154: Go to the front
The queen's body was parked for five days before it was buried in the imperial mausoleum.
On the same day, the funeral procession walked a whole street, which can be described as a vast and magnificent funeral, Ling Ran wore filial piety clothes, walked in front of the queen's tablet, the eldest princess followed, the emperor personally escorted the queen's body into the imperial mausoleum, where the team went, the Praetorian Guards were on both sides, and all the people knelt on the ground, all praised the emperor and the queen for their deep affection.
The people only know the surface but don't know the inside, and Mu Huanyan can only smile.
After the queen was buried, Mu Huanyan received a letter from Mu Yaotian back from home.
Mu Yaotian told her that because it was the Chinese New Year, Xiangguo celebrated with the whole country, but the soldiers of Shengguo were far away from home and were fighting, and the second prince of Xiangguo grabbed the hearts of the people and played the folk song of Shengguo in front of the army. The second prince of Xiangguo repeatedly demanded that as long as Mu Huanyan was handed over, he would withdraw his troops and negotiate peace with Sheng Guo.
Mu Yaotian has been fighting all these years, and he is a victorious general, but he can't resist Chu Yichen, the second prince of Xiangguo, if he continues to fight, the rumors will soon spread to Beijing. Mu Yaotian lost the battle, and he had no shame to return to Beijing to face the saint, and he wrote this letter to ask for Mu Huanyan's opinion, but there is a good way to fight against Xiangguo.
Mu Yaotian was still pressing the news from the front line for the time being, but after a few months of fighting, there was not much military ration left, and at the same time, he also sent a fold, asking the emperor to allocate military rations to the border pass.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succumbed to the disadvantage and repeatedly asked to go to the front to deliver military rations in order to atone for his crimes.
This time, Ling Mo didn't even fight with Ling Ran. Ling Ran took the opportunity to go to the front line to deliver food.
After Mu Huanyan got the news, he decided to follow Ling Ran's team to the front line.
Due to the postponement of the marriage, as Fang thought, Mu Guozhong strongly asked to go to the front line again, but Fang couldn't help him, so he could only agree, Mu Huanyan also went to the front line, and the family naturally knew, so Fang begged Mu Huanyan to take good care of Mu Guozhong.
Cheng Yun is already Mu Guozhong's fiancée, the second day of the new year. The two met. The relationship is getting deeper and deeper, and before leaving, Cheng Yun said goodbye to Mu Guozhong reluctantly on the grounds of visiting Mu Huanyan.
Huang is also reluctant to be happy. But Huan Yan has already made a decision. She can only follow Huanyan's wishes.
Mu Huanyan changed into men's clothes. Pretending to be Mu Guozhong's entourage, he set off with Ling Ran.
That day, although Ling Ran was riding a horse. But there was still a carriage in the team in case of emergency.
Along the way, Ling Ran was still worried about Mu Huanyan, although she rode a horse well, but it was cold, for fear that she would be in a hurry.
After leaving the capital, Ling Ran asked the team to stop.
"Mu Guozhong, you and your entourage come to the carriage, I have something to say to you."
"Yes."
Mu Huanyan and Mu Guozhong got off the horse, handed over the horses to the soldiers to lead, and got into the carriage with the prince.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what's the matter?" Mu Guozhong is a real person, and he doesn't know the prince's mind at all, so he asked seriously.
"It's fine."
"Ah, it's okay?" Mu Guozhong's surprised voice was a little louder, Mu Huanyan glanced at him, and Mu Guozhong realized that he was a little rude, and quickly closed his mouth.
Ling Ran continued to be silent before Mu Huanyan looked up at him a few more times.
Exhaustion and grief were all presented in front of his eyes, Du Guanyue's death, the destruction of the Du family, and the death of Queen Du, the blow to him was not ordinary. The discomfort in his heart, Mu Huanyan knew it very well. At this time, he called Mu Guozhong and her into the carriage, but he didn't want Huan Yan to be too tired, thinking of this, Huan Yan's heart was still a little moved.
At least, he genuinely cared about her.
The carriage went all the way, and the three people sitting in the carriage did not speak, but they had their own thoughts.
After a day's journey, after nightfall, Ling Ran stopped the team and set up camp to rest.
The soldiers are all men, although Mu Huanyan is dressed as a man, it is still not very convenient to be in the team, and if he follows Mu Guozhong, he can only live in a tent with other people.
Thinking of this, Ling Ran said to Mu Guozhong: "This prince has taken a fancy to his entourage, let her follow this prince." ”
"This ......" Mu Guozhong looked at Mu Huanyan, and Huanyan nodded at him.
"It's your blessing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can take a fancy to you, and you have to wait for the Prince."
"Yes."
Mu Huanyan followed Ling Ran into his tent.
Ling Ran took off the cloak on his body and draped it on Mu Huanyan's body.
"It's cold, don't freeze, the army is out, and it is impossible to prepare a stove, you will just take a moment."
"You know I'm not the pampered lady." Mu Huanyan looked at Ling Ran stubbornly.
He finally smiled a little, and he liked to see her strong little appearance.
"Of course I know, but I also know that men should protect women and take care of women."
Ling Ran opened a box he was carrying, took out a small hand stove, lit a charcoal fire and put it inside, and handed it to Mu Huanyan.
"Take warm hands."
"Didn't you say that you can't bring a stove when you're out on the march?"
"You can't bring a big one, can't you bring a small hand stove?"
He was so careful, a little touch came to his heart again, holding the stove, and the warm feeling instantly spread from the cold hand.
"Come here, get some dry food."
Ling Ran took out the baked cake he had prepared before going out, because the weather was too cold, it had become very stiff, and when he held it in his hand, he couldn't help frowning, and tried to bite it, but he was very tooth-grinning.
"This thing can't be eaten."
"I have a way, go, go outside."
Mu Huanyan put down the hand stove, took Ling Ran's arm, walked outside the hall, and let go of him. Being so close to her, he could still smell her unique daughter's fragrance in his nose, which made him panic for a while.
Mu Huanyan saw a lot of dead branches in front of him, so he hurriedly ran over, turned his head and shouted: "You hurry up, let's pick up some dead branches, light a fire, and bake the baked cakes to eat." ”
"It's a good idea."
Picked up a bunch of dead branches, because the dead branches were wet, they didn't burn for a while, Mu Huanyan thought of a way, poured some kerosene from the kerosene lamp on the dead branches, and finally lit the fire.
"Where's the pancake?" Mu Huanyan looked at Ling Ran.
"I'll go get it in the account."
Sitting outside the tent, the fire was lit, and it was a lot warmer, Mu Huanyan put the cooking rice in front of the fire and roasted it, and soon the fragrance of the baked cake came out, and it was not easy to eat something hot when going out.
The other soldiers followed suit, but they picked up the dead branches, and came to them and set fire to them, and to burn the dry and hard cakes.
Eating baked cakes, it was inevitable that he would choke a little, Mu Huanyan found an iron box, filled a box full of snow, and put it on the fire to burn.
Ling Ran looked at her serious appearance and couldn't help but smile, where did she learn these skills to make a living? For a prince like Ling Ran, who has no worries about food and clothing, he never needs to do these things.
"It's good to have you here, and only you are so smart that you can think of such a solution."
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I believe that almost all ordinary people will do these things."
"But you're not a civilian, you're the eldest lady of the Mu family." The delicate lady of the family who has seen a lot, and Mu Huanyan's tenacity and wisdom are what attract him the most.
"The water is boiling, I'll find a cup for you."
Mu Huanyan went to the tent to find a cup and came out, scooped a glass of water for Ling Ran, who was gnawing on the cake.
Ling Ran took the cup and said, "Tomorrow, let's kneel down and cook by ourselves, isn't this bringing so much food?" Why am I so stupid that I only think of nibbling on hard pancakes, and I don't seem to have a cauldron ready? "Instantly there was a little disappointment.
"Forget it, let's keep the food for the soldiers fighting on the front line, let's make up and make up, and it's only a few days."
After eating enough, Mu Huanyan followed Ling Ran into the tent, the tent was not big, Ling Ran's conditions were the best, but he lived alone, and the other tents were all squeezed if they could. But there were only two quilts in the tent, and sleeping became a problem.
"Huan Yan, you go to sleep, I'll just lean on here."
"How can this work? This kind of boat and car is tiring, how can you have a body if you don't sleep well? ”
When he was worried, Mu Guozhong came over with a quilt, he was worried that Mu Huanyan was a daughter and it was inconvenient to be with the prince, so he took a quilt he brought with him, and went to the front line once, even if he had some experience, when the soldiers basically went out, they would bring a quilt with them.
"This is for you, I'll make do with them." Mu Guozhong handed the quilt to Mu Huanyan and withdrew.
Ling Ran snatched the quilt from Mu Huanyan's hand and said, "I'll just use this, you go and sleep there." ”
Mu Huanyan knew that even if she shirked it again, Ling Ran would not agree, so she had to go to the place where the prince should have slept and lie down.
Ling Ran just took the quilt sent by Mu Guozhong, half spread and half covered, and lay down, finally having the opportunity to get along with her so closely, he could feel that his heart was beating strongly.
The soldiers outside also gradually fell asleep, and the inside of the tent was extremely quiet, although Ling Ran closed his eyes, he still did not fall asleep.
Mu Huanyan is not the same, she can't sleep peacefully at this time.
After a long time, Mu Huanyan shouted Ling Ran, are you asleep?
She didn't even sleep? Ling Ran didn't answer her words, making Huan Yan think he was asleep.
Seeing that Ling Mo didn't react, he must have fallen asleep, Mu Huanyan sat up, walked up to him lightly with the quilt, and covered him with the quilt.
Silly girl, what a silly girl.
Mu Huanyan covered the quilt for Ling Ran before returning to where she was sleeping, she took off the cloak that Ling Ran had draped over her and covered her body.
Ling Ran quietly saw Mu Huanyan's thin body curled up with his peripheral vision, and there was a hot feeling in the corners of his eyes.
Huan Yan, in this life, my Ling Ran's heart beats only for you. (To be continued......)
