The first snow falls, and the continuous peaks and peaks of Shikun Mountain are white and expansive.

With the cold north wind, the winding mountain road is even more rugged and difficult to navigate.

But this kind of weather still can't stop the messengers who come from thousands of miles to speed up.

In a few days, the great joy in the capital will be conveyed to even a remote place like Shikun Mountain.

The messenger on horseback didn't know that the letter in his bag was different from what he had received elsewhere!

In the northern suburbs of Yingtian City, the small building in the hospital is warm, and as soon as a few autumn rains pass, the temperature plummets, and the brazier can't wait to be used.

I watched the maid in the corner of the wall fiddle with the coals in the basin, and suddenly it occurred to me that it had been three days since we last met.

This means that the hunting day that Xiao Ning agreed with me will be the day after tomorrow.

It's rare to be without a trace for three days in a row!

The maid turned around and served me a cup of hot tea, and my heart skipped a beat when I smelled the familiar smell.

The maid noticed that my expression was different, and she lowered her head and lifted the lid to confirm the tea in the pot. "Hey, the person on duty today made a mistake, how did he serve the young lady's favorite tea."

Apologetically, she turned to ask the other people standing nearby. "It's okay," I stopped her, "it's on it, this tea is already delicious, but I'm worried that he won't have it enough when he comes." “

In my heart, I know very well that this hypothesis will not be true in the future, but I will have to add this sentence in this case. "If it's not enough, ask the steward to have someone get some more."

The maid smiled smoothly and looked up at me. "You are the person on the tip of Gongzi's heart, how can you miss the tea you drink here."

Her words were flattering, but unfortunately, I listened to it very unpleasantly, and I wanted to correct her, but Xiao Ning came upstairs unexpectedly at this time. "You go down." I glanced at the few maids in the room who were blushing when he entered the door, and sent them all away.

Lest you stay here and say something you don't like. Everyone is embarrassed. "Xiao Ling'er," Xiao Ning walked up to me, stretched out his hand to pick me up, and muttered as he walked. "You didn't lie to me, it's a little fatter." "Xiao Ning." I said with a native face in his arms, "I said I could go by myself, and I walked slowly." "With me here, do you need to walk on your own, slowly?" "Wasn't you complaining about my fat just now?" "It's not a complaint, it's a pleasure, I'm glad you're too late to gain weight." "I didn't hear that."

Xiao Ning sat on the chair by the window, pulled me on his knees, looked down at me with a smile, and said, "You didn't hear me." It's you who are sluggish. "So thin, I look uncomfortable, some time ago, I saw that your wrist was so thin that it felt like it would break with a little force." "It's better to be fatter and more able to support your clothes."

Except for the palace people who were tailored a few days ago. This is the second time that someone has been said to be able to hold up clothes.

I wanted to ask him, but after thinking about it, I didn't think it was necessary. "You drink tea." I gestured to the brewed tea on the table. "Let me drink tea as soon as you come, what's wrong?" "It's your exclusive tea, don't you drink it?" "The maid on duty just now made a mistake." "It was foresight to me, knowing that I would come to see you today."

I saw Xiao Ning bring tea to his mouth and take a few sips. Looking up at him, he said, "You said a few days ago that you were going to take me to the mountains to hunt the day after tomorrow?" Day after tomorrow? ”

"You haven't forgotten jì, have you?" I asked Xiao Ning in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"How, when will the things promised to you be forgotten, you need to make some preparations."

"Ready? What do I need to prepare? I was dazed for a moment, looked at Xiao Ning and asked.

"Nature is the preparation to have to be done for a night stay in the mountains, what you need close to yourself. I'll conjure it up for you somewhere when the time comes. ”

Xiao Ning glanced at me funny, and said to me with a soft gaze: "You have to seize this opportunity to have fun, in the next time, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for you to go out." ”

I don't know what will happen in the future?! A thought crossed my mind.

With a definite answer, my mood was noticeably better. Looking sideways at the exquisite refreshments on the table, I felt a little hungry.

Xiao Ning glanced at me, smiled and moved the plate of snacks to me. "Do you want me to feed it or do you do it yourself?" "I'm not very good at my feet, not my hands, and I'm talking nonsense." "As if I hadn't fed you." "That's when I'm too sick to get up, take care of the sick and feed them, and treat them during special periods."

"Besides, I've also fed you medicine and porridge, we're even, okay?"

"Really flattened? Nothing owed? Xiao Ning leaned his head close to me and asked in a low voice.

"No, I don't owe." I replied with a little weakness, in fact, I spent his money on food and clothing in Xiaolou, but this time I was so strong that I refused to let it!

"It's not good, I have to think of ways to make you owe me more, and I owe it until I can't pay it off, and then you have to be entangled by me for the rest of your life, you say, okay?"

Obviously he knew his mind, and he knew that what would happen next would be contrary to what he thought, but he was half joking and half ridiculing, with a focused look, at this moment, he was so affectionate that my heart beat faster!

I hurriedly turned my head, took a deep breath, and shoved a large piece of pastry into my mouth.

The throat choked uncomfortably, and finally suppressed the undulating mood.

Choked a few times, but had to spit it out again, Xiao Ning anxiously patted my back and said, "No one is robbing you, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"I'm not to blame you," I took a few sips of water from my teacup, and my breath was smooth, "When I'm eating, don't interrupt, I hate eating when others interrupt me." “

Xiao Ning smiled: "Okay, don't dare to interrupt." ”

The voice of the maid came from the stairs: "Miss, the person sent by Mr. Ge is here." ”

Xiao Ning let go of me, got up and greeted me, "At this moment, why did you suddenly send someone?" ”

I was anxious, for fear that the person who came would reveal the stuffing, but I saw that Xiao Ning had already walked quickly to the maid and took a small box.

"Brought in medicine?" He turned and looked back at me. Seeing that my face changed, he immediately put down the pill box and walked next to me, leaned down to look at me and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nope. It's nothing," I glanced at the box quickly, and slandered in my heart, Mr. Ge's medicine was too unfortunate, he probably didn't expect Xiao Ning to be here with me.

Xiao Ning looked down at me for a moment, and felt that there was nothing abnormal, and then his eyes fell on the brazier in the corner of the room: "Is it because the room is not warm enough?" "No, it won't." From time to time, my eyes swept over the wooden box on the table that had been in his hand and was now ignored.

Although he knew that even if he opened it, Xiao Ning would not know the purpose of the medicine inside, but others were here. It still makes me nervous. "Xiao Ling'er," Xiao Ning instructed someone to come up and add charcoal fire, and whispered, "When it comes to winter, I won't let you stay here no matter what." "We'll talk about that then." I said perfunctorily.

Xiao Ning before leaving. Glancing at the neglected box on the table, he paused, looked back at me and said, "Before you leave the day after tomorrow, remember to bring enough medicine, the mountains are cold, and you need to bring more clothes." “

On the way to the mountains, Xiao Ning insisted that I ride in the carriage with him.

The sky was just bright. I sat in the car and looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Before you came, you said a few times that I should not underestimate you, and said that the distance of riding a horse is far and near, what are the road conditions, and now why is it a car again?" ”

"Little fool. Of course, it's a long way to go, and when you get to the edge of the hunting ground, you can ride a horse if you want. "Now, the horse follows the chariot, led by the attendant."

Xiao Ning lifted the curtain of the car window. I turned my head to look at the back of the carriage, and sure enough, I saw the docile pony I was accustomed to riding following behind the carriage and being led away by the attendants. "You're pretty thoughtful."

I didn't even wake up completely when I went out in the morning, and I thought about it for most of the night yesterday, half excited, half anxious, and with a sense of apprehension, it was difficult to sleep the whole night.

When Xiao Ning carried me into the carriage, I was in a daze.

It was almost half an hour after walking out of the northern suburbs before I completely came to my senses.

Reaching out and quietly touching the sleeve, the small packet of medicinal powder sent by Mr. Ge yesterday was still there. "What are you thinking?" Xiao Ning's bland questioning made me startled for a moment. "Ah, I'm wondering, there's not a lot of prey in the mountain paddocks." "Are you worried about your dinner?" Xiao Ning smiled, "Don't worry, no matter how bad I am, and there are guards, I won't let you go hungry." "Where to stay at night?" I asked, and the map of Yingtian that I had read countless times came to mind, and of course I had confirmed the location of the enclosure. "There is a small river flowing through the glade at the edge of the paddock, and the tent builders have already gone."

When the carriage was about to reach the enclosure in the mountains, I passed a mountain pass, and I saw a faint fork in the road that had submerged into the forest, and my heart was beating fast for a while.

Xiao Ning's gaze came through, and I quickly turned around, lazily closed the curtain of the car, and leaned on the cushion. "Xiao Ling'er, in fact, I have a few words I want to tell you." Xiao Ning hesitated, his eyes lowered and he opened his mouth. "Your Highness," the voice of the guard came from outside the car, "there is a place on the road ahead that has been eroded by rain, and stones have fallen on the hill blocking the junction, and there is a need to detour. "You can do it, just do your best to get to the paddock."

The sudden interruption made Xiao Ning, who had originally spoken to his lips, even more hesitant, he thought for a moment, and it seemed that he couldn't make a decision.

The deep eyes stared at me for a long time, and Xiao Ning said softly: "Xiao Ling'er will tell you when she returns from hunting at night." “

Thousands of miles away in Shikun Mountain, Jing Lan, who received the messenger from Yingtian, unfolded the letter that was difficult to deliver.

When she read the contents of the letter clearly, she was stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time.

The messenger was sent away, and Jing Lan sat in front of the window in her hand for the whole afternoon.
