Chapter Twenty-Nine: Ten Miles of the Long Pavilion
"I saw the jade beads in the Queen Mother's palace just now. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Carrying the food box, Jiang Yunshang walked in from outside. She said that the Queen Mother had already had breakfast. As he spoke, he summoned Begonia and Ning Xiang to help take out the food.
"The girl had better eat some first, and when we were done, we would clean up quickly, and we might not know when the will would come." ”
Su put the gardenia in his hand into the vase, turned around, and asked Haitang: "You said earlier that the place where the Queen Mother prepared was...... Jasmine Garden?"
"Yes. Haitang nodded, and while placing the side dishes handed over by Yunshang, she said, "I heard that the Queen Mother has a sister." They have a very good relationship with each other. In order to save the Queen Mother, her sister unfortunately passed away. Haitang paused, thinking that although these words were royal short and long, there were many people in the palace who knew about it, so there was no need to deliberately hide it, so she continued: "It is said that the queen mother's sister likes jasmine, and the queen mother built a garden in the palace and planted it with jasmine. Put down the porridge in his hand, took the chopsticks handed by Yunsheng, and handed them to Qin Mei, "The girl should be playing there today." ”
Speaking of playing, Qin Mei couldn't help but think of Murong Linshuang. couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and looked at Sushou and Ning Xiang with a depressed face. It is estimated that the fact that she does not play the pipa has reached the ears of the Queen Mother. sighed, took the chopsticks handed by Begonia, flipped through the delicate side dishes in front of him with no interest, and pondered what to sing later. In the past few days, I have been thinking about the affairs of King Qi, and I have thrown the matter of the songs I am going to sing out of the clouds.
Qin Mei searched in her mind for the music scores she had memorized before. Good for playing, good for singing...... As long as it is suitable for today's occasion, I have been rummaging in my mind.

King Qi glanced at Kang Lao, who was following him, and shook his head helplessly. Although it was nothing serious, but being followed by a doctor all the time, King Qi had a very strange feeling.
"Did King Qi feel a pain last night?" asked Kang Lao, who was walking on King Qi's right hand.
"En......" King Qi recalled carefully. After the palace banquet last night, he drank the decoction prescribed to him by Kang Lao to calm his nerves, and went to bed early.
"Nothing special. King Qi said.
"Your Majesty, just now the Queen Mother sent someone to deliver a message, saying that Her Majesty should go over after the early court. Gonggong Feng remembered the words that Gonggong Guo had come to pass on earlier, and hurriedly reported it to King Qi.
"Oh...... Yes, I almost forgot" King Qi thought about the things arranged today, and muttered: "You go back and tell the Queen Mother, let her not wait for me, I will go when I am busy with the things at hand." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Kang Lao beside him. I sighed in my heart. I don't know what the Queen Mother will do when she sees Kang Lao appear beside her. The rhetoric they thought about last night wasn't valid.
"By the way, what about General Ling?" King Qi found that he didn't see him.
"Back to Your Majesty, General Ling sent General Han out of the city. Father-in-law Feng immediately said.
"Oh......" King Qi then remembered that Han Yanjiang was going to return to Daming with Emperor Mingjing's personal soldiers today.
"Are all the return gifts for Wang Jingluo ready?" King Qi raised his eyebrows, and without replying, he asked Gonggong Feng, who was half a step away from him.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, those things have already been prepared according to Your Majesty's wishes. Yesterday afternoon, it was already installed for General Han. ”
"What about that?" King Qi suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the 'thing' slave was properly packed and handed over to General Han, and it was instructed that it was Your Majesty's intention to bring it to Emperor Mingjing. Gonggong Feng answered the question of King Qi very fluently.
"Hahaha...... Okay! There is Lao Feng's father-in-law!" After hearing this, King Qi laughed and pulled his steps away and strode forward.
Gonggong Feng followed at a trot behind, and said flatteringly: "Serving Your Majesty is the blessing of a slave, how dare you bear Your Majesty's 'thanks'!"
Kang Lao watched King Qi stride forward in high spirits, and somehow, he remembered what the winter melon monk told him. He had carefully observed King Qi's complexion and tongue coating just now, and although he had not taken a pulse, it seemed that King Qi did not look unwell at all. He shook his head and hurried two steps forward, thinking to himself that he still had to find time to have a good chat with the winter melon monk. Find a proper way to do it.

Ling Huan and Han Yanjiang walked side by side, and slowly walked outside the city towards the garrison of Emperor Mingjing's forbidden army. The sun has not yet risen, and the morning breeze is refreshing with a hint of coolness. The horses' hooves were tuked, the dew in the grass was shaken off, and the frightened grasshoppers scattered and fled.
"Say goodbye today, I don't know when we will see each other!" Han Yanjiang sighed.
"Hmm......" Ling Huan didn't turn to look at him. Just a soft "um" sound.
It has been eight years since these two men met. The two hit it off at first sight. If it weren't for their own masters, they would almost have married brothers with different surnames.
"That's right!" Han Yanjiang grabbed the reins, and the horse stopped. Snorting in place, sticking his head out to reach the grass not far away. "Miss Qinmei will be handed over to you!"
"Huh?" Ling Huan didn't react for a moment: "Qinmei?"
"Hmm!" Han Yanjiang nodded and said cautiously: "Before leaving, Your Majesty specially explained to me and asked me to take good care of her. This is not ......" He glanced in the direction of the palace of Qi State, and said helplessly: "Now that I have sent the person, in the future in Qi State, I will have to trouble General Ling to take care of it more!"
Ling Huan thought about it for a while, and laughed: "Haha, is it that Emperor Mingjing of your family regrets sending her over?"
Han Yanjiang shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, pouted, and said, "I don't know about this." But......" he paused, and then said, "However, not only Your Majesty, but even the Queen Mother has taken care of me and asked me to take good care of her along the way." ”
"Huh?" Ling Huan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Empress Dowager Daming?"
"Hmm. Han Yanjiang nodded and said, "Empress Dowager Daming!"
"I can't see that this girl is so popular in your Daming!" After Ling Huan finished speaking, he touched his chin with his right hand, and said with a thief smile: "Then Wang Jingluo of your family still sent her over? If it were me, I wouldn't send it! Hahaha......"
"A gentleman promises a thousand gold!" Han Yanjiang sighed lightly and said: "Although Your Majesty and the Queen Mother both like her, they have already agreed to King Qi, so they have to endure the pain and cut their love."
"Hmm...... In this way, isn't her 'Lingnan Furong' in vain?" Ling Huan raised his eyebrows again and looked at Han Yanjiang suspiciously.
Han Yanjiang glanced at Ling Xiao with squinted eyes, smiled noncommittally, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and walked forward.
Ling Huan thought about it and smiled self-deprecatingly. Whether people like Qinmei or not, why do they like Qinmei, and what does it have to do with him? At the moment, with a sound of "driving", he lifted the reins and chased after Han Yanjiang not far away.
Ten miles out of the city, he arrived at the place where Emperor Mingjing's forbidden army camped. Now, the soldiers have set up camp to extinguish the fire, packed up their things, and just waited for Han Yanjiang to arrive, and then they could embark on the return journey.
"Okay, let's send it here!" Looking at the forbidden army neatly lined up in front of him, Han Yanjiang turned his head and said to Ling Huan beside him.
"Hmm......" Ling Huan didn't speak. just silently looked at the forbidden army in front of him. "Farewell ......today," he thought for a moment, but finally did not continue. just glanced at Han Yanjiang with a wry smile.
"I hope that as King Qi said, the two countries can be repaired forever!" Han Yanjiang fully understood the meaning of the half sentence that Ling Huan did not say.
He knew that if the two countries were on the same page and wanted to meet each other one day, then the next time he and Ling Huan met might be on the battlefield, or you would live or die.
"Forever repaired......" Ling Huan sighed and looked up. The sun has risen. The feeling of humidity and mildness in the air was evaporated. Instead, a feeling of heat came at him from all sides, enveloping him in the middle.
Ling Huan raised his hand and loosened his neckline, and said with a helpless smile: "I hope this is not our good wishes and good wishes!" When he put down his hand, he accidentally touched the thing in his arms, and suddenly stopped Han Yanjiang in shock: "You wait!"
Han Yanjiang was still immersed in the helplessness of Ling Huan's words just now. After being shouted at him, he came back to his senses.
"Next!" Ling Huan took out a small box from his arms and threw it to Han Yanjiang. "Your Majesty asked me to give it to you, you remember to hand it over to Wang Jingluo yourself!"
"What is it?" Han Yanjiang reached out and grabbed the flying brocade box and asked.
"How do I know!" Ling Huan shrugged, "I'm just a messenger!"
"Okay, please go back and tell King Qi, I will definitely bring it to Your Majesty!" looked at the sky, and then looked at the team waiting in front. Whoosh, Han Yanjiang rushed out with a whip of "Drive!". "Go back, we'll have a ...... later," he sped away without looking back at the Praetorian convoy.
"Queue up...... Let's go......" The shouts of the soldiers in front drifted into the ears of the hustle and bustle. Ling Huan just stayed there immediately. Watching the convoy roll up the billowing smoke and dust, gradually disappearing from his sight. The word "cherished" that he didn't have time to say was slowly spit out by him at this time. It's a pity that Han Yanjiang has gone far.

Someone here is giving people away, and someone is picking people up over there. When the carriage in the palace arrived at the gate of the Gu family, Miss Gu Er was not ready.
"What did you say?" Miss Gu Er slammed the table and stood up. angrily questioned the little guy who was lying on the ground trembling. "You straightened out your tongue! Tell me clearly, what do you say is wrong with the young master?"
"Less...... Master...... The young master was carried back last night...... It doesn't seem to be lightly injured...... "The little guy trembled and fell to the ground, not daring to look up at the angry Miss Gu Er.
"Injury?" Second Miss Gu gritted her back molars and said word by word: "Let you serve the young master, and you will serve like this?"
"The little one doesn't know anything!" The little guy kowtowed his head and said with a crying voice: "The little one went to buy maltose for the young master, and it took a while, and when he came back, the young master was gone......" He used his sleeve to wipe the tears and snot on his face, and continued: "When the little one finds the young master, the young master ...... Only...... Just ......"
"What's it?" Miss Gu Er slammed the teacup in her hand onto the table with a "snap".
"That's it...... Only...... I'm unconscious!" (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
