Chapter 23: The State

Jiangzhou is located in the southern part of the Yuan Kingdom and is famous for its beautiful landscapes and pleasant climate. Although it is not as prosperous as Kyoto, there are many merchants and scribes. It can be regarded as a good place for Zhong Lingyu and outstanding people.

Gao Xun and his entourage walked and stopped all the way, and finally arrived in Jiangzhou at sunset on the second day.

Jiangzhou Assassin Shi had already received the news, and he took a group of officials of all sizes to wait at the city gate early, waiting for the arrival of the prince.

As soon as they entered the city, they were greeted by the officials. The team stopped, Gao Xun got out of the carriage and exchanged pleasantries with these people, and then led the way by Thorn Shi to the Jin Palace, which had been arranged for her earlier.

Compared with the mansion in Kyoto, the palace of the king of Jin, Jiangzhou is more spacious and spacious, and the whole palace is rich and elegant. Gao Xun was very satisfied after entering the door.

After settling down the things in the palace, Lord Thorn Shi, who had always been with him, said that he had already prepared a banquet for the prince in Jufeng Building. Gao Xun, as the vassal king here, first arrived in Jiangzhou, as a courtesy, he naturally had to communicate with the officials here. So he didn't stay long in the mansion, Gao Xun took Bai Sang, Ye Xiuying, and a few adults to the Jufeng Building for a banquet.

The prince was in charge, and the officials present were naturally either flattering or going up to drink. They had all heard of the bravery of the Jin prince, and they didn't expect that the princess next to him was also like a fairy, so that everyone present looked straight.

There are also people who are not enough to tie up the prince, and they also drink to the princess of Jin with the strength of wine. Bai Sang, who had always sat quietly beside Gao Xun, did not twist a little, and generously picked up the wine glass. On the contrary, Gao Xun on the side saw it and immediately snatched the wine glass from her hand.

"The princess is not well to drink. This wine was drunk by the king for her. Gao Xun frowned slightly, said coldly, and then raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

This appearance is obviously a little unpleasant.

Next, no one dared to go forward with the princess wine, and it seemed that if the smiling prince along the way really started a fire, it would be difficult to parry. However, everyone also saw it clearly, this young Jin prince was very attentive to his princess.

When he returned to the palace after the feast, it was already late at night.

Gao Xun drank too much wine, and on the way home, he sat in the carriage and leaned on Bai Sang's lap, which was very comfortable, so he fell asleep all the way with his eyes half-closed.

As soon as he returned to the house, Bai Sang sent the maid ring beside him to carry a pot of hot tea.

This girl Huan was Gao Xun who said in the afternoon that she would follow Bai Sang and serve her in the future. Lord Thorn Shi not only helped the prince prepare the mansion here, but also bought a lot of small maid rings in the mansion, and after Gao Xun saw it, he specially picked one from among them who looked smart and clever and was the princess's personal maid.

"Ah Xun, come, drink some tea and sober up." Bai Sang saw Gao Xun enter the room, so he lay on the table and rubbed his head, thinking that it should be uncomfortable because he drank too much wine. He poured a cup of hot tea and blew it carefully, gently handed it to Gao Xun's mouth and said.

Gao Xun obediently drank the water in the cup, and then patted his head: "Sleepy, head shaking." ”

"Alright." Bai Sang took down her hand patting her head, stood behind Gao Xun, gently stroked her head with both hands, thoughtfully helped her gently rub her temples, lowered her head and coaxed slightly: "It's uncomfortable for your head to shake, let's take a bath and sleep earlier?" ”

"Hmm" Gao Xun half-bowed his head, enjoying the gentle movements of the person behind him, as if he had answered, and did not get up at all.

Bai Sang didn't urge again, and still rubbed it quietly for her.

After a while, Gao Xun seemed to slowly wake up, and the words he said brought a little strength, "Bai Sang just said that we were bathing?" ”

Bai Sang nodded, and the movements of his hands still didn't stop: "If Ah Xun doesn't feel uncomfortable, let's go take a bath." ”

Gao Xun smelled the fragrance of her hair hanging down to her face, and curled her lips: "Madame's meaning—is it to bathe with this king?" ”

Bai Sang's hand was beaten, the roots of his ears were slightly red, and the strength of the next action was a little heavier.

However, this doesn't seem to have much effect on high queries. Before Bai Sang could answer, Gao Xun continued: "If Madame wants to, this king doesn't mind." ”

Bai Sang withdrew his hand and looked at Gao Xun, who raised his head.

The person in front of him was looking at himself with the corners of his mouth raised and his eyes shining with essence, how could he still look a little uncomfortable, and he had already sobered up!

Bai Sang blushed, bit his lip and ignored her, turned around and left the room, leaving only a fluttering sentence to the smiling people in the room.

"Each, bathe."

When Bai Sang returned to the house after bathing, the little prince was already sitting on the bed, half leaning on the head of the bed, propping one hand on the pillow, tilting his head, and falling asleep.

Bai Sang walked to the side of the bed, looked at the sleeping face of the person in front of him, and couldn't help but smile.

It seems that I am really sleepy, and I am waiting to fall asleep.

stroked her forehead, and then carefully helped the sleeping Gao Xun lie on the pillow, and tucked the quilt tightly for her. Bai Sang turned around and blew the lamp, and also got into the quilt.

Lying down, the two of them were covered with a brocade quilt, and the quilt was already sleeping hot at the moment. Even the cold little feet that he had just drilled into were warmed up.

It's a very comfortable feeling. Bai Sang couldn't help but raise his head in the darkness and looked at Gao Xun.

The faint moonlight leaked down, softening her whole face, and she looked like she was just a well-behaved and harmless girl.

Bai Sang retracted his gaze and couldn't help but lean slightly to her side. The people around her are like a big stove, and when she sleeps beside her, the winter quilt will never be as cold as before. And himself, sticking to her, seems to be sleeping more and more peacefully.

I didn't expect the good sleep she gave was so greedy.

Bai Sang exhaled lightly, closed his eyes, and slowly stroked his slightly cool fingertips into Gao Xun's palm, feeling that his hands were slowly warming

That night, both of them slept very peacefully.

When Gao Xun woke up the next day, the sun was already shining outside.

Gao Xun squinted, turned his head and saw the person next to him curled up in his arms like a quiet kitten at this time. His hair is loose, his eyes are closed, and he is still asleep.

The light illuminated her snow-white skin, which was exposed beyond the quilt, almost transparent, and her breath fell lightly on her chest like a feather floating in the air. The whole person is like a fine piece of porcelain, as if it will be broken at the slightest touch

Gao Xun looked at her, only to feel that his heart seemed to be gently touched by something. Subconsciously lowered his head, and grabbed the cherry lips and pecked lightly. The person in her arms sighed softly because of her movements, and when she raised her head again, she saw Bai Sang move her head slightly, find a comfortable position in Gao Xun's arms again, and still fall asleep. It doesn't seem to be wake-up from the good sleep of the morning by the bad actions of the people around him.

It's really a rare sleepy look.

Gao Xun remembered that the two had been uninterrupted for several nights since they became married, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. It seems that these few days have really exhausted her.

The person in his arms tightened and stared at her quietly for a long time, but she still did not see any tendency to wake up. Gao Xun kissed her forehead dotingly, then got up in his clothes, and no longer disturbed the good dreams of the people around him at the moment.

The winter morning in Jiangzhou is not as cold as in Kyoto, and the breeze is very comfortable. Gao Xun had a full night's sleep, and he was full of energy at the moment. Stroll to the backyard of the palace, and see the garden of the Jin palace is full of beautiful trees and green onions, and the clear stream is murmuring, which is also a good scene. I thought that I hadn't gotten up early to practice my sword for a long time, so I went back and picked up my sword and practiced it in the courtyard.

After she finished practicing the sword again, an hour had passed, Gao Xun took a short rest, returned to the front hall, and saw Bai Sang's personal maid and called her:

"That girl, you, yes, come here." Gao Xun pointed at the maidservant and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the prince, the slave's name is Su Xin." The maid saluted Gao Xun, and then smiled sweetly: "It's still the name that Madame gave to the slave maid last night." ”

"Oh? Frangipani, frangipani flowers. Get a good sound, a good sound. Gao Xun nodded, smiling.

The prince smiled, and the people around him all nodded again and again.

"Frangipani, this king sees that Mrs. should wake up at this hour, you go to the house and serve her to get up." Gao Xun paused and said.

"Yes, lord."

After seeing Su Xin retreat, Gao Xun sat on the chair as if he had nothing to do, looked at a young man standing beside him, and said to him:

"What about you, what's your name?"

"Back to the prince, the little one, the little one's name is Xiaoliu." The little guy bent down and replied.

Gao Xun shook his head in disgust when he heard this: "Xiaoliu's name is too vulgar. He raised his eyebrows again and said, "It's better to give you a name today." ”

"Okay." Xiao Liu was simply flattered and replied repeatedly.

The prince gave him a name, which was a great honor for him! Looking at the appearance of the prince reading poetry and books, he must have taken out the name of the same.

Xiao Liu half-bent over and stood at the table, looking at the little prince in front of him expectantly, turning her clear eyes, and then confiding the following words seriously:

"This king sees that you are delicate and smart."

"Yes, yes." Xiao Liu nodded again and again.

"Just—call you Snow Lotus."

Saussurea??

Xiao Liu was stunned in place, and the smile on his face suddenly froze on his face.

My lord, although this name is not bad, but I am an iron-clad man, this, this is called Snow Lotus. It's really, it's so wrong

Gao Xun nodded to himself, and said with satisfaction: "This name is very good, very good." ”

When Xiao Liu heard this, his face was bitter, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.

"Xuelian, why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and make a pot of tea for this king. Gao Xun tilted his head, unaware.

"It's the king"

Whatever the prince says, isn't it nothing? Xiao Liu gritted his teeth, and I will be called Snow Lotus in the future!

The little prince sat there, looking at the back of his subordinates leaving, thinking about the comfortable little days with Bai Sang in the future, and couldn't help but squint happily. Jiangzhou is really a good place!
