Jiangnan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early in the morning, just as the sky was lightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few inconspicuous carriages departed from the corner gate of the Imperial Palace, heading directly towards the city gate along the Capital City Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trip was kept as simple as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the accompanying Palace Attendants or the luggage, everything was simplified several times over, ensuring no unnecessary burden before setting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first carriage was slightly larger, carrying both the Emperor and Empress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not as spacious as previous carriages, it wasn’t cramped either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing dressed as a common woman, with simple silver attire and jewelry, as ordinary as could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao wore a sky-blue long shirt, holding a folding fan, resembling a refined scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their outfits transformed them from traveling merchants to a more ordinary young couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second carriage was smaller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also only seating two people, Zi Su and Li Shengan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yue’s calm nature made leaving her in Duanning Palace reassuring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Su, being bold and dramatic, was more suited to say and do things that others dared not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Li Shengan, he was more like Zhao Junyao’s personal Butler, indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them also posed as a young couple for this trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appearing like the companions and household servants of a regular family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, they looked like just an ordinary family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third carriage carried the luggage, neither much nor valuable, just some ordinary household items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How ordinary, you ask?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they encountered bandits while traveling through the mountains, there wouldn’t be much temptation to rob them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Risking life and limb for a beheading crime but reaping little profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an unworthy venture wasn’t worth undertaking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was all for appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Forest Army, Hidden Guards, accompanying Scouts, Imperial Censors, Ministry of Works’ officials, et cetera, were all fully present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, more people than any previous visit accompanied them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the safety of the Emperor and Empress was more important than anything else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capital City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Emperor and Empress left the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>State affairs were handed over to the Crown Prince and the Cabinet ministers to manage jointly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The administration of the harem was fully entrusted to the four concubines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, nothing significant was anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all goes as expected, this period would naturally be stable and peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the concubines were somewhat envious of the Empress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, everyone didn’t go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor took no one but the Empress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made them feel at ease and continue with their daily lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harem is like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as everyone is the same, they can find peace of mind and not cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one loses favor, they all lose favor together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a reward is given, everyone gets a reward together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they stay in the palace, they all stay in the palace together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing brings harmony to the harem more than treating everyone equally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Ministry of Works had already sent people with mortar to repair the river dike, the Emperor and Empress did not need to rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could slowly take their time enjoying the scenery on the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the scorching heat, there was little mood for leisure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no choice but to travel while cooling off along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor and Empress finally reached the territory of Jiangnan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the carriage, Xia Ruqing was a bit sluggish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor, Jiangnan is even hotter than the Capital City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips were dry, and she was drowsy, being someone who gets sleepy in the heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao gave her a drink from a canteen, softly reassuring her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just bear it a little longer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In two or three days, we’ll be in the city!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we can find the largest inn by Qinhuai River to relax for a few days, how about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing perked up after a few sips of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounds great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the time comes, I want to disguise myself as a man and listen to the latest tunes on the river barges!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao found her request mildly amusing but agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing chuckled happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagining the scene of a flock of beauties surrounding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though everyone was a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who doesn’t like beautiful things?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if just for eye candy, it’s worth it!\u003C\u002Fp>",1346,"2026-05-30T07:41:36.139Z","2026-06-01T04:30:40.316Z",1,"novelbin.me","c333a5c2685d1bbdcbb5943381bdae927845ed984d942fe5aa990a268d6122c2","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-1038","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-1037",1204,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-cover.jpg"]
