no king

The nickname given to her by the empress of the late Wei Dynasty.

It was a mistake to blurt out just now.If he hadn't discussed with the monk Chongjue to lure her back to Beijing, how could he make her sad today.

When they came to the residence arranged by Tianchangguan, Sima Huai ordered Tong Run and Lin Cang to go to rest first. After traveling for a long time, they were also exhausted.

One person and one eagle stand in the courtyard and look up at the starry sky.

Just as Sima Huai was about to reach out to touch the bright starlight, a black figure landed on his forearm, looking at her with his head tilted, with doubts shining in his golden pupils.

She showed a rare smile, retracted her arms, stroked Jifeng's stiff wings with her hands, and said in a slightly pampering tone, "I didn't call you, I just remembered my previous life."

Jifeng couldn't understand, but it was connected with its master, and could feel the oppressed and sad mood of the other party. It cooperatively rubbed its head against Sima Huai's warm palm.Jifeng's head is not as delicate as those furry pets, but a little rigid and domineering.

Sima Huai laughed lightly.this guy~

2.

The next day, early in the morning.

"dong dong dong"

"Your Highness." Tong Run called out from outside the bedroom, holding a copper basin filled with hot water.

"Enter."

"Yes."

Sima Huai's eyes were slightly blue and black, his hair was untied, but he was sitting neatly on the side of the bed, with a little tiredness on his face.

Tong Run tidied up the toiletries, looked at his highness with loose hair, and laughed in his heart, and only then did his highness look like a woman.On the surface, he did not reveal his expression, and said in a brisk voice: "Do you want to rest for a while, Your Highness, it's still early."

"No." Sima Huai lifted his long hair from his temples and rubbed his temples.He got up and picked up the red lacquer box on the table, and handed it to Tong Run, "Ah Run, tell Lin Cang to set off immediately and send the star thorn grass to Lu Yunqi in Yangzhou, and then go back to Suzhou directly."

He said again: "Get ready and go to Luozhou."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Not long after, Sima Huai finished tidying up and opened the door. Tong Run was the only one waiting outside. It must be that Lin Cang had already set off, so she nodded in satisfaction.Tong Run looked at Sima Huai's current appearance, and swept away the previous despondent look. Her hair was tied in a jade crown, her light-colored pupils shone with a cold color, and she was dressed in black to further accentuate her cold aura. Surprise Lin knife.With a hint of imperceptible evil spirit, it is dangerous and makes people yearn for it.

Tong Run smiled wryly in his heart, how many women's hearts will be provoked by the temperament of his highness!Thinking about it, I felt a little worried in my heart, this involuntary, what about the future of His Highness...?

"Arun? What are you thinking? Let's go!." Sima Huai didn't know what Tong Run was thinking, and couldn't help reminding him when he saw Tong Run in a daze.

"Ah? Ah! Yes, Your Highness." Tong Run, who came back to his senses, secretly decided that even if His Highness was involuntary in his life, he would follow him to the death.

···

On the official road ten miles away from Luozhou.

A long convoy is heading towards Hongyun Temple.Although it was a convoy, it was divided into two parts. The female family members of Duke Song's family lined up in front of the convoy, and the family members of Chu Shilang's family lined up behind.

In the Chu family's carriage.

"Mother, why don't you go to Faleng Temple in Shengjing, why come to Hongyun Temple in Luozhou?" Chu Chunxi asked coquettishly, leaning on his mother Lou.

"How can you not agree to Mrs. Song Guogong's invitation? I heard that the daughter of Song Guogong's family is also in your academy. Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity..."

"Okay, mother, I understand. But why bring Chu Chunyuan and her mother with me, it's bad luck to think about it." Chu Chunxi pouted impatiently.

Not only was Lou not angry when she heard her daughter's unreasonable words, she even smiled and stretched out a finger to tap Chu Chunxi's forehead, "You."

"Hmph, that's it." Chu Chunxi's round and cute little face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Don't say any more, so as not to be heard by others." Chu Lou reached out and scratched Chu Chunxi's little nose to appease her daughter's dissatisfied emotions.

Then he said: "It is reasonable for Mrs. Song Guogong to invite them, we can just wait and see what happens."

"Hey? Wait and see what happens?" Chu Chunxi was in her mother's arms, blinking her eyes, carefully understanding what her mother said, and faintly felt that something was going to happen. Just about to ask again, she was attracted by the pastry that her mother took out of the food box He closed his eyes and forgot about the questioning.

Lou Shi looked at her daughter's greedy cat eating cakes, with a loving smile on her lips, her eyes shifted slightly, as if she was staring at something through the window, the flash of cruelty in her eyes revealed the ferocity in her heart.

In another carriage of the Chu family.

"Why did mother accept the invitation of Mrs. Song Guogong?" A gentle and clear voice sounded.

"If you think about it, the day is coming soon. I plan to go to Hongyun Temple in Japan these few days. In addition, Mrs. Guo's kindness is hard to refuse, so I agreed. It's really not good to touch her face again."

After hearing what his mother said, Chunyuan's mood was a little depressed, and he sat there without saying a word.

"Mother knows that you have always disliked them." Chu Chunyuan's mother, Pei Yun, could not know what her daughter was thinking.

Too many things have happened in these years. Six years ago, the dog army attacked the border of the Great Wei Dynasty. Chunyuan’s father, General Chu Zhen, died for the country. The bad news was sent back to the Chu family in Shengjing. , was deeply depressed, and died a year later.

Pei Yun lost her husband, and Chun Yuan lost her father and grandmother.In the past few years, the mother and daughter have been keeping filial piety for Chu Zhen and the old lady Chu in the ancestral house of the Chu family in Yanzhou.Only returned to Shengjing last year. In just a few years, the Chu family has changed. Before the old lady was still alive, Pei Yun, the eldest son's wife, was in charge of the family. Now it is Chu Fan, the third son of the Chu family. The situation of orphans and widows is naturally not very good.

"Mother, why did you go to Hongyun Temple as mentioned earlier?" Chu Chunyuan remembered what his mother had mentioned before.

"Of course it's to pray for marriage and safety." Pei Yun took Chu Chunyuan's slightly cool hand to comfort his daughter, not knowing that she was quite worried.

"Marriage?" Chu Chunyuan looked up at his mother in surprise.Before going to Hongyun Temple, my mother never mentioned this matter.Chunyuan is 15 years old this year. In Dawei, it's time to talk about marriage at this age.Because he was still in the filial piety period, Pei Yun hadn't thought about these things before, but after returning to Shengjing this time, his daughter had already passed the age of filial piety, so he thought about going to Hongyun Temple.

"Yeah, Yuan'er is old enough, it's time to think about it." Pei Yun's eyes were slightly worried and doting.Seeing her daughter's appearance becoming more and more outstanding, she felt extremely uneasy in her heart. First, she thought of what the former empress had mentioned to her, and then thought of the Cui family, alas...

When Chun Yuan saw his mother staring at him, two blushes suddenly appeared on his face, and he said angrily, "Mother."

Pei Yun came back to his senses, seeing Chun Yuan's appearance, his heart tightened, and he asked, "Is Yuan'er the son of Prime Minister Cui's family?"

When Chun Yuan heard his mother mentioning Cui Qishan, the blush on his face became more intense, but he bit his lower lip lightly and remained silent.The two have known each other since they were young, and after returning from the filial piety in Yanzhou, Cui Qishan took good care of her, which made her hazy heart turbulent, and something faintly sprouted in her heart, which could not be explained clearly.There seems to be a brother-sister relationship, but when you think about it carefully, there is a trace of sour emotion.

Seeing that her daughter was silent, Pei Yun knew that her daughter had a crush on Cui Qishan.Although it has not risen to the love between men and women, it is only one step away.Seeing the way that young master of the Cui family treats Yuan'er on weekdays, I'm afraid he has already made up his mind.With a sigh in my heart, the worry in my heart deepened, and time is fate.She raised the curtain and looked at Luozhou City, which was close at hand, and could only pray secretly in her heart.

············

It was evening when Sima Huai and Tong Run arrived in Luozhou City.

"Stay overnight in Luozhou today." Sima Huai twisted his stiff neck, glanced at Tong Run, and seemed to say that you are satisfied now.

On the way to Luozhou, Tong Run kept nagging in Sima Huai's ear, hearing that there are delicious places and where is the most fun, his eyes were full of excitement.It’s no wonder that Tong Run was so excited. When he was young, he was sent to the palace as a servant because of his poor family. Due to multiple reasons of his body and personality, life in the palace was not easy. After some incidents, he came to Sima Huai’s side to become King Ning’s As a personal servant, the treatment gradually improved. Later, he followed the young Sima Huai to Suzhou. The location of Suzhou is destined to be not as prosperous as Luozhou.

When he arrived in Luozhou, he didn't have official duties, so he was naturally happy, so now he couldn't hide the unique excitement of a teenager.

Luozhou has been called "the middle of the world" by the Chinese ancestors since ancient times.The Great Wei used Shengjing as its capital, and Luozhou as its accompanying capital, had a very important economic and cultural status, and its prosperity was comparable to that of Shengjing. In Luozhou, there were many "students", businessmen and monks who came from abroad.I am used to seeing deserts and rocks in Suzhou, and looking at the bustling scene of Luozhou City, Sima Huai also felt a lot more relaxed.

"Your Highness, we must find a better inn to live in this time. Yesterday's bed was too hard." Tong Run looked at his Highness pitifully.

Riding horses all the way from Suzhou to Shengjing, I only rested for one night on the wooden bed in Tianchang Temple the day before yesterday.The combined exhaustion tormented both of them.His Highness has the same board and lodging as him, and there is very little rest time in Suzhou. Tong Run was worried about her, so he said what he said just now.

Sima Huai glanced at him, Your Highness?Luozhou is prosperous and full of people, why does this guy keep forgetting?

Seeing His Highness's eyes, Tong Run instantly understood, covered his mouth, quickly looked around, checked, found nothing unusual, immediately said with a smile: "My lord~"
