Imperial Doctor Zhang arched his hand and said: "Lord, the mission of the humble duty has been completed, the official affairs of the hospital are busy, the emperor and the queen are inseparable from the humble duty at all times, and the humble duty will leave for Beijing tomorrow, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Lu Jinping pondered for a moment and said: "I here, the matter with the princess, there is no conclusion, and the final result has not been discussed, and I have to wait for the news of the Turkic Khan, so I can't go back to the capital for a while, you can go back first, bring me a letter back to His Royal Highness the Prince, and report to him the progress of the peace between the two sides." ”

At that moment, Lu Jinping personally wrote a letter, briefly told the matter, and said the next step, and proposed to the prince to send officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Forest Army escort team to Lingzhou Mansion with generous gifts, once the Khan agreed to make peace, he immediately set off to the Turks to propose marriage in person, and completed this big matter of making peace with the ambassador.

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Lu Jinping got up and immediately rushed to the backyard of the Thorn Shi's house with Xiaoxiao.

Although he slept for less than two hours that night, Lu Jinping did not feel sleepy, and he didn't know if it was because of the result of his previous adventures, or because he was in good spirits on happy occasions.

Humming a little song, he stepped through the thick snow and walked to the backyard. He didn't let Xiaoxiao follow, and he didn't take anyone with him, he went alone, he wanted to meet Princess Siyun, and it didn't seem good to have others on his side.

There was no snow this night, and some of the snow on the ground had formed dark ice under the action of gravity, and some were slippery, so Lu Jinping was still more careful when he walked and avoided these frozen places.

Looking at the fluffy snowflakes on the trees, his mood also bloomed like snowflakes. He believed that the Turkic Khan, who had been unable to fight the Tang Dynasty for many years, should accept this proposal, and if he could bring this Turkic princess back as a princess, he would get a beautiful woman like a flower, and second, the war between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty would be stopped, and the people would be able to live a healthy life. Then everyone will be happy.

Walking across the frozen lake, I saw the chessboard left on the lake where two people played chess last night. The huge chessboard is circled and forked, symbolizing that it is like two butterflies hovering on the ice, remembering the beautiful scenery last night and the refreshing body of Princess Siyun in her arms, exhaling like an orchid's body fragrance and delicate figure, especially the delicate and beautiful face like a carving. Lu Jinping couldn't help but start jumping up in his heart.

In front of the courtyard, the two female guards bowed down and saluted, with a smile on their faces, and Lu Jinping asked, "Did Her Royal Highness the Princess sleep well last night?" ”

The two female guards glanced at each other, their faces embarrassed. This made Lu Jinping chuckle in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" If you have something to say, you don't have to hide it. ”

The female guard hesitated for a moment before lowering her voice and said, "The princess doesn't seem to be in a good mood, she has been playing the violin last night, and her voice is whimpering and resentful. It didn't stop until the prince came. ”

"So she didn't sleep all night?"

The two guards nodded slowly and looked at Lu Jinping with sympathetic eyes. To speculate on the girl's mind, it is really enough for this prince.

Lu Jinping had some doubts in his heart, thinking carefully about his words and deeds last night, he didn't feel that there was anything to offend her, the two were very happy playing against each other before, why did they become so sad after going back?

Lu Jinping thought for a moment and couldn't understand, so he asked again: "Then is the princess asleep now?" ”

The female guard nodded and said, "I just fell asleep, or the prince will come back later." ”

The corners of Lu Jinping's mouth showed a wry smile that could not be concealed. Nodding his head, he didn't speak. Turning around with his hands behind his back, he walked back with square steps, stepping on the creaking snow, and just turned the corner door to leave the sight of the female guard, he was deflated, and walked back with his face down.

this day. Cao Tingshi saw that Lu Jinping was hanging on his face, and he seemed to be in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to talk to him more, leaving him alone to think about his thoughts.

Lu Jinping finally got into the evening, and estimated that Princess Siyun should have gotten up. Only then did I walk quickly to the small courtyard in the backyard with hope.

However, the answers of the two female guards disappointed him. - The female guard told Lu Jinping that Princess Siyun was still sleeping, she hadn't gotten up, and she hadn't eaten for a day, and the food she had brought in was still on the table as it was, and she hadn't even touched it.

The female guard had asked her if she was uncomfortable, but Princess Siyun just said that she wanted to sleep and that people should not disturb her, no matter who it was.

In the end, no matter who it was, he didn't let him bother, which made Lu Jinping feel that his heart was full of feelings. Obviously, this sentence is aimed at herself, Princess Siyun doesn't even want to see herself, so was the warm scene last night in a dream?

Lu Jinping had no choice but to return to his residence depressed. Even for dinner, he said that he had no appetite and didn't want to eat

Xiaoxiao didn't deliberately talk to Lu Jinping this day, and thought he was thinking about something in his heart? But until now, seeing that he was still unhappy, and he hadn't even eaten dinner, he became a little uneasy. So he went to his bedroom and closed the door.

Lu Jinping was lying on the bed, his hands on the back of his head, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't even notice Xiaoxiao coming in.

Xiaoxiao came to the edge of the bed and sat down, looking at him, Lu Jinping woke up like a dream, quickly got up and sat up, and said with a forced smile: "Are you here?" ”

"Come and see what's wrong with you? What's wrong? So preoccupied. ”

Lu Jinping really can't tell Xiaoxiao what is in his heart, because this is about another woman, if Xiaoxiao knows that she is losing her mind because another woman ignores her, then Xiaoxiao will be sad. She is also her own woman.

Lu Jinping put his arms around her and fell on the bed, buried his head in her shoulder, and said: "It's nothing, it's just a little tired, and the terrible case of inexplicable overnight aging can't find the root cause before, and I'm worried that there will be a new terrible case like this, so I feel uneasy." ”

Lu Jinping said very sincerely, Xiaoxiao was originally a simple girl with no heart, so of course she believed it. So, holding his head in his arms, he said softly: "You have worked hard enough these days, don't force yourself too much, after all, there is still a hospital." If you can manage such a thing as curing a disease, you can't manage it, so you can't help it, and don't think about it. ”

Lu Jinping nodded in his arms, slowly slid his hand on her slender waist and stroked it gently, and whispered, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

"And say I'm not worried, can I not worry about you like this?" Xiaoxiao stroked Lu Jinping's handsome face carved like white jade with her hand, "You haven't eaten dinner, or I'll accompany you to the streets and find a local snack to appetize, how about it?" ”

Lu Jinping actually didn't have any intention of going to the street, but when he heard Xiaoxiao say that he was concerned, he couldn't bear to brush off her kindness, which made her even more worried, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I've been here these days, and I haven't been on the street yet." ”

So Lu Jinping got up and beat his spirits, and followed Xiaoxiao out of the courtyard gate and went to the street. Ye Qingqing was going to follow, but Xiaoxiao waved at him, so Ye Qingqing stopped his pace in a funny way.

Because she knew that Xiaoxiao's martial arts were much higher than herself, enough to maintain Lu Jinping's safety, and the two seemed to be already a couple, Ye Qingqing just had a feeling for this, but she believed that she felt very accurate.

Lingzhou Mansion is located in Biansai, and although it is an important town, it is much smaller and more modest than the Jiangnan metropolis. It's just that here you can see people of all ethnic groups from all over the northern Xinjiang, including Khitans, Turks, Uighurs and Tibetans. Do business here, live here, or migrate here.

Therefore, there are all kinds of food on the street, not only all kinds of delicacies of the Tang Dynasty, but also food culture from various ethnic groups, of course, they are mainly meat-based, but the cooking methods are different, but they are also similar.

Lu Jinping has no appetite now, he doesn't want to eat these things that are too greasy, he just wants to drink a bowl of gruel to fill his stomach, accompany Xiaoxiao to go shopping and then go back to sleep, he is really not in the mood to go shopping.

After turning around for a long time, I finally found a snack shop, and the gnocchi soup in it looked a little appetizing, so I asked for two bowls, and the two of them ate silently.

Xiaoxiao doesn't coax people to be happy, so Lu Jinping didn't speak, so she didn't say anything, just accompanied silently.

After Lu Jinping finished eating, he paid the bill, and when he stepped out, a gust of wind and sand rolled over, kicking up the dust on the dirt road, sprinkling it, and the street suddenly fell into darkness.

After Lu Jinping arrived in Lingzhou, he was already accustomed to the wind and sand here, so he simply didn't even have the idea of turning around to avoid the wind, but just stood up in the wind with his hands behind his back, letting the yellow sand blow in his face, making his clothes and clothes hunting.

After the wind and sand passed, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh when she saw Lu Jinping's appearance, because Lu Jinping's hair and shoulders were covered with fine sand, even on his eyebrows. It's just that in this way, his face, which originally looked a little too delicate and handsome, has a little more vicissitudes, and he looks more masculine.

Xiaoxiao originally wanted to use her sleeves to help her brush off the dust on her body, but when she saw Lu Jinping walking forward casually, she didn't care about the dust on her body at all.

From time to time, there is still wind and sand, and although the robe Lu Jinping wears is gorgeous, it cannot resist the wind and sand. And Xiaoxiao was dressed in white but was not stained with dust, but the wind and sand fell on her shoulders but could not stick, so she was bounced away, so she did not have any dust on her body, and she was still not stained with dust, beautiful and dazzling.

Fortunately, before coming out, Xiaoxiao knew that her appearance was easy to attract attention, in order to avoid shocking the world and affecting Lu Jinping's pastime and fun, she wore a veil, although her fiery figure still attracted some people's warm eyes, but in comparison, there was less trouble.

In the distance is the yamen, and further back to the mansion of the big family. Xiaoxiao sighed secretly in her heart, she wanted to take Lu Jinping out for recreation, but judging from the situation after swimming this lap, Lu Jinping's heart knot still hasn't been untied, and Xiaoxiao has no choice.
