The queen and her entourage went out of the city along Luoshui and joined the royal guards who were waiting outside the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After getting off the colorful boat, the queen boarded the phoenix chariot pulled by a tall horse. Concubine Min's carriage followed the queen's carriage. Originally, the third car was Princess Yingxue's carriage, but she had to ride in the same one with Ni Chuan. Concubine Min couldn't resist her, so she had to go.

Yingxue and Ni Chuan rode in the same car, and there was only one carriage left for the grandmothers who served the two to ride.

Escorted by the royal guards, the group set off for the north.

The further north you go, the colder it gets. At this time, it was early summer in Luoyang, but the scenery seen on the way to the north was still in mid-spring. Along the way, there are often peach blossoms and plum blossoms in full bloom, and the mountains are full of spring grass and green.

It had rained in the vicinity a few days ago, and the queen's carriage was walking on the official road, although it was not muddy, but the speed of progress had slowed down a lot.

After all, the queen is not twenty-eight years old, and as long as she rides in the car, she will feel very tired and her whole body aches. So the procession had only traveled for half a day on this day, and the queen ordered--don't leave today, find a flat place to rest, and hurry again tomorrow morning.

The place where the team stopped was not in front of the village or behind the store, it was in a gentle hilly area, and then the captain of the guard chose a slope for everyone to set up camp.

Ni Chuan and Yingxue sat in the carriage, and after a morning of shaking, the two of them snuggled together, sleepy. At this time, the grandmother who took care of them poked her head in from outside and said: "Back to the princess, back to the county lord, the queen mother ordered, I will come here today, and the imperial kitchen has begun to bury the pot and cook." The queen said that the princess and the county lord were young, so they didn't have to be confined to the carriage all the time, and they could get off the carriage and go around to have fun. ”

As soon as she heard that she could go out to play, Yingxue's sleepiness was immediately swept away, and she grabbed Ni Chuan and said, "Sister, sister, don't sleep, let's go out to play, let's go!" ”

Ni Chuan was shaken awake by her, and asked in a daze, "Don't you have to move forward?" Where has it been? ”

Ying Xue grabbed her sleeve and dragged it forward: "It doesn't matter where he goes, let's just go out and play!" ”

After all, Ni Chuan was a few years older, and after she got out of the car, she dragged Ying Xue, who was like a little hare: "It's okay for us to play, but we can go after asking the queen mother and Concubine Min to say goodbye first!" ”

Seeing Ni Chuan's serious face and unquestionable tone, Ying Xue had no choice but to stick out her tongue and say, "Okay, okay, listen to my sister." ”

So the two of them walked together to the queen riding in a gold-painted vermilion lacquer phoenix chariot pulled by three snow-white Western Regions horses, and respectfully saluted and said, "Erchen Yingxue, Nichuan greets the queen!" ”

The queen's carriage didn't move, and Yingxue and Ni Chuan had to stand obediently in front of the carriage with their heads down. After half a cup of tea, the swascast on the carriage was opened, and Qu Jun walked down. As soon as he saw Yingxue and Ni Chuan, he bowed deeply and said, "The queen mother has been tired all the way, and she has already rested for a while." Niangniang said that the princess and the county lord were sensible and obedient, and they would be taken around by Mama to play, and there was no need to go back and forth. ”

After speaking, Qu Jun presented a pair of silk bags embroidered with lambs of the same color and said: "This is the double kernel and double fruit rose cake that the queen mother gave to the princess and the county lord, please don't go too far with the princess and the county lord, and come back for dinner later." ”

Ying Xue and Ni Chuan took the silk bag, and both bowed on their knees and said, "Thank you for the reward." ”

After greeting the queen, the two of them came hand in hand to the golden silk nanmu cart drawn by the two horses that Concubine Min was riding. This time, as soon as they had said goodbye, Bao Lai stepped out of the car, carrying two small baskets made of bamboo silk in the shape of lotus flowers.

Concubine Min said that the spring here is full of flowers, and the scenery is good. This is the small basket that Princess Yingxue often uses when picking flowers in Jinxin Palace, and Concubine Min instructed the princess and the county lord to take them to play nearby for a while. ”

The two of them took the basket in an orderly manner, bowed their heads and thanked them before leaving quietly.

Finally, after saying goodbye, Yingxue and Nichuan ran forward vigorously in the face of the large peach blossoms and apricot blossom trees on the hillside, like little wild horses that had lost their reins.

The grandmother behind her exclaimed: "Princess, county lord, run slowly, run slowly, be careful to step on your skirt, be careful to reach your feet......"

Where can Yingxue and Nichuan take care of them, you chased me and ran faster, and after a while, the grandmothers disappeared.

At this time, he had come to the top of a small hill, and Ni Chuan stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance, taking in the spring colors all over the mountains. So she had a feeling: "When the water is full of Hengtang and the rain passes, a red shadow and flowers fly." Sending spring is infinitely melancholy, and he has not returned to the end of the world. ”

Yingxue followed her to the top of the mountain, and when she heard Ni Chuan reciting a poem, she also echoed a poem: "The green pond is full of clear waves, and the spring colors are all from the rain." I know that the flowers of the people have fallen, and there are many butterflies on the hillside today. ”

Nichuan found that there was an apricot blossom forest in the east, and the scenery of Luoying was the most enchanting, so he said to Yingxue: "Let's go there and have a while." ”

Yingxue was worried about where to find flowers to fill her small basket, and when she looked at the direction that Ni Chuan was pointing, there were so many flowers, which was exactly what she wanted. So she immediately said, "Okay, let's run, see who gets there first!" ”

Ni Chuan raised his eyebrows disdainfully: "You will definitely lose!" ”

Ying Xue said unconvinced: "That's not necessarily, let's close our eyes and count to five, set off together, and see who can run faster!" ”

Ni Chuan said without thinking about it: "Okay! Then she closed her eyes and counted, "One, two, three, four, five!" ”

After counting, Ni Chuan opened his eyes, where was the shadow of Yingxue! It turned out that while Ni Chuan was counting with his eyes closed, Yingxue had already run in advance.

"You little scoundrel!" Ni Chuan was so angry that he quickly quickened his pace and chased after him.

As the two maidens were running along the flower-filled hillside, a group of royal guards in full soft armor were slowly following.

The leader was a four-rank flying tiger general, he looked coldly at the bouncing figures of the princess and the county lord not far away, turned back to the guards who followed, and said, "You are divided into two ways and outflanked from the side." There must be a distance of thirty steps from the princess and the princess, surround them inside, and after enclosing the protective circle, remember to stand facing outward, maintain a vigilant posture, and be ready to unsheath your knife at any time! ”

The guards replied in unison, "Yes!" ”

The Flying Tiger General didn't speak again, just made a gesture to go.

The layers of steel on the cowhide soft armor of the royal guards shone brightly in the sunlight, and they disappeared into the depths of the jungle in a hurry, but without a sound.
