Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The twelve of them decided to go to the other three countries to experience the culture and customs. At the same time, they wanted to see if there were any good things that their countries did not have that they could import to strengthen and develop their own countries.
Everyone was very interested in this five-nation trip. The reason why they were at the border between the Northern Kingdom and the Eastern Kingdom was because Ji Hong had never been here before. It was to let him and his wife take a look and make their trip to the Northern Kingdom a success.
Their next stop was the Eastern Kingdom, then the Southern Kingdom, then the Central Plains, and finally back to Xiliang.
The twelve of them were full of longing and yearning for this big trip. MO Ruyue had even given them a name for this trip: World Expedition Team!
Moreover, with so many of them together, they would not be alone along the way. With the protection of the top-notch experts sent by the children, their safety was also guaranteed.
However, their numbers were a big goal. In order to not attract attention, they were dressed very simply, dressed as village women.
However, they looked to be in their thirties or forties, but the women were all beautiful women dressed in coarse cloth.
The man was slightly better. He felt that he had grown a beard because he was old. Only Su Luo did not grow a beard because he was already twelve years older than his wife. He was afraid that he would grow a beard like her father. “Big Brother, your pretty face is not good. I have to put on makeup for you. You don’t look like us.’
“That’s right. You’d better grow your beard.”
Qin Qingshuang also nodded. Su Luo was a little reluctant and didn’t dare to retort. After all, those two women were not people he could afford to offend.
They came out to play because they wanted to have fun and excitement. In the end, Su Luo decided that each of them would only bring 100 taels of silver, and this 100 taels of silver had to be spent before they could use it.
Usually, they could not spend money, so they had to rely on themselves to eat and drink. For example, when they were at the beach, they would go to the sea to pick up seafood.
When he was in the mountains, he would dig wild mushrooms and hunt. He would not go hungry at all.
If they wanted to eat rice, they could exchange some prey and other things with them when they passed by the village. There was probably no farmer who would be unwilling.
Along the way, the twenty-four of them did not spend a single copper coin. Instead, they earned some money.
Today, they had hunted some prey. They wanted to eat the meat themselves. If they couldn’t finish it, they would make it into jerky to eat on the road. After the skin was peeled, they could sell it when they reached the place.
Of course, if they encountered good ones, such as high-quality tiger skin, they would keep them and send them back home for their grandchildren to use, He could also write a letter to tell them about the scenery, culture, and interesting things he had seen along the way. It would also let the children know that they were safe along the way and reduce their worries.
When the children received the gifts from their parents, they were touched and envious.
When can they retire?
However, they had just started, and they suddenly felt that the road ahead was far away.
Especially the fifteen-year-old emperor who had just ascended the throne. The day before, his father, mother, and aunt had just celebrated his fifteenth birthday. In the end, he was forced to ascend the throne the next day.
Su Luo and her husband had no choice but to come up with this plan. It was definitely impossible to discuss it with their son, especially Su Luo. He felt that his son had learned everything he needed to learn and there was nothing he could not do. He could not delay his departure. He drafted the imperial edict in advance and instructed his father-in-law and trusted ministers to wait for them to leave the capital before reading it. It was precisely because of these people helping his son that Su Luo dared to take his wife out to play
with ease. After all, she was his biological daughter, and she was given birth to by the woman he loved.
At first, Qin Qingshuangs heart ached for her son because he was too young. However, when Su Luo said that he had been taking every step carefully when he was three years old, she immediately dispelled her heartache for her son.
When the eunuch read out the imperial edict in front of all the civil and military officials, they were all shocked.
The little Emperor was already used to being hurt by his unscrupulous parents. He did not expect his father to once again refresh his understanding of him.
The dignified emperor was actually going to pass the throne to him in order to go out and play!
However, he could not refuse even if he wanted to, because his parents might have left the Northland at this moment. He did not know where they had gone.
Now, he had only received the local specialties and letters they had sent back along the way. The letters still did not mention where they had gone.
When they left, they only left a letter, saying that they had gone to find their aunt to go out and play, and that the return date was uncertain.
He wanted him to be the Emperor of the Northland and make bold decisions. If he couldn’t make decisions, he would look for his cousins.
The little Emperor looked as if he had nothing to live for. He had started his enlightenment at the age of three, and at the age of six, he had been dragged by his father to listen to government affairs. Every day, he had to take time out to train his body and practice martial arts. Every day, he only slept for three and a half hours, six hours at night, and an hour at noon. This was because he was still growing.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he wanted to grow up, his father would probably have forced him to sleep only four hours a day. Just like that, the entire day was filled to the brim. Now that he was fifteen years old, he had never rested a day and was spurred on by his father every day.
Now that he knew that his father had brought his mother out to play, although he was reluctant and envious, he also felt relieved at the same time.
Didn’t Imperial Father say it in the letter? He was in charge of everything. Since he was in charge, he could do whatever he wanted!
Hehe! Just you wait! When you come back, I’ll give you a daughter-in-law and a grandson. I’ll scare you to death!
He also wanted to groom a successor early. Hmph, he would be able to retire in his early thirties!
She had lost to her cousins when she was born late. She definitely could not fall behind by so much when she got married and had children!
He couldn’t fall behind in retirement!
At the same time, she saw the letters left behind by her parents who had suddenly disappeared, as well as the children of the other five families.
Qin Zilu was now the Empress of Xi Liang. She looked at the letter the Emperor had given her.” Then my parents, uncles, and aunts must have gone out too. Father and Mother couldn’t have gone out alone. This idea must have come from my mother.””
“It’s good to let them go out to play. Father has long wanted to go out. After being confined in the Palace for so many years, he’s suffocated to death. Now, he’s like a caged bird that has been released.”
It could be seen that these children were very clear about their parents’ natures.
“Then do you want to send someone to help Cousin? Cousin is only fifteen years old now. Uncle is really at ease, but Cousin is still very capable.”
The new Emperor of Xi Liang was a little worried for the little Emperor of the Northern Kingdom. They had met a few times when they were young and had a good impression of each other.
“Not now. Cousin has just become the emperor, and we’re taking the initiative to ask him if he needs help.
If cousin really can’t hold on, he’ll definitely send a pigeon to ask for help if there’s trouble.
Uncle must have had some people with him.
Oh right, Big Brother might not know about this yet. Tell him that you’re leaving court tomorrow.”
Qin Qinghao was now the youngest Prime Minister in Xiliang and even the five kingdoms. He was the top scholar in high school at the age of sixteen and had become the Prime Minister in ten years. His mother, MO Ruyue, had the title of Eldest Princess and a top-grade imperial mandate..
