Chapter 16: Departure

Outside the Wuxuan Gate of the Emperor of Yunmeng Kingdom, Emperor Squid waved goodbye to the princes and princesses who went to Xuesen Country with a group of ministers...... The army marched forward mightily, Lingji, Qishang, Zhang Xianjie, etc. were all sitting in the carriage, Xi Yan and Yu Shizi saw that the weather was cooler in the early morning, so they temporarily sat on the horses and chatted with each other, and the streets of the city were crowded with people watching the excitement.

Xi Yan sat on horseback in an inky fine silk suit, his white hair crown was tied high, and his peach blossom eyes were like deep pools. The corners of his lips smiled politely, looked at Xiyu and said, "I didn't know that Princess Lingji was so afraid of caterpillars when she was a child."

Xiyu mentioned Lingji, as if his eyes had the whole starry sparkle, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, habitually touched the purse on his waist, this blue brocade fabric purse is eighty percent new, the purse is embroidered with gold thread with the pattern of auspicious clouds and flying eagles, and the fine needle angle can see that the embroidery purse person has good craftsmanship. This purse was embroidered to him by Lingji on his birthday the year before, and he was happy for several days, and he never left his body every day.

Xi Yan watched him caress the blue purse tied around his waist, this style is also very common among Yunmeng's dignitaries, seeing that Xiyu seems to cherish this purse, he asked curiously: "This purse is embroidered quite chic, is it embroidered by the lady in your house?" Good craftsmanship. ”

When the prince of Xiyu heard about this purse, he shook his head and smiled: "Where is the embroidery girl in my house, it was given to me by Lingji."

Xiyu listened to a burst of boredom in her heart, and said perfunctorily and stopped talking to him, Xiyu didn't know that he was bored and talked to her about Qishang, and asked: "This time Qishang also went to Xuesen Country with us, I can see that she has a good impression of you, I don't know what you think of her?"

Xi Yan was even more unhappy when he heard him mention Qi Shang, so he held back his anger and half-jokingly said: "Yu Shizi, it was Qi Shang who asked you to come to visit me, if so, please tell her that I didn't have such a great blessing in the past, if not, I tell you, I don't have any feelings for Qi Shang, not now, and not in the future."

When Xiyu heard that he had this attitude towards Qishang, he stopped mentioning any topics about Qishang to avoid embarrassment.

This trip to Xuesen country is a long way, it takes about three months to go back and forth, now it is close to May, there is more than a month is the birthday of the empress Zhiyan, the day in May is already hot, Lingji sitting in the carriage at noon feels stuffy and panicked, she is wearing a loose chiffon cloud yarn, the ice cubes placed in the car have dissolved She has always been afraid of heat, the palace maid Jinren helped her fan the wind, the window on the carriage has been replaced with a tassel string swing curtain in the summer The carriage swayed and made a slight sound, she pointed to the window and said: "Jinren, wrap the pendulum curtain, It's good to use mesh, but it's noisy and uncomfortable. ”

Jin people quickly wrapped the tassel string curtain and replaced it with a mesh veil, Lingji picked up the mesh head and leaned out of the window, only to see that the peak of Tingmian stretched to the end, Yunmengguo and the mountain are famous, and sometimes it is boring to see the scenery on the mountain.

The sun was already hanging high in the sky, and the weather was at its hottest, and the army slowed down to find a place to eat and rest.

Yu Shizi was also sitting in the carriage at this time, and took out an ice pearl jade pot and put it in his hand to look at it carefully...... He began to find a craftsman to make this jade pot more than a month ago, this jade pot is put into water in this weather, and the ice cubes are excellent heat dissipation and heat relief, she knows that Ling Ji is most afraid of heat and it is best to give it to her!

The army stopped and camped in a flat small forest, the guards neatly set up five tents, and invited the princess and Qishang and others to rest in their respective tents, Yu Shizi got out of the carriage and walked straight to Lingji's tent, Lingji saw Xiyu in a light purple brocade dress as warm as jade walked in, she stood up a little awkwardly and asked, "I don't know what happened to Brother Shizi?"

Xiyu looked at her slightly helpless, he walked over and said gently: "What's the matter, I can't come if it's okay, why are you so nervous, I'll send you something." As he spoke, he took out the ice cup jade pot from the box, and Ling Ji took the jade pot, and a cool breath passed from the jade pot to his hand, which was indeed a good thing.

She was a little embarrassed and said to Xiyu: "Brother Xiyu, I'm really embarrassed, I'm sorry for you again, you can keep it for yourself, you have too many gifts for me, don't be so polite."

Xiyu smiled dotingly: "It's almost a family, and you're so polite, mine is yours, who will I give it to you if I don't give it to you?" ”

Lingji smiled bitterly in her heart, she felt that everything had changed, since she was sensible and knew that marriage meant being together forever, she felt very entangled, she had always regarded her as a brother, and she didn't know if she could treat him as a husband for the rest of her life. Every time she saw him, she felt an inexplicable pressure, and she was a little out of breath.

Xi Yan saw Yu Shizi walk into Lingji's tent from a distance, he laughed self-deprecatingly and entered his tent, there is one thing in the world that is the most precious thing, that is, people's sincerity, if she can really be happy, he is willing to let go.

Qishang just got off the carriage here, and when he saw Yu Shizi going straight to Lingji's carriage, he was really envious, jealous and hateful in his heart, how good would it be for her if Xi Yan could do this, and she talked to him several times after walking with Xi Yan for a day, this Xi Yan just ignored her.

Nanyan Kingdom, Emperor Jing has received a letter from Chunliu, the letter says, "The little girl asks her father, emperor and mother to Jin'an, I am not filial piety and privately pesters Uncle Wang to leave the South Flame Kingdom, and now the little Uncle Wang is sick, and the daughter has sent him to the mansion of the Prince of Lisheng in the Snow Forest Country for treatment, but the daughter is entangled and exhausted and owes a number of medical fees to the son, and the son said that if he does not repay the silver, the daughter will pay off the debt for the maid in his mansion, so what is the prestige of the princess of the South Flame Country and the South Flame Country, please send someone to answer the ......

Emperor Jing couldn't cry or laugh when he saw Chunliu's letter, this kid is suffering now and knows that he has come to ask for help, the letter is so sincere, every sentence says that it is for the reputation of the Southern Flame Country, and there is usually a little bit of consciousness as the reputation of the princess of the Southern Flame Country, if you live a chic life outside, it is estimated that you can't find her shadow! Anyway, he has already issued a holy decree, so that she must not be soft-hearted after training, and she will not be able to beg her grandfather to sue her grandmother.

Uncle Wang Huayu has been in good health for more than half a month, in order to bear this debt together, he volunteered to be a servant, saying that while waiting for the people of Nanyan Country to respond, he repaid the debt here, and said that he didn't want to stay in the inn here and had three meals a day, and the best way to have no money on his body was to wait for news here.

After a few days, Uncle Huayu Xiao Wang was tired from work, and felt that being a servant was too tiring and the monthly salary was so little, so he asked for resignation from the prince and said that he would be allowed to take a day off to go outside to find a job to earn money, but the next day he found a shopkeeper in the rich businessman Li's house, three taels of silver a month, thinking that it was still far away from this one hundred and seventy taels, Lingji sighed again.

At night, Yunmengguo's envoy brigade was stationed in the Yuelai Inn, Lingji lived in the room of Tianzihao, and Qishang lived next door to her, which had just been washed, Qishang came to her room rarely, she coldly watched Qishang wearing a gold-silk spinning skirt like fire, holding a feather fan in his right hand and fanning leisurely, sitting on the table in the room by himself, very impolite left hand 'knock, knock' knock on the table, slender eyes squinted at her and looked at her a few times.

She said indifferently: "Excuse me, what is the matter with coming to me so late, if not, I will rest." ”

Qishang withdrew his hand from the table and said arrogantly: "I just came to see you, you have been training with Xi Yan in the 'Feather Wing Mountain' for half a year before, do you know his temperament and preferences."

Ling Ji smiled lowly and sneered: "You also have today, your attitude of asking people is like this, you think I will tell you." ”

Qishang didn't laugh angrily, and said firmly: "My good sister, you will tell me, you forgot!" ”

Saying that, she stretched out her arm, and a clear rose appeared in front of her eyes on her arm, and after a short silence, Lingji said calmly: "I only tell you what I know, Xi Yan likes to eat bitter lotus seeds, likes hibiscus flowers, he is cold on the surface and kind in his heart, and he eats soft but not hard." ”

Qishang knew the news she wanted, and said proudly as he walked: "It seems that you still remember, I thought you forgot, you have to remember that you owe me all your life." ”

Lingji was silent until Qishang left, she sat on the bed, Jinren poured a cup of tea and handed it to her and said: "Princess, you don't need to worry, what you owe her has already been paid off, if it weren't for your forbearance, she would be so arrogant and so good!" ”

Lingji waved her hand and said, "Don't say it, as long as it's not too much, try to accommodate her, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring......"
