Light Red Northern Song

Early the next morning, everyone was woken up by the sound of soldiers practicing outside the camp. When Jing Rou was combing her hair, she suddenly heard Lin Yuan from outside the door barging in with a laugh.

"Your Highness, do you think these people are weird? Last night's drinking was so long, and today I woke up so early." Lin Yuan walked around Xia Le and came to Jing Rou's side, propping his elbows on a few tables and blinking his eyes with an expression Staring at each other strangely.

"Daozhang, are your eyes sick?" After being stared at for a while, Jing Rou turned her head and asked deliberately.

"Your Highness is really good at joking. Look, what I said before was a lie?"

"The Taoist priest said so many words before, I don't know which sentence you are referring to?" Jing Rou replied with her eyes rolled.

"Lucky." Lin Yuan said with a secretive smile.

Xia Le had tied up his master's hair, shook his head and said, "Master Daoist, although you are a member of the Taoist sect and don't stick to common etiquette, it is always inappropriate to speak to His Highness like this."

"If it wasn't for the impediment of Daoist Li Cangshan's identity, I guess you would have been invited out by the palace people." Jing Rou stood up with sideways eyes, and walked out the door without paying attention to her.

"Your Highness is wrong to speak like this. Emotion comes from the heart, and it is a manifestation of the heart. It is really normal, so there is no need to deny it." Lin Yuan followed and said.

Jing Rou turned to look at her, then at the rest of the palace, and said: "You don't want to follow, I and the Taoist priest are going there to talk."

The two walked towards the east side of the camp. Seeing that the distance was almost the same, Jingrou turned around and asked, "Master Daoist, I asked you to rest last night, where did you go?"

"Me? I'm fine, just walking around."

"Anywhere? I know that your senior brother Linlang Daoist is in love with the roof, but I don't know that you also have this hobby?"

"How does Your Highness know that I'm on the roof?" Lin Yuan opened his mouth and asked with a little embarrassment.

"Guess." After finishing speaking, Jing Rou waved towards Xia Le and the others, and said solemnly, "Don't worry about it, the Taoist priest. Whether you listened to it or read it, don't mention it in the future."

"Why can't I mention it? I didn't mention it to others!" Lin Yuan replied dissatisfied.

"No one can mention it! Keep your mouth open. If you scare Qiao Jinzhi, I want you to look good!"

"Oh! Oh! Your Highness, you are not so fierce when you talk to your Master Qiao! You can be shy and blush with such soft words!"

"Could it be possible for me to speak softly to everyone? Xia Le is here, remember what I said."

Lin Yuan was deflated, turned around and looked at the crowd of palace people who came over, and silently bowed his head.

"Your Highness, what are we going to do now?" Xia Le asked.

"I don't know, should I go and look around with the officials from the Ministry of Rites? After all, I am here on behalf of the imperial court."

"It stands to reason that we should have a look around with the officials of the imperial court." The simple and straightforward Mu Ji interjected.

"Then, you order someone to invite them, and I will go to the Second Emperor's brother first."

"Yes, Your Highness." Mu Ji ordered the guards to invite him, and then followed his master and others to the commander's camp.

When everyone came outside the commander's camp, they realized that the generals were in a meeting, and Jing Rou couldn't be bothered, so she told the defenders that she would go for a walk and come back after the meeting.

A group of people walked to the northwest of the military camp, but saw several houses with strict guards.

"What's that?" Jingrou asked suspiciously.

"Your Highness, I'm humbled to ask someone to ask." Mu Ji said.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I heard from the guards that the prisoners of the Huns were being imprisoned there." The guard who went to inquire trotted back.

"The prisoner camp?" She looked there a few more times and said, "Then don't go, let's go elsewhere."

"It's Your Highness," Mu Ji followed to go elsewhere, and said, "The prisoner camp is bad luck, Your Highness really should not go."

"Huh?" Jing Rou suddenly panicked, turned around and asked: "If our people are captured, will there be any survivors?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Huns are brutal, and there is almost no possibility of our soldiers surviving."

"Then, what do the Huns do with our captives?"

"In the past, they were all murdered. Now, due to the lack of labor force of the Huns, our captives are basically slaves. In fact, there is no difference. One is killed on the spot, and the other is exhausted, starved to death or beaten to death soon. .”

After hearing this, Jingrou panicked even more, and for a moment forgot what she wanted to say just now.

"Your Highness, what are you worried about?" Lin Yuan leaned over and asked at this moment.

It's not that Qiao Jinzhi hasn't stayed in the military camp before, and this time he came here a few months ago. It's not that Jing Rou has never been worried, but why is she so flustered today?According to past experience, is something going to happen?Thinking of this, she was even more terrified.

"Your Highness? Your Highness?" Xia Le also called twice.

"I want to revise the book and return to Beijing immediately, Xia Le, you should go and prepare the pen and ink now."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned, they didn't understand what happened to the master.

"His Royal Highness, the court officials have arrived at the commander's camp, but they haven't seen you, and they are looking for you." A young general came running from a distance to report.

"I know about it, please go and let me know first, I will be here right away."

"Oh! Obey!" The young general Xu didn't expect the princess to be so polite, and he was stunned for a moment before replying.

After the young general ran away, Jing Rou said: "Go to the coach's camp to see first, and then I will study the book later."

"Your Majesty sees Her Royal Highness, the marshal and others are already waiting in the camp." Master Zhang of the Ministry of Rites leaned over and said.

When they entered the camp, they saw Qi Zhiyu sitting at the top, and a group of generals and civil servants standing at the bottom. A topographic map was placed in the center of the camp, and some daily utensils and weapons were placed around them.

"Sister Huang, did you wake up so early, did you get disturbed by the soldiers performing exercises?" Qi Zhiyu asked gently.

Jingrou looked to the left, saw Qiao Jinzhi standing in the middle, and replied with a smile: "No, I just want to have a look around with the adults in the Ministry of Rites, so I can learn a lot. I don't want the emperor to be with you so early. Discussing military affairs, the generals are really exhausting."

"Where is the discussion about military affairs? Brother Huang is not familiar with military affairs, so he is asking the generals for advice." Qi Zhiyu said with a modest smile.

"The Marshal is as modest as a valley, but it makes us at a loss." The chief secretary, Mr. Yang, also said with a smile.

"Brother Huang, did sister Huang bother everyone?" Jing Rou lazily interrupted.

"Don't disturb me. The Xiongnu haven't seen any changes recently, and there is no major event in the camp. I'm almost done asking for advice." Qi Zhiyu waved his hand again and said, "Let Qiao Jinzhi accompany you to look around."

Jingrou was getting sensitive again, and the other party's seemingly unintentional arrangement made her quickly scan everyone's faces.With so many people discussing military affairs, why did Qiao Jinzhi come out to lead them?In the end, she found that except Master Yang, the expressions of the others hadn't changed at all, including Qiao Jinzhi herself.

"It's so good." Jing Rou deliberately raised her voice and replied with a smile.Afterwards, she immediately added another sentence: "The army is majestic. Without Master Qiao's company, I really can't feel at ease and dare not move around. Master Qiao, let's go quickly, I can't wait." He greeted the others, and went out the door directly after speaking.

"Your Highness, you really dare to talk nonsense, didn't you just walk around?" Lin Yuan whispered beside him.

Jingrou didn't want to pay attention to her, she only looked at Qiao Jinzhi sideways, then turned to ask: "My lords, I don't understand, where should we go first?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the officials and others are not very good at it." Master Zhang of the Ministry of Rites replied.Although they were sent by the imperial court to work as soldiers, none of them would point fingers in the barracks and express their opinions at will.Apart from Qiao Jinzhi and several other soldiers and guards, besides Qiao Jinzhi, they would not say anything more.

"Master Qiao, now that the Second Emperor is in charge of the Zhenbei camp, what do we laymen have to see? Don't take it seriously, just let us take a look around and play chess with Bengong. After a while, the sun will be poisonous. It's over, I can't stand the sun." Jing Rou thought carefully, and just wanted to be alone with the people around her for a while.

"Yes, yes, don't be serious, just let me take a look. It would be great if Mr. Wang and I go back to the dormitory to play chess." Mr. Zhang echoed.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't play chess now, and I still have things to do in my humble position." Qiao Jinzhi replied with her head down.

Jingrou heard the words and observed the other party's expression carefully, and it was inconvenient to ask because there were too many people, so she nodded and said: "Military affairs are important, but I don't know when Master Qiao will finish his work?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, it will take about half a day."

"That must be very important, how can we delay the military affairs of the adults?" Jingrou asked pretending to be surprised, stopped and turned around and said: "Well, I won't read it today, and the two adults will come back too."

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned again.

"Go back, I will go back even if I gossip with Mrs. Qiao, so you don't have to follow. Mrs. Qiao, you can go there with me."

After the two walked for a while, Jingrou first said softly: "I was so excited yesterday that I didn't care about your situation in the army."

"Your Highness, humble, well, everything is fine."

"Humble job?" Jingrou looked around, then turned to look at the other person's face and said: "I don't care, I will study and return to Beijing today, and ask my aunt to allow you to go back."

"Today? Why?" Qiao Jinzhi raised her head and asked in confusion.

"No reason!" Jing Rou didn't dare to explain her panic and uneasiness to her, she walked forward a few steps in a little anger.

Qiao Jinzhi looked at her back and didn't speak.

"Do you want to stay here?" After a while, Jingrou turned around and asked.

"I didn't think about it, but His Highness should also explain to the humble officer."

"Since you claim to be humble, how can you ask me for an explanation? It's not for subordinates to ask for explanations." Jingrou said childishly annoyed.

"Oh, yes, humble and rude." Although Qiao Jinzhi's face was tepid, his tone was much stiffer.

Jingrou suddenly realized that if she cared again, she would be in chaos.Because she quickly sensed the other party's displeasure, and thought of the "oath" she said last night, she couldn't become arrogant overnight, act like a "master", and make the other party misunderstand thing.

"Jinzhi," she thought for a while, looked around, and explained in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I don't like you calling yourself a lowly job, you are so unfamiliar. Also, you are here , I'm always worried."

"Your Highness." Qiao Jinzhi was touched. This was the first time he heard someone with such a noble status say sorry to him.Although she didn't sleep at all last night, seeing the first ray of sunlight entering the bedroom this morning, it was still like a dream. She couldn't believe what happened last night, and she didn't understand how she said those words last night of.

"I used to just want to follow my heart, but now it's different. It's all because I have someone in my heart. The one who worries me the most and worries me the most is naturally my sweetheart. I hope you are safe. I don't know, I don't know if others are like me when they have someone in their heart Uneasy." Jingrou lowered her head, and said something that she didn't even care about the content in a raving manner, but she just finished speaking inexplicably based on the true thoughts in her heart.

"Your Highness, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly." Qiao Jinzhi was tickled by the cute and nervous appearance of the other party, and asked with a smile on her lips.

"What did I say?" Jing Rou suddenly raised her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.Seeing the other person's expression, she knew that she was being teased again.She hurriedly turned her back and said, "Just go if you need to be busy. I'll wait for you."

Once again, Qiao Jin couldn't see other people in her eyes. She stared at the receding figure, and suddenly felt that everything in the world had turned into a beautiful scene.
