On February 15, the sky was clear and the ice and snow were melting.

Bactria farming on the fertile soil of the central plains, the ancestors have worked hard for generations to build a trade road extending in all directions, agriculture is good, the food is wonderful, and the snack bars on the trade road each have some exquisite unique skills. Some shopkeepers even recruited sons-in-law of caravans because of the girl's craftsmanship. This is called men's love through the stomach. As they walked, the vendors integrated the splendid and beautiful culture into the lives of various countries.

Meng Yining stood in the highest library of the palace, the breeze was blowing, the long skirt was flying, and the hollow gold silk wind chimes of the hairpin pendant on her head were tinkling bells. The tassels on the ears are made of peach-pink coral beads from the tribute, and the crystal beads below are crystal clear.

Holding on to the railing of the carved fairy beast, she quietly looked at the landscape, grass and trees, and a black squirrel jumped onto the opposite tree and shook the branches.

The flowers and plants in the early spring of summer are not glorious, but the magical lotus river is sealed all year round, and it is sparkling in the sun. The people believe in religion, and every family has immortals. There are hot springs flowing out of Chengping City, showing wisps of green smoke. This land carries the memories of Meng Yining and Gu Zi'an for eight years.

"Your Highness." Meng Yining glanced sideways at Jing Chi beside him and called out slowly.

Jing Chi is dressed in a lake-blue robe, the same color as Changtian, with a handsome face and eyes like stars. He smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth.

The fluff of Meng Yining's snow cloak gently rolled in the breeze, and she looked at him, a little sadness flashed in her eyes.

Suddenly, the wind blew, and the birds cried, and then disappeared again.

The world is changeable, Jing Zheng, who was once invincible, has gradually become estranged because of the suspicion of King Xia, and the rest of the princes are either young or sick, and the royal family of Great Xia is not prosperous, so the heavy responsibility after Great Xia falls on Jing Chi's shoulders. The king of Bactria also began to prepare for the establishment of a crown prince. Jingchi has always been frank and tolerant, stable and cautious, and he was not very concerned about becoming the king of Great Xia.

"On the road tomorrow, I hope you have a safe journey back." Jing Chi said sincerely.

Since Meng Yining explicitly rejected Jing Chi last time, she has always avoided him. This is the first time the two of them have been up close.

"Of course, maybe in a year and a half, we will see each other again. After all, Beiyang and Daxia still want to be close, I heard that although Princess Beiyang is not as delicate and graceful as Daxia's beauties, she is still noble and graceful, dignified and self-controlled...... I heard that ......" Meng Yining hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted by Jing Chi.

"Yi Ning," he frowned slightly.

For ordinary women, if they can marry into the palace, it is a great joy. And after a few incidents, especially the anxiety and nervousness that Jing Chi showed about the kidnapping, anyone will understand Jing Chi's heart for her. But Meng Yining is not an ordinary woman, nor is she a tomboy who likes to practice swords, she is a woman with a heart and determination, and it is impossible for her to live a quiet life in the palace walls. Over the years, she has been dressed plainly, firstly, in order not to provoke the rights and wrongs of men and women, and on the other hand, she has given all the money and wealth on her body to Zhang Ji, becoming part of the establishment of the assassin and traitor, and establishing her own news network in more and more places. Keep an eye on the movements of Beiyang at all times.

Now when he leaves, he also leaves a place to contact in Great Xia. Mentally, although she is smaller than Jingchi, just like when she wanted to protect her sister, she feels that if she has the ability, she is also the role of protecting Jingchi, rather than abiding by women's morals at home.

"Yi Ning," Jing Chi whispered, taking out a small purple brocade bag from his sleeve, embroidered with five petals of peach blossoms and handing it to Meng Yining.

"What's that?" He took the bag and looked at him suspiciously, his eyes reflecting his lake-blue clothes, like a clear spring. Jing Chi began to prepare a congratulatory gift for returning to China when he learned that the two were going back to Beiyang, in addition to giving her a lot of gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and two tungsten gold soft armor made by a famous craftsman in Daxia. He knew that although it was a happy event to return home, the road was dangerous and he needed to be extra cautious.

"Guess what?"

Meng Yining didn't open it, "Short sword? Antidote pills? Or what? She glanced at his subtle expression out of the corner of her eye.

"Open it and take a look, little care, you have to take it."

He happily opened it and touched a clump of white fluffy hair, which was a cute rabbit toy. Black eyes with a touch of brown in the middle of the nose. She looked at Jing Chi in surprise, "Where are you from?" Did you do one? ”

Seeing her surprised expression, Jing Chi smiled with relief: "That's the rabbit you once raised that could be harmed by He Miaomiao." Knowing that you love it very much, I made one for you based on my impressions. ”

The rabbit lay exactly the same in Meng Yining's palm, as if returning to the spring of a certain year in the palace.

"Beiyang is different from Daxia, you like the rabbits here, fluffy like glutinous rice dumplings. Beiyang is cold in winter, and the hair is long and rough, so I'm afraid you will still be prickly. ”

Meng Yining's eyes were a little moist, and he never thought that Jing Chi would remember these little things, and said for a long time: "Thank you." ”

Ascending the heights and looking into the distance, there was a procession to escort the exiles far away, and officers and soldiers stood on both sides of the street.

The once beautiful Hehou Mansion has now become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats during the festival. King Xia remembered that the Marquis of Crane had done his best to himself, and said: "The death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime should be punished." "The group was exiled to the frontier five hundred miles away.

"Who would have thought that the owner of this Qixia Mountain Silver Mine was actually a relative of the Mother of the Marquis of He. Originally, An An was born to live as a marquis, and it was just a matter of gaining respect, but he had to give birth to corruption and bribery. ”

"Alas, the exiles have a hard journey, and this official is gone, but he is a rank lower than the common people, and he will be wantonly abused by the discharged soldiers on the way, and he will have to wear shackles to advance. Even if you go to that wild and miasma land, you will only rack your brains for survival. If you don't have the heart to hurt others, how can it be so?"

Gu Zi'an saw the two chatting on the top floor of the book pavilion and walked in with a book. Jing Chi looked at Gu Zi'an, who was one year older than him, time flies, and the two of them are no longer the same as when they were young. After the collusion between He Miaomiao and Yan Rong was exposed, this time the father strengthened the team to escort Gu Zi'an back to Beiyang. Thinking of this, the future is not rushed, and he doesn't know how to speak in a thousand words, Jing Chi only asked: "Have you seen the white fur mink clothes, boots, and hats that were delivered yesterday?" ”

Gu Zi'an smiled: "It's very warm and comfortable, and I'm no longer afraid of the cold in Beiyang." ”

After a while, the spring and summer downstairs came up to invite the three of them to dinner.

During the banquet, the wine and delicacies were red, green, green and white, all of which were Gu Zi'an and Meng Yining's favorite dishes. Ingot soup with shrimp and barley, grilled fish with pine branches, lotus seeds with fragrant crab, crispy venison with gardenia sauce, assorted daylily triangular cakes...... The maidservants came and went, carrying the plates by the white jade lotus and placing them in front of them one by one.

Jing Chi said to bring the fifty years of cellar! Meng Yining laughed when he heard it and called Chun Xia, go and call that wine gourd!
