineeringly.

Picking a random flower that was quickly crushed into clay with her little hands, she gave it to the Queen Mother, "This flower is so pretty, I'll give it to the Queen Mother."

"Naughty." Emperor Xuan Zhi did not dare to pinch her face this time, but turned her face over and kissed her heavily on the lips.

"My reputation is not as good as His Majesty said. I am the demon queen who confused the emperor." Jiang Changning said with a teasing smile.

After receiving the gift from the Queen Mother, she held her little face in her hands and smiled flatteringly at the Queen Mother, "Grandmother, you are so kind to Xiao Yu'er."

"Study tours can indeed enhance knowledge and broaden your horizons. If you have the opportunity, my son would like to travel around." The prince smiled gently.

After being trapped in this harem for so many years, the queen mother must really want to go out for a walk.

The palace area not only has ancient trees, but also rockeries, pavilions, secluded courtyards, and an elegant environment.

Anyway, the Queen Mother was so coaxed by the little girl that she almost lost her way. She rewarded the little girl with a bunch of things, and the little girl's small storehouse was almost full.

"You only coddle your little wife, but you won't coddle her when she gets old, right?" Jiang Changning cupped his chin with a look of resentment, "It's such a pity that this beautiful girl's love was cut off before she got old, so she's leaning against the smoked cage until dawn!"

Different from the yellow tiles and red walls of the imperial palace in the capital, with gold and colorful paintings, here there are blue bricks and gray tiles with natural wood color, making the entire villa look elegant and solemn.

Especially Xiao Yu'er's mouth was sweet, and he said one mouthful at a time: "Royal Grandma, Xiao Yu'er likes you the most."

Emperor Xuanzhi kept his word. In March of the following year, he announced a southern tour, with the prince supervising the country and King De as co-manager.

Although the treasury is relatively full now, the emperor and empress cannot be too squandering.

Under the watch of hundreds of civil and military officials, the team set off in a mighty manner.

Before setting off, Jiang Changning specifically asked the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother is busy taking care of the little fisher."

This villa combines the essence of northern and southern architecture, with both the southern garden style and the techniques commonly used in the north.

"It's hard to coax, are you not going to coax him anymore?" Jiang Changning gave him a charming look.

When the day came for departure, Jiang Changning happily left the capital with Emperor Xuanzhi without any reluctance at all.

"I will take care of the little Yu'er, you don't need to say anything." Although the Queen Mother paid more attention to her male grandson, she also liked her cute little granddaughter.

"Hehe, that's true." Jiang Changning smiled, "This world belongs to His Majesty, so of course His Majesty will have whatever he says."

As long as his mother supports him, it is not difficult to convince his father.

Jiang Changning curled his lips, "It's mainly about doing business and just having fun. Your Majesty, you don't need to coax me. I'm not a little fisherman."

"Ningning, do you want to live in a separate palace from me?" Emperor Xuanzhi asked in a deep voice.

She leaned over again, kissed him on the lips several times, and finally coaxed him away.

Emperor Xuanzhi smiled and said: "This is a tree that was left behind when the villa was built. It has a history of one or two hundred years."

There is a bluestone pavement outside the villa, and a stone tablet is erected on the east and west sides. It is engraved on it: The officials are waiting to dismount here.

This is Jiang Changning's first visit to this villa. Neither of the previous two emperors visited the south. Even if they did, like Emperor Xuanzhi, she, the former Princess of Jin, still had no reason to come to this royal manor.

Emperor Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows. His empress would occasionally say some weird words. He had long been used to it and was not angry. He stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms. "The prince can supervise the country. We will come out often when we are free in the future."

.”

"That's not possible." Jiang Changning immediately refused, "Not to mention that the prince is still young and cannot hand over the government affairs to him. Even if the emperor and empress spend so much money on a tour, does your majesty think it is a good thing?"

"Grandpa Old Tree." Jiang Changning patted the tree trunk gently.

Not to mention the garden scenic area full of natural wildness, there are many palaces and a neatly laid out palace area, where you can see every step of the way.

The imperial grandmother returned to her parents' home and was in a happy mood. The queen mother should also be happy when she returns to Hangzhou.

"This tree looks a bit old." Jiang Changning said, touching a large tree with lush branches and leaves.

Xiao Yuer was left in the care of the Queen Mother, and the two younger sons were under the care of the Crown Prince. Jiang Changning was very relieved.

"Don't recite random poems." Emperor Xuanzhi said with a serious face, "Are you asking for a beating?"

Jiang Changning suddenly remembered "Kangxi's Private Interview in Incognito" and said with a smile: "You can find a way to convince your father."

The emperor has arrived, so there is no need to dismount here and enter the villa directly.

The prince was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes."

"By the way, Your Majesty, are we really going to the southern tour just for fun?"

Hearing this, he knew that she had no objection. The prince was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

After leaving the city, Jiang Changning opened the curtain and looked outside, "The free air is so fresh!"

This is what the prince thought. When he told Emperor Xuanzhi about it, Emperor Xuanzhi told him, "Next year, I will take your mother to Hangzhou, and you will stay in Beijing to supervise the country."

Seeing that he was a little angry, Jiang Changning hurriedly smiled and coaxed him, "Your Majesty, please don't argue with this little girl who talks nonsense."

Jiang Changning looked very happy as she walked all the way, so Emperor Xuanzhi led her around the palace.

After wandering around for a while, Emperor Xuanzhi took people to the main hall.

"No, I am happy to live in the same palace with His Majesty." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

The main hall is divided into the main hall, the east and west auxiliary halls, and is also the front palace and the back bedroom.

Seeing Jiang Changning looking around, Emperor Xuanzhi smiled and said, "Aren't you tired of traveling for a day? We'll see about this tomorrow. We still have to stay here for a few days."

"Go in and have a rest. It's time for dinner later." Jiang Changning pulled him inside.
