Chapter 137 The Imperial Envoy Has Arrived, We Can Go Home
After giving instructions, Mu Jintang prepared to take Tang Peipei down the mountain.
But Tang Peipei had just taken the first step when she felt a sharp pain in her legs, causing her legs to go weak. If Mu Jintang had not reacted quickly, she would have fallen to the ground.
Mu Jintang asked, "What's wrong?"
Tang Peipei smiled helplessly at Mu Jintang and said, "I haven't climbed a mountain like this for a long time. My feet are a little sore after walking such a long distance."
Mu Jintang said angrily, "I'm sorry! I was negligent."
Tang Peipei shook her head and said, "It's none of your business."
Mu Jintang thought about it, squatted in front of Tang Peipei, and said, "Come up, I'll carry you back."
Seeing the man squatting in front of him, his broad shoulders gave people the feeling that he was someone they could rely on and rely on.
Tang Peipei slowly lay on Mu Jintang's back, feeling a strange feeling in her heart, a feeling she had never had before.
She knew that she liked the man in front of her, because this man's appearance, figure, and temperament were all in line with her aesthetic standards and were her ideal type.
But it’s just like, a very simple like.
But at this moment, Tang Peipei felt that her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out.
She didn't know why this happened.
Lying on Mu Jintang's back, Tang Peipei felt inexplicably at ease.
So much so that when they got home, Tang Peipei had already fallen asleep on Mu Jintang's back.
Mu Jintang didn't want to wake her up, but thinking that she was already hungry before she came down the mountain, she finally asked her to get up and have dinner.
Tang Peipei was also very tired today. After eating, she took a short rest, washed up and went to bed.
Mu Jintang looked at the person lying next to him, who couldn't even open his eyes, and found it a little funny.
I thought, forget it, let her go today.
After Bai Heyi took over Qianzhou, many things needed to be dealt with.
So, after Mu Jintang was given a day off, he was drafted into the army.
Tang Peipei had no one to accompany her.
After staying in the mansion for two days, Tang Peipei felt very bored.
But thinking about what I saw on the street that day, I didn’t want to go out.
At this moment, she missed her previous business self so much. There were so many things to do every day that she couldn't stop at all.
Now I have nothing to do and I'm so bored.
Because I’m bored, I miss my family and Xiaotuanzi even more.
She hasn't seen Xiaotuanzi for a long time, and she doesn't know if he is doing well in the Princess's Mansion.
Do you miss your mother?
A few more days passed in the endless longing.
On this day, the new prefect that the people and Bai Heyi had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.
Also traveling with him was the imperial envoy sent by the emperor.
Bai Heyi brought Mu Jintang and local officials of all ranks to welcome them at the prefectural government office.
When the people heard that the new prefect and imperial commissioner had arrived, they all went out to watch.
The imperial envoy is a man in his thirties, holding the rank of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.
He not only brought the imperial edict, but also brought disaster relief supplies given by the emperor.
Now Qianzhou is in a state of disrepair and all supplies need to be dispatched from outside.
The imperial envoy arrived and sentenced all the captured enemy spies to death.
The previous prefect of Qianzhou was sentenced to exile, and his descendants would never be allowed to take the imperial examinations.
This is equivalent to cutting off Luo Cheng's chance of turning things around.
Another thing is to reward people based on their merits.
Those doctors who saved the people were rewarded one by one.
However, the natural disaster in Qianzhou also implicated local officials. After all, the disaster was too severe.
This is a once-in-a-century event.
However, considering that those officials actively cooperated, it can be said that there was no merit or fault.
The emperor is merciful and there is no punishment or reward.
However, Bai Heyi privately rewarded and encouraged those officials who actively cooperated and helped in capturing the enemy spies.
This is also a good time to win people's hearts.
So much so that those seemingly insignificant officials were very convinced of the fifth prince.
As for Tang Peipei and others, all their rewards were bestowed personally by the emperor after they returned to the capital.
Now that everything is over, the new prefects have arrived.
Then, it’s time for them to return to Beijing.
Knowing that she was going back to Beijing, Tang Peipei was so excited that she could hardly sleep.
Mu Jintang looked at her with some amusement.
Tang Peipei said as if it was a matter of course: "I'm eager to go home."
They still had to hurry on their journey, and Mu Jintang was worried that Tang Peipei wouldn't sleep well today and wouldn't be able to rest well later on.
Then he coaxed her softly, "Even so, you have to rest well today. I'm afraid you won't be able to rest well for a long time."
Tang Peipei naturally knew this, but when she thought about going home, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep.
Tang Peipei was also helpless. She looked at Mu Jintang and said, "Why don't you sing a song for me? Maybe I can fall asleep."
Mu Jintang was stunned by her suggestion.
He has never sung and he doesn't know how to sing.
However, Tang Peipei seemed to think that this idea was a good one the more he thought about it, and he looked at Mu Jintang with anticipation.
He felt very embarrassed when he saw it.
I saw that he didn't sing or speak for a long time.
Tang Peipei said: "No?"
Mu Jintang coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment.
The voice was barely audible: "Yeah."
If it wasn't already late at night and extremely quiet, Tang Peipei might not have been able to hear his voice.
Tang Peipei said: "Then I will teach you. Just sing the nursery rhymes that I often listened to when I was a child."
Mu Jintang asked: "Children's song?"
Tang Peipei explained: "It's a song for children."
Mu Jintang: "Yeah."
Tang Peipei thought for a moment and sang, "The pond is full of water, the rain has stopped, and the mud beside the field is full of loaches. I wait for you every day, waiting for you to catch loaches. Big brother, please, let's go catch loaches..."
This was a tune that Mu Jintang had never heard before, but it was particularly beautiful. He listened very carefully and learned silently.
But for some reason, as Tang Peipei sang, her voice gradually became smaller and smaller, and slowly it disappeared.
Mu Jintang looked at Tang Peipei in the moonlight, but saw that the man had his eyes closed and was breathing evenly.
It's a good idea.
Mu Jintang laughed in silence, pinched the corner of the quilt for Tang Peipei, and lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
Maybe because she was thinking about going back, Tang Peipei slept particularly well.
When I woke up, it was already bright outside, but the person next to me was nowhere to be seen.
Tang Peipei washed up and had breakfast with the help of her maid.
Looking at Zizhu who was serving her, she asked, "Where is the general?"
Zizhu stepped forward and said, "Madam, the general is packing his things in the study."
Tang Peipei nodded, "Then let's pack up quickly so we can leave early."
Zi Su smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. The general has given instructions early in the morning. The servants have packed everything and are waiting for Madam to pack everything. Then we can set off."
Tang Peipei was very embarrassed.
Love is just waiting for her?
Alas! She had never thought that Mu Jintang would spoil her so much, as if he had arranged everything properly and she didn't have to worry about anything at all.
Tang Peipei blushed and said to the two maids, "Then let's get ready to go."
The two men responded and asked someone to load the things that had been packed earlier onto the carriage.
When Tang Peipei arrived at the door, Mu Jintang was already waiting there.
They all had to meet up with Bai Heyi and return to Beijing together.
