The carriage had traveled all the way north from Chuangzhou and was about to reach the edge of Youzhou. The vegetation by the roadside was becoming more lively, and it was no longer as bald as before.
When the carriage arrived at Youzhou Province, I remembered the days when I went to Youzhou City to pick up Concubine Zhang. Although I didn't walk the same path as I did today, the qi in Youzhou City always made me look forward to it.
I looked at Noble Consort Zhang next to me. As we gradually moved away from the Southern Dynasty, I felt that he was slowly becoming quiet.
Although he wasn't noisy at first, he was even more peaceful now. His soul seemed to have stopped in a certain scenery that he had just passed by. Compared to when he was in Weiyang Palace, he seemed to have a more peaceful feeling.
The carriage suddenly stopped, and a loud roar came from outside the carriage. It sounded like a very familiar female voice.
I pulled open the curtain and looked out. Another carriage that was smaller than this one had quickly turned around and stopped in the middle of the road.
I got off the carriage and saw Song'e coming down from the opposite carriage.
"Your Majesty!"
"Why are you here? Didn't I make a 'me' and put it in the palace?!”
"You're still talking!" She took out a pile of rags and said," You haven't sewed up a few important joints properly. It will be deflated at night. This morning, when I finished making the pig fat cake and brought it out of the window, I didn't believe that you could really be indifferent. Besides, I even told 'you' in the palace that I made the pig fat cake into the appearance of the imperial concubine today! You actually didn't come out?"
Zhang Xiaomang was still in the carriage not far away. I quickly covered her mouth.
And I really can't. Whether it's for the pig fat pancake or my imperial concubine.
" Then... why don't you go shopping in the north with me..." I said to her very obsequiously.
"You didn't take such a big risk just to go shopping in Bei Chao, did you? Besides, there are many good things in the south…I chased you for a long time!”Song'e angrily shouted in my ear. She was so noisy.
" That's different…" I whispered into her ear." This time, I really need to buy something from the north…"
"Why?" Her head was full of question marks, indicating that she really didn't understand my thoughts.
"…Don't worry about it."
Seeing that I was keeping her in suspense, she walked behind me." Is there anyone else in the carriage?”
…" I was wondering if I should tell her that Noble Consort Zhang had also come out.
I don't know why he came out today. There are many things in his heart that I don't understand.
But he is my imperial consort. I can feel that he came out secretly, just like me. We don't want anyone to know.
I came out this time for him. If he's unhappy, then what's the point of me putting in so much effort?
I leaned lazily against the wall of the carriage, picking my ears and putting on airs." Who dares to sit in the same carriage as me? Of course, there's no one in the car."
It wasn't too far away, just a wall away, so the people in the carriage could clearly hear what I said.
He didn't say anything after hearing me say this. I thought I was doing the right thing.
My noble consort can also have her own secrets.
" That's true…" Song'e nodded, not expressing too much doubt. "Your Majesty, please come with me. This place is close to the temporary palace in Youzhou Province where I grew up…I know there are many places to visit nearby! Let the imperial physicians continue north…Let's not go, the further north we go, the more dangerous it is…"
The afternoon market and night market around the temporary residence in Youzhou Province are all famous for gathering good things. I can buy whatever Zhang Guifei likes. In this way, he won't always want to go home without me.
Song E saw my acquiescence and shouted happily,"Let's go shopping!"”Then, she pushed my waist and walked in the direction of the city.
I turned my head somewhat reluctantly and looked at the motionless curtain of the carriage. I pursed my lips and said in my heart, Noble Consort, after you buy the medicinal herbs, you have to return to the palace quickly. I will prepare a very, very good gift for you…Although I don't know what it is now, you have to come back quickly! Come back quickly…
Song'e and I gradually moved away from the carriage. I said to him in my heart that if you don't come back soon, I will definitely miss you.
Song'e and I gradually came to a relatively boisterous area in the south of Youzhou Province. In this way, it wasn't too far.
I looked at the dazzling array of goods on the street and the people who came to shop around me. A husband holding his wife's hand to buy a hairpin for her; Some children were asking their parents for candied haws. With the fire-breathing performance of the acrobatics team, even if it was only at the border, the level of liveliness in the market life here was almost comparable to that of the middle-sized city-states in the south of Da Yuan.
So if the Imperial Consort misses home like that…I can understand.
As they walked, the palace in Youzhou was right in front of them. The Thousand Bent Flowers were accompanied by auspicious clouds on the wall. The colors were so intense that they caught people's eyes. It was as beautiful as a painting.
Song'e and I were admiring the beautiful summer scenery. Just as we were looking left and right, a huge horse suddenly appeared beside us. Its mane was high and it raised its front hooves fiercely. It landed beside us very arrogantly. Fortunately, the rider tightened his grip on the reins and hurriedly shouted," Xiao Xia, why are you so disobedient!”
The one riding the horse was a muscular and valiant brother. He very apologetically drove his horse to the side. Song'e subconsciously raised her hand to protect me, but she was scared by his horse that was turning around.
" You're not as good as me. Move aside…" I patted her shoulder and was about to push her further away from Li Na Ma when I heard a trembling voice asking.
"…Song'e?"
“？”Which deity had called him that? I didn't call her.
Looking up, Yingwu was holding Song'e's hand lovingly, his eyes almost filled with tears.
Was this person crazy? I muttered in my heart. I raised my hand and wanted to quickly knock off his hand that was holding Song Er. However, his arm was too strong. I couldn't get rid of it even after hitting it several times…
"Molest!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. When the people around saw the three of us squeezed together, they thought that we were performing some foreign new play. Not only did they not come over to help us, but they even gathered and applauded us.
"Good!" There was an uncle who looked like he was half-drunk. He didn't even understand what was going on and clapped with the people around him. Then, he generously threw a few copper coins in front of me.
？! Am I that kind of person who is greedy for money…
"Big brothers and sisters-in-law, thank you for letting me go!”I quickly picked up the money on the ground and took advantage of the heat to do a few backflips, although I didn't do a single one. Then the spectators left…
"Hey…don't go! I still have other skills…"
I sighed. It seemed that I wouldn't be able to be a street artist in the future. Looking back at the two guys who were still holding hands, I took a handful of fruits from the candied fruit stall beside me and threw two shiny copper coins to the lady boss. I ate them while watching the show.
"…Song'e?" Brother Yingwu was still holding on to Song'e's hand tightly, staring at the person in front of him with starry eyes.
What was going on? I frowned. Don't you men know that this is very greasy?
"Brother Lu? Is it really you?" Just as I finished scolding this greasy behavior in my heart and wanted to pull Song'e away, I heard Song'e also ask a question that sounded like " recognizing relatives from a thousand miles ".
My frown turned into a raised eyebrow. Could this be Song'e and Tong'e's long-lost brother? They didn't look alike.
"It's me! It's me! Sister Song'e, I haven't seen you since you were transferred south from the palace…Look at you, you've become even more beautiful.”
It's still very greasy! After I finished eating the fruit, I grabbed a handful of nuts and chewed on them. Then, I rolled my tongue in my mouth to clean up the sugar.
Song Er remembered that there was a neglected me not far away. She was about to pull Brother Yingwu over to introduce him to me when she saw me licking my lower front teeth.
Then, both of them felt awkward at the same time.
"…This is…" Brother Yingwu was the first to break the awkwardness.
I raised my palm to stop him." There are many sacks on the bridge.”It was a little inconvenient to talk now.
I didn't know him, but he seemed to be very close to Song'e. He was about 1.9 meters tall and looked at me as I used my tongue to cut out a piece of nut skin from between my teeth and then spat it out. From the corner of my eye, I saw him tremble three times.
"…" I could feel that he really didn't want to chat with me, but he still pointed at me and looked at Song'e while trembling.
Song'e stared at him in fear and trepidation. She looked at him and then at me, as if she had made up her mind. She raised her foot and muttered a few words in his ear. Then I saw his face turn from red to white to green.
"This is…the current head of the Zhou household?”His voice was still trembling.
I heard him speak a little louder, so I made a " hush " gesture to him. Then I strode forward and stretched out my hand to him very confidently." I don't change my name, I don't change my name... The old emperor of the Southern Dynasty is me, Ji Shenyang."”
Trembling, he reached out a very thick right hand and shook my hand. I gave him a very polite smile and couldn't wait to think that it was my fucking turn to ask.
"Song'e, who is this big brother?" I finally asked. I was suffocating from watching the show.
"Oh, oh, oh." Song'e quickly clapped her hands and introduced him to me." This is Brother Lu, who took care of me since I was young. Brother, tell me about yourself…"
Brother Yingwu cupped his fists at me." I'm the Deputy Garrison of Youzhou Palace, Lu Ruilin, also known as Daoqian. Sister Song Er is not an outsider here, I will protect her!”
"Good! Good! Good!" This time, it was my turn to clap and cheer. It seemed that these two were childhood sweethearts.
Especially when I heard Song'e calling me "brother" and "brother" again and again, my goosebumps were about to fall all over the ground.
Was it popular for couples to call each other…" Love Brother " these days?
I don't understand! I don't understand!
I put the unfinished nuts in his hand." Seeing how heroic General Lu is, I won't stand on ceremony. Take this as a gift for today's meeting!”
I looked at a 1.9-meter-tall, 1.2-meter-wide man who was leading a horse. He was at a loss as to what to do. He was holding the nuts that were about to be finished. It seemed that he really did not know what to do.
Song Er whispered in his ear," You probably know her style now…"
"Got it, got it…"
I looked at the two of them laughing and whispering. I suddenly felt like I was in a big dog food bowl. I was just short of barking.
I raised my arm and pulled Song Er back." In broad daylight, the sky is clear…Half of the Changle Palace will be under your control in the future. What's wrong with being so 'tight-lipped' like this?!”
Brother Yingwu was probably not used to my avant-garde language and was still in a daze.
Song'e also asked me strangely,"What does 'stick stick' mean?”
"…It means pretty good.”
I didn't explain clearly. In order to get close to him and join our conversation, Brother Yingwu quickly said," Then we have to stick together, we have to stick together…"
“……”
" Ugh…" I suppressed the urge to vomit. Just as I was about to make a sound, I suddenly realized that " Garrison Lu " sounded like " braised pig's hand "…
So I smiled evilly." Song'e, do you like braised pig's hand the most?”
"That's right. I like braised pork knuckles! I really, really like it!"
Then, I saw Iron Man's face turn red with tenderness…but the disgusting atmosphere did ease up a lot.
"Where are you rushing to? Is there something urgent?"
When he heard my question, he clapped his hands as if he had remembered something important. It seemed that he was really excited to see Song'e, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He almost forgot what he was going to do.
"Your Majesty is right! This morning, someone came to report that there was another murder in the Natural Lane not far from the palace…This is the fourth murder this month, and the first three are still pending…Recently, due to the constant commotion, the government office is almost non-existent…Only the guards of our palace can clean up the scene-collect the bodies, check and so on. Otherwise, it will scare many people.”
"Natural Market?" Song Er was surprised." Isn't that the place where the famous Youzhou rich people live? Even palace servants like us, who were previously employed by the palace, are not allowed to enter at will…How could there be a murder case in that place?! This isn't a good thing…"
Brother Yingwu looked at the two of us and was a little hesitant, but he still suggested," Why don't…you guys go with me to take a look? I'm in a hurry…With another pair of eyes, I might be able to gain something else!”
Song'e looked at me. I'm currently in the midst of the excitement of coming out on an adventure. I tightened my belt, straightened my hat, and pointed my palm forward.
"Let's go!"
