The maid took out a clean white cloth and gently wiped her long hair.

Qi Ziruo's eyes fell on the table, and the person in charge of preparing the meal automatically explained: "This guest house is too simple, most of the things in the kitchen are greasy, this bowl of white fungus lotus seed porridge is boiled by slaves, the princess will eat some, don't starve." ”

"You made it yourself? Looks good. ”

Qi Ziruo sat down at the table, and it was really uncomfortable to travel for half a month, especially for someone like him who had never been far away, it was tantamount to a great torture.

I barely ate well during this time right now. The stomach was empty, and it was uncomfortably tight.

She was very satisfied with a bowl of hot porridge.

Qi Ziruo took the spoon and wiped her hair by the maid at will, and Wenwen quietly ate spoonful by spoonful.

Feeling warm in her abdomen, she fell on a small plate of pickles next to her, and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

"This is a pickle, the taste is slightly heavy, with a little sourness, very appetizing, should you try it?"

"Hmm." Qi Ziruo nodded, took a small piece from the maid, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

The heavy salty taste made her frown unconsciously, and then she ate two more mouthfuls of porridge before suppressing the taste.

The maid cautiously asked, "Isn't it delicious?" ”

"Maybe it's because Hongu can't get used to this taste."

Qi Ziruo replied honestly: "Since Bengong was conscious, he has never eaten pickles, and it seems that Bengong still has too little knowledge. ”

"The princess has a noble status and has been rich in food and clothing since she was a child, so naturally she has never seen this, and it has nothing to do with how much she has seen."

Qi Ziruo asked curiously, "How do you know?" ”

The maid knew what she was asking, and hurriedly replied:

"Back to the princess, before the slave was sold into the palace, the family was very poor, there were three brothers and two sisters, and it was difficult to even eat a full meal.

"Staple?" Qi Ziruo felt unbelievable, she couldn't stand such a taste when she took a bite, and she couldn't imagine that someone would use it as a staple food all year round.

"yes." The maid nodded with emotion, and her eyes showed a little nostalgia: "A nest head, with a little pickles, is a meal." ”

Qi Ziruo paused and said truthfully: "...... It's hard to imagine indeed. ”

Sensing the discomfort in Qi Ziruo's heart, the maid smiled with relief: "The princess doesn't have to be sad, this is a long time ago, not long ago, the slave received a letter from home, saying that life is good, in the past, he could only eat pickles, and now he can eat big white noodles and meat from time to time, all thanks to Your Majesty." ”

"Thank you, Brother Huang?"

"Hmm." Speaking of Emperor Shengping, the maid's cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were irresistibly admired and admired: "On the first day of Your Majesty's accession to the throne, the land tax law was revised, and there are many other good changes. ”

"Brother Huang is indeed very good."

Qi Ziruo couldn't help but smile and squint, and the fatigue of the past few days seemed to have dissipated.

She finally saw it with her own eyes, and saw with her own eyes that the fatigue of the imperial brother was rewarded at this moment.

Perhaps the happiness and well-being of the people is the greatest pursuit of the royal brother.

After finishing speaking, a small bowl of white fungus lotus seed porridge also saw the bottom, Qi Ziruo rinsed his mouth, and asked casually: "Where are we going?" ”

The maid replied: "After another day's journey, you can reach Qingyang City." ”

Now it is May 18, the wedding date is set for the sixth day of June, and there are still 18 days, presumably the seventh county is almost ready, just waiting for the princess.

At this rate, in ten days, you should be able to reach the seventh district, and time is very abundant.

Qi Ziruo said: "This palace remembers that Qingyang City seems to be very close to Suzhou? ”

"From Qingyang City to Suzhou, if there is no delay, it only takes three days to come and go."

After thinking about it, Qi Ziruo made a decision: "In this case, after arriving in Qingyang City, let the team stop and rest for a few days, and the palace will go to Suzhou." ”

As soon as these words came out, the maid hesitated slightly: "Princess, in this way, will it not be good?" ”

Qi Ziruo glanced at her, looking docile and graceful: "You just have to give orders, if the imperial brother is to blame, everything will be borne by the palace." ”

Having said that, the maid naturally couldn't stop it anymore, and from the impression that she was as good as a stream, she went out to make arrangements.

Two days later, Qi Ziruo came to an imperial village in Suzhou.

This Zhuangzi was prepared by Emperor Shengping, who was still the prince of the East Palace.

Because of a person, Qi Changrong established a paradise here, with harmonious mountains and simple folk customs, as if isolated from the outside world, and the whole Zhuangzi has everything he needs, self-sufficient.

Qi Ziruo changed her wedding dress and wore a mountain goose yellow brocade skirt, as soon as she stepped into the first step of this Zhuangzi, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The scenery in Zhuangzi is very good, there are mountains and rivers and people's homes, and from a little distance, the smoke of cooking comes out of the chimneys of the houses in the distance, and faintly, you can still hear the childish laughter of children.

As a royal princess, in this Zhuangzi, Qi Ziruo naturally passes unimpeded.

When he heard the child's laughter, Qi Ziruo opened his mouth: "Where is the child?" ”

No one could give her an answer.

After a while, the maid summoned a man and asked, "Where is the Twelfth Princess?" ”

Zhuang Nu glanced at Qi Ziruo cautiously: "I don't know ...... this noble person is"

The maid replied, "This is the thirteenth princess." ”

When the words fell, Zhuang Nu hurriedly knelt on the ground and asked for peace: "The slave asks for peace for the thirteenth princess, and His Royal Highness is blessed with peace." ”

Qi Ziruo said 'um', raised his hand and gave a slight support: "No courtesy, where is the imperial sister?" ”

Zhuang Nu replied: "The twelfth princess is in the primary school hall in the back mountain, so the slave will take the thirteenth princess there." ”

"There is labor."

The group headed towards the back mountain.

A small private school is located at the foot of the back mountain, and the closer you get to it, the clearer and more obvious the children's laughter becomes.

Knowing that she walked in, Qi Ziruo finally saw the person she was looking for.

The twelfth princess, Qi Zihuan, was dressed in plain clothes and was playing hide and seek with five or six children.

Qi Zihuan was covered with a red cloth, and the children each found a place to hide, and made a sound as agreed, as if they wanted to be caught as a 'ghost'.

However, when Qi Zihuan really approached them, those children were like loaches in slippery hands, and in an instant they ran to another place, and when they were in the air, there was another burst of laughter.

Qi Zihuan didn't take all this to heart, and he didn't show any annoyance on his face, with an obvious smile on his lips, he looked for the past in another place where the voice came from.

Seeing this scene, Qi Ziruo couldn't help but feel a little abrupt, and suddenly had a feeling of being separated from the world.

When did the once proud and willful Twelve Princesses become so simple?

was teased by a few children, but he didn't get angry.

Zhuang Nu called in the direction of Qi Zihuan: "Your Highness, someone has come to see you." ”

Hearing the sound, Qi Ziruo tore off the red cloth on his eyes, and happened to see Qi Ziruo who was looking at him in a daze.

After a little surprise, Qi Zihuan walked over, handed the red cloth to Zhuang Nu's hand, and ordered: "After a quarter of an hour of play, they should memorize the three-character scripture." ”

Zhuang Nu respectfully took it, took the role of Qi Zihuan, and played with the children.

The maid stepped aside in amusement.

At this time, Qi Zihuan asked, "Aren't you going to get married?" Why is this time coming? ”

"The seventh county is far away, and after getting married, it may be difficult to come back again, so I want to come and see the royal sister first."

Hearing this, Qi Zihuan smiled gently: "No matter how far away, as long as you want to come back, you can come back at any time, with the royal brother here, no one in this world will dare to block your way." ”

Qi Ziruo also smiled lightly and walked side by side with Qi Zihuan: "Where did the children in Zhuangzi come from?" ”

"Picked it up." Qi Zihuan replied casually: "They are all children who have no father and no mother and are abandoned on the side of the road. ”

Qi Ziruo paused: "...... Is it Jin? ”

"In today's world, if you talk about it, they are all Jin people."

Qi Zihuan looked very open, her hair was slightly messy against the wind, and her eyes were very clear: "Brother Huang is very powerful, a hundred years later, she will definitely be the most powerful emperor in the history books, even the founding emperor of our Qi royal family can't compare." ”

"Yes."

On this point, the two sisters are very much on the same page.

Whether it was when they were-for-tat at the beginning, or when they were getting along peacefully, in their eyes, Qi Changrong was the most powerful person.

Looking at Qi Zihuan, who looked calm in front of him and had a smile in his eyes, Qi Ziruo sighed with emotion: "Sure enough, it is the right choice for the imperial sister to leave the palace, you look excellent right now." ”

Qi Zihuan did not refute this: "After leaving the palace, I knew that there is another way to live in this world, with the royal brother here, I don't have to worry about anything, and I rarely think about the things that make me painful, and I can raise a few children to amuse, there is nothing faster than this." ”

In the past, when Qi Zihuan had mental problems, Qi Zihuan was very worried.

Now, Qi Zihuan has finally returned to normal, but Qi Zihuan is still not at ease.

"The imperial sister is still young, if the imperial sister is willing, maybe she can still experience the rest of the way of living."

"I can't."

Understanding the meaning of these words, Qi Zihuan only shook his head, glanced at the person beside him, and chuckled.

"I am very satisfied to be able to live like this, don't worry, I will not be lonely, I brought Jiang You's spiritual position, and he will always accompany me until I die."

Qi Ziruo was a little uncomfortable: "Why should the imperial sister be like this? ”

"Because I still can't put it down."

Qi Zihuan took a breath lightly, and his tone was full of confusion: "My entanglement with Jiang You is no longer clear, the more time passes, the more I can't figure out how I and him got to this point, obviously, he and I can be fine, isn't it?" ”

I think that back then, when she married Jiang You, it was a man who was ruthless and a woman who was unintentional, but because of an accident, she was forced to make a couple.

This marriage began inexplicably and ended inexplicably.
