The Love Imagination System
Part 112: Moving Trains
A few days later, the peak spring festival arrived.
Since midday, the imperial family in the palace had prepared themselves. They chose clothes and dressed up, then departed from the palace towards the city tower after three in the afternoon. Slope extends.
Soldiers held and waved imperial flags and marched, walking at a constant pace. The servants and eunuchs followed while carrying objects representing the imperial palace.
The front-most, most magnificent and largest chariot belonged to Emperor Baili. The emperor had been sitting in it in formal attire, waving to the people and smiling all the way.
People cheering. His boisterous voice increasingly rumbled as he saw King Changle's carriage pass behind Emperor Baili's carriage. Rarely does this rare moment happen.
At the peak spring festival this year, the people got lucky by seeing the emperor and King Changle greet them in person. Those who admired the two great men shed tears of joy.
After the carriage of Emperor Baili and King Changle, another carriage also passed by. It was the Empress Dowager's carriage, then followed by the carriage for the concubine.
Due to the recent troubles, the concubines who were able to attend the peak festival in the city tower only had Consort Jia and Consort Xian. The two rival concubines sat on separate trains.
The sky seemed to bless that imperial family. A gentle wind blew, and the imperial flags increasingly fluttered in the air. Everyone could feel the majesty of the humans sitting inside the carriage, feeling an unusual aura of glory.
Not that people who are glorified by the people feel the same way. In King Changle's carriage, Qingyi sat with her face bent.
Besides being annoyed that Baili Qingchen tightened the guard of the western courtyard and locked him away for days while the man was busy preparing for the festival, Baili Wuyuan's presence made him even more upset.
The little brat did not sit in his grandmother's car or his stepmother's. Baili Wuyuan instead directly ran inside King Changle's carriage and whined as Qingyi told him to get out. Now, the boy sat down sweetly, enjoying the greetings of the people to him.
“Teacher and student alike!”
Qingyi sneered at her husband and little grandchild. How not, neither Baili Wuyuan nor Baili Qingchen, both were enjoying the greetings and cries of admiration from the women standing lined up on the roadside, which formed a living fence along the city road. He thought, the couple grandfather – grandson and teacher – student was very narcissistic.
“Auntie, are you coming months?” baili Wuyuan asked as she looked at Qingyi.
“Why do you think so?” ask Qingyi.
“When in Fujian, my mother also often acted like you when it came to the moon. He became sensitive and looked at the world as if it were a joke. I see you are the same, you don't look at us as usual, but look at us like you want to eat us alive.”
“Little rice ball, because you're so smart, why don't you sit down with your father and instead join me?”
“I can't sit next to Ayahanda. He was a great emperor. As a prince, I must not tarnish his majesty.”
“Cih, how smart you talk!”
Baili Wuyuan spread his shoulders unconcernedly. Not only did he not want to sit with his father, Baili Wuyuan also did not want to join his father's main family. He could have sat down with Empress Dowager Ming, or had his own carriage, but the brat did not.
He was more comfortable sitting with his young grandfather.
In a moment, the entourage of the imperial family will arrive at the city tower. The palace guard troops in charge of escorting the imperial family stood for a kilometer towards the city tower.
They are all strong and strong troops. Baili Qingchen deliberately set him up as the main power base, while the secret bodyguards he placed in several corners of the city.
The inhabitants of the imperial city still enjoyed the grandeur of the imperial family. Their eyes sparkled brightly. Emperor Baili smiled, his heart delighted.
His people welcomed him, although he knew that their admiration was divided in two with King Changle. It was okay, right now he was not wanting to be bothered with excessive feelings of worry towards his uncle's strength.
“Really! I am not sorry to die either! But, isn't His Majesty King Changle also very majestic? I can even feel its aura from a distance!”
Those who heard him nodded in agreement. King Changle was indeed not inferior to Emperor Baili. Both of them are big figures Bingyue, the dream man of girls who reach adulthood. Besides being handsome, the two men had power in their hands.
“Is the woman sitting with King Changle the Princess Consort of Changle?” ask one of them. Then, the others followed the line of sight to King Changle's carriage in unison, staring at Qingyi.
“Maybe. I heard, he was the first to notice the matter of the concubines of His Majesty the Emperor. He also helped them in their healing process. Princess Consort Changle is really great!”
“Isn't that supposed to be? The person standing by the side of King Changle cannot be a weak woman.”
“But, I heard that before she married into the mansion, she was only the daughter of the concubine of former Prime Minister Liu. Never mind the rules, he was never even taught to read.”
They had heard of the prowess of Princess Empress Changle. Meeting in person like this, their hearts were quite happy.
No one would have thought that the wasted daughter of the former prime minister turned out to be so great and intelligent. They thought the former prime minister had wasted such a great talent and was unaware of it at all.
According to them, Qingyi might be more suited to the harem of Emperor Baili. Those people felt pity when they remembered that King Changle had a Little Prince Xiao Junjie whom he had loved three years ago. It was quite astonishing when they knew the Princess Empress could survive and build her own reputation.
Qingyi heard the conversation clearly because her ears were very sensitive to sounds, even if the voice was up to twenty meters away.
He asked the driver to stop the train. When the train stopped, he got off. Qingyi then approached Consort Jia's carriage and got inside.
“Why did Princess Consort Changle move? Is it possible that his relationship with King Changle is not very good or in trouble?” asked the people who were astonished because Qingyi suddenly moved the carriage.
“Entah.”
Baili Qingchen was also surprised that her empress suddenly got off and moved the carriage. After hearing the conversation of the residents who were nearby, he also came down and approached Consort Jia's carriage. Without a second thought, Baili Qingchen entered the carriage of Consort Jia.
Empress Dowager Ming who was astonished her carriage stopped then opened the curtain, and asked her coachman. “Why did you guys stop?”
The coachman replied, “Your Majesty, King Changle followed his Empress Princess who moved to Concubine Jia.”
Empress Dowager Ming shook his head at the behavior of the couple. The unstable couple, he thought. The train then drove back, heading towards the city tower.
Concubine Jia was surprised because Qingyi suddenly moved into her carriage and followed Baili Qingchen sitting awkwardly.
He looked at Qingyi and Baili Qingchen in turn. The horse carriage that the two people were supposed to fill became claustrophobic and the aura felt strange.
“Princess Empress, King Changle, why did you not choose to solve your problems in a more comfortable place instead of in my narrow carriage?”
Qingyi looked at Concubine Jia, she did not expect Consort Jia to give much comment. The woman said she wanted to follow him, but just like this she wanted to give up. What about the days ahead?
“There's too noisy. My ears are itching to hear the chatter of the residents who are talking about me and King Changle on a ridiculous topic.”
Concubine Jia nodded awkwardly, she did not understand the intent of Qingyi's words. Concubine Jia then turned to look at Baili Qingchen, but the man just kept silent without any intention of commenting or explaining. Facing his current empress should be in an unusual manner.
Meanwhile, behind Consort Jia's carriage was Consort Xian's carriage. Liu Erniang who knew of the incident clenched his hands furiously. His chest was tight to the point that he had difficulty breathing.
Damnit damnit! How dare the couple seize the attention that should have been intended for Emperor Baili!
