Chapter 9: Gradually
For several days after that, Gao Xun accompanied Bai Sang to the mountains to collect medicine every day. The little prince seems to like this mountain activity, and even intimately prepares pastries and drinks on the horse, completely taking medicine collection as a pastime.
Knowing that Bai Sang was going to Yanwang's Mansion to see a doctor this morning, Gao Xun rarely appeared again. It's just that not long after Bai Sang returned to the courtyard at noon and finished his lunch, there was a knock on the door, and not surprisingly, it was the prince who came again.
Bai Sang opened the door and saw Gao Xun standing outside, but he was not surprised at all, and still said lightly to Gao Xun: "Lord Wang, please come in." ”
Gao Xun happily tied his horse at the door, and entered the house with Bai Sang. As soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea, Gao Xun couldn't wait to ask, "Does Bai Sang still want to go to the mountains to collect medicine later?" In fact, Gao Xun already had an idea in her heart, even if she didn't go to the mountains today, she planned to spend an afternoon in this courtyard.
"Let's go." Bai Sang knew that even if he said that he wouldn't go, this prince would not leave for a while. It happened that I saw Princess Yan's illness in the morning, and I also needed a medicine, and it was still early, so it didn't hurt to go to the mountains to have a look.
Gao Xun was naturally very happy when he heard this, and helped Bai Sang clean up the yard together, and as usual, rode her to the mountains on horseback.
"Phew-" But when we reached the junction out of the city today, Gao Xun hurriedly reined in his horse without warning, and the horse's front hooves were raised high in the air, and finally stopped steadily. Gao Xun felt that the people behind him were tightly gripping his clothes with both hands, Xu was frightened, and hurriedly turned around and asked with concern: "Bai Sang, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Bai Sang shook his head gently, let go of the hand that was subconsciously grabbing Gao Xun because of nervousness just now, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Before she could speak, a voice told her to answer.
"Ask my brother~"
Gao Xun didn't have to look back to know that this voice must be Sima Xuan calling himself. Sima Xuan was riding a horse in front of them at the moment, which was the reason why Gao Xun had just stopped suddenly. Gao Xun turned his head to look at her suspiciously, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Sister Ah Ying said that Brother Qin is going to play in the mountains today, and I will wait for you here."
Gao Xun has accompanied Bai Sang to the mountain to collect medicine in the past few days, and he only told Ye Xiuying. When he was not in the Jin Palace, Sima Jing often came to the mansion to accompany Ye Xiuying to practice swords and kill the time. What Gao Xun didn't know was that Sima Xuan also followed her eldest brother to her mansion every time, but she couldn't see Gao Xun every time, which really made the eldest lady of Sima Mansion very depressed. Finally, today, Sima Xuan waited for a rabbit and finally saw Gao Xun also in the house, but this person hadn't said a few words to himself, and hurriedly rode his horse after lunch. Sima Xuan unwillingly pestered her eldest brother and Ye Xiuying to ask, and finally learned that Gao Xun was riding a horse to go uphill.
So Sima Xuan rushed to the intersection of the mountain to guard Gao Xun, if he couldn't wait for anyone, I was afraid that he would think about going to the forest to find it.
At this time, he finally let himself stop people, and Sima Xuan looked at Gao Xun very happily.
"You're not going up the mountain together, are you?" Gao Xun asked in surprise.
"Of course. You see, the eldest brother didn't worry about me going up the mountain and sent someone to follow me. Fang didn't notice that Sima Xuan was still followed by three Sima Jing's guards. Gao Xun had a bitter face when he heard this, why does this person always like to follow him.
"You'd better go back. This king, this king and Bai Sang go up the mountain for something important, so don't make a fool of yourself. ”
"White mulberry? Is that the man behind you? Sima Xuan just found out that there was a woman sitting on Gao Xun's immediately, and she didn't want to see it, but now Gao Xun let herself go back, she was even more aggrieved, and her face changed all of a sudden, and her mouth was puffed as if she was about to cry: "Why can't Brother Xun take me if he can take her." ”
"Alright. Let this girl go with you. Bai Sang behind him seemed to be unable to stand it anymore and spoke. She had been listening to these two people just now, the girl in front of her was still young, obviously without malicious intent, Xu just wanted to follow Gao Xun, but she was so sad that Gao Xun said it, and she couldn't bear to even look at it. I just want to go to the forest to collect some medicine, and a few more people will be fine.
Since Bai Sangdu said so, although Gao Xun was reluctant, he no longer spoke out against it.
So it was a good two-person world, but there were four more people inexplicably, which made Gao Xun very depressed. Sima Xuan was in front of him side by side, and the three guards followed behind, and the group of people still went on the road like this.
On the way, Sima Xuan kept talking to Gao Xun, and Gao Xun responded casually without a match, obviously absent-minded. Seeing Gao Xun turning his head and whispering something to the woman behind her from time to time, Sima Xuan was not happy, and after seeing the woman's appearance clearly, he said, "Brother Xun, isn't this the woman who was injured that day?" ”
"Yes." Gao Xun nodded, still replied nonchalantly.
"Why do you always let her sit on your horse?" Sima Xuan's face was full of unhappiness.
"She can't ride a horse." Gao Xun replied, then turned his bright eyes, and said, "If you don't know how to drive a horse, this king won't carry you." Hahaha. ”
Seeing that Sima Xuan was looking forward to it, and then had such a sad expression, Gao Xun laughed, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
Bai Sang saw Gao Xun teasing Sima Xuan like this, thinking that a dignified Jin prince was really like a child, how could he know that he was bullying a little girl, he didn't have the bearing of a big husband at all, and his face was still so thick. Seeing that the person in front of her was still smiling so proudly, she inexplicably felt that it was very eye-catching, and the hand on her waist subconsciously pinched the soft flesh on it.
"Hisss white mulberry."
Gao Xun screamed in pain for a while, and looked at the person behind him suspiciously, why did he suddenly make such a move.
Bai Sang didn't make a sound, maybe he didn't know how to make a sound. At this moment, I only feel ashamed and annoyed, I have never been like this, Fang Cai's action is really rude, not to mention that the person sitting in front of him is the prince of Jin, even an ordinary man, and he shouldn't be like this
Gao Xun saw that Bai Sang ignored him, and he was not annoyed, and slowly rode his horse and stopped asking, but gradually raised the corners of his mouth. Bai Sang, it's slowly different from before.
After a short journey of noisy travel, we reached the mountainside, and beyond that there were several narrow mountain paths, which were not good for riding on horses. So they dismounted and prepared to walk.
"Brother Qian, where are we going to collect medicine?"
"How long do you have to go?"
"I can't even walk, ask my brother!"
Sima Xuan quickly recovered from Fang Cai's affection, and after getting off the horse, he began to chant in Gao Xun's ear again.
"If you can't walk, can you rest here for a while, huh?" Gao Xun didn't fight with Sima Xuan again this time, and answered her one by one, but when he said this, he looked at Bai Sang beside him and asked.
Bai Sang nodded, and the six of them found an open space to sit down and rest.
After Gao Xun sat down, he took out the kettle he was carrying and handed it to Bai Sang, watched her drink the water intently, and asked softly when he got closer, "Are you tired?" ”
"Not tired." Bai Sang shook his head and smiled shallowly at her. The person in front of him is sometimes really considerate, and there are probably not many men who are so careful.
"I'm going to drink water too!" Sima Xuan on the other side also shouted when he saw it.
"No. Here you go. Gao Xun happily handed the kettle in his hand to Sima Xuan.
Seeing that Sima Xuan was drinking water, Gao Xun showed a meaningful smile, took the hands of the people around him, and took her to stand up together, ignoring Bai Sang's surprised and puzzled look when he looked at him, he leaned into her ear and said, "Follow me." ”
