Chu Junlan was amused by Xiao Xu's nervous and remorseful expression, and rubbed his hands on the brass hand warmer: "It's not that I want to ride a horse day and night, you have arranged so many guards along the way, and I take a carriage, where can I get cold?" ”

This matter had nothing to do with Xiao Xu in the first place, but because of the weather, Xiao Xu couldn't imagine that Xiao Xu would have to take care of this kind of thing.

Xiao Xu pursed his lips, ignoring the surprise of everyone on the side, jumped into the carriage lightly, and hugged Chu Junlan with his outstretched arms.

"After thinking about it, I'm a little worried about letting you go to Huaijing first. The emperor wants to move the capital, involving interests, the situation is turbulent, I am afraid that you will have something, or you don't leave first, wait for me for a few days, let's go together. ”

Chu Junlan couldn't cry or laugh: "Don't make trouble, the itinerary has been decided, and everyone is ready, where is the reason to regret it now?" Don't worry, I'm not going to break into the tiger's den in Longtan, so there will be no danger, no matter how bad it is, there is still the prince in Huaijing, his old man will not wait to see me, and he will not see me lose my life, don't you say? ”

Xiao Xu twisted his eyebrows and nodded for a while: "It's all my bad idea." ”

Chu Junlan smiled and dropped a kiss on his mouth: "You, don't be so nervous and scare yourself." ”

Xiao Xu sighed lightly, his handsome face looked more and more white as jade in the not very bright light in the carriage, and his long eyebrows were twisted.

"You are so good that you take care of your body, just send me a letter if you have an accident, and I will help you do it. Your own safety is the most important thing," Xiao Xu's voice became more and more gentle, and finally coaxed a child, "Be good, don't worry me." ”

Chu Junlan pinched Xiao Xu's cheek, and his voice was soft and with a teasing smile: "Obey, my prince." ”

Xiao Xu nodded and got out of the carriage instead.

Outside the carriage, Zi Yuan, Zi Yan, and Ming'er all lowered their eyebrows, just staring at the tips of their shoes, with an expression of "Oh, the embroidery on the shoes is so exquisite".

Chu Junlan lifted the curtains and pushed open the wooden car window, Xiao Xu also turned his head as if he had a heart, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"I'll rush over to what I'm doing."

"Okay, you also pay attention carefully, remember to continue to use the recuperation recipe I left for you." Chu Junlan asked with a smile.

The two looked at each other, their eyes were full of affection, Chu Junlan felt that if he looked at Xiao Xu for a while, he was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave, so he simply closed the car window and ordered: "Let's go." ”

"Yes." Huo Yeqing, who was escorting him, turned over and got on the horse with the rest of the guards.

Zi Yuan got into Chu Junlan's carriage, and Zi Yan and Ming'er got into the back of a black painted oil-walled car with luggage.

The carriage moved slowly, the wheels creaking against the ground, and the team disappeared from sight in a short time. Xiao Xu stood on the side of the road and couldn't help but chase two steps, until he couldn't see the figure of Chu Junlan and his party at all, and then turned back to the house.

From the capital to Huaijing, it takes a month to take a car. Chu Junlan and his entourage were not in a hurry, but fortunately, the journey was quite smooth.

By the end of the winter month, Chu Junlan and his party had approached Huaijing City. Different from the rice field I saw when I came last time, now the season is gone, the field is empty, the Huaijing city wall stands majestically on the vast field, and the low mountain behind it is now also glowing with dark green color.

"The princess, Huaijing is ahead." Huo Yeqing shook the reins and turned the horse's head closer to the carriage.

Chu Junlan lifted the warm curtain and looked in the direction of Huaijing: "Do you know where the mansion purchased by the prince is?" ”

"Back to the princess, when you come, the prince has already explained, and the palace is on Xifengyuan Street in the northwest of the city."

Chu Junlan nodded with a smile and said, "In this case, let's go back to the palace to settle down first." ”

Chu Junlan and his entourage showed the way at the city gate, and then went straight to the city gate unimpeded.

Huaijing can be selected by Emperor Jinghong, become the destination of moving the capital, its prosperity and wealth can be imagined, although it is not as large as the capital, but the prosperity is comparable to the capital.

For example, if the land is measured in the north of the city, and the "palace" is built from north to south, there are more craftsmen and merchants coming and going, and the whole city is full of new vitality, and there is no sense of depression in winter.

The carriage went straight to Xifengyuan Street, and from a distance, it could be seen that there were fewer pedestrians here than Fang Cai.

Zi Yuan, Zi Yan and Ming'er brought a black lacquered wooden stool for stepping feet and served Chu Junlan to get out of the car. Huo Yeqing went to knock on the door.

But after two slams, there was a lazy voice from the door: "Coming, coming, who?" ”

With a creak, the corner door of the vermilion lacquer gate was pushed open, and an old man about fifty years old, wearing a dark green jacket and a gray beard, walked out, and was a burly and tall man in front of him, frowning and saying, "Who is making noise here?" ”

As the saying goes, "the prime minister's door is a three-grade official", Huo Yeqing knew that these men in Su Rili would seek some benefits through the power of the main family, and he felt that this person regarded him as a visitor, and he was going to eat a fortune?

Huo Yeqing lowered his face and said, "The princess has arrived, and she still hasn't spread it inside?" ”

"Huh?" The old man was surprised, stretched his neck on the bridge, and saw three maidservants dressed in red and green supporting a fairy-like woman walking here.

"Oh, it's a small negligence, I've seen the princess." The old man saluted, and hurriedly instructed inside, "Open the door quickly, prepare your shoulders, the princess has arrived." ”

Immediately, there were small servants in the door who opened the door and opened the door.

Chu Junlan stood in front of the mansion, smiled and accepted everyone's salutes, and then asked, "Is there a steward in the palace now?" ”

"The princess of the Hui world, the villain Maoquan, is the housekeeper." A tall man of no doubt, who was not confused, saluted respectfully.

Chu Junlan nodded with a smile and waved everyone to retreat, leaving only Mao Quan to follow him.

Huo Yeqing and Zi Yan left Zhang Luo to carry out the salute, and Chu Junlan took Zi Yuan and Ming'er into the palace under the escort of the accompanying guards.

Prince Gong's Mansion is built according to the regulations, it is a courtyard with four entrances and four exits, the style of construction is different from the rough atmosphere of the palace of the capital, here the carved gallery and painting building, the pavilions and pavilions are all exquisite, the northwest corner leads water into the house, the willows on both sides of the bank are still in accordance with each other, although it is not in the season of spring flowers now, but the chrysanthemums in the garden are just right.

Chu Junlan walked ahead, looking at the surrounding scenery, and said, "Lead the way for me first, I'll go and say hello to the two princesses first." ”

When Mao Quan heard this, he immediately said respectfully: "The princess doesn't know anything, and now the masters of the house are not at home." ”

Not at home?

Chu Junlan was suspicious, stopped and asked, "Oh? Princess, where did they go? ”

Mao Quan said: "Back to the princess, about a month ago, the two princesses, sons, and girls just arrived in Huaijing, and as soon as they entered the mansion and put down their luggage, the king of Huai'an ordered someone to invite them as guests, and they have not come back yet." ”
