Be A Virtuous Wife! So Tough!

C173 – Expedition

The peach blossoms bloomed in April. The entire Ye City was filled with the aura of spring. Due to the request for peace in North Yue, the spring this year seemed even more lively.

“Quick, bring that pot… and that pot with the flower print on the bottom… Don’t forget to bring more fruits. Sisters love to eat…”

Tang Yue was wearing a new silk robe. The color of the lake water was blue. His hair was tied up with a ribbon of the same color, which complemented this season.

He had arranged for his sister to leave the city for a holiday tomorrow. He wanted to take them out to relax.

“You really don’t need me to accompany you?” Crown Prince Zhao asked again. In fact, he really wanted to see Tang Yue nod his head, but Tang Yue refused without even turning his head. “No need, no need. You are busy with work. Go ahead.”

Tang Yue was picking up the pearl flowers sent by the craftsmen. It had been a long time since he had given the sisters any gifts. He had just given them some pearl flowers worn by young girls. Each and every young girl had to dress up in order to look good.

However, pearl flowers were not something that could be given in any style. He had to choose which one was suitable for the younger sister, so he did not notice Crown Prince Zhao’s gloomy expression.

“This won’t do. The pearls are too big. Change it to smaller ones…”

“Tang Yue…”

“This color is not good. It’s too gaudy. Change it to tender pink. It would be best if it could be the same color as peach blossoms.”

“Tang Yue…”

“The ribbon is tied too rigidly. There’s no need to be so complicated. Just tie a bow, it’s fine. The girls like it…”

“Tang, Yue!” Crown Prince Zhao shouted in a low voice. The other party turned around in a daze. “Huh?”

Crown Prince Zhao took a deep breath. “I’ll go with you tomorrow.” Why was his wife able to accompany a group of young ladies out for fun? Why was he left aside for official business?

“Really?” Tang Yue looked at him suspiciously. Because of the peace request in North Yue, there had been a lot of things happening in the Imperial Court recently. Crown Prince Zhao had taken a lot of jobs, so how could he have any free time?

Crown Prince Zhao looked at him with such a suspicious look. Suddenly, his heart was filled with anger. “I always keep my word!”

Tang Yue immediately laughed. He threw away the hairpin and walked in front of Crown Prince Zhao. “You said that. Don’t go back on your word!”

Crown Prince Zhao was finally comforted by his surprised look. He thought to himself, ‘It’s not a big deal for him to do one or two shifts for the sake of my wife.’

With this decision, Crown Prince Zhao changed his clothes and went out. He was going to finish everything in two days in one day. This was Crown Prince’s style of doing things.

The next morning, there was a drizzle in the sky. The sky was gloomy. Tang Yue woke up early and sighed at the weather.

It was all because there was no weather forecast in this era. No wonder the yellow calendar said it was not a good day to travel.

“Why don’t we go another day?” Crown Prince Zhao really wanted to drag him back to bed. It was the best weather to exercise in bed.

“Not good. I have already made an appointment with my sisters. Even Ya wants to go together. It will rain if it rains. Let’s find an attic to take a look at the scenery and the wind.”

Tang Yue filtered out the few villages under his name and found that there was no suitable place. It was either too far away or not very good scenery.

Crown Prince Zhao got up from the bed and only approved a single piece of clothing. He hugged Tang Yue from behind. “What are you worried about? Since the heavens are not beautiful, why don’t we invite the sisters to the manor and play in the yard?”

Tang Yue turned around and rolled his eyes at him. “Then it won’t be called Tun Qing.” He just wanted to find an opportunity to bring his sisters out to relax.

Being locked up at home all day long, how could he know about this matter in the world?

“Then why don’t we go to West Mountain Buddhist Temple to look at the flowers? The back mountain of the temple is full of peach blossoms, which is a good scene.”

Tang Yue had heard of this place before. “But… there should be a lot of people going to the temple, right?” He brought his seven beautiful sisters and did not want to go to a crowded place.

“It’s raining today. I think many people have changed their schedule. There is a limit to the number of people going to the backyard every day. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will not be able to bloom for a few days.”

Tang Yue thought about it and felt that the place was indeed not bad. It would be a pity if he didn’t go there once. So, he sent someone to inform Yueyang Marquis’s Mansion and State Duke Heng’s Mansion.

After breakfast, he packed up the things he needed to bring and ordered the people to follow him. It was already quarter of an hour past noon. Tang Yue went to State Duke Heng’s Mansion to pick up Tang Ya first. He thought he could just bring a few people with him, but when he arrived at the place, he was dumbfounded.

Good fellow, he thought that the Crown Prince’s journey was already complicated enough. He had followed dozens of people, but in the end, Noble Heir of State Duke Heng Concubine went out in a formation that was not any smaller than theirs.

Tang Yue finally understood why Crown Prince Zhao wanted to mention the limited number of people in the backyard. Presumably, their entire family would be able to get all the quotas if they went.

Tang Ya was dressed in a long cherry-colored dress. Her hair was tied into a bun. There were a few simple hairpins in her hair. One of them was a wooden hairpin given to her by Tang Yue. She looked charming and did not seem to be a burden.

“Brother!” Tang Ya saw Tang Yue waving his hand excitedly and running over with the dress in his hand. Behind her was a maidservant with a ticket.

“Consort Noble Heir… you can’t run like this. Noble Heir… Concubine Noble Heir… This is outside…”

Tang Yue raised his eyebrows and grabbed her. Under the disapproving gaze, he pulled her onto his carriage. He closed the door and shouted, “Let’s go!”

Tang Ya lifted the curtain and greeted Crown Prince Zhao. She glanced at the group behind her and said with a smile, “Ha, let’s see how they are going to control me!”

Tang Yue flicked the back of her head. “You can tell Noble Heir if you don’t like them. You have to make yourself unhappy.”

Tang Ya shook her head. “It’s not that I don’t like them. Right now, half of the servants around me are brought from home. Naturally, they will follow my lead. Most of the people in State Duke’s Mansion are old mama who know how to behave. With them around, I don’t have to worry about my manners being bad.”

State Duke Heng only had one son. Naturally, Noble Heir Fei was also the center of attention. Most of the people stared at her and made mistakes to replace her position. Only when she saw her elder brother today did Tang Ya let go a little.

Tang Yue looked at her face and saw that her face was like a peach blossom. After getting married, she looked even more gorgeous than when she was at home. Her eyes were full of vigor and her skin was white and red. He knew that she had been doing well in State Duke’s Mansion.

“Who else is in the carriage at the back?” Tang Yue wanted to ask just now. Tang Ya probably did not need to go out alone.

Tang Ya curled her lips. “She is State Duke’s concubine, the one who used to be the housekeeper.”

“Oh? Why did she come too? Did she make things difficult for you?” Tang Yue had specially investigated this person before. After all, it was unreasonable for a concubine to be in charge of the family. He suspected that the other party was either too scheming or too capable, which was why he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

However, the results were not like this. Moreover, he had seen this housekeeper’s concubine before. He did not have a deep impression of her, so she was probably not a top figure.

“Yes, she said that she would go to the temple to offer incense along the way. It has been a long time since she went there. I thought that there was nothing much to do in the residence, so I brought her along with me.”

Tang Yue looked at him helplessly. He was afraid that Tang Ya was too innocent to be deceived. He had even told her to stay away from this person.

Tang Ya saw this and quickly explained, “In short, from the looks of it, this aunt is still very obedient. Recently, I have to learn from her as a butler. It is not easy to refuse.”

Tang Yue felt a little relieved when he heard her say this. In the end, he was living a life of being paranoid and suspicious every day. He did not look like a good person.

“By the way, Brother, have you seen the prince recently?” Tang Ya asked, feeling a little embarrassed.

“No, he didn’t tell you where he went?”

Tang Ya was afraid that Tang Yue would misunderstand and quickly shook her head, “No. Noble Heir said that he has an official position and is about to leave the city to do something. The return date is uncertain, it will take at least one or two months.”

“How long has he been gone?”

“He’s been gone for more than half a month,” Wang Yao said. “There’s no news from him, Wang Yao said.” Tang Ya is also very concerned about him. After the wedding, she got along well and peacefully. Although she did not reach the realm of Qin Se and Ming, they still treated each other as guests and nothing unpleasant happened.

“Oh, don’t worry. He is indeed busy, but there won’t be any danger.” Tang Yue naturally knew what Ping Shun had gone to do. However, this was a secret, so it was better that Tang Ya did not know.

Hearing him say so, Tang Ya did not worry blindly. When Tang Yue asked her if Noble Heir was good to her, she even smiled and teased him. I wonder if Crown Prince is good to Brother?

Tang Yue was a little embarrassed, but he still answered sincerely, “Of course it is.”

Tang Yue would not be embarrassed to answer a man’s question.

He saw how good Crown Prince Zhao was to him and felt it in his heart. It was good that he could make a man who was very manly accommodate his habits.

“Brother, it’s rare to have someone with good intentions in your life. You must cherish it.” He did not know if Noble Heir of State Duke Heng would one day become her lover.

“Don’t worry. Love can be nurtured, but it needs time. Don’t sentence him to death easily. Marriage needs two people to maintain it together.”

Tang Yue was afraid that Tang Ya would reject him because she did not have a good impression of Ping Shun.
