[210] Peeking at her

"This can be used to disperse silis, you can take it with you." Shu Lanqi handed over a tube of green bamboo.

Yu Yan glanced at him and held the bamboo pipe in the palm of her hand. The thing was exquisitely made, the thickness of the man's index finger, sealed with a silver lid at one end, and a piece of topaz fell and tied with an emerald tassel.

"Open it from here." Su Lanqi's horse came closer and taught her to open the silver cover.

Yu Yan sniffed and smelled a cool mint scent. Poured some into the palm of his hand and gently covered his neck, and the hot feeling disappeared most of the time.

"Thank you." She thanked her softly and returned the bamboo pipe.

Shu Lanqi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "This is for you." Da"

"No need." Yu Yan said softly.

"Don't worry too much, King Xiao has made careful arrangements, and the people of the big leader are not his opponents. You treat me as a friend, take this well, this thing will be useful to you. Shu Lanqi inhaled softly, took her hand, and slapped the bamboo pipe into her palm.

"Where's Princess Flora?" Yu Yan clenched the bamboo pipe and turned her head to look at him.

"In the palace," he said in a low voice, "she is a new widow, and according to the rules, she cannot choose a son-in-law immediately." Her mother, Concubine Chang, has no son, and she still lives in the palace, so she lives with the concubine temporarily. ”

Yu Yan frowned lightly, was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Princess Hua Mei looks very free, I hope she is not a character like Lotte." ”

"No, Hua Mei has always been in love with King Xiao...... " Shu Lanqi paused for a moment, looked at her face, and then continued: "After returning to Xuanling, she is still lobbying everywhere to raise food for King Xiao, and she will not harm King Xiao." ”

"She's so affectionate?" Yu Yan was slightly stunned.

"Before Hua Mei got married, she threatened her father with death, but unfortunately her father threatened her with Concubine Chang, and she just got on the sedan chair and cried all the way to Hu Yuguo. King Xiao is young and promising, noble and mighty, and many women admire him. Shu Lanqi said with emotion.

"So are you." Yu Yan smiled reluctantly.

"Yu Yan, you don't ask Mo to leave...... What is the feeling? How did I find out, you ......" Shu Lanqi hesitated for a moment and asked her in a low voice.

Yu Yan pursed her lips and looked up at the cold moon.

What is her affection for Mo Wenli? She thought, she will never be able to figure it out for the rest of her life. This kind of feeling is particularly complicated, incomprehensible, and constantly cut.

Shu Lanqi looked at her red and swollen face, and stopped talking.

When it was almost dawn, Yu Lixiao arranged for the carriage to pick up Yu Yan to meet them in Qinghe Town.

Yu Yan was tired enough, so Su Lanqi was in charge and let her rest in Qinghe Town for a day.

Yu Yan didn't insist on continuing to move forward, first, she wanted to wait for news from Yu Lixiao, and second, she was also worried that the child in her womb would not be able to withstand such a toss.

Taking the road of Qinghe Town is a shortcut. It belongs to the country of Xuanling, to the east is the desert, to the west is Xuanling. Passing through this town, you can reach the border city of Houqing Country.

Yu Yan wanted to see the border city a long time ago, which was Yun Qin's home, and fantasized many times, riding side by side with Yun Qin on the grassland outside the border city. Yun Qin also wrote a letter to her, describing the scenery there, but unfortunately she didn't see a letter.

The biggest official in the town, the head of a hundred households, was waiting for everyone at the entrance of the town early. I saw the corner of the flag waving in the wind, and knelt in front of the archway outside the town.

"The head of a hundred households, I'm bothered." Yu Yan lifted the curtain of the carriage and thanked the head of the hundred households.

"The queen is so noble that my Qinghe town is full of brilliance, and I will never dare to be disturbed." The head of the hundred households hurriedly kowtowed and replied slightly.

Shu Lanqi did not reveal his identity, but only asked the people above to come down and announce the decree, saying that the queen of Houqing wanted to borrow the way. So the head of the hundred households didn't know his identity, and he didn't look at him.

Under the leadership of the head of a hundred households, the group entered the town.

This town is very distinctive, full of white walls and blue bricks, meandering in the sun, like nimble white snakes. A small clear river about five or six feet wide gurgled forward, but the water was shallow enough to see the rocks at the bottom.

The bluestone steps stretched into the creek, and the faint sound of pounding laundry came to my ears. The riverside is planted with poplar trees, and the straight trunks are tied with red silk.

"It hasn't rained in two months, and it's for rain." Seeing her looking out of the car window, Shu Lanqi explained to her in a whisper.

Yu Yan nodded lightly and lowered the curtain.

The carriage stopped in front of a big mansion, and Shu Lanqi jumped off the horse and personally helped Yu Yan down.

She was very weak, and she didn't have a maid to support her, so she walked in with Su Lanqi holding her arm. There was a faint pain in her lower abdomen, which made her worried.

"Liufu." She looked up at the plaque on the door and whispered.

"Lord Liu is an official in Beijing, this is his ancestral home, and there are only housekeepers and servants in the house. Lord Liu's meaning, please ask the queen to be wronged for one night for the time being, and live in Liufu. The head of the hundred households followed behind the two and introduced them with a smile.

"It's good." Yu Yan smiled, lifted her skirt lightly, and crossed the high threshold.

"Be careful." Shu Lanqi bent down and helped her lift the corners of her skirt high, and waited until both of her feet crossed the threshold before she straightened up.

It was not the first time he had shown his attentiveness and thoughtfulness in front of Yu Yan, Yu Yan's bad impression of him had already disappeared, after all, he had saved her several times.

"The queen has rested for a while, and has prepared a wine banquet, and she will be ready to start the banquet soon." The head of the hundred households led the two to the flower hall and invited her to sit down.

Two delicate girls held tea, and several thin men
