When he left Shangjing, the most prosperous capital of the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Yueqiu was alone, with only a few people by his side.

On this day, it was the day of the prince's wedding, and the emperor, who was looked up to by the world, finally married a woman whose name she had never even heard.

One, a woman from a steppe tribe.

And he seems to have become one of the inconspicuous grains of sand in this dazed river of sand, accompanying that person for many years, being born and dying for her several times, and even letting go of all his pride in the end, but still not being pitied and retreated.

Zhao Yueqiu couldn't figure it out.

is so smart that even her father has sighed several times that if she is a man, she will be in the picture, and there is a lot to do.

Family background, ability, she is not lacking,

Such a self was originally the most suitable candidate for the position of the crown prince and concubine.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yueqiu, who was walking on the palace road, became slower and slower, and the gusts of spring breeze hit him, and the long curtain moved with the wind, crossing an arc in mid-air, even if it was just a back, it also left a ripple posture.

The maid who followed her cautiously asked, "When the girl leaves Shangjing, is there a place she wants to go?" ”

After that, the maid couldn't help but glance back, not far behind, there were a few people following them openly, all of them with cold faces and swords at their waists, obviously not ordinary people.

After they left Shangjing, these people suddenly appeared, as if out of thin air, although they had no ill will towards them, and they did not take the initiative to talk along the way.

And the girl still walked in front of herself when they did not exist, and when she was tired of walking, she went into the carriage to rest for a while, without the arrogance of a noble lady at all.

However, it is precisely because of this that the maid is more and more worried.

When they left, they had seen the grand wedding of the prince, and the maid knew in her heart that this girl in her family had always been concerned about the prince of the East Palace.

And a lot of effort has been put into it.

However, now that the prince of the East Palace is finally married, he is married to a little-known woman, and the girl must be extremely uncomfortable.

However, the girl forced this discomfort in her heart, and she never said anything about it, and her face was still indifferent, which made people worry about how much pain she felt in her heart.

After a long time, just when the maid thought that Zhao Yueqiu would not answer, a slightly soft and ethereal voice finally came into her ears from the front: "When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was cruising south, he passed by a few interesting places, and I also wanted to take a look." ”

Walk the path that the man had walked.

Feel the loneliness of that man.

No, with a beautiful friend by her side, maybe she is not alone.

Hearing this, the maid let out a long sigh.

The girl still couldn't put it down.

But who can easily let go of that one?

Those things that were originally close at hand, when you reach out and find that they are actually far away, this is a great blow to anyone.

For a moment, Zhao Yueqiu stopped on the side of the road.

Seeing her like this, the carriage behind her sped up slightly by two minutes and stopped beside her.

The coachman moved down the stool, and the maid helped Zhao Yueqiu to get into the car.

At the same time, a few people who followed them not far away also turned on their horses, leisurely and indifferently separated from a distance not far away, and never left.

These people are from the king's mansion.

Under the order of the general, Zhao Yueqiu will naturally be protected.

The first official settlement point was in Tancheng.

The prince's wedding was in March, but Zhao Yueqiu entered the city in April.

This time, she didn't alarm anyone, and stayed directly at the inn under the name of the Qian family, and stayed for more than half a month, and was regarded as a guest.

In the lobby of the inn, when I saw Zhao Yueqiu coming out of the Tianzi room and going downstairs, there was another commotion in the hall.

"Do you know, this girl has been living in the Tianzi room for at least half a month."

"Ten taels a night in the Tianzi room, she is really the daughter of a rich family."

"Rich? Why do you have to come to the lobby with a lot of people if you have money, and you can't open a box directly on the second floor? ”

"Who knows, maybe this girl likes to be boisterous."

After all, no matter what, he should be a master who is not bad for money.

Since it is not bad for money, there is no difference between using more and using less.

When she took her seat, the maid paused, as if she didn't hear the voices of those people, and wiped the wooden table in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "What did the girl eat this morning?" ”

"A bowl of lotus seed soup, a cage of crab roe buns, and a clear soup of tender bamboo shoots."

The maid wrote it down, then raised her hand to summon Xiao Er, and whispered a few words in Er's ear.

After hearing this, Xiao Er left immediately.

And after glancing at Zhao Yueqiu, the maid also sat down not far away.

When eating, the girl does not like to eat at the same table with others, but she will not treat them badly and open another table.

Soon, what Zhao Yueqiu wanted was brought up.

Surprisingly, it was not the second child in the restaurant who served the food, but the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

Facing Zhao Yueqiu, the shopkeeper was extremely respectful.

The shopkeeper is not here just to serve food.

"Girl, the head of the house sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that in three days, he will arrive in Tancheng, so that you can wait here, the head of the house said that he has something to say to you."

Zhao Yueqiu lowered her eyelids, calmly separated the hat from both sides, hung it on the soft hooks on both sides to fix it, and raised her eyes to look at the shopkeeper.

For a while, the clear and beautiful eyes, as well as the increasingly sharp gaze in the eyes, made the shopkeeper dare not look directly, subconsciously lowered his eyelids, and was silent.

At this time, Zhao Yueqiu asked a little casually: "Did you tell Master?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper only felt that it was dangerous, and quickly tightened his face, and replied with consideration: "The identity of the girl is really unusual, you go out alone, presumably everyone in Beijing is very worried, I dare not hide such a major news without authorization." ”

The crab roe bun in front of him was steaming hot, and the tempting aroma rushed into his nasal cavity, and when it was half-loud, Zhao Yueqiu said 'um': "I know, you go down." ”

After saying this, the shopkeeper was like an amnesty, and after saluting, he hurriedly retreated, very relieved.

The person in front of him is not only the little half of the Qian family's master, but the aura on his body is becoming more and more fierce, which makes people quite frightened.

Seeing the cautious and cautious appearance of the shopkeeper of the Qian Branch's Restaurant, the guests in the lobby were even more surprised, and they had already guessed Zhao Yueqiu's origin.

After all, the person who can make the Qian family bow his head must have a good identity.

Although the shopkeeper of this restaurant cannot represent the entire Qian family, it can also represent many things, and for a while, the discussion was suppressed.

In the face of changes in the outside world, Zhao Yueqiu was unmoved, and quietly started breakfast with her eyes.

Every move is good.

Two quarters of an hour later, the maid came to Zhao Yueqiu's side: "Girl, we've been in Tancheng for half a month, why don't we go out for a walk today?" ”

"Uninteresting." Zhao Yueqiu pursed her lips and put down her hat: "Don't go." ”

"It's going to be fun."

The maid blinked, and her tone was full of interest: "Do you remember, Mrs. Jun, it was General Jun who married her in Tancheng." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yueqiu under the hat raised her eyebrows, but she really had a few interests: "You found the address of your cousin's home?" ”

"Yes." The maid grinned: "Girl, the slave is very curious, what kind of girl is she to capture the heart of the general." ”

Zhao Yueqiu curled her lips and smiled: "I'm also curious." ”

Strange to say, as Junchen's cousin, Zhao Yueqiu has never seen this sister-in-law, but her cousin protects her cousin-in-law too well, so that there are very few people who have seen this.

Zhao Yueqiu only knew that she was a beautiful-looking woman.

After the words fell, the maid said, "Since the girl is also curious, let's go and take a look?" ”

"It's rude to go and disturb suddenly."

Zhao Yueqiu hesitated: "If my cousin knows, he will definitely be unhappy." ”

"No, it won't." The maid obviously inquired for a long time, and immediately shook her head after hearing this: "The slave has already asked many people, although this Xie Mansion is located in a quiet place, it does not refuse outsiders to visit, not to mention, you are still the general's cousin." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yueqiu paused, and finally relented: "Then let's go, you prepare something, don't be rude." ”

Zhao Yueqiu knew very little about Jun Chen's wife, Xie Tanyuan, the girl of the Xie family, and never even sent anyone to inquire about the life experience of this Xie girl, so she didn't know that the real Xie Tanyuan's family had already died in the disaster many years ago.

Now there is no one in the 'Xie Mansion' except Xie Tanyuan.

The carriage drove to the alley, and Zhao Yueqiu finally saw the Xie Mansion house standing in front of her.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Yueqiu stepped forward in person and talked with the porter.

When he saw the person in front of him, the porter was obviously stunned: "Who are you?" ”

"My surname is Zhao, I am Junchen's cousin, I came here this time to take a look at my cousin's cousin and sister-in-law."

When the words fell, the porter's gaze suddenly changed when he looked at her, and while bringing people into the mansion, he said with a little embarrassment: "Miss Zhao, there is no one who can be in charge of our mansion, you are a guest, I am afraid that you will be neglected." ”

"Oh?"

"You don't know?"

The porter paused and replied truthfully: "My girl is really hard, she has lost her parents since she was a child, and she has suffered a great disaster, and now there is only one girl in our house." ”

And now Xie Tanyuan has left Tancheng with her husband, and this Xie Mansion can be said to be an ownerless house.

Zhao Yueqiu was surprised.

Obviously, she had never heard of this, after all, no matter how extraordinary her methods were, she would never turn her mind to the head of the monarch's mansion.

After a long time, Zhao Yueqiu sighed slightly: "In this way, I was abrupt." ”

However, she has arrived, and it is impossible to leave like this.

Zhao Yueqiu stayed as usual, drank a few cups of good tea, walked around the house, and then said goodbye.

After she left, the porter's eyes immediately changed, and he raised his hand to summon a person, and the two of them discussed it, and finally decided to go to Beijing to send a secret letter.

Always let the general know that his cousin is in Tancheng.

……

In the carriage, the maid said guiltily: "It's the slave's negligence." ”
