Chang'an Ferry

"Going to the northwest!" The emperor looked out the window with his hands behind his back.

Manager Cao bowed his waist, "Yes"

The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his temples, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? You haven't rested all night," Director Cao said.

"Nothing, let's go to court"

"Yes"

"It's okay!" Mu Zhan reached out to support Mu Yanying, and Mu Yingying shook her head with tears in her eyes, "It's okay!"

"You've never driven such an urgent journey before, so it's inevitable that you're not used to it." Mu Zhan poured some water to wipe Mu Yingying's face.

"Hmm..." Mu Yanying just vomited out all the food she ate, and sat down feeling a little weak.

"My lord, should we find a place to rest and rest before we start?" Qing Shu suggested.

Mu Zhan also nodded, "Yes!"

"Yeah." Mu Yanying nodded.

Mu Zhan looked along the official road, "About half an hour in a carriage, and more than an hour on foot, Yanying, are you going to take a carriage or walk?"

"Let's walk." Mu Yanying was a little embarrassed, "I wasted Daddy's time."

"It's okay, I can't delay." Mu Zhan waved his hands, then walked up to Mu Yingying and squatted down, "Come on, Daddy will carry you on your back"

"No need" Mu Yanying shook her head "I'll go by myself"

"Hurry up," Mu Zhan urged.

"General, do you want me to recite it?" Chu Ping asked.

Mu Yanying hesitated, "Daddy, Uncle Ping should carry me on the back."

Mu Zhan was a little dissatisfied, "Why, the old bone that dislikes your father can't carry you?"

"No." Then he lifted the hem of his clothes and lay on Mu Zhan's back, and Mu Zhan's back turned upside down.

But Mu Zhan didn’t come back alone, there were other soldiers who came back for the New Year. As more and more people returned to the northwest all the way, there are now three to 400 people. If Mu Zhan wants to walk, he must first arrange for others. Mu Yingying He blushed and covered his head with a hood.

"Go and settle in the city first, I'll be there later"

"Yes" the soldiers clasped their fists and rode forward.

After the people left, Mu Zhan laughed loudly, "Okay, all the Yingying people are gone."

"It's too embarrassing." Mu Yanying was about to cry.

"It's okay, they all know that you are not in good health, they understand." Then he paused and continued, "Besides, you have been tossing all the way, don't they have no jokes?"

"Father" Mu Yanying was ashamed to see others.

"Okay, okay," Mu Zhan comforted, "If they dare to make a joke, I'll beat them with army sticks."

"Don't fight, they didn't do anything wrong," Mu Yanying said in a low voice.

Mu Zhan nodded, "Okay, don't fight, don't fight! Is this going to be uncomfortable?"

"Better"

"Well, when you feel better, you can sleep well. You haven't had a good rest these days. I'll call you when you get there."

"it is good"

Royal Palace

Li Shengye was kneeling in the imperial study room, the emperor sat on the chair and slowly flipped through the book without speaking, Li Shengye didn't know why Mu Yanying didn't tell his father, but now his father doesn't look like he doesn't know.

"Father, I don't know why you asked your son to enter the palace?"

The emperor raised his eyes, "What? Impatient?"

"I dare not!" Li Shengye bent down and kowtowed.

"I think you are bold." The emperor took a deep breath, "I did intend to make you the crown prince, do you know why?"

"My son doesn't know"

The emperor sighed, "I can't protect Yanying all the time, so I want to find someone to look after him and protect him for a lifetime without worry."

Li Shengye lowered his head and did not speak.

"The reason why I like you is because you have a good relationship with Yanying. I think you can take good care of him, but I don't want you..." The emperor couldn't say it. It doesn't mean I don't know, you'd better put away those thoughts that you shouldn't have."

"Father, how do you take back the heart you gave away?" Li Shengye asked back.

The emperor was taken aback when he heard this, "If you want this position, just put away your thoughts. I don't have other ways. Whenever you figure it out, come and find me." Then he left the study.

"Yuying, wake up." Mu Zhan put Mu Yingying down, and Mu Yingying nodded, "It's hard work, daddy."

"It's not hard! It's no problem to memorize it for so long." Mu Zhan waved his hand, "You'll just stay here for a few days, rest up and go out."

"Yeah." Mu Yanying nodded.

Because Mu Zhan had delayed for some time before, after placing Mu Yanying well, he set off with the others.

"My lord, you've lost weight, let's rest here for a while and hurry!" Qing Shu said while arranging his things.

"How long is it to the northwest?" Mu Yanying looked down at the book.

"There are still ten days to go." Qing Shu calculated, "But it will take half a month if we go slowly."

"Well, let's rest for a few days first." Close the book and lie down on the bed to sleep. These days, Mu Yanying is really haggard.

"Your Highness, why are you not in a hurry?" Xiao Lizi was very anxious.

Li Shengye held the jade pendant Mu Yuying gave him in his hand, "What's the hurry?"

"Your Highness, if His Majesty despises you, what should you do!"

Stuffing the jade pendant into his chest, "If you dislike it, you dislike it" is just enough to pursue Yanying with all your heart.

Xiao Lizi was very angry, "Master, do you remember when you were in the cold palace? If you are not favored, you can't even eat a hot meal, but if you are favored, those who bully you don't kneel down and kowtow to you. Think about it." If you sit in that position, you can have whatever you want?"

Li Shengye approached Xiao Lizi with a sullen face, and put his hands on his neck, "You want me to be such an unscrupulous person?"

"No, slave doesn't mean that, slave..."

"You don't need to explain, I know what you want to say? Get lost! I can't keep someone as ambitious as you in my house." Li Shengye threw him out of the door.

Little Lizi struggled to get up and knelt down, "Your Highness, this is the only way to go for the present." After finishing speaking, a book came oncoming.

Li Shengye clenched his fist, I don't believe it, there is no other way.

"What did you say, the fourth prince went to the northwest?" The emperor slapped the table with an angry expression.

"Yes" a man in black kneeling on the ground said respectfully.

"Forget it," the emperor picked up a pen, "I know Yan Ying's temperament, the fourth child will not get the answer he wants"

"However, if His Royal Highness becomes angry because of this, to Young Master..." the man in black said tentatively.

The emperor snorted coldly, "It's not up to him"

The man in black stopped talking.

Only Li Shengqi was happy for Li Shengye to leave the imperial city, and Li Shengjing felt very uncomfortable, because his concubine was pregnant again, and he originally planned to take his wife and children to the village to wait for the birth, but now he had to run around in the dark, Seeing Li Shengqi's smiling face like a flower every day makes me want to scold others, what's so happy about being a coolie!

After resting for a few days, Mu Yanying finally regained her senses. Qingshu made the carriage soft the day before, to ensure that there would be no bumps when Mu Yanying sat on it.

Because the Northwest Army has been stationed all year round, the frontier is also very prosperous. Before reaching the border, you can see traders coming and going. They will pass through Yanxi City to do business with other countries in the Western Regions. Changning City is where they rest and purchase supplies. The place.

"My lord, it's so exciting!" Qing Shu simply jumped out of the carriage, and greeted the roadside vendors while leading the horse.

"Qingshu, find a place to settle down and go to Yanxi City tomorrow," Mu Yanying said.

"Okay!" Qing Shu found a passer-by and inquired about the nearest inn nearby, and led the carriage there.

"The store has two upper rooms"

"Okay..." The shopkeeper took the money and handed over the key to Qing Shu, and Qing Shu walked ahead excitedly with his burden on his back.

"Qingshu, we'll go out after we arrange the things," Mu Yanying said.

Qing Shu happily held Mu Yanying's hand, "Really?"

"Yeah! If I don't go, I'm worried that your heart will go out." Mu Yanying joked.

Qing Shu scratched his hair in embarrassment, "It's not that powerful yet, serving the young master is the most important thing"

"Okay, I'll clean up with you"

"No, my lord, you sit down, I'll come, soon" Mu Yuying tidied up the house without sitting for a while, Qingshu looked a little embarrassed when facing Mu Yuying, "My lord, I'll wear a curtain for you "

The reason why Qing Shu is so happy is because he spent several years in Northwest China, "Master, do you know? When I was in the military camp, I would come here to play every time I was on vacation."

"Then is there anyone I know here?" Mu Yanying looked around through the curtain, and it was indeed as bustling and lively as Mr. Ji said.

"No, I've been away for several years, but I still remember that in the years when the delicious meals in many places were plentiful and cheap, all my monthly gifts were spent on them," Qing Shu said proudly.

Mu Yanying shook her head, "You're still very happy. When you meet a girl you like in the future, let's see if you can get a bride price."

Qing Shu chuckled, "It's time to ask Young Master for help."

"Okay, I'll prepare it for you, but I can't be so unrestrained," Mu Yanying said earnestly.

Qing Shu patted his chest, "My lord, don't worry! I will."

"Well," looked at Chu Ping, "If Uncle Ping has a girl he likes, I'll prepare it for you too."

Chu Ping nodded, "Thank you, my lord."

Even so, Mu Yanying followed Qingshu to the place in his memory, and it was really cheap and plentiful.

"The store is real," Mu Yanying hiccupped.

"That is, the people who come to eat here are porters and generals from the barracks. They all have a big appetite, so we have to prepare them all," the shopkeeper explained when he heard Mu Yanying say this while packing up the dishes at the adjacent table.

"So that's the case, thank you store." Mu Yanying nodded.

"You're welcome." This person is really strange, he wears a curtain when eating.

"Boss, do as usual." Several burly men walked over and found a table to sit down.

"My lord, one of them was a soldier who came with us at that time," Qing Shu said.

"Yeah." Mu Yanying nodded, put down her chopsticks, and was about to turn her head to greet them when she heard a person ask, "Brother Zhang, please tell me what it means that pear blossoms are raining."

"I can't say it." The man named Brother Zhang waved his hand.

"Oh, brother Zhang, just say it! Xiao Er serves wine, good wine," another person said.

"Alcohol is not allowed." Brother Zhang is very principled.

"Oh, Brother Zhang, is this a secret?"

"No"

"Then you just say it! We will never say it, come on, the wine is here, drink" suddenly became lively.

"It's true that you can't say this, you will be punished if you say it."

"Oh, Brother Zhang, it's not a secret, just say it casually"

"Yes!" After several people took turns to fight, Brother Zhang finally wavered.

"If you say that pear blossoms bring rain, you are talking about our general's son"

"The General's Son"

"that"

"Yeah! The general's son doesn't look like it! Hei Lihua is the one with the rain"

"It's not the Northern General and the Second Young Master, but the Third Young Master"

"Oh"

"Third son!"

"You have seen, we all heard that the third son is not in good health"

"Yeah! What's the rain method?"

Mu Yanying folded her hands and listened intently.

"You don't know, the third son's appearance is simply amazing"

"Is it dark?"

"Black fart" that person was beaten up by Brother Zhang, "That's called a white, like pear petals"

"Really!"

"Is there anyone that white?"

"Yes, the third son is so white."

"But the general can't see it for nothing!"

"Tch, you are ignorant! The general's wife is the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan, how big is Jiangnan! First, she is so beautiful, the third young master probably looks like his wife! Besides, the general is not bad in appearance, even if the wind blows her sun-tanned"

"That's right, the general's face is still very handsome"

"That's right! General Bei also has good-looking facial features."

"Brother Zhang, what does it mean that it's raining? The third son fell into the water or got caught in the rain"

"Nonsense, how could we let the third son fall into the rain with us?"

Mu Yanying had already guessed it, she clenched her fist angrily, and Qing Shu lit a candle for that brother Zhang.

That brother Zhang lowered his voice, "It's just that the young master has been on the road for a long time, and his body can't bear it, and he feels a little nauseous." Then he unconsciously increased his voice, "We ordinary people vomited it, it's hard to watch, but when our third son vomited, it made a small face. There are tears in the corners of the red eyes, I can't help but feel distressed when I see it."

"Hahaha, you feel bad! Be careful the general punishes you to wash socks"

"Fuck off"

"Hey, Brother Zhang, is it later?"

"Later, I definitely can't continue to toss like this, and then I rested halfway, but you haven't seen how loving the general is."

"How many are there?"

"The general personally carried the son on his back to settle in the city"

"Tch, it's normal. If I have such a beautiful son, I will hold it in my palm."

"Dream you"

"However, you didn't see that the third son is really handsome, and I don't know which girl is cheaper in the future."

"Do you want to guess?" Mu Yanying stood up and asked quietly.

"How can I guess?" Then he was taken aback, watching the other people at the same table looking behind him in a daze, and suddenly felt bad.
