He Ruoxue bowed slightly, "The road is bumpy and difficult to travel on, the commercial roads are crowded, and the journey will inevitably be delayed, and the mountain road is not considered. Therefore, the waterway is the best choice."

Wen Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and nodded in agreement, "You are careful, keep talking."

"The waterway is not only peaceful, but also runs through Dawen Country. It can be said that you can pass through the hinterland of every city in Dawen by waterway. There are mostly rich village merchants on both sides of the waterway, which are relatively prosperous, and the scenery is also good. The most important thing is that if you take the waterway, you can also walk at night. It is possible to sail, and the empress can also have a good rest, wouldn't it be a multiplicity of actions."

"This method is very good, what does the queen think?"

"The concubine also thinks it's good." Ye Chu nodded slightly, and responded with vigor.

"Okay, okay, let's go by water. I don't know that Concubine Rong still has such considerations. It's inconvenient to give rewards when she's away from home. Let's wait until I return to the palace to give rewards."

The corners of He Ruoxue's mouth curled up slightly, she lowered her head and said with a light smile: "The concubine is just to share the worries of the emperor and queen, I dare not ask for any reward."

As soon as Wen Zheng was about to answer, Ye Chu squeezed his hand and said, "Concubine Rong, the emperor's reward should be demanded. The emperor's actions must be extraordinary. It’s too late to regret.”

"The concubine thanked the emperor and empress, so the concubine will retire first."

After He Ruoxue left, Wen Zheng raised his eyebrows a little, slightly surprised, "When did the Empress get so close to Concubine Rong, she would ask me for a valuable reward for her?"

The rewards he mentioned were just ordinary things, just one or two rewards.But now, since the empress said she was extraordinary, she must not dismiss it casually.

"Your majesty, what are you talking about? Isn't it the duty of a queen to be harmonious in the harem?" The corner of Ye Chu's mouth curled into a slight smile, of course only she knew the deep meaning.

Since she accepted He Ruoxue's overture, she should also respond.

Asking the emperor for expensive gifts is nothing more than giving her a reassurance.

Besides, she really didn't have much energy, so to deal with He Ruoxue and Qin Xinrou along the way, it's better to make He Ruoxue feel that she really trusts her.

Firstly, it can stabilize He Ruoxue, and secondly, it can also drive a wedge between them.

Even if they don't have any intersection at all, it can keep them from forming an alliance.

"You, I don't know what you're planning." Wen Zheng looked at Ye Chu helplessly, then waved his hands and said, "That's all, as long as the Queen is happy."

After the team rested for a while, Wen Zheng asked General Tong to contact the water boat, and the group changed from land to water.

After boarding the boat, Ye Chu's spirit finally improved, and Wen Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Xinrou on the side looked at He Ruoxue who came out of the main cabin with a smile on her face, and stomped her feet angrily.

Why, she and He Ruoxue are both concubines, but this trip to the north, He Ruoxue took the limelight, and she was left out all the way.

Qin Xinrou's face was ugly, and a sternness flashed in her eyes. Let's see how long you can be proud!

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he caught a glimpse of the little eunuch on the deck holding snacks, which seemed to be for the emperor.

Qin Xinrou rolled her eyes, stepped forward quickly, and blocked the little eunuch's way.

The little eunuch was startled, and subconsciously took a step back, "What is your empress doing?"

Qin Xinrou looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, she pulled the little eunuch aside.

He took out a few pieces of jewelry that he was carrying with him, and stuffed them on the front of the little eunuch, "I'm in a hurry to go out, you should take these jewelry first, and naturally there will be arrangements when you go back."

The little eunuch swallowed, such a temptation was undoubtedly huge for him.

In the palace before, those concubines naturally stuffed money, but it didn't fall into his hands, and those grand dukes took it.

This time he went north, the emperor ordered him to come out and become a personal eunuch, and that's how he got such a good thing.

Although he was happy in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he looked at Qin Xinrou in embarrassment, "Ma'am, I'm afraid this is inappropriate... The servant is just a servant, so I can't help you."

"You don't have to worry, I just want you to help me pay attention to the emperor's food, in case the emperor is not used to it."

The little eunuch was in a dilemma for a while, and then reluctantly accepted, "Your Majesty's heart, this slave should confess to the emperor."

"It's good to know what's in your heart."

The little eunuch bowed, "Your Majesty, the slave is leaving now. The emperor is still waiting for the slave's snacks."

"Go."

Looking at the back of the little eunuch leaving, Qin Xinrou breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt very angry.

When did she actually degenerate to the point where she needed a little eunuch to help speak good words!

After a few days on the boat, he had a good rest, and some trivial matters were left to He Ruoxue to arrange, so there was nothing to worry about, Ye Chu's condition was getting better and better.

Wen Zheng was also relieved a lot, and finally put his mind on some scenery on the road.

But also because of this, He Ruoxue didn't have the chance to show her courtesy.

Originally, she could go into the cabin to care about Ye Chu, but now, when she went in a few times, the emperor hugged Ye Chu to enjoy the scenery, which caused her a lot of dislike.

She felt uncomfortable, and disturbed the emperor and queen, which was not pleasing to both sides.

As time passed, she went less and less.

Most of the maids and servants brought out from the palace are based on winks.

The palace maids and servants who were respectful to her a few days ago have also changed their appearance now.

He Ruoxue was angry, but had nowhere to vent it.

I can only swear in my heart, these dog slaves, sooner or later you will regret it!

Qin Xinrou saw her angry appearance, and Qin Xinrou naturally would not let go of this excellent opportunity to taunt her.

Shi Shiran stepped forward, "Hey, isn't this the celebrity in front of the queen, Concubine Rong? What's wrong, this is it?"

"Qin Xinrou, don't talk sarcasticly. Why, are you free and have nothing to do? Take care of my business?"

"Oh, don't you feel worthless for you? When this queen uses you, she treats you in every possible way, and when she doesn't use you, she kicks you. If it were me, I would always feel uncomfortable in my heart."

He Ruoxue didn't understand what she meant, it was just because she saw that she went to the Queen's less often now, and felt that she was out of favor, so she came to laugh at her.

She slowly hooked the corners of her lips, and naturally she had a superficial smile, "Concubine Lao Shu is bothering you, and the queen has her own considerations. Even the emperor, when he returns to the palace, he will know it well. Don't bother Concubine Shu to miss you."

After finishing speaking, He Ruoxue strode away past Qin Xinrou.

Qin Xinrou was left to speculate secretly.
