On the way to the palace, Li Mingjin locked his eyes tightly on Luo Shuyu: "Why did you go to the palace to find concubine mother yesterday?"

Luo Shuyu only smiled and said nothing, but Li Mingjin couldn’t hold back at all, he said, "Yu'er, tell me quickly what were you talking about when you met concubine mother?"

    Luo Shuyu didn't tell him the truth: "It's nothing, just chatting normally."

"Then why did she go to look for father after you left yesterday." He seemed vaguely guessed something, but he was not sure.

    Luo Shuyu pretended to be ignorant and shook his head. Who asked Li Mingjin to enter the palace the day before yesterday and didn’t tell him the reason for looking the Emperor Tiansheng. He obviously wanted that he could go to the north with him, but he still didn't say anything. A small punishment was still necessary.

    Until they stood in front of Emperor Tiansheng, Li Mingjin still couldn’t find out from Luo Shuyu about the purpose of his entering the palace yesterday, which made him anxious.

    Concubine Lin came here just now, and she was pleading for leniency for her natal family. Emperor Tiansheng was really annoyed by her. But when he saw that the husband and wife were in a good mood, they were in good spirits, and the young couple also looked very affectionate, he felt more comfortable.

    Emperor Tiansheng called the two of them to the palace where he usually lived: "Sit down, you two are still being polite to me here. "

Li Mingjin sat down and he pulled Luo Shuyu to sit down too.

    Emperor Tiansheng laughed and said: "You child, yesterday, Concubine Mei came to me to intercede on your behalf, and it was the matter about Shuyu goes to the north."

Li Mingjin turned to look at Luo Shuyu: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Then Your Highness also didn't tell me that you want me to go to the north." Luo Shuyu showed a little temper, and glanced at him, "was it because father didn't agree?"

Li Mingjin rubbed his nose, looked at Emperor Tiansheng again, and said eagerly, "Father asked us to enter the palace today, is it because you agree?"

    Emperor Tiansheng took a look at his henpecked husband, and pointed to him: "You are the only one who is smart."

    Li Mingjin's eyes lit up: "Really?"

    Emperor Tiansheng sighed: "If I still disagree, what will you do?"

    Li Mingjin said bluntly: "I have no choice but to take Shuyu away quietly."

    Emperor Tiansheng said with a helpless smile: "Yesterday, Shuyu's remark really moved me. Since ancient times, the man sings and the woman follows, so there is nothing wrong with him following. Alright, I agree, you can go together, remember to put your own safety first in everything on the way, and write letter to me regularly when you arrive in the north to report your safety. "

[夫唱妇随 fū chàng fù suí: fig. 夫唱妇随     fū chàng fù suí            fig. the man sings and the woman follows; fig. marital harmony; fig. marital harmony]

Li Mingjin agreed immediately: "The son will "

    Luo Shuyu also said happily: "Father, Shuyu will definitely keep an eye on His Highness and write letter to you."

Coaxing Emperor Tiansheng to agree to their request, and didn’t let him go back on his words.

    Most of the emperors kept their promises, and they believed that Emperor Tiansheng would not go back on his words.

    For now, he still looked at Li Mingjin with a "father-son feeling", and when they could still take advantage of this, let's make good use of it.

    Luo Shuyu got the chance to go to the north with Li Mingjin, so naturally they had to have lunch with Emperor Tiansheng.

    This time Li Mingjin was obviously happier, and had an extra bowl of rice in front of Emperor Tiansheng. The unhappiness caused by Concubine Lin disappeared, and he felt more and more that he owed to the third child, and wanted to give him more, so he gave him something for self-protection.

    After lunch, the three of them drank green tea together to digest food. When Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu were about to leave the palace, Emperor Tiansheng asked the old eunuch who was in charge to go to his storeroom to get a twenty-four knots iron whip that once used by Taizu.

    Li Mingjin loved it too much to part with it, and even tried it outside the palace on the spot, and performed a set of whipping techniques for Emperor Tiansheng.

[爱不释手 ài bù shì shǒu: to love sth too much to part with it (idiom); to fondle admiringly]

    Emperor Tiansheng sighed: "If you want to talk about the ability to play with the whip, no one dares to be the number one when Mingjin is the second."

    Luo Shuyu also watched straight at his performance, it was the first time he saw Li Mingjin whipping the whip perfectly, as if the whip was tailor-made for him.

    Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin left the palace after satisfying Emperor Tiansheng's need for father-son love.

    On the way back, they held each other's hands tightly, and only after returning to the mansion did they really breathe a sigh of relief.

    Only then did Li Mingjin say to Luo Shuyu: "Yu'er, you go to the north with me. Although there will be some twists and turns on the way, and it's freezing cold, I will do my best to protect you."

Luo Shuyu shook his head: " Your Highness, don't worry about me. It’s also my wish to go to the north with you. I don't want to be separated from you, not even for a moment. "

    Li Mingjin was very excited, he thought it was his own wishful thinking before, but Luo Shuyu also secretly worked hard to go to the north with him. Perhaps it was because of his initiative that facilitated them to go to the north together.

    Li Mingjin: "I don't want to say goodbye to you either, so we can make good preparations for going to the north now."

    Luo Shuyu: "Yes, while there is still time to prepare, let's make a list first. Is there anything that Your Highness wants to bring?"

Li Mingjin: "One person writes a copy first, and then we will discuss what to bring."
