After eating, everyone continued on their journey. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Inside the carriage.

Cui Shi closed his eyes and recuperated without saying a word, and the two maids beside him slowly fanned the master.

Jing Ci sat quietly on the side and did not bother.

After a while, Cui Shi rested enough, before she opened her eyes and looked at Jing Ci, she smiled, "I see Yang Siniang and Ah Sheng talking and laughing freely, you should have known each other for a long time, right?" ”

Jing Ci turned to Cui Shi and nodded back, "I have known Cui Lang for many years, and we are all confidants and friends. ”

"Alas, don't look at Ah Sheng when he goes out when he is young, he looks calm and mature, but in fact, he is sometimes very willful. In order to commemorate her mother, and at the same time to express her dissatisfaction with Wu Youji, she insisted on calling herself 'Cui Lu' in front of others, you can tell him about him...... I am not afraid of offending Princess Taiping. ”

"Cui Lang is a smart person, he has been going south and north for many years, and he is already different from ordinary Lang Jun, Cui Niang doesn't have to worry about him."

Cui Shi shook her head, she didn't agree with this, she looked at Jing Ci with her eyes, "I am impressed by Yang Siniang, the prince told me about you, at a young age, ambitious and courageous, it is rare to dare to fight against the eldest sister in the family." ”

"Thank you Cui Niang for the compliment."

Cui's maidservant took out some snacks and presented them to the master, and Cui's gesture to give Jing words first. After that, along the way, Jing Ci was the first everywhere.

Cui's treated Jing Ci with a lot of respect, but he didn't say much along the way, as if he felt that in terms of identity, Jing Ci was a guest, but from the perspective of being women, they were not the same kind of people.

Jing Ci felt Cui's intentional politeness and alienation, so she silently accepted the distance opened by the other party, since the other party did not accept her from the bottom of her heart, she forcibly approached, which would only cause disgust.

They had to spend the night at the Didian on the way.

The three of them dined together in the lobby of the mansion, and when they went out, the conditions were limited, and the meals were not as good as the brocade clothes and jade food in the house. The three of them sat at the same table, Cui's ate silently, and secretly looked at Jing Ci from time to time, thinking that this Houmen girl was quite able to endure hardships, and in the face of this kind of coarse tea and light rice, she had no complaints, and calmly imported vegetables.

It was about too old to toss and the meal was rough, so Cui's hastily had dinner, then got up and went back to the room, washed and rested.

Jing Ci and Cui Lu glanced at each other, this dinner, Cui Shi sat in the middle, and the two of them sat opposite each other. After Cui's returned to the room, only the two of them were left, and Cui Lu finally reached out to pick up vegetables for her, "Eat more and maintain your strength." ”

Jing Ci nodded and continued to eat, while Cui Lu put down the dishes and chopsticks and watched the person in front of him eat intently. Today she stayed with her aunt, he didn't have a chance to talk to her, just now that her aunt was there, it was even more inconvenient to say more, and now it was not bad to be able to watch her eat.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Jing Ci chewed on the vegetables and spoke quite slurredly.

"I'm full."

She pouted, "Well, don't look at me." ”

"You eat yours, I'll watch mine." The corners of Cui Lu's mouth couldn't help but rise a little, still staring at her.

Jing Ci smiled, and before he knew it, he became slow and organized.

After eating the last bite, she finally put down her chopsticks, and Xiao Er brought a bowl of chilled white fungus at the right time, "Guest officer, please use it slowly."

Jing Ci looked at Cui Lu in confusion.

"It's hot, drink and fall asleep." Cui Qi said, and then brought the iced white fungus to her.

"I'm too full to eat."

"Then go out and eat later."

Jing Ci smiled and nodded, and the two of them got up together and walked side by side to the door of the mansion. As the two walked, they subconsciously held hands and walked in the moonlight.

It's a small city, the curfew isn't as strict as Chang'an's, but at night there are basically no vendors and pedestrians in the square, and the surroundings are quiet, and tonight there is a crescent moon that lights up the streets.

The two walked hand in hand, listening to each other's shallow breathing.

"Actually...... I was really irresponsible, and I hid in Luzhou when I encountered a little personal threat, and my grandmother must have been disappointed in me. Jing Ci lowered his head and chuckled, his words full of helplessness.

"You have also seen how ambitious Yang Shouyan is, Princess Taiping chased after you, and finally even issued an assassination order, compared to your personal safety, everything has become secondary. Jing Ci, you are so smart, you must be a wise man, don't be a reckless man. He stopped, stood in front of her, stared at her solemnly.

Jing Ci pursed her lips and nodded slightly, leaving the green mountains behind, not afraid of no firewood, she understands this truth, but the grievances in her heart make people uncomfortable. Fortunately, these days, he has been accompanying her in Luzhou, he didn't say anything, but she could feel everything.

"After returning to Chang'an, we rarely saw each other."

"I remember that you didn't fall asleep until nearly midnight every night, and then you went to bed earlier and went to bed one day, and although we couldn't see each other, it would be nice to fall asleep at the same time."

Jing Ci couldn't help but smile when he heard this, the summer breeze was blowing, and it was very refreshing and comfortable.

After a while, she said, "But...... It was too early for me to sleep. ”

Cui Lu reluctantly pouted and flicked her head mercilessly, "Then I have to go to bed later." ”

"Forget it, I'd better go to bed earlier," Jing Ci changed the hexagram, "You have to enter the palace before dawn every day, if you are tired, wouldn't it be my responsibility." ”

Cui Luo smiled, pressed his chin against her forehead, and his tone was full of doting, "It's good to know." ”

It's summer, and it's not cool even at night.

The two stayed under the moonlight for nearly an hour, and the people who loved each other always had endless words, even if they talked about eating and drinking, they could also talk about poetry.

…………

A few days later.

Jing Ci and the others finally entered Chang'an City.

The city is full of the eyeliner of Yang Shouyan and Princess Taiping, and Jing Ci in the car deliberately opens the window and pretends to look around at the street scene as if nothing happened. The eyeliner hidden in the dark recognized Jing Ci at a glance, and naturally recognized that there was also a side concubine Cui Shi of the Prime Minister's Mansion sitting in the car.

They didn't dare to do it lightly, so they quickly went back to report the situation to their masters.

The carriage went all the way to the north of the city, and finally stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cui's got out of the car, and Jing Ci and Cui Lu entered the palace with Cui's.

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The servant had already prepared a reception feast, and the delicacies and wine were already on the table. A gentle and elegant middle-aged man sat patiently waiting for everyone to arrive.

After a few moments, they finally entered the inner hall.

"Yang Siniang visited King Xiang, thank you King Xiang for his help." Jing Ci immediately stepped forward and saluted the middle-aged man.

"Hurry up, please get up," the peaceful and energetic Xiangwang stretched out his hand to help her, "You are not only doing things for San Lang, but also doing things for my Xiangwang Mansion, Yang Siniang has something, how can this king stand by and watch!" ”

Jing Ci got up and looked at King Xiang, his expression was very respectful, "The next thing, I'm afraid there will be Prince Lao." ”

"It's nature!" Xiang Wang nodded solemnly.

Cui Lu on the side said, "The king is fine." ”

Xiangwang patted Cui Lu's shoulder, and then looked at Cui Niang with a soft look, "You don't have to be polite to your own people." All the way, come, let's eat first, sit and talk. ”
