Chapter 25: Return to Jinling (15)
Xinyue had heard rumors about herself in the outside world, saying that she was weak, wooden, and could not be liked by her husband. She has never heard a word of these beautiful and noble and generous. I couldn't help laughing, "There are still such rumors." ”
"I received a message from Mrs. earlier, saying that I would arrive today, and I also heard Mrs. talk about Miss Yao's dowry, and asked Mrs. to come to the Jin Palace, waiting for news, the prince went to Liangzhou yesterday, and should be back in the evening."
Liangzhou is the closest city-state to Liang, there are still thirty miles outside the city, in fact, it is the place where Liang is controlled, because of a water separation, and the state is not close to Liang at all, if you don't take the waterway, it will take more than ten days to arrive on the land road, which is farther than the eastern capital where the king of Yu is located.
So this is also the beginning, no one doubts that Rong Ying will collude with Liang Guo.
But in this way, if you take the land from Jijing, the capital of the Liang Kingdom, to the source of the Changhe River in the border of the Great Holy Kingdom, and then take a boat from the source of the Yuan State such as the crescent moon, but it is not the kind of big boat, but the kind of small raft, the shed boat, day and night to take a boat for two days, and the waterway together takes a total of five days, you can reach the state in the hinterland of the Great Holy from Jijing of the Liang State.
This is the conclusion that Xinyue came to after personally comparing the maps of the Great Sage and the Liang Kingdom.
For this reason, he also consulted Rong Xu, who was very good at fighting with Liang Guo, although the crescent moon was secretive, Rong Xu still understood it, and nodded and said that it was indeed the case.
Unlike what Rong Xu thought, the people who would take this road were too studying, and there was no big road on this road, so it would not be possible to pass the army at all, so it would not become a hidden danger, Xinyue felt that such a road, why should there be too many heavy troops, just pass on the news, and spy is enough. But in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a weak woman, who would listen to herself say such things.
Jiang Shi saw that Xinyue was distracted, and he didn't know how to interject for a while, but waiting here, it was indeed a bit eye-catching, and Feng'er was behind, and pulled Xinyue's sleeve, "Madam, Princess Jin is talking to you." ”
Xinyue came back to her senses, a little flustered, and apologized to Princess Jin, "Really, it's really rude." Saying that, Xinyue bowed to the Jiang family, "It's the concubine's disgrace." ”
"Madame, you don't have to be polite, let's stand on the tuyere on this snowy day, it's not suitable, hurry up and go home with me." After Jiang finished speaking, Xinyue glanced at her towering belly, and the snow around her that was as thick as the soles of her shoes, it was really not suitable to stand here, "Please also ask the princess's coachman to wait a little for the concubine, and let the concubine's carriage follow behind." ”
"Okay" Saying that, Jiang turned around and got into his carriage, and Xinyue also returned to the carriage where he was originally sitting, and went to the palace of King Jin together.
Sitting in the car, Xinyue stretched out his feet that had been frozen without any intuition, and he was in a hurry just now, and he got out of the car without wearing hair, how can this state be colder than the eastern capital.
Seeing this, Feng'er immediately knelt in front of Xinyue, took off her shoes, and covered Xinyue's feet with a leather wrapped in a stove, "This Jin princess is not at all different from the rumors. ”
Xinyue felt that her feet were warmed up, and her whole body slowly warmed up, and she heard Feng'er say this, and then smiled, "It's the same as the wound on my forehead, how can I show it to outsiders easily." She is indeed sick, the whole person looks very good, but the limbs are slender, there is no strength, you see she just got into the car, two servants supported her, she was a little difficult. ”
"Isn't it because she's heavy?" Fei'er poured a cup of hot tea for Crescent Moon, who drank it slowly and nodded, "It could be so." ”
Before the cup of tea was finished, Xinyue felt that the carriage had stopped, looking at her untidy shoes and socks, not only the two maids, but Xinyue was a little panicked, "This, this is here?" ”
"Quick, madam, put on your shoes and socks." Saying that, Fei'er and Feng'er were on one side, hurriedly tied the new moon's garter belt, and tidied up the cushion of the sole for her. ”
"Mama, please wait a minute" Feng'er finally put on Xinyue's shoes, but found that her trouser legs were a little messy, and she needed to bring her garter belt to be reorganized. Xinyue looked at the two of them at a loss, and laughed, "You two, what are you panicking about." ”
"Princess Jin is already waiting outside, madam, you are really fat, when did this calf become so thick. also said that Miss Yao is fat in the New Year, and you can't get any better, lying on the couch all day long, who are you fat, you are harder. "Feng'er is going crazy, and she can't tie the crescent moon's garters.
Fei'er stretched out her hand from the other side, she had already put on shoes and socks for the new moon, and tied the socks that Feng'er had arranged in two clicks, "Look, look, where is this Mrs. fat, it is Sister Feng'er, your fingers are so cold that your fingers are not flexible, but next time you will make garters for Madame, you have to make longer garters." ”
Xinyue watched the two girls sing and harmonize, and took her shoes and put them on her feet, "I really am, my face has been thrown to Bingzhou, Mama Wang hasn't come over yet, you two girls are loose, don't go down quickly." ”
"I, the two of us are eating, eating drunk... Jin, Princess Jin, when are you waiting here. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Princess Jin standing by the side of the carriage, smiling, and a group of smiling grandmothers and maids behind her.
"It really made the princess laugh." The lilac dress on Xinyue's body fell, covering her uppers, and slowly got down from the carriage, Princess Jin stretched out her hand and wanted to support Xinyue, Xinyue had already stood firm, but she still reached out to help her to show affection.
When Xinyue touched Princess Jin's hand, she was even more sure that Princess Jin was sick, and her hand was really as cold as snow on the road, "Thank you Princess"
"Come" Princess Jiang of Jin took Xinyue's hand, and the two of them entered the palace of King Jin by coercion.
The palace of the king of Jin was built on the first street that just entered the city gate in the state of Bingzhou, in terms of appearance and form, it is the same as the palace of the king of Yu in the eastern capital, it is all black walls and green tiles, and it is very solemn as a royal family.
Where the two of them are now, at the side door of the palace, Xinyue knows that she naturally doesn't have this courtesy, so let this Jin Wangfu open the middle door to greet her, and the side door is already good.
Entering from the door, the crescent moon stopped in front of the wall behind the side door, the wall on three sides, only the wall in the middle, there is a beautiful eight-treasure relief, although it has not yet entered this courtyard, but the pattern on the wall is really not in harmony with the whole courtyard.
"This is when the prince and I got married, my father rewarded it, because the wall of the vestibule had already been erected, and the prince also specially invited the decree to stand here." Seeing that Xinyue had stopped, Jiang also stood beside her and explained to him carefully.
"I see, the concubine thinks this wall is unusual." In this way, the crescent moon will no longer stay, and continue to move forward.
Bypassing the wall, there is only one road leading to the backyard, straight, not like the mood of the new moon at this time, a hundred turns and a thousand times.
