Bei Chenling stared blankly at Zhe Ji, but she didn't come back to her senses after a long time, she thought she was dreaming.

Until Zhe Ji walked in front of Bei Chenling, spread her five fingers, waved them in front of the dumbfounded Bei Chenling, and murmured:

"Ma'am? Are you stupid?"

Then her pretending to be so elegant just now didn't have the effect it should have.

Bei Chenling finally came back to her senses, she suddenly grabbed Zhe Ji's hand that was shielding her eyes, and under Zhe Ji's horrified gaze, she couldn't help but bite down.

"Ow!"

Zhe Ji cried out in pain.

I haven't seen you for several months, why did the maid become a puppy?

Bei Chenling bit Zhe Ji's hand and did not let go, her black eyes raised her eyes to see the pained expression on Zhe Ji's face, and she suddenly smiled.

It doesn't look like I'm dreaming.

She loosened her mouth, laughed, patted the stool beside her, and said to Zhe Ji:

"Oh, I don't know that His Majesty's visit is not far away, why don't we sit down and have something to eat together."

Zhe Ji bared her teeth, secretly slandering her.

Not only did you not greet me far away, you even bit me.

Of course she wouldn't say this, she just shook her hand helplessly and asked:

"Why did the maid bite someone?"

The smile in Bei Chenling's eyes did not diminish, and she only said:

"I want to see if your skin is thick and if you can bite it."

Zhe Ji looked at the tooth marks on the edge of her palm, but was speechless.

She waved her hand casually, originally she didn't intend to argue with Bei Chenling, Bei Chenling invited her to have breakfast together, she was happy, so she said to Xiao Er who was waiting at the side:

"Serve two more servings of these dishes."

Bei Chenling was drinking water from her teacup. Hearing this, she almost choked on a mouthful of water. She immediately coughed violently, her eyes widened, and she looked at Zhe Ji in horror.

Suddenly, a new worry arose in her heart, that she might not be able to support this prodigal son.

Zhe Ji didn't care about so much, she happily swept away the food, which made Bei Chenling feel apprehensive, and glanced at Zhe Ji's stomach from time to time, muttering to herself, eating so much and still not gaining weight.

Her mood suddenly became more relaxed. The inn was still the same as before, but because there was one more person at the table, the atmosphere became different.

Bei Chenling originally lost her appetite, but because Zhe Ji picked up several dishes with chopsticks for her, she also ate a small bowl of rice, and heard Zhe Ji chattering on the side:

"You, you are all hungry and thin. You must not have eaten well during this time. How can you eat such a small amount? You don't have much meat on your body. Come on, this dish is good, eat more!"

As he spoke, he put another piece of meat in Bei Chenling's bowl.

Bei Chenling had no choice but to put the food into her mouth in small bites. She ate quite politely, not like the other person in the seat, who was turbulent. By the time Bei Chenling ate a small bowl of rice, Zhe Ji had already cleared two plates.

Is it really okay to eat so much in the morning?

Bei Chenling was a little worried.

However, under Bei Chenling's worried eyes, Zhe Ji picked up the cup and took another big sip, looking extremely happy.

Forget it, let her go.

Bei Chenling had already given up, she held the bean soup and took a sip.

"Funny came to the north this time, but what's the matter?"

After breakfast, the two of them went to drink tea at the Cuizhuxuan, and Zheji winked, as if she wanted to hear something from Bei Chenling that had nothing to do with official duties.

However, Bei Chenling didn't like her, and only said:

"Well, the empress sent me to the northern border to inspect the trade routes."

"Aside from that, is there any other reason?"

Zhe Ji didn't give up, she held the teacup in her hand, blinked vigorously, and hinted frantically.

"Your Majesty has an eye disease?"

Bei Chenling took some time off, gently blew on the tea in the cup, and asked with a smile.

Zhe Ji snorted lightly, leaned back in her chair resentfully, and took a sip from her cup. She drank tea in a decent way now, at least not as rude as before.

She was a little disappointed in her heart, but she thought that the half-year period agreed upon by them had not yet expired. Perhaps Bei Chenling's visit to the northern border this time was really just a coincidence, and she had no other intentions hidden.

But she couldn't hold back, and when she heard that the envoys had arrived from the capital, she was already on her way, so she galloped from Boka King's Court to Shengshi without stopping, and then turned to Xingbei Pass.

As soon as he entered the city, he found out that the envoy from Beijing had gone to stay in Fuyunzhuang, so he rushed to Fuyunzhuang without stopping.

She seemed overly eager.

Zhe Ji gritted her teeth, with a resentful expression on her face.

"Then why did Her Majesty come to Xingbei Pass?"

It stands to reason that Zhe Ji shouldn't have handled her military and political affairs properly in Boca Royal Court, so why did she have so much free time to come to Xingbei Pass to play?

Zhe Ji coughed hard to hide her panic, her eyes rolled around, she was thinking about how to answer Bei Chenling's question, but when she came, she didn't think hard, her paws were numb and she lost her mind.

Bei Chenling had never seen Zhe Ji look so embarrassed, she thought that this thick-skinned person didn't know how to write the word embarrassment, but seeing Zhe Ji like this, Bei Chenling immediately became happy , she probably guessed Zhe Ji's purpose.

Bei Chenling smiled, and suddenly it seemed as if the wind and snow had disappeared, and the wilderness was covered with flowers and plants, like the clear sky on the prairie. .

She clearly heard a fast and rapid heartbeat coming from her chest, faster than she was riding the fastest horse on the grassland, and it made her ears rumble.

It's worth the trip.

She couldn't help thinking this way, and came up with a more daring idea. After Bei Chenling's laughter fell, she answered frankly:

"I wanted to see you, so I came."

This time, she didn't use me.

It is not difficult for her to express her feelings directly, she just needs an appropriate time and an appropriate atmosphere, so as not to be considered frivolous by this woman who loves to think about things.

Bei Chenling didn't expect that she would really give an answer, and so frankly stated the most true thoughts in her heart. She stopped laughing, her eyes were full of water, and then took a deep breath, and tried her best to let her go. Be candid about yourself.

"Well, actually, I also want to see if I can meet by chance."

She originally had such thoughts.

Then, Zhe Ji really came, she found it unbelievable, but at the same time, she was quite happy.

Bei Chenling seemed to believe what Zhe Ji said earlier, but it didn't mean that she agreed that they could be together.

There is still a long way to go, I hope we can give each other a chance.

After Bei Chenling's voice fell, Zhe Ji saw the girl holding a teacup in her hand, sipping tea calmly, but her delicate and lovely ears were slightly red under the sunlight coming in from the window.

Obviously drinking tea, but it seems more intoxicating than wine.

"How will the daughter-in-law arrange it later?"

Zhe Ji laughed.

Bei Chenling raised her eyes and glanced at her, then replied calmly:

"Go to Xingbei Bazaar first to see how the people in Xingbeiguan make a living, and then go to Shengshi tomorrow. The road must have been paved, but I want to walk there to see the business roads and public security along the way. "

Bei Chenling did not hide her itinerary, she estimated that she would stay in the northern border for a while, not only to look at the business roads, but also to Shengshi to investigate whether there was any problem with the goods and materials between the two borders, and whether those merchants had withheld workers' money.

Shengshi is a fortress, and if there are any disputes on weekdays, all of these have to be checked, and it can't be seen clearly overnight, so she will live in the north for a while.

Zhe Ji was ecstatic when she heard the words, she put down the teacup in her hand with a smile, moved closer, and said to Bei Chenling:

"Then how about I go shopping with you these two days?"

With her around, at least the shops and caravans on the barbarian side would not dare to play tricks.

But Bei Chenling only said:

"Don't bother, we can go to the market together today, and tomorrow I will go to Shengshi, so you don't have to follow me, go back to your royal court and take care of the government affairs in your hall."

Hearing this, Zhe Ji had a bitter expression on her face. She snorted softly, knowing that Bei Chenling didn't want to take advantage of her, and she couldn't force her to do so, so she asked again:

"Then you're going to return to Beijing immediately after investigating the Shengshi stone and the trade route?"

The smile in Bei Chenling's eyes deepened, she seemed to understand the deep meaning of Zhe Ji's words and the purpose of this person's words.

The mood became happier, and even Bei Chenling's mind became more transparent. It was no longer like the previous two days, when her brain seemed to be covered in fog, and she was muddled all day long. It was still more refreshing as it is now.

"We'll make arrangements for things at that time. If you are lucky enough to go to the grassland to have a look, it would be nice."

Zhe Ji immediately became excited, and Bei Chenling basically settled down when she said this. She was quite happy, and said:

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. Today I'll go to the market first. The lady must go to the grassland to have fun. I'll take you to herd horses and sheep. You can see the grassland, the blue sky, and the reeds by the lake. The big wolf dog in the herdsman's house!"

She danced like a child.

Bei Chenling only pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes fell outside the window, the sun was shining down from the sky, it was golden, just like her current mood.

After resting, Bei Chenling led the people to the market immediately, and Zheji followed her. Seeing the goods brought to Xingbeiguan from the grassland, Zheji happily explained to Beichenling the purpose of these materials, she said That kumiss is still delicious on the grasslands, if you have a chance tomorrow, you must take Bei Chenling to drink a pot.

Bei Chenling glared at her:

"I'm afraid you forgot that I can't drink alcohol."

Zhe Ji laughed:

"It doesn't matter, take a sip, and with me watching, nothing will happen."

It is because you are watching that I feel that something will happen.

Beichen slandered.

Zheji joyfully led Beichenling to the market. The host and guest changed positions. It was clearly the market in Xing Beiguan, but Zheji seemed to have a thorough understanding of the inside and outside. It was clear and clear, which surprised Bei Chenling very much.

"Because I often sneak in to see what good things you have in Ningguo. Last time I went to the capital, I saw a lot of good things. I tried my best to find out, and I asked General Pei to call the shots and pushed the business line inward. Two cities, tsk, I know all about the shops and markets on the northern border."

Zhe Ji didn't hide her secrets, seeing Bei Chenling's puzzled face, she took the initiative to tell her how to understand the northern market, Bei Chenling squinted at her:

"You are quite scheming."

In this way, Zheji knew the northern border like the back of her hand, if she wanted to start a war, wouldn't it be easy?

Zhe Ji was afraid that Bei Chenling would misunderstand her, so she quickly turned serious and argued:

"Where can it be! Ma'am, do you think this king looks like that?"

Zhe Ji pointed at her face, and moved closer to Bei Chenling, trying to let Bei Chenling see clearly, her eyes were flickering, full of grievances, and she looked upright.

Bei Chenling let out a burst of laughter, she punched Zhe Ji's shoulder with her fist, and said with a smile:

"Where do you look like, it's just like that!"

Zhe Ji felt very hurt and wronged.

After walking for a while, the two of them basically finished shopping around Xingbei's market, and were about to head back home.

Suddenly there was a loud noise not far away, Bei Chenling looked up, and saw the crowd at the entrance of the market, as if someone was making trouble.

Bei Chenling frowned, immediately put away the smile on her face, and walked towards the stall with her entourage.

But seeing vegetables and fruits rolling all over the ground, an old man sitting paralyzed, his stall was smashed up, and the people who smashed things were actually two barbarians.

The old man sat on the ground and shouted loudly:

"The barbarian who killed a thousand swords! If you make trouble again, I will report to the police! Let General Pei deal with you!"

There were many merchants and pedestrians around the booth, and the scene was a bit chaotic.

When the two barbarians heard this, they stared, became angry, cursed and yelled a few barbaric words, and then walked towards the old man.

"stop!"

Suddenly, there was a low shout like thunder, which shocked everyone present, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

Zheji stood outside the crowd with a livid face. She was just boasting to Bei Chenling that the grassland merchants had been friendly with the people of Xingbeiguan after they came to Xingbeiguan. This scene suddenly appeared, and it was a slap in the face for her.

Seeing that she was so angry that she almost exploded on the spot, Bei Chenling didn't understand why Zhe Ji was so angry. She stretched out her hand and tugged at the corner of Zhe Ji's clothes, signaling her to be calm.

After all, this is the land of Ningguo, even if Zheji Weifu came to Xingbeiguan, she could not interfere with the government affairs of Xingbeiguan, so Bei Chenling lowered her voice to tell Zheji not to be impulsive, and then signaled her followers to push aside the crowd and walk inside Going in, came to the booth, glanced at it, and asked:

"Who can tell me what this matter is?"

As an envoy from the capital, her power in the market is even higher than that of Pei Qing.

Although Bei Chenling didn't wear an official uniform when she came out today, she was followed by several powerful attendants of Kong Wu, and she was holding a golden waist plate in her hand, showing her status as an imperial envoy.

The people were in an uproar, and under Bei Chenling's instruction, they stepped back a little.

Seeing that Bei Chenling was an imperial envoy from the capital, the old man who fell on the ground immediately burst into tears, then threw himself at Bei Chenling's feet, hugged her shoes, and wailed:

"Master Imperial Envoy! You have to decide for the old man! As soon as these two barbarians came up, they smashed the old man's stall without any explanation. The old man's son was originally a soldier in the northern border, but he died three years ago. A bedridden wife smashed up the old man's fruit stand, this is not killing us!"

The old man cried miserably, Bei Chenling frowned tightly, Zhe Ji looked panicked, her heart was not good, the prairie people caused trouble in Xingbeiguan, and they happened to meet them, I don't know how Bei Chenling will deal with this matter matter.

The two prairie people were also a little flustered. They obviously didn't expect that the incident here would alarm Ningguo's imperial envoys. If they were convicted of violating Ningguo's laws, they would have no chance to come to Xingbeiguan again, and they might even be imprisoned. inside.

Bei Chenling looked serious, she first looked at the old man, bent down and said to him:

"Get up first, don't worry, I will investigate this matter clearly."

After saying that, she turned her eyes to the two barbarians and asked:

"Can you understand Ningguo dialect?"

To do business at Xingbeiguan, if they don't understand Ningguo dialect, they can't even complete basic communication, let alone go to Xingbeiguan to buy supplies, so Bei Chenling concluded that these two people understand Ningguo dialect.

The two looked at each other, then nodded, and replied in Ningguo dialect that was not standard:

"My lord, the matter is not like this, please listen to my explanation."

Seeing Bei Chenling's kind face, they didn't ask questions or even arrest them as soon as they came, so they felt that this imperial envoy should not be unreasonable, and maybe he could give them a chance to defend himself.

It's just that they are also somewhat timid in their hearts. Grassland and Ningguo have been in business for more than two years. The merchants who travel to and from Xingbei Pass certainly understand what Ningguo's imperial envoy means, but the imperial envoy is Ningguo's imperial envoy, and I am afraid they will speak to Ningguo's people.

They pinned their hopes on Bei Chenling, hoping that Bei Chenling would enforce the law impartially, and at least give themselves a fair and just chance, so they said this.

Bei Chenling intervened in this matter, but it was not easy for her to deal with it.

There was a conflict between the grassland people and the Ningguo people. If she showed any selfishness, it would not only affect the relationship between Ningguo and the grassland, but even affect the short-term friendship between her and Zheji so far.

So she has decided to do business as usual, regardless of Zheji's favor, nor favor the people of Ningguo, first understand the situation clearly, and judge according to the circumstances.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, I will make my own judgment."

One of the prairie people stepped forward, saluted Bei Chenling, and said:

"Master Imperial Envoy, this booth was originally owned by me and my friend. Today, because the carriage broke down on the way outside the pass, we were delayed, so we came a little late, and asked this old man to take our place. We reasoned with him. He didn't listen, and insisted that the Xingbeiguan's territory should be used by the people of Xingbeiguan, and that I was not allowed to wait for foreign businessmen to set foot here. My friend was impatient and couldn't stand this useless attitude, so he made a move, and please sir Mingcha!"

Bei Chenling's face remained motionless, but she had been secretly observing the two prairie merchants and the old man beside her. Seeing the prairie merchant's explanation, the old man's face changed slightly, and Bei Chenling felt concerned.

After the prairie merchant finished speaking, Bei Chenling turned her eyes around, then glanced at another woman beside the booth, and asked:

"This shopkeeper, you must have been here early in the morning, what the two of them said just now, is it true?"

Since Ningguo and the Grassland opened up trade, every stall in the Xingbeiguan market has been marked, just like the shop, although the management is not as strict as the shop, but it does belong to others as the businessman said.

It's just that there are so many shops, it's a bit troublesome to investigate this matter carefully, so Bei Chenling thought to ask these vendors around first, if she can find out the truth, it will naturally help this case.

Unexpectedly, the woman's eyes were slightly averted. When Bei Chenling asked, she didn't respond directly, but said:

"Reply, Mr. Hui, the villain was indeed here just now, but he didn't see the whole dispute, and he didn't know who the booth next to him should be. We have seen this old man before, and the two foreigners smashed it as soon as they came. I went to the old man's stall, but I didn't see their reasoning process."

After the woman said this, the prairie businessman who had smashed the stall earlier suddenly stared angrily and looked at her in disbelief. He didn't want this Ningguo man to open his eyes and talk nonsense. After coming out, the taste changed, as if they were unreasonable.

The faces of the two prairie merchants became ugly, but the one who spoke just now grabbed the person beside him and motioned him not to act rashly, and to see the result first.

Zhe Ji stood in the distance, blending in the crowd, her eyes darkened, but she didn't show any panic, and there was actually a bit of anticipation in her heart.

She stood aside with her hands folded, wanting to see how Bei Chenling planned to judge this case.

This matter is not troublesome. The troublesome thing is how to deal with the relationship between the grassland people and the Ningguo people so that people on both sides can accept it without intensifying the conflict.

Bei Chenling sighed inwardly, her gaze turned cold, she roughly guessed what the woman was thinking, the old man was from Ningguo, and compared to the two outsiders, this woman obviously favored the old man on purpose.

She snorted coldly, but she didn't shake her face on the spot. Instead, after looking around, she said to a follower beside her:

"Go, tell General Pei about the market, and ask him to come over with the documents of the Xingbeiguan vendor, and check in public, who owns this stall. In addition, I will investigate the case, and you must report it according to the facts. Otherwise, to pollute people's innocence, or to confuse right and wrong, is also a violation of the law, the state owns the state law, and I will never disregard my own interests, and I will definitely investigate and deal with it according to the law! To serve as a warning to others!"
