There was some news floating out of the palace sporadically, saying that the princess was crying, saying that she was going to follow the prince to the Stygian Mountains.

No one dared to talk about this, the burden of leading the troops to the Stygian Mountains did not fall on them, they didn't know how lucky they were, they escaped, how could they dare to speak up?

In Feng Xue City, Zhao Ci also had a headache, and he originally agreed with Shen Baiyan to invite him to come to Feng Snow City for a few days to fight for a few days, and he also fought for a lot of benefits. But now, it is obvious that Shen Baiyan can't wait.

The envoy sent by the advance of the northern country repeatedly asked Shen Baiyan, it seemed that there was no Shen Baiyan here, and he was not willing to talk about business, Zhao Ci was most annoyed by these calculations, and after Zhao Yan came, he pushed all this work to his son, and ended up at ease.

Zhao Yan was so busy that he could only squeeze out time to go back to the room to drink saliva, and he had to deal with the old father who suddenly appeared and chatted with him.

"Shen Baiyan, that kid, did you really agree to go to the Stygian Mountains?" Zhao Ci dug out a jar of wine that Zhao Yan had privately hidden, and he had already drunk most of it, and the room was full of the aroma of wine, which made Zhao Yan feel distressed.

"What can be done. The emperor can be regarded as taking advantage of the trend this time, and it is effortless. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, except for a few who were close to the palace, were afraid that the errand would fall to their own homes, so they hurriedly pushed it out. Zhao Yan picked up the jar with one hand and poured a sip, and the provincial Zhao Ci drank it all, and he didn't have a drop left.

Zhao Ci saw him take a sip, and hurriedly took the wine jar back, listened to Zhao Yan smack his lips, and said: "It's better for me to exchange with him, this northerner of Laoshizi, it's better for him to deal with it." ”

"How can the emperor give up?" Zhao Ci laughed very disdainfully, "You are a general under him, wouldn't it be a pity if you folded in a place like the Stygian Ridge." ”

"Dad, you don't seem to look down on the emperor." Zhao Yan wiped the wine stains on the side of his mouth and said.

Zhao Ci didn't speak, Zhao Yan acquiesced, touched the bracer made by Zhao Huang on his wrist, and said a little stiffly: "Then why do you have to send your sister to the palace." ”

"Who is a girl to marry and not to marry? Now that she is the mother of the country and pregnant, what's wrong? Zhao Ci heard the disapproval in Zhao Yan's tone, so he refuted.

Although Zhao Yan is a concubine, his biological mother died early, and he grew up beside Mrs. Yan since he was a child, and his relationship with several younger sisters has always been very good.

"The emperor seems to like to use women as rafts." An elegant figure flashed in Zhao Yan's mind, he skimmed off this picture, and said to Zhao Ci: "In the future, if there is something in our family that does not go his way, wouldn't it be ......

"Then you can fight harder." Zhao Ci interrupted Zhao Yan's words impatiently.

After not speculating for more than half a sentence, Zhao Yan got up with a little anger and said to Zhao Ci: "Isn't the prince angry enough?" I'm afraid it's too competitive, right? ”

"You!" Zhao Ci told his son to be speechless.

I saw Zhao Yan bow and said, "My son still has something to do, so please take care of yourself." ”

Before Zhao Ci could speak, Zhao Yan strode away, so angry that he drank the rest of the wine and didn't leave half a drop for Zhao Yan.

The days of Syracuse are not very happy, and the capital is no exception.

After the emperor ate the closed-door soup in the Kunning Palace, he cheapened the daughter of the Cui family, and it was the most favored two concubines in this month. Cui Concubine was promoted to Concubine Cui, and Cui Meiren got a title, Ling. said that the emperor liked her clever energy.

People who know this meaning are just that, if they don't know, they think that the emperor scolding Cui Meiren is a joke.

Shen Baiyan was going to lead the troops to set off in two days, and Song Zhi cried and begged the Queen Mother, saying that he would also go together. The Empress Dowager Jia'an held the shelf of the world with her mother's ceremony, and always persuaded Song Zhi with kind words, telling Song Zhi not to go.

When Song Zhi was leaving, he said slowly, "The two of you are deeply in love, Meng is not out of focus, there are many things, others can't be your master, let's watch it yourself." ”

Song Zhi cried with joy, she was almost helped into the carriage, she lay on the soft collapse for a long time, she didn't move, the grandmother beside the Empress Dowager Jia'an said: "Yo, what's wrong with the princess?" ”

"Xu is tired of crying, it's okay." Meteor said, closing the carriage door. It wasn't until the carriage drove out of the imperial city that she patted Song Zhi on the shoulder.

Song Zhi snorted lightly twice, but still closed her eyes and didn't wake up, the tears in the corners of her eyes condensed into tear crystals, and Meteor knew that she was really weak.

The carriage was big and spacious, rickety, and slowly, Song Zhi slept very soundly along the way, and when he woke up, he was on the soft pillow of the high bed, and when he turned his face, he saw Shen Baiyan sitting at the table reading the letter.

She just moved her fingertips, and Shen Baiyan looked over, her eyes calm and gentle, "Woke up?" ”

Song Zhi couldn't help laughing, and said with a little grievance: "I'm so tired from acting." ”

Shen Baiyan walked over, Song Zhi got up from the bed, and threw himself into his arms, and the two snuggled up to each other, until a few children shouted that they were hungry and wanted to eat snacks, and Meteor came to ask Song Zhi, saying that some guys in the small kitchen had packed up everything, and some complicated food could not be done.

Now there are only red bean glutinous rice cakes and crispy fried slots, Song Zhi thought that the fried things were too hot, so he asked for red bean glutinous rice cakes and a pot of osmanthus tea.

While the children were eating, Song Zhi whispered to Ru'er, "Ru'er, can you see your father's letter?" ”

Ru'er ate the glutinous rice cake, nodded, and said, "Look." ”

"So what do you think? Whether to stay in Beijing, or to go to the west, if you go elsewhere with your aunt, you can also do it. "Although Song Zhi is willing to take Confucianism with him to raise him, the Lin family will definitely not allow it, and the Stygian Ridge is not a good place to visit the mountains and rivers and recuperate in the eyes of everyone.

But for the sake of Confucianism, Song Zhi was willing to resist the resentment of the Lin family.

Ru'er didn't think about it for a long time, as if he had already thought about it, he said to Song Zhi like a little adult: "Auntie, I want to go to my father's side." ”

When the barbarian heard Ru'er say this, he glanced at Ru'er quite reluctantly, and said lightly: "Brother." ”

Ru'er turned her face to look at Man'er, and said to Man'er with great certainty: "Sister Man'er, don't be sad, we will meet again in the future." ”

Chu Ji didn't know whether he understood or didn't understand, so he opened his mouth and said to Ru'er: "Brother, don't go." ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, but when he says it, Song Zhi's heart is sour, and his eyes are hot.

Ru'er has experienced so many things at a young age, but her temperament has not only not become eccentric, but more stable and proper, and sometimes mature people feel distressed.

Song Zhi touched Ru'er's head with pity, and said to him: "Then I will let Sister Water Chestnut escort you all the way to the Western Realm, and you can choose a few more people to serve you together." ”

Ru'er thought for a while and said, "Mother Jin is old, I don't want her to run around on the road, my aunt can choose a few good ones for me, and Mother Jin asked her to stay at home and watch some for me." ”

What do you look at? Song Zhi was slightly stunned, but did not break it.

She knew that Ru'er had a steady mind, and although she didn't have the intention of harming others, she always had to have a heart to guard against others, so she didn't dwell on this, and only ordered people to prepare what Ru'er would use on the road.

"Thinking, I'd better go and talk to my mother in person, right?" Song Zhi sat beside Shen Baiyan with a cup of osmanthus tea.

Shen Baiyan took the teacup and said, "It's reasonable for you to say something, but there must be nothing good to say." Ruohui's family letter should mention that if you want to take Ru'er to the West, you don't necessarily have to go on this trip. ”

Shen Baiyan's words are all right, but Song Zhi still led Ru'er back in the end, and in the future, she will go to the Stygian Mountains with Shen Baiyan, and I don't know when she will be able to come back to meet the Lin family.

The Lin family was still lukewarm, and when she learned that Song Zhi was going south with Shen Baiyan, she glanced at Song Zhi more, and wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back, and only pulled Ru'er to tell some trivial things.

The atmosphere was very boring, and at this moment, the cry of a child suddenly came from the house, and after a while, Roucui took out a white doll. Song Zhi smiled when he saw it, and called, "Plunder." ”

This is Song Zhi's little brother.

Qian'er can already recognize people, he hasn't seen Song Zhi many times, but he is very affectionate with her, struggling to ask Song Zhi to hug him, the meat doll has a lot of strength, and Roucui almost can't hold him.

As soon as he arrived in Song Zhi's arms, he settled down, and obediently poked the Zhucui on Song Zhi's temples to play, Meteor was worried that Zhu'er would pull out Zhucui and hurt himself, but Qian'er didn't either, just touched it gently.

Ru'er said seriously: "Uncle is good." ”

"Huh!" Plunder responded.

"Tian'er entered the palace, you went south with the prince, and now Ru'er is also going to Ruohui's side, and I and Zhu'er will be in this mansion." Lin Shi looked at Song Zhi and Zhu'er getting along well, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously smiled, but he said gloomily.

Song Zhi has always been a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, and the Lin family used to scold her and scold her, but it was not as good as today's gentle sentence, and a sense of guilt came to her heart.

However, the Lin family smiled brightly in the next moment, and said to Song Zhi: "I wrote to your father, saying that I want to take Qian'er to the west to accompany him for a while, and it is not good for Qian'er to see his father when he is old." ”

Song Zhi couldn't react a little, and asked, "Daddy agreed?" ”

"Hmm." Lin nodded and said with a smile: "In the past, I was lazy, and I felt that the western realm was barren. But your father said that the western realm is much better now, although he lives in the army all the year round, but in the western realm, there is also a general's mansion. ”

This happened suddenly, which made Song Zhi a little overwhelmed, but when he thought about it, it was not a bad thing.

Under the rule of Song Ling, the western realm is indeed not as good as before.

Song Zhi thought about it for a while, and then said, "Then I'll ask the prince to send more people to send the three of you together." ”

"Lord Wang, do you still have extra thoughts to care about us now?" Lin finally revealed some of his mother's worries.

Song Zhi's eyes turned red inexplicably, and she almost told the truth, but there were many people here in the Lin family, so she stopped talking, and just said, "This matter can still be done." ”

Lin nodded slowly, and said softly, "Do you want to go to the Western Realm with me?" With your dad here, nothing will happen. ”
