The road into the mountain is still very flat, the slope is extremely gentle, Xiao Xiao took Qin Yining's hand and walked in front, and the group behind him followed with laughter and laughter, enjoying the scenery along the way.

When you are in a good mood, no one cares even if the roads are muddy and sticky, your shoes are dirty, your trousers and skirts are dirty, and all you have in your eyes is the scenery and the people around you.

Qin Yining whispered to Xiao Xiao about the trivial things of life, it was rare for them to put aside political affairs and devote themselves to nature, Qin Yining felt that the mood was extremely relaxed and happy.

However, after about half an hour, the mountain road became steeper.

"It's too hard to walk." Rock Candy crossed his waist, his little face was tired and red, his forehead and sideburns were full of hot sweat, and his hair was stuck to his face with sweat.

Huzi stood beside Bingtang and took a large leaf to fan her, "Are you tired?" I'm carrying you on my back, huh? The tone was eager.

Rock Candy rolled her big eyes, pushed Huzi away, and stepped on the slightly less thick dirt on the side of the road and walked two steps, but the mud under her feet was too slippery, and she almost slipped on her stomach.

"Oops!"

Huzi quickly scooped up the person, and laughed: "It's originally a potato essence, if you lose your front teeth again, you won't be able to see it in the future!" ”

Qin Yining gasped and looked back at them, shaking his head amusedly.

Looking around, the group of people on the road when they came had already distanced themselves, Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi and the Jinghu Wei beside them had already been left far away, and they could hardly see the figures.

She and Xiao Xiao walked in the front, followed by the four of them, Huzi and Bingtang again, Jiyun walked behind Jidan, and Tang Xiu followed Jiyun cautiously, not daring to get closer to Jiyun more than three steps along the way.

"It has been raining for two months, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, but fortunately, the hillside cannot hold water, and there are plants and trees to fix, and this Juhuang Mountain is going up to the cliffs. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare bring you up. Xiao Xiao wiped Qin Yining's sweat with his sleeve, "After such a heavy rain, ordinary mountains cannot be climbed, and it is easy to encounter landslides and mudslides." ”

Qin Yining smiled and nodded: "What you said is that I know that you came to climb the mountain with you after everything was arranged, but Bingtang is right, this wet road is too difficult to walk, and the soles of my shoes are already covered with a thick layer of mud." ”

Qin Yining took Xiao Xiao's hand and carefully moved to the side of the road, rubbing the soles of his shoes on a big tree.

Xiao Xiao smiled, "It's okay to have dirt, the important thing is to have fun." It turns out that how good your body is, since you follow me, your body is losing more and more, if you put it on the past, don't say that it is to let you walk up the mountain like this, even if you let you run up, you will not be tired like this. ”

Qin Yining smiled and shook her head, she didn't want to think of the unpleasantness in the past.

"If your body is weak, take care of it, move more, and get better slowly." Qin Yining looked back, "Mr. Xie, they haven't caught up yet, should we wait for them for a while?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll arrange for people to follow them, and they'll walk up slowly. Let's continue to walk slowly. Xiao Xiao wiped Qin Yining's sweat again.

He loved Qin Yining's ruddy face and sweaty sideburns now, like this, she seemed to have retreated from the calmness and maturity forced by the world, like a carefree little girl.

It's just that his sister Yi was born with a bumpy fate, and she is already busy with life at the age when she should be carefree, and it is rare for her to have such a pure and relaxed time, just taking her out for a walk can make her so happy.

Xiao Xiao's big hand took her slightly wet little hand, and matched her footsteps, whenever she slipped under her feet or showed a male color on her face, he pulled her.

"When it's all over in the future, I'll take you out to play more." Xiao Xiao smiled, "Then you don't have to worry about these trivial matters anymore, and you don't have to worry about when we will be dealt with again." You just have to care about what new tricks are at the moment, what good rouge gouache is used, and just worry about the children's affairs. ”

Qin Yining had a shallow smile on her lips, the life she imagined was too beautiful, she didn't dare to think about it.

Where will Li Qitian let them go? The situation is so complicated, the treasure has not yet belonged, and the Tatars are behind their backs, and since they are already in this circle, it is not easy to get out.

It's just that Qin Yining is reluctant to let Xiao Xiao's heart be blocked.

"Okay. Earlier, we just said that I would just take care of the children and ignore anything. ”

Xiao Xiao felt guilty in his heart, and his smile was also a little stunned.

Listening to the two of them talking, Mu Jinghu, who was walking with a few people who were stunned, also remembered Qiu Feishan who was far away in the south. Although the two of them have correspondence, they are not as reassuring as being in front of their own eyes.

I don't know if his son will recognize him as a father next time he sees him.

Mu Jinghu couldn't help but sigh lightly when he thought of this.

Xiao Xiao's five senses were keen, and he looked back: "What's wrong?" Aren't you tired? ”

"What the hell." Mu Jinghu walked very easily, "Such a little mountain road is not difficult for me." I just felt ...... Such a time is rare, so let's end this troubled world as soon as possible. ”

He pursed his lips and smiled, looking up at the lush green leaves that were hiding overhead. The cherished sunlight fell through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on their faces and bodies.

For a long time, just when Qin Yining thought that Xiao Xiao would not answer Mu Jinghu, he heard Xiao Xiao say, "Okay." ”

Ending this troubled world is not the same thing as ending a period of rule.

It may take more to make this commitment, maybe not only life, but even a lifetime.

The group walked up again, about two pillars of incense.

At this time, their line was already very long, and the people were scattered due to physical reasons

Fortunately, there was only one way up the mountain, and they didn't have to worry about the people behind them not finding their way to the Ten Thousand Buddhas. However, Qin Yining's long hair on his sideburns was already wet with sweat.

Looking up, in the middle of the mountain, sheltered by trees, it was already difficult to see how far away it was from the top, as if this rugged mountain road would never end.

"Come on." As soon as Qin Yining lowered his head, he saw Xiao Xiao squatting in front of him with his back to him.

"Come up, I'll carry you."

Qin Yining shook his head and gently patted Xiao Xiao's back with his bare hand, "No, although I'm a little tired, it's not difficult to persevere." When I can't walk anymore, it's not too late for you to carry it. ”

Xiao Xiao was a little disappointed, looked back at the direction of the mountain, and could vaguely see the figure of Huzi carrying rock candy through the branches and leaves of the trees, and Jiyun and Tang Xiu had fallen farther away.

"Okay." Xiao Xiao sighed, took Qin Yining's hand and stepped up a relatively clean gentle slope, "It's a pity that your physical strength is so good." ”

Qin Yining was stunned for a moment before he understood what he wanted to express, and his face couldn't help but become hotter and hotter, and secretly pinched his arm and pinched it, causing him to laugh.

There was silence in the mountains, and their ranks had dispersed again, and the laughter of the owls could be heard far away in the mountains.

"But the Prince of Zhongshun?"

Suddenly, a female voice faintly came from a distance.

Qin Yining's footsteps were all stunned when he heard the sound.

The voice was very familiar, but Qin Yining couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.

Xiao Xiao approached Qin Yining and whispered in a low voice, "I sound like a queen." ”

"Queen?" Qin Yining was stunned.

Xiao Xiao turned around and gestured to Mu Jinghu at hand.

Mu Jinghu was awe-inspiring, immediately bowed his head, and quietly withdrew from a bush that was not easy to be noticed to go up the mountain, and the four of them walked quickly behind Qin Yining, with a look of defensiveness in their eyes.

Seeing that Mu Jinghu had already hidden in the dark according to their previous agreement, Xiao Xiao raised his voice and asked suspiciously: "Dare to ask who is here again?" ”

"Is it really Prince Zhongshun? The slave is the person next to the queen, and the queen is here! ”

Qin Yining was shocked when she heard this, how could the queen be here?

Xiao Xiao took Qin Yining's hand and took the four of them to the source of the sound.

After walking for a while, a gentle slope of about two feet appeared in front of me, and on the platform, the queen was resting in the shade of the roadside trees with her grandmother Sun and a guard.

Xiao Xiao hurriedly took Qin Yining's hand and walked forward to salute: "The minister has seen the queen mother. ”

"No courtesy." The queen touched the sweat on her forehead and said curiously, "Why are you here?" ”

Qin Yining sensitively noticed that the queen's tone seemed to be different from the usual high-mindedness, and her tone and demeanor when she spoke to Xiao Xiao now were like the housewife of an ordinary family, dignified and close.

Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "Back to Niangniang, the minister saw that the weather was improving, and his heart was very happy, so he took his daughter-in-law out for a walk." I heard that there is a temple of ten thousand Buddhas on this Juhuang Mountain, which is very effective, so I came to take a look. ”

Without a trace, he had already explored the surroundings, and thought for a while: "The queen is also here to play?" ”

The queen shook her head tiredly: "The palace is here to pray for the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple." It's just that the palace is not the right time to come, the mountain road is difficult to walk, not to mention, the original palace is also prepared a sedan chair to send the palace up the mountain, but the sedan chair suddenly fell to the bottom halfway, almost fell the palace down the cliff, in order to save, the palace brought the effective guard also broke his leg, the palace had to order to go down the mountain to send the guard for treatment, the guard could not walk, followed by the four small chamberlains to take turns to carry him, I don't know what happened now. ”

Xiao Xiao said respectfully: "The queen mother prays for the people, and her sincerity is really moving." ”

When he was about to talk to the queen, he lowered his head according to the number of rites, and his respectful posture was unobstructed. It's just that his hand has always been holding Qin Yining behind his back, as if Qin Yining is his most cherished treasure, and he can't let go for a moment.

When the queen saw that she treated Qin Yining very strictly, there was an indescribable sourness spreading in her heart.

Let's see how Xiao Xiao treats Qin Yining?

How many years has her husband not held her hand?
