C47 Snorting with laughter

The emperor took advantage of this opportunity to shake off Wei He and Zhao Ping, ordering someone to send them back to the capital.

Zhao Ping knew that he had embarrassed himself and was too ashamed to accompany His Holiness, so he silently accepted the decree of gratitude.

Wei was different. She was very rebellious, and it wasn't her style to give up halfway, so she decided to struggle a bit.

The result was tragic, of course. Nangong Yu ordered, "Tie up Princess Qi and Yu Hua, then send them back as fast as possible. Also, Duke Yu's mansion will be closed for a month."

A certain woman could not accept this, "Royal Uncle, you can't do this!"

"Two months."

"…" A certain girl could only admit defeat.

After getting rid of the two burdens, His Majesty was happy, and with Shangguan Wan's recovery, they should prepare to continue their journey. After all, it was not a good thing to miss the auspicious occasion of Emperor Nanyan's birthday.

The bed in the private room had also become an iron bed, so he no longer had to worry about it collapsing.

Out of curiosity, Shangguan Wan asked a question like 'Little Cuisine, how did you see your wife?' in private.

Shangguan Wan had actually heard some rumors, saying that Madam Bao's family was very rich, and that the first reason Bao Cui married her was for her family's wealth. After all, for a ugly and fat woman like her to catch the eyes of a man, that person must have been blind.

However, to everyone's surprise, he did not ask his father-in-law for even a single cent from the small dish. Everything that he had done so far had been obtained through his own hard work. Of course, he had also put in a lot of effort for this.

Bao Cui smiled and said in a low voice, "Actually, I don't want to talk about it. It's just that the two parties have an engagement since they were very young. No one can trust each other."

Shangguan Wan was touched. He was indeed a righteous man, "If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would even think of breaking the engagement."

Bao Cui smiled coyly, "If I don't marry her, she might never be able to marry me in her entire life. Since I married her, I naturally have to be good to her. This should have been my responsibility as her husband."

It was not surprising for the optimistic and cheerful Bao Daifang to say such words, but it was still touching.

"You're really different from others." Shangguan Wan suddenly felt like meeting up with someone late, she had learnt a lot from him.

"Humans, you have to be optimistic while living in this world. The heavens have given you a path, but it is one day of pain and hesitation, and another day of happiness and enjoyment. Why don't you use the best mentality to face it?"

Over the years, he had come to realize that, in addition to her physical appearance, Madame was a rare woman who was willing to endure hardships, devote herself to herself, and occasionally act coquettishly, filling his life with joy.

"Well said." Shangguan Wan patted his shoulder, "Do you want to go to Beijing to become a high-ranking official?"

With a single word from her, any official like Nangong Yu would be able to provide information. Of course, this was her guess, and she would have to rely on herself to carry it out.

"Thank you for your good intentions, esteemed wangfei. I think this place is very good and I've already gotten used to it. Besides, the capital is full of people, so it's not suitable for me and my wife."

Baotou's words were reasonable. If he went to the capital without knowing her, as well as her 'conspicuous' appearance, he would definitely be criticized by others.

Here, at least, people had come to accept Madame Bao. To her, it was also a familiar environment.

"Alright then." Shangguan Wan understood that he loved his wife, so she did not force him, but it was a pity, if she could inject this feeling into the court, it would be much better than her previous lifeless aura.

After a while, the group left. They packed some snacks and prepared a lot of food for them to eat on the road. There were two big boxes of food, and they dragged it behind them with a cart.

In any case, even if they were in the wilderness, there was no need to worry about starving. It was great.

Seeing that Rui Xiang and Lin Zi followed them with pity, Shangguan Wan kindly prepared a carriage for them, and the two servants were honoured to sit inside.

Rui Xiang didn't say much, but Lin Zi wasn't.

"Ruixiang, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a eunuch." He paused.

Rui Xiang's eyes were always cold. She never looked at him nor spoke to him.

Lin Lin also noticed the boredom in the air. Why did this girl act like she was made of wood? "Don't you want to know what happened next …?"

Rui Xiang was still silent. Her body swayed slightly as she followed the carriage, the bottom of her eyes calm.

"Well, eunuchs have no subordinates." Little Lin pursed his lips, looking very unhappy. Such an interesting joke, to be able to be lectured like this, he had to admit that he was convinced.

After an unknown amount of time, Rui Xiang suddenly laughed, "A eunuch has no subordinates. Haha, a eunuch has no subordinates …"

Xiao Lin was stunned. Could this girl be possessed? She did not laugh when he said it, but she was actually happy. Such a slow reaction made him speechless.

Seeing that Lin Lin was looking at her with a slightly abnormal expression, Rui Xiang quickly stopped smiling. She turned back to her ice-cold face and indifferently said, "You're not allowed to look."

Xiao Lin seriously replied, "Actually, your smile looks very good."

A person who did not laugh often, but who suddenly laughed so happily, naturally looked good.
