On the tenth day of November, the snow stopped.

Princess Huiyang married far away in northern Xinjiang, and Prince Duan was ordered to send her off.Yu Rongbei was the temporary commander-in-chief of the guards to protect the two of them comprehensively.And Xu Xilu, as his staff officer, went north with the army.

On the day Prince Duan and Princess Huiyang left the capital, the Holy Majesty came to see them off at the city gate, and all civil and military officials were present.Such a big battle really gave Prince Duan and King Bei'an enough face.

Today's Prince Duan is more graceful and luxurious than in the past.I saw him wearing an indigo dragon robe, with a golden crown in his hair, and his eyebrows were open, and he was extremely handsome.Standing half a step behind him, Yu Rongbei was wearing armor, a black cloak, and a saber in his belt. He looked heroic and majestic.Princess Huiyang sits upright on the palanquin, with a phoenix crown and xiapei, her lips are a little bit red, and her dimples are more beautiful than flowers.

The three of them are today's protagonists.As a supporting role, Xu Xilu could only stand in the crowd and look at the bright yellow figure on the city wall from a distance - that man was Emperor Cheng Ning, the master of the world today.

After standing for an unknown amount of time, Xu Xilu's legs were going numb, and the people from the Ministry of Rituals finally said loudly: "The auspicious time has come—to send the Princess to marry—" At the same time, drums and horns blared, shaking the sky and the earth.The mighty sending-off army kowtowed farewell to Emperor Chengning on the city wall, and then rushed northward under Yu Rongbei's order.

Xie Qingsu stood in the queue of civil servants, looking back and forth, but did not see the person he wanted to see.But he knew that Xu Xilu was among them.After a few months, they will meet again.At that time, he will give himself an answer.

Xu Xilu was sitting on the carriage, opened the curtain and looked back into the distance, just in time to see the back of Emperor Chengning turning around.

The sky is high and the sea is wide, and the clouds rise and the dragons fly.He finally left Shangjing.

Princess Huiyang's wedding ceremony was huge, including the guards led by Yu Rongbei, the guard of honor holding fans, and dozens of carriages with dowry.Apart from Xu Xilu, a civil servant with the name of a staff officer, several officials from the Ministry of Rites are also sitting in the carriage. They will follow all the way to Beijiang to preside over the wedding ceremony for King Bei'an and Princess Huiyang.

The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and the journey is long.If he really spends all day in the carriage, Xu Xilu will definitely be too idle to lay eggs.Fortunately, he asked Xing Nong to prepare the paws and the storybook, and he didn't feel that the time was too much for him while he was eating melon seeds and reading the storybook.

After walking for about half a day, the carriage stopped suddenly, followed by Yu Rongbei's shout: "Dinner—"

Xu Xilu poked his head out of the carriage, Yu Rongbei saw him, drove his horse to his side, and said with a smile, "How about it, Xilu, is it fun to ride in a carriage?"

"It's okay, it's just a little bumpy."

Yu Rongbei laughed loudly when he heard the words, "We are on the official road, and you are too disrespectful. When you get to the northern border, won't you be so distorted that you can't even eat overnight dinner?"

Xu Xilu was a little depressed: "Brother-in-law's meal time, can you stop talking about the overnight meal?"

Yu Rongbei laughed and said, "Let's go, brother-in-law will take you to dinner!"

In addition to the chef who cooks for everyone in the team, there are also two royal chefs from the imperial dining room, who are responsible for the meals of Princess Huiyang and Prince Duan.When he was away from home, Xu Xilu didn't pay too much attention, as long as he had a big pot of food to eat.He followed Yu Rongbei to get the food, and was about to sit and eat anywhere like his brother-in-law who had no airs of a general, when he saw Xuan Mo walking towards him.

"Minister Xu, my lord wants you to have dinner with him in the carriage."

As soon as the words fell, the young generals around all cast subtle glances at Xu Xilu.Xu Xilu pretended not to notice, and put the bowl and chopsticks into Xuan Mo's hands, "I'll go right away."

Song Yanqing's carriage was more spacious than Princess Huiyang's sedan chair, so there was no problem with how many people could be accommodated.In addition to the cushions that can be seen everywhere, there are also bookcases and desks. It is simply a small study room, and there is a charcoal basin for heating.When Xu Xilu arrived, there were seven dishes and one soup on the table. Although the portion looked small, the plate was exquisite, no worse than what Xu Xilu usually eats in Xu Mansion.

Song Yanqing saw him and said dryly, "Sit."

Xu Xilu sat down opposite Song Yanqing, without moving his chopsticks, he looked at the person opposite seriously.Song Yanqing felt uncomfortable being watched by him, "What are you doing?"

Xu Xilu stroked his chin, and said leisurely: "Is the little prince angry again?"

"..."

"According to the officer, the little prince is only slightly angry this time, and he is still trying to suppress the resentment?" Xu Xilu said with a smile, "You don't need it, you just need to express your anger to the officer. The lower officials are used to it."

Song Yanqing put down the chopsticks with a snap, "Don't talk nonsense, eat."

"Oh!" Xu Xilu thought that he had escaped a catastrophe. He just poured a bowl of soup for himself, and before he had time to take a sip, he heard Song Yanqing couldn't bear it anymore: "Don't forget that you are here to relieve this king. It's been a long time, and you don't come to look for this lord, and you still have to urge me to invite you, you... are really deceiving people!"

Xu Xilu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Just because of this?"

Song Yanqing gritted her teeth, "Do you still think it's a trivial matter?" Thinking back now, since the two of them met until now, he was almost always the one who took the initiative to find Xu Xilu. He couldn't help but have the illusion that he was posting backwards.

Xu Xilu really thought it was a trivial matter, but he didn't dare to tell the truth even if he was beaten to death.Years of experience told him that when facing a tsundere beauty who likes to blow up hair, as long as he touches her hair smoothly, everything will be fine. "Little prince, please calm down." He put a piece of braised pork into Song Yanqing's bowl, "It's all the fault of the lower officials. In the future, the lower officials will definitely take the initiative to find the prince for dinner."

Facing Xu Xilu's smiling face, Song Yanqing's heart that had been stuck for a long time was finally relieved, and he even acted like a good boy, "I didn't want to say these things at first. But now you take the initiative to talk about it, then you'd better remember what you said. "

Seeing that Xu Xilu had no intention of leaving after eating, Song Yanqing was secretly happy.The two played a game of chess, and Song Yanqing found that Xu Xilu's chess skills were too bad. Every time he made a move, he would frown and think about the time for half a stick of incense. After waiting until he yawned again and again, Xu Xilu simply put down the chess pieces, "If the prince is sleepy Why don't you go to bed first?"

"how about you?"

"Me?" Xu Xilu said with a smile, "I'm not going anywhere, just stay here with the prince."

Song Yanqing went to take a rest on the couch with peace of mind.Xu Xilu took a book from the shelf and sat beside him. Song Yanqing could see his side face as soon as he opened his eyes——his mood improved.

, the carriage was moving fairly steadily, and Song Yanqing slept for two hours as soon as she fell asleep.When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark and the lights in the car were already on.Xu Xilu moved from the couch on the left to the couch on the right, and turned half of the books upside down on the table. He was holding a jade pendant in his hand, and he was so engrossed that he didn't even notice it when he got up.

"Cough--" Song Yanqing coughed lightly to indicate his existence, Xu Xilu heard the sound and looked over, the dim light shone on his face, showing a hazy and beautiful beauty.Song Yanqing's voice was rarely gentle, "What is that in your hand?"

"My lord said this?" Xu Xilu held up the jade pendant.

Song Yanqing nodded, "I have seen you wear this jade pendant several times, but what is it special?"

"That's right." Xu Xilu said lightly, "This is a relic left to me by my mother."

This is the first time Song Yanqing heard him mention her mother who died many years ago.He was silent for a moment, "That must be very important to you."

Xu Xilu smiled lightly, "Yes, my eldest sister told me that this is for my wife."

Song Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then said slowly: "Then... do you have someone you want to give away?"

Looking at the crystal clear jade pendant in his hand, Xu Xilu seemed to vaguely see a cool and handsome face on it, and murmured involuntarily: "Maybe... there is."

Song Yanqing felt her heart being pulled, "Who is it?" He repeated with an emphasis, "Who is it?"

Facing Song Yanqing's almost terrifying sharp gaze, Xu Xilu put the jade pendant in his palm as if waking up from a dream, trying to cover up his gaffe just now, and said with a smile: "The little prince has slept for a long time, do you want some refreshments?"

Song Yanqing didn't seem to hear, he approached Xu Xilu step by step, Xu Xilu backed back again and again until there was no way to back.Song Yanqing's eyes seemed to be brewing a storm, and his whole body exuded violence. This was completely different from his angry appearance in the past. Xu Xilu had never seen him like this before. He was trapped in Song Yanqing's arms, behind his back. It's a bookshelf full of books, "My lord?"

Song Yanqing, who couldn't get the answer, was even more hostile. He grabbed Xu Xilu's wrist suddenly, and then leaned over, "Say, who do you want to give it to?"

Xu Xilu tried to break free from Song Yanqing's restraint, but he felt the pressure on him was getting tighter.If he tried his best to resist, he might not be able to push Song Yanqing away.It's just that Song Yanqing is a noble prince after all, and if he really made him anxious, his situation will only get worse.He sighed and said, "My lord, let me go first."

Song Yanqing had a cold face, "Don't let it go."

Xu Xilu collected himself, and said: "The marriage is a major matter, and my parents are the ones to decide. I want to give this jade to my mother, and when my marriage is finalized, she will pass it on to my future wife."

Song Yanqing didn't seem to believe it, "That's it?"

Xu Xilu nodded decisively, "That's it."

Song Yanqing let go of her hands in doubt.Xu Xilu breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed his wrist lightly, only then did Song Yanche realize that there was a faint red mark on his fair wrist.I think it was because I was too strong just now that I accidentally injured him.

"Don't move around," Song Yanqing said awkwardly, "I'll go to announce the imperial physician."

Xu Xilu knew that Song Yanqing was really guilty, otherwise he wouldn't have even forgotten what he called himself.He smiled reassuringly, "I'm not a woman, this little injury is nothing to worry about. The imperial doctor will save it, but I will ask the prince to arrest someone next time, and use another arresting side."

Song Yanqing looked at the wound on his hand, and there seemed to be a big dark cloud piled up on his chest, and said speechlessly, "Can you still laugh?"

There were bursts of cheers faintly coming from outside the car. This sound had been going on for a long time. The situation was special just now, and neither of them paid attention to it. Now they became curious. "My lord must have been bored after sitting in the car all day, why don't we go out and see what's going on?"

Song Yanqing nodded, got out of the carriage first, and then naturally turned around to help Xu Xilu.Xu Xilu felt that the gaze cast on him was becoming more and more subtle, and he complained incessantly, but he still took Song Yanqing's hand and got out of the carriage.

"Xuan Mo, what happened in front?"

"Go back to your lord," Xuan Mo said, "It was General Yu who hunted a wild boar."

"En?" Xu Xilu became interested, he hadn't tasted roast suckling pig yet. "My lord, it's going to be night soon, it seems that I won't be able to reach Yongzhou today, why don't we camp here and rest?"

Song Yanqing was still brooding over the matter that he had hurt Xu Xilu just now, so his request was naturally granted.The guards were busy setting up camp, and the cooks in the army killed the wild boars that had just been hunted, found an open place to set up a bonfire, and roasted a whole one.

Xu Xilu had a fresh idea, so he went over to join in the fun.After roasting for half an hour, the wild boar is golden and crispy, making a sizzling sound, and the hot oil is left along the meat lines, and the aroma can be smelled from far away.

Princess Huiyang had already changed into a normal suit, and could not help poking her head out when she smelled the fragrance, "What is it, it smells so fragrant."

Princess Huiyang's dowry girl Wan Tong said: "Going back to the princess, it seems that a wild boar is being roasted."

"Wild boar?" Princess Huiyang's eyes lit up, and she said enthusiastically, "I want to see it too!"

Wan Tong hurriedly stopped her, "You mustn't do it, Princess! The front is full of rough people in the army, and the princess has golden branches and jade leaves. How can you mix with those people?"

Hui Yang said indifferently: "They are here to protect me, what's the matter?"

"That can't be the same," Wan Tong persuaded, "If the princess wants to taste roasted wild boar, the servants can send some."

"Hey, you're so annoying." Hui Yang complained, she rolled her eyes and said, "Well, go and invite the little prince here, just say that I have something important to see him."
