Chapter 300 Departure to Shuntian

"That's enough, child. Mother won't nag you anymore. It's almost time. You should leave quickly." The Crown Princess let go of his hand and said.

"Take care of yourselves, father and mother. I'm leaving." Zhu Zhanji said this and got on the carriage.

Concubine Li didn't have anything to say, as she had said everything she needed to say. After nodding, Zhu Zhanjun said goodbye to them and got on the carriage.

Zhu Zhanjun's composure lasted only three seconds. As soon as he sat in the carriage, his true colors were revealed.

"Finally I'm out. I can finally escape from the sea of ​​suffering." Zhu Zhanjun was so happy when he thought that no one would care about him for the next period of time.

"Second brother, you... No wonder the concubine is worried about you and specifically asked me to keep an eye on you." Zhu Zhanji stared at him and said.

"Oh, who are you to me? You won't betray your brother, right? My mother is far away and can't control me. How would she know if you don't tell her?" Zhu Zhanjun immediately put on a playful smile to his serious younger brother.

"Okay, just do whatever your second brother does." Zhu Zhanji glanced at him and said.

"Hey, why are you so easy to talk to today?" Zhu Zhanjun was a little uncomfortable to see him agree so immediately. In the past, he had to beg his fifth brother for a long time, and his brother might not agree. Why was he so easy to talk to this time? Something was wrong. This kid must be holding back something. He wouldn't wait until he made a mistake and then tell his mother so that she would give him a good beating.

Zhu Zhanjun thought about the scene and thought that given his brother's personality, it was not impossible.

"Second brother, we are not going to Shuntian for fun this time, do you know that?" Zhu Zhanji's tone suddenly became serious.

"Of course I know that." Zhu Zhanjun was infected by his tone and suddenly became a lot more normal.

"In fact, we don't really have to do anything. After all, we are not familiar with Shuntian, and Uncle San is there. I think he has already handled most of the things. We just go there to finish the work, and then it won't be long before we welcome Grandpa Huang to move the capital."

"That's true. If we really do nothing, that doesn't seem like a good idea. Will the emperor blame my father when the time comes?" Zhu Zhanjun was not very clear about other things, but he was clear-headed about major issues.

"Don't worry about this, second brother. Just act according to your true self." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile.

"Ah...what do you mean?" Zhu Zhanjun was puzzled.

"You've always been a frivolous person. If you suddenly become serious, it will arouse suspicion. Anyway, on the surface, Third Uncle and cousin won't let us really idle. They will always find something for us to do. Second brother, just do your best."

"Ah, we really have to do something. I thought we were just going to take a look. Didn't they say that things have been almost dealt with? It shouldn't be our turn to do anything, right?" Zhu Zhanjun had never done anything before, and he felt overwhelmed when he heard that he had to deal with affairs.

"Don't worry, second brother. I don't think they will assign us difficult tasks." Zhu Zhanji comforted him.

"Yeah, that's right." Zhu Zhanjun thought very well now, but when he really got there, he found out that he had been deceived.

"Oh, this road is so boring." Zhu Zhanjun became bored after sitting in the carriage for a while.

"Brother, you're bored just as we set out. There's still a long time to go." Zhu Zhanji took out the books he had prepared long ago and started reading.

"Do you have any interesting books for me to read?" Zhu Zhanjun asked.

"Probably not." Zhu Zhanji thought about what he usually liked to watch.

"Oh, it's really boring." Zhu Zhanjun said as he lifted the car curtain and looked at the scenery along the way.

Two hours later, the group stopped to rest.

Zhu Zhanqi came over to ask if they were okay.

"You two have been sitting in the carriage for so long, are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to get off and have a rest?"

"Thank you for your concern, cousin. We are all fine." Zhu Zhanji replied.

"That's good. Let's rest for a while and set off immediately. We should be able to reach the resting place before dark." Seeing that they had no problems, Zhu Zhanqi rode his horse to the front.

"Alas, you said that Big Brother Zaoqi was here, but how could it be his turn to take us to Shuntian?" Zhu Zhanjun and others complained after they left.

"Second brother, be careful with your words." Zhu Zhanji advised.

"I know. I won't say anything." Zhu Zhanjun was really bored and felt sleepy. He wanted to take a nap, but he fell asleep unexpectedly.

Seeing that he had fallen asleep, Zhu Zhanjun covered him with a blanket and continued to do his own things. Zhu Zhanjun mentioned his elder brother just now, but he didn't know if his elder brother had arrived yet.

At this moment, Zhu Zhanji, who had just arrived in Fengyang, suddenly sneezed.

"Your Highness, have you caught a cold?" Hu Shanxiang asked.

"It should be gone. Maybe someone is thinking about me?" Zhu Zhanji joked.

"That's right. Now that you're leaving the capital, who knows, there might be some close female friends who are thinking about you?"

"There is no such thing as a confidante. Maybe I caught a cold when I kicked off the quilt while sleeping yesterday." Zhu Zhanji immediately changed his words.

Concubine Wang and He Yunyue were laughing behind.

"After more than half a month, it's finally here." said Concubine Wang.

"Yes, we walked, stopped and played a lot, which took quite a while."

A group of people arrived at the residence.

After a rough walk around, I found that the yard is not big, but it is elegant and quiet.

"Shan Xiang must be tired, go and rest first." Concubine Wang said.

"Yes." Hu Shanxiang did not refuse. She was indeed tired after sitting in the carriage for so many days.

"Agui, if you have something to do, just go ahead. I'm here, you can rest assured." Concubine Wang would not naively think that Zhu Zhanji was really here to stay.

"Don't be in a hurry. We just arrived and are not familiar with everything yet. There is no need to rush." ​​Zhu Zhanji did not plan to do anything right away.

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhanji went for a walk in the city.

He Yunyue also received a letter from home.

As soon as he saw the content, he sent it to Zhu Zhanji immediately.

"What it means is that a mysterious woman suddenly appeared next to Zhanqi, and now this woman has been arranged to be with Sun, but it is still unclear what he is going to do specifically." Zhu Zhanji concluded after reading the letter.

"That's right." He Yunyue nodded, but continued: "Do we need to continue investigating the identity of this woman?"

"Not for the time being, it shouldn't be a big deal, she's not too insignificant." Zhu Zhanji thought about it and in his previous life, there were no strange and mysterious maids around him. But he didn't expect that this decision would make him suffer a great loss for his future.

"But..." He Yunyue still somewhat believed in Wang Jundai's intuition.

"But your majesty is preparing to move the capital, which is a big deal." Zhu Zhanji had thought about it before he came. The time for Zhu Di to move the capital was approaching. Last time, he was in Shuntian to meet him in advance. His eldest princess was also born in Shuntian that year.

"I remember the last time it was around this time, His Majesty officially ordered the preparations to move the capital. We set out at the end of the year and arrived in Shuntian in February of the following year, which took three months."

"Yes, it should be similar this time." Zhu Zhanji nodded.

"But, His Majesty is planning to move the capital, and he asked you to come to Zhongdu. By then, they will all go to Shuntian. What will you do?"

"Don't worry about that. Grandpa Emperor will launch a northern expedition after moving the capital. He will definitely call me back in advance then. Besides, compared to the intrigues in the palace, Zhongdu is hard to find peace and tranquility. There's nothing wrong with staying here." Zhu Zhanji was more open-minded about the matter.

"Yes, the important thing now is that Shanxiang gives birth to the child safely, and we can talk about the rest later." He Yunyue also agreed with his opinion.

"Okay, I already know about this matter. You go and accompany Shanxiang." Zhu Zhanji burned the letter.

"Yes." He Yunyue stepped out.

Concubine Wang was with Hu Shanxiang. When He Yunyue went in, the two were talking to the baby in their bellies.

"My dear, be obedient today and don't make your mother too hard." Concubine Wang said while touching Hu Shanxiang's belly. Although she herself had never given birth to a child, she treated the crown prince, Zhu Zhanji, as if he were her own family. She felt very close to the baby in Hu Shanxiang's belly.

"He's quite well behaved now, but I don't know if he will be naughty after he is born."

"This child should be more lively. Agui was also lively and naughty when he was young. He will be fine when he grows up."
