The team walked for half a day, until the sun was at its peak at noon, and they found a shady place to stop.

"My Lady, would you like to come down and take a walk to stretch your muscles?" Jinping heard the reminder from the guard next to him that he wanted to stop to rest and reorganize, so he asked Jiang Wandao.

"Yes." Jiang Wan nodded in agreement.

The palace maid opened the carriage curtain for Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan got out of the carriage with Jin Ping's help.

Although the carriage Jiang Wan was riding in now was much more spacious and comfortable than the one she took from Fuzhou, she hadn't been in a carriage for a long time, so she was still a little uncomfortable, so she wanted to get off the carriage to get some fresh air.

It was noon, and the sun was very hot. The carriage was parked next to a forest, so it was still cool.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please come over." At this time, a guard came over, bowed respectfully to Jiang Wan, and then said.

"I'll go over right now." Jiang Wan said after hearing this.

Jiang Wan's carriage was right behind Emperor Jiaqing's carriage, so Jiang Wan walked a few steps and came to Emperor Jiaqing's side.

"I have met your Majesty." Jiang Wan said softly to Emperor Jiaqing.

"Come and sit." Emperor Jiaqing waved to her and motioned for her to sit across from him.

A carved wooden table was placed in front of Emperor Jiaqing. The table was covered with a tablecloth. There were fruit snacks on the table and a plate of golden and crispy sesame cakes.

It was the first time Jiang Wan traveled with the emperor, and she realized that the emperor's trip was so grand. He not only brought the royal chef and the imperial doctor with him, but also brought tables, chairs and benches. He packed more than 20 boxes of luggage. Those who didn't know it thought that This is moving.

After Jiang Wan sat down, Emperor Jiaqing pointed to the sesame seed cakes on the table and said, "It's not very convenient now that we're on the road, so let's just eat these for now, and when we get to the posthouse in the evening, let the imperial chef prepare something richer. "

"Your Majesty has forgotten that I am not from a high family background. These things were rare delicacies for me in the past. How could you dislike them?" Jiang Wan said with a smile after hearing this.

Although the Jiang family is considered wealthy in the village and is one of the few families in the village who has built a large brick house with tiles, they are not actually very wealthy.

Compared with other families in the village who only see meat a few times a year, the Jiang family can eat meat often, but not every day. When Jiang Feng comes back from vacation every ten days, the family will go to the butcher shop to cut a pound of pork. Replenish his health.

Normally, the Jiang family only eats simple meals. Jiang Wan rarely gets to eat the sesame cakes on the table at this time.

The Jiang family is not like other families who value sons over daughters. They leave all the delicious food to their sons, while their daughters cannot only eat bran-thick vegetables.

On the contrary, Jiang Wan was the most favored one in the Jiang family. Her brother, Jiang Feng, doted on her even more than Jiang's father and Jiang's mother. He often brought her various snacks and fun things every time he came back.

The two brothers and sisters have a very good relationship, otherwise Jiang Wan would not have chosen to enter the palace after learning that her father and brother were killed in such a way, thinking about seeking justice for them.

Emperor Jiaqing was born from the Empress of the Middle Palace. He grew up in fine clothes and fine food, so he naturally never suffered much. Even when he was in the military camp, because of his noble status, his food was specially prepared by the cooks in the army. , which is different from the food of ordinary soldiers.

Hearing Jiang Wan's words, he couldn't help but feel pity for her.

"It's all over. Now you are my woman. You don't have to live such a hard life in the future."

Jiang Wan just smiled lightly when he heard this.

Although life in Shanhe Village is not rich, the Jiang family is much better off than other families in the village. At least their family can have enough food, clothing, and live happily.

She actually preferred her life in Shanhe Village to her life in the palace. Although the palace was nice, it was full of calculations, and her husband did not belong to her alone, but to all the concubines in the harem.

While the two were talking, Zhang Zhaoyi walked over with Liu Xiurong in hand.

Their carriage was not far away from them. When Jiang Wan came over, they naturally saw it, so Zhang Zhaoyi pulled Liu Xiurong over.

"I send my regards to the Emperor, and to Concubine Hui." The two of them walked closer and saluted Emperor Jiaqing and Jiang Wan.

In the past, Zhang Zhaoyi was a concubine and had higher qualifications than Jiang Wan. Naturally, Jiang Wan saluted her. However, now that she had been demoted, she had to salute Jiang Wan when she saw him.

Although she was a little dissatisfied, she was not a fool after all, and she knew what it means to be a hero who knows the current affairs.

What's more, she knew very well that the reason why she was able to follow this time was all because her father, General Zhang, put in a good word for her in front of the emperor, so the emperor relented and allowed her to follow.

"No gifts." Emperor Jiaqing saw the two of them with no expression on his face, and he didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy.

"Are Your Majesty and Concubine Hui having lunch? It just so happens that I and Sister Liu haven't used it yet. I wonder if I can have the honor to accompany Your Majesty and Concubine Hui?" Zhang Zhaoyi looked at the food on the table and then asked Emperor Jiaqing said.

She had already spoken, but Emperor Jiaqing could not refuse, so he nodded slightly and agreed to her request.

Emperor Jiaqing agreed, so Jiang Wan naturally had no objections.

When Zhang Zhaoyi heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and Liu Xiurong, who was beside her, also showed joy like her.

Soon the palace maid brought two more stools and placed them beside the table.

When Zhang Zhaoyi sat down, he glanced at Jiang Wan proudly.

"What's so proud about this person?" The system saw Zhang Zhaoyi's actions and felt extremely angry.

Compared to the system, Jiang Wan was relatively calm. Faced with Zhang Zhaoyi's provocation, the expression on her face did not change at all.

On the contrary, Zhang Zhaoyi saw her appearance and felt a little bored.
