After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

It was evening, after the sun had set, when everyone arrived at Songshan Inn.

As one of the only two post stations reaching Longhua Temple, the postmaster and the waiters there were all considered public officials and received salaries.

The post station could normally accommodate travelers for lodging, but they could only stay in the houses other than those where the royal family lived. Fifty percent of the fees would go into the national treasury.

When the royal family traveled, they received a notice that the post house would no longer allow ordinary pedestrians to stay.

Han Feng had arrived early and inspected the posthouse. The area within a radius of three miles had been cordoned off to ensure the emperor's safety.

When the emperor got off the carriage, Han Feng and the postmaster were already waiting at the entrance of the posthouse.

The construction style of Songshan Inn is similar to that of a siheyuan, but the difference is that there is a three-story wooden building in the middle of the siheyuan, and the wooden building has a separate courtyard surrounded by a wall.

The emperor, empress, and concubines of higher status lived on the third floor with the emperor, the other concubines lived on the second floor, and the princes lived on the first floor. There were special eunuchs guarding each floor, and no one could go to other floors without the emperor's order.

Ministers and their families lived in houses outside the emperor's residence.

Because the number of rooms in the post station was limited, officials of the fifth rank and above could live in a room alone, and their families could get a room; officials of the sixth rank and below could have two people in a room.

After everyone got off the carriage one after another, the postmaster led the way and took the emperor to the wooden building in the middle.

The concubines were led by the eunuchs and followed behind them, while other ministers and their families were led to their respective residences by the messengers and porters of the post station.

After settling the emperor's concubines and other princes, the postmaster came personally to greet Xiao Yu.

The man looked to be in his thirties, wearing a black robe and a black crown hat, and looked very neat.

"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness Prince Su and the Princess!"

When Xiao Yu got off the carriage holding Su Lingyue, he saw the postmaster and two janitors kneeling respectfully to greet them.

"Stand up and lead the way." Xiao Yu ordered.

The postmaster and the two storekeepers thanked them hurriedly and stood up to lead the way.

After passing through three hanging flower gates, the postmaster brought Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue to the first floor of the wooden building.

There are many rooms in the wooden building, and its construction style is a bit like the inns in the capital. There is a lobby on the first floor, and behind the lobby are residential houses, which seem to be about ten rooms.

Xiao Yu usually likes quietness and pays great attention to privacy.

It would be very noisy on the first floor, with people coming and going, so he couldn't help but stop and frown.

The postmaster seemed to see Xiao Yu's displeasure, and said flatteringly: "The prince, princess and the princes live on the first floor. There are not many princes coming, and there are still many empty rooms on the first floor. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess live on the far left. His Royal Highness Prince Jing has not chosen a room yet. The rooms on the far right are empty. It is quiet and less crowded there. The prince and princess can live there."

"Okay, let's choose that place." Xiao Yu's frown relaxed, and the postmaster also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yu chose the three connected rooms on the far right. She and Su Lingyue lived in the middle room, while Caidie Caiyi and Yunting Yanqing lived on both sides.

The postmaster opened the door and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the bedding and curtains inside are all brand new, including the basin and handkerchief. If there is anything missing, Your Majesty, just send someone to tell me."

Xiao Yu was very satisfied with what the postmaster had done, and his words became much gentler, "Well done, bring some tea first."

The postmaster was very happy to receive Xiao Yu's praise. His slightly plump face flushed with red. He smiled and said, "Yes, I'll ask someone to deliver it right away." After saying that, he walked out.

Xiao Yu carried Su Lingyue inside. Although the house was a bit old, it was very clean and the room was not small.

There is a round table at the entrance, behind the table is a screen, behind the screen is a carved wooden bed, and there is a wardrobe and dressing table on both sides.

Because there were no other post stations along the way, Su Lingyue only ate a few cakes for lunch. She was so hungry that she felt a little listless and had no energy.

Xiao Yu put the listless Su Lingyue on the bed, untied her cloak, and asked softly, "What would you like to eat, Yue'er? I'll have someone make it and send it over."

Su Lingyue opened her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Anything we usually eat will do."

Xiao Yu remembered that this was an inn in the wilderness, and there probably weren't any good cooks here, nor were there any dishes like those in the mansion. "Okay, I'll ask if they have any later."

The postmaster worked very efficiently. After a while, he brought a pot of tea and said through the screen, "Your Highness, this is our local Songshan tea. It is also very fragrant. You and the princess can have a taste."

"Yeah." Xiao Yu responded and asked, "What food do you have here?"

The postmaster replied respectfully, "The roasted rabbit here is delicious. We also have braised winter bamboo shoots, mushroom chicken soup, and seasonal vegetables. The staple foods include porridge, noodles, buns, and rice. What would your Highness and Princess want to eat?"

Indeed, the exquisite dishes that Su Lingyue usually loved to eat at home were not available here.

Xiao Yu scratched Su Lingyue's nose and asked, "What does Yue'er want to eat?"

Su Lingyue had been to this post station once before, but these things were not what she usually ate, so she only asked them to send some light porridge over.

Now she also wants to try these, "Roasted rabbit, is it delicious?" she asked.

Xiao Yu chuckled, "Not bad."

Then he said to the postmaster outside the screen, "Bring half a roasted rabbit, cut it up, stewed winter bamboo shoots, mushroom and chicken soup, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and porridge for the main course."

"Okay! Please wait a moment, Your Majesty and Princess. I will have someone bring it to you right away." The postmaster responded politely, closed the door and went to prepare food.

These were all prepared in advance by the post station, so they were delivered very quickly.

"It looks good." Xiao Yu looked at the food on the table with satisfaction, raised his eyes to look at the postmaster, and asked lightly: "Don't you have to serve His Majesty?"

The postmaster smiled and said, "There are ladies living up there, so it's not convenient for me to go up there. There are eunuchs serving there, so Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."

Xiao Yu nodded and asked, "Which room does your Majesty live in? I will see your Majesty later."

The postmaster said, "Your Majesty, please stay in the room on the far right of the third floor. It is the most spacious room with the best view."

"Which room does the Queen live in?"

"The Queen lives in the room to the right of Your Majesty. Why do you ask this, Your Majesty?"

"Nothing, just to avoid suspicion so as not to knock on the wrong door."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty has thought it over carefully."

"The king wants to have dinner with the princess, please leave first!"

After the postmaster left, Xiao Yu picked up Su Lingyue and went to eat.

Su Lingyue let Xiao Yu pick her up, put her arms around his neck, and looked at Xiao Yu with a frown, "Are you going to see the emperor?"

Judging from the current tense atmosphere, nothing good will happen if they meet, and Xiao Yu will be the one who suffers.

Xiao Yu curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, Yue'er, I just asked casually. We live in the same house and I know where he is, just in case."

Su Lingyue relaxed her brows after hearing what Xiao Yu said and nodded, "That's good."

"You must be hungry, eat something!" Xiao Yu sat down with Su Lingyue in his arms, picked up a piece of greasy rabbit meat and put it into Su Lingyue's mouth.

Xiao Yu looked at Su Lingyue eating like a squirrel, chuckled and asked, "How is it?"

Su Lingyue nodded and swallowed the food in her mouth. "It's roasted and fragrant, different from roast chicken or roast duck."

Xiao Yu stared at Su Lingyue and said, "The rabbits in the northern part of the Great Wall run all year round to avoid hunters, so they taste better. If... I have a chance in the future, I will take you to taste them."

Su Lingyue smiled and nodded, "Okay! Don't break your promise."

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently, "Okay!"
