AWB Chapter 34 Departure
Chapter 34 Departure
On the day of departure, before dawn, Shen Jingyi was awakened by a loud noise. As soon as she got up, she saw servants coming to carry the box cage out to load it onto the truck.
When she finished washing and came to the main hall, she saw the table filled with food boxes of various sizes, filled with various foods and snacks.
She widened her eyes and asked in surprise, "This...Did the kitchen not rest last night and cook all night?"
Nanny Qin smiled and replied, "Yes, these are for eating on the road."
Shen Jingyi's mouth twitched slightly, and she said helplessly: "Mammy, the weather is hot, so much food can't be eaten at all, and it will definitely go bad if left for too long."
Nanny Qin quickly explained, "No, most of these can be stored, and we have prepared ice cubes to ensure the freshness of the food. You can just heat it up a little on the way and eat it."
After hearing this, Shen Jingyi didn't say anything else and just nodded to indicate that it was good and convenient on the road.
Then, she looked at Nanny Qin who was carefully counting the food, and suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, Nanny, have you packed your luggage? Did you forget anything?"
Nanny Qin replied without even looking up: "Don't worry, Concubine, our belongings have been loaded onto the car, and we will definitely not leave out any items."
At this time, Chuntao came in with a food box and placed it on the table where Nanny Qin was counting.
"Concubine, breakfast is ready. Please go and have it quickly, otherwise you will be too late." Chuntao said softly.
When Shen Jingyi heard this, she immediately stood up and walked quickly to the dining table. "Okay, I'll go have breakfast now. How about you guys? Have you eaten yet?"
Chun Tao replied, "The servants have already used it. Xia Zhu and Qiu Ju are watching people loading the car."
After Shen Jingyi finished her breakfast, Xia Zhu and Qiu Ju came in together. "Have you packed everything?"
The two heard Shen Jingyi's question and replied, "Yes, the concubines and servants watched and pretended, and nothing was left out."
Shen Jingyi nodded and said, "Xia Zhu, those who worked in the kitchen last night have worked hard. The cook will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and the rest of the people who helped will each receive one tael of silver. You will give them the rewards later."
Xia Zhu showed a happy smile on her face, stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Okay, concubine, I will take them to thank the master for the reward. It is really a blessing for us to have such a generous master like you."
They were really lucky to be able to follow such a master, who was not only kind and amiable but also rarely had to do anything, and was generous, clear about rewards and punishments, and never lost his temper.
Shen Jingyi's eyes were filled with smiles. Who doesn't like flattery? She likes it too. No wonder many people who hold real power change over time. It must be because they have heard too much flattery and have lost their way.
"You have such a sweet mouth. Tell me, did you help last night, too?"
"Hehehe, not only this servant, Qiuju, Dongmei, Dongxue, Qiukui, Dong'er, and Xing'er also went."
"Okay, everyone will get rewards." Shen Jingyi said with a smile.
After they chatted for a while, Qiu Ju walked in.
"Concubine, everyone is here."
Shen Jingyi nodded after hearing this, walked to the door and said to the people gathered in the yard: "While I'm away, you must follow Xia Zhu's arrangements and guard this yard. Don't go out and wander around without anything special, and don't cause trouble. You must know that only when I am well can you be well. If there are any betrayers, you should have seen their end some time ago."
A lot of people were beaten, killed, and sold in the mansion some time ago. Shen Jingyi specifically mentioned this matter to give everyone a warning. Mainly, she was afraid that someone would take advantage of this period of time to sneak in.
She doesn't want to have other people's thorns in her side.
After Shen Jingyi finished speaking, she let them go, and then seeing that it was almost time, she led everyone towards the gate.
The carriages and horses were ready at the door. In addition to her modified carriage, there was also an ordinary one following behind. However, from the open door, one could see that many mattresses and food boxes were neatly placed in the innermost part of the carriage.
But there is still ample space.
Behind them are two cars of luggage.
After Shen Jingyi stood quietly for a while, she saw the princess coming out with a group of people. Among them, the crown prince, the second grandson, and the third grandson were also following their mothers.
Only the little princess was not there. She was sent to the palace yesterday to accompany Concubine Shu.
Shen Jingyi quickly led the others forward and saluted, saying, "I greet the princess."
"Greetings, Concubine!" "Concubine Mother!" The emperor's grandsons, concubines, and maids who followed closely behind the princess all bowed to Shen Jingyi.
However, Su Wan still stood there, as if she had not yet fully adapted to her new identity. But Shen Jingyi didn't care about it. She just glanced at Su Wan indifferently and then ignored her.
"Get up." After the princess spoke, everyone stood up.
Then, the princess said to Shen Jingyi earnestly, "Thank you for your hard work along the way. When you go out with the prince, you must take good care of his health and don't let him work too hard. When you come back, I will not treat you badly."
Shen Jingyi listened to the princess's superficial words respectfully, and waited until she finished speaking before replying: "Yes, princess, I will definitely take good care of the prince."
At this time King Xuan also came out, and everyone bowed to him again.
King Xuan looked at Princess Chu Mengyao standing in front of him and said, "I'm sorry to have to trouble you during the time I'm away from home."
Chu Mengyao bowed slightly and replied softly, "This is my duty, so how can it be hard? Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
King Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at his three sons and said in a gentle voice: "While I am not at home, you must be obedient and study hard. I will examine you when I come back."
The three children stood in a row obediently and answered in unison: "Yes, please rest assured, father, your sons will study hard."
"Okay, this will put my heart at ease."
King Xuan smiled with relief, then waved goodbye to everyone: "Okay, I'm leaving now, you can go back now."
After King Xuan finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Jingyi. Shen Jingyi understood and bowed to the princess, then got into the carriage with the help of Nanny Qin. Chuntao and Qiuju also quickly got into the carriage behind.
King Xuan led the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth officers and one hundred palace soldiers to mount their horses in unison.
"Let's go!" Following his order, the entire team began to move slowly, gradually speeding up, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
After Chu Mengyao watched the convoy go away, she also took everyone back.
Only Chujiu was still reluctant to leave. He was left behind to watch over the backyard of the palace, fearing that they would cause trouble, so now he could only look at the convoy going further and further away with resentment.
Suddenly someone patted his shoulder. He turned around and saw Butler Xue looking at him with a smile: "Let's go, don't just stand there like an idiot. The prince has already gone far away."
"Xue Shu, how could the prince have the heart to leave me behind? If I chase him and replace Chuba now, will I be beaten?"
Butler Xue rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think I don't know. You lost to Chuba last night, so stop thinking about unrealistic things and just stay at home and take good care of the house, okay?"
Chujiu got anxious when he heard this, "Uncle Xue, you will have no friends if you do this. It is said that you should not hit someone in the face and you should not expose someone's shortcomings."
Butler Xue didn't bother to care about his impotent rage and turned back.
After some thought, the author decided to change the titles of his treasures from the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master to the Second Imperial Grandson and the Third Imperial Grandson. The author also changed the previous titles.
