The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies! Chapter 981: Kids Aren’t Fun Anymore When They Grow Up

The procession didn’t move very quickly, as there were quite a few people walking on foot.

The resting place for midday had been arranged in advance; it was a small town less than forty li from the Capital City.

Yun Jiao and their carriage were at the forefront. Upon reaching the town, Jiang Youzhi found her a room, and she finally took off her grand outfit and changed into a light gauzy dress.

The phoenix crown on her head was also removed. Since Yang Ying hadn’t arrived yet, there was no one to do her hair. Yun Jiao applied so hair oil to smooth her frizzy hair and simply inserted a hairpin before letting it be.

She ca out to see Qi Er and You Er playing in the courtyard. Delighted, Yun Jiao called out, "Qi Er, You Er!" She opened her arms wide with a smile.

Qi Er walked over with few steps, shyly smiled, and saluted Yun Jiao, "Aunt Gu."

You Er stood beside Qi Er and also gave a proper salute, "Mother."

The two little brats didn’t even co over for a hug, making Yun Jiao’s face fall. "Indeed, they say kids aren’t as fun when they grow up."

You Er smiled helplessly, "Mother, we’re outside; it can’t be the sa as at ho."

Yun Jiao glared at him, "What’s wrong with being outside? Can’t even have a hug? Hmph, if you keep this up, you’ll end up just like your father."

Jiang Youzhi cleared his throat and ca out from inside, "Like what? Where am I not eting my wife’s standards?"

Yun Jiao humd disdainfully, "Don’t you know yourself?"

"So mature for your age, you’re like a little old man already. I feel like you were never young."

Jiang Youzhi put his arm around her waist, "Where am I old?"

Then he leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Tonight, I’ll show you what youthful vigor ans."

You Er watched his seemingly oblivious-to-the-world affectionate parents, shook his head, and expressionlessly pulled Qi Er away.

Ha, saying he’s like his father; he’s much more sensible than his father. In such a populated place, his father is still so careless.

Perhaps because there were so many people, just stopping for lunch took over an hour.

When they set out again in the afternoon, it was nearly the end of the afternoon.

Fearing they wouldn’t reach the stopping place before dark, the speed of the caravan noticeably increased.

Yun Jiao swayed in the carriage and soon dozed off against Jiang Youzhi’s shoulder.

Jiang Youzhi, afraid she might not be comfortable while sleeping, carefully took off her shoes and let her rest her head on his lap.

As it was getting dark, they finally arrived at the night’s resting place.

The resting place was in a county city near Xiang City.

Originally, officials suggested building a traveling palace here for the emperor’s convenience, but the emperor didn’t want to trouble the people, so he declined.

The resting area was a fairly nice garden offered by a local gentry.

The garden was quite large, and Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao were allocated a room. Yang Ying had to sleep on a mat inside, and Du Ruo slept in the outer hallway.

At night, Yun Jiao, worried about Yang Ying overhearing sothing she shouldn’t, didn’t allow Jiang Youzhi to touch her.

Jiang Youzhi also didn’t feel comfortable, so he let it go.

The next morning, they set off again early.

Just as they started, the musicians began playing the drums and winds.

Impatiently, from inside the emperor’s carriage, he said, "Stop, stop, don’t play anymore. It’s already hot, and the music is just making it more irritable."

He was never fond of pomp and circumstance, and if it weren’t for the officials’ insistence, he wouldn’t have brought the royal orchestra along at all.

Eunuch Shui, attending closely, quickly relayed the ssage, and the band imdiately stopped.
