Chapter Seventy-Four: Northbound

The eleventh year of Yong'an, spring.

In the case of the abortion of the eldest princess Rongfu, the real murderer behind it was arrested, and Chu Jun asked her to behead her to show the public to comfort the peace of mind of the eldest princess Rongfu. Later, the guards escorted the eldest princess back to the house, and rewarded a hundred taels of gold to comfort the Yonghuai palace in Jiangbei to set the heart of the northern army.

When Sheng Changqiong left Shengjing, she did not forget her previous promise to Sheng Changning, and begged Sheng Changmu to let Sheng Changning go to Jiangbei with her, so that she could go to find the black flower.

Sheng Changmu only asked Sheng Changning to go to the north to stay for a while because she missed her relatives after a miscarriage, and her sister Sheng Changyu couldn't accompany her when she married far away. He felt guilty about this sister in his heart, so naturally there was no reason why he shouldn't do it.

The road from Beijing to Jiangbei is far away, most of the people are in carriages, and Sheng Changqiong's body is still weak, in order to take care of her, the carriages and horses on the road are slow.

By the time we arrived in Jiangbei, it was already five days later.

The day before leaving, Sheng Changqiong sent someone to inform Sheng Changning that the wind in the north was strong and cold, so he had to bring more skirts, velvet, and a mattress.

Sheng Changning listened to her words, and picked them all one by one, and if it was really as Sheng Changqiong took care of, the climate in the north became more and more difficult before he arrived, and the mattress on the bed was naturally used.

When the group dismounted from the carriage, it was already late, and the twilight was dark. But Sheng Changning has always been sensitive to changes in the sky, so calculated, if the sky is still bright when he is in the capital, where is the use of the palm lamp?

"Princess, watch your step." Bai Lu saw that she was distracted, and couldn't help but remind her, when she got out of the carriage just now, she was walking too quickly and almost slipped.

Sheng Changning helped her arm, and her feet were really smooth, if she didn't pay attention to falling off the carriage, her hands and feet would definitely break.

On the side, Qingliu helped Sheng Changqiong out of the carriage, and looked at Sheng Changning's cautious appearance, and said: "Duke Fengning should be careful, now that the ice edge in the north has not yet melted, it is necessary to be cautious on the flat land." ”

Sheng Changning responded to her, this time when she came to Jiangbei, she only brought Bai Lu and Lixia, two girls, and a Mo female official, she was waiting for Bai Lu beside her, and the other two should still be collecting their luggage in the carriage.

Entering the city of Jiangbei, the Yonghuai Wangfu is not far from the city gate, and the Yonghuai King, who has obtained the letter, sent someone to wait at the city gate early in the morning.

So, Sheng Changqiong took Sheng Changning out of the carriage, and before he had taken two steps, someone immediately came forward to greet him.

"The subordinates welcome the princess home."

Sheng Changning raised his eyes and saw that it was a young general who spoke, his robe was standing, and he looked quite respectful to Sheng Changqiong during the salute.

"Migaki, hurry up." Sheng Changqiong saw him, and there was an obvious look of joy on his face.

The young general called Weiyuan raised his head, and his young face was also excited, "Princess, the prince has been waiting for you for a long time, and Mrs. Xu has just sent someone to come, please go back to the house for dinner first, and the prince will leave." ”

"Mrs. Xu?"

Sheng Changqiong frowned, and the heart that had fallen to the ground because she wanted to see the prince suddenly hung high in the air again, "Who is she?" ”

Weiyuan was shocked to lose his words, and he couldn't spit out half a word.

Sheng Changning, who was following behind, also frowned slightly, Sheng Changqiong went to the capital to give birth, she had only been gone for more than a month, and this King Yonghuai had actually lifted someone again, and he had reached the position of a lady, which was inevitably too cold......

Seeing that Weiyuan refused to confess truthfully, Sheng Changqiong still didn't understand the reason for this, who could be called Mrs. by Weiyuan, except for the people in the palace, who else could invite the prince.

"This palace wants to see which fox is it!" Sheng Changqiong's eyes were cold, her still somewhat pale cheeks were tense, and Sheng Changning saw the hatred, grievance, and a trace of fragility that could not be ignored in her eyes.

Seeing the people leave violently, Sheng Changning's heart also inexplicably had an indescribable taste.

When Sheng Changqiong returned to the capital, she saw her face full of delicate happiness, even though she was struggling with her pregnant belly, but when it came to Jiangbei and her husband, there was always a look in her eyes.

Even if the child was lost and she almost died here, she endured the grief in her heart and did not immediately send the news back to the Northland.

Sheng Changning is a bystander, she can see that this person who once had a high-flying and domineering posture that is not inferior to Sheng Anle in the slightest, the reason why she put away her claws is not because she already has the person who wants to rely on her life.

The joy is all because of him, and the regrets and disappointments in the future will come more fiercely.

"But Princess Fengning? Migaki meets Her Royal Highness the Princess. Seeing her suspicious face, Weiyuan explained, "In the letter sent by the princess before, the princess was mentioned, and the prince also ordered the people to clean up the residence for you early in the morning, and you also asked this side to comeβ€”β€”"

Sheng Changning bowed slightly, as a sign of gratitude, "I'm tired." ”

Compared with the Chu Palace, the Yonghuai Palace is not large, even if it is not decorated with rockery streams, but the overall layout is exceptionally simple and atmospheric.

Sheng Changning's residence was a bit remote, but she didn't care too much, and took them to their destination, and Weiyuan retired after claiming that something was wrong.

After making their rounds around, Bai Lu and Rixia spotted a small stream at the back of the courtyard. The land of Jiangbei is mountainous, Yonghuai Wangfu is built by the mountain, this stream is naturally grown, and the end is the endless mountain stone behind.

"You can only freeze it, and you can't enjoy the beautiful scenery of the back mountain...... "Lixia sighed, quite regretful.

Sheng Changning looked at the thick layer of ice on the stream, and when she heard Lixia's words, she couldn't help but shake her head.

Although she has never been to Jiangbei, but she has heard of the customs and border scenery of this northern land, whether it is in the books, or the veterans who have been to the border pass, they all say that the four seasons of this Jiangbei land do not change very obviously, and the people here are often disturbed by the cold wind.

Especially in winter, the cold and frost are so severe that it was once called "Snow City".

The climate in Jiangbei is so harsh, but King Yonghuai has been here for nearly ten years, which is why he has a large number of troops in the palace, although Sheng Changmu is jealous, but he has not really acted against it.

It's so cold outside, although the days are in early spring, it's still like deep winter here, Sheng Changning is used to staying in the capital, and he only stopped outside this gate for a short while, and he couldn't stand it.

"Princess, let's go in quickly, beware of getting a cold." Female Officer Mo said worriedly, and she gestured with her eyes again, asking Bai Lu and them to come back quickly.

On such a cold day, if something freezes out, and now they are in someone else's house, isn't this just causing trouble.

Sheng Changning answered, and Lady Mo lifted the heavy curtain so that she could go in quickly.

The maids who heard the words of Mo Nuguan hurriedly rushed over, and the curtain embedded with velvet flowers finally hung down slightly, and the light sound shook off the broken ice edges hanging at the corners of the eaves.
