Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 194

In the afternoon, the warm wind blows people, making people dizzy and drowsy.

Song Ji sat alone in front of the window, her head drooped, revealing the back of her neck which was as white as jade under her collar. She hadn't closed her eyes since midnight last night, and now she couldn't lift her spirits up and dozed off.While half asleep and half awake, she seemed to hear someone's voice, her body trembled, and she woke up, turned her head sideways, and saw the emperor half lying on the bed, looking at her.

"When did His Majesty wake up? This concubine didn't realize it. She is really to blame."

Song Jiqiao blushed slightly, stood up quickly, turned her back and raised her hand to pat her cheek to make herself more awake, then bent down to pick up the clear water on the case, and walked in front of the emperor.

"I'm not thirsty."

The emperor raised his hand and waved it, signaling Song Ji to put down the porcelain cup and sit in front of him: "Come here and have a chat with me."

Song Ji followed her words, as gentle and respectful as always, waiting for the emperor to speak.

"What time is it?"

The emperor turned his neck with some difficulty, and looked out the window at the sky.

"The end has just passed."

"The time has come..."

Hearing the answer, the emperor lay down again, looking at the ceiling beams in the hall, his pale face was alternately sad and joyful: "At this time, Xingnan should have left the capital, right? This little girl is restless by nature. I like novelty the most, and it should be more joyful to go to the beautiful place of Wuxing Water Town..."

Song Ji sighed in her heart, and said: "Princess Yijia, I have already left at noon. I will take Dao Yixing, and I will arrive in Wuxing in the middle of July."

"The road is good. Although there are bumps, there are no wind and waves. This girl has never been on a boat, so she may not be able to withstand the waves."

The emperor smiled, then looked at Song Ji, and said softly: "It's been hard for you these days."

"It is a concubine's honor and duty to be close to His Majesty."

Song Ji leaned over to cover the emperor with a layer of silk, her movements were gentle and careful.

"You are a creature who loves beauty, but it is a pity that I can't appreciate your beauty. You are only a hard worker, and you are also an abrupt beauty. I promised you that I will let you go out of the palace to find another lover. Now the time has come, Song Ji, I wonder whose house you want to go to?"

The emperor looked down at the gentle and beautiful woman who had been serving him for more than half a year, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes.People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless, if Song Ji hadn't taken good care of her in the past, he might not have survived until now and fulfilled his long-cherished wish.Therefore, I am very grateful to this beautiful woman and want to repay her.

When Song Ji heard this, her shoulders trembled.The past few days were simply torture for her, not only physical fatigue, but also despair of the future.After serving the emperor for a long time, she also witnessed many secrets that she shouldn't know, and she was even more pessimistic in her heart, and she no longer dared to look forward to the future.But I didn't expect that what I thought the emperor was just saying to appease her, now brought up the old matter again.

But she is also clear that she knows the emperor's situation the most, and it is not an exaggeration to say that her life is hanging by a thread. To arrange for her to leave the palace now means that she has given up the struggle for life.It was originally an arrangement that could be called a surprise for her, but now she couldn't bear to agree to it, and said with tears in her eyes: "I don't think so, I only wish to serve Your Majesty forever."

"Let's go, you have to go, if you don't go now, you may not be able to leave easily in the future. If you go, I will have no debts or regrets in the world."

The emperor sighed, and then his face showed majesty: "I should go too, leave here, go to the place I should go. How can the emperor stay in the middle, how can he stay in the side hall for a long time!"

------

The ceremonial team that escorted the princess from the capital was huge, in addition to the thousand or so members of the Shen family, there were also two thousand imperial guards.The banners are unfurled, full of majesty.

In addition to these entourages, there are dozens of Taicheng ceremony officials below Taichang Huaheng, who will follow all the way to Wukang Shen's house, where they will preside over the wedding of the princess and Shen Zhezi.

For such a huge team, it would be fine if they took the water route, but after many trade-offs, they finally chose the land route.After all, the river is not stable, sometimes there are Jiehu or rebels who make trouble on the river, and there are many people in Jingkou and Jinling. Although the land route is a bit more difficult, it is safe after all.However, supplies along the way were very difficult, although Taichung issued an edict to the local government offices along the way to raise supplies and arrange rites and stops.However, the situation in each place is different, and it is difficult to be accurate.

At this time, the strength of the Shen family as a powerful family in the Jiangdong was reflected. From the moment they left Danyang, Shen Zhezi sent someone to go ahead and notify the families along the way, hoping to make it easier.There were almost no twists and turns along the way. Although the friendship between each family was different, they all gave face to the Shen family. Some people gave people, some provided food, and some places provided places, which met the needs of the huge ceremony.

Even in Yixing County, where the Shen family's feud, the Zhou family, was located, nothing unexpected happened.Although the Xianzong lineage of the Zhou family was wiped out, the remaining clansmen are also the leading wealthy clan in Yixing.When Shen Zhezi went to Jiankang for the first time, he had to turn north because the Zhou family's rebel army occupied Yangxian, the prefecture of Yixing County.

But after arriving in Yixing this time, Yijia was welcomed and treated by various families, even the Zhou family was no exception.No matter how deep the hatred is, there will always be a day when it fades away.Now it is an indisputable fact that the Shen family is powerful, no matter how much the Zhou family persists in their old grievances, it will not help the matter, and there is nothing the Shen family can do.

Maybe one day when the Shen family's family fortune declines, this old grievance will be revived again, but at least for now, the Zhou family has no choice but to put down the grudge and welcome the princess.

In addition to meeting and receiving family members recently, Shen Zhezi has one more thing that he cannot ignore.That is, as the distance from the capital gradually fades away, the princess's mood also fluctuates. The little girl has never been so far away from home, and sometimes there will be novelty and joy, but most of the time she is depressed, and occasionally shed tears.

After passing through Yangxian on this day, Shen Zhezi had just met the team that came to pick him up from his home and deliver the supplies of rice, when the servant of the princess came to report that the princess was in a mood and refused to eat.

Shen Zhezi was not bothered by appeasing the princess.Although this little girl has become much more sensitive recently, she can still understand the truth most of the time, and she is not blindly willful.

After hearing this, Shen Zhezi smiled apologetically at his uncle Shen Ke, who was busy admonishing his son Shen Mu, who was playing wild in the capital, and waved his hands after seeing this: "Qingque, go quickly, don't be rude, princess .”

Shen Zhezi hurried to the team, and it didn't take long to see the Siwangxiang chariot the princess was riding in.The palace people in front of the car looked anxious, and among them was the female history sent by the two empresses. Seeing Shen Zhezi approaching, she hurriedly went up to greet him and whispered: "Master, the princess refuses to eat again, so I will serve you." All the food was thrown away."

After being intimidated by Shen Zhezi, and now that their family members are under the control of the Shen family, when the two female historians saw Shen Zhezi again, they had completely settled down, no longer arrogant, and even more respectful than other palace people. Even Shen Zhezi had to read the notices submitted to the court before submitting them.

The palace people were talking all over the place, and they couldn't tell why the princess got angry again.Shen Zhezi waved his hand, motioning for the eloquent maid Yunzhi to come forward, and asked, "Miss Yunzhi, do you know why the princess is upset?"

After Yunzhi heard the words, his expression became a bit weird, he hesitated to speak, and after pondering for a long time, he whispered: "I'm just guessing, I just heard what I heard from the servant girl, sir, please don't tell the princess that you are a servant girl. Talk too much."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help being even more surprised, nodded and said, "Miss Yunzhi, please don't worry, I won't tell the princess."

With Shen Zhezi's promise, Yunzhi explained the reason of the incident.It turned out that wives from various families in Yixing came to see the princess yesterday. It was just a polite response, and there was no twists and turns. It was just that when they were talking about interesting things in Wuzhong, one of the wives mentioned a nursery rhyme about Shen Zhezi that Wu Xing had passed down.

"At that time, the princess's demeanor was not abnormal, but she asked people about it again after the night, and she became annoyed at noon today. As for whether it is because of this, the servant girl is just guessing and dare not make arbitrarily judged." Na Yunzhi whispered again Said: "Lord Lang, don't say that it's the servant girl who talks too much, otherwise the princess will definitely not allow the servant girl to accompany her around."

Shen Zhezi couldn't help being dumbfounded after hearing the words, could it be that the little girl is jealous because of this?This made him feel a little strange, and he didn't know how to feel.

He boarded the car, and just crossed the green gauze screen to poke his head in, when he saw something thrown towards him, he quickly blocked it with his hand, only to find that it was a powder box, and the princess was sitting in the car, her cheeks were so angry puffed up.

"Get down, don't get in my car!"

Seeing Shen Zhezi, the princess's pretty face flushed slightly, her eyes widened, and she was already weeping.

Shen Zhezi picked up the powder box and put it on the table. The princess gave him a look, but turned her body in another direction, obviously angry at Shen Zhezi.

"The journey is exhausting, if the princess does not eat, how can the body bear it?"

"I don't want to talk to you!"

The princess snorted angrily, and then added: "I thought about it in the morning, but you didn't come to see me, now I don't want to!"

Shen Zhezi sighed in his heart, the joy of marrying a little jealous woman is really beyond human understanding.He sat in the carriage, but the princess snorted coldly, and moved inside again, leaning against the green gauze screen, not wanting to sit too close to Shen Zhezi.

"It's my fault for not coming to see the princess in the morning. Didn't the princess say that she wanted to drink water chestnut porridge at lunch the day before yesterday? In the evening, you can drink it."

This little girl left home at a young age, everything she saw was unfamiliar, and she was stuck in the car all the time, so it was inevitable that she would use Shen Zhezi as the only channel to communicate with the outside world. She became more and more dependent in her heart, and became more sensitive, sometimes happy and sometimes worrying.

Hearing what Shen Zhezi said, she showed suspicion on her face: "Really?"

Shen Zhezi nodded with a serious look on his face, but in fact there were too many things to do in the morning, and he forgot to come to see the princess, so it was naturally difficult to tell the truth now.

"I just said it casually, and I don't have to drink porridge."

The princess turned pale, then grabbed the powder box and stuffed it into her sleeve, and said to him from left to right: "How long will it take us to reach Wuxing?"

"Hurry up, if you don't delay, you can reach Wuxing in two days. When you arrive at Wuxing, you can travel by boat, and you will arrive at my home Wukang in less than a day."

After dealing with this section, Shen Zhezi said with a smile again: "If the meal is not to your appetite, the princess will wait for a while, and I will send someone to prepare water chestnut porridge. The journey is hard work, and the diet is even more suitable. The princess recently Compared with the time in the capital, it has been slightly reduced."

Princess Xingnan's mood had already improved, but after hearing this, her face darkened again: "I have always looked like this, I'm afraid you're thinking of your lady Wu Xing Baifu because you're so close to your hometown, everyone is different. !"

"The sky is sunny, the grass is growing and the warblers are flying, and the scenery is fascinating. We face each other day and night, and we only allow one person to live forever. Princess, why bother me!"

Shen Zhezi sighed, expressing emotion.

When the princess heard this, the corners of her mouth trembled, and then she put on a straight face: "People say that your family is rich and rich, with many houses and manors, who wants to live in your heart!"
