Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 22 Entering the Northwest

Shuqin glanced at Qin Zhao: "Where is the kitchen?"

Qin Zhao pointed to the right: "Go straight, then turn right."

She once wondered if Qin Zhao could only speak these simple words.

After entering the kitchen, Shuqin found what she wanted, and directed Qin Zhao: "Light the fire."

Qin Zhao didn't move: "I'm only responsible for protecting you."

Shuqin wanted to smash the thing in his hand on his head angrily.

This person is a face melon, a big face melon!
But in the end, Shuqin still boiled ginger soup for him by himself.

If she really wanted to drag him down for her own sake and make the road to the northwest unsafe, then she would really be a sinner through the ages.

Handing him the boiled ginger soup, Shuqin even added some spicy in it, because this ginger soup was originally a bit spicy, but now the taste of this ginger soup...you can imagine.

Qin Zhao was a little surprised: "This..."

At first he thought it was just that Shuqin was hungry, so he came to the kitchen to find something to eat, but he didn't expect her to...

Shuqin said angrily: "Here, don't catch the wind and cold the next day and infect me and the princess."

Qin Zhao hesitated for a moment, but finally drank the bowl of ginger soup.

It's just that the taste... is really hard to describe.

While he was drinking ginger soup, Shuqin got him some hot water: "Okay, go take a bath, the prince's people are all around here, I'm safe without you protecting me."

After tossing around for most of the night, Shuqin was really sleepy.

Qin Zhao still hesitated.

But Shuqin was getting impatient: "Big Miangua, why don't you take a bath soon? The water will be cold again later."

After speaking, Shuqin yawned.

She was really sleepy, and then she went back to the carriage in front of Qin Zhao, covered herself with a thick quilt and fell asleep again.

In the middle of the night, the rain was much lighter. Qin Zhao had already changed into clean clothes and put on a coir raincoat. He was still sitting in his original position, but it was much warmer than before.

The next day, Shen Xi was called up by Xiao Che when it was only dawn, and she opened her eyes in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Che paused, and said: "It's getting late, I have to get up and hurry."

They were really in a hurry to leave, even the breakfast was served in the carriage, Shen Xi also knew that this kind of thing could not be delayed, so she was very obedient and did not complain a word.

Xiao Che had already dressed and even tied up his hair. He handed Shen Xi's clothes to her: "Hurry up and wash, I'm going out first."

For some reason, Shen Xi felt strange, when did he get up?She didn't feel anything at all.

There was a basin of water in the room, Shen Xi went over to test the temperature of the water with his hands, it was still hot.

After washing and washing at the speed of his life, when he went downstairs, he saw that the soldiers were all ready to go.

Seeing Shen Xi, Shuqin quickly stepped forward: "Ma'am, let's go to the car for dinner."

Shen Xi nodded.

"Have you all eaten?"

Her breakfast was placed on the table in the carriage. It was a bowl of warm meat porridge, accompanied by some appetizers. The porridge was moderately salty and tasted pretty good. Shen Xi used two bowls in a row.

Shuqin nodded: "Everyone got up early in the morning, the prince said you were tired, so he didn't wake you up, and said that you can have breakfast on the road."

Shen Xi blushed.

Now she seemed to have some impressions. She seemed to be pushed and pushed a few times when she was in a daze in the morning, and then someone was talking in her ears. She just wanted to sleep, so she turned around and ignored him.

Now that I think about it, I guess it was Xiao Che who was talking to her.

So what stupid thing had she done this morning?

Shen Xi felt that she had lost all her face in this life.

At about noon, Shen Xi felt the carriage stop and thought that it was time for lunch. Sure enough, a person dressed as a guard soon brought some food up.

Looking at these things, Shuqin couldn't help but said, "Ma'am, we haven't entered the northwest yet."

How did Shen Xi not know?

"The farther we go to the northwest, the less food we have. Naturally, we have to save as much as we can." Shen Xi took the initiative to pick up a dry cake and stuffed it into his mouth: "This is not the capital city, so it would be nice if we could eat some."

If she was in the past, she definitely couldn't eat these things, just a piece of cake and some water, how could she accept this when she was used to living a pampered life?
It's just that those days in the palace have severely polished her habits. You know, it was a great blessing for her to be able to eat some clean food at that time.

Eat, but to live.

Seeing that her mother didn't complain a word, Shuqin was also a little ashamed, so she didn't say anything, picked up the cake and water and started eating.

The only surprise in this cake should be that there is some meat in it, and it is not so unpalatable to eat.

Shuqin lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, only to see that the escorting soldiers were all sitting on the ground, eating the same food as them.

It's just that they don't chew and eat slowly like them, but eat it quickly. This disaster relief is the same as marching and fighting, and there is no delay.

Xiao Che felt a little comfortable when he heard the conversation in the car.

It didn't occur to Shen Xi, who is usually delicate and weak, to be able to eat these things.

Xiao Che has always been like this in the army, he eats whatever the soldiers eat, he never makes a superior posture, plus he acts decisively and resolutely, no one in the army disapproves of him.

After resting for about half an hour, everyone was about to get up and hurry again.

Shen Xi didn't dare to sleep anymore this time, for fear that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep again at night, so she tried her best all afternoon, either embroidering things, or reading scripts, seeing her yawning from time to time, even reading the piano I couldn't help but said: "Ma'am, don't you want to sleep for a while?"

Shen Xi shook her head: "If you're sleepy, you can sleep."

Shuqin also shook her head: "Slaves are not sleepy."

Shen Xi didn't sleep, how could Shuqin dare to sleep?
On the way they came, Mrs. Zhao prepared a lot of snacks for them, Shuqin turned them out, and Shen Xi ate six or seven plums before stopping.

Although there has been no rain in the northwest for two years, it is closer to the frontier fortress, and the frontier fortress has abundant rain, which can quench your thirst for a while, but it is still not enough if there is no rain for many years.

I don't know how my brother is doing now.

Shen Xi was a little worried.

Xiao Che's marching speed was very fast, they had already left the boundary of the capital yesterday, if they followed this speed, they would be able to reach the northwest in about half a month.

Thinking of the elder brother whom he hadn't seen for several years, Shen Xi felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

Shen Li doted on her since she was a child. When she was young, her handwriting was like a dog crawling. She was always punished by Shen Changming. She was asked to write hundreds of large characters every day. Shen Xi was young at that time, and it was easy to grasp. He couldn't stop writing, and his writing hands were always red and swollen in the end. Seeing that his sister was suffering, Shen Li quietly imitated her handwriting and helped her write a lot of big characters, but in the end Shen Changming found out, and he was still punished for this. Had a good meal of the whip.
