In the afternoon, the warm breeze blows and makes people dizzy and sleepy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Song Ji sat alone in front of the window, her head lowered, revealing a white jade neck under the collar, she had never closed her eyes from last night to now, and she couldn't lift her spirits at this time, and dozed off. Half-asleep and half-awake, she seemed to hear the voice of a person, her body trembled, the whole person woke up, turned her head sideways, and saw the emperor half-lying on the Hu bed, his eyes looking at him.

"When will Your Majesty wake up? The concubine didn't realize it, and she was really responsible. ”

Song Jiqiao's face was slightly red, and she hurriedly stood up, turned her back and raised her hand to pat her cheek to make herself a little more sober, and then bent down to pick up the clear water on the desk and walked in front of the emperor.

"I'm not thirsty."

The emperor raised his hand and waved it, motioning for Song Ji to put down the porcelain cup and sit down in front of him: "Come and chat with me." ”

Song Ji did as she said, as gentle and respectful as ever, waiting for the emperor to speak.

"What time is it?"

The Emperor turned his neck with some difficulty and looked out the window at the sky.

"It's just past the end of the day."

"It's too late......"

When the emperor heard the answer, he lay down again, looking at the roof of the hall with his eyes, and his pale face suddenly looked sad and happy: "At this hour, Xingnan should have left the capital, right?" This little girl is active by nature, she likes novelty the most, and she should be more happy to go to the beautiful place of Wuxing Water Town......"

Song Ji sighed in her heart, and said: "The princess is ready to drive, it has been sent at noon, and she will arrive in Wuxing in mid-July." ”

"The land route is good, although there are bumps, but there are no wind and waves. This girl has never been on a boat, and may not be able to withstand the ripples of the river. ”

The emperor smiled, then looked at Song Ji and said softly, "These days, you have worked hard. ”

"It is the honor and duty of a concubine to be able to serve His Majesty closely."

Song Ji leaned over to put a layer of silk on the emperor, and her movements were gentle and careful.

"You are a creator who loves beauty, but it is a pity that I can hardly appreciate your subtlety, and I only work as a laborer, and I am also a beautiful woman. I promised you that I would let you out of the palace and choose another lover. Now the time has come, Song Ji, I don't know who you want to go to? ”

The emperor looked down at the gentle beauty who had been serving him for most of the year, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes. If it weren't for Song Ji's proper care in the past, he might not have been able to survive until now and fulfill his long-cherished wish. Therefore, I am also very grateful to this beautiful woman and want to repay it.

When Song Ji heard this, her shoulders trembled. The past few days have been nothing short of torture for her, not only physical exertion, but also despair of the future. She has been serving the emperor for a long time, and she has witnessed many secrets that she shouldn't know, and she is even more pessimistic in her heart, and she no longer dares to look at the future. But unexpectedly, I originally thought that the emperor was just appeasing her, but now I brought up the old thing again.

But she also knows that she knows the emperor's situation best, and it is not an exaggeration to say that her fate hangs by a thread, and now she has to arrange for her to leave the palace, which is to give up the struggle for life. Originally, it was a pleasantly surprised arrangement for her, but now she couldn't bear to agree, and her eyes were full of tears and she lowered her head and said: "The concubine has no such thoughts, but I wish to serve Your Majesty for a long time." ”

"Let's go, we must go, if we don't leave now, we may not be able to leave easily in the future. When you are gone, I will have no debts or regrets in the world. ”

The Emperor sighed, and then his face showed a look of majesty: "I should also go, get out of here, and go where I should go." The Son of Heaven is in the middle, how can he live in the side hall for a long time! ”

――――――

The honor team escorting the princess away from the capital can be called huge, in addition to the more than 1,000 people in the Shen family, there are still 2,000 guards and forbidden troops. The flag is full of majesty.

In addition to these attachés, there are dozens of Taicheng ceremonial officials below Taichang Huaheng, who will follow them all the way to Wukang Shen's house, where they will preside over the wedding of the princess and Shen Zhezi.

With such a large team, it would be fine if they took the water route, but after many trade-offs, they finally chose the land route. After all, the river is not quiet, sometimes there are people or chaotic people drifting on the river, there are many people in Jingkou Jinlingliu, although the land route is harder, but after all, it is safe. However, the supplies along the way were very difficult, although Taichung issued an edict to the local government offices along the way to raise supplies and arrange ceremonial driving. However, the situation varies from place to place, and it is difficult to exhaust the numbers.

At this time, it reflected the strength of the Shen family as a wealthy family in Jiangdong, and from the beginning of leaving Danyang, Shen Zhezi sent people to take the lead and inform the families along the way, hoping to facilitate it. There were almost no twists and turns along the way, although the families had different friendships and relatives, they all gave the Shen family face, some people came out, there was food and food, and there were places to meet the needs of huge ceremonies.

Even in Yixing County, where the Shen family's feud with the Zhou family is located, there were no accidents. Although the Xianzong line of the Zhou clan was killed, the remaining clansmen were also second to none in Yixing. When Shen Zhezi went to Jiankang for the first time, he had to turn north because the Zhou family's righteous army was entrenched in Zhiyangxian, Yixing County.

However, after arriving in Yixing this time, the Yijia was welcomed and treated by all families, even the Zhou family. No matter how deep the grudge is, there will always be a day when it will fade. Now that the Shen family is powerful, it has become an indisputable fact, and the Zhou family will not let go of the old grievances, but it will not help, and the Shen family will not be able to do anything.

Maybe one day when the Shen family's family background declines, this old grudge will be turned up again, but at least for now, the Zhou family has to lower the grudge and welcome the princess's honor guard.

In addition to meeting and receiving people from various families recently, Shen Zhezi has one more thing that cannot be ignored. That is, as the distance from the capital is getting farther and farther away, the princess's mood is sometimes good and bad, the little girl has never been so far from home, sometimes there will be novelty and joy, but most of the time she is depressed, and sometimes tears are not stopped.

On this day, after traveling Yangxian, Shen Zhezi had just caught up with the team that had come to pick up and transport supplies of rice and grain, when he heard that the princess's servant had come to report that the princess was in a mood and refused to eat.

For appeasing the princess's emotions, Shen Zhezi was not bored. Although this little girl has been much more sensitive recently, she can still listen to the truth most of the time, and she is not blindly rude and willful.

After hearing this, Shen Zhezi smiled apologetically at his uncle Shen Ke, Shen Ke was busy teaching his son Shen Mu who was playing wild in the capital, and waved his hand after seeing this: "Qingque go quickly, don't be rude princess." ”

Shen Zhezi hurriedly walked to the team, and it didn't take long to see the four-wangxiang car that the princess was riding. The palace people in front of the car looked anxious, among them were the female historians sent by the two queens, who saw Shen Zhezi coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Lord Lang, the princess refuses to eat again, and the servants who serve the meals are all left behind." ”

was intimidated by Shen Zhezi's lesson, and now that the family members have fallen into the hands of the Shen family, when these two female histories saw Shen Zhezi again, they had completely settled down, and they no longer had a arrogant posture, and they were even much more respectful than other palace people, and even the notice submitted to the court had to be read by Shen Zhezi before they were willing to submit it.

The palace people were gossiping, and they couldn't tell why the princess was in a mood again. Shen Zhezi waved his hand, motioned for the eloquent maid Yun Zhi to come forward, and asked, "Yun Zhi lady, do you know why the princess is angry?" ”

Yun Zhi's demeanor was a little strange after hearing this, and he stopped talking about it, and he muttered for a long time before he whispered: "I'm just guessing, it's just from what the maid heard here, Lord Lang must not say too much to the princess that she is a servant." ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help but be even more strange, nodded and said, "Yunzhi lady, please rest assured, I won't say it to the princess." ”

With Shen Zhezi's promise, Yun Zhi told the reason for the incident. It turned out that yesterday there were women from various families in Yixing who came to meet the princess, originally it was just a response to the number of courtesies, and there were no twists and turns, but when talking about interesting things in Wuzhong, one of the women talked about the nursery rhymes related to Shen Zhezi in Wuxing.

At that time, the princess's demeanor was not abnormal, but she asked about it again after the night, and at noon this day, she became annoyed. As for whether this is the case, the servant is only guessing, and he does not dare to judge without permission. Na Yunzhi whispered again: "Lord Lang, don't say that it is a servant, otherwise the princess will not allow the servant to be around anymore." ”

Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, could it be that the little girl was jealous because of this? This made him feel a little strange in his heart, and he didn't know how to feel.

He boarded the car, and just poked his head over the green gauze screen, when he suddenly saw something thrown at him, and hurriedly blocked it with his hand, only to find that it was a powder box, and the princess was sitting in the car, her cheeks bulging with anger.

"You go down, don't get into my car!"

Seeing Shen Zhezi, the princess's pretty face was slightly red, her eyes widened, and she was already in tears.

Shen Zhezi picked up the powder box and put it on the table, the princess glared at him, but turned her body in another direction, obviously angry because of Shen Zhezi.

"The journey is tiring, if the princess doesn't eat, how can her body stand it."

"I don't want to talk to you!"

The princess snorted angrily, and then added: "I thought about it in the morning, but you didn't come to see me, and now I don't want to!" ”

Shen Zhezi sighed in his heart, marrying a little vinegar lady, this fun is really not enough for outsiders. He sat in the carriage, but the princess snorted coldly, and moved inside, leaning on the green gauze screen, not wanting to sit too close to Shen Zhezi.

"It's my fault not to come to see the princess in the morning. Didn't the princess say that she wanted to drink rhombus porridge at lunch the day before yesterday? There are not many clear streams near the left, and I know that there are many such properties in the village here, so I went to visit and borrow them in the morning. In the evening, you can drink it. ”

This little girl left home at a young age, everything she saw was unfamiliar, and she was trapped in the car all the time, so it was inevitable that she would regard Shen Zhezi as the only channel to communicate with the outside world.

Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, a suspicious look appeared on her face: "Really? ”

Shen Zhezi nodded, looking serious, but in fact, there were too many things in the morning, and he forgot to come to see the princess, so it was naturally difficult to tell the truth at this time.

"I'm just saying it casually, and I don't have to drink porridge."

The princess's face turned pale, and then she grabbed the powder box and stuffed it into her sleeve, and asked him left and right: "How long will it take for us to get to Wuxing?" ”

"Soon, if you don't delay, you can reach Wuxing in two more days. When you arrive in Wuxing, you can go by boat, and it doesn't take a day to arrive at my house Wukang. ”

After dealing with this section, Shen Zhezi said with a smile: "If the meal is not up to your appetite, the princess will wait for a while, and I will now let people prepare rhombic porridge." The hard work of the journey is hard, and the diet must be appropriate. The princess has been slightly reduced recently compared to when she was in the capital. ”

Princess Xingnan's mood had already improved, but after hearing this, she sank her face again: "I'm like this, I'm afraid that if you are close to your hometown and think of you Wuxing Baifu Niangzi, you see people differently!" ”

"The sky is sunny, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and its own scenery is dazzling. Morning and evening are opposite, and only one person is allowed to live for a long time. Why bother me, princess! ”

Shen Zhezi sighed and sighed.

When the princess heard this, the corners of her mouth trembled, and then she straightened her face: "People say that your family is rich, and there are many houses and estates, who wants to live in your heart!" ”
