Light Red Northern Song

"The Taoist priest is a woman, please get on the carriage and sit with her." Early the next morning, Princess Jingrou stood in front of the post station, looked back at the team that was ready to go, and whispered to Xia Le.

"Yes, Your Highness." Xia Le had just taken two steps back when Lin Yuan was walking quickly.

"Your Highness, I heard it, thank you Your Highness." Lin Yuan cheerfully boarded the car first, turned around and stretched out her hand to Jing Rou.

Jing Rou was taken aback for a moment, but Xia Le chuckled beside her.

"Your Highness, the Taoist priest is a master of cultivation, he doesn't care about trifles." Xia Le still said with a smile.

"What? Shouldn't I get in the car first?" Lin Yuan asked blankly.

"No." After Jingrou finished speaking, she handed out her right hand and placed it lightly in the opponent's palm, and Xia Le supported her from behind.After the three of them got into the car, the team set off to the north.

"Your Highness, your face is full of peach blossoms, and you must have good luck." Lin Yuan said after looking at it solemnly.

"Pfft!" Xia Le couldn't help laughing again, and quickly covered her mouth.

"What's the luck?" Jing Rou seemed to be interested, and Xie Yi asked with a smile.

"Peach blossom luck."

"Peach Blossom? Don't lie to the Taoist priest." Is there still peach blossom luck in Beiying?Jingrou's heart skipped a beat without knowing it!

"I have never lied to others, and Master said that I am the most honest." Lin Yuan said seriously again.

Jing Rou thinks of her master, is it Yun Zhan?I have never heard of this person before, and I wanted to ask yesterday, but felt disrespectful, so I didn't ask.Later, thinking back at night, Chunyan mentioned that there are two immortals from Cangshan Mountain, and I think that Yunzhan is one of them.

"Why does the Taoist priest never call himself Daoist? I have never seen you like this in the past." Although Xia Le knew that Lin Yuan was from the Daoist sect and did not stick to common etiquette, he still interrupted the topic.

"Me? Master doesn't care about these things, so my brother and I have been crazier than my disciples since we were young."

"Uncle? But Daoist Yun Ran?" Jing Rou asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the uncle is in charge of the sect, and he should be more cautious and rigorous in his conduct. He is not as bold and unrestrained as the master."

"Your master, how many disciples do you have?"

"Master thinks that teaching disciples is exhausting, so for many years, he has only accepted senior brother Linqian and me."

"Qianlong Zaiyuan? It's a good name. Is Taoist Master Yunzhan on the mountain now?"

"Master has gone on a wandering trip, and has rarely returned to the master's school in recent years. Your Highness, do you like watching snow?"

"Guanxue?" Jingrou recalled the past, and suddenly said sadly: "I am not so lucky."

"I heard from Senior Brother Linlang that His Highness Yinyue is going to Li Cang Mountain. Then you can go there to watch the snow. The snow scene there is the most beautiful. Every year, many people come here to admire it."

The carriage was still moving forward, but the interior of the carriage suddenly fell silent.

"The master's gate is in a taller mountain, quiet and quiet. Ordinary people can't go up there. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about being intruded." After a long time, seeing the other party's silence, Lin Yuan explained again.

"Why doesn't Your Highness speak? After the first frost, it will soon be the snow season in Li Cang Mountain. Don't you want to see the snow scene?" Lin Yuan was even more confused, staring at the other person's face and asked.

"After the frost, will it be the snow season in Li Cang Mountain soon?" Jing Rou rolled her eyes and asked subconsciously.

"Yes, Your Highness." Lin Yuan nodded seriously.

At this time, Xia Le also sensed something wrong with her master, she glanced at his gloomy face and dared not make a sound.

"Then, it must be beautiful." Jing Rou whispered as if talking to herself.

Seeing that Jing Rou was not interested in the small talk in front of them, the two stopped talking.

At noon, everyone had a simple meal on the road, took a short rest and started on the road again.

"His Royal Highness, there is a group of soldiers at the entrance of the valley ahead." After half an hour on the road, Mu Ji said from the side of the carriage.

"Soldier? Send someone to investigate and report."

"I obey." Mu Ji took the order and left, and soon rode his horse back, and excitedly replied, "Your Highness, it's Missy!"

Jingrou was stunned when she heard the words, and only after a while did she seem to wake up from a dream.

"Why is she here?"

"Miss said that the roads in the mountains are complicated and difficult, so she led a small group of soldiers from the Northern Battalion to lead the way and escort them."

Jing Rou hurriedly opened the front curtain of the car and looked out, and she saw a dozen or so cavalrymen in black leather armor standing at the entrance of the valley in front of them. All of them were fat and strong bay red horses, and the leading horse was tall and tall. The knight in silver armor sitting on the back of the black horse is Qiao Jinzhi!

The dazzling jewel-like light in front of her eyes, such radiance and brilliance, made her fascinated for a moment, and her thoughts were tender.

She breathed lightly and put down the curtain silently, only waiting for the carriage to stop, and heard someone outside say: "Humble job, Qiao Jinzhi, welcome Your Royal Highness Princess Jingrou."

It's been a long time since I heard such a clear and clear voice.Jing Rou, who listened directly, was confused and warm.

"Master Qiao is free." Jing Rou replied calmly.Although she had expected to see the other party tonight, this half-day advance made her nervous for no reason.She even felt that the momentary excitement in her heart was too sudden, and she almost ordered to rest where she was, so that she could get out of the car and chat with the other party, but she held back.

"How's your Highness doing all the way? I will lead His Highness up the mountain."

"Okay." Jingrou replied calmly.

"Your Highness, the road going up the mountain will become more and more rugged. It is inconvenient to take a carriage. After half an hour, you can park the carriage at the front camp and ride up the mountain."

"Riding a horse? Master Qiao, I don't know how to ride a horse."

"This...you can only walk if you don't ride a horse. How can you walk with your highness?"

The two talked through the curtain of the car, and were speechless for a moment.

"It's simple. I have excellent riding skills. Your Highness, you can ride with me." Lin Yuan in the car suddenly said.

"Daoist, although you and His Highness don't have a male-female defense, there is always a difference in dignity, and skin-to-skin contact is against etiquette." Xia Le reminded in a low voice in the car.

"It turns out that's the case. No wonder I lead His Highness into the car. You say I'm careless. But I'm a member of the Daoist sect, and it's fair to say that this etiquette is of no use to me."

"No, except for His Highness's relatives who have skin-to-skin contact with us, they are our close attendants. Just now, others didn't pay attention, and His Highness didn't blame him, so nothing happened. It would be bad for His Highness if we rode together in full view."

"Then, I will ride with Xia Le together." Jing Rou listened to the whispers of the two, and said something after thinking about it.

Several people near the carriage heard the conversation between the two, and they were all waiting for Princess Jingrou's order.

"Your Highness, it's good, but I'm not good at equestrian skills, I'm afraid I can't ride with others." Xia Le's face was going to blush, and she cursed herself why she didn't practice equestrian well in the past, but now she can't help His Highness.

"Master Qiao used to be an errand by Ben Gong's side, and he was also a close guard who faced each other day and night, why not ride with Master Qiao?" Jing Rou said with a hint of teasing, and turned to Xia Le and asked with intention.

"Ah?" Seeing that the master was asking for his opinion, Xia Le was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out the intention of the other party, and didn't know how to answer.

Jingrou understood that the people outside the car heard her questioning, and although Qiao Jinzhi would not offer to ride with her, she would never go against her will in front of everyone.If she didn't do this, would she really want to ride with Lin Yuan?

"Do you have any opinions? Let's make it like this." After waiting for a while, the few people remained silent, and Jingrou asked again: "Can the bullock cart enter the mountain?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the ox cart is narrow and can enter the mountain."

"Mu Ji, order our team to follow Mr. Qiao into the mountain."

"Yes, Your Highness." Mu Ji rode his horse to deliver the message again.

"Your Highness, please set off." Qiao Jinzhi said softly and led the way to the front of the team.

Half an hour later, when they arrived at the front camp, the people on the carriage got off one after another and left the carriages here.Qiao Jinzhi frowned, and looked in Jingrou's direction through a circle of people.At this moment, she actually felt that she could only pretend to be that one person, but gradually, the tenderness in her heart turned into anxiety, and she could only try her best to control her emotions.

Jingrou turned her head and saw Qiao Jinzhi approaching in a taupe-colored robe, she lowered her eyebrows and adjusted her breath and asked, "Master Qiao, where is your armor?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the armor is on the lieutenant's horse." Qiao Jinzhi bowed her head and replied, not knowing whether it was joy or bitterness in her heart.

Jing Rou looked at the lieutenant behind her, frowned slightly and said: "The soldiers are in the camp, why did you remove the armor casually?"

"Your Highness, please get on the horse." Qiao Jinzhi did not answer, but still lowered her head, turned sideways and stretched out her right palm to point at her mount.

Jingrou stared at her for a moment, and then approached the tall black horse.Qiao Jinzhi followed her to the side, bent and half-kneeled in front of her, with her right leg arched.Xia Le came from behind, ready to support the master, while other palace servants also followed to help stabilize the horse's bridle.

Jing Rou lowered her head and stared at the half-kneeling person beside her, frowning deeply.After doing this for a while, she sighed and said, "Why is Master Qiao doing this? I will get on the horse myself."

Qiao Jinzhi finally raised her head. She looked up at the other person, her eyes filled with tenderness, and said in a low voice, "His Highness, although the humble Zhiwu is docile and agreeable, His Highness has never ridden a horse, so be careful."

"Be careful, be careful, I can go up without stepping on you, you get up quickly." Jing Rou was disturbed by the other party's eyes, avoiding his eyes and whispered back.

Qiao Jinzhi had no choice but to stand up, and took a step back, and Xia Le helped the master mount the horse.As soon as she got on the horse, she felt that the people behind her also jumped on the horse to stabilize the horse.She leaned back unconsciously, touching the other's soft and warm body, and finally understood why this person disregarded the camp regulations to remove the armor.And the person behind him subconsciously straightened his back and sat up straight.

Qiao Jin's right hand grabbed the rein and pulled it lightly, and the horse moved forward slowly.Her left hand hangs slightly, as if there is nowhere to put it.The person in front of him stretched out his right hand and grabbed her sleeve, turned his head to look at her left hand, found a space, picked it up lightly, pulled it towards him, put his left hand lightly on the rein over it.

Qiao Jinzhi was a little embarrassed by the other's series of intimate gestures. She turned her head away, not daring to approach the other side's face.

"Lord Qiao, how long will it take to get to the camp riding like this?" Jing Rou asked looking straight ahead.

"Reporting to Your Highness, we have a large number of people, and it will take an hour and a half at the earliest."

She felt the slow breathing behind her, as if she couldn't bear to disturb the good time at the moment, she was silent for a moment.

"You haven't seen me for a long time." After Jing Rou was silent, she suddenly smiled lightly.

"Your Highness, we have many people."

When Jingrou heard this nonsensical repetition, she became puzzled, and immediately understood that the other party was saying that it is inconvenient to chat right now.She turned around and looked around, closed her eyes and said intentionally: "Master Qiao, you can ride steadily, I am tired, I need to take a nap."

"Obey." As soon as Qiao Jin finished speaking, she immediately felt that the person in front of her was getting closer, and she was about to fall into her arms.She looked down at the other party's closed eyes in a daze, so she had to lower her body so that the other party could rest more comfortably.

Jing Rou closed her eyes, felt the movement of the person behind her, and suddenly felt like a flower blooming in her heart, she was very happy.She curled her lips and asked in the lowest voice: "Jinzhi, have I grown taller?"

The people behind held the reins tightly and did not respond for a long time.
