Consort Zhanzhao

The next day, of course, it didn't work out. Not only did it fail, Zhao Bijia didn't wake up until noon, but she felt that she couldn't blame her for this. After all, she didn't go to bed until dawn. Even if she slept until noon, she didn't even sleep for three hours. arrive.

She was a little embarrassed when she first came out, but she didn't know whether Zhao Xuan or Yang He'an had been pointed out or warned, at least there was nothing abnormal in front of her.

Very good, Zhao Bijia gave Zhan Zhao an approving look, and sat down to eat.

It's just that today's dishes seem a bit too bland... Does it mean that she ate too much meat last night?She raised her eyes to glance at Zhan Zhao, and saw that there seemed to be something more in his eyes, which made people feel a little warm, but also a little frightened.

Zhao Bijia hastily lowered her head, picked up the bowl, and picked up a chopstick dish with the clear soup and little water. If it is light, it should be light. Anyway, she ate something more nutritious last night, and maybe she can eat it again tonight. once?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush, and looked up at Zhan Zhao, she really looked like an upright gentleman.

After resting in the town for a day, they embarked on the journey again early the next morning.When Zhao Bijia got into the carriage, he felt that it was different from before. The cushions seemed to be softer, and even the blankets and other things used for naps were replaced with new ones.

Seeing her looking at these things, Zhao Xuan's tone was a bit sour, "Yesterday afternoon when you were catching up on sleep, Zhan Zhao went out to buy it, and he took me there with him. I visited all the fabric shops and grocery stores in the whole town, and I didn't I’ve seen a man who can go shopping like this.”

Zhao Bijia burst out laughing, Zhan Zhao was driving the car today, and he was complaining justly based on the words "don't listen to indecent words".

"Then do you want to use it?" This sentence immediately hit Zhao Xuan's deathbed.

He shook his head shyly, stretched out his hand to pat the cushion twice, and then touched the unusually soft blanket, "I think he is still very caring, and he is quite competent as a son-in-law."

The smile on Zhao Bijia's face never stopped, and she heard Yang and An gnashing their teeth: "If it wasn't for him, the princess wouldn't be so tired!"

Actually... Zhao Bijia blushed a little, of course it wasn't her who did the hard work.She turned her head, pretending to look at the scenery outside, and stopped talking.

According to Zhao Bijia's instructions, the people drove the carriage all the way east, and three days later they arrived at a town at the foot of a mountain.

Zhao Bijia looked at the lofty mountains not far away, frowned and sighed, "It should be here..."

The expressions of the people who said this sentence became serious, and they stood there for a while and looked at the mountain without moving for a long time.

"Why are you so serious?" Zhao Bijia suddenly smiled, "It's so late today, and it's not the time to go up the mountain. Let's go to the town to spend the night first, and we have to find out what the mountain is about and if there is anything there. Legends and so on." After speaking, she added, "I still have to prepare things for going up the mountain."

Zhan Zhao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to pull the reins as if to cover up, but he didn't expect that the carriage had already been taken away by Yang and An Xian. Seeing this, Zhao Bijia pulled his hand and said in a low voice, "I'm not nervous, and you shouldn't be too nervous, okay?" ?”

Zhan Zhao hummed and nodded.

This town is bigger than the one they passed by a while ago. Walking along the main road into the center of the town, there are small merchants and hawkers everywhere on both sides of the road, and there are shops on both sides. The business is also very good.

But not long after they left, they saw the first two officials dressed as yamen servants walking towards them together, and they couldn't stop looking at them.

Zhao Bijia was a little nervous all of a sudden, although he knew that in such a prosperous area, it was normal for government servants or head arresters to patrol, and the four of them were unfamiliar faces, so it was normal for people to stare at them.But now their identities are a bit unclear, and it's really not easy to be noticed, so even though she told herself that everything should be as usual, she still lowered her head involuntarily.

Zhao Xuan's reaction was even bigger, and she hid behind Zhan Zhao in fright.

Unexpectedly, the two officials smiled at them instead, "It's not a problem, maybe our two brothers are too fierce and scared the young master."

Zhan Zhao also worked in the yamen before, so he nodded at them and said, "It's the first time I take him out, I'm a little scared."

Zhao Bijia wasn't nervous now, and when he looked at the clothes on the four of them, he knew why the official was so respectful.

"...Your accent doesn't sound like a local..."

Over there, Zhan Zhao had already chatted with the two officials.

"...The people who came from the south, their ancestors were people from near here. A few years ago, they fled famine and went to the south of the Yangtze River. What people think about in their later years is returning to their roots."

"That's the truth." The official said while looking at the people around him.

Zhan Zhao tentatively said, "I'm afraid the two of you still have something important to do, so I won't bother you."

"Actually, it's nothing," one of them sighed, "Two days ago, the government came to Bianliang's decree—"

Zhao Bijia only felt Zhao Xuan's hand tremble, and both of them pricked up their ears to listen.

"It is said that there is a Taoist priest in Bianliang, who deceived the crowd and His Majesty with evil words, and has been imprisoned—"

Zhao Bijia grabbed Zhao Xuan's hand hard.

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao expressed his doubts, "The emperor is far away today, why is there even movement here?"

"Hey," the official said bitterly, "Our county magistrate is—in short, he hasn't been promoted for several years. He said that he would take this opportunity to clean up the monks and ask us to come out and bring all the Taoists and monks in the town. Go back and ask."

Zhan Zhao frowned. The official had been busy for two days and was full of complaints, but he was a little annoyed when he said this. After all, the four people in front of him seemed to be either rich or expensive, and they came from Jiangnan. Their ancestors still fled the famine For those who have gone out, if they can have such a family in only two or three generations, they have no other way but to be an official.

Thinking about it this way, I felt a little uneasy again, afraid of causing trouble for myself, and hastily remedied: "Actually, our county magistrate is also very kind. After all, this monk or Taoist or something, if there are too many, something will happen! Check it out, It’s just that I’ve been tired for the past two days.”

Zhao Bijia and the others looked at each other for a few moments, and seeing this reaction, the official was even more sure that this group of people belonged to the officialdom, and immediately roared, "The one in front, whose pocket did you put your hand in!" The thieves reasoned and hurried away.

Now the few people are not in the mood to go shopping in the market anymore, so they found an inn to settle down.

Zhan Zhao said: "I'll go to the county government office to see what is written in the edict."

Zhao Bijia nodded, if she didn't have the confidence not to be discovered, she really wanted to go with Zhan Zhao.

Several people were waiting in the room at the moment, Zhao Bijia was a little restless, Zhao Xuan suddenly asked, "If... If it's true, does my sister want to go back now?"

"Of course not, we're all at the foot of the mountain, how can we just go back like this?" Zhao Bijia replied without thinking, but after saying this sentence, she suddenly became less anxious, yes, no matter what happened to Bianliang... at least not Affect her current decision.

Zhao Xuan suddenly said, "I'm with my sister."

Yang and An nodded and said, "I will go back to Beijing with the princess."

After all, Zhan Zhao is a bold man with high skills, and he worked as a guard in one of the best yamen in the country, such as Kaifeng Mansion. He knows the layout of the county yamen, where important documents are kept, etc. Zhao Bijia feels that they seem to have just discussed it. What to eat for dinner, Zhan Zhao came back.

His expression is lighter than when he went out, which is good news.

"It is indeed as the two officials said. In addition, the imperial decree also said that monks and Taoists should be ordered to investigate the temples and temples across the country, count the number of monks and priests, and if there are fake ones, they will rush into the army as slaves. Focus on investigating wandering Taoist priests and monks, and ask local officials to arrange registration orders, and wait until this investigation is over before they are allowed to go on the road.”

Zhao Bijia pursed her lips, "So...the Gu on his body has been cured?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "It should be."

Yang He'an looked up at him, the princess didn't know, Yang He'an knew that Zhan Zhao's Jiang Hu friends had always been by their side, as for whether they still had contact with the government, he didn't know at all.

But looking at his determined look, although what he said was right, the emphasis was on the "yes" at the end, so Yang He'an knew that there must be positive news from Bianliang.

"Where is the little prince who was exposed to the wind earlier? Is he cured?" Zhao Xuan asked suddenly.

Zhao Bijia looked at him with some doubts, and said that when he was in the palace before, except that Zhao Xuan was a little abnormal when the little prince was born, the latter - in fact, it was quite abnormal, he didn't even ask a question, just It seems that there is no such person in the palace.

But since leaving the palace... He asked once that night, twice on the way, today... this is the fourth time, and the tone sounds, why is he quite concerned?

However, Yang and An understood the few people in the room but did not say anything. Zhan Zhao had no way of knowing the relationship between the two princes who were not born to the same concubine. Alright."

Zhao Xuan took a breath, as if immediately put the matter behind her, and said, "Let's eat first? Are you going up the mountain tomorrow?"

"How do you know how to eat all day long?" Zhao Bijia looked at Zhao Xuan with a little worry. They were indeed tired on the road, but his appetite was too big, and he didn't grow taller or fatter. I don't know where he has eaten all these meals.

Zhao Xuan glared at her, "I didn't eat yours again!"

The sister and brother chattered, Yang and An took Zhao Xuan out to wash up, Zhao Bijia heaved a sigh of relief, but when she looked up, she saw Zhan Zhao's face... a little affectionate, especially looking at her with deep affection.

What's going on here?Zhao Bijia raised her eyebrows.

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, "You just..." He suddenly grabbed Zhao Bijia's hand, "I'll go up the mountain with you tomorrow." His words were very pity, as if he wanted to give Zhao Bijia infinite strength.

"There must be you—" Zhao Bijia suddenly understood what was going on, he had misunderstood again, just now when Zhao Xuan asked to go up the mountain tomorrow, she interrupted him by saying that he ate too much, he felt that he... Want to escape?

Zhao Bijia shook her head, how could she escape again?

When dinner came, Zhan Zhao and Yang He'an both looked absent-minded. Only Zhao Xuan was a bit careless. He didn't count on eating by himself, but he advised others, "I'm going to climb the mountain tomorrow, eat more." After speaking, he gave Zhao Bijia Added a chicken leg, "If you eat this, your legs will be strong."

"Who is it that always lags behind and makes people forget!"

Zhao Xuan looked up at her, "I didn't call your concubine back."

Zhao Bijia smiled, pointed to Zhan Zhao, "my son-in-law." and pointed to Yang He'an, "my chief eunuch."

Zhao Xuan froze for a moment, pointed to Zhao Bijia and said, "My sister."

you can do it!Zhao Bijia ruthlessly touched Zhao Xuan's head, and took a bite of the chicken leg.

At night, Zhao Bijia leaned in Zhan Zhao's arms, with her tail stretched out, making waves where her hands couldn't reach.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao squeezed it into his hand, "Sleep."

Although this tail is a thing that has only recently grown, but when someone pinched it, Zhao Bijia felt that his ears stood up, "Is this how you sleep?"

Zhan Zhao persuaded her earnestly, "I'm going up the mountain tomorrow, so be careful of weak legs."

"Your legs are not soft, how can my legs be soft?"

Zhan Zhao reached out and squeezed the acupuncture points on her waist twice, and Zhao Bijia immediately felt the feeling of soft legs.

Zhao Bijia glanced up at him, Zhan Zhao let go, and patted her comfortingly, "Go to sleep."

"Yeah." Zhao Bijia was a little annoyed, why is it all upside down?It's just that not long after she closed her eyes, she felt Zhan Zhao next to her turn away from her.

This is not acceptable, newlyweds cannot sleep back to back, so she moved closer and pressed against Zhan Zhao, "It's cold, don't stay so far away."

Who knew that Zhan Zhao turned over suddenly, Zhao Bijia finally understood what he meant by carrying it back.If she sleeps face up... I'm afraid I'm going to panic, if I sleep face to her... I'm afraid I'll bump into her.

The corners of Zhao Bijia's mouth curled up, but in the dark, no one knew except herself.

Zhan Zhao kissed her on the neck, and slid his hand along the collar that was not properly buttoned, "The mountain is quite high, I will carry you on my back when I get up in the morning."

So in the end she still had limp legs and tasted it both ways one night.

The first one is acupuncture.

The second is, of course, excessive exercise.
