Chapter 52: The Island
When I opened the window, I could see the sea, and the sun hung in the sky for eternity, and everything seemed to have not changed at all.
Ruolan was making a meal, and there was no sound when the dishes touched the table, so He Qianwei did not look back, but sat by the window, bit the pen boredly, and finished copying a Buddhist scripture.
In fact, she didn't believe in Buddhism at all: when the blood was not stopping on the battlefield, the Buddha was never moved, and the soldiers never stopped.
But after floating on the sea for a long time, except for the unchanged blue every day, no other colors can be seen, and eating gradually becomes monotonous, the smouldering fire in He Qianwei's heart will inevitably become more and more intense.
It's not a good habit to sprinkle your anger on others.
He Qianwei thought about it, but she could only turn out a volume of Buddhist scriptures from Xiao Zaiyang, and copied a few sentences casually when she had nothing to do, at least the effect of self-cultivation was achieved.
Taking advantage of her ability to write, Ruolan had already set up lunch with her hands and feet, clapped her hands with satisfaction, and said, "The girl has been sitting all morning, and I'm afraid that my hands are sore." Why don't you get up and have lunch before continuing to copy the Buddhist scriptures? How to say it, He Qianwei just looked serious, but in fact, she couldn't copy a few words and turned over the book.
She was a little weak-hearted, put down her pen and walked to the table in three and two steps, picked up the bowl and looked at the dishes first.
As the saying goes, if you go to the sea, you will naturally follow the customs, and if you wait for a little while in the fishing net, you will pick up countless seafood and chat to pass the appetite.
There's nothing wrong with it, but if you eat fish and shrimp for almost a week in a row, you can't stand it.
The fleet is quite large, and there is a separate ship to hold food, not only specially raising domestic animals such as chickens and ducks, but also bringing vegetable seeds, but unfortunately, they can't supply so many people.
After all, the chickens and ducks can't be replenished after they are slaughtered, and the vegetable seeds can't grow for a while - as for the meat and vegetables that have been prepared in advance, they have already been put in the pot while they are still fresh.
As the crown prince, Xiao Zaiyang is unspeakably expensive, but he has no intention of luxury; He Qianwei was born in Jiangmen, and she didn't have the idea of enjoying herself alone.
Neither of them planned to eat and drink spicy food by themselves, but let the others look at it in amazement.
Even if there are still reserves, they can always be seen and eaten.
The two most valuable people set an example, and they did not deliberately pinch the tip of their diet, and the other officials naturally did not eat too well, so it made the two of them famous in the small group.
At the moment, the dishes on He Qianwei's table naturally use the same ingredients as others, but they are extra attentive to cooking and have made more tricks.
But after all, it's a change of soup and not a change of medicine.
Thinking about it, He Qianwei grabbed a chopstick dish and swallowed it with rice, and the low pressure spread all over her body.
Who would have thought that the woman who had a soft spot for sea crabs not long ago was also her.
Seeing this, Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled, pushed a plate of side dishes next to her to He Qianwei's hand, and said, "Father-in-law Ji Xiu just sent it, it is said that it is braised pork specially made in the kitchen, and it is only divided into a few portions." ”
I also know that Xiao Zaiyang used power for personal gain.
But He Qianwei, who was very greedy, fully understood the other party's mood, and Saner finished a bowl of rice with braised pork, and then shook his chopsticks, waved his hand, and stood up and went to the door.
Da En did not say thank you, it did not meet He Qianwei's work standards, she had to rush to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and praise it fiercely!
Xiao Zaiyang's room was next door to He Qianwei, but when she turned a corner when she went out, she had already knocked on Xiao Zaiyang's door quickly.
With a response, He Qianwei pushed open the door and walked in without hesitation, and sat beside Xiao Zaiyang quite familiarly.
At this time, Xiao Zaiyang had just finished his meal, and Ji Xiu had just packed up the food box before he had time to take it away.
He Qianwei glanced at it: "Your Highness seems to have a good appetite?" ”
"Qingqing is smiling so happily, probably on par with me." Xiao Zaiyang was unmoved, and turned his head and teased.
"Finally, there is braised pork that can change the taste, so naturally I have a lot of fun."
Xiao Zaiyang smiled: "A good life is one day less." ”
“…… You can't just go on like this. He Qianwei leaned on the table with her arms on her pillow, tilted her head to look at Xiao Zaiyang, and asked, "It's all over here." (More exciting on the next page!) )
It's been a long time, haven't you reached your destination? ”
"This trip is going to Wuge and Kunju," Xiao Zaiyang said slowly, "Even if these two countries start from the easternmost territory of Daqi, they will have to walk for ten days and half a month, where can they be so fast." ”
He Qianwei buried her head in the crook of her arm, looking like an ostrich who didn't want to face reality: "But I think I've been floating on this sea for a month." ”
"We just left Yangzhou." Xiao Zaiyang touched her furry head, "It's still early." ”
He Qianwei was silent.
Xiao Zaiyang is like an ingredient before setting off. ”
For things that he is not sure of, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never let He Qianwei know, and now that he has said it, it means that this matter is nine out of ten.
He Qianwei immediately raised her head in surprise: "I want to get off the boat and leave!" ”
"Yes. None\./Wrong\./More\./New'.w'.a'.p'.'.c'.o'.m" Xiao Zaiyang responded, "But I have to follow." ”
The two spent some time alone in the room, unconscious of each other, but the fleet approached the island that Xiao Zaiyang said as planned.
The heavy anchor was thrown into the water, and it sank to the bottom of the sea, grabbing the soft mud and sand, and after not seeing land for many days, many people gathered on the deck and talked with great interest.
It was early afternoon, and many residents along the shore gathered around the boat from a few steps away with curious eyes.
And the people on the boat got off the boat one after another, and they were busy standing up in their own duties.
Xiao Zaiyang and He Qianwei sat patiently for a while after hearing Ji Xiu's report, and waited until the curiosity of the onlookers was satisfied and slowly dispersed before getting off the boat.
After many days, stepping on solid land again, He Qianwei was even a little uncomfortable, always feeling that there would be a sudden bump while walking.
Xiao Zaiyang looked at her with a smile and held her arm tightly: "Now that I'm not on the boat, I can't afford the wind and waves, why are I so careful?" ”
"Isn't it that I haven't regained my feelings," He Qianwei, who occasionally encountered wind and waves on the boat, and took the initiative to tie up with Xiao Zaiyang without hesitation, still didn't let go, "I'll let go after a while." ”
Xiao Zaiyang raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the intertwined arms of the two and smiled like a spring breeze: "I'm afraid this hand can't be scattered." ”
He Qianwei pretended not to hear, turned her head and looked at the coast, looking like a beautiful day that could not be disappointed.
She did see something different, raised her elbow and bumped into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beside her: "Why are so many people picking up shells?" ”
Xiao Zaiyang is not a know-it-all after all, so he only replied decisively "I don't know" when he heard this, and then sent Ji Xiu to investigate.
To tell the truth, when Ji Xiu listened to the order and turned around and left without hesitation, He Qianwei was quite surprised.
Now it is no longer in the territory of Qiguo, and although this island shares the same language as other countries in the East, it is not the official language of Qiguo after all, so Ji Xiu looked calm, as if he went without any influence at all?
She whispered to Xiao Zaiyang and bit her ears: "Is Ji Xiu really just a eunuch?" ”
"Of course." Xiao Zaiyang also bent down, approached He Qianwei's ear, and said with a smile, "It's just that he has learned the skills next to him well." ”
“…… I would like to ask, how many kinds of skills are there here? ”
Xiao Zaiyang really thought about it for a long time.
He hesitated, "Maybe...... Will anything be a little? ”
He Qianwei was very sincere: "It is really condescending to let him be the chief eunuch of the East Palace." ”
In the past ten years, He Qianwei has never seen anything that Ji Xiu can't do - he is like an all-rounder who can do anything.
It's really not a joke to shout Ji Xiu when you are indecisive.
"I think so." Xiao Zaiyang deeply agreed, "It's a pity that I don't weaken the crown for a day, and Ji Xiu will not easily follow the arrangements of the side." ”
After all, Ji Xiu was a close confidant of the former empress, and the emperor pinched it in early autumn, but both the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already prepared at the beginning of the year.
The crown prince's weak crown is a major event of the country, after all, once the crown ceremony is performed, Xiao Zaiyang is considered an adult, and he can go to the court to discuss matters - in fact, many ministers have speculated that I am afraid that it will not be long before the emperor will take the initiative to take the throne and give up the power of the new monarch.
He Qianwei also vaguely felt like this, but she. (More exciting on the next page!) )
I don't care about the possibility of the prince becoming a majesty, but I am worried about what kind of title he will use in the future.
After all, with the affection between them, if they can only call Your Majesty dryly, it will inevitably be a little rusty and hurt. No \./Wrong \./More\./New '.w'.a'.p'.'.'.c'.o'.m
You must know that even if it is Your Majesty today, He Qianwei will occasionally call a few uncles!
"Just do what you want," Xiao replied, "whatever you call it, I'll say yes." ”
"Then it depends on whether the words taken by His Majesty are good or not," He Qianwei pretended to ponder, "If it doesn't sound good, it's still the same as now." ”
Xiao Zaiyang smiled: "My father knows that he is going to be angry, so he has to repeatedly state his martial arts strategy, it is impossible to be unpleasant." ”
"It's not because His Majesty can't hear it."
They bowed their heads and talked for a long time, and Ji Xiu, who went to inquire about the news, thanked the local residents of the island and turned his head and walked back.
Seeing this, the two also stopped talking, pricked up their ears and waited patiently for Ji Xiu's report.
Ji Xiu's expression was a little hesitant, he subconsciously waved his hand, and he didn't hear the sound before he reacted, in order to hide his identity, he didn't bring the dust with him.
He moved freely to pick up a salute at the back of his head, and then he spoke.
"These fishermen look like they're picking up shells, but they're actually busy with their marriages."
Xiao Zaiyang and He Qianwei's eyes invariably had doubts, and Ji Xiu also followed closely and explained in detail.
