The carriage drove slowly on the avenue, the wind chimes on the carriage made a pleasant sound with the movement of the carriage, this snow began to fall in the middle of the night, the ground was full of snow, and the wheels pressed on the snow to make a "crunch" sound, which was very textured.

Rong Zhao leaned his head on Xiao Junjue's shoulder, and his heart sank a little bit. When she said goodbye to her father, she had been expecting someone in her heart, but that person did not appear from beginning to end.

didn't even come to see her off.

Did he forget her? Or is it really as Qiushui said, she is just a pawn to be used, and now that she is useless, she can ignore it.

The hand in his sleeve held a wooden comb, which he had stuffed into Xiao Jinyu's hand when she sent her back to the Chu Palace.

In a trance, Rong Zhao accidentally broke the wooden comb and clicked.

The teeth of the wooden comb dug into her palm, and blood beads poured out, and she was annoyed and threw the wooden comb out of the car.

This journey is full of freshness for Rong Zhao, in memory this is her first time out of Beijing, the south is very different from the north, whether it is food or climate, the heavy mood when she just left Changge City was replaced by this novelty, it was no different from an outing for her.

In the past, Emperor Xiao Jing went to Jiangnan twice, but she had no chance to follow, but this time, it was her previous wish.

Although it is not Jiangnan, the scenery of the Great Zhou is limited to a corner of Jiangnan.

The team that followed Xiao Junjue to the vassal was selected by Emperor Xiao Jing from the infantry in Beijing, there were 20,000 people, and the continuous team was like a giant dragon, mighty.

Changge City is not far from Yizhou, but since ancient times, it is difficult for Shu Road to go to the blue sky, twists and turns, it takes a lot of time, this way to come, it took more than half a month, nearly a month.

Seeing that they were about to reach the city of Yizhou, but it was raining heavily and mixed with snow, which was not conducive to the march, they set up camp at the foot of a nearby mountain and entered the city again the next day.

Although Rong Zhao is pampered, there is one good thing, that is, she can gladly accept things like sleeping in a tent.

Otherwise, she would have to be sent to a nearby post station to rest, and she would have to toss again.

It's strange to say, Rong Zhao has always been very hypocritical, just like saying that when she first got married, she thought that the bed in the Chu Palace's house was uncomfortable, and she had to move one from home.

But the makeshift bed in the tent, she didn't reply that it was uncomfortable when she fell asleep.

Maybe it's because the foreign family is the gatekeeper.

It's almost December, which is the coldest time in Shu.

Don't think that the temperature here is higher than that of Changge City, but as soon as he arrived here, Rong Zhao felt that this place was even colder than Changge City.

If the cold wind in the winter of Changge City blows on the face and someone slaps it, then the cold wind in the winter of Shu is like a wet towel whipped on the face.

It's really hard for her, a northerner, to adapt to such a wet and cold climate.

The weather was cold, and they had tents and quilts to live in, but 20,000 soldiers could not take care of it.

Nighthawk went to several nearby towns with a few guards and returned with dozens of sheep, while another group went to a nearby village in exchange for a cart of vegetables.

The sheep is freshly killed and cooked, and when the soldiers saw that there was mutton to eat, they were enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and they all helped to kill and peel the sheep, and specially selected a few lean ones to roast, and the rest were chopped into meat pieces and distributed into more than a dozen pots.

Throw away the seasoning, sprinkle some spicy seeds, boil with water, put the vegetable noodles in it, boil it hot for a while, boil the pot, simmer the water twice, hold a spoon and a big bowl for each person, just the flatbread, and then have another bowl if you can't eat enough.

The spicy seeds of Shu are really worthy of their reputation, and after drinking a few mouthfuls of soup, they are hot and sweaty.

Nighthawk carried a roasted sheep to the prince's tent, and the conditions were limited, only a little oil and condiments were added, but it tasted quite delicious.

I also cooked mutton soup, but it was a small stove that was opened separately, I didn't dare to put spicy seeds, the clear soup was waterless, and I didn't use such a heavy seasoning.

Rong Zhao's nose spirit, "What are you eating outside? ”

The mutton cooked in the big pot outside has floated into the tent, and the big material of peppercorns is enough, anyway, it is the last night, and there is no need to save it, and all the brains are put in.

The taste has entered the meat, dissolved in the soup, and it is very fragrant, and it is almost ten miles away.

Xiao Junjue also smelled the fragrance and looked at Nighthawk.

Nighthawk pursed her lips angrily at the sheep soup they had made for them, "Isn't that it. ”

Rong Zhao sniffed again and said, "No." She asked Qiushui to give Nighthawk a bowl and support Nighthawk, "Go, get me a bowl from their pot." ”

Nighthawk hurriedly said: "What is this, the prince and princess eat are all finely made by the cook, and the ones we eat are all big pot rice, too rough, you can't get used to it." ”

Rong Zhao twisted his eyebrows, "I just care about the deliciousness, you go and get me a bowl." ”

Xiao Junjue said: "Go ahead, get two bowls." He also thought it smelled good.

Seeing that the nighthawk was still there, he hesitated, not happy at all, Rong Zhao directly sent Qiushui to ask for two bowls back.

Qiushui is as sharp as Nighthawk, but there is still a little condition, stretching out two fingers, "Miss, can you ask for two more bowls?"

She smelled it fragrant, and she was about to drool when she was greedy, and by the way, she also asked for a bowl for the lonely bird.

Rong Zhaodu waited impatiently, and waved his hand, "Go quickly, go quickly." ”

Qiushui was so happy that her eyes were crooked with a smile, and she said that she wanted two more bowls, but she took two more bowls, and dragged Gu Yu to ask for them with her.

Nighthawk couldn't help but look at her, and when he saw her greedy appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Qiushui heard his laughter and stared at him, and Nighthawk panicked and hurriedly turned his face away.

Qiushui was stupid, his mouth pursed slightly, his heart was annoyed, and he ran out of the tent.

Xiao Junjue slowly made the leg of mutton, cut it into one by one, and piled a small plate for Rong Zhao to eat. He said as he cut, "Men should be generous." ”

Suddenly, such a sentence came.

Nighthawk looked at him sharply, dumbfounded, to confirm if it was for him.

Xiao Junjue didn't look at him, sighed silently, and stopped talking.

Nighthawk confirmed this time, the prince said it to him.

Qiushui came to ask for mutton soup, but the soldiers were shocked, and a man with a long face hurriedly waved his hand, "Then what?"

The lonely bird pouted at him, "What, you are still reluctant?"

Qiushui looked at the thick pot of mutton soup, and a pair of eyes were staring at the pot tightly, and they were a little anxious, "We don't want much, we need six bowls, and if six bowls don't work, it's okay to give 40,000." ”

The man with a long face said busily: "That's not what I mean, how can I be reluctant." It's just that we're all sharing the food, and then we're going to give it to the princess and princess, it's not—" He looked at the soldiers and brothers sitting around the hot pot.

A soldier answered: "How can there be any reason to let the prince and princess eat with us, we are a big pot of rice, and we are afraid of dirty the prince and princess." ”

"Ahem, you didn't spit in it, you didn't get off the chopsticks to fish, didn't you all use a spoon, what is there to be dirty? Our prince and princess don't have so many rules, hurry up, give us six bowls, and there are still waiting to eat inside. Qiushui pointed at them and joked, "If we starve the little prince in the princess's belly, none of us can afford it." ”

The man with a long face smiled innocently, and said with a smile: "Okay, the prince and princess don't dislike us big bosses, they look up to us, and no one can starve our future little son if they are hungry." ”

Everyone also laughed, and Qiu Shui said: "That's right, in the future, we will be our own family, you and we all came from Changge City to follow the prince, that is, our own people, what is there to pay attention to our own people." She didn't think it was too much, so she said vigorously: "Serve more, give me more." ”

"The girl said well, we are the children of the King of Chu, and we are our own people. The heavy soldier chimed in.

Gluttony also has the benefit of gluttony, Qiushui's unintentional words, but it also made the soldiers outside sigh, look, the prince and princess eat the same as them, what is this called, the military ministers are happy. Lord and Princess, that is a royal noble, which meal does not eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, it is really rare to be able to eat the same as the soldiers.

For a while, these soldiers, who were originally uncertain about the future, seemed to have found the backbone, and it should not be bad to follow such a feudal lord.

Qiushui and Gu Yu quickly brought back six bowls of mutton soup, one bowl per person, and two bowls were left for no one to drink.

Rong Zhao can eat spicy, but he also thinks that the spicy in Shu is really spicy, but the spicy is still fragrant, spicy and spicy, and I want to drink the second sip after tasting it.

However, Xiao Junjue still felt that the taste was too strong, so she didn't let her drink more, just taste it often.

Rong Zhao was quite well-behaved, although he was reluctant, but he still drank his mutton soup that didn't taste so much.

Qiushui and Lonely Crane drank enough, especially Qiushui drank two large bowls, she couldn't sleep at night, and her stomach was comfortable in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, the sky was clear, the blue sky was white clouds, and the sun was warm.

The rest of the last night boiled a few more pots, and the soldiers had eaten and drunk enough to make their way to Yizhou.

After about a few hours, at noon, I finally arrived in Yizhou.

Outside the city gate, officials of all sizes in Yizhou, as well as well-known squires and wealthy merchants in the city came to greet them.

What's even more exaggerated is that there is also a banner, and the red strip of silk is pulled up, and there are golden words on it, which reads "Warmly welcome the King of Chu".

Everyone's face is smiling and almost squeezing out flowers, some are perfunctory, some are flattering, and some are not smiling.

Can you not laugh? This is the lord of one side, what is the lord of the domain, it is the emperor of this side, and he is even more feared than the emperor who is far away in Changge City.

Xiao Junjue got out of the carriage and said a few high-sounding words, roughly asking them to go back first, and talk about anything when they settle down.

Someone had already set up a dinner party for the king of Chu to receive the wind and wash the dust, but he also refused, and only shirked it with the four words of the Japanese side.

This really made the hearts of the people beat drums, and they really couldn't figure out the king's temper.

Xiao Junjue also got out of the car, Rong Zhao didn't even see her, but she was a woman, and she wouldn't say anything if she didn't see others. But some people can't help but worry, after all, the King of Chu is impenetrable, maybe the princess can still test a little.

In this way, the wives of those officials and squires came to visit the princess of Chu from time to time, but this is a later story.
