Chapter 186

A blizzard on New Year's Eve covered the bustling imperial capital with a layer of pure gauze, which really made the city quiet for a few days. However, this layer of tranquility was soon broken. On the second day of the lunar new year, the imperial court began a rare "big move".

Nanming was one of the most important diplomatic countries in Xiping, and this time it was an act of marriage to go to Nanming to meet the princess. Therefore, the people felt that although the team of hundreds of people was huge, they took it for granted that thousands of people were surrounded on the day of departure. As for how many of these onlookers came for King Jin, and how many came for Princess Qingxiang, it is not known.

Bu Qingyi and Liu Xiaoyi, who are located after Lu Jingyi and before the officials of the Ministry of rites, have the status of accompanying envoys, which is also a big attraction of the onlookers - accompanying envoys are common, but such a scale is not common. In addition to the two girls, Bai yuelang and Lei Yunwei are both the topic figures, and the real focus of everyone's surprise is on Bu Qingyi's side.

"So why did Princess Arnold come with us?" Bu Qingyi grinned. He didn't know whether to cry or smile.

Arnold is a little kid, but she seems to be only a child, but she has the meticulous mind that most adults lack. Bu Qingyi likes to talk with her. But the problem is that Arnold is a little girl after all, and she doesn't know how to do it. It's too hard to bear the burden that empress dowager Jiang gives her to protect her so weak!

Arnold didn't like it. He looked at the front with bright eyes. His mature expression was not in line with his age. He was dignified: "I'm here to protect brother Jinwang."

"I'm here." Bu Qingyi was a little depressed. "No matter how bad I am, I can be regarded as a person in the Jianghu. Do you have no confidence in me?"

"Because of the presence of sister Qingyi, I want to follow her. Some people are staring at brother Jinwang in the dark, which is already very dangerous. Now sister Qingyi, who is regarded as a thorn in the flesh, is not more unsafe to accompany her? I don't know how to fight with people, but I can use my brain to help

Arnold side of the head, a sunny smile completely block all the refutation step green clothes.

How can there be such a smart and lovely little guy in the world?!

Bu Qingyi sighed: "if you follow, you will follow. At least you should protect yourself, right? There's a carriage in the back. If you don't do it, you have to ride I said, "you have to be supported to get on the horse, don't you?"

"It's so stuffy in the carriage. How can it be as interesting as chatting with sister Qingyi?" Princess Arnold's mouth was flat, as if she had been wronged, "what? Sister Qingyi doesn't want to talk to me. Do you hate Arnold always pestering you? "

Looking at Arnold's confused face, bu Qingyi for the first time understood how Mo GUI felt when he was making trouble for her.

It seems that his life is not so easy

Bu Qingyi subconsciously turned back, but the team was too long, it was almost impossible to see the people behind. Even so, he could see that Mogui was following. The young girls who stood on tiptoe and covered with peach blossoms in the crowd were the best proof that they kept looking back.

Step green clothes heart dark rub rub and proud smile.

In the past, he thought that the appearance of Mo GUI was just like that. He was regular, not ugly, not handsome. Later, he got along with her for a long time, maybe because she looked good. He gradually felt that she was very good-looking, and the more she looked, the more handsome she was. Now he took off his gorgeous but heavy rich brocade and put on his fresh and sharp Narrow Sleeve strong clothes, which suddenly changed into a general person Looking from a distance and close to each other, I feel that no one can match me.

Of course, it became one of the focuses that attracted those young girls.

"Sister Qingyi, is it unnecessary for me to come? I always feel that you don't need my company all the way? " Liu Xiaoyi follows the other side of Bu Qingyi, and his words are full of teasing and teasing.

In the face of the difficult to respond to the joke, bu Qingyi can only keep her eyes fixed, and pretends not to hear.

She and Mogui are not just husband and wife. They can't get permission to go with each other as relatives. Fortunately, the imperial court allows the young men with no more than five servants and guards. Therefore, Mogui is at the end of the team as a guard.

Although one of the duties of the Deputy cabinet leader is to protect the cabinet leader, but Bu Qingyi always feels uncomfortable. Some experiences make her have a kind of resistance to the word "protection", whether it's Mo GUI or Nan Zhu.

Mo GUI, who was in the last part of the procession, was also happy to meet his relatives in Nanming kingdom. After taking off the identity of Dongyang King Shizi, he was more likely to get along with others. But this kind of carefree mood didn't last for long, only after the huge team of relatives came out of the gate, he met the person who made him most uncomfortable.

Since there was a plan for marriage, there was no lack of "betrothal gifts". Both the emperor and the Ministry of rites paid enough attention to the gifts, and even bought some rare treasures at a high price from the merchants who were wandering in the mainland of China. However, due to too much cargo, the caravan could not take part in the ceremony from the palace gate to the city gate, which was more meaningful than the actual scene. It had to wait outside the city gate early and join the brigade before marching together.

And it is in the freight team that a businessman appears."When the boss?" Bu Qingyi was the first to find out when he was drunk and surprised.

At that time, tongzui was sitting on the carriage carrying goods with his knees crossed. He looked listless and sleepy. As soon as he saw Bu Qingyi, he immediately became energetic: "girl Bu! I've been waiting for you here for a long time. I'm afraid the news that you will go with us is false! "

"How could the boss be here when I was young?" Bu Qingyi asked casually, then saw the carriage full of goods behind him, and suddenly realized, "are these goods provided by you?"

"Yes, I've saved a lot of treasures in these years." Shi tongzui said with pride, "I originally planned to keep it for myself, and then I would marry a wife and have a son to be a family heirloom or something. However, at such a great opportunity, the imperial court is willing to sell it from me at a sky high price. Of course, I have to bear the pain and give it to them!"

Hoarding and profiteering can be said to be so high sounding. When you want to come here, tongzui is also so clever when you bargain with the imperial court, right? I just don't know how much he earned from it and what kind of wealth he has accumulated.

At the beginning, he passed the canyon safely with a bronze bell given by Shi tongzui. After all kinds of delays, he didn't find a suitable opportunity to thank him. Now goodbye, bu Qingyi wants to say a lot to him.

Although it is a mixed team of people, the class from the beginning to the end is very clear, and it is not qualified to walk in front with the identity of being drunk at the same time. Bu Qingyi entrusts Princess Arnold to Bai yuelang and others, and then slows down the horse to allow the team to move forward, until Shi tongzui is at the end of the team, and the two are merged into the escort line.

Mo GUI and Nan Zhu were in front of the caravan. Seeing Bu Qingyi and Shi tongzui talking and laughing, they kept abreast of each other. When they passed by, they didn't even take a look at him, and their sense of freedom vanished.

“…… What's the situation? " Mo GUI looks back and complains that he is full of displeasure. "How can you go anywhere with flies around? Has Qingyi not bathed for a long time? "

South candle frowned, looking not very happy: "sister washed last night, fool."

To reason with Nan Zhu seriously is just to find guilt. Mo GUI consciously interrupts the conversation, but still turns back frequently, searching for bu Qingyi and Shi tongzui in the crowd.

Shi tongzui is funny, humorous and knowledgeable. He can give in to the anecdotes of his travels. Qingyi listens attentively for a long time. When the whole team stops at the same place and the soldiers in front of him come to tell him to have a rest at noon, bu Qingyi suddenly finds that it has been so long.

"It seems that I won't be bored along the way. I'll ask my boss to search more stories in my stomach. I must satisfy my curiosity." Bu Qingyi is still in the mood. Before returning to his original position, he half jokingly told him.

Shitong chuckled: "those guys in the caravan don't think I'm so wordy. It's my good fortune to meet such a serious listener as Bu girl. On the way to Nanming, please take care of me

"That's natural. Who made the boss my friend?"

Although the merchant is rich, but has been the next nine class occupation, so it will be at the end of the welcoming team. Bu Qingyi knows that the officers and soldiers look down on the businessmen most. There may be some people who are looking for shitongzui's trouble along the way. After that, they have to go to him more and let others have a number in their hearts. Don't be so stupid as to run to find shitongzui's trouble and hurt her.

When Bu Qingyi returns, she looks at Mo GUI, but sees a resentful face staring at her. She was not surprised that Mo GUI would be jealous because he was drunk at the same time. Who made him jealous? What's more, shitongzui was the object he had been on guard for a long time.

But bu Qingyi didn't think it was a big problem. She just waved to Mo GUI in a hurry to say hello, and then went back to Princess Arnold.

In order to shorten the time on the road as much as possible, the greeting team only stops at the post station in the evening and has a rest at noon for only half an hour. Although his lunch break was so short, Lu Jingyi came down to eat dry food with the entourage. Nominally, he came to see Princess Arnold, but people knew who he really wanted to see.

"The weather is not so good. I'm afraid it will snow again at night. Do you have thick clothes to keep out the cold?" Lu Jingyi chews dry food while talking to bu Qingyi intentionally or unintentionally.

"I'm a practitioner. I'm not afraid of cold and heat. It's enough to have a single suit to cover my body." Bu Qingyi answered without salt, and his eyes did not look at him.

Princess a'nuo looked at Bu Qingyi, then turned to Lu Jingyi, and gently shook her head: "brother Jinwang is really not good at chatting with girls. I hope that Princess Nanming is a gentle and considerate person, otherwise brother Jinwang will definitely be rejected. "

Liu Xiaoyi and others burst into laughter, but Lu Jingyi couldn't.

Arnold's words sound like a joke, but after careful thinking, she is clearly reminding Lu Jingyi that he should not show his feelings for bu Qingyi, who is about to become the husband of Nanming princess.

No matter men or women, there is a rule in the palace that all princes and daughters know from childhood that the prince's family should not put their feelings above everything. The mission of most of them is to protect the interests of the royal family and to combine with people they may not like.Lu Jingyi is like this, and so is Arnold.
