The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 68 You are the heroine, you are amazing

Xiao Baojing thought about it and answered honestly: "I don't know either."

The girl's wedding dress was suddenly blown by the wind.

The hem of her skirt and her wide sleeves folded like lush blooming petals, gently brushing the back of Shang Bingjiu's hand.

He held her bright red sleeves and praised: "The little princess looks so beautiful in her wedding dress!"

"I didn't think it was beautiful this morning, and I even disliked it for being cumbersome and troublesome, but now that you've praised me like that, I suddenly think it's very beautiful!" Xiao Baojing happily turned around and showed him his wooden face again, with a distressed tone, "But my face has become like this, it's so ugly! What if I can't change it back!"

Shang Bingjiu smiled with his fox eyes curved: "But I think it's very interesting. Can I write on it?"

"Can't!"

"What about painting?"

Xiao Baojing said coquettishly: "No! You are so annoying!"

Shang Bingjiu imitated her tone: "You are so annoying!"

Xiao Baojing put his hands on his hips in shame and anger, and his voice was soft and sticky when he cursed: "Hate it, you are not allowed to imitate me!"

As she cursed, her wooden face said, "How shameful! Why does this person always imitate me? It makes me blush."

Shang Bingjiu looked at the words on her face, his fox eyes curved like a crescent moon: "Hateful, you are not allowed to imitate me!"

Xiao Baojing was so angry that he lowered his head and hit him: "You are annoying, you are annoying, you are annoying!"

The words on her face changed to "I can't let him see me blushing, otherwise I will be so embarrassed! But when I see him, I am so happy! I want to keep looking at him!"

Zhu's mother looked at them quietly.

After looking at it for an unknown amount of time, she suddenly smiled with relief.

She looked into the distance.

The peach trees in the forest are full of peaches. They are still green in midsummer, with only a little red on the tips, like the red face of a little girl who wants to say something but is shy.

Butterflies fluttered across the mountains and rivers.

Butterfly Inn.

The red lanterns hanging under the window cast a warm light in the summer night.

Xiao Baojing dozed off and when he woke up he found her still leaning against the window with her face in her hands.

She lowered her eyes and saw a butterfly resting on the tip of her nose.

"I had a very long dream."

The next day.

Xiao Baojing and Shang Bingjiu were about to leave the inn when they were stopped by a little girl.

The little girl handed the bamboo basket to Xiao Baojing and said in a childish voice, "My grandmother picked these peaches and asked me to give them to my sister!"

The first peaches to ripen this summer are plump and bright red, making people drool just by looking at them.

Xiao Baojing was surprised: "We can eat peaches when we stay at the inn? Thank you!"

She was about to continue on her journey with Shang Bingjiu when she suddenly looked towards the backyard of the inn as if possessed by a ghost.

The silver-haired old man with a cane stood quietly at the threshold of the backyard, looking at her with a kind and gentle face.

A guest nearby whispered, "I heard that when Miss Zhu married into her husband's family, she couldn't give birth to a boy. According to their local custom, she was beaten with a bamboo stick below her waist. The harder she was beaten, the more likely she would get rid of her daughter and get a fat boy. As a result, the villagers lost their sense of proportion and beat her to death! Madam Zhu has been ill ever since. She has been bedridden for so many years, but I didn't expect that she would be able to recover today."

"Oh! I heard that Miss Zhu didn't want to get married, but was forced into the bridal sedan by Master Zhu and Madam Zhu, who said that there was no reason for a young lady not to get married. How could Madam Zhu not be sad to see her daughter go to a place where people are eaten? As soon as Miss Zhu died, Master Zhu stabbed to death the men who participated in the wedding, and then he died in apology. Fortunately, Madam Zhu still had her granddaughter to accompany her, so she was not lonely."

Shang Bingjiu walked outside.

The summer sun made him squint his fox eyes: "Are you going to leave or not?"

Xiao Baojing tightly grasped the bamboo basket filled with peaches and said in a crisp voice, "Here they come!"

The two men passed through Die Manor and saw the guards they met on the mountain road yesterday evening.

They took the wrong road last night and only found their way here this morning, where they were scolded by Xiao Nanjia.

The commander of the imperial guards squeaked out, "Fourth Prince, this kid deliberately pointed us in the wrong direction!"

"No rudeness."

A clear voice suddenly came from Xiao Nanjia's shadow. Lu Yu'an slowly walked out of Xiao Nanjia's shadow.

Xiao Baojing opened his eyes wide in surprise.

It turns out that he and Xiao Nanjia are really inseparable!

Lu Yu'an bowed to Xiao Baojing and Shang Bingjiu and said, "My prince came to Jiange to mine jade stones for the decoration of the Longevity Platform under the order of the Emperor. He entered the dream of Diezhuang by mistake last night. Thank you for saving him."

Shang Bingjiu has always ignored the secular etiquette of greeting.

He put his hands in his pockets and stared intently at the peaches in Xiao Baojing's bamboo basket.

Xiao Baojing waved his hands: "It's all the peddler's credit. I didn't help much... By the way, Mr. Lu, do you want to eat some peaches?"

She enthusiastically handed Lu Yu'an a peach, then remembered something and lowered her head to take out the bones and coffin board of Princess Wumian from her bag.

She relayed the affairs of Xiangshui County to Xiao Nanjia and Lu Yu'an, and asked them to bring Princess Wumian back to Yejing and bury her in the imperial mausoleum.

After the handover was completed, Xiao Nanjia got on his horse and said, "Let's go."

Lu Yu'an nodded to Xiao Baojing and said gently, "We'll meet again in the future."

The group of people left in a cloud of dust.

Xiao Baojing was completely disappointed.

Xiao Baojing gnashed his teeth, quickly chased after him and shouted, "Is it a big deal to ride fast on a horse?!"

Xiao Nanjia looked back coldly.

The girl on horseback had a face as beautiful as jade. The too narrow distance between her eyebrows made her look cold and aggressive. The halberd in her hand seemed ready to pierce a hole in Xiao Baojing at any time.

Xiao Baojing shrank his neck timidly: "Okay, you're the heroine, so you're amazing..."

When I came to my senses, I found that the peddler had swallowed several peaches in the basket.

She let out a sharp cry: "You can't eat the core! What if it takes root and sprouts in your stomach!"

Shang Bingjiu grabbed Tao'er, his eyes curved like a fox: "You are deceiving children."

...

The sound of the bell rang through the Jiange Pavilion, which was full of strange and dangerous scenery.

In midsummer, the rice in the plains near Yejing is ripe, and the whole place is golden.

"What a bright sun."

Xiao Baojing lay on the edge of the box, took out a small handkerchief from the persimmon bag, and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

Shang Bingjiu placed his load under a big pine tree.

Xiao Baojing handed him a small handkerchief: "Wipe it."

Shang Bingjiu leaned over and smiled, "Little Princess, wipe my sweat."

It's obviously a normal tone.

Xiao Baojing blushed inexplicably, biting his lip to wipe the sweat off his face, and said softly: "Can't you wipe it yourself? You still need me to do such a trivial thing..."

"I like the little princess to wipe my sweat off my face."

Xiao Baojing's eyes turned red with shame, and his round almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright.

Several farmers wearing straw hats and holding sickles hurried by: "I heard that there will be heavy rain tomorrow, and it will rain for three or four days! We have to harvest the rice before it rains!"

"Poor Grandma Zhao, when she was young, she had a stupid brother who was a burden and she never got married. Now her brother is dead and she has no relatives. Her adopted granddaughter went to work in Yejing and never came back. There is no one around to help harvest the rice! How can she harvest all the more than ten acres of land?"

"Let's cut faster and see if we can help her then!"

"..."

They walked away talking.

Xiao Baojing put away his handkerchief, held his face in his hands and leaned over the edge of the box, curiously looking at the golden rice fields: "Peddler, why do you have to harvest the rice before the rainstorm? Can't you wait until the rain stops?"

The little girl was absorbed in reading and Kunqu opera all day long and had no real knowledge of crops.
