Chapter 70 Dangtu County
The three of them joked with each other from time to time in the gazebo, but they were also laughing and laughing, and they didn't worry about the heat around them under the scorching sun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Mu may have left the capital and left the palace walls that surrounded him in the past, he was always in good spirits along the way, and he was not too tired no matter how he hurried.
No, the weather in April is the time when the azaleas are blooming brilliantly, and some azaleas are scattered around this pavilion.
Zhao Mu's eyes lit up, and he looked at the azalea for a while, and then secretly looked at Shen Qiwu, who was talking and laughing with Yan Ruojun.
Azalea.
Zhao Mu took advantage of Shen Qiwu's inattention, slipped out of the pavilion and picked those azaleas.
"It can be seen that Your Highness is very dependent on you." Yan Ruojun withdrew his gaze from Zhao Mu and said with interest.
When Shen Qiwu heard this, he shook his head coldly, completely different from when he was talking and laughing just now, "Dependence is a kind of inertia, and Zhao Mu is only like this because he got free out of the capital." For the rest, needless to say. ”
"Really?" Yan Ruojun thought about it and said thoughtfully: "Everything has its two sides, dependence is not so much inertia, but it can also be seen as love"
Shen Qiwu just smiled and scoffed at Yan Ruojun's remarks.
The relationship between Shen Qiwu and Zhao Mu is said to be husband and wife, but it is very reluctant, because they have not had sex together. Between the two of them, there is more of an element of acting on the spot, and Shen Qiwu escaped from the Shen family who suppressed him through marriage. And Zhao Mu got it through marriage, what?
Shen Qiwu suddenly couldn't think of it, because she found out. Zhao Mu didn't get anything, but he never changed, he was still Zhao Mu, and he was still the prince.
"Qiwu, this azalea is for you." After a while, Zhao Mu came back with a large bouquet of azaleas and excitedly stuffed it into Shen Qiwu's hand.
Shen Qiwu lowered his head and sniffed lightly, the faint fragrance of azaleas, and smiled, "Thank you." ”
Zhao Mu was stunned, and he didn't know whether he was fascinated by the flowers held by Shen Qiwu in his hand, or by the person who held the flowers, so he couldn't help blurting out, "Thank you, I'm your husband!" ”
"Really?" Shen Qiwu held the flowers, lowered her head and couldn't see her emotions, she closed her eyes and carefully reflected the fragrance of flowers into her heart.
Dependence, perhaps, can really become love.
But in Shen Qiwu's heart, there is only one time, because the next time it starts, dependence will become inertia for her.
At this time, the scouts who were exploring the way ahead hurried back.
"Your Highness, ahead is Dangtu County. When the Tu County Commander had already prepared a reception banquet, he was sending people to greet His Highness. ”
Shen Qiwu frowned, what annoyed her the most on weekdays was this kind of flattery, and many local officials who had tried their best to please her along the way to the south made her annoyed.
"Oh, got it. You stand down. Zhao Mu waved his hand and sighed: "My father instructed me to be sure to participate in the reception banquet of local officials, and I don't know why. ”
Yan Ruojun smiled and said, "Maybe Your Majesty has something deep." ”
Shen Qiwu raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Could it be that Master, what do you know?" ”
Yan Ruojun shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "The most difficult thing in the world to figure out is the emperor's mind, what can I know as a nerd." ”
While he was talking, the people from the Tu County Order Sect had already arrived.
"Xiaguan should be the master of Tu County, Hou Yuan, to participate in His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess, and Master Yan." This is a middle-aged man with a white face and a clean robe.
"Well, get up." Although Zhao Mu said that he was familiar with Shen Qiwu, it didn't mean that he was as enthusiastic in front of outsiders, he asked with a cold face, "What do you have to tell me?" ”
Master Hou smiled very respectfully, and his tone was also unscrupulous, only to see him kneeling on the ground and saying: "The county commander has prepared a reception banquet for His Royal Highness in the mansion, and asked His Highness to move." ”
"Got it, you can stand back and wait." Zhao Mu waved his sleeves and asked this Master Hou to go down and wait first.
"I don't know what my father has in mind, I can't refuse any of them, I'm really tired." Zhao Mu sat down and began to complain about the emperor who was far away in the capital.
For him, these so-called reception banquets are nothing more than an illusion created by some thick-faced and black-hearted officials. For example, under the rule of Taiping, all kinds of praise for the emperor's great achievements, crazy to please you, to cater to you.
"Let's go, I'll go with you once today. Anyway, we will probably go our separate ways when we arrive in Nanjing. Yan Ruojun spoke.
"Old man, are you going?" Shen Qiwu glanced at him, "Then let's go and see what tricks this Dangtu County Spirit can come up with." ”
At night, Zhao Mu and the three rushed to Dangtu County with a guard of less than 100 people.
When Tu County Ling was a middle-aged man named Song Jinliang, he had wide eyebrows and eyes, and at first glance he was a reader, or a disgusting reader.
Because Shen Qiwu saw desire in his eyes, although he hid it well, he was still captured. Such a person is not like those local officials who are high-ranking on the surface, because he can't disguise himself.
What is a human being, full of desire.
"I heard that His Royal Highness is a person who loves flowers, Your Highness, look at this pot of Junzi Orchid. It was the characteristics of the lower officials who sent people from Nanjing. Song Jinliang led Zhao Mu and Shen Qiwu into the hall, and hurriedly brought out a pot of beautiful Junzi Orchid.
"Good flowers." Zhao Mu, who has always been accustomed to seeing famous flowers, couldn't help but exclaim.
I saw that the leaves of the flower were slender, like a weeping willow, the stems and branches were tender and white, and the pale white was like four small flowers blooming on the ***, as white as snow. As soon as the flowers are taken out, there is a faint fragrance wafting from the branches and leaves.
As soon as this orchid came out, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the field, because this orchid was so beautiful, white and crystalline, anyone wanted to touch it, but they were reluctant to start.
Even Shen Qiwu, who has always been quite uninterested in this, can't help but be a little obsessed, and he is worthy of being known as an orchid with noble conduct.
"I'll give this flower to Your Highness." Song Jinliang's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness, and he quickly hid it.
Zhao Mu is not hypocritical, this pot of flowers is very tempting to him. Although it was a bit rude to do so, he still ordered someone to accept it.
"Your Highness, go inside. The reception banquet is ready. Song Jinliang nodded while secretly glancing at his master Hou Yuan.
Then Hou Yuan was unnoticed, slowed down, and gradually left here.
All this was naturally seen by Shen Qiwu and Yan Ruojun, and the two of them glanced at each other, and they both somewhat understood each other's thoughts. It seems that there is a lot of article in this Dangtu County!
