Wang Rong He's suggestion was like scratching a feather in Zhu Yijun's heart. It was very itchy, but he could not forget about it.
It would be false to say that Zhu Yijun did not want to leave the palace. His Majesty was the lord of the world, but if ordinary people wanted to leave their houses and pack their luggage, they could leave. But if His Majesty wanted to leave the palace, even the sky would collapse.
The palace was huge, but being trapped in the palace and not being able to leave easily was meaningless.
He did not only know how to govern, but he also dabbled in martial arts and military law. It was a pity that the lesson of the change in the fortress was right in front of him. If he were to speak of personally taking the field, the blood that courtier had used to kowtow and stop him could dye Huangji Hall red. Furthermore, right now, the four powers were in a state of calm, and there was no place for him to take the field himself.
If he had acted as he pleased, like Yang Guang, he would have had to patrol the south. He would have left the palace long ago if he had wanted to dig a large canal for pleasure.
But neither was he.
Essentially, Zhu Yijun didn't want to stand against courtier for too long. He had his own temper, but since courtier was really going to go head to head with him, he also wanted to retreat. Perhaps the mark left on his personality by the sternness of the Empress Dowager Li was a gentle and kind person.
Zhu Yijun had already left the palace and seen Wang Rong twice before their wedding. Thinking back to it now, it was truly a good memory. If he could leave the palace with Wang Rong, he would definitely be in a good mood.
Wang Rong woke up in a daze. "Your Majesty, you're still awake?"
"You really want to leave the palace?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"Your Majesty doesn't want to judge me?" Wang Rong asked without thinking, and only after he had woken up a little, did he prop his head up with his hands and look at Zhu Yijun, "Your majesty couldn't sleep because of this?"
"You seem to be fine." Zhu Yijun said, "Do you not even know what extraordinary words you have said?"
Wang Rong laughed happily, "I naturally know that there is no queen like me who would escort His Majesty out of the palace. If you find it difficult, just pretend that I didn't say anything. "
"If you want, it's not impossible to patrol the south." Zhu Yijun said, "Otherwise, we can go to Mount Tai as well." Although it was a bit difficult for him to say that he wanted to go up the mountain, it was not a big deal to go and take a look.
"Forget it." Wang Ronghe said, "It is too tiring to go on such a tour. Sitting in the car all the way, there are three or four levels of people surrounding the entrance and exit, and it's even more uncomfortable than being in the palace. "
"White Dragonfish Robe, it's too dangerous." Zhu Yijun said.
"I changed my clothes. Who knew you were His Majesty? I'm the empress." Wang Rong He said, "A few martial arts experts secretly watched us, it's not like we're going to a dangerous place, it's just beneath the Emperor's feet."
"Is His Majesty really that dissatisfied with the security of the capital?" Wang Rong asked.
"Actually, I really want to go out." Zhu Yijun said, "I still remember the feeling I had when I sneaked out of the palace for the first time. When you returned, told you, "You didn't want to say Zhang Juzheng's name out loud, so Zhu Yijun paused for a moment before continuing," What a great lesson. "
"Later on, I left the palace. It was to let my mother take care of me after my wedding." Zhu Yijun said, "I remember that mother also likes to eat seafood, so I happily gave you the Sea Crab to mother. Unfortunately, mother was furious and said that I had to leave the palace to experience the hardships of the people, but I went to buy things instead."
"You're not allowed to leave the palace again." Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Rong looked at Zhu Yijun, "Your Majesty, don't be sad. mother is just not used to expressing her feelings, she should be very happy for Your Majesty and still worry about her after she leaves the palace."
"It's been so long, how could I not be sad?" Zhu Yijun laughed, "Furthermore, her current state is no longer able to affect me."
"Your Majesty." Wang Rong He said that as she held Zhu Yijun's hand, "When your majesty gives me a few big crabs, I will definitely cry for your majesty to see."
"What do I need you to cry for?" Zhu Yijun laughed, "How beautiful is it when you smile? All you need to do in this life is laugh for me to see."
The second day, Zhu Yijun, called Chen Ju over from the Huangji Hall. "Make the arrangements, the Empress and I will go to the inner city to take a look in two days."
"Cleaning up?" Chen Ju asked.
"Weiwei, after the clearing up, are the Empress and I going to the main street to look at the houses?" Zhu Yijun said, "As long as the guards are following them secretly, don't reveal anything."
"Just go out for four hours when the streets are bustling with noise and excitement." Zhu Yijun said. "Don't alarm too many people outside. I want to take a look and see how the Five City's Military Affairs Division is doing."
Zhu Yijun had arranged everything, but did not tell Wang Rong and her husband. Wang Rong thought that she could not say anything about how she actually left the palace, and thus thought of it as a joke, and threw it all to the back of her mind. So after two days, Zhu Yijun gave her a set of commoner attire after lunch, "Change into it, I'll take you for a walk outside the palace."
Wang Rongzhi held onto her clothes in disbelief. "What did His Majesty say?"
"Go out for a walk during the day when there's a lot of noise and it's only in the inner city. The time it takes to go back and forth is very short, do you want to waste any more time?" Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
Wang Rong screamed out loud and hugged Zhu Yijun, "How can your majesty give me such a big surprise like this?"
"Do you like it?" Zhu Yijun asked.
Wang Rong He nodded his head vigorously, "I like it very much."
Go and change your clothes." Zhu said that he would also change into a sleeved shirt with a round collar, soft feet and a long hair. He was dressed as a maester, and Wang Yunhe's clothes were also made up as a civilian woman.
Wang Rong He put on the shoes that were easy to walk on, showed it to Zhu Yijun around and then asked, "Did His Majesty choose this clothes for me?"
"I had someone pick out one of the most expensive dresses in the outside world, the most fashionable dress in the outside world." Zhu Yijun said, "It's quite pretty."
"Then let's see if you can bring the brothel or the Jade Pendant Fragrance Pouch. They are all matched together." Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Rong and a beauty with a single conch in her hair used only the Jade Tattooed Cloud Thread hairpin on both sides of her hair. "I'm ready, Your Majesty. Let's go."
"Remember to call for the old master when you leave." Zhu Yijun said, "Wait, there's something else."
He took out a shawl from his sleeves and tied it with Wang Rong, leaving only his almond eyes outside. Zhu Yijun was a little regretful, "Why don't you wear a shawl, it can't cover up too much."
The eyes that are exposed under the shawl curved in laughter. "The curtain cap is too heavy. "When I put on the cloak again, I won't be able to see too clearly."
"I have been walking behind the old master the entire time. The old master has covered me and no one can see me." Wang Rong said with a smile.
From the palanquin with the Qixiang Palace to the outside of the palace, there was an unremarkable carriage waiting outside the palace. After changing into a carriage, he swung his whip and walked towards the inner city.
Zhu Yijun nodded.
"So it was that simple." She had been holding the curtain up to look at the outside world. It was not as if she had never been out of the palace before, but going to the Ying Tai was like going from one room to another.
It would not be like now, where there was a feeling of freedom and freshness.
Zhu Yijun looked at her as if she was a little girl, "Are you that happy?"
Wang Rong turned her head to lean on Zhu Yijun, "In the past, I used to love going out amongst my daughters, but I wasn't this happy. It was probably because I went out with His Majesty that I was especially happy."
Zhu Yijun touched her hand, "Only you can speak."
Because she was too happy, Wang Rong even kissed him.
When Zhu Yijun was in high spirits, he said, "Then in the future, I'll bring you out for a walk from time to time."
The horse carriage headed towards the busiest street in the inner city, bustling with activity as it sold its goods. People's voices could be heard incessantly. Zhu Yijun got off the carriage first, and then turned around to carry Wang Rong. Beside him, there were two servants disguised as eunuch s and Wang Rong and two accompanying palace maid s.
The voice he heard in the carriage and the words he saw after he got off the carriage were completely different feelings. Wang Rong went over to shake Zhu Yijun's hand, "If old master had known earlier, he would have brought me out already. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have eaten at home."
"Can the cook outside catch up with the cook at home?" Zhu Yijun said.
"The cook at home eats every day. The cook outside has never eaten anything before, it's better than being fresh." Wang Rong said with a smile, and in less than two steps, she had already pulled Zhu Yijun to go buy a candied fruit.
Zhu Yijun also let her be, then Wang Rong ordered someone to buy the entire candied fruits and send them back to the carriage, "The child at home should like this."
"You only brought these worthless things to them?" Zhu Yijun laughed.
"Take a look at this. Buy whatever's interesting." Wang Rong He said, "Otherwise, what else can we play in this bustling place?"
"Up to you." Zhu Yijun said, "Buy me a good heart."
The streets of the inner city were paved with stone blocks one after another. Although they had been paving for the past two years and complained about it, now that the roads were all paved, no one dared to say anything anymore. It was a feeling of cleanliness.
There were also many women on the street, some wearing hats, some wearing shawls, some not wearing anything at all. The flower girls were all skillful and light, carrying baskets of flowers as they peddled along the street, the camellias were tied together with the yellow osmanthus flowers, both in shape and fragrance, "My wife, do you want to buy flowers?"
"Buy a bundle and put it on your shirt. It'll be good for a whole day." The little girl enthusiastically told Wang Rong and marketing.
Wang Rong raised her head and said something to Zhu Yijun, and Zhu Yijun then said, "I want all of this flower basket."
The little girl tilted her head in suspicion, "Madam, one is enough for me. Even if I bought more, it would only be four or five. It's more than enough. You can't wear more."
"Bring it back to the family." Zhu Yijun said, "Sell all your flowers early, and go home early."
The little girl burst out laughing, "Madam, I can only sell you one bouquet, because on this street, there are still many ladies waiting for my flowers, they also want to burn it for the whole day."
Wang Rong gently smiled and said to the little girl, "I was rude." "Then sell me a bunch."
The little girl gave the money to Wang Rong, who lowered her head to study how to not spend it. Zhu Yijun personally placed the money on her clothes, and after the little girl saw Wang Rong, she laughed, "The master and mistress are truly a divine couple, the mistress is beautiful and kind, they will definitely live for a hundred years."
After saying this, the little girl waved her hand and left with a smile.
"Sigh." Zhu Yijun wanted to stop her.
"Master, what's wrong?" Wang Rong asked, confused.
"Her words are so nice, I want to reward her." Zhu Yijun said. Madame is a kind and kind person, she will definitely live for a long time. "
"Master is also a handsome and kind person, he will definitely live for a hundred years." Wang Rong said with a smile.
