Chapter 21 Confluence
The smell of food also attracted the homeless people who were slowly advancing along the post road, but in the face of the fierce guards with knives, the little greed they had just emerged pressed down again.
The main thing is that the further south you go, the greener the vegetation becomes, and it is no longer as red as in the north. They wouldn't starve to death if they had plants, and if they could, no one would want to risk their lives to rob the rich ranks.
Xia Jing naturally noticed that the food had attracted the attention of the homeless people on the roadside, but now there were hundreds of guards guarding it, and it was enough to temporarily deter them and make them dare not act rashly.
Among these hundreds of guards, a large part of them are young adults in the Yuzhou farm, who have changed into the palace guard clothes and carried a big knife, which seems to be quite able to scare the layman.
"When did we have such a light carriage in our ranks?"
In the middle of the afternoon, the sun was not so strong, Xia Jing took the maid around the camp, and accidentally found a green cloth carriage parked on the periphery of the team, so she asked Hongmei who was following her.
Hongmei glanced at the green cloth carriage several times, except for a coachman outside, she couldn't see the situation inside the car, she guessed: "It should be the family member of the housekeeper." ”
When Xia Jing heard this, the curiosity about the carriage just rising also dissipated.
Inside the Qingbu carriage, the master and servant were nervous, observing the situation outside from the gap in the curtain, and their tense bodies did not relax until Xia Jing's master and servant walked away.
Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at her master's drooping eyelids, and asked the doubts in her heart: "Miss, it was a good opportunity for the princess to come over just now, why didn't you go down to say goodbye, and show your face in front of her before the fourth lady arrived, isn't it more conducive to your survival in the palace in the future?" ”
Lan Qin raised his head and stared at the green cloth curtain, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "In your eyes, you Miss and I are very good." But you have to know who I am? My identity can't get into the eyes of the princess at all, and you are self-aware, so let's not bother her. ”
Linglong frowned tightly, and said disapprovingly: "Miss is now the concubine of the fourth master, and she is also the daughter-in-law of the princess seriously, and it is only natural for the daughter-in-law to visit her mother-in-law, miss, don't be presumptuous anymore, I don't feel sorry for you like this, the fourth master will be distressed!" ”
Lan Qin listened to the maid's words, her enthusiasm surged, her little face turned red, and she glared at the maid angrily: "Don't talk nonsense about this in the future, why am I the princess's daughter-in-law, and I will laugh off my big teeth when I hear it." ”
Linglong stuck out her tongue, she was really careless, if she had heard what she had said just now, she would have nowhere to redress her if she was killed, "Miss, the slave maid is just the two of us talking, how dare you talk nonsense in front of outsiders." ”
Lan Qin lowered his eyes and said gloomily: "It's not okay for the two of them to talk, be careful that the wall has ears." Besides, I haven't given tea to my mother now, and I haven't been recognized by my mother, so I can't be considered the fourth master's concubine? ”
Linglong sighed in her heart, she didn't know how to persuade Miss, she only hoped that the fourth lady was easy to get along with, otherwise according to Miss's temperament, I was afraid that she would have a hard time in the backyard of the palace in the future.
In the evening, the old emperor's escape party finally arrived.
In the distance, a few crooked flags on the mountain road opened the way in front, followed by a long procession, and the mental outlook of the personnel was too far away to know for the time being.
But the first few flags show how hasty the team fled.
The caravan that stayed on the side of the road rested for an hour at noon and left, and most of the remaining chariots and horses were people from the court, and those who knew the situation behind were stayed.
As soon as the emperor's procession to the south appeared, both sides of the post road were boiling.
The chariots and horses all moved, and when the southward migration team passed the post road, the convoy on the side of the road consciously followed.
The emperor's procession was unimpeded, passing by a convoy, and the convoy would slowly gallop into the post road in order, following at the back of the procession.
And so on.
When the team passed by the front of the palace convoy, Xia Jing found that the once majestic Zhijinwu and the Praetorian Guards were so embarrassed at this time!
Zeng Yan looked at the palace convoy following the Praetorian Guards from a distance, his eyes were full of tears in his excited eyes, and he was about to hit the horse and go forward to ask his master for peace, but the horse was stopped by Xia Jing as soon as he snorted.
"Princess, behind the Praetorian Guard is the convoy of our palace, and the old slave wants to go up to ask the prince for peace."
Xia Jing ignored Zeng Yan's displeased eyes, but pointed to the convoy that was ready to go on the side of the road, "The convoy is running normally, don't go up and fix those false courtesies, hurry up and arrange for the convoy to be inserted with the captain of the guard, and go with the convoy of the palace." ”
Zeng Yan pursed his lower lip, wanting to say that if you cut the queue, won't it affect the normal operation of the team?
But after a little hesitation, he closed his mouth, thinking that she was right, and if he didn't cut the line at this time, then their team would follow behind.
Although there may be a convoy in front of them, they are separated from the prince's convoy, and it is inconvenient to manage after all.
There was a carriage in the palace, and the team behind had to stop slowly, and when the team was all inserted, the team behind slowly started driving again.
Li Chengmu stared at Xia Jing, who was sitting opposite, with an inquiring expression, and asked tentatively, "Mother concubine doesn't go to ask my father for peace?" ”
In the palace before, as long as her father returned to the palace, no matter how late she was, she would go to her father to say goodbye, but this time he didn't see her move, so he couldn't help but ask.
Xia Jing leaned against the wall of the car, glanced at her son, and spit out four words lightly: "It's important to escape." ”
She has a masochistic tendency to go to see people and concubines, of course, even if they show affection in front of her, she will not be angry.
Xia Jing felt that the body of the original owner was barely acceptable, and the man who inherited the original owner ...... Forgive her for being emotionally and physically receptive.
Li Chengmu learned her movements and gave her a roll of the eyes, who believes this?
It seems that his mother died once, and she is really enlightened.
I'm afraid my father will be disappointed today, this time I can't wait for my mother to ask him to say goodbye.
Xia Jing was worried that the team in front of her had been running for so long, running a lot of distances, and never stopped for a moment, so if she could hold on now.
And she didn't know that she had become the talk of the team.
In the largest and most luxurious carriage in the royal team, Aunt Sun fanned the wind for Prince Qian's Li Jingfu, and her eyes glanced out of the window from time to time.
"The carriage that just passed should have belonged to the princess's sister, why didn't it stop? The concubine also thought that the first thing my sister and we did when we met was to come to ask the prince to say goodbye, no matter how you said the prince, you have been worried about her, and she came to ask for peace so that the prince can rest assured. ”
Subsequently, he found that the face of King Qian Li Jingfu did not seem to be very happy, and he turned around and said happily: "But then again, the princess's sister is really rich and noble, and she can crawl out of the coffin when she is mourned, her experience is really strange." I just didn't know that she was lying in the coffin, cramped and dark all around, was she scared at the time? ”
