Because of the guards of the imperial guards, the night was very peaceful. In the early morning of the second day, all the masters, courtiers and their families got up early, had breakfast, and started on their way again.
In the carriage of Zhongyonghou's Mansion, Qin Shuang and Qin Xiang were in the same car. Although they didn't sleep well that night, Qin Xiang and Qin Shuang were still very excited. Yesterday they saw the current emperor, the current empress dowager, and the empress from afar. And the masters of the inner palace, not only that, the prince and Cheng Wang, and several other princes, they also saw it from a distance. For those who have been in the palace, it is simply the best reward.
"I don't know what's wrong with my younger sister. The auntie didn't allow us to run around, otherwise we can see how she is..." Qin Shuang said to herself, pulling out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the drawer to eat, It wasn't the first time for Mrs. Hu to come to spring hunting, she was very experienced, and she knew that it was not good to have a big meal when there were many people, so she prepared pastries in their respective carriages. Yesterday and today, they could live better with these pastries.
Qin Xiang's eyes widened when he heard the words, "Ninth Younger Sister follows the Queen Mother, food and carriages are all better than ours, so don't worry."
Qin Shuang magnified while giggling, "Speaking of which, I usually just think about it for myself, but I saw it yesterday. The royal family is the royal family. The majesty of the Tian family today is something that ordinary people can't imagine. Ninth sister is really You are so lucky to be so close to the emperor and the empress dowager, and she and the empress dowager ride in the same chariot."
The grand event in front of the Zhenghua Gate yesterday was unprecedented. Although the Zhongyonghou Mansion was located in the front, the two of them could only stand behind Hu Shi and Qin Chaoyu, and Qin Shu stood in front of Hu Shi and Qin Chaoyu. His gaze was still blocked, but Qin Wan stood beside the queen mother as if they were from two worlds. She stood in a very prominent position throughout the ceremony, just like the fifth princess. Qin Shuang had to say that she was a little jealous at that moment, but after all, she didn't have Qin Wan's life, and it was great to be able to follow Lai Chunhun this time.
"Yes, I really envy my ninth sister."
Qin Xiang also sighed. Obviously, Qin Wan's situation greatly exceeded their expectations. In their resemblance, although Qin Wan was favored, it was only because she cured the Queen Mother, and they had never seen the sky. With the majesty of the family, it is naturally impossible to imagine how enviable Qin Wan's favor is.
"Envy can't be envied." Qin Shuang stuffed a piece of pastry for Qin Xiang, "Hurry up, we have a day to go today, I'm very surprised and pleasantly surprised to let us come this time, when it's over Weishan, talk to Ninth Sister again."
Qin Xiang took the pastry, but his eyes were thoughtful. Qin Shuang glanced at her, swallowed the remaining pastry in a few mouthfuls, and then opened the curtain of the car to look outside. She stretched her neck to have a look Go over, and then said with a playful look, "Why didn't you see the people in the patrol battalion? What do the people in the patrol battalion look like?"
Qin Xiang woke up suddenly, her face was reddish, she pulled Qin Shuang in, "Don't be so rude, what do you look like? There are forbidden troops outside..."
Qin Shuang laughed immediately. The journey was really boring, and they seldom stopped in the middle. They had already rushed enough to enter Beijing earlier, and the scenery was nothing to see. Yesterday, all day, it was by canceling Qin Xiang. Time to pass.
"Don't be nervous. I didn't shout loudly. I just saw that all the soldiers wore the same clothes. I didn't know who Xue Qingshan was. How could I find him?"
Qin Xiang didn't know whether it was shyness or anger, and he frowned slightly, "It's fine to joke in private in the mansion, why do you really want to find him, what does he look like? He is just a soldier, and he has a mission to come here this time , you talk nonsense, be careful to get him into trouble..."
Qin Shuang's eyes were filled with teasing, "What are you worried about because I caused him trouble?"
Qin Xiang's complexion became even more ugly. Qin Shuang saw that he was talking too much, so he quickly raised his hand, "Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense, I'm just teasing you, how can I really make a fuss You know, you just got engaged, and their betrothal gifts haven't been delivered yet, so let people know that you are going to marry at this time, it would be very bad for us."
Seeing Qin Shuang's thoughts changed, Qin Xiang let out a snort and his face relaxed a bit.
Although she can't stick her head out to look, she can open the curtain and look at the long line in front. This line has no end in sight, and in front of the carriage of the Zhongyonghou Mansion are the three major kingdoms' mansions and several great generals. Mansion, further forward, are the carriage frames of several princes and princes, and further forward, are the carriage frames of princes and princes, and Qin Wan is in the front, second only to the emperor's chariot. From the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, the carriage has been the most common carriage, and the bumps along the way are fine. Just by looking at the outside and the position of the convoy, one can see the status of the capital in the capital.
Qin Xiang looked back for a moment, and found that there were many carriages behind them. She squinted her eyes, but didn't look back for long, and continued to look forward. Qin Shuang sat on the side, but looked back He said, "It's not bad that our carriage is in the middle. I thought these things had nothing to do with us, but I didn't expect that uncle would let us come. Uncle and aunt are really kind to us..."
Qin Shuang said this, but Qin Xiang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Qin Shuang's biological mother passed away long ago, but she was different. After coming to the capital for so long, although the marriage was settled, she failed to make her wish. Believe it, her mother also It won't happen, the letter has already been sent to Jinzhou, and the mother's letter has not yet arrived in the capital. Although she knows that her mother will not be satisfied with this marriage, Qin Xiang knows that her mother will never resist. Up to now, they have not spoken that power.
Qin Xiang's nose was slightly sour, and he suddenly missed his mother who was far away in Jinzhou.
"Let us come out this time, isn't it because we are going to leave the cabinet?"
Qin Xiang opened his mouth lightly, a little bit disappointed, Qin Shuang was excited all the way from the start, but at this moment he didn't notice Qin Xiang's strangeness, he just said, "No way, time flies so fast, when I go back, my aunt is afraid Take care of me too, your Xue Qingshan is fine everywhere, but I still don’t know where your husband is.”
Qin Shuang laughed at herself a little bit, Qin Xiang was a descendant, and her appearance was better than her. If Qin Xiang could find someone like Xue Qingshan, then she must find someone who was not as good as Xue Qingshan. What about rank soldiers
Thinking about it this way, she also fell silent. At first, Qin Xiang understood Xue Qingshan's dissatisfaction very well, because every girl would fantasize before getting married. Although she thought it would be great to find someone like Xue Qingshan, but she I also don't want to marry someone who has nothing to offer and is not enterprising. If so, how will I live my life
Qin Shuang thought of the money and things she had accumulated by herself. Her dowry should be prepared by the Marquis, but not too much. When she gets married, how can these pretense make money
The more Qin Shuang thought about it, the more she lost her mind. She almost planned to become a business woman. When she was in a trance, the sound of a horse's hoof was heard. The sound of the horse's hoof was chaotic, and it was galloping past. Qin Shuang was so frightened that she drew the curtains Down here, because Qin Xiang was also in a daze, he didn't react for a while, and the curtains forgot to fall. In an instant, several figures in Chinese clothes came into view, and the person walking in the front was suddenly yesterday morning. His Royal Highness Cheng Wang!
Qin Xiang looked at the person subconsciously. All the curtains of the carriages that King Cheng walked over had come down. Now he saw a man who was boldly lifting the curtain and couldn't help but look over. His eyes met, and King Cheng's eyes flashed and disappeared. He recognized that this was the carriage of Zhongyonghou's mansion, and their horses were not slow. King Cheng just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and galloped forward. On this side, Qin Shuang brought Qin Xiang up to him. Putting down the curtain, he hurriedly said, "Don't look around!"
Qin Xiang seemed to be frightened by Yan Qi's look, "It seems... Cheng, King Cheng..."
Qin Shuang's complexion changed slightly, and he quietly lifted the curtain of the car to look out, but seeing that the people had already left, Qin Shuang said, "Why are you so slow in reacting, it's impossible for ordinary people in our team to ride horses Galloping, it's either the commander of the imperial army, or some important person, you definitely can't look at it too much, it will be bad if you collide with someone."
Qin Xiang patted his chest and exhaled, "Just now I was wondering if my mother was getting better, but I didn't respond in time."
Having said that, Qin Shuang didn't have much to say. Lin's treatment of her was not considered bad in the past, but because of her temperament, although she didn't raise her well, she didn't criticize her for ordinary food and clothing. After hearing Qin Xiang's words, Qin Shuang's expression was also a little gloomy, "With the second brother here, my mother's illness will be cured, don't worry, you I don’t know if my mother and my second brother will be brought to the capital for the big wedding, it would be great if I can take them over.”
Qin Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, yes, it would be great if he could bring his mother into the capital.
…
…
In the queen mother's carriage, Qin Wan was playing black and white chess with Yan Sui, Yan Sui still used the stupid method of the past, Qin Wan followed him, and the queen mother watched with great interest, "You studied medicine with your father when you were young, you must It was hard work, right?"
Qin Wan looked at the chessboard and said, "In the beginning, it was really hard work, but it was okay later on. My father is very good at teaching, so it was not so difficult for me to learn. In addition, my mother also likes to read medical books, so I was fascinated by it."
The queen mother smiled and nodded, "So that's it. I said, you must like your excellent medical skills, and you have put in a lot of effort. Your understanding is good, and it will not be difficult to learn anything."
Qin Wan laughed, "If the Queen Mother asks me to learn martial arts, I can't do it. If I want to do anything well, I have to work hard. I watched Yue Ning practice martial arts in Jinzhou. day slack."
The queen mother raised her eyebrows, "Oh? That little girl is so powerful?"
Qin Wan nodded, "That's right, I see, it's very demeanor of my adoptive father when he was young!"
The queen mother smiled lovingly, and her eyes flashed to recall the past, "She was a very well-behaved child when she was young, she didn't like to cry, I like to hug her the most, other little dolls cry when they are hugged Nao Nao, but she is not, I said at that time, this little girl will be great when she grows up."
"Yes, it's a pity that women cannot be allowed to go to the battlefield, otherwise—"
Qin Wan said something subconsciously while making a move, and felt that something was wrong when he said it, and couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother embarrassedly, "Forgive the Queen Mother, I mean..."
It is a national policy not to let women go to the battlefield, and it is not good for Qin Wan to say so in front of the Queen Mother.
The queen mother immediately laughed when she heard the words, "You girl, there is nothing you can't say. Once upon a time, I thought so too. When I was a child, I watched my father perform martial arts and wanted to touch those swords, guns and sticks. But my mother said that my daughter learned it at home. Martial arts are useless, not only that, my mother has long thought that even if I don’t enter the palace, I will marry into the family of these princes in Lin’an City, so, it’s still my father who insists on not letting me learn those. Sex, take me to fight a few times from time to time."
The queen mother was talking, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and her eyes were a little more youthful. Qin Wan was very happy to see such a queen mother, so she whispered slyly, "It turns out that the queen mother also wants to talk to me." the same?"
The Empress Dowager laughed loudly, "Isn't it?! I told the late Emperor that year." Then, the Empress Dowager's eyes showed a bit of tenderness. Straightforward, not as well-mannered as the noble ladies of Lin'an, the late Emperor would not look at me highly."
The Empress Dowager was the first wife of the first emperor, and the eldest son and the second son were both from the Empress Dowager, which shows that she loves the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was a Empress all her life, and her own son succeeded her. The honor in this life is naturally due to the late emperor's love and respect for her. Qin Wan listened and thought of the queen mother when she was young.
The queen mother sighed again, "In this world, it's hard for women. Whether it's me or you in the future, there must be a lot of embarrassments, but it's already great to be like us."
Just like Yan Sui doesn't know where the corn comes from, many of the noble ladies in Lin'an City don't know the sufferings of the people at the lowest level in the world, but the queen mother is different. Looking at the kind face of the queen mother, Qin Wan feels more and more for this old man in his heart. With love and admiration from the bottom of my heart, I couldn't help talking about what I saw along the way when I entered Beijing earlier.
The Queen Mother listened and said, "Will it take two months to travel from Jinzhou to the capital?"
The Empress Dowager knew that Qin Wan had entered the capital a few years ago, but she didn't know how long Qin Wan had been there. Now that she knew the time, suspicions arose in her heart. Naturally, she didn't know what Qin Wan did along the way.
Qin Wan hesitated before saying, "I encountered some trouble on the road—"
The queen mother raised her eyebrows, "I heard that when you were in Yuzhou, you lived in the mansion of the Pang family in Yuzhou. It was later found out that the Pang family was the culprit in the gold robbery more than ten years ago?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Exactly, there was a murder case in the mansion at that time, so we stayed there for a few more days."
The queen mother nodded, "I really didn't expect that, I only found out about this a few days ago. This case was a huge hit back then, but I never expected that it would be bumped into by Yan Chi and let him break it." !"
There was pride in the Empress Dowager's tone, but she didn't know that the most important person to solve this case was Qin Wan. Qin Wan smiled brightly, "Exactly, I didn't expect it at the time, it turned out to be a golden catastrophe!" case."
"Of course you don't know much about this case. Back then, this case almost led to the defeat of the Da Zhou army. Although it was not defeated, it was still a disastrous victory. Therefore, the culprit is simply not enough death!"
"I heard that Prince Rui was also leading the army back then?"
The queen mother nodded, "Yes, so it is conceivable that this case is considered to be Yan Chi's heart."
Qin Wan nodded. She was in Yuzhou at that time, and she understood the significance of this case to Yan Chi.
Having said that, the Empress Dowager recounted how tragic the great war was, and Qin Wan sighed as she heard it. Qin Wan respected the soldiers who defended the frontier and responded to the enemy very much, and so did the Empress Dowager. The more they talked, the more they could speak. go somewhere.
On this side, in the carriage at the front, Yan Huai asked Yuan Qing while handling government affairs, "Is there something wrong with the Queen Mother?"
Yuan Qing smiled and said, "It's very good. Just now, the attendant reported that the Empress Dowager was talking with Ninth Miss. She smiled from time to time, and the Empress Dowager's laughter could be heard outside the carriage."
Yan Huai stopped the imperial brush and smiled, "Jiu girl is really good."
Yuan Qing nodded quickly, "Yes, it's thanks to Miss Nine that the Empress Dowager can leave the palace this time."
Yan Huai nodded, and after a while, Yan Huai suddenly said, "By the way, the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty found Yan Chi?"
Speaking of this matter, Yuan Qing smiled even more. Although Princess Tuobawu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was careful to deceive others, but in fact, there was nothing that could be hidden from the eyes of the emperor. I heard that many squeezed cases have been found out for retrial by the people below, and they have not entered the palace for several days."
Knowing Yan Chi's diligence, Yan Huai squinted his eyes for a moment, but didn't show any emotion, and just continued, "Then what do you think if I follow the Northern Wei princess' wish?"
Yuan Qing rolled his eyes, "Princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty... her status is honorable, but, after all, she is a foreigner, Prince Rui probably won't like it... and the Empress Dowager..."
Yan Huai smiled, "I think so too."
…
…
Yan Chi had the instinct to steer the horse, but he couldn't openly steer the horse beside the Empress Dowager's chariot, so he got into the chariot too, and in the chariot, beside his couch, there was also some secret letter sent from nowhere.
Bai Feng looked at those secret channels, "Why did Your Highness suddenly investigate this matter?"
Yan Chi frowned, "I was thinking about this matter when I first returned to Beijing, but the emperor ordered me to rush to Jinzhou in time, otherwise, I would have already had a clue by now." Said his eyes darkened, "But no Come to think of it, the Ministry of Criminal Justice doesn’t even have a case file.”
Bai Feng thought for a while, "It's really strange not to be in the Ministry of Punishment, nor in Dali Temple."
The reason why Yan Chi ordered someone to reorganize the treasury of the Ministry of Justice was to find files related to the King Jin case. However, there was no single page of records on the King Jin case in the entire treasury. This is really weird. Chi suspected that the dossier was in Dali Temple, and ordered people to search secretly at Dali Temple, but there was no result.
"According to the usual practice, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will keep files when princes and princes commit crimes. This time the files are gone, and someone must have instructed them. It's just that it's unknown who gave the instructions."
Bai Feng said casually, "The files of the Ministry of Punishment, logically speaking, only Lord Shangshu can read them at will, could it be..."
Yan Chi shook his head, "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long term. For the time being, we can only investigate the affairs of the Jin Palace secretly."
Bai Feng sorted out the letters Yan Chi had read, "Before King Jin's accident, everything in Prince Jin's Mansion was as usual, and it didn't look like there was any trouble, but after that, the people in Prince Jin's Mansion disappeared."
The letter on the table was sent from Cangzhou in the north, and Weizhou in the south. These two places both have the old Jin Palace. At that time, he sent people to track down the old people of the Jin Palace, but finally got the news that all the old people of the Jin Palace died during the exile without exception.
This is a coincidence? Or someone did it on purpose...
If someone did it deliberately, who is the person behind it
A cold expression appeared on Yan Chi's face. Hearing this for the first time, he had doubts in his heart. However, when he was sent to Jinzhou, he lost the best opportunity for investigation. Now that there is no evidence of his death, he found nothing.
However, Qin Wan said that as long as everything happens, it will leave traces.
The case of the King of Jin was only a surprise at first. The prince and prince of the dynasty killed the favorite concubine in the inner palace. The identities of these two people alone can remind people of many stories. Is it a taboo love that violates ethics? Or is it involved in the insidious ugliness of the struggle for glory? No matter what the reason is, if Jin Wang is really the murderer, then this case is just an ordinary homicide case. May I ask which case did not involve some reasons
But now, the file of this case has disappeared.
The tragic death of Concubine Jin Han Yuan and King Jin committing suicide in fear of crime are not incomprehensible developments. Why do files disappear? Why would none of the old people in Prince Jin's Mansion stay? If it is said that there are no ghosts in it, Yan Chi will not believe it no matter what!
But in the end, what is this ghost? Who is it
To be able to quietly dispose of all the old people in the Jin Palace, at least, it should be from the royal family...
Thinking of this, several names appeared in Yan Chi's mind.
…
…
The spring hunting team set off from Fengming Slope early in the morning. When the sun slanted to the west, we could already see the Weishan Mountain. In the early spring, the whole Weishan Mountain was stacked with mountains. The flags planted faintly visible in the forest are the signs of the hunting grounds planted by the vanguard team who came here one month in advance to prepare.
At the foot of Weishan Mountain, a crystal-clear Weishui River meanders past. At the foot of the mountain on the left side of Weishui River is where the spring hunting camp is located. Going up the lower reaches of the Shuihe River, and after walking for more than half an hour, they arrived at the campsite, and saw the spring grass on the banks of the Weishui River like a shade, like a green carpet laid from top to bottom, and on this carpet, there has long been The vanguard team set up the big camp. The majestic big tents are like palaces. They are the residences of the emperor, the queen mother, and the empress. His residence stretched up and down the Weishui River for a mile or two, and the momentum was enormous.
The carriage was driving by the Weishui River, and before reaching the camp, Qin Wan smelled the scent of green grass. When he lifted the curtain, he saw that the Weishui River was clear and shallow, and the water was glistening, like a jade belt falling from the sky. And the mountains on the right are dense and verdant, and the distant mountains on the left are like swords and vast like daisies. Qin Wan took a deep breath and felt extremely refreshed!
"It's the Weishan hunting ground again!" The Queen Mother sighed, pointing to the peaks on the left side of the Weishui River, "This mountain is called Yubi Peak, and the one behind it is called Yujian Peak. Every time I look at these majestic mountains , then lamented the power of nature ghost axe."
The mountains on the left side of the Yudai River are extremely steep, each peak rises from the ground, and the cliffs are as straight as a pen like a sword, which really corresponds to their respective names. The mountain hunting ground will appear mediocre, but this is an excellent hunting ground. The mountain in Weishan hunting ground is not high or steep, and you can ride up and down freely, and the dense forest is like weaving. The rare birds and animals that emerge in winter are excellent natural hunting grounds.
As the team gradually approached the camp, Zhao Yu, the deputy commander of the Yulin Army who came first, had led his troops to greet him at the gate of the camp. When Yanhuai's chariot arrived, they immediately knelt down and shouted long live Amidst the shouting and tsunami-like prayers, the entire Great Zhou Chunhunting team entered the camp.
When Qin Wan helped the queen mother get off the chariot, Yan Huai was already standing on the high steps in front. Seeing the queen mother coming down, she quickly stepped forward to help the queen mother. On this side, queen Zhao Shuhua and Feng Lingsu also came from behind. After following, Zhao Shuhua saw that the emperor was supporting the queen mother himself, so she could also come forward, and Qin Wan hurriedly stepped aside.
The queen mother was supported up the steps from left to right. Qin Wan turned around and took Yan Sui's hand.
After spending two days together, Yan Sui no longer rejected Qin Wan, so she pulled her back.
The entire camp was built at the foot of the mountain. Although the foot of the mountain was covered with green grass, several main tents were built on high platforms in order to show the royal demeanor. Watching the queen mother stand still, she looked up, and saw that the entire camp was planned very neatly, and the clear water of the Yudai River was so pleasing to the eye in early spring.
Yan Huai's carriage was at the front, and Yan Huai got off the carriage station, and there were still carriages and horses entering the camp outside. He was very satisfied when he saw that all the carriages and horses were in order, and then praised the deputy commander Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu He is only in his twenties, and he is also the son of a family of military commanders. Yan Huai praised him for his errand, and his face is full of spirits!
The Fifth Princess stood beside Zhao Shuhua with the little fox in her arms, blinking her eyes at the green and jade river, "My queen, the last time I came here, the jade belt river didn't seem to be so wide."
Zhao Shuhua smiled and said, "There was a flood a year ago, and the water rose several times, and the river became wider."
The blue-eyed little white fox, lying in the arms of the fifth princess like a cat, is very cute. The fifth princess smiled and said, "Then I want to go to the river to play later, can I?"
Zhao Shuhua laughed, and the queen mother said affectionately, "The river is still very cold today. I really want to go and have someone to accompany me, but I dare not fall into the water to know?"
After the Queen Mother spoke, Zhao Shuhua said helplessly, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother will help you speak, you will get your wish!"
Yan Zhen giggled, repeatedly reassuring herself that nothing would go wrong.
The camp is centered on the main tent, and in front of the main tent, there is a huge square, where rituals of offering sacrifices to heaven and performing martial arts can be held, and on both sides of the square, there is a neat row of auxiliary tents, followed by the courtiers. The closer the residence of the accompanying family members is to the main tent, the more noble their status is. The female family members are on the left and the male officials are on the right. There is a temporary fence around the outermost part of the master's tent. Outside the fence are the guards. Compared with the large tents of the masters, the military tents of the army are much simpler.
In addition to the military tents, there are also military tents, military tents responsible for meals, etc. In addition, there is a huge horse farm in the downstream direction, which is the horses used for more than half a month of spring hunting.
After roughly looking at the layout of the camp, Yan Huai personally sent the Queen Mother into the big tent. Seeing Qin Wan holding Yan Sui's hand and taking good care of Yan Sui, Yan Huai couldn't help but praise Qin Wan, Seeing this, Zhao Shuhua naturally expressed her praises.
The queen mother knew that Yan Huai was still correcting the memorials along the way, so she said, "The emperor and the queen are tired too, you should go and have a rest too." Seeing that Yan Zhen and the others followed, the queen mother smiled, "While the weather is still Morning, if you want to play, go for a walk, you don’t have to stay with me, I’m in good health.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Wan, and the Queen Mother looked at Yan Zhen again and said, "Zhen'er, when you play later, come over and bring Jiu Maidou and your Jiu Brother, both of them are here for the first time, you bring They go around."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Shuhua again, "Find someone safe to accompany you."
Zhao Shuhua knew what the Empress Dowager meant and quickly agreed, and then left with Yan Huai.
Qin Wan stepped forward when everyone was gone, "Why does the Empress Dowager ask Her Highness the Princess to take me to play? I don't like these things."
The queen mother tapped her forehead lightly, "Silly girl, since you are here, how can you stay in the tent with my old lady all day, of course I have to go out for a walk, I am a little tired, I have to lie down for a while Lie down, look at Xiao Jiu, he is very energetic, I am relieved that you take him with you, since he is the first time he comes back, take him to let loose as well."
Qin Wan listened, and then nodded in response, and soon, Yan Zhen followed the order to find him. Behind him was the young deputy commander Zhao Yu and Nanny Qi who was beside the queen, and there were still servants guarding the road outside , What I saw was worrying.
Seeing that there were many people, the Queen Mother rushed Qin Wan and Yan Sui out.
Yan Zhen hugged the little fox wherever she went, Qin Wan pulled Yan Sui, and Su Momo and Chen Momo followed behind to take care of them. Yan Zhen looked back while walking, "Miss Jiu, brother Jiu can actually listen to you."
Qin Wan was slightly surprised, "Why does Your Highness Princess say that?"
Yan Zhen smiled and said, "Ninth brother won't let me hold his hand, he won't talk when he sees us."
Yan Zhen was favored by Zhao Shuhua because she was straightforward and naive. When she said this, Su Momo and Chen Momo looked at each other, and Qin Wan smiled and said, "I have been with His Highness the Ninth Prince for a long, long time. He was willing to let me hold hands only when it was Reversi, and His Highness Ninth Prince is young, so he only trusts you if you want to play games with him."
Yan Zhen blinked her eyes, "Ah, then I don't want to, I can't sit still."
Madam Su breathed a sigh of relief, and was very grateful to Qin Wan. Yan Sui's temperament, he only talked a lot in front of the Queen Mother, and he never talked too much to others, although there were rumors of his temperament in the palace. It turned out that he had been frightened stupid because he saw the death of Concubine Jin with his own eyes. Qin Wan said this, but made an excuse for Yan Sui's temper.
Others are still settling in their tents, and the horses and chariots on the square have been moved to the parking place in the downstream direction. For a while, there are only soldiers patrolling back and forth in the entire camp square. The soldiers saw Qin Wan and the fifth princess approaching, and then saw Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu waved his hand, and the guards all stepped aside.
Today is a cloudy day, although it is already afternoon, the sky is not visible.
Yan Zhen went out of the camp gate and went straight to the river, talking to the little fox in her arms while walking, Qin Wan looked down at Yan Sui, but saw Yan Sui's eyes sparkling, obviously feeling novel about all this.
"Her Royal Highness, walk slowly—"
Yan Zhen's personal servant reminded her of her background, but Yan Zhen ignored it, "It's fine, I remember seeing a lot of soldiers fishing by the river when I came last time—"
Yan Zhen walked fast, but Qin Wan followed Yan Sui, and even though it was early spring, the wind was still a bit cold, Qin Wan adjusted the small cloak for Yan Sui, and when he raised his eyes, he saw someone following behind him When he came over, it was Liu Yun, the third prince of Xiliang. Liu Yun's eyes fell on Yan Zhen's body, and he smiled coquettishly.
Qin Wan knew Liu Yun's purpose, but felt that the prince of Xiliang was a little impatient.
"Five princesses—"
Liu Yun yelled, Yan Zhen immediately turned her head, seeing that it was Liu Yun, Yan Zhen smiled deeply, "Third Prince, why did you come out—"
Liu Yun didn't answer, just looked at the little fox, "Have you behaved these days?"
Yan Zhen's face was full of smiles, "Of course you're good, that's right, I wanted to name her, but after thinking about it for several days, I couldn't think of a nice one. What did the Third Prince call her before?"
Liu Yun smiled as he followed Yan Zhen forward, "This little guy was brought back for the princess. The princess is its owner. Naturally, the princess will name her. Of course I won't name her."
"It has blue eyes. I want to look at her eyes and name her, but after thinking about it for a long time, I don't think it deserves it. These days, I call it Xiaolan, but its eyes are like gems. Why? Can you use such a casual name?"
Yan Zhen seemed to be very worried about this matter. Liu Yun turned his head, but he couldn't think of any nice name, so he had an idea and smiled, "Actually, why should the princess stick to the name? The princess loves it, even if it is a A simple name can also have a deep meaning, and it doesn’t have to be a special name to be good.”
Yan Zhen was worried about this, her eyes lit up when she heard the words, "Yes, the third prince is really unruly and unruly, I like him, why bother to stick to the name, Xiaolan? I will call you like that from now on, okay?"
The little fox didn't speak, just rubbed against Yan Zhen's arms, now she didn't need to wear a bell, the little fox really recognized it as its only master, which made Yan Zhen very satisfied.
Seeing that Yan Zhen loved this little fox so much, Liu Yun felt more and more that he had given the right gift, so he said, "Your Highness the Princess has just arrived in the camp, why did you come out? The journey is exhausting, why doesn't the Princess rest a little longer?"
Yan Zhen shook her head, "I'm not tired, I wanted to leave the palace a long time ago."
Liu Yun's eyes brightened slightly, "Princess doesn't like to stay in the palace?"
Yan Zhen nodded, "What's the meaning of the palace? The palace is just that big. I've been looking forward to the spring hunt for a long time."
"Has the princess ever thought about going further afield?"
"Of course I want to, but my mother won't let me run around."
Liu Yun asked, "What's the princess' favorite scenery? Do you like high mountains and flowing water? Or vast rivers? Or vast deserts, or endless green fields? Or the northern land of ice and snow?"
Yan Zhen shook her head, "I don't like snowy days that much, it's too cold, I like mountains and water."
Liu Yun looked at the Weishan Mountain and the Weishui River, and then looked at the steep peak opposite, "It turns out that the princess likes green mountains and green waters, but it's a pity that the princess can't go to Xiliang. There are countless scenery like Xiliang. There is also a palace, which is on a peach blossom island. The island is on a mirror lake. Every spring, I go to the island to live for two months."
"Peach Blossom Island?" Yan Zhen's eyes lit up, "Is it Xanadu?"
Liu Yun nodded, "That's right. The island has everything you need, and it's isolated from the world. The perch in the lake is delicious. I caught the perch with my own hands, and the peach blossom perch soup made by the servants is the best in the world."
"According to what the third prince said, it really is the place where immortals live!"
Liu Yun smiled and said, "If the princess can go to Xiliang in the future, I will definitely take the princess to the Peach Blossom Island to taste the peach blossom perch soup."
Yan Zhen's eyes showed longing, but then her eyes darkened, "Hey, it's too difficult, I can't leave the palace now, and I won't be able to go around when I get married in the future. I heard that the princesses of the Northern Wei Dynasty don't need to stay in the palace all the time. Wait, I'm so envious."
"Princess never thought of marrying somewhere else? Even though Dazhou is rich in heaven and earth, there are good scenery in other places in the world besides Dazhou. If the princess doesn't go out, she will never know what it looks like outside."
Yan Zhen thought for a while, but frowned, "It's not good, marrying somewhere else, isn't it because you left your mother and father?"
Liu Yun looked at Yan Zhen affectionately, "His Royal Highness is the jewel in the palm of the emperor and empress, so naturally she is reluctant to part with it, but the princess will always marry in the future, and once married, she will not stay in the palace. The emperor and queen—"
