Chapter 174: Princess: The Eight Commandments of Carrying a Daughter-in-law
Concubine Yu felt that Qin Shou was very strange, this morning, no matter what she did, he seemed to always be staring at her left hand.
Concubine Yu looked at her left hand, clean and slender, as white as the roots, it looked good everywhere, she didn't bother to pay attention to him, it was always this person who was deep in thought, and it was natural that she couldn't guess.
Shouyang was afraid that she would use too much meat food last year to make her stomach, so he stared at her all the time, and he didn't even drink flower and fruit tea, so he could only sip some water.
Fortunately, Concubine Yu was used to this, and she didn't feel that she was a princess, and she was so shabby in eating, she knew that Shouyang was for her health, so she didn't complain at all.
Since Qin Shou beat him, he no longer teased about the matter of Concubine Yu's body.
On the way to Shunan, the two of them were at peace for a while.
Shunan is far away from the capital, the road is far away, if the weather is fine, when the official road is good to walk, the fastest half a month can arrive, if there is a mountain flood, one month and two months are not necessarily into Shu.
And to the south of Shunan, there are many mountain forest insects and snakes, even in the middle of summer, there is a lot of humidity.
The farther she went south, the more Concubine Yu felt that the weather was boring, and the sun was hanging high in the sky tomorrow, but when she looked at the blue sky, she felt a sense of irritability.
Qin Shou lives in the north, and it stands to reason that he is more unsuitable for the climate of southern Shu, but even if he sweats his long shirt, his face will not change.
Concubine Yu really admired him, the sweat that clearly slipped down his forehead was gathered in his jaw and flowed down his neck into the collar, and he could also leisurely half-squint his eyes and look into the distance.
Concubine Yu only wanted to take off her belly pocket, but the court etiquette since she was a child made her unable to do such a thing, but fortunately, the three of Shouyang took turns to fan her to cool off, which was better.
On this day, it was not easy to reach the first pass into Shu - Shimen Pass, through Shimen Pass, and then go to the twelve Shu roads, you can enter Shu.
This 12 Shu Road, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the road is rugged, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the ladder stone stack, known as the rumor of "100 steps and nine folds lingering rocks".
Concubine Yu and his entourage stayed at Shimen Pass temporarily, and the Gu guards sent people out to investigate, but after half a day's work, Concubine Yu heard that the carriage could not pass through the Twelve Shu Roads.
Qin Shou also went out for a walk, and when he came back, he came to find Concubine Yu, and it happened that Concubine Yu was frowning, annoyed that she couldn't make a carriage.
He sat down indifferently, poured a cup of tea to drink, and said, "If the carriage can't pass, you can ride a horse, and the twelve Shu roads don't have to be walked through." ”
Concubine Yu glanced at him, "That's all there is to it." ”
However, in an instant, she was worried about the Suzaku army in Shunan, but this batch of Suzaku is more than the suburbs of Beijing, and there are 50,000 of them, and it is so difficult for these twelve Shu roads to enter and exit, after she gathered the army, she still doesn't know how to get out of Shu.
Qin Shou didn't know what Concubine Yu thought, he sneered, "How did you enter Shu in the first place, and you should follow it out of Shu in the future, what's so difficult about this?" ”
After he said this, he said, "What Kyushu wants to say to the princess is that there are businessmen talking about it, the weather in southern Shu has been rare and sunny recently, and I want to take advantage of this time to hurry into Shu, otherwise the thunderstorm will be raging after some time, I am afraid that I will have to wait for a long time at Shimen Pass, and I can only start after the twelve Shu roads are not slippery." ”
Concubine Yu didn't want to think about it, and immediately decided, "I will enter Shu tomorrow." ”
She could wait, but the Suzaku Army in Shunan was afraid that they couldn't wait any longer.
The group began to dispose of their belongings that night, and the carriages were put away, and the things that should not be brought were also discarded, and the horses that were not enough were quickly purchased.
As soon as the sky was bright on the second day, Concubine Yu and the others had already left Shimen Pass.
Along the way, from time to time you can see the caravan like a stream flowing into the Haihe River, and more and more people follow into Shu, and the concubine is surrounded by guards like the stars and the moon.
Qin Shou walked in front to explore the way, and from time to time he asked for some news from the passing merchants, and he thought it was useful, so he asked the Gu guards who followed him to pass it on to Concubine Yu.
After walking like this for a long time, she finally stepped into the first meridian road of the Twelve Shu Road, and Concubine Yu was immediately stunned, the trail or built along the riverbank, otherwise it was on the dry riverbed, and as soon as she looked up, she saw the ladder made of a few pieces of wood at will in the middle of the mountain, not to mention riding a horse, or to let her walk up, it is estimated that it is difficult.
Obviously, not only the palace lady beside Concubine Yu thought of this, but even the guards Gu saw it, and the people next to her could get off the horse and move slowly, but Concubine Yu, such a delicate princess, walked on the flat ground very little, let alone such a trail.
Qin Shou sighed secretly, he turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the Gu guards, turned around and went backwards, to the side of the concubine, in front of her, he raised his head and said to the princess on horseback, "Come down." ”
Concubine Yu had eyes since she came, she obediently got off the horse, and handed the horse to Ming Shu as well.
Qin Shou lifted his robe, squatted down slightly in front of her, and said coldly, "Come up." ”
The concubine stared at his back, and was about to kick him, but she obediently covered it, and wrapped her hands firmly around his neck.
After Qin Shou picked up the person on his back, he ordered, "Keep up." ”
He took the lead alone, carrying the concubine on his back, the wind under his feet, and on the mountain stream path, he walked on the ground.
The concubine was not bumped in the slightest, she occasionally glanced out, and immediately made the wooden path no more than an inch wide stiffen her body.
Qin Shou seemed to be aware of it, he patted her thigh, turned his head sideways and whispered, "Don't look down, if you are sleepy, you will sleep first." ”
Concubine Yu answered in a low voice, she leaned on his shoulder, carefully avoiding his crow hair, the tip of her nose was full of the clear smell of grass roots on Qin Shou's body, which smelled very good.
Where could she sleep, just like that, she opened her eyes and looked at the mountains and rivers of the steep cliffs in the distance, for a long time, she didn't know what she was thinking, and asked in a low voice, "Qin Jiuzhou, do you still want to be the emperor?" ”
Qin Shou paused, but only for a moment, he quickly continued to move forward.
Concubine Yu actually felt that Qin Shou, who seemed to be helping her everywhere at the moment, wanted to be more contaminated with the power of the capital, so that it would be more convenient to steal the Xi clan in the future.
Who wouldn't want that position?
Therefore, one day, she will still meet him in battle, and she can stop in terms of success or failure.
The black and white peach blossom eyes darkened slightly, and Concubine Yu asked again, "Qin Jiuzhou, will you kill me again?" ”
Although she asked, she didn't expect to have an answer, but Qin Shou actually replied, "No." ”
I couldn't tell what emotions were in my heart, and it took a long time for Concubine Yu to respond.
When the sun sets, I finally stumbled out of the meridian road, and the afterglow was golden, but when I took a breath, I could still feel the humidity of Shunan.
Twelve roads in the south of Shu, twelve roads are connected, there is no town and village to rest in the middle, and merchants come and go frequently in the past, so they build a flat place that can rest temporarily between the roads and the roads.
The open space is not big, just at the highest point of the steep cliff, the ancient trees are shady all around, it is very cool, there are businessmen who come up one after another, if there is an acquaintance, they will pile up the goods together to block the wind, when the night comes, just deal with some dry food, and then a few people huddle together, take a rough nap and forget it.
Concubine Yu and her party, almost without her command, the guards spontaneously propped up the tent, covered it so long and narrow, and set up three tents next to each other, and then Shouyang and others also took out a spatula and built a stove for cooking.
After a while, the smell of steaming food spread throughout the cliff clearing, and everyone who smelled it looked sideways, but when they saw the dozen or so guards with swords at their waists, they stopped talking.
As soon as Concubine Yu reached the top, she entered the tent, she was not tired, but the whole person was still looking sad and not very energetic, Shouyang persuaded her to use more hot soup, and served her to lie down, and then sent the extra meal to Qin Shou.
After all, no matter what, the horse also carried the princess for a whole day, and most of the twelve Shu Dao after that, he had to carry it down.
She felt that she had to be kind to the colt, so that she could take care of the princess more.
The meal was naturally delivered in the name of Concubine Yu, and then in Qin Shou's indifferent gaze, Shouyang's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said, "The princess said, I have worked hard today, and the princess knows the horse's intentions." ”
Where would Qin Shou believe it, but he only nodded, indicating that he understood, so he picked up the bamboo chopstick and used it.
Shouyang smiled at the corner of his mouth, asked Qin Shou to use it slowly, and retreated on his own, and then thought that the princess must not have fallen asleep yet, so he went back to the tent and said to the concubine, "The princess doesn't use it much tonight, and the maid thinks about how this concubine has carried the princess all day, so the maid sent the princess's remaining meals without authorization, and the concubine is very happy to use it." ”
Concubine Yu touched the military book that she hadn't finished reading a while ago and continued to read, and when she heard Shouyang's words, she turned her head and sneered, "Where did my aunt see joy in his expressionless face?" ”
These words made Shouyang choked, and she couldn't answer well, so she laughed a few times, "The maid is not speculating." ”
Concubine Yu glanced at her meaningfully, then turned her head to continue reading her own book.
Shouyang was vigilant and secretly warned himself that it would be better to mention such things in front of the princess in the future.
That night, when Qin Shou returned to the tent, Concubine Yu was already asleep, she was still holding the military book in her hand, and she was lying crookedly in the brocade quilt, because of the pressure on the soft pillow, her lips were slightly upturned, revealing her mouth-watering pink lips.
Qin Shou sat on the side of the couch and looked at her quietly for a while, drew her military book, and saw that she was seeing the section where soldiers are not tired of cheating, and turned it forward, and could still see the annotations she made, especially the page of the beauty plan, the hairpin flower Xiaokai characters, which were written in two rows.
He looked closer, and it was she who had written down the events of that night, and at the end she mentioned it emphatically, and there was a knife on the head of the color character, and from now on when he saw such a beautiful look, both men and women, he would be far away.
Qin Shou couldn't cry or laugh, he found pen and ink, put forward some of his own opinions under her handwriting, and started from the beginning, each page, wrote an explanation in an obscure place, and noted his thoughts, wrote to the xing, and extended it to a small article.
After the annotation of a military book, when it was close to ugliness, Qin Shou packed up his pen and ink, and then he closed his clothes next to Concubine Yu, squinted and lay down for a while.
