That night, Xu Yuan had just rested for an hour, and the fireworks in the neighborhood had not yet filled, so someone came to the palace and knocked on the door for a long time, waking up the hangover Xu Shu from his dream. Vertices

Xu Bao was about to put on his clothes to ask, but the little maid ran to say that the emperor urgently summoned Hanlin to revise and edit into the palace to draft, and the little concubine was dreaming, and she was flustered by the quarrel of the little maid, and she sighed.

Xu Mian was still a little unconscious, thinking that it was not unusual for the emperor to summon Xiu into the palace, and suddenly thought of going to the Ministry of Rites to order Mao, but he looked like a man of all kinds and had to be teased by Hao Tingmei and the three of them when he went to the Ministry of Rites, so he asked the steward to go to the duty room for him to take leave, closed the door and fell asleep.

When he slept until three o'clock in the morning, Xu Bao woke up from his sleep, drank a bowl of clear soup with his concubine, and the servant took a horse and put it in front of the door.

At this time, a group of children running under the big locust tree diagonally opposite the door ran by, and while frolicking, they said that the adults of the family took the sedan chair and entered the palace before dawn, and which lady of the Hou Mansion and the wife of the General's Mansion dressed up and hurriedly entered the palace under the guidance of the Yellow Gate.

Compared with the children in other provinces, there are always people in some places who have the ability to catch the shadows, and the adults say that they are chasing the wind and shadows, but Xu Bao has been in the row this year, and he feels that they are more accurate than asking about them.

After thinking for a while with his face on his face, Xu Bao instructed the steward to prepare the carriage and horse to go to the Li Mansion.

Master Li had a hearty drink with him last night, and he must have been hungover, so it must be safest to go to the mansion to find him at this time.

……

When the pomegranate flowers in the capital were blooming, all parts of the country were thinking about how to spend the poisonous moon comfortably, and Ruan Miaoling and his party had left Ganzhou and arrived at the boundary of Suiyan.

On this day, I was about to go to the Suiyan Station, but the sun was scorching, and the cattle were hungry and thirsty, and they refused to go even if they were beaten with sticks and whips.

"Mother, it's better to rest here for the time being, let the horses and mules eat the forage, and then pull them to the stream to drink enough water, and then let's go." Ruan Miaoling was covered with an apricot yellow orchid long armor, the pleated skirt was made of silk from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and her feet were dangling on the carriage with small shoes.

Princess Baozhen practiced martial arts, and the weather was the same when it was cold and hot, and the Qin Jie, Jinyi Guard, and soldiers outside were all like this, but on the way, Ruan Miaoling, Wen'er, and Runxiang were followed by two and a half big girls, and she couldn't help but think about it more.

Princess Baozhen called Huang Liang and said, "Huang Ba took a break from the carriage and led the two horses and mules to the stream to drink water. There is no shop in front of the village here, and there is no one to think of, so I will build a stove on the spot and deal with it for a while, and then eat something good when I get to the post station. ”

Huang Liang took the order to go down, Princess Baozhen got off the carriage first, and when Runxiang and Wen'er helped Ruan Miaoling down, they took them to the shade of the tree to rest.

About half an hour later, the sky suddenly changed, there were signs of rolling thunder and rain, and the dirt road was full of flying sand and rocks.

Seeing this, the 50 Ruan Jiajun who accompanied him hurriedly fetched the tent from the car and nailed it in a spacious place.

Qiu Daqian wiped the dust on his face, watched them prepare the tent in good condition, and rode to the Qin Steps, who went out to the mountainside to find the fruits.

"Miaoling is not afraid, wait an hour or two, there is a rain in the sky, and we can hurry." Princess Baozhen protected Ruan Miaoling in her arms, and her words were plain but very gentle.

If Ruan Miaoling looked up at this time, she would definitely be able to see Princess Baozhen frowning and observing the sky.

"It's only May, Suiyan is a dry place, and my father said that the rain in this kind of place only falls for a while before stopping, how can my mother say that there will be an hour or two?"

Princess Baozhen put her hand on Ruan Miaoling's forehead and said: "Seeing that May is almost over, the face of the doll in June, the climate in various places is sometimes the same as that of livestock, so that people have no way to take it, and it is happy to see it." ”

Ruan Miaoling rarely saw foreign customs in the past, all she knew was from books, or heard from people, and she didn't feel deeply, but now she really feels the difference, and she feels very happy.

Princess Baozhen asked her to go back to the tent to shelter from the rain, and she agreed, still standing behind the tree and watching the scene of sand and stones rolling across the dirt road, which was more fascinating than watching a play.

"Look, the sand and gravel here are different from those in Ruyang!"

Huang Ba came back from the stream, thinking about what Ruan Miaoling didn't play on the road, and saw that the stones in the water were all full and round, some were the size of emerald quail eggs, and some were milky white, and a few were like red flames, which looked very hot, and he found it interesting for a man, so he picked up a large handful.

"I know that Miss likes it, my subordinates should pick up a basket and come back, and when they settle down in the capital, dig a pond in the house, throw the stones down, and feed some red carp, it's beautiful!"

Wen'er looked at Huang Ba's smirk, and wanted to choke him, but she thought that his idea was good, and she could think of the fish swimming in the pool and the stones shining in the water when she closed her eyes, so she dispelled the idea and did not forget to praise Huang Ba for his good looks.

Ruan Miaoling picked an emerald stone to play with in her hand, the stone surface was smooth and without edges and corners, it was very cold and pleasant, she was happy for a while, and she no longer looked at the flying sand and stones, and went back to the tent to enjoy the play with Princess Baozhen.

"I knew you liked it so much, my mother dug up the stones in the whole sea when she was in Qinghai Wei, and raised them with water in Xifu, and you were born to raise fish, and when you can run and talk, I will take you to see it every day, and then ask the painter to teach you to paint, it is really a fairy-like day!"

Ruan Miaoling's eyes widened when she heard Princess Baozhen talk about Qinghai Qingwei.

The stones in Suiyan are already so good-looking, aren't the stones in Qinghai Weihai comparable to the colorful stones that refine stones and make up the sky?

"Mother, is the sea of Qinghai Wei very big? Is it because the sea is so big that the Tartars' homes are flooded that they are always thinking about robbing our land? ”

Princess Baozhen looked at her daughter's innocent eyes and laughed a few times.

For unknown things, Miao Ling always has a spirit of wanting to know clearly, which is neither like her nor Ruan Yanliang...... It's like Miaoling's maternal grandfather.

Princess Baozhen stopped Ruan Miaoling, recalling the experience of fighting in the northwest when she was young, and at the same time telling her about Qinghai Wei.

"There is an end to the sea there, but you can't see the edge from the shore, and if you walk along the coast, you can go to the other side. The Tartars do not live on the sea, they also have a homeland, and they also have land to cultivate, but their homeland is not as rich as ours...... If the Great Song Dynasty was not the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning, only the current territory of the Tartars would also make the same actions as them. ”

Ruan Miaoling listened quietly, raised her head and asked, "If it's because of this, is what they're doing right?" ”

Princess Baozhen said: "They think it is right, because they are Tatars, and they also have a family country behind them. But for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they are foreigners, and they can threaten the life and death of everyone in the Great Song Dynasty at all times, and what they do is wrong...... Niang is also a child of the Great Song Dynasty, so she will go into battle to kill the enemy and defend the territory. ”
