Volume 1: The Kirin Is Not Like a Teenager's Tour Chapter 11: Visiting the Countryside
In the morning light, Su Qixiao and Gao Yingchen only took a few guards to ride out of the city, and the people along the way just looked at it and went to their own businesses, and they didn't recognize the noble identities of the two princes.
Su Qixiao glanced at Gao Yingchen beside him, and quipped: "You, you are still so bold, just let Bei Tao follow you, aren't you afraid that there will be a traitor halfway to covet your beauty of the Phoenix Spirit King?" โ
Gao Yingchen gave him a blank look, "So you'd better protect me." โ
Su Qixiao didn't hear it, and said to himself: "Speaking of which, a few days ago, the Queen Mother had a letter, and she praised you for coming." โ
"Really!"
Su Qixiao nodded and said: "Grandmother said, in the past, the one who loved to lie in bed the most among our little princes was our family's delicate Fengling King, and now Yingchen has also become resolute and can govern a fiefdom." She also asked me to come and see you more often, and help you out of trouble by the way. โ
Gao Yingchen heard him praise comfortably, but pretended not to care and said, "I don't want you to help me!" Also, what else did the imperial grandmother say! โ
Su Qixiao said softly: "My grandmother also said that since Chunfeng left, there is one less person that Yingchen can rely on, and it is not easy for her daughter's family to govern the fiefdom alone. โ
Gao Yingchen lowered her eyes and said: "The imperial grandmother is always like this, she obviously lives in the Yangcheng Palace, but she understands everything and can see everything. โ
She was silent for a moment, and then asked, "By the way, I want to know what the imperial grandmother said about you!" โ
"Can't tell you."
"Shh
Su Qixiao's eyes were suddenly cold, and he said sharply: "But the Queen Mother's last sentence is that the royal power of our Great Xia royal family, if an outsider tries to set it up, it can be killed." โ

In the south of the Yangtze River in winter, only the withered and withered tree trunks are left on the riverbank, and the new leaves of the willow trees that are waterfront and drunk with spring smoke will grow after February.
Outside the city, there are mountains and rivers along the way, and there are huts with hedges and grass along the way.
However, recently, the road conditions outside the city are different from the past, especially the original nameless suburban road, which suddenly has a nice road name called "Treading Cloud Road".
According to the people on the outskirts of the city, two years ago there was an old man who lived alone on the top of the mountain. The old man looked at the rough, and he spent a lot of money, he expanded the original nameless path to facilitate the people to go up and down the mountain, and also gave the elegant name of "Treading Cloud Road".
Naturally, the officials were happy to see such good deeds, and after all, they did not have to pay for them, and they quickly agreed to change the name of the place.
And the fame of Tayun Road is also due to the Yangzhou chess players.
After the old man settled on the top of the mountain, he called himself "the old man of stepping on the clouds", and with his amazing chess skills, he won a hundred battles around Yangzhou. Yangzhou chess halls, outside the city and other good chess people, all from the cloud road up the mountain, to visit the chess elder, the name of the cloud road soon spread.
It also spreads and has a reputation as an interesting chess player.
This old man who stepped on the cloud chess was full of wealth, but his behavior was very strange, clearly carrying a rare green glazed wine pot with a treasure of great things, and he was holding a dilapidated old lotus leaf umbrella, and his temperament was also strange and unpredictable.
Of course, it does not affect the people's praise for the chess veteran.
The mountain stream flows all the way down from the peak of the Tayun Road, and if pedestrians climb the mountain along the stream, it is as if they are stepping on the clouds.
The embroidered mother's family lives in Tayun Road.
However, this road to the cloud road, let alone Su Qixiao, even Gao Yingchen didn't know it. Therefore, the person who led the way, Su Qixiao found the pair of beautiful and similar lotus flowers in Guangling Tower.
The sister of the Oiran is called Spring and Autumn, and the younger sister is called Winter and Summer. Their sisters and embroidery girls know each other, and with them there, they can make everyone's abrupt visit less mustard.
The road is full of tourists, but compared with the bustling streets of the city, it is still a lot more deserted, and occasionally the children playing by the stream are more than the sound of insects and birds.
Everyone passed by, and the horse's hooves were thundering, which was quite eye-catching.
"Phew!"
Su Qixiao raised his hand to rein in the reins, stopped and dismounted, and decided to go on foot for the only remaining part of the road.
Gao Yingchen walked with him and said with a smile: "It's okay, it saves disturbing the quiet life of the people here." โ
The corners of Su Qixiao's mouth curled: "How do you know that I don't just want to see the scenery along the way?" โ
Gao Yingchen glanced at him, "I don't admit it!" โ
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
The voice of Oiran sister Dongxia came from behind, innocent and beautiful, adding a bit of cheerful atmosphere.
Dong Xia's body was small and exquisite, he stepped forward to hold Su Qixiao's arm, and asked curiously: "Your Highness, the predecessor of the Sword Marquis was too powerful that day!" It's a pity that he didn't come with me today, and I still want to touch his sword......"
Compared with the mature and decent sister Spring and Autumn, Dong Xia is lively and cute, and seems to recognize King Su who is high in front of him as an elder brother, and the relationship is intimate.
The grass on the side was cold, and unhappily pulled away the winter and summer that was attached to King Su, and reminded: "How many times have you said it, you can only call Gongzi outside." โ
Winter and summer puffed out her cheeks, "Oh......"
In fact, Dong Xia is by no means cheerful to everyone, and Su Qixiao also knows that it is precisely because she lacks her sister Chunqiu's meticulous mind that makes her more likable. However, it seems that even Su Qixiao himself didn't realize that he could indulge Dong Xia's playful nature, and it was Dong Xia who had the shadow of his sister Jing County Lord.
Dongxia stuck out his tongue and asked Youcao, "Sister Youcao, can you let me touch your knife?" โ
Yucao sighed and handed her the Garan knife in his hand, "Be careful of scratching. โ
Su Qixiao looked at them, with a smile in his eyes, turned to look at the Oiran sister Chunqiu, and ordered: "Okay, Chunqiu, will you briefly introduce the embroidery family to King Fengling?" โ
Chunqiu put his hands on his abdomen, his demeanor was elegant, and he replied calmly: "Back to the two highnesses, the embroidery lady is named Shen Changle, who lives in Xingyu Village on Tayun Road, and often takes her sister Xi'er into the city to sell embroidery during festivals. The slave maid and Miss Shen have already known each other, and the intersection between Dongxia and them was a year ago. That day coincided with downstairs, Dong Xia met the two sisters in the early morning, Miss Shen's craftsmanship is indeed outstanding, Dong Xia saw her zodiac embroidery and couldn't walk, until the slave also shouted out. Later, we bought all of Miss Shen's baskets of female red, distributed them one by one to the sisters around us, and gave them some rice and salt cakes to let them go home early. โ
King Feng Ling nodded and asked, "How many people are in Shen Changle's family?" โ
Chunqiu saluted and said: "Back to Your Highness, as far as the slave maid knows, except for her sister Xi'er, Miss Shen is the only grandmother left in the house, and the three of them live together." However, the slave maid had only heard where Miss Shen's family lived, and this was the first time she had visited. โ
Spring and Autumn Dressed in a long skirt, half sleeves fluttering, the steps out of the Guangling Tower are still pleasant, worthy of being the main thing in the building. In contrast, my sister Dongxia was still nervous when she first met King Su in Xueji Pavilion a few days ago, and all steps had to be led by her sister, but now she is temporarily away from the cheerful and free winter and summer of Guangling Tower, and finally has a girlish feeling of budding to be released.
Dong Xia walked lively, recalled the time he met Shen Changle, trotted to Su Qixiao's side, bent down and smiled: "I'm still curious why Sister Youcao came to me yesterday to ask about Sister Shen, it turned out to be His Highness's will!" If I'm not mistaken, Xi'er is very cute with those two pigtails! My sister often took pity on their sisters' backgrounds, and gave them a lot of silver taels to let them come to the city less, so as not to be bullied by Wu Kai and those villainous young masters. โ
After hearing Wu Kai's name, King Su, who was always smiling, flashed a trace of coldness in his eyes.
After Dongxia finished speaking, Su Qixiao reached out and touched her head, then looked at Chunqiu and said "hard work", the latter's quiet face was slightly avoided, he didn't dare to look directly at His Highness, and bent down to give a blessing.
Gao Yingchen on the side didn't wait for the Oiran sisters to walk away, and pinched Su Qixiao's left hand that had touched Dongxia's head just now, and asked with a sneer: "Aren't you afraid that I will go back to Yangzhou and seal Guangling Tower with my backhand?" โ
Su Qixiao pretended not to be in pain, and laughed: "Because of me? โ
Gao Yingchen turned her head away from him, and said angrily: "Huh! Who will be because of you? โ
Su Qixiao's eyes were soft, and he looked at the Fengling King beside him, who had governed the fiefdom by himself alone in the past two years and had never flinched half a step, his expression was slightly sad, and he said softly: "You are the lord of Yangzhou, and your strength is not so small. โ
