Yuqiongyin

Listening to the sound of horse hooves gradually fading away, Rong Yunqiu was still holding the cup of almost cold tea, looking in the direction she left outside the courtyard wall.

Putting the teacup aside, he took out the jade pendant given to him by Chu Chenning from his clothes. He did not put it in the brocade box, but kept it close to his heart.

Rong Yunqi carefully observed the jade pendant in his hand. On the front was an exquisitely carved phoenix holding a flower, and on the back was the royal emblem. Searching the original owner's memory, this phoenix was the guardian god of Zhulin since its founding, and the bouquet of flowers it held was also the national flower, called Yuqiong.

He chuckled and stretched out his hand to trace the flower. It was also called Yuqiong, what a coincidence.

The next day, news came from the palace that the favored Sixth Prince had an argument with the Queen and was punished to ride on horseback in Shengjing for three months under curfew.

At the morning court today, the imperial censors who were preparing to submit impeachment memorials were temporarily unable to understand the thoughts of the empress who was in her prime sitting on the throne.

In the past, court officials had impeached the arrogant Sixth Prince before, but considering how favored the Sixth Prince was, the Queen's punishment was just a lot of noise with little action, just a show for the court officials to see.

I don't know what they were arguing about this time. Yesterday they were still selecting a husband for the Sixth Prince, but today he was directly punished to go to Qingzhou, and the imperial decree to grant him marriage has not been issued yet.

Qingzhou is a land of plenty, not too far away, but it is not a remote and cold place. However, the spoiled Sixth Prince would probably suffer for several months if he went there.

However, the Sixth Prince's biological mother, Feng Jun, sent some gifts to the Rong Mansion and also sent several medical officers to visit Young Master Rong. Does this mean that she has recognized this prince?

Naturally, other people do not understand what the royal family does; only the person involved knows the purpose of doing so.

At this time, the protagonist was lying on his side in the golden ebony carriage, listening to the hustle and bustle on the street. He couldn't help feeling a little irritated. He thought he would only be away for more than a month, but he never expected that his mother would ask him to leave the capital for three months. How long would it be before he could see Rong Yunling?

Chu Chenning lifted a corner of the ink-colored curtain, and the phoenix embroidered with gold and silver threads on the curtain seemed to be about to flap its wings and fly as she moved.

Now the carriage has left the gate of Shengjing City. Chu Chenning looked back and seemed to see Rong Yunluo's figure on the city wall.

Rong Yunqiu also stood on the city wall for a long time, and only set off to return home when he could no longer see the large group of carriages.

Until Shengjing was out of sight, Chu Chenning withdrew his gaze, lowered the curtain, and watched Fulin, who was half-kneeling on the vermilion carpet in the carriage, making tea. He couldn't help but think of last night in the pavilion in the middle of Rong Mansion Lake.

My thoughts gradually drifted away, and then Fulin gently called me back: "Your Highness, the tea is ready."

"Yeah." Chu Chenning stood up and took the teacup, took a sip slowly, and then asked, "Is Marco ready?"

"It has been prepared according to His Highness's instructions and is now outside the carriage."

Chu Chenning put down the teacup and raised her hand, and Fulin understood what she meant.

The carriage stopped, and Chu Chenning, who had changed into a black suit, got off the carriage, jumped onto the horse neatly, and instructed Fulin: "Just stop and go along the way. The secret guards are around, so you still have to pay more attention to safety."

"Yes, Fulin understands."

Fulin bowed and saluted, then watched Chu Chenning put on his hood, then galloped away with Fuying and the other bodyguards.
