Chapter 60: Lady Begonia

Time flies quickly, and Su Qingqing has been dead for seven days. Early in the morning of this day, Ye Ningxiang changed into plain clothes, prepared Su Qingqing's favorite meal before his death, and went to worship Su Qingqing with Mu Xize.

It's sunny outside, and even the dust floating in the air is extra refreshing because of the sunlight. Ye Ningxiang likes the sun the most, but although she feels the sunshine all the time along the way, she still can't be interested. Along the way, Ye Ningxiang didn't say a word, and kept rubbing the only object left by Su Qingqing over and over again with both hands, the emerald green jade.

In just seven days, Su Qingqing's tombstone was already covered with dust, Ye Ningxiang sighed softly, and then carefully wiped Su Qingqing's tombstone clean. finally knelt in front of Su Qingqing's tomb and smiled very reluctantly.

"Qingqing, today is your first seventh, I'll come to see you, you see I brought you your favorite meal, you must eat more, otherwise you will be hungry on Huangquan Road." Then, she took out a very delicate small wine cup, poured it full of wine, and continued to smile and say: "I also prepared wine, it is your Shuozhou specialty Luhua wine, it is very delicious, you can taste it!"

Speaking of this, Ye Ningxiang couldn't hold back the tears that had been suppressed for a long time, and cried again. Mu Xize gently patted Ye Ningxiang's back and comforted, "Okay, okay, you will make Qingqing feel at ease." ”

Ye Ningxiang looked at Mu Xize with teary eyes, wiped her tears with her sleeve again, and said, "Well, I won't cry anymore." After that, Ye Ningxiang didn't speak for a long time, and it seemed that it took a lot of effort to stop her tears.

In her previous life, Ye Ningxiang was cowardly, assertive, and suffered a lot of bullying and framing, but she was very emotional, if someone treated her well, she would spend all her body and mind to treat that person well.

In this life, Ye Ningxiang has become bold and resolute, decisive and capable, but the only thing that remains unchanged is her affection, as long as someone treats her a little better, even if it is with ulterior motives, she will be very moved, and treat that person wholeheartedly.

This Su Qingqing was Ye Ningxiang's first friend when she entered the palace, although Su Qingqing later did something immoral, but Ye Ningxiang had unconsciously regarded Su Qingqing as an important person like her father, and she still couldn't get out of the pain after seven days.

After staying in front of Su Qingqing's tomb for a while, Ye Ningxiang, accompanied by Mu Xize, reluctantly went down the mountain. The carriage that was supposed to stop at the bottom of the mountain was now gone, replaced by two very strong and sturdy tall horses.

"Lord Wang, why did you change the carriage to a war horse?"

"Today I have to go to the forbidden army camp in the capital to inspect the army, so naturally I can't go in a carriage. I saw that you were depressed before, so I never talked to you. If you don't want to go, you can go back to the palace first. ”

Ye Ningxiang knew that Mu Xize hoped that he could go with him, otherwise why would he prepare two war horses? I didn't tell her before, but I just hoped that she could worship with peace of mind and not be distracted by miscellaneous matters.

The forbidden army camp is a place that Ye Ningxiang has never been to, if she has no mission, she will definitely choose to go back to the palace first, but with her current status, she must go with Mu Xize.

"Didn't the prince say that I am your eyes, naturally where the prince goes, where I go. Ye Ningxiang said as she led the horse to Mu Xize's side, and then carefully helped Mu Xize onto the horse.

Because of the delay in the cemetery too much, it was close to noon when the two of them arrived at the forbidden army barracks. The commanders of the army had been waiting outside the barracks for a long time, and because of the cold weather, their cheeks were red from the cold, and some of them seemed to have snot hanging on their faces.

Seeing Mu Xize, the chiefs first respectfully greeted Mu Xize, and then very politely led Mu Xize towards the camp where they were stationed. Ye Ningxiang could see that although they were very respectful on the surface and had a smile on their faces, as soon as they looked away from Mu Xize, they immediately showed a very impatient look, as if they were very dissatisfied with Mu Xize's late arrival to inspect the army.

There was a large open space in the middle of the camp, and the field was full of soldiers, who had stood for hours in the bitter cold wind, and although they were all in good health, they were all dressed in single clothes, and they were already shivering with cold.

Although standing in a military posture in winter can be regarded as an exercise of the perseverance of soldiers, but this time they are not military training at all, but because a prince who has just taken charge of military power routinely came down to inspect and inspect, in order to look good, they let them freeze outside for several hours.

This is fundamentally different from standing in a military posture, although it is not said on the surface, but from the anger that the soldiers can hardly hide, Ye Ningxiang can feel their strong dissatisfaction with Mu Xize, the prince who can be late for inspection.

Ye Ningxiang felt that inspecting the army was nothing more than to see what the daily life in the army looked like, and there was no need to make it so formal and scene-based, which made her suffer and lost her reality. But maybe they have their reasons for doing this, but Ye Ningxiang doesn't know much about the things in the army, and she is just a palace maid, so she has been following Mu Xize and not speaking.

Lin Shicheng, the general who had just returned to the court seven days ago, had already waited in front of the venue in advance, and in such a cold wind, Lin Shicheng still exuded the spirit of a general who was proud of the world.

Probably admiring Lin Shicheng from the bottom of his heart, the moment he saw Lin Shicheng, Ye Ningxiang unconsciously smiled at him. Lin Shicheng also seemed to recognize her, and also smiled at her, which was regarded as a response.

What Ye Ningxiang didn't expect was that the first thing Mu Xize did when he walked to the front of the venue was to apologize for his late behavior.

I saw Mu Xize kneeling in front of the soldiers very sincerely, and deliberately puffed up his breath and said loudly: "This king is late today, and he has committed a taboo in the army, and this king is here to kowtow to the soldiers in the army to make amends, and I hope that the soldiers can give this king a chance to make up for his merits, and I will do my best to develop and grow from the army!"

Even if the superior person makes a mistake himself, he often refuses to admit his mistake for the sake of his own face, let alone abandon his dignity to make amends to others. The soldiers were accustomed to seeing high-ranking officials and nobles who were high up and did not recognize their mistakes, and suddenly a prince who knelt down to make amends in person appeared, not only was his anger completely gone, but he also wished that it had reached the point where he was looking forward to the order of Mu Xize

Ye Ningxiang saw it in her eyes, and secretly sighed in her heart that Mu Xize's seemingly simple behavior just captured the psychology of the soldiers, which not only eliminated the misunderstanding, but also successfully won the hearts of the people, no wonder he still has so many supporters until now.

After that, Mu Xize began to routinely inspect the army, leaving Ye Ningxiang to wander between the tents alone.

After wandering around for a while, Ye Ningxiang felt that the weather was too cold, so she casually entered an empty camp tent, and faintly heard the conversation between the two soldiers outside the camp tent.

"The general is back, is Mrs. Begonia also back?"

"That's for sure, when did Mrs. Begonia leave the general! Madame is good when she comes back, and she can help take care of the big and small affairs in the army!"

"It's not, the general is talented, but I didn't expect his wife to be even more beautiful, if only I could marry a woman like Mrs. Begonia in the future!"

Mrs. Begonia, Ye Ningxiang had never heard of it before, but listening to the conversation between the two, it seemed that this Mrs. Begonia was Lin Shicheng's wife, and she seemed to live in the barracks, and she was deeply loved by the officers and soldiers in the army.

Just when Ye Ningxiang was curious about what kind of person Mrs. Begonia was, a very loud voice suddenly came from outside the tent, "Mrs. Begonia is back!"

Then there was a commotion. The soldiers who stayed in the camp left the camp at the same time, all smiling and delighted, as if they had been looking forward to the return of Mrs. Begonia for a long time.

Ye Ningxiang also followed those people in the direction where Mrs. Begonia came.

I saw a simple carriage slowly approaching the camp, and when the carriage stopped, a beautiful young woman in her twenties dressed in a plain blue dress stepped out of the carriage. Ye Ningxiang felt that this young woman should be Mrs. Begonia in the mouth of the soldiers, she thought that Mrs. Begonia was an unsmiling, dignified and virtuous person, but in fact she was very approachable, and kept smiling and greeting the soldiers who came to greet her.

But when Ye Ningxiang really saw Mrs. Begonia's face clearly, she was shocked, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and looked carefully, it was still the face she had just seen. That face is the same as Mu Xize's former concubine Zhou Xiaomei, but Zhou Xiaomei was implicated because she saved herself, was assigned to the military camp, and died of illness in less than a year, how could this person be Zhou Xiaomei?

However, even if the two people have the same appearance, their voices and temperaments will be different, but this Mrs. Begonia is no different from Zhou Xiaomei in any aspect. Ye Ningxiang is almost certain that Mrs. Begonia is Zhou Xiaomei.

This week, Xiaomei not only did not die, but also became the wife of the general of Zhenguo, and now she has won the love of all the soldiers, such a reversal of life circumstances has made Ye Ningxiang's originally guilty heart have great comfort.

Just as Ye Ningxiang was pondering, Mrs. Haitang looked at Ye Ningxiang and said with a smile: "There are few women in the barracks, which soldier's wife are you?"

"I, I am the maid of His Royal Highness King Ning, and I came with His Highness. ”

Others may not be able to feel it, but Ye Ningxiang can clearly feel a trace of panic that Madame Haitang faintly revealed when she heard the words of His Royal Highness King Ning.

Probably not wanting others to find out about the abnormality, Mrs. Begonia then smiled and said to the soldiers: "The emperor gave my husband some rewards a few days ago, and I exchanged them for grain, and the grain cart will arrive later." ”

When the soldiers heard that General Lin had exchanged his reward for food for them, they were moved to tears and shouted: "Long live General Lin! Long live Lady Begonia!"

"General Lin, did you hear a sergeant shouting long live you?" Mu Xize said with a smile after hearing the shout.

Hearing Mu Xize say this, General Lin's face was a little unnatural, "Really, why didn't I hear it." ”

"Who is Mrs. Begonia?" Mu Xize continued.

"She is my wife, how does the prince know my wife's name?" Lin Shicheng replied calmly.

"What I heard was as if your wife had come to the barracks to look for you. Mu Xize continued to say with a smile.

Hearing that Begonia was coming to the barracks, Lin Shicheng's eyes, which were originally majestic, were instantly tender and full of love, and he smiled very sweetly: "If the prince doesn't dislike it, can he come and meet my wife with me?"

Mu Xize happily agreed to Lin Shicheng's invitation, and walked in front of Mrs. Haitang under the guidance of Lin Shicheng, and then greeted very respectfully: "Hello Mrs. Lin." ”
