Chapter 269 Departure to the Northwest
Winter vacation soon arrived. Qin Zhichu packed his bags and came to Prince Jing's Mansion with full of expectations and nervousness. He looked at the big words and took a deep breath.
After Qin Zhichu followed the servant into the mansion, she walked straight towards the courtyard where Yuan Ying was. Along the way, familiar scenes from the past came into view, but at this moment, her mind was entirely on the upcoming farewell.
Arriving at Yuan Ying's courtyard, after the maid informed her, she slowly walked into the house and saw Yuan Ying playing with Panpan and Qiqi, so she called softly, "Fifth sister-in-law."
Yuan Ying raised his head upon hearing the voice, and seeing that it was Qin Zhichu, a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face, and he immediately stood up to greet him: "Zhichu, how did you find time to come here today? Come and sit down."
Qin Zhichu bowed slightly and then sat down on the chair. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Fifth sister-in-law, the winter vacation is coming soon. I want to tell you that I plan to go to the northwest."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ying frowned slightly, and after a while he said, "Zhichu, it's winter now, and it's freezing cold. The northwest is even more icy and snowy, and the climate is very bad. It's really not a good time to go to the northwest. If you really want to go to the northwest, you might as well wait until spring, when the weather will be warmer and the journey will be smoother."
Yuan Ying knew that she had already made up her mind when she came to talk to her, and she didn't want to dissuade her. It was just that it was winter and it was freezing outside, so it was definitely not the right time to set out.
Qin Zhichu lowered his head and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, I know you are worried about me, but I really miss Yanshu too much. These days separated by letters, every day is too tormenting for me.
She paused and said, "I have already told Mengyao about the academy. She will help take care of it. Mengyao is knowledgeable and patient. I feel relieved that the children are learning with her."
Yuan Ying sighed slightly, her eyes full of worry and reluctance. She patted Qin Zhichu's shoulder gently and said, "Zhichu, since you have made up your mind, I can only support you. But you have to be careful along the way."
Qin Zhichu's eyes flashed with determination, and he nodded vigorously: "Fifth sister-in-law, thank you."
After leaving Yuan Ying, Qin Zhichu returned to the Duke's Mansion. She tidied herself up a bit and walked towards the courtyard where Princess Dunchun was. Along the way, although her steps were steady, her heart was full of trepidation.
After arriving outside the courtyard, the maid went in to report, and then Qin Zhichu slowly stepped into the house. Princess Dunchun was sitting on the couch reading a book, and when she saw her coming, a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Zhichu is back."
Qin Zhichu walked closer, bowed, and then sat down on a chair beside her. He folded his hands in front of him and spoke slowly, "Mother, I have something to discuss with you. Winter vacation is coming, and I want to go to the northwest to find Yanshu."
When Princess Dunchun heard this, the scroll in her hand trembled slightly and the smile on her face faded a little. She was touched by Qin Zhichu's feelings for her son, but also worried about the risks she would face by going to the northwest.
"Zhichu, the journey to the northwest is long, and it is winter now. There will be snow and wind along the way, and many difficulties and dangers. How can I be at ease with you, a girl, going there?"
Qin Zhichu took Princess Dunchun's hand and said hurriedly, "Mother, I know you are worried, but I really miss Yanshu so much. I always feel empty inside when we are thousands of miles apart. Don't worry, I will be very careful on the road."
Princess Dunchun sighed slightly, her eyes full of love and reluctance: "You are such an infatuated child. But the bitter cold in the northwest, I'm afraid your body can't stand it. The New Year is only a month away, you should wait until spring comes before going."
Qin Zhichu's eyes were slightly red, but she responded with a firm look: "Mother, as long as I can see Yanshu, I am not afraid of any hardship or difficulty. It's just that I am leaving now and cannot be by your side to fulfill my filial piety. I feel extremely guilty. I hope you can forgive my unfilial behavior."
After saying that, Qin Zhichu slowly bent his knees, knelt respectfully towards Princess Dunchun, and then kowtowed heavily, with his forehead touching the ground, showing his piety and guilt.
Princess Dunchun looked at her and knew that she could not be persuaded, so she stood up and walked to Qin Zhichu, gently helped her up, and said, "Silly child, get up quickly. I understand your feelings for Yanshu, and I also know that you are a good and filial child."
Qin Zhichu's eyes were filled with tears of reluctance. She raised her head slightly, trying not to let the tears fall, but in the end a few drops still slid down her cheeks. She nodded vigorously and said, "Mother, thank you for your understanding."
Princess Dunchun raised her hand and gently wiped her tears, saying softly: "When you are away from home, your own safety is the most important thing, and don't be stubborn. I'll ask the palace to prepare some high-quality medicinal herbs and nourishing items for you to take with you. The conditions in the northwest are difficult, and these will be helpful in case of emergency."
Qin Zhichu nodded quickly and said, "Mother, you have thought it through very carefully. Thank you for your concern."
Princess Dunchun said gently, "It's not easy to be away from home, so I should help you as much as possible. Go back and make good preparations, and bring a few capable guards with you to ensure your safety along the way."
Qin Zhichu responded, "Yes, mother, your daughter-in-law has made a note of it."
Princess Dunchun looked at Qin Zhichu with a smile on her face. It wouldn't be long before she would be able to hold her eldest grandson in her arms.
After saying goodbye to Princess Dunchun, Qin Zhichu's steps became heavier as she returned to her room. However, when she thought about meeting Song Yanshu soon, her full of anticipation made her speed up her preparations.
She checked her luggage carefully again and put away the handmade clothes and small items she brought for Yanshu one by one to make sure nothing was missed.
Then, Qin Zhichu slowly walked to the table, sat down gently, spread out the paper, prepared the pen and ink, and prepared to write a letter to Song Yan. She knew in her heart that this trip to the northwest was a long journey, and it would probably take more than two months to arrive.
She thought for a long time and decided not to write the news that she was going to the northwest in the letter, because she knew Song Yanshu's character very well. If he knew about it, he would be worried.
So, she picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote slowly, carefully considering the words, saying that in the next two months, she would be extremely busy with many affairs and was afraid that she would not be able to spare the spare time to write a letter, so he should not worry about her.
As she wrote, she imagined how Song Yanshu would look when he received the letter. A gentle smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of her mouth. She wondered if she would give him a big surprise when she suddenly appeared in front of him.
The day of departure for the northwest soon arrived. Everyone in the Duke's Mansion came to see her off. Princess Dunchun's eyes were full of worry and reluctance. She held her hand and reminded her again and again that she must take good care of herself on the road and to protect herself first when encountering danger. Qin Zhichu held back her tears and nodded in response.
She disguised herself as a man and got on the carriage with two maids and several reliable guards. Murong Xuanyi also arranged four secret guards to protect her secretly.
The carriage slowly drove towards the northwest. Along the way, the cold wind blew the curtains of the carriage rustling, and the scenery outside became more and more bleak, but Qin Zhichu's heart was full of anticipation for meeting Yanshu.
Halfway through the journey, the weather became worse and worse. Heavy snow fell, and the road was soon covered with thick snow. The carriage had to slow down, and the wheels even sank into snow pits several times. The guards hurriedly got out and pushed, and it took a lot of effort to get the carriage to move forward.
Qin Zhichu looked at the heavy snow outside. Although he felt anxious, he had no intention of retreating.
Meanwhile, Song Yanshu in the northwest had no idea that Qin Zhichu was coming towards him. He was still busy with military affairs as usual. He only occasionally looked into the distance, hoping to receive a letter from Qin Zhichu, but he didn't know that a bigger surprise was about to come.
