The general said she doesn't take a wife
Chapter 145
Bei Chenling was waiting for news from the guards in the tent. No matter whether she could find a new mattress or not, the night would pass. She had prepared for the worst, and she would just sit there all night with her eyes wide open. .
The firewood in the brazier was crackling, Bei Chenling suddenly shuddered, her throat was a little itchy, and she couldn't help coughing twice as soon as she was smoked by the hot air in the brazier.
She felt that she had caught a cold, probably because of the autumn rain and cold wind blowing on the road before returning today.
"Ms. Ling is suffering from the cold?"
The sound of Bei Chenling's coughing was heard by the people who had just walked outside the tent. The guards saw Queen Boka coming and greeted them one after another. They wanted to tell Bei Chenling, but Zheji had already called the people in the tent. Then let this matter go.
The door curtain was lifted from the outside, and Zhe Ji was wearing a leather robe at the door, shaking the water off her clothes, before stepping in, without any intention of asking Bei Chenling for permission.
Bei Chenling has gradually gotten used to Zhe Ji's familiar behavior, and she is not in the mood to argue with Zhe Ji now. She sits by the basin and warms herself up by the fire. Zheji's question just now:
"I think it's a bit cold, but it shouldn't be a problem."
When Zhe Ji walked into the tent, she saw the mattress on the wooden frame at a glance. She reached out to touch it without seeing it, and it was really soaked, so she clicked her mouth immediately:
"In the afternoon, Lady Ling sent someone to bring ginger soup to the king, but the king has not yet thanked Lady Ling."
Bei Chenling lowered her eyes, not paying attention:
"Your Majesty also helped me today, a bowl of ginger soup is nothing more than worth mentioning."
Zhe Ji withdrew her hands from the mattress, walked around the small space in the tent twice, and said:
"The person who went out to look for bedding hasn't come back for so long, so there must be no more bedding here at the station. What is Lady Ling planning tonight?"
Bei Chenling frowned, feeling that Zheji was asking too much, but she didn't show any signs of impatience, and just said:
"I have no plans, I want to say that it is difficult to find things at night, and I will make arrangements after dawn."
"Wouldn't it be that tonight we have to watch by the brazier all night?"
Zhe Ji was a little surprised.
Bei Chenling didn't make a sound.
Zhe Ji looked at her, the surprise in her eyes gradually turned into amused, and then she laughed.
Bei Chenling was a little annoyed again, the Queen of the Grassland really had a bad temper, and Zhe Ji seemed to come to see her for a joke.
"Oh, Miss Ling, you were still coughing just now, if you stay up all night tonight, even if the rain stops tomorrow, you won't be able to go back!"
If she falls ill, someone will have to be sent to carry her back.
Bei Chenling's face was dark, but she who was always eloquent had no words to refute.
However, she didn't want to do that either.
Whether it's raining or water leaking from the tent, this is not what she wants to happen, but there are unpredictable things and people have misfortunes and blessings, and things are already like this. Before the rain stops, there is nothing else to do but to wait quietly. way?
Maybe it was because seeing Bei Chenling's face darkened, Zheji's laughter suddenly died down, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and seeing Bei Chenling glanced at her coldly, she stopped accompanying her, and simply walked back to sit by the brazier .
Yo, this lady officer is still a bit tempered.
Zhe Ji didn't mind either, she walked to the opposite side of the brazier in two steps, squatted down carelessly, looked at Bei Chen and smiled:
"Hey, Miss Ling, why don't you go to my king's place, my king's mattress is spacious enough for two people to lie on!"
Bei Chenling was stunned by Zhe Ji's words, she stared, stood up and shouted:
"Frivolous! I didn't expect you to be such a person. Fortunately, you are still the king of a country! You actually said such inappropriate words! Please get out immediately!"
After she finished speaking, she remembered that there was a gown that Zhe Ji gave her to protect her from the rain on the wooden shelf. She walked over in two steps, took off the robe, threw it at Zhe Ji, and drank again:
"go out!"
Zhe Ji was dumbfounded, she didn't understand why Bei Chenling suddenly became so angry.
Holding the fur cloak she handed over to Bei Chenling this afternoon, she stared blankly at Bei Chenling's flushed cheeks, not understanding what was going on for a while:
"Hey, no, why is this king so frivolous? Why is it not suitable for etiquette?"
If she insists on saying yes, it's just that she is indifferent to dignity, and she doesn't mind inviting a female official to share the bed with her as a queen, but Bei Chenling said such a thing.
She came here with good intentions to give Bei Chenling advice, and she was even willing to give up half of her own bed to Bei Chenling. With such kindness, Beichenling didn't appreciate it, and even said that she was frivolous, and even drove her away. .
For the first time, she felt that she might not have learned Ningguo dialect well.
Fortunately, she used to think that she had learned well, but now, she didn't even understand what she said wrong just now.
Faced with Zhe Ji's brazen rhetorical question, Bei Chenling's breathing became short of breath, and her eyes widened. This person is really a rascal, who knows what to ask and has no shame in asking!
For a moment, the two stared at each other, neither of them would back down.
Zhe Ji firmly believed that she was right, so she didn't hold back her momentum, and fell into an extremely long silence in the camp.
"Hey! Okay, okay, it's my king who said something wrong, and I don't know what to say. Forget it, since Lady Ling doesn't appreciate it, I'm going back."
In the end, Zheji was the first to let go, she got up and hung the fur cloak in her hand back on the wooden stand:
"The cloak is almost dry, you can cover it with this at night, it should be better."
After finishing speaking, she walked towards the curtain of the tent in two steps, ready to lift the curtain and go out.
Bei Chenling calmed down for a while. She watched Zhe Ji walk out of the tent, and then glanced at the fur cloak Zhe Ji left behind. She hesitated in her heart, wondering if she had really made a mistake.
She recalled what Zhe Ji said just now, and it seemed that she didn't intend to take advantage of others' danger.
Zhe Ji had just taken two steps outside when Bei Chenling's voice came from behind:
"You wait."
Zhe Ji stopped in doubt, and there was a little sullen look in her eyes.
Her temper is not bad, but not everyone can pluck her hair. Bei Chenling rejected her kindness several times, she didn't take it seriously, but Bei Chenling said she was frivolous, which made her very unhappy.
She suppressed her anger and managed not to get angry on the spot. After all, Bei Chenling was still the envoy of Ning Kingdom. They had just signed the contract today, and they had a quarrel with Bei Chenling, which would hurt the harmony between the two countries.
Bei Chenling has always been good at observing words and demeanor, but because of the prejudice against Zhe Ji when they first met, she always felt that Zhe Ji was a bit of an idiot and looked very dandy, so she always misunderstood Zhe Ji's kindness.
Now Zhe Ji was angry, and there were two balls of burning anger hidden in those eyes, which Bei Chenling could see.
"Just now, your majesty was irritable and offended your majesty. Please forgive me, but your majesty must know that there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. I am just an envoy, but your majesty is the king of the grassland. Sleeping in the same bed is a bit of a violation."
As Bei Chenling said, she saluted Zheji patiently.
Zhe Ji looked at her seriously, trying to judge the sincerity of Bei Chenling's apology from Bei Chenling's expression and eyes. It went down and didn't show up again.
Zhe Ji couldn't see clearly.
She frowned slightly, then sighed, and rarely explained:
"This king just saw that you were suffering from the cold. If you have no place to rest tonight, you may fall ill tomorrow. I want to say that if Miss Ling has nowhere to go, you can go to my king's place to sit. This king will let you squeeze half of the mattress. The night is over. Honor and humility are not used in this way. If someone is in trouble, he should help. There is no such thing as being rude, so troublesome!"
Zhe Ji spoke seriously, and she didn't hide any wrong thoughts.
Bei Chenling didn't expect Zhe Ji to explain this matter again, it seemed that Zhe Ji cared about her "frivolity" very much.
She frowned helplessly and sighed softly:
"Your Majesty misunderstood what Her Majesty the Queen meant. Since that's the case, I have the cheek to ask Her Majesty the Queen not to worry about the matter just now, and let me bother you, okay?"
Bei Chenling realized that she was thinking too much and lost her temper for no reason. Feeling a little guilty in her heart, she took the initiative to propose a peace, hoping that Zhe Ji would let go of the past.
The anger in Zheji's heart came and went quickly, and when Bei Chenling bowed, all the anger in her heart disappeared, but seeing that Bei Chenling still said that she was going to spend the night with her, she also apologized, and she was in a good mood again He got up, turned around and pushed the hat on Bei Chenling's head, and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's go!"
Bei Chenling:
"..."
She felt as if she had been cheated.
The queen of the prairie can turn her face faster than a book.
But the words had already been spoken, so she couldn't keep repeating what she said. She said she would go, so she went over to have a look. At worst, she still wouldn't sleep all night.
Bei Chenling draped that half-dry fur cloak on her body, turned around and asked the maid to bring an umbrella, stretched out her hand to hold it up, and shielded Zheji and herself under the umbrella, then said:
"Come on, Your Majesty."
Zheji saw a smile in her eyes, looked at the oil-paper umbrella in Beichenling's hand, and felt a little strange. There were no such things on the grassland, and even if there were, they were extremely rare. In the first few years of war, the barbarian army broke into Xingbei The part of the city inside the pass, intercepted from it, has long been ruined.
In the future, the grassland and Ningguo will do business, and things like this from Ningguo will be able to flow to the grassland. If it rains in the future, having an umbrella will surely be a lot more convenient.
Bei Chenling's maid wanted to take care of Bei Chenling, but Zhe Ji raised her hand to block her and said:
"There are also a few girls in the garrison on the king's side. It is inconvenient for your army to be full of men. You have nowhere to go. I will arrange it for you later."
The maid looked a little panicked, and turned to ask Bei Chenling for her opinion. Bei Chenling thought about it for a while, and felt that what Zheji said was reasonable, but she was also worried that her maid was not used to living with those prairie people, so she thought about it, Cai said:
"Listen to Your Majesty and be careful yourself."
It is better to have a place to live than to freeze all night, and there is not an unlimited supply of firewood in the temporary camp, and there is always some left for the soldiers here.
Besides, Ning Guo had just signed a commercial contract with Grassland. If someone from Ning Guo had an accident in Shengshi, it would not be of any benefit to Zhe Ji. Zhe Ji would not be doing this for a maidservant.
The maid obediently complied, and then followed Zhe Ji and Bei Chenling to the barbarian's residence.
Before leaving, Bei Chenling informed the guards guarding outside her camp, telling them that she was going to be a guest in the opposite camp, and also asked the guards to pass on Pei Qing to tell her whereabouts. I can think more, if Bei Chenling doesn't come back tomorrow, Pei Qing will definitely have a plan.
It's not that Bei Chenling refuses to fully trust Zhe Ji. You must not have the heart to harm others, but you must also have the heart to guard against others. Bei Chenling always has a backhand for herself, so that if something happens to her, Pei Qingcha Get up, there is no clue at all.
At the same time, it also reminded Zheji that Ningguo's soldiers knew that she had gone to Zheji's place tonight. If anything happened afterwards, the grassland people would always give Ningguo an explanation.
Bei Chenling thought a lot. It's not that Zheji didn't notice Bei Chenling's plan, but she didn't want to argue with it. She was not afraid of the shadow slanting, so she had nothing to worry about.
The rainy day is cold, and the climate in Shengshi is closer to the weather on the grassland. It is freezing at night. After walking a few steps, the wind blows over Beichenling's face mixed with raindrops. She feels very cold, and subconsciously He grabbed the collar tightly and wrapped the fur cloak even tighter.
Zhe Ji glanced at her and said:
"It's only a few steps away. There are more than one braziers burning in the king's camp. It must be warmer than yours."
She was calculating like a child.
Bei Chenling suddenly wanted to laugh, but she held back.
When the two came to Zhe Ji's tent, the guards on both sides saluted Zhe Ji respectfully.
Zhe Ji turned around and arranged for her female attendants to lead Bei Chenling's maid down to find a place to rest, while she herself lifted the curtain and said "please" to Bei Chenling.
Bei Chenling followed Zhe Ji into the tent. Two braziers were set inside the tent, and it was indeed much warmer than outside. The grassland people had obviously adapted to such treacherous weather, so they had their own way of dealing with it.
Zheji's bed was not like Beichenling's. It didn't lean against the four walls of the camp, and the ceiling was supported by wooden slats, and several layers of waterproof leather were folded.
After all, it was the queen's tent, and the attendants were very careful when building the tent, not to mention the pattering rain outside, even if it was torrential, it might not be able to leak in.
Bei Chenling was a little bit moved by the difference between people. When the soldiers in the northern border set up their camps, they built them according to the standards of the soldiers themselves. Bei Chenling's room was considered pretty good.
"Come and sit by the fire to keep warm!"
Zhe Ji invited Bei Chenling to sit on the chair, and at the same time took off the leather robe on her body.
The chair was covered with several layers of animal skins, the top one was a complete wolf skin, and the wolf's head was still hanging on the back of the chair. Bei Chenling turned pale in fright and stopped walking.
Zhe Ji noticed Bei Chenling's strangeness, and blinked suspiciously, then followed Bei Chenling's line of sight to look at the wolf fur on the chair, and immediately smiled:
"Miss Ling is afraid of wolf fur? Or is she afraid of wolves?"
Bei Chenling didn't say a word, she remembered that time in the capital, she saw Lin Aoxue again after many years, and participated in the spring hunting together with Lin Aoxue, when a ferocious leopard suddenly jumped out of the forest, Lin Aoxue blocked it for her in order to save her , was bitten by a leopard on the shoulder, dripping with blood.
It was also at that time that she learned that Lin Aoxue was a daughter, but she hadn't had time to discover that that person was her childhood friend, Ning Muxue.
Thinking of the past, Bei Chenling's eyes were a little dazed, but soon, she suppressed the melancholy in her heart, looked up at the ferocious wolf skin, lowered her eyes and replied:
"It looks like the real thing."
Zhe Ji got up and walked over, took off the wolf skin, wrapped the wolf's head inside the wolf skin, and threw it on the table beside her:
"Okay, you can sit down now."
Bei Chenling realized later, looked at Zhe Ji in surprise, and asked:
"Your Majesty, this chair is so meticulously arranged, why did you just remove the leather?"
Zhe Ji waved her hands without hesitation, sat by the brazier and roasted:
"Since it looks scary, it should be dismantled."
Bei Chenling couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that Zheji really scoffed at such things as etiquette, Bei Chenling couldn't say anything else, so she took off the hat on her head and sat down beside Zheji.
"Hey, your sister is Queen Ning, so you must be very close to Empress Ning?"
Bei Chenling sat down beside Zhe Ji, and suddenly heard what Zhe Ji said, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, a little surprised by Zhe Ji's sudden question, but she still answered politely:
"Ah."
Zhe Ji couldn't stay idle, the reason why she decided to invite Bei Chenling over today on a whim was because she was so boring staying in the tent by herself, there was no one to talk to, and the guards outside didn't care what she said , They all nodded and coped with it.
No one dares to offend the queen, so no one can really talk to her. The higher a person goes, the fewer people who care about him, and the less he can say. As long as he has the right to fight In other places, there will be such indifferent favors. It's not that Zhe Ji is careless, so she can ignore it and don't care.
But when she came today, she found that Bei Chenling was very interesting.
Bei Chenling always behaves in a serious manner, and what's more interesting is that she always has a cold face towards Zhe Ji. Like today, when she was in Bei Chenling's camp, Bei Chenling broke out at the slightest disagreement and pointed directly at Zhe Ji's nose. A eviction order was issued.
This kind of courage, even in Boca, no one has it.
Bei Chenling was born weak and weak, but she has a good temper. She not only dared to give Zheji a bad look, but also dared to call her frivolous.
Zhe Ji didn't know what she was thinking. It stands to reason that she should be very angry if she was offended by others. She could directly send an urgent report to the capital to let Lin Aoxue know that this person under her hand Just how arrogant is the female official, she doesn't care about the friendship between the two countries at all, she only cares about her own emotions, and makes the matter into a mess.
But she didn't do that, she didn't even feel too angry, she didn't have any other thoughts except for the words Bei Chenling said when she misunderstood her.
At this moment, Zhe Ji actually started looking for something to say:
"Your empress also came to the grassland as a guest before, do you know about this?"
Zhe Ji remembered some things in the past, and smiled with crooked eyebrows. At that time, Lin Aoxue was not as majestic as she is now, and Lin Aoxue even showed her the door.
When Zhe Ji mentioned Lin Aoxue, Bei Chenling had doubts in his eyes.
She remembered that Lin Aoxue seemed to have gone back to the grassland once, but she was not a guest. That time when Lin Aoxue was living in the grassland, the people in Xingbeiguan thought she was dead. Only Yun Yan knew about her experience in the grassland, and Yun Yan did not tell the news. Bei Chenling.
As a result, Bei Chenling knew nothing about it.
So Bei Chenling only knew that Lin Aoxue was captured by Zhe Ji, and later Zhe Ji used her to beg Bei Chenlong for ten carts of food and grass.
She guessed that this was probably what Zhe Ji was going to say at this time.
Bei Chenling frowned, with a cold light in his eyes, staring at Zhe Ji, and asked:
"Are you going to say that Empress Ningguo was captured by barbarians?"
Zhe Ji was surprised:
"You know about this too?"
Why did all the little things that happened in Xing Beiguan reach Bei Chenling's ears?With Lin Aoxue's current status, those things that happened back then must have been hidden.
Zhe Ji's attitude angered Bei Chenling again, she stood up abruptly, stared at Zhe Ji with wide eyes, and shouted:
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
Do you want to take the opportunity to insult King Ning?
Zheji's attitude really had to make Bei Chenling feel suspicious. She brought up Lin Aoxue's capture as soon as she opened her mouth. She obviously wanted to show off her ability. Even the empress of Ningguo could be captured, no matter how far Lin Aoxue walked or stood. Gao, this period of history will become Zheji's talking point.
Bei Chenling was extremely angry, she couldn't tolerate Zheji's disrespect to Lin Aoxue in speech, even if Zheji was the monarch of the Boca royal family, she couldn't bear it.
Zhe Ji was choked again, and was speechless in a daze.
Bei Chenling is angry again?
What's the matter?
She also wanted to tell Bei Chenling the truth about Lin Aoxue being rescued back that year. These trivial matters have changed over time, Bei Chenlong and Bei Chenhe have both died for several years, so even if you tell them, it won't hurt.
Zhe Ji just mentioned a person they both knew and knew well because she couldn't find a suitable topic for a while. Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, Bei Chenling was already very angry, like a firecracker, It hits at one o'clock, and there is a bang.
"Hey, wait a minute, Miss Ling, you may have misunderstood something again."
Zhe Ji felt that she understood Bei Chenling's bad temper a little bit. Perhaps it was because the two of them were naturally at odds, and the difference in living environment made Zhe Ji speak outspokenly. Many things, as long as they didn't involve important military and political affairs, she couldn't handle them. The brain said it directly.
As for Bei Chenling, because she is often in the convoluted environment of the court hall, when getting along with people on weekdays, no matter what she says, she has to be more distracted, guessing whether there is any deep meaning in the words of the person.
So Bei Chenling could always understand Zhe Ji's unintentional words to other places.
Hearing this, Bei Chenling did not loosen her brows, still staring at Zhe Ji coldly, and hummed:
"What misunderstanding can there be? When you mention the experience of your country's monarch being captured in the past, don't you just want to belittle your country's monarch in order to elevate yourself? Unfortunately, I once thought I misunderstood you!"
Bei Chenling was so angry that her chest ached a little, but she didn't notice that she had stopped beating around the bush when talking to Zhe Ji at some point, and even ignored the basic tact and etiquette.
Zhe Ji's repeated concessions and connivance made her a little bit out of place, and she didn't even realize it.
Zhe Ji was stunned for a while when she heard the words, then the corners of her mouth trembled, and she defended herself helplessly:
"Miss Ling, I swear to the heavens that I never meant to offend the king of your country when I mentioned this matter to you."
Seeing that Zhe Ji was serious, Bei Chenling started doubting herself again. She felt that she might be crazy today, driven crazy by the bottomless, sincere, yet arrogant attitude of this Queen of Boca.
"Then what do you mean?"
Bei Chenling asked.
"At that time, this king thought that the empress of your country was extraordinary!"
Zhe Ji sighed.
"Why didn't you say that just now?"
Bei Chenling was still skeptical.
"Miss Ling, it was you who prevented me from finishing my speech just now."
Bei Chenling:
"..."
The author has something to say: Fu: ... Sorry, I misunderstood again.
Queen: It's okay. If you feel guilty, you can come up and warm the king's bed.
Fu: Oh, get out of here!
Routine comments please accept please click!
The firewood in the brazier was crackling, Bei Chenling suddenly shuddered, her throat was a little itchy, and she couldn't help coughing twice as soon as she was smoked by the hot air in the brazier.
She felt that she had caught a cold, probably because of the autumn rain and cold wind blowing on the road before returning today.
"Ms. Ling is suffering from the cold?"
The sound of Bei Chenling's coughing was heard by the people who had just walked outside the tent. The guards saw Queen Boka coming and greeted them one after another. They wanted to tell Bei Chenling, but Zheji had already called the people in the tent. Then let this matter go.
The door curtain was lifted from the outside, and Zhe Ji was wearing a leather robe at the door, shaking the water off her clothes, before stepping in, without any intention of asking Bei Chenling for permission.
Bei Chenling has gradually gotten used to Zhe Ji's familiar behavior, and she is not in the mood to argue with Zhe Ji now. She sits by the basin and warms herself up by the fire. Zheji's question just now:
"I think it's a bit cold, but it shouldn't be a problem."
When Zhe Ji walked into the tent, she saw the mattress on the wooden frame at a glance. She reached out to touch it without seeing it, and it was really soaked, so she clicked her mouth immediately:
"In the afternoon, Lady Ling sent someone to bring ginger soup to the king, but the king has not yet thanked Lady Ling."
Bei Chenling lowered her eyes, not paying attention:
"Your Majesty also helped me today, a bowl of ginger soup is nothing more than worth mentioning."
Zhe Ji withdrew her hands from the mattress, walked around the small space in the tent twice, and said:
"The person who went out to look for bedding hasn't come back for so long, so there must be no more bedding here at the station. What is Lady Ling planning tonight?"
Bei Chenling frowned, feeling that Zheji was asking too much, but she didn't show any signs of impatience, and just said:
"I have no plans, I want to say that it is difficult to find things at night, and I will make arrangements after dawn."
"Wouldn't it be that tonight we have to watch by the brazier all night?"
Zhe Ji was a little surprised.
Bei Chenling didn't make a sound.
Zhe Ji looked at her, the surprise in her eyes gradually turned into amused, and then she laughed.
Bei Chenling was a little annoyed again, the Queen of the Grassland really had a bad temper, and Zhe Ji seemed to come to see her for a joke.
"Oh, Miss Ling, you were still coughing just now, if you stay up all night tonight, even if the rain stops tomorrow, you won't be able to go back!"
If she falls ill, someone will have to be sent to carry her back.
Bei Chenling's face was dark, but she who was always eloquent had no words to refute.
However, she didn't want to do that either.
Whether it's raining or water leaking from the tent, this is not what she wants to happen, but there are unpredictable things and people have misfortunes and blessings, and things are already like this. Before the rain stops, there is nothing else to do but to wait quietly. way?
Maybe it was because seeing Bei Chenling's face darkened, Zheji's laughter suddenly died down, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and seeing Bei Chenling glanced at her coldly, she stopped accompanying her, and simply walked back to sit by the brazier .
Yo, this lady officer is still a bit tempered.
Zhe Ji didn't mind either, she walked to the opposite side of the brazier in two steps, squatted down carelessly, looked at Bei Chen and smiled:
"Hey, Miss Ling, why don't you go to my king's place, my king's mattress is spacious enough for two people to lie on!"
Bei Chenling was stunned by Zhe Ji's words, she stared, stood up and shouted:
"Frivolous! I didn't expect you to be such a person. Fortunately, you are still the king of a country! You actually said such inappropriate words! Please get out immediately!"
After she finished speaking, she remembered that there was a gown that Zhe Ji gave her to protect her from the rain on the wooden shelf. She walked over in two steps, took off the robe, threw it at Zhe Ji, and drank again:
"go out!"
Zhe Ji was dumbfounded, she didn't understand why Bei Chenling suddenly became so angry.
Holding the fur cloak she handed over to Bei Chenling this afternoon, she stared blankly at Bei Chenling's flushed cheeks, not understanding what was going on for a while:
"Hey, no, why is this king so frivolous? Why is it not suitable for etiquette?"
If she insists on saying yes, it's just that she is indifferent to dignity, and she doesn't mind inviting a female official to share the bed with her as a queen, but Bei Chenling said such a thing.
She came here with good intentions to give Bei Chenling advice, and she was even willing to give up half of her own bed to Bei Chenling. With such kindness, Beichenling didn't appreciate it, and even said that she was frivolous, and even drove her away. .
For the first time, she felt that she might not have learned Ningguo dialect well.
Fortunately, she used to think that she had learned well, but now, she didn't even understand what she said wrong just now.
Faced with Zhe Ji's brazen rhetorical question, Bei Chenling's breathing became short of breath, and her eyes widened. This person is really a rascal, who knows what to ask and has no shame in asking!

"Hey! Okay, okay, it's my king who said something wrong, and I don't know what to say. Forget it, since Lady Ling doesn't appreciate it, I'm going back."
In the end, Zheji was the first to let go, she got up and hung the fur cloak in her hand back on the wooden stand:
"The cloak is almost dry, you can cover it with this at night, it should be better."
After finishing speaking, she walked towards the curtain of the tent in two steps, ready to lift the curtain and go out.
Bei Chenling calmed down for a while. She watched Zhe Ji walk out of the tent, and then glanced at the fur cloak Zhe Ji left behind. She hesitated in her heart, wondering if she had really made a mistake.
She recalled what Zhe Ji said just now, and it seemed that she didn't intend to take advantage of others' danger.
Zhe Ji had just taken two steps outside when Bei Chenling's voice came from behind:
"You wait."
Zhe Ji stopped in doubt, and there was a little sullen look in her eyes.
Her temper is not bad, but not everyone can pluck her hair. Bei Chenling rejected her kindness several times, she didn't take it seriously, but Bei Chenling said she was frivolous, which made her very unhappy.
She suppressed her anger and managed not to get angry on the spot. After all, Bei Chenling was still the envoy of Ning Kingdom. They had just signed the contract today, and they had a quarrel with Bei Chenling, which would hurt the harmony between the two countries.

"Just now, your majesty was irritable and offended your majesty. Please forgive me, but your majesty must know that there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. I am just an envoy, but your majesty is the king of the grassland. Sleeping in the same bed is a bit of a violation."
As Bei Chenling said, she saluted Zheji patiently.
Zhe Ji looked at her seriously, trying to judge the sincerity of Bei Chenling's apology from Bei Chenling's expression and eyes. It went down and didn't show up again.
Zhe Ji couldn't see clearly.
She frowned slightly, then sighed, and rarely explained:
"This king just saw that you were suffering from the cold. If you have no place to rest tonight, you may fall ill tomorrow. I want to say that if Miss Ling has nowhere to go, you can go to my king's place to sit. This king will let you squeeze half of the mattress. The night is over. Honor and humility are not used in this way. If someone is in trouble, he should help. There is no such thing as being rude, so troublesome!"
Zhe Ji spoke seriously, and she didn't hide any wrong thoughts.
Bei Chenling didn't expect Zhe Ji to explain this matter again, it seemed that Zhe Ji cared about her "frivolity" very much.
She frowned helplessly and sighed softly:
"Your Majesty misunderstood what Her Majesty the Queen meant. Since that's the case, I have the cheek to ask Her Majesty the Queen not to worry about the matter just now, and let me bother you, okay?"
Bei Chenling realized that she was thinking too much and lost her temper for no reason. Feeling a little guilty in her heart, she took the initiative to propose a peace, hoping that Zhe Ji would let go of the past.
The anger in Zheji's heart came and went quickly, and when Bei Chenling bowed, all the anger in her heart disappeared, but seeing that Bei Chenling still said that she was going to spend the night with her, she also apologized, and she was in a good mood again He got up, turned around and pushed the hat on Bei Chenling's head, and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's go!"
Bei Chenling:
"..."
She felt as if she had been cheated.
The queen of the prairie can turn her face faster than a book.
But the words had already been spoken, so she couldn't keep repeating what she said. She said she would go, so she went over to have a look. At worst, she still wouldn't sleep all night.
Bei Chenling draped that half-dry fur cloak on her body, turned around and asked the maid to bring an umbrella, stretched out her hand to hold it up, and shielded Zheji and herself under the umbrella, then said:
"Come on, Your Majesty."
Zheji saw a smile in her eyes, looked at the oil-paper umbrella in Beichenling's hand, and felt a little strange. There were no such things on the grassland, and even if there were, they were extremely rare. In the first few years of war, the barbarian army broke into Xingbei The part of the city inside the pass, intercepted from it, has long been ruined.
In the future, the grassland and Ningguo will do business, and things like this from Ningguo will be able to flow to the grassland. If it rains in the future, having an umbrella will surely be a lot more convenient.
Bei Chenling's maid wanted to take care of Bei Chenling, but Zhe Ji raised her hand to block her and said:
"There are also a few girls in the garrison on the king's side. It is inconvenient for your army to be full of men. You have nowhere to go. I will arrange it for you later."
The maid looked a little panicked, and turned to ask Bei Chenling for her opinion. Bei Chenling thought about it for a while, and felt that what Zheji said was reasonable, but she was also worried that her maid was not used to living with those prairie people, so she thought about it, Cai said:
"Listen to Your Majesty and be careful yourself."
It is better to have a place to live than to freeze all night, and there is not an unlimited supply of firewood in the temporary camp, and there is always some left for the soldiers here.
Besides, Ning Guo had just signed a commercial contract with Grassland. If someone from Ning Guo had an accident in Shengshi, it would not be of any benefit to Zhe Ji. Zhe Ji would not be doing this for a maidservant.
The maid obediently complied, and then followed Zhe Ji and Bei Chenling to the barbarian's residence.
Before leaving, Bei Chenling informed the guards guarding outside her camp, telling them that she was going to be a guest in the opposite camp, and also asked the guards to pass on Pei Qing to tell her whereabouts. I can think more, if Bei Chenling doesn't come back tomorrow, Pei Qing will definitely have a plan.
It's not that Bei Chenling refuses to fully trust Zhe Ji. You must not have the heart to harm others, but you must also have the heart to guard against others. Bei Chenling always has a backhand for herself, so that if something happens to her, Pei Qingcha Get up, there is no clue at all.
At the same time, it also reminded Zheji that Ningguo's soldiers knew that she had gone to Zheji's place tonight. If anything happened afterwards, the grassland people would always give Ningguo an explanation.
Bei Chenling thought a lot. It's not that Zheji didn't notice Bei Chenling's plan, but she didn't want to argue with it. She was not afraid of the shadow slanting, so she had nothing to worry about.
The rainy day is cold, and the climate in Shengshi is closer to the weather on the grassland. It is freezing at night. After walking a few steps, the wind blows over Beichenling's face mixed with raindrops. She feels very cold, and subconsciously He grabbed the collar tightly and wrapped the fur cloak even tighter.
Zhe Ji glanced at her and said:
"It's only a few steps away. There are more than one braziers burning in the king's camp. It must be warmer than yours."
She was calculating like a child.
Bei Chenling suddenly wanted to laugh, but she held back.
When the two came to Zhe Ji's tent, the guards on both sides saluted Zhe Ji respectfully.
Zhe Ji turned around and arranged for her female attendants to lead Bei Chenling's maid down to find a place to rest, while she herself lifted the curtain and said "please" to Bei Chenling.
Bei Chenling followed Zhe Ji into the tent. Two braziers were set inside the tent, and it was indeed much warmer than outside. The grassland people had obviously adapted to such treacherous weather, so they had their own way of dealing with it.
Zheji's bed was not like Beichenling's. It didn't lean against the four walls of the camp, and the ceiling was supported by wooden slats, and several layers of waterproof leather were folded.
After all, it was the queen's tent, and the attendants were very careful when building the tent, not to mention the pattering rain outside, even if it was torrential, it might not be able to leak in.
Bei Chenling was a little bit moved by the difference between people. When the soldiers in the northern border set up their camps, they built them according to the standards of the soldiers themselves. Bei Chenling's room was considered pretty good.
"Come and sit by the fire to keep warm!"
Zhe Ji invited Bei Chenling to sit on the chair, and at the same time took off the leather robe on her body.
The chair was covered with several layers of animal skins, the top one was a complete wolf skin, and the wolf's head was still hanging on the back of the chair. Bei Chenling turned pale in fright and stopped walking.
Zhe Ji noticed Bei Chenling's strangeness, and blinked suspiciously, then followed Bei Chenling's line of sight to look at the wolf fur on the chair, and immediately smiled:
"Miss Ling is afraid of wolf fur? Or is she afraid of wolves?"
Bei Chenling didn't say a word, she remembered that time in the capital, she saw Lin Aoxue again after many years, and participated in the spring hunting together with Lin Aoxue, when a ferocious leopard suddenly jumped out of the forest, Lin Aoxue blocked it for her in order to save her , was bitten by a leopard on the shoulder, dripping with blood.
It was also at that time that she learned that Lin Aoxue was a daughter, but she hadn't had time to discover that that person was her childhood friend, Ning Muxue.
Thinking of the past, Bei Chenling's eyes were a little dazed, but soon, she suppressed the melancholy in her heart, looked up at the ferocious wolf skin, lowered her eyes and replied:
"It looks like the real thing."
Zhe Ji got up and walked over, took off the wolf skin, wrapped the wolf's head inside the wolf skin, and threw it on the table beside her:
"Okay, you can sit down now."
Bei Chenling realized later, looked at Zhe Ji in surprise, and asked:
"Your Majesty, this chair is so meticulously arranged, why did you just remove the leather?"
Zhe Ji waved her hands without hesitation, sat by the brazier and roasted:
"Since it looks scary, it should be dismantled."
Bei Chenling couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that Zheji really scoffed at such things as etiquette, Bei Chenling couldn't say anything else, so she took off the hat on her head and sat down beside Zheji.
"Hey, your sister is Queen Ning, so you must be very close to Empress Ning?"
Bei Chenling sat down beside Zhe Ji, and suddenly heard what Zhe Ji said, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, a little surprised by Zhe Ji's sudden question, but she still answered politely:
"Ah."
Zhe Ji couldn't stay idle, the reason why she decided to invite Bei Chenling over today on a whim was because she was so boring staying in the tent by herself, there was no one to talk to, and the guards outside didn't care what she said , They all nodded and coped with it.
No one dares to offend the queen, so no one can really talk to her. The higher a person goes, the fewer people who care about him, and the less he can say. As long as he has the right to fight In other places, there will be such indifferent favors. It's not that Zhe Ji is careless, so she can ignore it and don't care.
But when she came today, she found that Bei Chenling was very interesting.
Bei Chenling always behaves in a serious manner, and what's more interesting is that she always has a cold face towards Zhe Ji. Like today, when she was in Bei Chenling's camp, Bei Chenling broke out at the slightest disagreement and pointed directly at Zhe Ji's nose. A eviction order was issued.
This kind of courage, even in Boca, no one has it.
Bei Chenling was born weak and weak, but she has a good temper. She not only dared to give Zheji a bad look, but also dared to call her frivolous.
Zhe Ji didn't know what she was thinking. It stands to reason that she should be very angry if she was offended by others. She could directly send an urgent report to the capital to let Lin Aoxue know that this person under her hand Just how arrogant is the female official, she doesn't care about the friendship between the two countries at all, she only cares about her own emotions, and makes the matter into a mess.
But she didn't do that, she didn't even feel too angry, she didn't have any other thoughts except for the words Bei Chenling said when she misunderstood her.
At this moment, Zhe Ji actually started looking for something to say:
"Your empress also came to the grassland as a guest before, do you know about this?"
Zhe Ji remembered some things in the past, and smiled with crooked eyebrows. At that time, Lin Aoxue was not as majestic as she is now, and Lin Aoxue even showed her the door.
When Zhe Ji mentioned Lin Aoxue, Bei Chenling had doubts in his eyes.
She remembered that Lin Aoxue seemed to have gone back to the grassland once, but she was not a guest. That time when Lin Aoxue was living in the grassland, the people in Xingbeiguan thought she was dead. Only Yun Yan knew about her experience in the grassland, and Yun Yan did not tell the news. Bei Chenling.
As a result, Bei Chenling knew nothing about it.
So Bei Chenling only knew that Lin Aoxue was captured by Zhe Ji, and later Zhe Ji used her to beg Bei Chenlong for ten carts of food and grass.
She guessed that this was probably what Zhe Ji was going to say at this time.
Bei Chenling frowned, with a cold light in his eyes, staring at Zhe Ji, and asked:
"Are you going to say that Empress Ningguo was captured by barbarians?"
Zhe Ji was surprised:
"You know about this too?"
Why did all the little things that happened in Xing Beiguan reach Bei Chenling's ears?With Lin Aoxue's current status, those things that happened back then must have been hidden.
Zhe Ji's attitude angered Bei Chenling again, she stood up abruptly, stared at Zhe Ji with wide eyes, and shouted:
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
Do you want to take the opportunity to insult King Ning?
Zheji's attitude really had to make Bei Chenling feel suspicious. She brought up Lin Aoxue's capture as soon as she opened her mouth. She obviously wanted to show off her ability. Even the empress of Ningguo could be captured, no matter how far Lin Aoxue walked or stood. Gao, this period of history will become Zheji's talking point.
Bei Chenling was extremely angry, she couldn't tolerate Zheji's disrespect to Lin Aoxue in speech, even if Zheji was the monarch of the Boca royal family, she couldn't bear it.
Zhe Ji was choked again, and was speechless in a daze.
Bei Chenling is angry again?
What's the matter?
She also wanted to tell Bei Chenling the truth about Lin Aoxue being rescued back that year. These trivial matters have changed over time, Bei Chenlong and Bei Chenhe have both died for several years, so even if you tell them, it won't hurt.
Zhe Ji just mentioned a person they both knew and knew well because she couldn't find a suitable topic for a while. Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, Bei Chenling was already very angry, like a firecracker, It hits at one o'clock, and there is a bang.
"Hey, wait a minute, Miss Ling, you may have misunderstood something again."
Zhe Ji felt that she understood Bei Chenling's bad temper a little bit. Perhaps it was because the two of them were naturally at odds, and the difference in living environment made Zhe Ji speak outspokenly. Many things, as long as they didn't involve important military and political affairs, she couldn't handle them. The brain said it directly.
As for Bei Chenling, because she is often in the convoluted environment of the court hall, when getting along with people on weekdays, no matter what she says, she has to be more distracted, guessing whether there is any deep meaning in the words of the person.
So Bei Chenling could always understand Zhe Ji's unintentional words to other places.
Hearing this, Bei Chenling did not loosen her brows, still staring at Zhe Ji coldly, and hummed:
"What misunderstanding can there be? When you mention the experience of your country's monarch being captured in the past, don't you just want to belittle your country's monarch in order to elevate yourself? Unfortunately, I once thought I misunderstood you!"
Bei Chenling was so angry that her chest ached a little, but she didn't notice that she had stopped beating around the bush when talking to Zhe Ji at some point, and even ignored the basic tact and etiquette.
Zhe Ji's repeated concessions and connivance made her a little bit out of place, and she didn't even realize it.
Zhe Ji was stunned for a while when she heard the words, then the corners of her mouth trembled, and she defended herself helplessly:
"Miss Ling, I swear to the heavens that I never meant to offend the king of your country when I mentioned this matter to you."
Seeing that Zhe Ji was serious, Bei Chenling started doubting herself again. She felt that she might be crazy today, driven crazy by the bottomless, sincere, yet arrogant attitude of this Queen of Boca.
"Then what do you mean?"
Bei Chenling asked.
"At that time, this king thought that the empress of your country was extraordinary!"
Zhe Ji sighed.
"Why didn't you say that just now?"
Bei Chenling was still skeptical.
"Miss Ling, it was you who prevented me from finishing my speech just now."
Bei Chenling:
"..."
The author has something to say: Fu: ... Sorry, I misunderstood again.
Queen: It's okay. If you feel guilty, you can come up and warm the king's bed.
Fu: Oh, get out of here!
