Emperor's Grace

On the first day on the road, they only traveled thirty miles, and in the evening, there was light snow again, so He Huailing ordered to go down and stay at a nearby post station.

At this season, the inn was very deserted, and there were no other guests. He Huailing asked for a small clean courtyard, and asked his confidants to guard the entrance of the courtyard. The carriage drove all the way into the courtyard before stopping, fearing that Zhu Yunjing would fall. He directly wrapped the person in a cloak and got out of the car, went upstairs and entered the room on the second floor.

Four or five braziers were lit at the same time, and quickly heated up the room. Zhu Yunjing sat on the couch, rubbing her face uncomfortably: "Can you wash this?"

He Huailing asked someone to bring in hot water, squeezed the wet towel and carefully softened what was stuck to his face, and carefully tore it off bit by bit.

Zhu Yunjing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his original face gradually appeared in front of He Huailing's eyes. His skin was white and tender, and his face was reddened by covering. .”

Zhu Yunjing stared at him weakly: "Yes."

He Huailing smiled, and asked someone to serve the meal. Zhu Yunjing put down the chopsticks without much use, and He Huailing asked, "No appetite?"

Zhu Yunjing nodded indiscriminately: "Still dizzy."

After sitting in the car for a whole day, it would be strange if he didn't feel dizzy. He Huailing didn't force him: "That's fine, but I still have to drink the medicine after a while."

Afterwards, he asked someone to go to the kitchen to prepare something to eat, and if Zhu Yunjing was hungry later, he would bring it to him.

The sky darkened quickly, He Huailing asked someone to light the lamp, and after drinking the medicine, Zhu Yunjing leaned on the couch and read a book, which was a book of strange tales from the previous dynasty.He Huailing sat beside him and peeled the orange for him, and when he brought it to Zhu Yunjing's mouth, he opened his mouth without moving his eyes. The tip of his tongue inadvertently licked He Huailing's fingertips. Yun Jing was ignorant, all her attention was on the script in her hand.

The dim candlelight reflected on his face, making his eyebrows more picturesque and his face like a crown jade.No wonder it is said that looking at a beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more excited you become. He Huailing looked at the apex of the itch, but could only suppress it, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness likes to read this kind of script?"

Zhu Yunjing turned over a page, her eyes still fell on the page: "In the past, His Majesty and Master didn't let you read it, saying that it would fascinate your mind, but now no one cares about it anyway, this is quite interesting."

"Where's the fun?"

Zhu Yunjing said calmly: "It is said in the book that sweet words are poison, and the most indispensable thing in this world is the unlucky people."

"..." He Huailing, "Don't look at it for too long, it hurts your eyes."

Zhu Yunjing finally raised her eyes and looked at He Huailing: "Why is Hou Ye here all the time, why don't you go back to the house to rest?"

"This is the upper room in this yard, His Highness is reluctant to take me in for a night?" He Huailing said cheekily.

Zhu Yunjing: "...are you sleeping on the couch outside?"

He Huailing: "..."

The servants have already made the bed and put on the brand new and clean bedding they brought. After washing, Zhu Yunjing lay on the bed, and He Huailing sat by the bed and looked at him: "If your Highness doesn't agree, I can only sit here It's been a night."

Zhu Yunjing turned around and said, "What kind of rascal are you playing?"

After a while, the warm body turned over and was wrapped into the arms of the man behind him. Zhu Yunjing didn't bother to move, and yawned with drooping eyelids. He Huailing whispered in his ear: "Queer, This is outside, you are heavy, I am worried that you will not feel well at night, it will be more convenient for me to take care of you."

Zhu Yunjing closed her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Sleep if you want to sleep, what excuses are you looking for?"

He Huailing chuckled, Zhu Yunjing's personality is really rare.

It was a rare good night's sleep, Zhu Yunjing slept until dawn before waking up, he was the only one left in the room, he sat up and shouted, the guard at the door came in to wait for him to get up.

While changing clothes, Zhu Yunjing casually asked the servant: "Where is Lord Hou?"

"Master Hou got up half an hour ago. He is practicing sword in the courtyard downstairs. He said that he will go on the road after you wake up and eat breakfast."

It was a nice sunny day today, Zhu Yunjing walked out of the room, and really heard the sound of a sharp sword breaking through the wind from downstairs, he stood on the edge of the corridor railing and looked down, the long sword was in He Huailing's hand Like flowing clouds and flowing water, wherever the sword goes, it draws crisp and sharp arcs.

As if sensing Zhu Yunjing's gaze, after the final blow, He Huailing made a beautiful volley and sheathed the long sword.He stood up straight, looked up, and was meeting Zhu Yunjing's gaze, and subconsciously smiled.

Zhu Yunjing was slightly stunned, while beads of sweat hung on He Huailing's forehead, the morning light was completely smudged on his face, which made the smile on his face even more ostentatious, showing the most unrestrained and unrestrained appearance.

While Zhu Yunjing was still in a daze, He Huailing had already walked upstairs and led him back to the house: "It's windy outside, don't catch a cold."

Zhu Yunjing lowered her eyes: "...Oh."

After breakfast, they went on the road again, Zhu Yunjing's face changed again, even though he was almost stuck in the carriage, it's better to be careful just in case.

Sure enough, not long after leaving the post station, the convoy stopped, and ran into the new chief soldier of the Jingnan Camp passing by. The other party brought four soldiers with him. Xu just came out of the camp and was about to return to Beijing. .

The other party took the initiative to come over to say hello to He Huailing, and the two immediately hugged each other and exchanged a few words.

This 17-year-old Anle Hou Shizi, who was born in the sky and was called Manchu's side, was surnamed Liang. I saw him in the imperial study of Emperor Zhaoyang.The emperor seems to like him very much, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the capital, but this prince Liang has been staying in the camp since he took office, returning to Beijing every ten days, even if the people around him want to get close to him not easy.

Hearing the whispered report from the servant outside the car, Zhu Yunjing pushed the car window open a gap and took a look from a distance.The Liang Shizi who was riding on the tall horse was indeed quite outstanding, with a tall and straight figure and an extremely handsome appearance, comparable to He Huailing.It's just that when Zhu Yunjing met He Huailing for the first time, he felt that although he looked cold and upright on the outside, but this Liang Shizi obviously smiled gently, but somehow gave people an uncomfortable and unreasonable feeling.

When the other party glanced over casually, Zhu Yunjing immediately closed the car window, Liang Zhen paused, smiled slightly, and said to He Huailing: "Master Hou took so many family members to the border to take up his post, it was really hard work. "

He Huailing said calmly: "It's a long way to go, we need more help, it will be fine when we get there."

After saying a few more words, Liang Zhen bid farewell and left. They just had a drink together at the palace banquet. They didn't have much friendship and nothing to say.

After passing the town where the Jingnan Daying stationed troops, the convoy turned around, and from here it was going all the way to the northwest.

He Huailing got into the car and told Zhu Yunjing what happened just now, Zhu Yunjing nodded: "I saw it, he is an arrogant person."

"Arrogance?" He Huailing smiled lowly, "This Prince Liang is smiling with a smile on his face, why do you see that he is arrogant?"

"Intuition," Zhu Yunjing squinted at He Huailing, "Don't say you didn't see it."

"Well, it's not so much arrogance as it is extreme self-confidence and conceit. After all, he is only 17 years old, and he is the only one who has become the second-rank general of the Jingnan Camp."

Zhu Yunjing sneered coldly: "You were already killing barbarians on the battlefield when you were 17 years old." Why bother raising others' aspirations and destroying your own prestige.

"I know you're facing me," He Huailing didn't blush at all, "but what I'm saying is the truth. He is destined to be different if he is given such an important position as the commander-in-chief of the Jingnan Camp. The reason, I heard some rumors vaguely."

"What rumor?"

He Huailing coughed lightly: "It is said... that Prince Liang is His Majesty's illegitimate son."

Zhu Yunjing: "..."

If this is the case, it is reasonable. It is more reassuring than outsiders to hand over the military power to his own son, especially the illegitimate son who cannot speak to others and has no right to covet the throne. What's more, who can say that there is no Hiding the emperor's psychology of wanting to make up for it.

Zhu Yunjing's expression darkened: "Where did such rumors come from?"

"I don't know, but during the time when His Majesty ordered you to die and you were bedridden, this Prince Liang did often go to the palace to accompany His Majesty to serve medicine, so it's no wonder that such rumors spread."

Zhu Yunjing frowned, seeing that he looked anxious, He Huailing patted the back of his hand lightly: "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't think about it."

After a while, Zhu Yunjing closed her eyes and sighed: "Forget it, it really has nothing to do with me, even if His Majesty has ten or eight illegitimate children, no matter how much you pamper him, you can't give them the throne, and it's not enough to threaten you." Xuan."

I wish Yunjing could think about it, He Huailing smiled and changed the subject: "You will be able to leave Gyeonggi in two days, and you will be more at ease."

The corner of Zhu Yunjing's mouth twitched slightly: "At the current driving speed, it may take more than a month to reach the border, right?"

"No problem, Your Majesty also knows that driving in this cold weather is not easy, and the time limit given for taking office is very generous, so there is no need to rush."

Zhu Yunjing stopped talking and continued to read the script that she hadn't finished reading yesterday.

He Huailing leaned over and stretched out his hand to embrace him, Zhu Yunjing glanced at him, without saying much, and found a comfortable position to lean against it as a pad.

He Huailing lowered his head, a faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, obviously it was the smell of incense that he had always been used to, but Zhu Yunjing felt particularly refreshing after using it.

Giving Zhu Yunjing the same incense as his own, besides being beneficial to both him and the fetus, He Huailing also had some selfish intentions in using the same incense, as if their breaths were gradually blending together, regardless of each other.

"Finch..."

"Huh?" Zhu Yunjing focused on reading the scripture in her hand, and answered him casually.

He Huailing sneered, she said yesterday that she was not allowed to shout like that, but today she forgot about it.
