The emperor was full of malice and curses in his heart, and a few days later, he decided that the prince of Qin would go out of Beijing to suppress bandits.

"Your Majesty, how can the prince of Qin go out of Beijing?"

Song Wen, who was ineffective in dissuasion in the early dynasty, went straight to the emperor and persuaded again.

Zhao Shizhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also followed, and when he heard Song Wenru say this, he immediately objected:

"Lord Song, no matter how expensive the prince of Qin is, he is also the people of Daqi, the descendants of the Xiao family, at this time, he should contribute to the country, why can't he go out of Beijing?

Song Wenru never expected that Zhao Shizhen, who was still on his side, would actually defect at this time and say such things!

Wei Beihou, who came with him, stood aside with Song Wenru at this time, and repeatedly begged the emperor not to let the prince of Qin go.

The emperor sneered in his heart, Wei Beihou was afraid that Xiao Shaotang would die in the southwest, and Bai Chenghuan would be widowed, right?

It's a pity that his purpose is to let Xiao Shaotang die!

There was another quarrel in the imperial study, and the emperor once again showed his stubbornness to the courtiers, and Song Wenru opposed it alone, and there was no room for negotiation in this matter.

In the evening, the emperor's decree was sent to the palace of the king of Qin together with the documents of the military department, and the prince of Qin repeatedly refused, saying that he was unwilling to go, but was coldly reprimanded by the eunuch who passed the decree:

"The emperor said a word, this is a great opportunity to give the prince of Qin a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, His Royal Highness the prince is unwilling to go, is it possible that he wants to resist the decree?"

In the end, everyone knew that the prince of Qin received the holy decree out of helplessness, and he was going to leave Beijing for the southwest after the Shangyuan Festival.

Mr. Yuan squinted his eyes and congratulated Xiao Shaotang in the study:

"Congratulations, Your Highness, from now on, you can get out of the cage, like a dragon into the clouds, and travel all over the world!"

Xiao Shaotang held the bright yellow holy decree tightly, although his expression did not fluctuate much, but at a glance, he could still see the different brilliance on his body, and his smile was full of brightness from a long time ago:

"Mr. Yuan, we are about to leave here, although the road ahead must be difficult, but it is more comfortable than being choked in the capital!"

Mr. Yuan's smile froze, although some words may not be appropriate to say at this time, but if you don't say it, it will definitely not work:

"Your Highness, you are taking Fu Han to go, subordinates, or follow the princess to stay in the capital. ”

"What's the matter?" the smile on Xiao Shaotang's face faded, "Does Mr. still want the princess to be hostage in the capital?"

Mr. Yuan lowered his head and said:

"In this matter, the subordinates naturally obeyed the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince - the princess told her subordinates that she wanted to stay in the capital. ”

At the beginning of the new year, the spring breeze has not yet come, and in the palace of King Qin, which is gradually darkening, the winter snow covers the surroundings of Chang'anju.

The light and warm boots made a slight "creaking" sound on the snow, and the lantern in front of the door of Chang'an Ju swayed in the wind, quietly waiting for his return.

When the maid on duty in the courtyard of Chang'anju saw him coming back, she was about to come forward to salute, but Xiao Shaotang waved her hand to stop her.

He lightened his steps and walked to the inner room, under the quiet light, Bai Chenghuan was only wearing a homely plain satin cotton skirt, simple and neat, and was directing Ah Hua to pack his luggage in the warm pavilion where things were placed in the east wing, Shao Hui was sitting on the kang tip, writing and painting on the small kang table, but Qiu Yu and Qiu Yue were guarding outside.

"It's not very cold in the southwest in winter, but there are many poisonous insects and miasma, you put more dense clothes and a few medicines, write them down for me, and if they are not enough, they will be handed over to Steward Zhang tomorrow to buy ......."

Bai Chenghuan counted them one by one, and Ah Hua, who was cleaning up, hesitated a little when she took the pictures she embroidered:

"Princess Shizi, Your Highness is going to fight a war and not to go to the mountains and rivers, these embroideries, do you really want to bring them?

Bai Chenghuan walked over, took the embroidery from Ah Hua's hand, wrapped it in soft satin with his own hand, and then smiled slightly:

His Royal Highness is far away from the capital, thousands of miles away from me, and I haven't seen each other for a long time, what if I forget that he still has a princess?

Ah Hua usually looks stupid, but now it is transparent, when she heard this, she felt that she understood something, and she couldn't help muttering:

"Really, Your Highness should also take Miss there, so what is it to leave Beijing and leave Miss here......"

Ah Hua, who was writing, put down the pen, got up and dragged Ah Hua aside to lecture:

"What nonsense! I don't think there are enough things, hurry up and clean up!"

When Ah Hua continued to clean up with her mouth open, Shao Hui quietly looked at Bai Chenghuan, and found that the princess was not sad because of Ah Hua's words, so she was a little relieved, but her heart was still heavy.

In fact, Ah Hua is not wrong, the prince was originally here to be a proton, this time, will the princess become a hostage in the hands of the emperor?

Xiao Shaotang couldn't stand it anymore, opened the curtain, and strode in:

"You go down first, I have something to say to the princess. ”

Shao Hui and Ah Hua only looked at Bai Chenghuan, until Bai Chenghuan also opened his mouth to let the two go down, and the two retreated silently.

"I thought you would come back later, why did you come back so early?

The woman under the lamp looked at him with a smile, and Xiao Shaotang thought about it all the way, and finally turned into a helpless sigh:

"You...... Since you are afraid that I will forget you if I am thousands of miles away from you, why don't you go with me? Are you afraid that your mother-in-law and eldest brother will be in danger in the capital?"

Bai Chenghuan stretched out his hand and untied the cloak that was still cold on his body and hung it on the hanger on the side, poured him another cup of hot tea, and then stood in front of him, looked down at the tangled branch lotus on his skirt, and said:

"Yes, we're thinking about one thing, but that's not all I'm worried about. If we leave together, my mother and brother will definitely be watched by the emperor, and there is no guarantee that Weibei Houfu will be constrained everywhere, and even whether you can leave safely after the Shangyuan Festival is not guaranteed. ”

"As long as you want to go with me, you don't have to worry about these things, I'll plan ......" Xiao Shaotang held her hand and said resolutely: "I naturally understand that step by step, step by step, the Qin Wangfu and the Bai family, as well as the Weibei Houfu, are already in the same breath, and it is not easy to leave simply and neatly, but I don't want to leave you alone in the capital and let you be frightened here!"

Xiao Shaotang's palms are wide and warm, even if they come from the cold wind, they are not cold, Bai Chenghuan's hands are slender and white, and his two hands are entangled in one place, which meets Bai Chenghuan's eyes.

She stared for a moment, raised her head and smiled resolutely:

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of anything! Have you forgotten, I am also the daughter of a military general's family, whether it is the Bai family or the Xu family, I am used to seeing my father fighting outside, and my mother guarding everything at home, since the Qin Wangfu needs me to stay in the capital now, then I will stay in the capital, and when the time is right, I will look for you, isn't it also good?"
