Chapter 246: Sending Off
On the day of Beichen Xu's departure, Xue Hainiang personally sent him off.
When I went to the Northern Dynasty, there was no majestic and majestic army escort, and there was no waiter to serve in a sedan chair.
In front of the Qingdeng Ancient Temple, the autumn wind is swaying, the red maple is fluttering, except for the two brothers and sisters of Beichen, the no-method master who has a deep friendship with Beichen Xu, Xue Hainiang and his Nan Shuke, there is no superfluous person to send each other.
On the blue mud stone slab, Lin Yan and Beichen Xu walked with two thin horses, and behind the two, the first one was General Da Hui, who was responsible for escorting Beichen Xu back to the dynasty, and after General Da Hui, there were more than 20 soldiers wearing strong armor.
Nan Shuke wore a blue Shu brocade cloud pattern robe, with a luxurious and elegant style, walked in front of Beichen Xu, raised his hand to caress the sideburns of the red and black horse, and smiled lightly, "This past year, Beichen cherishes." β
Beichen Xu bowed his hand to him, "Thank you Shuke for your kindness over the years, if he is in trouble with Shuke in the future, this palace will do its best to help." β
Lin Yan walked over with a horse with slightly gray-brown sideburns, he grinned at Xue Hainiang, and said quite vigorously: "Girl, can you ride a horse?" Without waiting for Xue Hainiang's reply, he continued: "Next time you come to my northern country, the master will teach you personally." β
Xue Hainiang raised her lips, and her eyes were full of a smile, "It's not your turn to teach it personally, the little girl in your mouth is a must." β
In the Southern Dynasties, women were not good at equestrianism, not as good as the Northern Dynasties, and most of the women were heroic and straightforward, and it became common for them to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies. The Southern Dynasty is mountainous and watery, and the women are also gentle and tender, and most of the daughters of the Gaomen only learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, cooking and female red, and a few Jiangmen families allow women to practice martial arts and horsemanship.
And Xue Hainiang, before entering the palace, was the daughter of a scholar, the daughter of a civil official, and after entering the palace, she was only a female official serving in front of the palace, so she shouldn't know how to ride a horse.
It stands to reason that Lin Yan's speculation is also somewhat reasonable, but he never imagined that after Xue Hainiang was the emperor in his last life, Nan Jiuxi was diligent in practicing martial arts and dabbling, and as the only queen behind him, he had to cater to his preferences. Therefore, Xue Hainiang asked a military general to teach her horsemanship and some basic hand and foot kung fu in her last life.
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows, as if he was very surprised, but after a while, he smiled, "If Hainiang comes to my Lin Mansion in the future, she will be a guest." β
Arching his hand and performing the etiquette of a child of the rivers and lakes, Lin Yan took the reins and left.
Everyone left, and in a blink of an eye, only Nan Shuke and Xue Hainiang, who came to see each other, were left.
"The daughters of the Southern Dynasty rarely know equestrianism, and your father is a civilian, which is rareβ"
Nan Shuke teased, obviously, he heard everything that Xue Hainiang said to Lin Yan.
These words fell into Xue Hainiang's ears, but they were a little more tentative, she squinted her eyes slightly, and she pondered for a while before explaining: "It's just that I learned some fur from the military department squire who had dealings with my father when I was a child." β
With Xue Hainiang's usual temperament, she could have ignored it, but Nan Shuke's question really hit the most secret place in her heart, and she was a little flustered in her heart, and she subconsciously explained.
After greetings, the two returned to the temple unconsciously. Xue Hainiang and Nan Shuke's residences are very different, and they parted ways halfway.
In the meditation room, Liang Bairou was still wearing a middle coat and a mink wool, sitting in front of the cradle, comforting the swaddling baby with a soft voice, and the nurse and Qingfeng were serving on the side.
Liang Bairou saw that she was coming from the dust, and waved away Qingfeng and the nurse without saying a word.
After the two of them retreated, Liang Bai Roufang raised her eyebrows lightly and said jokingly: "You personally send each other, has His Royal Highness Beichen ever promised you a future?"
Although she had been prepared for a long time, she had really heard it with her own ears, and Xue Hainiang still couldn't help but be stunned.
Although she took into account the relationship with the prince of Beichen in the past, she didn't need to send her off in person at this time, the reason why this was so was nothing more than that Liang Bairou encouraged her to send her off today when she talked to her yesterday, and spread out their feelings for each other.
It's an eventful time.
After Liang Bairou gave birth to the imperial heir, the rift between her and her was eased, and she couldn't tell the other party at this time that she had made up all the things in the past.
That's why there is a scene of Xue Hainiang's send-off today.
At this time, she had to pretend to be ashamed and bow her head, "The future will be discussed in the future." β
Liang Bairou saw her like this. He laughed but didn't say anything.
"You and I have been bothering here for a long time, you can pick up the two days, and then return to the palace in a while," she said this, her head hung slightly, and her long, curly black eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the look in her eyes that could not be exposed.
"Good. Xue Hainiang knelt down from the little prince's side, carefully looking at his eyebrows that gradually overlapped with Nan Jiuxi.
"This child is like the emperor. The corners of Xue Hainiang's lips raised slightly, but she couldn't tell her joy and anger.
Liang Bairou didn't notice her expression, only glanced at it lightly and finally fell on the swaddling baby. "Yes, the emperor will be very happy to come. β
Xue Hainiang looked at Liang Bairou, her expression was indescribably indifferent and cold. "When I return to the palace this time, does Concubine De have a plan to deal with it?"
She is called 'Concubine De', which is to remind Liang Bairou that she is now standing in a high position that is walking on thin ice and on the cusp.
The fact that she gave birth to a prince must be known to everyone in the palace.
Come to think of it, those who are jealous and hateful, deliberately stumbling or stumbling, have already thought out their plans and waited for them to return to the palace.
Liang Bairou also had a pale face, "Concubine Xue Xian has a deep grudge with you and me, if you really want to get rid of a strong opponent, this person is undoubtedly Concubine Xue Xian." If this is the case, it is not known whether it will make others benefit from being a 'fisherman's profit'. If we join forces with Concubine Xue Xian to get rid of Concubine Xiao Guifei, not to mention that this person has a holy heart, we really don't know the emperor's intentions......"
After all, Concubine Xiao is no better than Xue Qiaoling, who has no foundation and is based in the palace just by giving birth to the imperial heir. The power of the mother's family behind Xiao Guifei is extraordinary, putting this aside, if the emperor has no intention of belittleing the Xiao family, even if she exhausts her efforts, it will be difficult to completely pull Xiao Guifei off the horse.
Xue Hainiang explained the current situation one by one, "Concubine Xue Xian still has a son under her knees, and she is young, if she falls, the emperor is very likely to pass the prince to Xiao Guifei's knees, so it will help Xiao Guifei." At that time, Sister Liang will have to look up to people all day long. β
Liang Bairou's face is like a vegetable, and he used to only look at how beautiful he was in the concubine position. He was bent on giving birth to an heir and climbing up, but now he really climbed to the position he wanted, but he was afraid that the enemy would stab him all day long.
Fear and uneasiness enveloped her, as if there was not a single slit for her to breathe.
"Hai Niang, what do you think? You have always been transparent, you must have a way, right? Liang Bairou clutched Xue Hainiang's delicate and cool fingertips, as if the jade finger that could be broken at the slightest break became the driftwood that finally supported her.
