At the beginning of the morning, Emperor Zhengxuan's chariot finally walked out of the palace, accompanied by the Yulin Army and Zuo Yiwei to escort him. There were Jinyi guards in front of him to open the way, and the clan nobles waiting at the gate of the city also followed after Emperor Zhengxuan's chariot left.
He got into his own carriage and followed behind the imperial driver.
"Ah Wu, please worry about this journey, I'm going to the front." After Xie Zheng explained, Xie Wu got on the horse.
He is the deputy general of Zuo Yiwei and has the responsibility of patrolling and escorting the troops along the way.
It wasn't until Xie Zheng walked away that Xie Wu signaled Suiyu to lower the car curtain.
"Girl." As soon as the car curtain fell, Mi Yue immediately stood up and knelt down in front of Xie Wu.
She has been thinking a lot at home these days. She always thought that the girl did not trust her, but she took care of all the affairs of Hengzhiyuan, no matter how big or small, and she was also in charge of the girl's jewelry and hairpins.
My brother was right, she was too sensitive and careless. It was clear that the girl had trusted her with her back, but she was still greedy.
"Mi Yue, as servants, we should each perform our duties. Doing our own things well is loyalty to the master and the boss. You don't have a strong head and six arms. How can you expect that the girl will hand over everything?
With you alone!”
Her brother's words rang in her ears again, Mi Yue fell to the ground in shame, she did not dare to look at Xie Wu's expression at this time.
She originally thought that the girl wouldn't want her after she did such a stupid thing, but she didn't expect that early in the morning, the girl still asked her brother to take her into the carriage.
When she thought of Suiyu's excited look when she saw her, she felt even more ashamed.
They all truly trust and rely on her, but she is secretly jealous of them...
"Oh, sister Miyue, what are you doing? It's so hard to come out, we can't be happy!" Suiyu heard Miyue's silent sobs with her sharp ears, she hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over, and then,
She did not forget to look at Xie Wu with a smile and said, "Yes, girl."
"Get up." Xie Wu glanced at Suiyu, and finally uttered a few words as she wished.
After receiving Xie Wu's words, Sui Yu happily stepped forward and helped Mi Yue up, "Sister Mi Yue, fortunately you are back. I almost thought I was going to go out with this girl Xianyue. She is so good at eating.
, I’m really afraid that the snacks and dry food prepared by Grandma Luo won’t be enough for her to fill her teeth!”
Seeing the expression on Suiyu's face with no grudge at all, Miyue suddenly felt a surge of warmth in her heart, "Suiyu, thank you..."
"No, no, no, it's my turn to thank you. If you hadn't come, I would still be worrying about how to comb the girl's hair every morning." As Suiyu said, she glanced at Xie Wu's head guiltily.
Following Bronyu's line of sight, Miyue discovered that the girl only had a simple bun with a cloud on her head and a white jade tassel hairpin on her temples. There were no other hairpin decorations. Today.
Among all the gorgeous girls, she was indeed too plain, but fortunately, the girl's color was eye-catching, so she was outshone by those other girls.
"Sister Miyue, don't look at it. This girl had her hair tied up by herself this morning..." Seeing that Miyue was touched, Suiyu curled her lips and added silently.
So, Mi Yue, please don’t leave!
We need you!
Miyue seemed to have heard Suiyu's thoughts. She glanced at her apologetically, then stood up and knelt down in front of Xie Wu again. She said to her solemnly, "Girl, I will never be foolish again."
, if this slave does it again, just order someone to drag her out and give her dozens of boards!"
After hearing what she said, a smile finally appeared on Xie Wu's face. She looked at Mi Yue with a smile and said, "If there is another time, I'm afraid it won't just be as simple as hitting a board."
It wasn't that she couldn't live without Mi Yue, but she thought that since God had given her a chance to start over, she should also give others more chances.
In fact, traveling with the emperor was a chore.
The emperor had someone standing in front of him along the way and had arranged everything early. However, when the accompanying ministers and family members arrived at the camp, they had to find food and accommodation by themselves. It was better to be closer to the capital. There were palaces and gardens along the way, but when they left,
The Great Wall became desolate along the way. Even Emperor Zhengxuan could only pull up bright yellow tents to camp, let alone others.
At the beginning, everyone was still talking and laughing, and from time to time, girls and ladies who were good friends would come to chat all day long, and some would even squeeze into a carriage and laugh. But two days after leaving Beijing, the men could still hold on.
, but the female relatives were all huddled in the carriage like beaten eggplants, unable to move. The laughter and laughter at the beginning were nowhere to be found, and everyone was counting on their fingers how many days to go.
Of course, this short distance is nothing to a person like Xie Zheng who has come down from the battlefield. When he first left the capital, he was worried about riding a horse in the convoy of the Marquis of Wu'an from time to time to care about his son and daughter. But as he left the capital, he became more and more worried.
He rarely showed up since he was far away. Even when he came, he only met Xie Wu and left in a hurry.
After all, the further away from the capital, the greater the chance of danger.
Therefore, whether it was the Yulin Army, Zuo Yiwei, or Jinyiwei, these people all had their hearts in their throats. They were patrolling around all the time. The people accompanying them were also shocked by the cold and solemn atmosphere.
The happy scene at the beginning will never be seen again.
Although Emperor Zhengxuan ate and drank well during the trip, he was getting older after all. After several days of hard work, he couldn't stand it anymore. So, it was still early that day, so he ordered people to camp.
Rest.
Looking at the dense woods in front of them, although the generals of Yu Linwei and Zuo Yiwei were inappropriate, looking at Emperor Zhengxuan's pale face, they looked at each other and did not dare to say anything, so they could only order.
While helping to set up camp, additional people were sent to patrol the woods.
At this time, Xie Wu also supported Mi Yue's hand to get out of the carriage.
After riding in the carriage for several days, Xie Wu did not need the help of the maids and women to get out of the carriage like other girls, but she still couldn't hide the tiredness on her face, but even so, she had to give instructions.
People camp.
Fortunately, many of the people Xie Zheng brought out this time had followed him back from Ningxia. They were very comfortable with setting up camp and setting up stoves. However, he had just unloaded the things from the carriage and was halfway through the work. One of them was about forty years old.
The decent grandma led the two little maids towards Xie Wu with smiles on their faces.
"I have met Miss Xie. I am the steward of the Shangshu Family of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." The nanny saluted Xie Wu and introduced herself to her family with a smile.
Xie Wu raised her lips very gently towards the old woman, "Is there something wrong, mama?"
"Thank you, Miss. It's like this. Our carriage arrived late and we couldn't find a suitable place to camp. My wife thinks your place is quite spacious, so let's see if our two homes can be squeezed together?" Thank you.
Wu took the initiative to ask, and the grandma told her the purpose of her visit without any politeness.
After hearing what the nanny said, Xie Wu raised her eyebrows and chuckled.
Because we camped in advance and at the edge of the forest, the camping place this time was really not big, especially since half of them were taken away by His Majesty the Emperor. The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was detained because his girl was a little sick when riding in a carriage.
After falling behind, by the time we caught up, the good campsite had already been taken over by others, leaving only a small open space next to the forest.
Everyone knows that when traveling with a driver, it is naturally safer to set up camp as close to the driver as possible. Especially like today, when a temporary camp is set up and there is still a pitch-black forest surrounding it, it is very difficult to escape from the forest.
Come up with something...
Therefore, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs thought about it and thought of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.
Although it is said that those who can travel with the royal chariot are all well-known families in the capital, Wu'anhou Mansion is different from other mansions. His mistress did not travel, and the person in charge was just a little girl who had just grown hairpins. Therefore, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel
Without even thinking about it, the lady sent the stewardess beside her to look for her.
"If my camp is indeed spacious, then there is no way for Mrs. Shi to come over and squeeze in. But you see, my place is not big, so I can only trouble you to say sorry to Mrs. Shi on my behalf." Thank you.
Wu looked at the nanny with a smile and said.
"Thank you, Miss, don't refuse so quickly! You see, you still have some leeway. You just need to let your followers camp by the forest. Wouldn't this be able to free up a piece of land?" said the nanny.
Grandma smiled and said again.
After hearing her words, Xie Wu suddenly laughed.
Just when the mama thought it was a joke, she saw Xie Wu suddenly turned sideways and waved to a boy who was camping in the distance.
"Girl." Seeing Xie Wu waving, Mei Sheng ran over with sharp eyes.
"It's cold at night. You can take a few people to the forest to pick up more firewood later." Xie Wu ordered him with a faint smile.
"Yes, little one, let's go right away." Mei Sheng responded, then he greeted the two people and went into the woods.
The nanny originally thought that Xie Wu was going to agree to her promise, but she didn't expect that as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked the servants of the Hou Mansion to go collect firewood in the woods.
"Thank you, Miss. Our madam really has no choice but to ask your servant to come to you. So, can you please be accommodating? You see, our two families can take care of each other even if they are close together, right?" the mama finished.
, but Xie Wu still smiled silently and refused to answer her question, so she rolled her eyes and stood on Xie Shi not far away, "Eldest Young Master, do you think so? Our seventh Young Master and
You are still a classmate and friend!"
Xie Shi didn't want to see this excitement, especially after he recognized that the nanny was Mrs. Shi's nanny, but the main camp had not been set up yet, and unlike Xie Xu, he and Ding Guogong were together along the way.
The eldest son and second son of the palace and the eldest son of Zhennan Palace were very familiar with each other. As soon as the carriage stopped, he slipped away to find them. Therefore, he could only stand on the side and wait for people to set up the tent. Who would
I thought that this grandma would call him this way at this time.
Just when Xie Shi was stiff and at a loss, Xie Wu looked at the nanny with a smile and spoke.
"Mommy, maybe you have forgotten something. My brother Shi and your seventh son are classmates, but if we say they are good friends... I won't mention what happened yesterday, but if it happens next time,
Although our Wu'an Marquis Mansion does not have any elders accompanying us this time, my aunt is still here, so..." Seeing the sudden change in the face of the grandma, Xie Wu knew that there was no need to say what she said next, "Mammy, I
I still have something to be busy with, so I’ll send you off not far away.”
Xie Wu dropped this sentence and led the maid away directly.
