Chapter 169: The Squeamish Bag Princess and the Rough General 24
Shen Beizhan easily picked her up and let her change to a more comfortable position to sit on his lap.
Then he slowly talked about the recent situation in the court.
"Recently, there has always been an infestation of barbarian squads in the border city, and I am afraid that they are here to investigate the situation. The emperor was afraid that the war would rekindle, so he asked me to go back to guard it. ”
He has been away from the border city for so long, I am afraid that the barbarians have long recovered from the battle of a few years ago and are ready to move.
He had to go back.
Cha Jiu stroked his face and said without hesitation: "I'll go with you." ”
She has a system, and maybe she can save his life with props when he is in danger.
Shen Beizhan was stunned, a chuckle overflowed in his throat, and kissed her lips: "My stupid highness, that is a bitter cold place, you are precious and noble, and you can't bear the hardships there." ”
How could he be willing to give it?
On weekdays, she eats less delicately, so she uses less.
A golden thread was scattered from the brocade, and her delicate skin could be felt immediately.
When I went to the border city, the conditions were better, and the people I lived in were leaky earthen houses, and I slept on hard clay kangs.
Not to mention eating, brown rice is dried naan, and you can't eat a few good meals of meat a year.
But most importantly, it's too dangerous.
Cha Jiu wrapped his arms around his neck and whispered: "I don't need rouge rice, I don't need soft silk brocade quilts, and it's not hard to be by your side." But if you are separated, every moment is lovesickness. ”
Shen Beizhan's heart is sweet and bitter.
He hugged Cha Jiu tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his blood and bones, merge her into one, and take her to the Flying Sand Border City.
"Ah Yuan, if we can usher in a peaceful and prosperous era in our lifetime, you and I will definitely stay together until the end of the day."
Cha Jiu sighed lightly and hugged him back with all his might.
It was as if she felt a hot tear fall on the back of her neck.
But when they looked at each other, Shen Beizhan showed a reassuring bright smile to her.
……
In the end, Cha Jiu decided to stay in the capital.
However, she exchanged for anti-inflammatory drugs, antidotes, and common medicines such as repair potions, changed them to porcelain bottles, and handed them to Shen Beizhan disguised as contemporary medicines.
She told them one by one, and took the trouble to explain the purpose of each potion, so as to avoid confusion when Shen Beizhan wanted to use it.
Shen Beizhan also listened to her over and over again very patiently without interrupting.
On the day the army set off, Cha Jiu took his two children to see him off at the city gate.
The end of the original line was about to disappear, and suddenly, a figure riding on the snow reappeared in view.
Shen Beizhan turned back from the front alone.
In the dust raised by the horse's hooves, he wore the armor of the flowing clouds, the silver light shimmered, and the edge of the sword unsheathed around him walked towards her, but his eyes were as soft as water, as deep as a mountain.
Cha Jiu was surprised: "Why are you ......?"
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Beizhan handed a few gorgeous wildflowers in his hand to her.
"I couldn't help it." He said, "I want to bring it to you right away when I see something beautiful, don't worry, I won't have half a tea time to catch up with the team." ”
Treading the snow rolled his eyes, and the horse's hooves alternated and kicked to rest.
The best and largest flower that Shen Beizhan would bloom was pinned to Cha Jiu's bun, and then the remaining two were pinned to Qinghe and Yan Hai's ears.
"Take good care of your mother, you know?" He advised.
Qinghe and Yan Hai, who were only three years old, showed blank expressions at the same time.
"Ah Yuan, wait for me to come back."
……
Less than two months after the Shenbei War, the barbarians really started a new round of war attacks.
The court was shrouded in the expectation and anxiety of waiting for the victory of the Shenbei War every day.
These large and small wars lasted for two years.
Shen Beizhan would send someone to send a letter to his family every few days to report his safety, in addition to telling his recent situation and asking about the safety of Cha Jiu and the child, he would also send a lot of gadgets.
For example, the small wood carving carved for Yan Hai and the little wolf hao made for Qinghe were made according to the size of the child's wrist estimated by him, which is convenient for the child to learn to grasp and write.
But the things he sent were more for Cha Jiu.
There are dried cakes with border city characteristics, tea, and a cloak made by the common people after hearing that after Shen Beizhan got married, everyone insisted on giving it to the general's wife.
Cha Jiu stroked the cloak that represented the hearts of the people, and cherished the green daisy in the camphor wood box.
In the two years that Shen Beizhan was not in the capital, the situation in the court and harem also changed drastically.
The emperor suddenly favored a female official Chen, who had the means to pay tribute to the elixir that could make people feel strong again, and united with the second prince to offer many women similar to the Lin family.
Under the drug and excessive indulgence, the emperor's body collapsed and he was seriously ill.
Even if he recovered from his illness later, his body and spirit were no longer the same as before, and he began to slack off on political affairs, which led to a more fierce struggle for power between the princelings and the second prince's party.
There are also many strange things in Beijing.
Song Heng's daughter Song Yuniang was summoned to the palace for a trip, and when she came out, she was a cold corpse.
I heard that he fell and drowned while playing by the pond in the palace.
Song Heng and Mrs. Song returned to the mansion with her body in their arms, and only then did they dare to cry loudly.
Yuan Xiang was full of grief, and he was even more unrestrained when dealing with Song Henglai.
He turned out the reverse poem written by Song Heng two years ago after he was drunk and criticized the current politics and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor was furious, raided the Song Mansion, took away Song Heng's official position, and wanted to give him a glass of wine, but later Concubine Chen pleaded for mercy before he was willing to give up.
The queen avoided her edge, hid directly in the palace and did not come out, and sent someone to tell Cha Jiu not to enter the palace during this time.
In the afternoon, the clear sky suddenly began to darken with clouds and thunder.
Yan Hai hugged the small wooden horse in the yard and walked into the house with difficulty: "It's going to leak!" ”
Qingdai hurriedly corrected him: "Eldest son, it's going to rain." ”
Cha Jiu sat by the window and opened the letter from Shen Beizhan's new arrival.
This time he sent back a butterfly made of ginkgo biloba leaves, which came to life.
Cha Jiu gently released it in the air, and Yan Hai and Qinghe were both attracted and stretched out their lotus-like arms to chase after it.
But the ginkgo butterfly slowly fell back into Cha Jiu's arms.
Shen Chajiu lowered his head and looked at the family letter.
"How is Ayuan?"
"The border city is getting colder, the leaves are falling, and you have to add more clothes in Beijing."
"I am acacia on the ginkgo biloba leaves, hoping that when the new leaves grow next year, I can return to you like this butterfly."
A smile tugged at Cha Jiu's lips.
The torrential rain began to pour, and the agarwood walked along the promenade to take shelter from the rain, patting the soaked skirt.
"Your Highness, someone has come to the palace, saying that the queen has summoned you to the palace to see you."
Cha Jiu closed the family letter, looked at the black clouds and torrential rain in the sky, and raised his eyebrows: "Queen Mother? ”
"Exactly, but the person who came is not the personal palace maid next to the queen's mother, and the slave maid looks at her."
"No, no." Cha Jiu was crisp and neat, "Let's just say that I fell ill and couldn't get up." ”
Agarwood was stunned: "Huh? ”
Cha Jiu pointed to the black clouds and rainstorm outside the window: "The queen mother loves me, how can she let me enter the palace in this rainstorm?" And even if there is something important, the one sent should be a familiar palace maid by her side. ”
Now that the female officials of the harem are favored and are more demons, maybe this time it is her conspiracy to pretend to be the queen.
The fake palace people urged her again and again, and even invited the imperial doctor to see Cha Jiu's physical condition, and she was bound to be brought into the palace.
Cha Jiu directly asked the family of the General's Mansion to beat her out.
The palace people with a blue nose and swollen face returned to the palace to report the situation, and the female official Chen who was leading behind him was half angry.
"Chu Yuan, if you hurt me like this, I will definitely not let you go." Female Official Chen gritted her teeth and was extremely unwilling.
She walked quickly to the Heart Cultivation Palace, changed her tender and sweet face, and wanted to ask the emperor for a will.
The emperor had already begun to grow gray hair on his sideburns, coughing while looking through the folds in his hands.
He's in terrible shape, and he looks a far cry from the heroism he'd hunted before.
But after he listened to Lady Chen's request, the slap he threw into her face was still accurate and ruthless.
The emperor sneered at her: "Since you want to learn from your mother, you should learn to be like you, Ah Wan is kind and straightforward, and your face is now full of vicious tricks, which is extremely ugly." ”
It's really worthy of the blood of that disgusting younger brother, and the more you look at it, the more disgusted you become.
If it weren't for the fact that the face in front of him was eight or nine points similar to Ah Wan, the emperor would never have taken a second look at the current Chen Mengwan.
……
……
……
——————
Don't abuse, Chen Mengwan can't touch a single trace of Cha Jiu's hair, and the next chapter will start to kill the emperor.
