Chapter 162: Carpooling
After all, it is an annual royal event, and this battle is really big, not to mention anything else, the honor guard alone will dispatch thousands of people, not including the vanguard army that has been arranged at the royal ranch in advance.
Although Emperor Qi Wen has always disliked extravagance and waste, there is still no room left for this royal solemnity and grandeur.
Because Princess Liu had a child, Qi You didn't have a carriage with her, but squeezed into a carriage with Xibao.
Although the carriage is not big, it was indeed specially arranged by Qi You, and there is everything in it.
As soon as Qi You got into the carriage, Xi Bao was startled, Xi Bao didn't think that Qi You would share a carriage with her, although he was sweet in his heart, he was still worried: "Lord, it's okay for you to be there with the princess." โ
Qi You smiled: "What, if the princess sees it, you still plan to go down." โ
Xibao said angrily: "How dare you." โ
"Isn't that over, the master is here, what can the princess say, what are you worried about, move it inside, and make some room for the master." Qi You sat down as he spoke.
Xibao rolled in with a smile and said, "That's good." โ
Qi You leaned on the soft couch and half-lay down and said, "Oh, but I can rest for a while." โ
Xibao came over with a smile and said, "Master, you look very tired, why didn't you rest well at night?" โ
Qi You pinched the corners of his sour eyes and said, "Yes, I chatted too late with my fifth brother last night, and I got up early in the morning today, can I not be tired." โ
Xibao smiled and stretched out his little paw to help Qi You press his forehead and said, "Master, it's true, I know that I am going to leave today, and I am still fooling around with the fifth master." โ
Qi You smiled: "You don't know the fifth brother's temperament, hey." โ
Xibao said with concern: "Master, you won't even use breakfast, right?" โ
Qi You closed his eyes and said, "That's not true, I used some for breakfast." โ
Xibao said: "That's good, it's uncomfortable to sleep well and eat badly." โ
Qi You smiled: "That's you, picky and squeamish." โ
Xibao pursed his lips at Qi You and continued: "Master, people work so hard. You're still making trouble! โ
Qi You smiled: "Why did you work hard?" โ
Xibao said unhappily: "Why isn't it hard, although the master and the fifth master have stayed up in the palace for half a night, but the concubine didn't go to bed early, and she got up just after Yin Shi today." Then he went into the palace and chatted with the queen and the other princesses for more than half an hour, isn't this still helping you press your head? โ
Qi You said: "It's really hard for you to say this, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night?" โ
Xibao sighed and said: "I'm not preparing clothes for my lord, although I know that Sister Princess will definitely prepare you, but the concubine body still prepares it for you just in case." By the way, the fifth master doesn't know what someone has prepared for him, and the concubine also prepared one for the fifth master by the way. โ
Qi You opened his eyes and said, "You are caring, more and more like a housekeeper, I didn't expect you to still think about the fifth brother's share." โ
Xibao smiled: "Master, don't get me wrong, because the fifth master is your younger brother, and he is not married yet, this matter of packing luggage will definitely not be bothered, so the concubine helped prepare one for him by the way." Just by the way. โ
Qi You smiled and pinched Xibao's little face and said: "Who are you as a master, I know that you feel sorry for the fifth brother because of the relationship between the master, but your little sister-in-law and fifth brother didn't call it in vain, thank you." โ
Xibao was stunned: "Huh? โ
Xibao was a little stunned, her uncle and sister-in-law are different, she should avoid Qi Zhe, but for Qi Zhe, a little uncle who is not much older than her, Xibao really likes it in her heart, just like her eldest brother and second brother, like a relative.
In addition, Qi Zhe is Qi Youzui's beloved younger brother. And thinking that Qi Zhe lost his mother when he was young, and now he is alone, there is some maternal love overflowing in his heart, anyway, he has to prepare. Qi Zhe is slightly thinner than Qi You, and it is not troublesome to prepare together.
But after all, it was a man other than Qi You, although he was Qi You's younger brother, but Xibao was also afraid that he would misunderstand, so he said it first while Qi You was in a good mood.
Qi You rubbed Xibao's little face and said, "Thank you for taking care of your fifth brother." โ
Xibao smiled stupidly: "Hehe, the concubine who cares about the master will also care." It's good if you don't get angry. โ
Qi You pressed against Xibao's forehead and said, "Little girl, you are so attentive, how can you be angry, little fool." โ
Yes, how could Qi You be angry, it was too late for him to thank him, he was worried that the fifth brother was alone and had no preparation, but he didn't expect Xibao to be thoughtful.
He didn't know that most of Xibao's reason was that he took special care of the fifth brother because of his relationship, and everyone knew that he loved the fifth brother, so everyone would look at Qi You's face when it came to Qi Zhe.
Xibao is such a smart girl naturally understood, but Xibao's concern reveals a smell of family affection, and he can detect that Xibao is really distressed by the fifth brother, not just because he is his Qi You's younger brother.
Such extra affection for Qi You made Qi You very touched and warm, at least there was one more person who could really care about the fifth brother, and he really cared about it instead of having to care because of Qi You.
Of course, Xibao also has a good grasp of the proportions of doing things, although he cares, but he will always tell him first, which will not make people feel uncomfortable.
Don't look at the little girl's delicate and delicate, but this thing is very intimate, and it is estimated that the fifth brother will be happy when he knows it.
Seeing that Qi You didn't have any unhappy expression, Xibao also said with confidence: "Master, you're welcome." โ
Qi You smiled: "If you are so attentive, the fifth brother will definitely be very happy, he really didn't prepare anything, this kid has a good fate." โ
Xibao smiled: "That's not because he is the younger brother of the master, the eldest brother and the second brother of the concubine have always loved me so much." โ
Qi You smiled and said, "Speaking of your eldest brother, it's been almost two months, have you received any letters from him?" โ
Xibao shook his head and said, "No, maybe there are more things there, and the eldest brother is a novice, so he is probably very busy." โ
Qi You said: "Your eldest brother is really busy, but you don't have to worry, didn't the master send someone to follow secretly, a few days ago, that person also sent a letter back to say that your eldest brother was fine, but when he first arrived in the south, he was a little uncomfortable, but now he is very adaptable." โ
Xibao sighed and said: "When the second brother went to the northwest, he wrote that he was unaccustomed to the soil for a while, but then it was good to practice, and the eldest brother will definitely be able to go to the unfamiliar south, hey." โ
Qi You smiled: "This is a normal situation. Not to mention your eldest brother and second brother, even when you went to the northwest before, it took you a lot of time to get used to it. โ
Xibao smiled: "It turns out that the master also has a wolf bรจi." โ
Qi You smiled: "Ye is a human being and not a god, so naturally there will be times when he is not adaptable, but Ye is quite good." If you look at the three or four days of travel, there will be a lot of people who are not used to it, and it is estimated that they will vomit and faint, and they will definitely have to recover for a day or two when they arrive at the palace. โ
Xibao smiled and said, "The concubine has known it for a long time. So I specially prepared a small jar of dried plums in case it was uncomfortable on the road.
Qi You said: "You are careful and even prepared this." โ
Xibao said: "What is this, the concubine has prepared a lot of snacks and preserved fruits, which are enough for us to eat along the way." โ
Qi You laughed and said: "Little girl, you are really interesting, you don't know that there will be a post station where you can rest and eat along the way, you really plan to eat all-you-can-eat with snacks." โ
Xibao pouted: "Even if there is a post station, the food may not be appetizing!" โ
Qi You doted on Xibao's little head and said, "Okay, bring it, bring it, it's okay to be a snack on the road." Don't be angry, look at your temperament. โ
Xibao raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "Hmph! โ
Qi You hugged Xibao and said, "Little girl, it's amazing, even the master dares to hum." โ
Xibao lay in Qi You's arms and rubbed impatiently and said: "People are so hard, I'm afraid that the master will be uncomfortable on the road, so I have prepared so much, and I was even laughed at by the master." โ
Qi You hugged Xibao and smiled: "Okay, okay, it's the master, it's not the master, the master apologizes, don't worry about it." โ
Xibao turned around in Qi You's arms. leaning back against his arms and muttering, "The concubine is not so stingy." โ
Qi You tightened the Xibao in his arms and said: "Yes, the master's Xibao is the maximum, cold or not, why are your little hands so cold." โ
looked at the hand that was cherished by Qi You in his big palm. Xibao said: "The concubine has always been like this, when it is cold, the hands and feet are relatively cold, get used to it, it's not really cold." โ
Qi You said: "Why didn't you find out about it?" โ
Xibao smiled: "On weekdays, when it's cold. There is a stove in the house, and in winter, there is a dragon, and the whole house is warm, and the hands and feet are naturally not too cold, which will definitely be a little worse outside. โ
Qi You covered Xibao's little hand and said, "Such a cold little hand, you still don't say it's cold." โ
Xibao said happily: "It's really not cold, this carriage is full of fluffy blankets, and Wenqin has specially prepared a small stove, which is nested in the arms of the master, and the concubine is really not cold." โ
Qi You smiled: "You girl, you can say something nice." โ
Xibao said seriously: "The concubine didn't tell a lie, Lord Wang, you have practiced martial arts all year round, and your body and bones are stronger and more frost-resistant than ordinary people, and nesting by your side in winter is much hotter than holding a stove." โ
Qi You smiled: "Haha, you little girl, in your eyes, you dare to be affectionate, you are a human meat heater who can move." โ
Xibao also smiled: "The concubine didn't say that, it was the master's own imagination, and it has nothing to do with the concubine." โ
Qi You smiled: "You girl, I know that the master is reluctant to clean you up, so you are so bold." โ
Xibao squinted his peach blossom eyes and said with satisfaction: "The master is reluctant to be a concubine because the concubine is reluctant to be a master." โ
Qi You was warmed by Xibao's seemingly contradictory love words, and ensured that Xibao was enjoying the silence of the moment warmly.
Probably really tired, or maybe it was a bumpy trip, Xibao and Qi You chatted and fell asleep hugging each other, and when they woke up again, it was almost evening, and they would arrive at the post station in half an hour.
It was not so much a post station as the emperor's mobile palace, and because the journey to the royal ranch took three or four days, a place to rest along the road had already been arranged.
And this is the first stop, it is a village outside the emperor, it is just dark, and the large army has basically arrived at the resting place. (To be continued.) )
