Your Majesty Cheng Huan

Xiao He was very happy to see the imperial concubine in Yingmei Palace, and his eyebrows were beaming when he talked, and he complained to Li Chenghuan why the East Palace did not have as beautiful plum blossoms as Yingmei Palace.Li Chenghuan can only tell him: "If you like it, just act like a baby with your father and ask him to plant a few trees in front of Changle Hall. When the plum blossom tree grows up and the plum blossoms bloom, it will definitely be better than Yingmei Palace." It's pretty good."

Xiao Hezhen did as he said, and Emperor Jing really agreed, but the plum blossoms bloomed before the leaves, and the planting had to wait until after the leaves fell and before they sprouted in spring.Most of the plum blossoms planted in Yingmei Palace are bright red plums or pink plums. Emperor Jing said that there is another kind of plum blossom that is more beautiful than those in Yingmei Palace and has a strong fragrance. After a while, he will take him to see it.

After hearing this, Li Chenghuan knew that the matter of going to Xishu was settled.Moreover, Emperor Jing really planned to take the little prince with him.The plum blossoms in his mouth should refer to the "money green calyx" white plum blossoms, and this kind of plum blossoms can only be found in Jincheng, the royal city of the former Shu Kingdom.The current Xishu is a mansion of Daxia, and Jincheng is the seat of the mansion. They will definitely not be able to bypass this place when they go to Xishu.

After the first snow fell in the capital city of Daxia, one early morning, Li Chenghuan was still asleep when someone forced him to wake him up.Opening his eyes, he saw that it was Hong Ye, an old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time.In astonishment, he saw Xiao He who was still drowsily asleep in Hongye's arms, so he got up quickly, and after tidying up briefly, he left the East Palace with Hongye.

When they left the palace, it was still dark, Li Chenghuan hugged Xiao He and got into the carriage waiting outside the palace.Hongye was driving, the carriage was running smoothly, Xiao He was sleeping in his arms, smacking his lips and still refusing to wake up.The carriage went all the way out of the west gate of the capital, and he saw Emperor Jing who was not wearing a dragon robe.

Xiao Qian was dressed as a son of a noble family, sitting on the horse, he was indeed handsome and handsome, people couldn't take their eyes off it.Next to him was the former commander of the Royal Forest Army, Zhang Hu, who was also tall and mighty. Even if they did not act in a high-profile way, they could easily attract the attention of others along the way.

After Daxia set up the West Shu Mansion, the army was used to build a tea-horse road from Shu to Shu to facilitate business and facilitate the tea-horse trade between Shu and the outside world.It used to take more than half a month to enter Shu by land, and half a month by water. This time they only took about ten days to enter Shu through the tea-horse road in the east.

Jincheng is in the east of Shu, but after they entered Shu, they were not in a hurry to go to Jincheng, but stayed in these small towns in the east for a while, seeing the customs of Shu, and moving in. The living conditions of the Daxia people here and the local Shu people.

In the former Shu Kingdom, except for the royal city of Jincheng, there were no cities built. The tribes lived in groups and were ruled by chiefs, and all the chiefs regarded the King of Shu as their common king.After Daxia established the Xishu Mansion, it did not change the tribal chieftain system in Xishu, but only divided 35 cities according to their settlements.To rule Shu with Shu people, still let the chiefs of each tribe govern each tribe, and at the same time send Daxia officials to control the military and political power of a city.

Except for the royal city Jincheng, a city here is equivalent to a small county in Daxia.But the prosperity of the city is only equivalent to a town in Daxia.That's how it made Li Chenghuan, who grew up in Bailu Town, feel more cordial.

Shu people originally had their own Shu dialect, but in recent years, most of them also speak common Chinese.When Li Chenghuan was in the grassland, he learned some Han Chinese, but now he is at a loss when facing the Shu language.Xiao He was also very surprised to know that there are still a group of people in this world who speak words that he does not understand, which opened his eyes.

What surprised Li Chenghuan was that Xiao Qian could speak Shu dialect, and he even wrote Shu characters very well.Later, when I heard from him that he had been to Shu during his travels in the early years, he felt relieved.

Li Chenghuan learned Shu dialect very easily, much better than when he learned Khan.As a teacher, he naturally has to teach Xiao and this student.But now rather than asking him, Xiao He is obviously more willing to ask his father Xiao Qian if he doesn't understand, which made Li Chenghuan feel disappointed for a while.

Like the succession system of the former Shu royal family, although some customs and habits of the Shu land made Li Chenghuan speechless, they saw along the way that the people's lives were happy and prosperous, and there was no chaos as imagined.Half a month after entering Shu, they settled in Qinghe City, southeast of Jincheng.

The current lord of Qinghe City is a military general named Guo Jian, who used to be a general in General Luo Yong's army. After he led the troops into Jincheng with General Luo, he stayed here and became a magistrate.However, since Xiao Qian's trip was a private visit in Weifu, he naturally would not "disturb" the Lord Guo.

The place where they stayed was one of the few inns in the city. Most of the people living in it were Daxia businessmen who came to Sichuan to travel. They could hear the familiar dialect. At first glance, they thought they were still in Daxia. summer.Of course, the current Shu land is also the land of Daxia.

It is rare to see snow in Sichuan in winter, but the coldness penetrates to the bone.On such a day, for these businessmen, it is the most appropriate to travel in the mountains, unlike the hot summer, which is easy to attract poisonous insects and snakes, so there are especially many businessmen who come to Sichuan in this season.

But it is precisely because of the cold that even in the daytime, the inn has to close the door and light a stove in the lobby.The guests sat around the stove, adding charcoal to the stove, chatting all over the world, and took the opportunity to make some business partners.

The young guy in the inn shuttled through the crowd with a long-mouthed tea kettle. When he heard the yelling, he ran over smartly with short legs to add tea to the guests.Sitting in the lobby, listening to the whistling wind of burning charcoal fire, listening to Chinese with a little local accent mixed with authentic Shu dialect from various prefectures and counties in Daxia, and occasionally even hearing profuse sweat Chinese and foreign languages ​​spoken in the far northwest of Central Continent, it was really lively.

Li Chenghuan hugged Xiao He and sat near the fire to enjoy the fire. Xiao He's small face was flushed red by the light of the fire, and he was drowsy.Li Chenghuan touched the clothes on his chest, and it was scorching hot, so he quickly moved back with him in his arms.

When people sit next to each other, it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps when they move like this.When Li Chenghuan stood up, he accidentally stepped on the hand of the person next to him, and the person let out a scream like a slaughtered pig. Li Chenghuan quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry——did the step hurt you?"

The man squinted at him, but waved his hands and said nothing.Because of his scream just now, many people looked this way, Li Chenghuan was a little embarrassed, and quickly hugged Xiao He away from the crowd, and sat on the tables around the lobby.

At this time, the door opened, and a gust of cold wind took the opportunity to sneak in, so the people in the lobby hurriedly yelled at the person who came in to close the door quickly.But after many people saw that it was a beautiful woman who came in, they were too embarrassed to shout.

Hong Ye glanced sharply at the crowd in front of the stove, but did not see Li Chenghuan and Xiao He, and was about to go upstairs to look for them, when she heard someone calling her from the corner: "Hong Ye, this way!"

When Hongye approached, Li Chenghuan asked, "Have you bought anything?"

"I got it." She took out a paper bag from her bosom, and after opening it, a sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes burst out.Before Li Chenghuan called out, Xiao He woke up from the smell.

"It smells so good—sir, I want to eat—"

Hong Ye carefully placed the paper bag in his hand, and Li Chenghuan warned, "Be careful of burning."

Xiao Hecai didn't care if it was hot or not, as soon as he got the thing in his hands, he put his mouth on it, but he got burned in the mouth, and looked at Li Chenghuan aggrievedly.While laughing, Li Chenghuan wiped off the ashes on his mouth, and said with a smile: "I told you to be careful, you little greedy cat!" He couldn't help but pinch Xiao He's nose, and forgot I just wiped the ashes with one hand, but I rubbed the ashes from the corner of my mouth onto Xiao He's nose.

Poor He'er didn't know it, seeing Hongye's sister and her husband staring at him and laughing, thinking they were laughing at him for being too gluttonous, he pouted angrily.

Li Chenghuan laughed even harder, and asked Hongye to fetch a small pot of hot water, wipe it for Xiao He, then forcibly brought the sweet potato and put it on the table, and when it cooled down, give it to Xiao He again. and eat.

Li Chenghuan wiped Xiao He's nose with the back of his hand, and the result became darker and darker. At this moment, a towel was stretched out in front of him, and he took it and wiped Xiao He's nose.As a result, when she looked up, she realized that this person was not Hongye, but what she was holding was a wet towel of this woman.

"Thank you." Li Cheng smiled happily, and returned the towel to the woman. Suddenly, he thought that the towel was already dirty, so he was embarrassed to just return it to someone else.

The woman didn't take it either, but said with a smile: "This child is so cute! How old is it?"

Xiao He was praised, and obediently said: "Two and a half years old, almost three years old." Xiao He is still several months away from three years old, but he seems to think that three years old is much stronger than two years old.

"So cute!" The woman patted Xiao He's face, but Xiao He suddenly flinched and said, "Sister, your hands are so cold, Heer will warm you up." The woman's hand was held in his little hand.

The woman was surprised, then gently withdrew her hand and said, "My sister is not cold. Your name is He'er?"

Li Chenghuan was afraid that Xiao He would lose his memory, so he said his real name, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, it's called Qin Xiaohe, the 'He' of 'Hele Ankang'."

Xiao He raised his head and glanced at his husband, but said nothing.

"What a good name!" The woman patted Xiao He's head and said, "My sister is on the second floor, Room A, No. [-], if no one is playing with you, come and find my sister, ah!"

At this time, Hongye came back with water, and Li Chenghuan put the towel into the basin and said, "After the towel is washed and dried, I will ask He'er to send it to the girl."

"Okay." After the woman finished speaking, she turned and left, and exchanged a glance with Hongye Kankan.

After watching her leave and go upstairs, Li Chenghuan looked at Hongye with a little inquiring eyes, Hongye frowned, and then nodded slightly.
