This rapprochement was huge, and the ritual process was cumbersome. The grandmother in the palace made a special trip to the palace early in the morning to dress up Zhou Qingqing.

Zhou Qingqing's dress, although it is not a wedding dress, but it is better than a wedding dress, wearing a placket gold silk embroidered tunic on the top, a red phoenix tail silk skirt underneath, a waist-length green silk is combed into a heart bun, the hair bun is decorated with gold wire hollow beads, a jasper gilt hairpin is inserted on the top, and a cloud sideburn flower is worn under the gold step, and the forehead is a pair of red agate eyebrows.

When the Dingxi Royal Mansion fell for a long time, Zhou Qingqing was no different from an ordinary daughter, where was there such a dress, I only felt that when I moved a step, the jewelry and jade jewelry on this body swayed, making people sincerely frightened and frightened.

She looked at the strange and glamorous girl in the mirror, and sighed in her heart: The shackles of pearls and jade, the ancients were honest and did not deceive me.

After dressing up, it is time to go to the palace to pay a farewell.

The Zhou family sent her to the door of the house, stopped crying for a few days, and made a comeback, this time crying in unison, the sound came up and down, resounding in the sky.

Zhou Qingqing's words have been explained, and he doesn't have the heart to say it again, but he just watched everyone crying, and he was inevitably a little sad in his heart, but he didn't want to show it. Because she knew that if she cried, her younger brothers and sisters might not be able to hold it back.

She squeezed out a smile suitable for the bride, and waved her hand freely: "Everyone is busy in the morning, let's go in and rest, I'm going to marry my relatives, it's also a happy event, you want to open a little, if you have leisure in the future, I will go back to Jinling to see you." ”

Her tone was relaxed, but she didn't dare to linger longer, and when she finished speaking, she turned into the golden-topped carriage and stepped to the palace to leave.

There was drum music in the palace, and the emperor and queen sat in the town to practice it for her, and after some cumbersome etiquette, Zhou Qingqing, who was shackled by pearls and jade, only felt groggy, and gradually became a little dazed in a happy and peaceful mood.

It wasn't until he was helped out of the main hall and stepped on the chariot that he came back to his senses from the daze. A group of 200 relatives set off from the palace.

The Western Qin envoy was standing at the gate of the palace waiting for him, and the first one was the previous Western Qin envoy who Zhou Xiangxiang was shocked by the heavens. These days, Zhou Qingqing has heard of the Western Qin Mission, and this envoy is General Sanpin of Western Qin, the deputy general of her future husband, King Wu Qin Zhen, named Feng Xiao.

Feng Xiao lowered her head and stood up, waited for Zhou Qingqing to get down from the step, and said softly: "Princess, please get in the car." ”

Zhou Qingqing glanced at him lightly, and saw that this person had lost the tired appearance of the dust and dust when he first saw him, and he looked more and more gentle and handsome, which was really different from those Western Qin soldiers behind him.

But curiosity is curiosity, but she didn't have too much to think about, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, smiled slightly, reached out to lift her skirt, stepped into the carriage, and tilted her head slightly towards Feng Xiao and said, "I'm tired of General Feng along the way." ”

Feng Xiao still bowed her head slightly, and respectfully replied to her: "The princess is polite, it is the duty of the next to bring you to the prince properly." ”

Zhou Qingqing sneered secretly, the road is long, but he is going to marry a man who has a plain life. She got into the car, and Yu Guang glanced around at the Xiqin soldiers, all of whom were rough and bearded, and couldn't help but sketch out the appearance of her imaginary husband in her mind, and suddenly shuddered.

Bihe climbed up behind her, crying at her little face and whispering: "Miss, let's really leave?" ”

Zhou Qingqing rolled her eyelids and glanced at her: "Are you dreaming?" Don't follow me, and don't cry for me then. ”

Bi He snorted twice and sat down opposite her, and grinned again: "As long as you follow the eldest lady, the slaves and maids will be happy wherever they go." ”

Zhou Qingqing chuckled and kicked her playfully.

Suddenly there was a thunderous drum outside, and Nie Jin, who was sitting in front of the carriage, whispered inside: "Miss, you're about to leave, are you ready?" ”

Zhou Qingqing knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and there are hometowns in the four seas." I really don't believe that Xijing is a land of tigers and wolves. ”

Nie Jin also smiled: "Miss, don't worry, even if there are jackals, tigers and leopards, come one, I Nie Jin will kill one for you, and I will kill a pair for you." ”

Bihe laughed and laughed: "Yes, with Ah Jin, even if it is heaven and earth, Miss doesn't have to be afraid." ”

A few people whispered, and the team set off to the sound of drums.

Zhou Qingqing took off the pearl and jade shackles on his body a little, and pulled out a red rope from his neck, and under the red rope hung a white crescent-shaped pendant, the shape was simple and unpretentious, it turned out to be a wolf tooth.

She held the wolf's tooth in her hand and rubbed it gently: "Daddy, you have knowledge under the spring, keep me safe on this road." ”

Suddenly remembered that ten years ago, her father Zhou Hao returned triumphantly from the frontier and made her talisman for bringing back this wolf tooth. The wolf's teeth are still there, but things are not human.

In her arms, the mighty team of relatives passed through the downtown area, and the noise of the people in the market made Zhou Qingqing come back to her senses slightly.

She lifted the curtain a little and looked out through the thin slit. I saw that both sides of the street were crowded with people, all of them with excited faces, and some of them were almost in pain. There are also people carrying vegetables, fruits and dry food, and delivering them to the team.

There were soldiers walking on the side of the road, stuffed in their arms, and they were not lost or lost when they held them, and they couldn't help but be embarrassed for a while.

Nie Jin, who was in front of the carriage, was obviously not spared, and reached in with a big hand holding two peaches, and smiled helplessly: "Miss, this is a little bit of the heart of the people of Jinling, how about you taste it?" ”

Zhou Qingqing put down the curtain, took the peach in his hand, and handed one to Bihe.

After tossing for a long time, she was also a little hungry, so she wiped the fruit in her hand with a handkerchief and took a bite.

Not to mention, it's sweet.

She was concentrating on the fruit in her hand, but a moment later, a shout resounded through the sky that almost choked on her.

"Princess Changning, for thousands of generations! Princess Changning, supported by 10,000 people! Princess Changning, a heroine! Princess Changning, immortal! ”

Zhou Qingqing was stunned, glanced at Bihe opposite, and laughed out loud.

"Miss, you are a big hero to the people of Jinling now, do you know how pleased Wang Ye Quanxia will be!"

Zhou Qingqing shook his head with a smile, took a bite of the peach hard, and said disapprerovitically: "If you just become a parent, you will become a big hero, and the hero of our Southern Zhou is too easy to be." ”

Bihe said: "Isn't this pro someone can do it?" Isn't the second lady unwilling? Anyway, in Bihe's heart, the eldest lady is a hero. ”

The little girl's mouth has always been coaxing, Zhou Qingqing glanced at her, smiled and didn't speak again.

Bihe listened to the noise outside, couldn't help but be curious, and quietly opened the curtain on her side. After a while, he suddenly called out softly: "Miss, madam, they are sending you on the side of the road, do you want to see them?" ”

Zhou Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her side, Bihe saw this and wanted to open all the curtains, but she stopped her: "That's it!" ”

Through a gap in the curtain, she saw familiar faces on the side of the road. Aunt Xu and her eldest sister Zhou Ranran hugged and cried, Zhou Xiangxiang and Zhou Xun stood on tiptoe side by side, looking in the direction of the carriage with red eyes, only Zhou Yue stood beside her mother in ignorance, looking at the team with an ignorant face.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Qingqing put down the curtain and sat down again.

Seeing her calm expression, Bi He asked tentatively: "Miss, if you are sad and reluctant to miss the young master and them, do you want to stop and say goodbye to them?" ”

"The wood is already in the boat, what if you are reluctant, and say goodbye again, it will only increase the sadness. I'm going to get married, and I'm still marrying the prince who is above 10,000 people under Xiqin, why is it sad? She feigned a free wave of her hand, put the remaining peach in her mouth and took a hard bite. Helplessly, she bit the peach pit and grinned her teeth.

Seeing this, Bihe laughed and gloated.

Zhou Qingqing pursed his lips, looked at the peach beard in his hand, and laughed out loud, and the noisy and flashy in Jinling City gradually disappeared in this laughter.

After leaving the gate of the imperial capital, he officially embarked on the road of westward harmony, and also started a months-long camping. Hurry by day, camp at night, pass through the castles and post stations, and resupply for the next leg of the journey.

Zhou Qingqing has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has been in charge of a down-and-out palace for the past two years, he is not a delicate stream, and he is not used to the long bumps of the carriage at first, but after two days, he soon became accustomed to it.

However, the peace between Western Qin and Southern Zhou was obviously not so happy, and the grievances accumulated by the two countries over the years of war had already infiltrated from top to bottom, and were soon vividly reflected in this peace army.

There are more than 100 people in the team of the Western Qin, all of whom are soldiers from the military camp, these years of the dispute between the two countries, the Western Qin has always occupied the upper hand, their wise and martial king Qin Zhen, suddenly proposed to stop the war with the relatives, although the people supported and applauded, but for the soldiers, there is a trace of unwillingness, after all, if the fight continues, the Southern Zhou may be in the bag of the Western Qin. Therefore, most of these court-seeking soldiers disagreed with this peace, and they also disdained the Southern Zhou people who gave them to marry, feeling that these southerners were weak and incompetent.

For the Southern Zhou people, the fierce and rugged Western Qin people, with swallow jaws and beards, do not like to bathe, and like to eat raw meat, which is tantamount to barbarians.

Especially in terms of food, the two sides are even more at odds. Nearly 200 people in the Southern Zhou Dynasty sent a wedding team, in addition to the soldiers, there are also dowry maids and embroidery craftsmen, there are these people, every time they camp in the village, the food here in the Southern Zhou is always varied, and the Western Qin is rough and simple. So the resentment became deeper and deeper.

If the two sides don't look at each other well, it will inevitably lead to friction of one kind or another. When Zhou Qingqing sat in the carriage, he often heard such whispered conversations.

The Western Qin soldier said.

"If you look at the small bodies of those southerners, I can take down four or five of them alone."

"But no, if it weren't for the prince's mercy and retreat, our Western Qin Iron Cavalry would have leveled the Southern Zhou Dynasty long ago."

"This princess Changning is also a good fate, and she can marry our prince."

"That being said, with Princess Changning's weak willow body, I don't know how many nights I can spend on the prince's couch."

Zhou Qingqing said in his heart that he has been practicing martial arts for many years, and it is okay to punch hooligans and kick scoundrels, is it possible that your prince can still be a fierce bird and beast?

And this Southern Zhou people often say.

"Look at those Western Qin people, they all look like bears, what do they know besides knowing how to fight and kill?"

"But no, if it weren't for the early death of the king of Dingxi County, it would be the turn of these barbarians to be arrogant with our Southern Zhou."

"The most hateful thing is that the cruel martial king actually wants to marry our princess Changning."

"Princess Changning is both talented and beautiful, and it is really a pity and hateful to marry Qin Zhen who kills people without blinking."

Zhou Qingqing said that he thought so.

The differences between Western Qin and Southern Zhou were like a small microcosm, intensifying in this contingent of hundreds of people.

Fortunately, the generals on both sides, Feng Xiao and General Chen, are both well-versed people, if there are any excessive signs on their side, they will be suppressed, and before they go all the way west to Shouzhou, the people on both sides are at most fighting with each other, rolling their eyes a few times, and letting Zhou Qingqing, the princess in the camp tent in the carriage, listen to the arrangement of Qin Zhen and himself on both sides, and treat it as a joke to pass the boring journey, that's all.

It's all harmless.
