Chapter 278: Boundless Waiting
Qiu Yue hesitated for a moment, but walked over, sat at the head of the bed, gently lifted the corner of the quilt, pressed her hand on the crown princess's fragrant shoulder and shook it. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The crown princess turned around and hugged her waist. Qiu Yue got into the quilt, hugged her, reached out to wipe away the tears in her eye sockets, her hands were wet, and in this moment, the crown princess had cried into a tearful person.
Qiuyue didn't ask her why she was crying, just quietly hugged her and let her cry silently in her arms until her little clothes were soaked.
Suddenly, the crown princess raised her head, put a face full of tears on Qiu Yue's cheek, and choked up and said a word in her ear. This sentence makes people pity, and makes Qiu Yue embarrassed: "Accompany me every night, okay? I don't want to be alone...... alone"
Qiu Yue hesitated to answer, the crown princess reached out and stroked Qiu Yue's cheek, and said in a sad voice, "Please......"
Qiu Yue finally nodded, reached out and pressed her palm, took it down, kissed it gently, and said, "Okay, in the future, as long as my family officials are not there and the prince is not there, I will accompany you." β
"Hmm!" the crown princess was overjoyed, put her lips up, kissed her lightly on the cheek, and then leaned on her shoulder contentedly, and said, "I don't know why, by your side, I can always feel steady." β
This night, the crown princess really slept peacefully and sweetly.
At dawn, the two were awakened by the dense sound of firecrackers. In ancient times, artillery battles began at dawn.
The crown princess got up happily, pulled the sleepy-eyed Qiuyue, and said, "Go to the window and watch the fireworks." β
The two held hands, barefoot, stepped on the floor, ran to the window, pushed the window open, and a cold wind blew in, the princess couldn't help but shiver, and drilled into Qiuyue's arms.
When Qiu Yue came over, she had already taken a fur coat from the screen next to the bed, wrapped the two of them in it at the moment, and then hugged the princess to her chest and wrapped the two of them.
The crown princess snuggled softly in Qiu Yue's arms, leaned her head on her shoulder, and looked at the ceremonial flowers that kept rising to the sky in the distant night, one by one, and they were particularly delicate in the night.
Most of those fireworks were launched into the sky from the Imperial City not far away, and the fireworks in the Imperial City were high and beautiful.
The light of the fireworks flickered on and off, shining on the princess's white and round face, and her eyes shone with happiness.
Qiu Yue's gaze fell on the imperial city, and among the flying fireworks, she found that among the fireworks, there seemed to be several figures floating in the air, high and low.
This made her feel a chill in her heart, this should not be some kind of ghost, she carefully identified, and she clearly saw that it was an old man in a robe, and he actually stepped on a long sword with a black aura under his feet.
The breath is black, almost imperceptible in the night, and can only be seen clearly in the background of the sparkling fireworks at the moment when the fireworks are exploded.
Edgeworth flying?
Legend has it that only those who have reached level 8 black qi can have this skill.
Judging from the figures of those people floating around the imperial city, they did not want to invade the house, but to guard the four sides of the imperial city to prevent anyone from breaking in.
Obviously, these eighth-level black qi powerhouses are the powerhouses who are responsible for the night vigilance of the imperial city.
It turned out that there was such a high existence as an eighth-level black qi powerhouse around the emperor, and the people sent by Prince Qian were all fourth- and fifth-level, generals, how could they kill the emperor?
This time, Prince Qian was only afraid of trouble.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Qiu Yue saw the scene of the high-ranking powerhouse, she believed that Prince Qian had also seen it. Therefore, when Prince Qian reappeared a few days later, she did not tell Prince Qian about it.
However, judging from Prince Qian's face, he did not see any nervousness or uneasiness, but was very excited, and gathered all the families of the generals of the forbidden army in his room to talk.
He said to a group of female dependents: "Things are going well, our people have joined the group of capable people recruited by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, without arousing any suspicion, because there are also many monks in this group from the Southern Tang Dynasty and other places, not only Wu Yue's, at the same time, the emperor also announced the day of the imperial expedition, that is, the imperial examination will be held in March, and a group of national pillars will be selected to take charge of the country for him, and then there will be time to go to the north to conquer the Northern Han." Moreover, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will drive the expedition in person, which is what we dream of, but we can't follow the army of the Great Song Dynasty to the north, and my second sister married Li Hanqiong as his wife. I got the news that she was violently beaten and imprisoned by Li Hanqiong, and I can't sit idly by. After the Lantern Festival, we will take the first step and rush to the Zhangde army to take my sister away before the Great Song army sets out, so as not to be affected by the fight between the two sides. β
After he said this, he glanced at everyone, and saw that these ladies were all looking at each other, and their faces were all melancholy.
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Prince Qian's mouth, and he said to everyone: "No matter what, it's time for me to set off for the Zhangde Army." You can make some preparations these days, and of course we have prepared everything on the road. I'm talking about preparation, so that everyone can keep their spirits up. Because of this trip to the north, the weather is even colder. After the Lantern Festival, we set off. β
After saying this, Prince Qian walked in front of Qiu Yue, looked at her, bowed, and said, "I have something to do first." Mrs. Zheng, I can't be with you when I go to the capital this time. My concubine also entrusts it to you, Madame, and I hope you will take good care of it. β
After that, it was a deep salute. The dearest is very respectful.
Qiu Yue hurriedly saluted and said: "Prince, if you can entrust Niangniang to me, it can be regarded as a high glance at me, I don't say much, just one sentence, - as long as I am here, Niangniang will not have any mistakes, this prince can rest assured." β
Prince Qian kept nodding and said, "Madam Qian's martial arts cultivation may not be the strongest among you, but you are the most careful, and you are also the closest person to my concubine." With you to take care of me, I can rest assured. β
The crown princess looked at the crown prince and said in a mournful voice: "Are you leaving?"
"Hmm!" the prince didn't look at her, his voice faint.
"Today is the first anniversary of our wedding. β
"So what? If the country is gone, why should there be a family?"
The crown princess's expression darkened, she lowered her head, and her beautiful eyes were full of tears.
Prince Qian didn't seem to feel the change in the princess's mood at all, but after nodding to Qiu Yue, he didn't even look at the princess, flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned his head and walked out.
The crown princess looked at his back and said, "I'll prepare a banquet for you!"
Prince Qian didn't even hesitate in his footsteps and disappeared outside the door.
This night, the crown princess guarded a table of exquisite dishes, waited quietly in the house, and waited, from the sunset falling into the mountain, to the first star jumping out, starry, filling the night sky, and then to the east to reveal the white belly of the fish, and the last star disappeared into the morning light.
The crown princess had been sitting quietly at the table, not even moving her posture.
However, all night until dawn, Prince Qian still did not appear.
When the sun rose from the east, the crown princess finally stood up, took a breath, straightened her towering chest, and said in a resolute voice:
"It's time, it's time to go......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After the Lantern Festival, their team finally set off
The mighty and long convoy slowly moved north in the snow-capped northern ice and snow world.
The cold wind whimpered, like a lovelorn woman crying in the quiet of the night.
The rising sun passed over their heads, and then slowly set into the mountains to the west, the snow dazzling, and the whole snowfield was covered with golden afterglow.
Along the way, the crown princess stood out and ignored no one, including Qiu Yue.
On this day, they came to Enzhou in the north and found the most luxurious inn in the city to stay. Prince Qian left as usual, not knowing where he went.
At night, Qiu Yue is sitting in her room, ready to enjoy a dish that is not delicious but can give people the warmth of a winter night. At this time, there was a few gentle knocks on the door.
Qiu Yue sighed, she knew, things were coming.
Pulling open the door, a maid humbly told her that the crown princess wanted to invite her over to talk.
This did not surprise Qiu Yue, she knew that this moment would definitely come. So, she followed the maid out of the room and came to the luxurious private room of the prince and the princess next door.
She took a deep breath and stepped inside, until she reached the Crown Princess, who was sitting facing the door.
The crown princess waved her hand and motioned for the maids to withdraw.
The maid exited the room and closed the door.
The crown princess wore a hat of fire fox skin, a bright white jade in the middle of the hat, shining, a red fire fox scarf around her neck, a jujube red tight silk cotton jacket on her body, a big red fur cape on the outside, and a pair of fire fox leather boots under her feet.
This outfit is a hot woman in a northern Hu costume and riding a shooting.
Qiu Yue looked over, only to see the princess with a pair of beautiful eyes in spring, delicate and beautiful, but this outfit is mainly based on the red series, giving people a sassy and heroic feeling, under the white snow of the northern country, like a blooming plum.
What surprised Qiu Yue was not only the crown princess's outfit, but also the resolute look in her eyes, no one seemed to be able to stop her.
The crown princess took out a heavy package from under the coffee table, tilted her head, her eyes sparkled, looked at the autumn moon, and said resolutely and expectantly: "Take me away!"
Qiu Yue was slightly stunned and asked, "Where are you going?" β
"Wherever you go, I'll go with you. Even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, or the ends of the earth, take me where you want to go. -- The gold, silver, and jewels in this bag are enough for us to spend a lifetime. We can live carefree lives for the rest of our lives. β
Somehow, Qiu Yue's heart suddenly merged into the warm torrent, and a person placed a lot of trust in you, entrusting all your body and mind to a strong sense of trust.
But it all came so suddenly. Qiu Yue didn't know what to do for a while, and after a little groaning, she held her slender waist with both hands and said, "Niangniang, I know that you are very sad about the prince, but there is no need to run away." You know, the prince needs you, you have to avoid it, go away, the prince will be very sad and desperate, so why bother!"
The crown princess shook her head sadly: "He never cared about me." ββBefore the country broke, in the palace of Wu Yueguo, in the deep palace that was still prosperous, I often sat quietly at the table alone, guarding the red candle and waiting for him to come. But the red candle burned out one after another, and the rooster crowed again and again, and he was not seen. In the garden, I counted the peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, lotus leaves, autumn chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, and even gave them different names, so that they could be by my side and not let me be lonely at night, but in the end, I was still alone, and I ...... night after night."
