The simple carriage left the city gate far behind, and walked out for about five miles, a fork in the road, where Si Mei and the others were waiting.

Three carriages, the contents are quite complete.

Ye Congwei's clothes alone were piled up in a cart, and the cold winter clothes were thick, and the salute was packed full.

Ye Congwei couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene: "It seems like you're going to leave." "Never coming back.

"What did the princess say," Si Zhu said with a smile, "It's just to go to Zhuangzi to stay for a while, and maybe return to Beijing on Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"Can you?" Ye Congwei looked at the sky: "It's been a few days since Chinese New Year's Eve......"

Among the people who accompanied him, in addition to Chang Fu, there was also a lot.

Ye Congwei thought that Qi Su should leave Zong Chu to do things, didn't she already have thoughts to follow?

But he left behind the mighty man......

However, at this time, he was already out of the city, and it was useless to talk more, and it was not conducive to hurrying if he delayed any longer.

Ye Congwei didn't say much, obediently got into the car, and the group set off for Zhuangzi.

I thought it was going somewhere, but I didn't expect to stop and stop all the way, and the destination was the gourd mouth I had been to last winter.

It only takes two days to arrive, and the mood has already changed dramatically.

Because Ye Congwei has a picky appetite since she was pregnant, it is difficult to find a suitable cook, so she naturally can't leave the spoon behind on this trip.

Therefore, in the process of hurrying, I have been treated attentively and without any discomfort.

Only at night, Ye Congwei shrank in the warm quilt, thinking about Qi Su's situation at this moment.

Has the crown prince ascended the throne? What did the eldest prince do? and Du Jiaqi, who fled to find Xu Gelao, whether it would help.

Ye Congwei didn't know Qi Su's specific plan, so it was inevitable that he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Her information is very limited, patchwork, and difficult to complete.

But she never had nightmares, and the child in her womb gave her infinite security and hope.

It's going to be fine.

********

On the third day, Ye Congwei and his party arrived at Hulukou, where they were still greeted by more than a dozen guards on horseback.

The cottage is as old as ever, with neatly stacked farmlands and a variety of herbs planted.

The difference is that a considerable number of people are missing.

It should have been taken away by Ji Qufeng and Wu Shaodong, and they went to the capital to help Qi Su.

Nowadays, there is only one farmer and more than a dozen guards in this mountain villa.

Ye Congwei and others moved in, which made Zhuangzi a little more popular, and it became lively again up and down.

The dwelling was dry and warm, and I didn't dare to use incense at will, so I smoked it with herbs prepared by the doctor.

In the bedroom where Ye Congwei lived, a small bed was added outside, and the maids took turns to sleep at vigil.

Si Ju said with a smile: "The prince has ordered, without anyone accompanying her, the princess is not allowed to soak in the hot springs without permission." ”

This bedroom is connected to the backyard hot spring pool, which is very convenient for falling asleep after bathing/bathing.

And the reason why Qi Su confessed like this was to remember that Ye Congwei was afraid of water.

If you soak in the hot spring for a long time, you will have a fever and are weak, so if you fall down and drown, it will not be dangerous.

This worry made Ye Congwei cry and laugh: "I'm such a big person, is it possible that I'm afraid of Xiaoxiaochi?" ”

She is afraid of the water, but under Qi Su's deliberate 'exercise', she has improved a lot.

Did he forget that he often took her to mess around in the pool? I don't blush when I say that......

Moreover, Ye Congwei was afraid of water, and he was not so afraid that he did not dare to take a bath.

No one else came to interfere, she cleaned herself and then got up and dressed, without any uneasiness.

"Princess, the prince is afraid that you will covet the comfort of the hot spring, or be immersed in sorrow, and accidentally sit for a long time." Si Ju explained.

"What kind of sorrow makes me sit for a long time and don't know the heat?" Ye Congwei asked rhetorically.

Si Ju covered her mouth and smiled: "It must be because I miss the prince." ”

"You talk nonsense, you dare to laugh at me." Ye Congwei's eyes widened, not fierce at all.

Si Jucai is not afraid of her, and insists on following Qi Su's words as his will, and someone must follow her at all times.

Ye Congwei didn't insist on walking alone, with them guarding, everyone was relieved.

She went outside to take a look, and the small bed was fully covered, thinking that it would not freeze in the middle of the night.

The dinner was very rich, and Si Lan said with a smile: "In this valley, the cold winter is not very frozen, the fish are fresh, the melons and fruits are tender and green, and it is the most suitable for the princess to raise a baby." ”

Ye Congwei tasted two bites, familiar with the cook's craftsmanship.

She nodded: "It's good, and you can enjoy the scenery." ”

However, her interest could not be raised, and if there was a message of Qi Su, she would not be so worried.

What happened in the capital didn't come out so quickly.

And the mountain villa where they are located is almost isolated from the world, and they can't hear anything.

Unless Qi Su sent someone to deliver the news here, but he didn't.

Ye Congwei could only let himself hold back, wait for the good news quietly, and not make trouble, which was the greatest support for Qisu.

********

Time flies slowly in the mountains, but it's Chinese New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye.

A few little maids and peasant women cut a lot of window flowers and pasted them, and there was a row of red lanterns under the promenade, and the villa looked very festive.

They're going to get ready for the New Year.

The master chef in charge of the spoon is particularly satisfied with the ingredients in the villa, the ingredients are sufficient, and he can show his hand well and make a rich Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

Ye Congwei didn't interfere much in this matter, just let them be happy.

She occasionally asked Chang Fu how he was so calm.

Chang Fu grew up serving Qi Su, and he followed him much longer than An Yan and Chuan Chu, so he should be in a hurry at this moment.

After all, at such a critical juncture, he asked Ye Congwei to call him away.

Regarding Ye Congwei's question, Chang Fu smiled: "The old slave believes in the prince, and he will definitely be able to make his wishes come true." ”

"I can't believe it." Ye Congwei sighed lightly, she was still reborn, and she knew the direction of her previous life.

Historically, coups/d'état have to be bloody, and I don't know if Qi Su will be injured?

"Princess," Si Zhu persuaded, "You can't do this all day, why don't you think about something else?" ”

"What else?" Ye Congwei clasped his hands: "It's the New Year, aren't everyone idle?" ”

Si Zhu raised his hand and nodded his chin, and said, "The princess hasn't written a reply to her cousin yet, why don't you think about it for her?" ”

"Oh, yes......" Ye Congwei really forgot about Liu Mingke.

That day, Ye Shuo sent her fish, saying that it was transported all the way from Yangzhou by the Liu family, and he also carried a letter.

The wax seal of the letter is still there, and it can be seen that it has not been opened and seen.

Liu Mingke said that the marriage she had set a few months ago had collapsed.

Ye Congwei didn't know how to comfort her for a while, or was she angry and angry for her? He put the letter down for the time being.

Now that the emperor has died, Qi Su is in the center of power, which is extremely dangerous, how can she afford this.

Liu Mingke was dismissed from the marriage, but in fact, she was not sad at all, she was not very happy, what does it matter if she loses.

However, retiring from relatives is harmful to a girl's family, she is very innocent, and she can't pinch her nose and admit it.

It is reported that it is the son, who is not clear with the maids around him, and the children are pregnant.

This plot is exactly the same as Liu Langjun of Ye Congfei's family, the rich son and brother have been mixing with the little girl who has been serving around him for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will fall in love for a long time.

Liu Mingke not only yearns for heroes in her heart, but also longs for a lifetime and a couple, how can she tolerate this before she passes through the door?

Not to mention her, the Liu family would not agree, so the marriage naturally withdrew.

Liu Mingke mentioned this matter in the letter, with a lot of emotion and sorrow.

The girl in the flower season has a longing for love, but she can't pursue anything.

She didn't know which son-in-law would be arranged for her at home, anyway, everyone was about the same.

There was a faint sense of hopelessness between the words.

Ye Congwei didn't rush to reply, because any kind of words were useless and would not be of substantial help to Liu Mingke.

When Si Zhu mentioned it at this time, she thought of it a little.

If Qi Su is as smooth as in his previous life and successfully seizes power, the brothers around him will no longer have to hide and tuck, and they can appear openly.

Among them, there are the black big demons lurking in the horse farm, and there are other people that Ye Congwei doesn't know, and naturally including the mountain bandit leader of Qingli Peak?

Ye Congwei felt that Liu Mingke withdrew from the marriage at this juncture, but did he know if it was the will of heaven......

Thinking of this, she turned around and asked Si Mei to grind the ink, and wrote a reply to Liu Mingke.

Now that the marriage has been withdrawn, this cusp is mainly hidden, don't rush to set a family.

It's not too late to talk about it in a few months, the so-called - good things are grinding.

*********

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very rich, Ye Congwei called Chang Fu and the others to sit down, and on the other side were a few little maids, and the doctor was also seated.

A group of people gathered together to fill the room.

At first, they didn't dare, but under Ye Congwei's persuasion, they were exempted from those courtesies.

Otherwise, the princess would eat alone at the table, and the space would be lonely.

"I can't drink, you can," Ye Congwei held his chin with one hand and said with a smile: "Except for the night watchman, you are allowed to get drunk tonight." ”

"What to do is to be drunk, you can't do it!" Silan waved his hand again and again.

"Why not, don't you want to try what it's like to get drunk?" Ye Congwei raised her eyebrows, she really wanted to try.

It's a pity that for the sake of children, eating and drinking requires a lot of abstinence.

At the instigation of Ye Congwei, several people drank a little wine, and the atmosphere became warm.

She is already approachable, she has no temper, and the maid is not afraid at all, but she is more frightened of Chang Fu.

Chang Fu's voice in the palace is greater than that of Steward Lu.

After eating, Ye Congwei wrapped himself in a thick cloak and went to the outside of Zhuangzi to watch them set off fireworks.

The peasant households living in the valley are all families, including old people and children, just like ordinary villages.

They are doing well, well fed and well-fed, and carefree.

Si Zhu took two fairy sticks over, handed them to Ye Congwei, and asked with a smile, "Is the princess happy?" ”

"I'm not very happy," Ye Congwei said: "I didn't bring much silver out, and I didn't have enough money for the New Year." ”

The carriages, horses, and manpower arranged by Qi Su for her also had silver tickets, but there were not many loose silver and copper plates.

The silver tickets are all of large denominations, which is obviously not suitable for giving red envelopes to these people.

Si Zhu smiled when he heard this: "We should be strangled in this matter, can the princess make it up to us afterwards?" ”

Ye Congwei rolled his eyes: "When the prince comes to pick me up, I will supply you." ”

"This ......"

"He's coming soon," Ye Congwei was very sure: "If it fails, he would have transferred me elsewhere a long time ago, instead of standing still." ”

Si Lan was slightly surprised at first, and then smiled: "The princess is smart, I guessed everything." ”
