Volume I: Painting Tang Chun Chapter 72: Going to Beisu in person
The north wind blew tightly overnight, the wind whispered, the shadows of the trees floated, the Xiao Xiao outside the house was like turning over the river and the sea, Qingxi looked at the flickering flames in the hood steadily, and couldn't sleep for a long time, so she turned over and over, the sky was just bright, she got up, pushed open the window, the loneliness of this place, the wind was whirring, and she wrapped her clothes.
Moon Shadow knocked on the door: "Girl, why do you get up so early!" ”
"I didn't sleep well!" She closed the window and sat down at the dressing table.
"The girl has something on her mind, because of Your Highness?" Moon Shadow cleaned up the bed and said nonchalantly.
Since Xiao Yizheng went north, Qingxi's days in the palace have returned to before, entering the palace to ask for peace, often going back to Lingfu to see his father, occasionally traveling to Jingjinglou to listen to the news of the market, but the brothers and sisters who sang songs in the building are no longer there, and the shopkeeper said that he went back to his hometown. However, the relationship with Li Han has become closer, and the two often chat for an afternoon, and Li Han will tell her a lot of things she has seen and heard, which always makes her look envious.
It's just that no matter whether the day is busy or leisurely, she can always think of him. When eating, he will wonder if he can get used to the diet of northern millet; When I sleep, I wonder about the habit of sleeping on Beisu's bed; When he entered the palace, he wondered which part of the palace had been where he had stopped; When he goes out to wander, he wonders if he has given other gifts to women when he travels north and south; When the greenery in the house is falling and the leaves are withering, I wonder if he will also have the mood to appreciate the beauty of the fallen leaves like himself......
Although she was not quite sure whether she would willingly stay in the Hengwang Mansion and stay by his side; But she knew that he was already in her heart. But whether this heart can withstand the wear and tear of the long years, whether it can be compared to the vast freedom of the world, she can't give an answer.
The ancients said: Affection is always hurt by ruthlessness. She now thinks it's the truth, and she doesn't deceive me.
This heart was originally calm and free of waves, and the days were free, but now he was stirred up by him, and he was born with so many worries, which was really troublesome.
"Moon Shadow, isn't it a little cold today, the north wind this night?" She frowned, listening to the creak of the wind-blown windows.
"Well, it's like this in winter."
"In winter, it is even colder in the north, and the war is even more tense."
Moon Shadow turned to look at Yun Wan with a tired face: "I said I was worried about Your Highness." ”
Qingxi was silent and said, "Moon Shadow, I'll let Zhongbo and Zhao Xin come over later." ”
After running out of breakfast, Zhongbo and Zhao Xin responded to the call: "The princess has something to look for us?" ”
Qingxi said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong, you go and pack up some of Your Highness's winter cotton clothes or something." He was in a hurry, and he didn't know if he had enough now. Commander Zhao, you will go to the military department later, and let them send the clothes to Beisu with the military newspaper. She paused, and then said softly, "Bring another letter to Your Highness." Naturally, I don't feel at ease with letting other people go, so I'll bother you to make a trip. ”
"What the princess is saying, this is what her subordinates should do. Please rest assured, I will go in person, and I will definitely let the military headquarters deliver the things safely. Zhao Xin clenched his fists and took his life.
"Okay, I'll give you the letter after lunch."
"My subordinates know!" After speaking, Zhao Xin withdrew, and Zhongbo suddenly thought of something and turned back to salute: "Princess, let's let the maids press a carbon stove in the princess's house, the weather is getting colder." ”
"Uncle Zhong is really thoughtful, but I'm a little unaccustomed to the smell of charcoal, so I don't have to wait a few days."
"The princess can rest assured that the spices that drive away the smell of carbon have been prepared and will not have a peculiar smell." Uncle Zhong smiled and said: "When the prince left, he specially instructed me to take care of the princess's diet and daily life, and this spice was prepared by the prince. ”
Qingxi smiled lightly, and a warmth rose in his heart, and his heart said that it was really surprising that this person sometimes behaved, in such a short time, his shoulder was injured, and he still had the heart to order this. "Good. Do as you wish. ”
Moon Shadow studied the ink, watched her not move her pen for a long time, just stared at the white paper on this table in a daze, and reminded: "Girl, what do you want to write?" Last time, Your Highness sent a letter to your family, and you didn't reply. ”
She pursed her lips. It's not that she doesn't want to reply, it's that she doesn't know how to reply. I said I wanted to write a letter, but why couldn't I put pen to paper, what did I want to write? Write about her loss after he is gone? Write about his delay in returning, her uneasiness? Write about his danger and her worries? Could it be that her heart was delivered like this? She wasn't sure herself, so what good was it to write about it? The advice to take good care of your body, be careful of the enemy everywhere, being in the wolf smoke and beacon fire is more involuntarily, and it is useless to write this.
She remembered what his father and brother said to her when he first went to Beisu, when he returned to Lingfu, his father and brother said to her: The affairs of the northwest, whether you win or lose, Your Highness will be in a dilemma. defeated, they must bear the responsibility for defeat; Victory, and military prestige is growing, what does the prince think? The royal family is not an ordinary family, because it is not uncommon for the powerful people to fight between father and son, and fratricidal.
Father said: "Even if His Highness doesn't have this heart, he can't resist the speculation of people's hearts." Brothers, friends, brothers, brothers, brothers ”
The elder brother said: "The prince has been recuperating in the house since he returned from the Luohe disaster relief. He personally commanded the front line and fell into the Luo River, although he was rescued in time, but his body was cold, very weak, and he didn't know how long he would have to cultivate. If the prince is a general, it would be fine, but he is not. The two strong compete for each other, and only two lose. Even if they don't fight, they rarely rejoice. ”
She locked her eyebrows and sighed, and remembered that she visited Shen Tong a few days ago, I don't know if she thought too much, or because Shen Tong had been in bed for a long time to raise the baby, she always felt that her mood was not as bright as before.
Therefore, she said at the beginning: royal daughter-in-law, she would not think about it. It's good now, she can't enter or retreat.
And when my brother heard about the red silk grass in the palace before, the first thing he asked was: Is the princess okay?
She felt a pang in her heart, even if she was as open-minded and free as her brother, she couldn't say that she would let go.
Therefore, the word love is very strange and weird, and it can't be provoked. It's good now, but she can't enter or retreat.
She clutched her pen and looked blank in thought. He was so calm and relaxed when he left, what should he be like at this time? And what can you do about it? Every day in the palace, but the heart can not get a moment of peace, the pen is written with his heart.
When will I go to Chang'an hand in hand?
She looked at the two lines she had written, and somehow, her face was slightly hot, and she hurriedly crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it aside. Moon Shadow didn't dare to squeak and stood quietly.
Qingxi sighed lightly, folded up a blank piece of paper and put it on letterhead, and inscribed on it: Ah Heng.
The next night, Zhao Xin hurried back, and before he had time to rest for a while, he went directly to Chaolan Garden.
Qingxi was lying there with her eyes closed, only to hear Moon Shadow whisper, "Ruber is back!" Something seems to be going on. ”
She immediately got up, walked out of the door, and watched Zhao Xin trot through the corridor towards her. "Commander Zhao, what's going on?"
"Princess, I just went to the military department to find Lord Zuo, and I want him to send the princess's letter and clothes urgently. It just happened that Lord Zuo received an eight-hundred-mile rush from the front line, and the prince, the prince seems to be injured! ”
"What? Where did it hurt? Is it serious? ”
"The subordinates don't know. Lord Zuo received an urgent report, and left a sentence that His Royal Highness Six was injured, so he entered the palace to report. ”
"Go, prepare the car immediately, I want to enter the palace." Qingxi said that he was about to forget about leaving.
Zhao Xin was just about to get up, and the family outside came to report
"Princess, Lord Ling is here!"
Master Ling, this is what Ling Qingsong asked the people of the palace to call him like this. It's awkward, but it's easy to shout and shout.
Qingxi's eyes lit up: "Brother, quick, let my brother in!" ”
Ling Qingsong was covered in dust, and his expression was rare and solemn.
Qingxiping retreated, and only the two brothers and sisters were left in the house.
"Are you here for the sake of His Highness's injury, but what news is there?" She went straight to the point and asked anxiously.
Qing Song relieved the outside, sniffed the fragrance in the house, and said: "There is ice and cool in summer, and carbon and fragrance in winter, the palace is really a good place." He caught a glimpse of Qingxi who couldn't hide his concern, so he lowered his throat and said seriously: "I just heard about it, so I came and told me, I didn't think you already knew?" ”
"I don't know the details. Where's the injury? Is it serious? ”
Qingsong took a sip of tea: "I don't know the specific situation." I just came out of Dali Temple, and I also heard such an ear. It is like an arrow in the right shoulder. ”
"What?" She stood suddenly. "Right shoulder? How the right shoulder again! He already had a wound in his right shoulder. ”
Qing Song was frightened by her throat, choked and coughed again and again. "What's hurting? His Highness's wound in the southwest was not healed sooner. He saw that Qingxi was still standing there stunned, so he pulled her to sit down: "The specific situation, Dad will definitely know soon, don't be impatient." ”
"But he's hurt!" The moment Qingxi heard that he was injured, all that was swirling in his mind was the thought of "he was injured". Right arm, right arm, his previous right arm injury is not yet complete!
Qingsong patted her hand, "Heng'er, calm down." You look thoughtful, I really didn't expect it! ”
Qingxi had no intention of frolicking with him at this time, his eyes widened, he couldn't look at Qingsong seriously, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother! I have something to do! ”
Looking at Qingxi like this, Qingxi suddenly became nervous: "Every time you do this, you must let me do something I can't do!" ”
"Brother, I'm going to Beisuzhou!" Qingxi didn't care about explaining anything, and just when she heard that his right arm was injured, she suddenly flashed this thought, and immediately affirmed this thought: "I know it's not a trivial matter and it's not in order, so I want you to help me." ”
The tea cup in Qingsong's hand shook, the tea flowed out, and the hand that was burning him shrank. He hissed, hurriedly put down the teacup, and raised his hand to stroke Qingxi's forehead: "Aren't you scared stupid and sick?" ”
Qingxi opened his hand: "I'm going to Beisu!" She repeated in a low voice.
Qing Song's expression was serious, and he said in a low voice, "Do you know what you are going to do?" You are not the daughter of the Ling family now, you are the princess of Heng, what kind of impact will your departure cause? Besides, it's a long way to Beisu, who will take care of your safety? Why do you want to go when you know you can't do it? ”
"I have to go." Qingxi didn't know how to explain it to him, but no one could shake her decision at this moment.
"No, I can't let you go on an adventure, I can't help you!"
"Brother, he is my husband, he is the king of Dachengheng, as a wife and a concubine, I should do something, instead of waiting for empty hope! Now the only thing I can do is to go to him, otherwise I will be in peace, with fine clothes and food, and how can my heart be at peace? "Yun Wan is a puddle of autumn water, and no one can stop it." Also, he had an injury to his right arm, and he was injured because of me! How can I sit in the palace at this moment? ”
