Sunny Vientiane

Song Tingchuan changed from his usual rambling, the whole night was silent, but Xin Yueming got a good night's sleep.When he woke up, Su Jinchao was already dressed and ready to go to the morning court. A group of servants were coming and going with plates. The royal cooks were not the best in the world, but they were definitely the best in craftsmanship. De Xin Yueming almost couldn't control his saliva.

"Want to eat?" Song Tingchuan looked at the feast below with great displeasure, and hummed, "I'll take you to the imperial dining room later."

In fact, Xin Yueming really wanted to remind Song Tingchuan that if he went to the imperial dining room later, he might encounter Su Jinchao's leftovers, and it would be too late to go now.

Probably he had thought of this too, Song Tingchuan glanced coldly and enviously at Su Jinchao, who was drinking porridge elegantly, and said, "I'll go out of the city to Zhaxing Pavilion for breakfast later."

Xin Yueming felt bitter in his heart. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to go out of the city in the morning to find Xiaohan. After such a whole night, he didn't know what Xiaohan would think if there was any news for Xiaohan. The news of Moyan's accident is not surprising.

Song Zongzhu came out suddenly, they estimated that they would not be able to leave the city until noon, what if Xiaohan was thinking wildly?Thinking of this, Xin Yueming himself didn't even realize that his disposition, which had been cultivated to be indifferent to any situation, turned back to the frizzy and frizzy boyhood when he encountered something about Jiang Shuihan.

"Let's go."

Song Tingchuan has been paying attention to the movement of Su Jinchao below. Seeing Su Jinchao leaving with a mighty team of attendants, he jumped down from the beam lightly and skillfully.Xin Yueming was provoked by the movement and subconsciously withdrew her attention, but it took a while to react to Song Tingchuan's puzzled eyes, and landed gently on the ground.

"Mu Xi?" Song Tingchuan turned around and asked in surprise as soon as Xin Yueming landed, "Why are you here?"

He was too familiar with Mu Xi's breath, he could feel it when Mu Xi was close to him, but he thought that Mu Xi would be imprisoned by Su Jinchen for a long time, but he didn't expect that Mu Xi could walk around the palace at will at this time.

"Xiao Yuqing really thinks that he can leave without disturbing anyone?" Mu Xi sneered, and looked at Song Tingchuan coldly, "Master Suzerain needs someone to help clean up every time."

If she hadn't helped cover up Xiao Yuqing's whereabouts, Su Jinchen would have found out that these two people were hiding on the beam and eavesdropping, how could they sleep on the beam for a night in peace.Although someone had already exposed their whereabouts to the emperor, otherwise, she would not have appeared here early in the morning.

Song Tingchuan also knew that Xiao Yuqing's move would alarm Su Jinchen, so he didn't feel ashamed to be told so bluntly by Mu Xi, and said embarrassingly, "His Royal Highness's methods are clean and neat, so naturally she won't worry me."

This sentence did not surprise Mu Xi's glaring eyes, Xin Yueming couldn't help but burst out laughing, and explained, "Thank you for your help, otherwise the suzerain couldn't guarantee the quality of sleep last night."

"You don't need to say more."

Even though he said that, Mu Xi's complexion improved a lot, and he was about to ask Xin Yueming a few more words, but was interrupted by Song Tingchuan, who had a face as big as a basin, "It's just right, Mu Xi, take us to the Star Picking Pavilion. "

Song Tingchuan's tone was dignified, and Mu Xi thought Song Tingchuan had something important to do, so his face became tense, and he asked casually, "Why, are you going to meet someone in the Star Picking Pavilion?"

Song Tingchuan looked at Mu Xi very strangely, and said as a matter of course, "Who can see? We want to have breakfast."

Suddenly, the expression on Mu Xi's face collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing that he was about to suffer disaster and might not be able to leave the imperial city for a whole day today, Xin Yueming quickly interjected, "Ze Moyan had an accident, Xiao Yuqing took the first step, but We can't fall behind." The rest of the meaning, of course, is that if you don't leave, you can only spend it here.

After being reminded by Xin Yueming, Song Tingchuan's gloom in the morning dissipated a little, and he immediately recalled that if he wanted to go out of the city, the princess in front of him could really play a big role.

"Oh, yes." Song Tingchuan glanced at Xin Yueming by the way, his eyes were clearly full of teasing, you kid is good at talking nonsense now.

Mu Xi, who was walking in front, changed his eyes and didn't know what to think of. After his face returned to normal, he said, "Follow me."

Song Tingchuan, who was about to take a step, took a few steps behind deliberately, walked with Xin Yueming, and whispered, "Be careful when you go out."

Xin Yueming frowned slightly, nodded in response, "En."

I wanted to say more and make more mistakes, but it is better to be careful, but I couldn't help but look at Mu Xi's back facing the sun outside the door. He was clearly facing the light, but his back was covered with a layer of haze, like the mud at the bottom of a lotus pond , I can't get rid of it no matter what.Once this feeling was born, Xin Yueming felt an indescribable depression in his heart, and he didn't know where it came from. But thinking about himself, he suddenly had no reason to be depressed.

How can he force others to do what he can't do himself?

"Go out from here, and then walk south along the street, you will find the Zhaixing Pavilion."

Mu Xi brought the two of them to a remote palace gate, pointed to the south, and then turned around as if preparing to return along the original road.

"Are you going back?" Song Tingchuan asked.

Passing through several palace gates along the way, the maids and guards he met did not show any surprise to them. Song Tingchuan had long thought that besides the emperor, who else could make them feel like no one in the palace.It's just that he didn't expect that Su Jinchao would let Mu Xi let them go behind Su Jinchen's back.

Mu Xi turned her face sideways, and Zhaoxia drew a golden border on the tip of her nose, half of her side face was as smooth as a jade carving.Obviously it was Song Tingchuan who asked, but she replied to Xin Yueming, "Be careful when you leave the city. King Qi has set up a defensive formation at the gate of the city, and it is estimated that it will be dismantled at noon."

After finishing speaking, Song Tingchuan smiled and said, "If he does this, he is not afraid that Su Jinchen will settle accounts with him."

"At this time, he doesn't care about you either." Mu Xi turned around and said, "I hope we won't see each other again in the future."

Mu Xi's abnormality was so obvious that Song Tingchuan couldn't ignore it. He couldn't help but wondered, "You are the only princess who was proclaimed by the emperor. Why do you seem to be beheaded today?"

Only Song Tingchuan could say such unrestrained words. Xin Yueming could see clearly the trembling eyebrows in the armor of the goalkeeper, and quickly hummed to remind him not to talk nonsense.

"Forcing me to go to the Western Regions to get married, what's the difference from beheading?"

As soon as Mu Xi's trembling words came out, Xin Yueming subconsciously looked at Song Tingchuan. When she saw that Song Tingchuan's eyes were still calm and calm, the little worry in her heart disappeared instantly.No one in this world can persecute Mu Xi, whether it is the emperor or His Royal Highness King Qi, only she thinks.

Song Tingchuan's expression remained unchanged and he said, "Really? Congratulations, you're finally married."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the palace gate, but realized that Xin Yueming had only taken a few steps behind him and then stayed where he was. It was getting late, so he turned impatiently and said, "I really didn't realize that you recently I have completely learned the pretentiousness of those sour literati."

Having said that, facing the scene in front of him, Song Tingchuan finally noticed something was wrong.

"you."

Under the morning sun, transparent teardrops, like clear crystals, slowly dripped down on the straight stone slabs. Which one is not the best in the imperial city?But in the blink of an eye, the water drop was nowhere to be found, without a trace.

Mu Xi raised her head slightly and said softly, "Don't believe it? I didn't believe it at first either."

"It's King Qi?" Xin Yueming guessed, "The border is unstable again?"

"It's not him." Song Tingchuan directly vetoed, "Although Su Jinchen is sometimes unreasonable, he will never force her to do what she doesn't want to do." What's more, there is Princess Qi who has protected her since childhood.

Without thinking, Song Tingchuan immediately understood what Mu Xi was thinking, and the smile on his lips gradually became bitter, "Mu Xi, no matter who forced you this time or why, since King Qi and the Emperor didn't veto it, then you can only marry. This is your duty as a princess."

After all, he turned around and took Xin Yueming to the outside, he knew that Mu Xi would not lead them to avoid Su Jinchen's eyeliner for no reason, but he didn't expect Mu Xi to be so courageous that he wanted to escape marriage with them.It might have been just an ordinary chase, plus a concubine princess. It is estimated that they have not yet arrived in Jiannan Road, and they don't know how many more holes will appear on their bodies.

"Song Tingchuan!" Mu Xi's tone was a bit serious, and he took a few steps forward, but he didn't dare to really follow the two of them, and he didn't dare to let the gatekeeper hear their conversation, and said softly, "You said, you will agree I have one request."

Song Tingchuan stopped impatiently, turned his face to the side and said, "I also said that not being able is something I can't do."

"I just asked you to take me out of the city gate." Mu Xi frowned, "It's easy for you."

"But you are the princess of marriage now." Song Tingchuan's aura instantly became fierce, forcing Mu Xi not to look directly at him, "I'm just a commoner, even if I call the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes, I can't destroy the marriage and the queen can retreat completely. .”

Mu Xi whispered, "Then I insist on following you?"

Her delicate voice sounded like a little girl, which made Song Tingchuan choke in his throat and couldn't utter it. After calming down his breathing, he reluctantly said, "Then don't blame me for being rude."

Mu Xi, who seemed to have to hear Song Tingchuan's cold and unrecognizable words in order to recognize the reality, finally lost his previous proud appearance and sighed deeply, "I know."

She took a few steps back, distanced herself from Song Tingchuan, and continued, "This time, not only the royal family from the Western Regions, but also people from Beimo."

Song Tingchuan and Xin Yueming really didn't pay attention to this kind of news, and they couldn't get in the conversation, so they could only stand aside and act as stakes.

"Grandfather is getting old, and there are not many generals left in the court. Although there are still a few who can be trained, the situation can't wait at all." Mu Xi's eyes were full of tears, and he looked up at Song Tingchuan. It is full of prayers, "Marriage can only be stable for a while, but it is not forever! Protecting your family and defending the country is obviously what you men should do, why do you rely on me as a woman?!"

Xin Yueming was speechless, he was not a general, nor was he a selfless person. Although the Wuwei Sect had done business with the Western Regions, it was relatively able to check and balance, but Beimo was different. Take a bite out of you, and few people are willing to do this kind of business that doesn't make money.Not to mention, several years of wandering has made him lose the ignorant and fearless kindness of the past, and now he only wants the big brother, Xiaohan and Qianqian to live well, so that's fine.

Facing the fragile Muxi who could be blown away by a gust of wind, Song Tingchuan remained silent. After a while, he closed his eyes and said, "Your name is Su Junxi."

The girl's frail body shook suddenly, but she seemed to be nailed in place, motionless. Looking back at her for the last time, Song Tingchuan waved her hand as if saying goodbye, and walked out of the city.The general at the gate of the city didn't look sideways, and just let Song Tingchuan and Xin Yueming go out.

The morning sun has completely risen, hanging slantingly on the horizon, and the early morning has passed most of the time, Su Jinchao lightly moved his sore shoulders, and raised his eyes to signal to the servant beside him.Even though he was newly appointed, the little servant could be regarded as winking, he took a step forward consciously, and said the word retreat, the courtiers bowed respectfully to send Su Jinchao away, and then they exited the hall one by one .

The collapse of Zemoyan was naturally the most urgent matter. Even though the deployment had already been completed, most of the morning officials were talking about it, and the other half of the time was discussing the marriage of Princess Huguo.

Su Jinchen got rid of many courtiers, took a moment to go to the back of the hall to find the emperor, but was stopped by Yang Yinqing in the corner, and instantly attracted a lot of attention.

"What's the matter with the right minister?"

If there were not many courtiers at this moment, he would have ignored his identity and kicked the other party out of the hall, but unfortunately, he is now a prince and must protect the royal family's face.For example, now, he has to face the most annoying person in front of him with a gentle smile on his face.

Yang Yinqing put away the fake smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "My lord, it seems that the matter of Zemoyan is not that simple."

It seems that Yang Yinqing found something, otherwise he would not have postponed the departure time for this.Thinking of the importance of the matter, Su Jinchen had to pay attention to it.

"Any new discoveries?"

"A lot of people in the lower reaches of Zemoyan have inexplicably made a fortune in the past few years. I sent people to investigate, and they probably found gold and other treasures from the river, and there are also a lot of porcelain."

Reminiscent of the rumors of all kinds of things, Su Jinchen immediately reacted, pursed her lips and said, "You mean."

Yang Yinqing smiled wryly, and said, "Maybe, I have to invite the prince to lead the troops to go together."

No longer caring about the left minister's opinion, Su Jinchen and Yang Yinqing entered the Zichen Palace together. After Yang Yinqing explained the specific situation, Su Jinchen expressed to Su Jinchao that he wanted to lead troops there together, but unexpectedly, the last thing he should do was Su Jinchao, who opposed it, dismissed his idea.

"The marriage with Beimo is imminent, and General Yue is leaving Beijing ahead of schedule for southern Xinjiang. You can't let your father-in-law come to hold the line."

"But Lin Zhicheng." Su Jinchen said with a frown, "If he really has that kind of thought, I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress Yang Xiang wearing the imperial envoy's hat."

Su Jinchao smiled lightly, shook her hand, and said, "No, this time I not only conferred on Yang Aiqing the hat of an imperial envoy, but also a tiger talisman."

Hearing this, Su Jinchen hurriedly said, "Brother Huang."

Su Jinchao reached out her hand to stop him, "I've already made a decision." Then, she said to Yang Yinqing who was silent at the side, "Aiqing, come forward to accept the order."

Yang Yinqing stretched out his tortoise-like head, which had shrunk for a long time, accepted the order helplessly, stood up and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, you have broken my humble minister."

Su Jinchao smiled brightly, "How can you be called Zhesha? Aiqing, I like you."

When Yang Yinqing left, Su Jinchen said anxiously, "Brother Emperor, that tiger talisman can mobilize the entire southern army, how could you give it to Yang Yinqing so easily."

"Do you not trust my judgment, or his ability?" Su Jinchao smiled happily, "He knows what to do, so you don't have to worry."

"Lin Zhicheng is from the martial arts world, and Yang Xiang is just a frail scholar, how can he beat him?"

Su Jinchao's smile was full of teasing, "Since when did you have such a good relationship with Master Yang?"

Su Jinchen had no choice but to use this kind of joke to answer his questions on purpose every time.

As if laughing enough, Su Jinchao said mysteriously, "Lao Qi, don't worry, there will be no problem with Yang Aiqing going to the south."

Saying that, Su Jinchao's eyes dimmed a lot, "I left you in Yanjing to look after Xiaoxi."

Su Jinchen didn't know what to say for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."

The author has something to say:

In fact, Mu Xi also knew and understood her responsibility, so she was struggling and hesitating all the time, deliberately not wanting to leave, deliberately letting Song Tingchuan and Xin Yueming know that they were all hesitating, but in the end she gave up.

Originally, I really wanted to make Muxi and Qianqian a pair, but after thinking about it, I still can't, Qianqian is too straight.And I prefer natural feelings. If I really want to make them a pair, the current friendship between the two is still too shallow and too rigid. In other words, I still don’t believe in the power of love at first sight. It makes people desperate.
