concubines

Qi Yunruo was stunned, a sudden ecstasy welled up in his heart, but he felt that it was not real, as if he was dreaming.

Lu Lan and Yu Zhi each took a package, Lu Lan said: "Have you eaten?"

Qi Yunruo shook his head blankly.

Lu Lan smiled, "The servant will send the things over first, you can use some pastries first."

"……it is good."

When Qi Yunruo walked into the room, Liusu asked with a pale face, "Why do you want to follow the prince to the northwest? Why have I never heard of it?"

Qi Yunruo didn't hear what she was saying, and sat on the chair without blinking his eyes.

"... Does the young miss know about this?" Liusu frowned in embarrassment.

Qi Yunruo glanced at her from the side, that glance made Liusu a little terrified, but she still said: "Does Miss know about this? You follow the prince without telling Miss, how can Miss manage the back house?!"

Qi Yunruo lowered his eyes and thought, Qi Niqun must not know about it, is it because of what happened in the morning that the prince asked him to go with him?

Liusu has already realized that she cannot be trusted in Dongmeiyuan. She wants to stop at Guanhe Tingzhou, but Lu Lan and Yu Zhi don't give her this chance. Hiding it from herself, letting herself be dumbfounded like a fool, Liusu couldn't explain why she was so angry with Qi Yunruo, wasn't he also very good when he lived in the two small houses in Dongmeiyuan?No one bothered, no one caused trouble, but why did he hook the prince now?Why did you do such things to make the eldest lady unhappy?Missy is the princess!

Qi Yunruo ignored her, swallowed two pieces of cake without taste, and went back to the bedroom to lie down.

Liusu followed in, saw his appearance, but was speechless.

"Young master! Young master!" Xiaoshan hurried in, sweating profusely in such a cold day, "The princess told you to go there immediately."

Liusu's face turned pale, and she looked at Qi Yunruo, frowning anxiously.

Qi Yunruo stood up and put on his shoes again. Xiaoshan said softly, "It's Mr. Yuanbao from Dongmei Courtyard. It seems that the visitor is not kind."

Yuan Bao was the steward of Dongmei Courtyard who was beaten by Qi Yunruo.

When he saw Qi Yunruo coming out, he said in a strange way: "Mr. Qi, the concubine is here to invite you."

Qi Yunruo nodded, Liusu hurriedly followed, Yuan Bao flicked his whisk lightly, and said with sideways eyes: "The concubine asked Mr. Qi to go alone."

Liusu looked at Qi Yunruo worriedly, Qi Yunruo said: "Let's go."

Yuan Bao walked in front, walking slowly, as if deliberately prolonging the distance, but Qi Yunruo was very confused, and he didn't sort out his thoughts when he arrived in front of Dongmei courtyard.

Qi Niqun's current expression was simply ugly and terrifying.

Qi Yunruo originally followed her to marry into the palace as a tool of her obsession, but this seemingly innocent young man could calmly ask the prince to propose to move the yard for him. The prince took care of him more and more, and took care of him all night when he was sick This made Qi Niqun even more resentful, she even prepared to stand on the same boat with Concubine Ji for this, and deal with him after the prince left, but who knew that he was able to pull out the bottom line and persuade the prince to take him away with him.It was so incredible.

Qi Niqun can't help but suspect now that Qi Yunruo keeps seducing the prince in a place where she can't see, and he can already influence the prince's judgment.

But why!Why!But now that he was about to leave, there was absolutely no way for him to keep him.

"Qi Yunruo, I underestimated you." Qi Niqun sneered, not only herself, mother, father, probably all underestimated this person.

Qi Yunruo looked at her calmly, without saying a word for a long time.

Qi Niqun looked directly into his eyes, and slowly said: "But even if you are capable, so what can you do? You have to remember your identity clearly. To put it nicely, you are an escort, but to put it bluntly, you are just Ziyang Bofu." The things you don't want are given to the lord as a bed warmer. Don't think that the lord just cares about you. What if your father spent a lot of money on Shui Linglong? When that woman died, his father didn't even show his face... What happened at that time? Is the second sister sick, or the younger sister is not feeling well? Father's heart aches so badly, how can he care about the life and death of that lowly woman!"

Qi Yunruo's heart suddenly shrank.

Qi Niqun smiled, but her eyes were full of vicious coldness, "Go, I want to serve the lord, the journey is long, the northwest is bitterly cold, and there is no fun, I feel sorry for the arduous journey of the lord, you listen to the lord, let The prince can enjoy himself anytime."

Qi Yunruo's heart is already at a loss, is that so?What does your lord mean?So you want to take yourself to serve?His hands trembled a little, he looked at Qi Niqun, forced himself to calm down, knelt down in front of her, and said in a calm voice: "Princess Wangfei, I'm taking my leave."

Qi Niqun didn't say a word, Qi Yunruo stood up and left Dongmei Courtyard.

After he left, Qi Niqun waved down the teacup by her side, and the white porcelain and tea bloomed crisply on the ground.

On the carriage, Qi Yunruo closed his eyes, peacefully as if falling asleep.The carriage he was riding in contained his and Li Chen's personal belongings, and the rest of the guards were on horseback. It would take at least an hour to ride a horse to Xishan Daying, and it would be even slower for Qi Yunruo to ride in a carriage like this.

Li Yue was outside the car, looking very curiously. He didn't quite understand why the prince took this weak boy on the road. He rolled his eyes maliciously, and after thinking for a while, he let out a wretched laugh.An aristocratic youth beside him rode over and said with a smile, "Brother Li, what did you think of, why are you so happy?"

The person who came was Zhou Lingyan, a son of the Zhou family, who was considered to be of the same generation as Li Chen and Li Yue. His grandfather and the father of the current empress, and Li Chen's grandfather, Zhou Rushan, Cheng Engong, were brothers. The other son of the Zhou family, Zhou Shunhai, was younger. Li Yue didn't dare to underestimate those who had baby faces and looked young, but who could be trusted by the queen.Li Yue said with a smile to Zhou Lingyan: "A good man, sharing worries for the country, doesn't it make people happy?"

Zhou Ling praised: "Sure enough, it is the blood of the Tian family. Brother Li's state of mind, I can't wait."

Li Yue smiled awkwardly, consciously staying away from them.

When they arrived at Xishan Camp, Zhao Weidu's cronies came to welcome them, but they didn't attract too many people's attention. Zhao Weidu said: "I will organize you into my guard camp, which will be led by His Royal Highness Chunwang. When there is no one, don’t attract too many people’s attention, you go to the tent and change your clothes, we will practice at night.”

Li Yue took the lead and said, "This subordinate understands."

Zhou's uncle and nephew also nodded, and followed Zhao Weidu's soldiers.

In the evening, Li Chen and Zhao Wei both greeted each other and went to their tents. Qi Yunruo had arranged the dinner for the two of them, and was sitting on the blanket and lost in thought.

Li Chen sat on the blanket opposite him and said with a smile, "Xiao Qi, what's the matter?"

Qi Yunruo was stunned for a moment, then looked at him, "My lord, you are here."

Li Chen stretched his back, and said, "Stop talking, I'm a little hungry, let's eat something first." Dinner was a plate of sauced beef, a plate of green vegetables with butterflies, and a few steamed buns. Li Chen He didn't feel uncomfortable, so he ate a lot with water, but Qi Yunruo didn't eat anything.

"Is it not to your taste?" Li Chen asked.

Qi Yunruo shook his head, "No."

"Are you tired this afternoon?"

Qi Yunruo looked at Li Chen, Li Chen's eyes were very gentle, Qi Yunruo's heart gradually softened when he saw it, but Qi Niqun's words always lingered in his heart.

Li Chen said: "Xiao Qi, I didn't tell you this morning, because I really wanted to see your reaction when you suddenly found out about this matter, but unfortunately I need to go to the palace today, and I didn't come with you. I didn't consider whether you can Get used to this kind of life, if you don't like it, I'll send someone to take you back tomorrow."

Qi Yunruo shook his head quickly, "I'm very glad to come out with you." Qi Yunruo took a big bite of steamed buns, and then went to grab some meat to eat. Seeing his appetite suddenly improved, Li Chen felt better.

After the meal, Li Chen changed into a centurion's warrior uniform, which was covered with dark yellow armor. Qi Yunruo helped him change it, and thought it was very novel. Li Chen smiled and said, "Does it look good?"

Qi Yunruo nodded seriously, "You look good in whatever you wear."

Li Chen was noncommittal, tapped his forehead with his finger, opened the tent and went out to talk to Zhao Wei about military training, Qi Yunruo put aside his salutes and began to make the bedding—only one quilt, his face blushed first, Another froze.

In the military camp, if Li Chen wanted to do something, it would be really embarrassing.

The candle flames were like beans, Qi Yunruo leaned on the quilt, and heard the sound outside gradually shaking the sky, the voices of the soldiers practicing were mixed with the shouts and curses of the officers, but Qi Yunruo felt peaceful, he was destined not to live that kind of life, but because of that Live with joy.

When Li Chen came back, Qi Yunruo put on a set of soldier clothes and came back with a basin of water, "My lord, please wash it."

Li Chen nodded, sat down on the bunk, took off his shoes and socks, Qi Yunruo knelt on the ground, and said, "There is a washerwoman in the army, and there is a Mrs. Wang who washes your clothes. On weekdays, it is General Zhao who eats your food." Cook, are you satisfied?"

Li Chen asked, "How do you know this?"

Qi Yunruo smiled, "When you were not around, General Yu, who was standing next to General Zhao, came to tell me about it."

Li Chen looked at Qi Yunruo who was soaking his hands in the water to wash his feet, and said, "Forget about the washerwoman, I will do what the soldiers do on weekdays." Li Chen paused, "or... Yan’s clothes are also brought here, eat and use whatever you want, we are not here to enjoy the blessings.”

Qi Yunruo nodded, "I remember, I will talk about it tomorrow."

Not many people know about Li Chen's coming to the army, and only the high-level people in the army know about it. Others probably think that some young master came to make military achievements. Thinking hard, seeing Qi Yunruo's delicate skin and tender flesh, he secretly said that this young man is probably not only taking care of daily life, but also taking care of things on the kang.

These remarks did not reach Qi Yunruo's ears. He knew that Li Chen was in a good mood after he planned to take him with him from the beginning, and gradually forgot what Qi Niqun said. For two consecutive days, Li Chen was too busy to see him. As a figure, Qi Yunruo also gets up early every day, serves water and meals, and is busy, but he feels very fulfilled.

Two days later, the army pulled out the stronghold and marched westward. Qi Yunruo followed Li Chen on horseback. The sky was vast and the sky was high and the land was wide. Although the wind was still cold, the soldiers walked heavily, their expressions were solemn and proud, and there was no trace of sadness. It means that, on the contrary, the excitement of making contributions is filling the white clouds.

The sound of "da, da, da" horseshoes sounded in his ears, and Qi Yunruo turned around, just in time to see a familiar figure galloping towards him.

Li Chen pulled the rein and narrowed his eyes.

Qi Yunying stopped the horse with a "wow", clasped her fists and said, "My lord, I would like to follow you to the northwest, drive out the Qiang people, and protect our border."
