Chapter 37 Ask Lang Hua to be a good concubine
The rain stopped at noon on the fourth day, and there was no news in Beijing, so Lu Xiuyi immediately decided to register everything and leave it behind, and put people to guard it, while the others traveled lightly and waited for the people in Beijing to come and bring it back.
After walking slowly for four or five miles, Lu Xiuyi ordered to reorganize and rest. He rested for twenty miles, and considering that there were three women, he took a break after five miles. Each team counted the number of people, sat down to drink a little water and change clothes, and a small group of people explored the way in front.
The princess's safety is of paramount importance, so she would rather walk slowly.
The mountain road is rugged, muddy and difficult to walk, Lingbi and the two palace maids have been in the boudoir for a long time, and it is difficult to walk step by step. Song Jindao might as well weave a rattan trellis for the princess to sit and walk, Lingbi immediately retorted, "The road is so difficult, you are responsible for falling into the palace?" Song Jin immediately shut up.
Lingbi said, "Lord Lu, I have to trouble you to carry me." Lu Xiuyi had already figured out Lingbi's temperament, so he didn't say much, and bent down to let her come up. Xindao only cared about climbing yesterday, and today I realized that she was so light, not as heavy as the gun, so her feet sank steadily, no slower than walking alone just now.
Lingbi rested his head on his shoulder, Lu Xiuyi was startled, his steps were weak, and he walked slower.
The road back to Beijing is long, and he hopes that this mountain road will be farther.
I'm afraid that there will be no chance in the future.
Lingbi's breath was in his ears, and it tickled his heart. He heard her say softly, "Lord Lu, am I sinking?" ”
"Your Highness is weak, you have to add more meals when you go back."
Lingbi sneered, "If you're fat, you won't look good, and no one will like it." ”
"Your Highness is naturally beautiful, even if you are fat, you have a unique charm."
Lingbi smiled, "Then Lord Lu likes fat or thin?" ”
Lu Xiuyi paused, "If it's a woman you like, it doesn't matter if you're fat or thin." Your Highness, what kind of man do you like? He asked.
Lingbi leaned on his ear and sighed, "You're like this." ”
Lu Xiuyi walked steadily, but did not answer her. Lingbi waited for a long time, and when he saw that he didn't react, he sighed, "It's boring." ”
Lu Xiuyi is still on the road steadily.
She stretched out her hand and folded the soft branch to play with in her hand, her heart was playful, and she gently teased him in the face, Lu Xiuyi said, "Does Your Highness want the minister to fall, or do you want the minister to drop His Highness?" ”
"You dare to throw me and try it?"
Lu Xiuyi let go.
Lingbi was startled and hurriedly hugged his neck. But seeing a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, knowing that he was being teased by him, Lingbi was angry, and held back for a long time, "Lu Xiuyi, you are so bold." He deceived the main palace. ”
"The minister deceived His Highness for some reason."
"You know it in your own heart." She didn't speak again, only leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes to take a nap, but she couldn't hold back a smile.
Lingbi fell asleep on his back, Lu Xiuyi was afraid of waking her up, so he put it down gently, not wanting Lingbi to wake up, he opened his eyes and saw him, his eyes were bright.
"Disturb Your Highness's rest. The troops are resting, His Highness was bumpy just now, and now he can sleep well. ”
Cai Yin Caiwei came to serve, Lingbi waved her hand, stretched her waist, supported her head on her knees, and looked at Lu Xiuyi and smiled, "I'm not bumpy." The journey was very peaceful. Thank you, Lord Lu. Lord Lu sat down to rest. ”
Lu Xiuyi also felt a little tired, walked away a few steps, and sat down not far from her to rest.
Cai Yin brought water, "Your Highness, drink some water to moisten." Lingbi's chin pointed lightly at Lu Xiuyi, "Please Lord Lu drink first." ”
Lu Xiuyi pointed to Song Jin's hand, there is water in the road, and His Royal Highness is at his own convenience.
Lingbi took it, took a sip, shook the kettle, half serious and half laughing, "Lord Lu, this pot of water is rewarded by the palace, do you drink it or not?" ”
Cai Wei turned her face away and held back a smile, peeking at Lu Xiuyi's reaction, Lu Xiuyi's face was a little hot, since he grew up, he should be embarrassed for the second time.
The first time was when Xie Weiyi said in front of Uncle Xie that he wanted to marry him, so he would not marry Xiao Hangzhi. Uncle Xie blew his beard angrily and glared, and Aunt Xie hurriedly pulled her daughter to the backyard.
Lingbi was still looking at him with a smile, and Lu Xiuyi instructed Song Jin, who had an upright face on the side, "Go and get a bowl and give me some water from His Highness." ”
Lingbi didn't give up, "If it is poured into the bowl, it will not be the pot of water in the palace." This palace does not allow it. ”
"Your Highness is a little willful."
"You just know."
Lu Xiuyi had no choice but to take it, reversed the place where Lingbi's lips and teeth met, and took a slight sip.
Cai Yin smiled, "Lord Lu, is this water sweet?" ”
Cai Wei also smiled, "Don't make fun of Lord Lu. You can see his ears are red. ”
Song Jin actually leaned over to take a look, and saw Lu Xiuyi glaring at him, sitting busily and ignoring his ears, his eyes still glancing at him.
"If Lord Lu doesn't finish drinking, he will live up to the heart of this palace."
Lu Xiuyi was helpless, the kettle was small, and it looked like four or five cups of tea, he thought while drinking, it is true that this water is sweet. After taking the last sip, he handed the kettle to Cai Wei, "Thank you." ”
Cai Wei hurriedly said, "Your Excellency is polite. He lowered his head, didn't look in the direction of Lingbi, and picked the conversation to talk to Song Jin. Song Jin's family is in Changzhou, his father is the secretary of the county magistrate, and he has been in the Northern Army of Dingzhou after enlistment. Although Song Jin is a child, he is also rigorous in his work, but he has not yet gotten rid of the young man's heart, and since he returned to Beijing, he has been good at shopping, and he has met a group of gentlemen, and he is idle all day long.
Song Jin said, "The general still remembers that time when we pursued the Northern Dynasty Xizuo, there was a woman in it, but she looked so beautiful, and she was a little similar to Miss Caiwei." ”
Lu Xiuyi recalled, "It is indeed a little similar, but the women of the Northern Dynasty are so brave, and the fine work has its own heroic spirit." ”
Cai Wei was curious, "My family has lived in the capital for generations, and all adult women are palace maids, and men enter the temple to sprinkle and sweep. It's amazing that the woman is similar to me. I'd love to see it. What happened to Lord Lu later? Torture to extract confessions? Killed? ”
"This kind of meticulous work is even twenty tortures, and I can't ask half a word. When I first caught it, it was also a strict trial, and as soon as I was punished, they bit the poison in their mouths, and they broke I don't know how much. Later, of course, it was released. ”
"Put? So they didn't leak information when they went back? ”
Song Jin smiled, "The girl doesn't know anything, there are a lot of such meticulous works, and there are also those sent to other countries in my dynasty." Letting them go is also exchanging people for people. ”
Cai Wei nodded, "I see. It's a shame to kill it. ”
"The girl also pities the jade." Song Jin said with a smile.
"It's not that I pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. There are many hardships in the daughter's family, and they don't know how much they have suffered, so it's good to have a way out. Lord Lu won't cripple them before letting them go, right? ”
Song Jin smiled, "How can a general be so brutal." ”
After not hearing Lingbi speak for a long time, Lu Xiuyi couldn't help but look back, but saw Lingbi tiptoeing to pick the yellow wildflowers that bloomed on his head. Lingbi is also tall among women, and she is still out of reach with half an arm, Lu Xiuyi got up, gently raised his hand to lower the flower branch, and let her break off the most luxuriant branch by herself. Lingbi enjoyed playing for a long time, and the flower branch was veneered, and asked him, "Lord Lu, am I good-looking or are the flowers good-looking?" ”
Lu Xiuyi turned his face away, "It's all very good-looking." ”
Cai Yin smiled, "Lord Lu is real. His Royal Highness wants you to praise her for her good looks, but you say that she is all good-looking, and His Highness is very unhappy. ”
Sure enough, Lingbi snorted, sat down and picked two half-opened flowers and Cai Wei Cai Yin hairpin, the three of them played and made trouble, he hung there, he didn't sit, he didn't stand.
Song Jin got up and pulled him with a smile, "The general is too incomprehensible. ”
How can Lu Xiuyi not understand the amorous feelings? It's just pretending not to understand.
He got up to check on the team, and when he saw that everything was in order, he set off. sent Song Jin to take care of the three of them, and he opened the way in front. Not long after, Song Jin reported that His Royal Highness refused to do it, saying that she was afraid that Lord Lu would not come, and she would have to be protected by the general.
Lu Xiuyi said, then you go back to Your Highness, don't rush. Stay here, there are many tigers and wolves in the mountains, especially love to smell incense.
Song Jin smiled, "Your Highness's daughter's family, it's not good to be scared like this." ”
"You go back to her."
After a while, Song Jin came, "His Royal Highness was very angry, but he didn't say anything, the general should go." ”
Lu Xiuyi was noncommittal, Lingbi's voice had already sounded behind him, and he was angry, "Lu Xiuyi!" ”
"Your Highness is running very fast." He said.
Cai Yin Caiwei panted and followed, Lingbi was even more angry when she heard him say this, her face was slightly red, her sweat was shining, she grabbed his shirt in her hand, and only stared at him without speaking.
Lu Xiu walked on the road, and Lingbi grabbed him and left. So Lu Xiuyi slowed down and picked a flat mountain road. There was nothing to say all the way, and at the moment of incense, Lu Xiuyi spoke, "Is Your Highness tired?" ”
Lingbi snorted and said for a long time, "Tired." You carry me. ”
Lu Xiuyi raised his feet and continued to walk, deaf to him, Lingbi grabbed his shirt, but stopped, and he couldn't move.
He knew that Lingbi would not give up until he achieved his goal, so he had to squat down, and Lingbi happily threw himself on his back and hugged his neck.
Cai Wei laughed quietly behind her, "Lord Song, Your Highness and your general are very compatible." ”
Song Jin also smiled, "My general is dignified, and he is also the most handsome among the three armies, His Royal Highness has a beautiful face and a beautiful ......."
Lu Xiuyi turned his head slightly and scolded him, "Song Jin, if you talk nonsense carefully, I'll cut your tongue!" ”
Song Jin stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say more.
Lingbi smiled, "Why aren't people allowed to talk?" Song Jin, you go on to say, this palace likes to listen. Cai Wei went back to reward, and Song Jin also rewarded it. ”
Cai Yin grinned, "Looking at this prince in Beijing, Lord Lu is also outstanding." ”
Lingbi said, "Cai Yin will go back and reward it." ”
Song Jin smiled, "I don't dare to say it anymore." I'm afraid that the general will reward me with chili water and iron benches when I go back, and I will cut my tongue, which is terrible. ”
"Hmph. He dared. If he is embarrassed, you will not be able to get along with this palace. "Song Jin is like picking up a treasure," with His Royal Highness's words, Song Jin is willing to contribute to His Royal Highness. ”
Lingbi leaned in Lu Xiuyi's ear, "Lord Lu, do you dare?" "Lu Xiuyi said," His Royal Highness Chrysostom said. ”
Hearing him say this, Lingbi was satisfied with a smug face.
