"Yao'er, do you like this?" Huerhe probed her body and asked her softly.

Xia Muyao's face turned even redder, but she nodded slightly.

There was a hustle and bustle in this palace, but this hall was as quiet as water, Xia Muyao was in Huerhe's arms, her little face gradually turned into the color of peach blossoms, and she reminded in a low voice: "Don't mess with my hair." ”

When Huerhe heard this, he smiled lightly, then sat up and hugged Yao'er on his body, "This way you won't mess up your hair." ”

Xia Muyao and Huerhe looked at each other quietly, as if they wanted to see each other in each other's hearts, but this strange place made them more and more intimate.

****

When a love affair was over, when Xia Muyao got out of bed, her body was a little sore, she lowered her head, the peach color on her face had not faded, she and Huerhe could burn together anytime and anywhere, which really made her ashamed.

But she couldn't refuse him.

Walking out of the palace, Xia Muyao softened step by step, Huerhe looked down at her, and then picked her up with a smile, "Yao'er, your little body is really like a dough kneading." ”

Xia Muyao leaned against Huerhe and said in an unhappy tone: "According to your tossing method, it's good that I don't die." ”

Burst. Huerhe couldn't help laughing, and then said in Xia Muyao's ear: "Then I'll take it easy in the future." ”

Xia Muyao pouted and didn't say anything more, she didn't believe Huerhe at all.

Huerhe hugged Xia Muyao like this, and when she was about to arrive at the banquet hall, she was put down in full view, and they still needed to restrain their overly intimate behavior.

Because there were many important ministers of the court and the central government at the banquet in the evening, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was much more serious than that at lunchtime, and everyone sat down in their seats, just waiting for the order of the king of Beihu

Next, singing and dancing, drinking and talking.

Xia Muyao straightened her waist, because she was tired, her appetite was not very good, and she was full after a few bites. But the dinner party was long before it ended, and she couldn't sit like this all the time, it was really annoying.

So, eating and stopping, pretending to enjoy the singing and dancing very seriously, this dinner party is really long and endless. And what did these courtiers say happily, Xia Muyao didn't take it to heart at all, in addition to watching the song and dance, she occasionally turned her head to look at Huerhe, such a boring dinner, he was calm, and he looked happy.

Occasionally looking at himself, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were smiling and teasing, which made Xia Muyao can't help but think of the lingering scene just now, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and glanced at him.

After the dinner, it's time to see the moon.

Moon viewing is what Xia Muyao has always liked, but the night is too cold, standing on the high platform, the autumn wind blows, and she can't help shrinking her body.

was shrinking, but Qiu Lian had already sent the cloak.

"You're careful." Xia Muyao put on her cloak, and instantly warmed up a lot, and couldn't help but whisper to Qiu Lian.

"Don't dare to hide it from the princess, it was brought by the maid before King Yan left, I heard that the autumn wind is cold at night, the princess is weak, and the wind cold has not healed, don't freeze again." Qiu Lian hurriedly explained in a whisper.

Xia Muyao listened, a smile was fixed on the corner of her mouth, Huerhe, she really thought about her thoughtfully.

On the high platform, the men admired the moon and discussed politics, and talked about the general trend of the world. On the other hand, the ladies admired the moon and talked about homely things, what makeup is popular in Beijing, whose clothes are chic, what tunes are popular in the opera garden, and what new works have the romantic literati made...... It's a lot of fun.

Xia Muyao didn't dare to be interested in these topics, she picked a relatively quiet place, looking up at the starry sky, the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival was like a silver plate, and the mysterious lines distributed on the moon, she couldn't help but imagine that it was the outline of the Moon Palace. Chang'e has been cold and alone in the Moon Palace for thousands of years, how did she survive that loneliness?

Thinking of this, Xia Muyao reached out and touched the cloak on her body, once she was like that Chang'e, living in the cold corner of the palace, and later with Zhao Yuanting by her side, the cold feeling was still not reduced. But now that she has been with Huerhe for a long time, she gradually can't feel the coldness.

She is ice, but Huerhe wants to make that fire and slowly melt her.

"It seems that I am luckier than you after all, and I have not been cold all the time." Xia Muyao looked up at the moon and said secretly in her heart.

****

It was not until the time of Hai that the moon appreciation was completed, and everyone said goodbye to the king and queen of Beihu one by one and left the palace.

It wasn't until she sat in the carriage that Xia Muyao breathed a sigh of relief. At the end of the day, she really felt tired, and she just wanted to go back early to rest.

At first, she was still sitting upright in the carriage, and after walking for a while, she could not stand it anymore, and fell asleep in the carriage.

When he arrived at the palace, Huerhe got off the horse and called in front of Xia Muyao's carriage, there was no sound in the carriage, Huerhe felt that Yao'er should be asleep, he lifted the curtain, and sure enough, he saw Xia Muyao leaning on the side of the carriage and falling asleep.

He picked Yao'er off the carriage and went all the way from the mansion gate to the dormitory, but Xia Muyao never woke up. Huerhe smiled, she was really sleepy.

It wasn't until he returned to the dormitory that Huerhe took off Xia Muyao's coat, Xia Muyao felt that her body suddenly relaxed in a daze, and she couldn't help but snort comfortably, and fell asleep comfortably on the bed.

Huerhe sat on the edge of the bed, carefully took off the ornaments in her hair one by one, put down her bun, and looked at Xia Muyao's sleeping little face from the back, which was distressing.

was looking at it, but Xia Muyao reached out and touched the position beside her in a dream, and after touching the air, Xia Muyao's brows furrowed slightly, like a wronged child, Huerhe saw this, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and held Xia Muyao's little hand.

After holding Huerhe's hand, Xia Muyao's brows unfolded, and she fell asleep peacefully.

She is attached to him, because of her personality on weekdays, she has never shown it too much, and the subconscious in her sleep is her true thoughts, Huerhe's heart is almost full of joy.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and Huerhe and Xia Muyao stayed in Huyuanzhu's house for two more days before leaving.

Before leaving, the old princess took Xia Muyao's hand and was reluctant, the more she looked at it, the more she liked this daughter-in-law. Mu Qi also told her to come to Yuanjing often in the future, and Xia Muyao responded one by one, smiling slightly and saying goodbye to them.

Compared to a few days ago, she developed a family-like affection for them.

"If you have time, your sister-in-law can also take your grandma to Yancheng together, and I will take you around Yancheng." Xia Muyao said to the two.

Huerhe, who was on the side, heard that Xia Muyao finally called out Grandma, and couldn't help but smile on his face, and echoed in a loud voice: "What Yao'er said is true." ”

"Yao'er is young, He'er, you must take good care of her, if she becomes pregnant one day, you must also send someone to inform Grandma, Grandma will come to see you, waiting for my grandson to land." The old princess said to Huerhe.

Hearing the old princess mention the child, Xia Muyao was ashamed. Huerhe answered and laughed loudly.

The family talked for a while in front of the door, and then said goodbye.

After getting into the carriage, Xia Muyao stretched out her head and waved to the old princess and Mu Qi for a while, until she couldn't see it, and then sat back in the carriage.

"This little girl is really painful." The old princess couldn't help but sigh when she saw that Xia Muyao's carriage was far away, after getting along for a few days, she was a little reluctant to let her go.

Dakang.

Zhao Yuanting gradually approached the border with a team of men. Every few days, Zhang Yaxian will pass on the things in the imperial city to him. He always had a high flag with red flowers on a black background, which was a signal for carrier pigeons.

There is nothing new in the imperial city, Shuo'er is in the palace, and occasionally news comes that everything is fine. The matter of the crown prince Zhao Yuanping's filthy harem gradually passed, and he slowly eased up from his cautious state, regained his complacency, and secretly enveloped his own forces.

Because of Zhao Yuanping's position as the crown prince, many people also followed him, because no matter how much courage and qualifications he lacked, he was still the heir to the throne. It doesn't hurt to be nice to him.

And most of those who secretly care about Zhao Yuanting are also quiet, they do not reject Zhao Yuanping, anyway, the means of dealing with different people are different, since Zhao Yuanping likes to be flattered, then they can hold the moon with the stars and make him happy.

But as long as one day, Zhao Yuanting gives an order, then they will do their best to support Zhao Yuanting to win the world of Dakang.

Zhao Yuanting, who was thousands of miles away, after reading Zhang Yaxian's letter with secret words, tied a green silk thread to the pigeon's foot to indicate that everything was fine.

"How many days are you left to get to Beihu?" On this day, Zhao Yuanting asked the adjutant beside him.

"According to the Vanguards, it will be almost to the border in about six days." The adjutant replied.

Zhao Yuanting nodded, and he didn't find anything abnormal along the way, and he didn't know if he would find anything if he went further. A place that kills 500 people will eventually leave a trail.

Beihu, official road.

Huerhe and his entourage traveled on the road for two days, and they gradually got closer to Yancheng. Huerhe was not in a hurry to go back, anyway, it was rare for Xia Muyao to come out with him, and he wanted to take her to a few more places.

This way will pass by two cities, when I came, because I was in a hurry, neither city stayed, when I went back, Huerhe wanted to take Xia Muyao to live in these two cities for one night, to see what was fresh.

Huerhe told Xia Muyao what he thought, and Xia Muyao nodded, anyway, there is nothing important to go back to Yancheng, and it is good to walk around.

So two days later, Huerhe took Xia Muyao to move into the new city.

The new city is a small city, nothing special, even a little lonely, and it doesn't take a while to get from the east to the west of the city. After settling down in the inn, Huerhe took Xia Muyao around the city, except for local snacks, there was nothing to attract Xia Muyao.

But in the end, I slept well at the inn at night. Although the inn is not very flashy, it is much more convenient and comfortable than camping in the wilderness.

The next day, after freshening up and having breakfast, the group returned to the road.
