After arriving at the inn, the emperor had not returned. It didn't take a guess to know that he would inspect the accounts of local officials and visit some local families before returning in the evening.
Asked to get some water, Jinxin wanted to soak her feet.
Caihong was busy, so it was naturally not as convenient to go out as in the palace. The emperor had to practice frugality and did not bring many people from the palace. Jinxin only brought two personal maids and two young eunuchs.
Naturally, the young eunuch could only serve outside and do menial work, while there were two maids serving inside the house.
But Caixia was not seen today. Caixia was busy all by herself. Jinxin frowned immediately, "Where did Caixia go?"
"She said to go do some business and let the slave take you out later." Caihong said hurriedly.
Jin Xin was immediately unhappy, "Why didn't she report this to me?"
Caixia was also confused when she heard this. Caixia had always been smarter than herself. Many times, Caixia was actually bossing her around. Caixia knew that she was not smart enough, so she listened to her in everything. She really didn't know why Caixia was like this.
Seeing Caihong's silent and helpless look, Jinxin was helpless and didn't want to blame too much. Caihong was a relatively honest person with no ill-intentioned attitude. He only did more things and said less. Jinxin could see this, so some people in the palace For the more rigorous matters, apart from arranging Lianrong and Cuigu, Jinxin basically asked Caihong to do it.
Caixia seems to be fake and shrewd. She likes to do things on the bright side. She must show that she is not lazy in everything, but she is also smart enough. Although most of them are clever and serious in doing things, she is just more impetuous and has a slow mind. It's also because of this that he hasn't been promoted for a long time.
According to what she likes in her heart, Jin Xin likes Rainbow more.
Caixia continued to be a second-class maid, which was not aggrieved.
After being out for so many days, she was actively serving him in everything, but today she didn't see him and didn't report anything. If something happened, it would be a big trouble.
The people around her, the officials who serve her, must be sent to follow her. Naturally, they must be careful in their conduct and conduct. They must not abuse their power, drive at will, or make mistakes, which will be recorded in the annals of history.
"Tell Xiao Huazi to find someone and tell her not to talk nonsense outside." Jin Xin ordered.
Caihong hurried out to call for help.
But Xiao Huazi came back less than half a quarter of an hour after he left, saying, "Mother, Sister Caixia is back."
Caixia happily stepped forward and saluted, "Madam, please put on your shoes, I will give you a surprise."
Jin Xin frowned, what a surprise, but don't make anything happen.
"Tell me, what's the surprise?" Jin Xin's tone was not gentle.
Caixia still didn't feel it and said with a smile, "Just come with me, everyone outside is waiting."
Jin Xin had a premonition that something was not good and hurried out to take a look.
In the lobby, many slaves were waiting, and a lady came forward and said, "Madam, I heard that you want to fly a kite. We have already prepared the kite. How about we go together?"
Jinxin looked at Caixia, she was very happy, thinking that the matter was taken care of by the empress.
Jin Xin didn't want to show off, but she couldn't help but offend the lady.
The group of people stepped forward to the large grassland, and the lady introduced, "We have specially cleared this place for your Majesty's enjoyment. There are more than ten styles of kites here, your Majesty can choose from them."
Jin Xin looked at the cleared space and felt a little uneasy. Naturally, she couldn't leave at this time. If she were to leave, she would definitely be said to be arrogant and despise the humble people.
The emperor is on this tour to be close to the people, to create a reputation as a wise king, and to understand the sufferings of the people. If he does one thing wrong, this tour will be a disaster for him.
After all, Caixia is not suitable to stay by her side.
She is not young anymore. After returning, he will just let her go.
"Madams, you are so polite. I am not very good at flying kites. But when I came here, I saw the children having fun. I was very happy. I never thought that the maids would get it wrong. But along the way, I watched With the innocent smiles on the children's faces, you can know that Mr. Yang is managing well, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the children are carefree. The emperor must be very pleased with such a grand scene."
When Mrs. Yang heard this, her face showed joy and excitement, and she immediately said, "Exactly, our master understands the people's hearts the most and dedicates himself to the people."
Jin Xin smiled, picked a kite at random, and asked, "Mrs. Yang, why not ask the children to fly the kite together? It is a great pleasure to have fun with the people."
How could Mrs. Yang not agree?
"Your Majesty is truly kind-hearted."
Immediately, he spread the word that anyone who wanted to come could come and play.
Seeing that they didn't move, Jin Xin stepped forward and picked up a seven or eight-year-old girl and said, "Can you teach me?"
The little girl was a little nervous and scared. Jin Xin knew that her parents had revealed her identity. In addition, the common people had awe and fear of people in high positions. The common people had never been exposed to it, so they would really worry about it, as the storytellers said. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
Jin Xin was helpless and tilted her head, "I really don't know how to play. I think you are cute. You will definitely teach me, right?"
The little girl was praised for her cuteness, and she immediately smiled. The empress smiled like a fairy like the beauty in the painting.
"I know it, I can teach you." The little girl said, picked up the kite, and said to Jin Xin seriously, "Put it up like this, relax the string, take advantage of the wind, run up, and then fly up , you need to let go of the thread on your hand, pull it, and let it go as the wind blows."
The little girl said and started running. The wind just came and blew up the swallow kite. The little girl smiled and said, "Empress, come here."
Jin Xin said to the children behind her, "Come too, it's more fun when there are more people. Let's see who can fly higher."
Mrs. Yang also said, "Children, let's fly kites together."
Children successively joined in, and as there were more and more kites on the grass and it became more and more lively, adults also began to join.
Competing with each other to see who can fly higher.
Jinxin held a phoenix kite in her hand. She was wearing a long skirt and couldn't run. It was about to fall. Jinxin was anxious and grabbed the kite string with one hand.
Jin Xin looked back and said, "Your Majesty, you are here."
The emperor fiddled with it a few times, and the kite flew up again. Looking at Jin Xin, he smiled and said, "I just saw a lot of kites flying here, all over the sky. The scenery was very good, so I wanted to watch the excitement. , Unexpectedly, my beloved concubine is here to enjoy herself with the people."
When he came just now, he saw her among a group of children, holding a kite and playing with it hard, but her skills were awkward and she couldn't express her urgency. She was really cute and nervous.
Children kept teasing her, and she was helpless and helpless. Seeing that the kite was about to fall, she couldn't take a step and started running, but she was very anxious.
