”If you want to care, then you have to reveal your identity. That way, there will be people who will know that the Queen has ran away, and come over to the Li Prefecture.” Xiang Run looked cold and indifferent, but in his eyes, he was waiting for Siyan's choice and reply.
Siyan was anxious about the young lady who jumped off the building. She wanted to go, but when she was at Chuanyu, she walked sideways, where was there a fight to bully the weak?
”Your majesty, it's good as long as you only reveal your identity.” Siyan quivered, and said to Xiang Run with sparkling eyes: ”I'll just be a Palace Maid, no one will ask.”
Xiang Run looked at her coldly. He knew that it was impossible, so he lowered his gaze and looked at the young lady who was already being carried.
The Emperor hooked his fingers and the people behind him ran up. He ordered, ”Follow.”
”Yes.” The order to wait on him disappeared right in front of his eyes.
Siyan was startled, then uncontrollably smiled at the emperor. ”Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Xiang Run walked forward slowly, towards the same direction, and said with extreme disdain: ”You like to meddle in other people's business so much?”
Siyan followed along: ”When I was in the Chuanyu, I often toured the streets with the Fast Catcher.”
Xiang Run sized her up in disbelief: ”Going down to patrol the streets, what else do you want to do?”
Siyan said: ”Take care of my brother at home, help him cook and sew clothes, I …”
Seeing the emperor looking at her, Wei Siyan stopped herself in her tracks. She knew that this was not something a daughter of the General's Estate should do. During last year's selection, all the young mistresses from aristocratic families looked like they had come from the heavens. Only she seemed to have come out from the ground.
Before entering the palace, that foolish brother of hers suddenly remembered to ask her what she knew and knew about zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. She didn't know anything at all.
However, this was not the time to talk about this. Before they left, the guards had already rushed back to inform them where the woman was. They had invited the doctor to return home, so it was not that they didn't care.
Xiang Run instructed, ”Go and inquire about their origins and what happened just now. Tell me everything from start to finish.” The Emperor paused for a moment and casually pointed. ”Palace Maid and I are eating over there.”
Palace Maid? The guard was startled and looked towards the queen. Siyan smiled at him warmly, causing the guard to jump in shock, how could she stare at the empress' heavenly face?
Siyan brought Siyan to a nearby restaurant to eat, and ordered some snacks that were characteristic of a local place. Siyan was a little absent-minded, and the Emperor didn't force her to use her chopsticks, but suddenly said: ”After returning to the capital, how are you planning to explain this to royal father and mother?”
”They're not going out?” ”Siyan remembered that before their wedding, her future mother-in-law had told her that they would be travelling the four seas in the future and she would be the one to take care of the both the palace and the emperor.
Xiang Run sighed: ”With us like this, will they be able to relax and leave the capital?”
Siyan lowered her eyes. ”I won't run around randomly in the future.”
However, the emperor changed the topic and continued, ”I always wanted to report to them first if there is anything that needs to be done. At the beginning, royal father was still waiting to see me, but after the first month, he didn't even bother to see me anymore.
Similarly, the Empress Dowager was very happy to see her. When he saw her, he would always smile, but after the Supreme Emperor, her mother-in-law would often see her before marriage and tell her some things about the palace. After the wedding, he was rarely seen, and every time he went to pay respects, he would return empty-handed.
”They don't want to see us anymore?” Siyan said, ”Imperial Mother won't see me either.”
”I've thought it through. From today onwards, let go of me and become the Emperor I want to be.” Xiang Run gave Siyan food and said, ”royal father doesn't want to restrict me, but I feel like he can't do it. It's because he doesn't want to be the emperor, that's why he gave me the position.
Siyan thought about it, then nodded her head.
Xiang Run said: ”In the palace, we do not have the chance to speak like this, words that cannot be heard by others. We cannot be petty, but you can. Why don't you take out some courage to allow the eunuchs of the Palace Maid to follow us at all times, and chase them a little further away. ”
”Me?” Siyan thought she heard wrong.
However, the Emperor said, ”Imperial Mother has always done this, what rules are there?”
”Can I?” Siyan opened her eyes wide, ”I'm really not used to them always following me.
Xiang Run was annoyed: ”Eating, what did you say?”
Just as she finished speaking, a horse galloped across the street. Siyan saw it very clearly, it was Ling Chaofeng. She immediately leaned towards the window and shouted: ”Manager Ling, Manager Ling!”
Hearing that, Ling Chaofeng reined in his horse, and turned to see the Queen waving at him from the window, he finally understood why the Xiaowan was able to get along with the Queen so well.
