My father finally broke his promise.

On the day of the send-off, although he said that he was sick in the palace and did not see me off with the emperor and the ministers of the court, when the convoy walked out of the city gate, under the reminder of Li Da, I still saw my father standing on the city wall and watching me leave.

I lifted the cotton curtain of the carriage and poked my head out, panting to greet my father.

Although we were getting farther and farther apart, our hearts were getting closer and closer, and I could even see my father's sadness secretly wiping his tears with his sleeve, and the reluctance to blur my vision, all drowning in the snowy sky outside Luoyang, Kyoto.

"One day, my Yu Wenxuan will definitely come back, father."

I was very determined to meditate in my heart, smiling and waving goodbye to my father, until I couldn't see the old city wall of Luoyang in the snowflakes, until my father couldn't see my convoy traveling far away.

In this way, the team of relatives left Luoyang City and left the Zhao Wangfu where I had lived for 16 years. The sadness of separating from my father on the first day was still a little sour, and on the second day, there was only a complaint about the cold weather.

Xinyue is a small country in the northwest of the Great Zhou, I don't know why the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is so easy to speak, and as soon as people come to ask for relatives, they nod and agree. If you don't agree, are you still afraid that he won't succeed in attacking Da Zhou? I must have been sick and confused.

A few whining voices welled up in my heart, but what was even more annoying was that the weather was getting colder as the convoy advanced northwest. Even when I was sitting in the carriage, I felt that there was air leaking everywhere, and it was biting cold.

Du Ruo and I covered several layers of quilts, but we still didn't feel warm enough. But when I think of the soldiers who are sending their relatives outside, aren't they even more frozen? I suddenly felt a little guilty in my heart. Especially Li Da, after all, if it weren't for escorting me, he wouldn't have to suffer this trip.

Especially at night, the thin tent, even if there is a brazier for heating, still can't withstand the cold of the north. Fortunately, on the third day, I stayed in a yamen called Qi County, and Zhang Xian, the county magistrate, seemed to really treat me as a princess, and took care of the best restaurant in the county for us to settle down.

Although I personally feel a bit extravagant, I still feel comfortable to be able to have a warm house and delicious meals to eat.

"Her Royal Highness the princess represents Da Zhou, this treatment is deserved, deserved." Zhang Xian was very polite, but it seemed that I was a little out of place.

Without waiting for me to reply, Gu Shoucheng, the general who led the team, spoke: "The princess's food and housing, you register truthfully, and you will leave tomorrow, and you will be paid in full, and the people's gold and silver will not be shortened." ”

Zhang Xian hurriedly bowed and saluted, "So good, so good." ”

I secretly admired Gu Shoucheng's atmosphere and strict discipline in my heart, and I could see that this county magistrate was also suffering from heavy hospitality. Anyway, the dowry brought is enough, and it is better to spend it in the territory of the Great Zhou than to give it to the small country of the New Moon.

After dinner in the restaurant, he collapsed on the bed in the guest room and raised his body. After a while, Du Ruo walked into the guest room with hot water. "Miss, soak your feet."

"Okay, soak your feet." I struggled to get up from the bed, just as Du Ruo's basin of water had been placed at my feet, my feet went down, and suddenly a warm current rushed from the soles of my feet to my heart. "It's so comfortable, it's better for me than you."

Du Ruo smiled but didn't say a word, squatted down and pinched my feet for me, bringing my comfort closer. "I really didn't expect it, Du Ruo still pinched your feet, hey, it's so comfortable, where did you learn it."

"Du Ruo learned from his mother when he was a child, and his mother also helped me pinch my feet when I was a child, and then my mother was seriously ill, and I also pinched my mother's feet like this." Du Ruo explained with a smile, but I was a little distressed when I heard it. Which child is not the treasure of the palm of her parents, if it weren't for her parents who left early, presumably even if she was not a daughter, she would not be a maid.

"Du Ruo, I'll come by myself, you're tired for a day, go back and rest." I had good intentions, but I didn't want Du Ruo to be a little angry.

"Miss is a princess, do you think Du Ruo's service is not thoughtful enough?" Du Ruo tilted his head and looked at me with an aggrieved expression.

I couldn't help but wonder, "Du Ruo, where did you start with this?" ”

Du Ruodao: "Then the county magistrate found two little maids for you, saying that they were waiting for the princess on the road, doesn't the young lady know?" ”

I shook my head and said innocently, "No one mentioned it to me, how did I know?" ”

As he spoke, there was a knock at the door. I asked angrily, "Who?!" ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, we are the servants of you, don't you know how convenient it is to come in?"

Du Ruo stood aside, sulking alone, I was also a little annoyed in my heart, I was quite considerate of the county magistrate, and I would be dizzy and make such a mistake at this time. However, Du Ruo's temper has been big enough recently, even if I want a subordinate, do I still need to ask her opinion?

Thinking dizzily, at this time, the two little maids outside the door knocked on the door again and asked if it was convenient. I coughed twice and said lightly, "Come in." ”

The door slowly opened, and the two little maids slowly walked in and timidly bowed in front of me.

"Slave maid Cuiyun and Yutang have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."

I looked at the two little girls carefully, and found that they were only eleven or twelve years old, and I couldn't help but feel a little pitiful. "You are the maids sent by the county government to serve me?"

The two little girls nodded, not daring to say more.

"I'm going to the Crescent Moon Country, such a long way, such a cold day, you are so thin, how can you stand it. I understand the kindness of the county magistrate, where did you come from, or where do you go back. I glanced at Du Ruo, who was standing aside, and said angrily: "It's enough for me to have a maid by my side." ”

Du Ruo's face was embarrassed for a moment, and he turned red, and he looked down to know that he was a little reckless.

I thought that the two little girls would obediently leave the house, but they didn't want to listen to me, so they knelt on the ground and cried.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, we are not afraid of cold, we are not afraid of hardship, and we will definitely serve you wholeheartedly, please be sure to keep us."

"Your Royal Highness Princess, even if we are frozen to death on the way, we have no complaints, just ask that here, if you can accept us, save us, Your Royal Highness Princess."

The two little girls knelt on the ground, kowtowing to me with tears in their eyes, if I didn't accept them, they would probably die here.

"What's the matter, do you have any grievances?" Xu I've listened to books a lot, this posture is obviously coerced, "Say, did the county order force you?!" ”
