Chapter 11: The Expedition

That's really not, the president's sister usually loves to reward the people around her with a gold hairpin and jade bracelet when she is happy, if she picks the door, then there will be no generous boss in the world.

Lin Youran always thought that if her boss in the real world could be half as compassionate as the president's sister, she would not die of overwork.

In fact, she usually doesn't have any other hobbies, so she likes to save some money, Lin Youran exchanged all the gold and jade rewarded by her sister for silver early, and stored it in the silver village, and the interest plus the silver money she usually earns in the school is just enough for her usual life.

"It seems that I am not doing well." The president's sister sighed with self-reproach, and pointed to the direction of the carriage and said to Lin leisurely: "The things in there, as long as you like it, use it." ”

Lin Youran: "Suddenly I made a lot of money......"

Unlike what Lin Youran thought, the president's sister did not take a huge team to gather with the new emperor, except for the carriage with luggage, only the four of them went to the palace.

According to the president's sister, the people of the ghost market have pretended to be soldiers and horses of the imperial court and set off one step ahead of them.

Lin Youran thinks about it, too, the ghost market has a bad reputation, and the male protagonist has some concerns.

But she suddenly felt a little unhappy with the male protagonist in her heart, and asked them to help in the ghost market, and she was afraid that her reputation would be ruined, so she ...... Isn't that typical both-and-both!

"Greedy dog man."

Lin Youran muttered and cursed, but as soon as she finished scolding, the carriage she was sitting in with Zhiqingyun stopped.

She lifted the curtain and saw that the carriage had arrived at the main entrance of the palace, and the guards guarding the door trotted all the way, saying the rules of the palace, and asked them to dismount from the sedan chair and enter on foot.

And the president's sister, who closed her eyes in the carriage, waved her hand, and didn't say a word of nonsense, and Brother Jiao drove the carriage directly into the palace, and no one dared to stop him.

Lin Youran saw that Zhiqing's eyes began to glow, worthy of you, the domineering president of Tianzi No. 1!

Although the palace is gorgeous, Lin Youran's interest is not very big, she has traveled to the Forbidden City twice before, and she has turned around the open palace, which is much the same.

Not long after walking, the sound of talking came to the carriage, and at this time the carriage also stopped, Lin Youran couldn't hear clearly, and directly opened the curtain to see that everyone in the distance was lined up in an orderly manner, and what kind of ceremony was being held in a place similar to the Temple of Heaven......

One of them, a man and a woman, walked hand in hand to the Temple of Heaven to worship, the man was wearing heavy armor, a belt and a sword, and his long hair was tied up on the top of his head.

Lin Youran couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but he could vaguely see that he was very young, with a long and sturdy body, and a majestic style.

The woman wears a golden jade phoenix crown, a purple gorgeous robe, and the gold thread embroidered with a phoenix pattern from the shoulder to the large tail covering the white jade steps, the whole person looks gorgeous and dignified.

After realizing who these two people were, Lin Youran covered the carriage window with a curtain to prevent the president's sister from feeling uncomfortable when she saw it.

But......

The original book wrote that after the female protagonist used the male protagonist to take revenge, she still wanted to kill him and sit on the throne herself, but for so many years, has she been just using the male protagonist and has no feelings?

Lin Youran secretly glanced at Zhiqingyun, she was still closing her eyes to recuperate, her thick eyelashes trembled from time to time, I don't know if she was really asleep.

Hard to guess...... In the book, the heroine rarely shows likes and dislikes, Lin Youran remembers that only the heroine had a collapse when her teacher was tortured, and the rest of the time she was inconspicuous.

And Lin Youran has known the heroine for almost two years, and she can't see what kind of person she is, she is very good to herself, and she is also very good to the dumb slave, but she always feels that the president's sister is very cold, except for the throne that she misses, she doesn't seem to care about anything.

"What's wrong?"

Zhiqingxun was almost resting, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Youran looking at her with a frown, with an aggrieved expression on his face, and he was about to cry.

"It's okay, it's just a little tired."

She hurriedly pulled the corners of her mouth up, lest the president's sister see what she was thinking.

I don't know how long I waited, Lin Youran was almost asleep, and the president's sister was probably tired of waiting, so she took her for a walk in the palace, and they slipped around the palace for a long time, and when they returned to the same place, the sacrifice was finally over.

The new emperor rode a tall horse to their side, and Lin leisurely took a look, yo...... If you just look at your face, your ex-husband's brother is good-looking, a standard handsome man, but as a modern person, she can't accept the fact that she opens a harem......

Wait...... Wait......

Why is there a woman behind him? Or is it a beauty covered in silk and full of pearls?

Zhiqingxun was also a little surprised, but after seeing the person clearly, she thought about it for a while, and then understood Shao Yisong's intentions, she looked away, and said to Lin Youran: "Let's go." ”

"It's not...... Why did this faint gentleman go out on the expedition and bring a concubine? Lin Youran's heart was straightforward and fast-talking, and his brain blurted out as soon as his brain was hot.

When Zhi Qingxun heard the word "faint monarch", he covered his mouth and smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, the woman brought by the king is Ning Guifei." ”

Ning Guifei? Bai Yuning?

Lin Youran opened the curtain again and looked at it carefully, hmm...... Sure enough, it is as exquisite as described in the original book, but ......

She saw Bai Yuning's unfriendly eyes, and immediately lowered the curtain, it seems that this Ning Guifei's temper is as difficult as described in the book.

The original book said that when the president's sister was by Xindi's side, she took the route of a gentle and kind little white flower, which somewhat limited her development.

When Shao Yisong was not married as a prince, his sister's life was okay, but he could wait for the Bai sisters...... Especially after Bai Yuning entered the palace, when she saw that her sister, an orphan girl, had become the same concubine as her, she became dissatisfied in her heart and made things difficult for her everywhere.

Although the president's sister has other ambitions in her heart and doesn't care about this competition for favor, as a reader, Lin Youran was angry at that time.

Unexpectedly, on this expedition, Shao Yisong also brought a concubine, and the book said that he was not close to women...... What the hell is that......

Don't...... Is it because of Bai Yuning's father, General Zhenguo?

Thinking about it this way, the logic is clear, but if you analyze it further, Lin Youran can't do it, these forces in the imperial court are intertwined, and the wisps are not clear, who knows what Shao Yisong plans to do.

She couldn't guess, and she wasn't interested in guessing, but she believed that the president's sister must be clear in her heart.

An army of nearly 30,000 men marched until late at night before setting up camp.

They took the official road, marched faster, and had already walked out of the capital in one day.

After setting up camp, Shao Yisong sent someone to ask Zhiqing to go to the king's tent, and the two decided on tomorrow's marching route.

In fact, it is not necessary to take the official road all the time, and the soldiers are fast, and it is of course a good thing to rush to the battlefield early.

However, in order to prevent the southern Xinjiang eyeline, or the undead vassal kings in various places from finding out the marching route of our army and ambushing them, after leaving the capital, the marching route of each day was predetermined by the two of them the night before.

Before the next day's march, the day's road map will be handed over to the generals who lead the way, which is more troublesome, but it also prevents the leakage of information to a greater extent.

In the dim candlelight, the two stood side by side, looking at the topographical map drawn by the soldiers in advance, and knew where the muddy fingertips tapped the trees.

"In the summer heat, the poisonous insects, rats and ants in the forest are difficult to prevent and cause unnecessary damage, but if you take the mountain road, it is too far."

"What if you go here?" Shao Yisong pointed to the place where the lake was marked on the road map, "Although Lingyue Lake is deep, it is not very long, it is on the west side of the jungle, and the army can bypass the lake, which is closer than the mountain road." ”

Zhi Qingxun looked at it carefully, and there was indeed no closer route than this road, and she nodded in agreement.

"When the night is late, if there is nothing else to do with the king, the king will go to bed."

Walking all day, it is indeed tiring, knowing that Qingxun was just about to leave, she was called by Shao Yisong, she turned around, the breeze blew the candle flame, and his face loomed in the shadows.

"Girl, the lonely king was drunk that night, and he probably said something that shouldn't be said, I hope the girl doesn't take it to heart."

"Naturally not." Zhiqing Xun chuckled a few times, "The king hasn't said much to Benjun, so don't worry." ”

"Okay."

Shao Yisong responded dryly, somehow, since that night, he has always wanted to see her, in the past few days in the palace, he often thinks of her even when he corrects the folds, and even in his dreams, he often dreams of this face.

He couldn't tell whether he dreamed of Huanrou or the lord of the ghost market, he only knew that he was very nostalgic for the joy in his dreams, but in reality, he clearly never regarded Huanrou and the lord of the ghost market as one person.

And now that he saw her, he wanted to say a few more words to her, and at the same time, a sense of betrayal of joy spontaneously arose in his heart, so that he couldn't help but dislike himself, but he didn't know how to suppress his desire to see her.

Shao Yisong's expression was complicated, and after a while, he turned around, "It's not early, girl, please go back." ”

"Yes."

Zhiqingxun turned to leave, Shao Yisong felt his grasp relax a little, he turned his head and looked at the distant figure until she disappeared into the night.

Lingyue Lake was a long way, and the army drove out at dawn on the second day, but the speed of the carriage was still a little slower, and Zhiqing was also depressed inside, so he changed into neat clothes that were convenient for riding and shooting and got out of the carriage.

She was slender and delicate, and her heroic posture was enhanced by a brown overcoat, and she flew on the horse with light movements, took the reins and drove the horse forward.

Lin Youran shouted frantically in her heart, wanting to ride a horse and whip like Zhiqing, but when she stood next to the war horse, she realized that she was sloppy.

It was too high to climb up, and even if she did, she wouldn't be able to control it, and maybe she would be thrown off.

This is typical of what the eyes do, but not the body.

……

Well, she resigned herself to returning to the carriage, fortunately it was Brother Jiao who drove the carriage, and she was able to go to talk to Brother Jiao.

complained about the monotony of the ancient way of traveling, and talked about sledding.

Brother Jiao was not interested in her complaints, but as soon as he said that the dog was pulling the cart, his eyes lit up.

Lin Youran saw that he was interested, so he said more, and wanted to wait for Brother Jiao to go back, so that Erha didn't need her to get up early every day and go for a walk in the dark.
