too affectionate

Chapter 35 Li Wan sets off for Shuzhou!
When she walked out of the palace, Wanyan felt an unprecedented burden on her shoulders, which made the young courtier both excited and nervous.

On the way out of the palace from the Jinluan Hall, Heng Li and Wanyan were both silent in thought, without saying a word.

When he reached the gate of the palace, Heng Li opened his mouth and told Wanyan: "Go home quickly and pack your bags. Don't have too many things, and change into casual clothes. See you outside Jian'an Gate in half an hour. Remember to keep a low profile."

After finishing speaking, Heng Li turned around and got on the carriage parked at the gate of the palace.

"Well, okay." Wanyan was still thinking, and answered casually absent-mindedly.

After finishing speaking, he came back to his senses, trotted to the side of the car, tiptoed into the car and asked tentatively: "My lord, can I take Sapphire with me?"

After a moment of silence, Heng Li's voice came from inside the car: "Let her go with Luan Feng, and go to Beizhen Fusi to find them."

"Understood!" Wanyan was happy to get the approval, she responded excitedly, and hurriedly boarded the carriage and went home.

After returning to the Xuan Mansion, Wanyan didn't dare to delay, she hurriedly rolled up a few clothes and was about to leave.

"Wait." When Wanyan hurried across the front hall, she was stopped by Xuan Ying in a deep voice.

Although her heart was burning with rage, Wanyan still obediently stood in front of Xuanying.

"Father, what do you want to do with your daughter?"

"You are going here because His Majesty wants you to go to the collapse of the Chaling River embankment in Shuzhou." Xuan Ying asked unhurriedly.

"This... yes." Although His Majesty had told him that he must act in secret, her father had obviously guessed it. After a moment of hesitation, Wanyan still graciously admitted it.

"The people involved behind this embankment are not simple, and you can't control them. If you don't want to offend the people above all the time when you first enter the officialdom, you can just follow Heng Li's decision along the way, don't What kind of tricks do you come up with yourself?"

Xuan Ying blew on the teacup in his hand, seemingly casually exhorting.

"Ah?" Wanyan frowned when she heard the words, and couldn't help raising her voice and asked: "It is true that what my father said is beneficial to me, but the collapse of the embankment caused 10,000+ people along the Lingjiang River to lose their homes and become displaced. But it’s a major event that shakes the foundation of the country! Isn’t it the purpose of my trip this time to find out these pests that gnaw at the foundation of the imperial court and give the people an explanation?”

Xuan Ying sneered, and put the tea bowl back on the table, with contempt in her tone that annoyed Wanyan: "What do you think you and Heng Li, two children, can cause? Besides, why did His Majesty send you two Children go, don't you know the meaning behind it?"

In the end, in my father's eyes, I'm just a child who has no skills and got to where I am today by luck.

Wanyan felt a chill in her heart, and a cold light appeared in her eyes,
"My daughter doesn't understand, and I don't dare to speculate on the holy will, but I will follow Master Heng's decision to act. Time is urgent, so my daughter will leave first, and please take care of your father." After Wanyan paid her respects coldly, she quickly left up.

Wanyan always knew that her father was wise and wise and protected himself, and that he was a moderate and tactful official.I don't want to think that the only thing my father cares about is still the black hat on his head when 10,000+ victims are displaced and hungry.
Although she knows that thinking like this is really treasonous, Wanyan still feels that it is really sad that Tianquan Kingdom has such a Zhongshu order that is unwilling or afraid to act.

What kind of official she wants to be, the 15-year-old Wanyan is still not clear.But she knew clearly that she didn't want to and couldn't be an official like her father.

Looking at the back of Wanyan's striding meteor, Xuan Ying sighed deeply, thinking worriedly in her heart: I don't know whether her personality is a blessing or a curse if she enters the officialdom.

Xuan Ying, who is so smart, really can't figure out where Wanyan learned her thoughts of worrying about the country and the people, and taking the world's well-being as her own responsibility.

The surprise brought by Wanyan's entry into an official position has disappeared, replaced by worry.

As soon as Wanyan hurried to the door of the house, she saw her mother, Mrs. Shi, waiting by the door!
As she grows older, Wanyan sees her mother less and less often, and now she may not see her mother once a month.

At this time, seeing my mother waiting at the door to see me off, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart, thinking happily: So although my mother is cold on the face, she still cares about me very much in her heart.

While thinking about it, Wanyan trotted towards her mother overjoyed.

"Mother! Why did you come out? Are you feeling better today?" Wanyan trotted to her mother's side to pay her respects, and asked with concern, a sweet smile filled her face.

Mrs. Shi was dressed in a lotus-colored cloud brocade dress, without any pearls or hairpins on her head, without any makeup on her face, her beautiful eyes were calm, and she had been depressed for many years.

Although Mrs. Shi is more than forty years old, but because she takes good care of her beautiful face, there is no trace of wrinkle on her face, and her skin is smooth and delicate.

At this time, she stood dignifiedly by the door, elegant and pure like a green lotus.

It is not difficult to imagine how graceful such a woman would be when she was young.

"It's better." Mrs. Shi replied coldly, her slightly cold eyes fell on her daughter's face lightly, without any emotion on her face.

In the face of her enthusiasm, her mother never reciprocated any enthusiasm, and Wanyan has long been used to it.

"That's good, that's good." Wanyan said with a little embarrassment, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere between her and her mother who didn't know where to start.

Mrs. Shi didn't care at all that her daughter couldn't find something to say to her, and she stretched out her hand to the maid behind her.The maid immediately put an exquisite peachwood box in Mrs. Shi's hand.

"This is a medicine for [-] days. You must remember to take it every day, and you must not stop. If you have not returned after the [-] days, you must return to Beijing as soon as possible, understand?" Mrs. Shi said lightly, Handed the box to Wanyan.

"Understood, my daughter will definitely remember to take the medicine on time." Wanyan nodded, obediently took the box and put it in her bag.

Seeing Wanyan packed the medicine box with her own eyes, Mrs. Shi didn't say another word, and left with her maid.

Hey... Looking at her mother's back going away, Wanyan sighed softly.

Although she has long been used to her mother's indifference, every time she sees her, Wanyan still has hope in her heart.

On the contrary, every time her full enthusiasm is quickly cooled, Wanyan will still be disappointed for more than ten years.

Wanyan felt sour in her heart.Although I have long been used to it, I still can't accept my mother's indifference.

After 15 years, Wanyan is still eagerly looking forward to her mother giving her even a little bit of love.

Fortunately, before the feeling of disappointment spread, the joy of being able to travel far away dilutes the bad mood.

Wanyan quickly sorted out her mood, and set off again full of energy.

Great Thousand Worlds, here I come!

Wanyan rode her horse and galloped as soon as she left the mansion, but she didn't expect that when she rushed to the gate of Jian'an in a hurry, she still asked Heng Li to wait for a while.

"I'm really sorry, my lord. I wasted some time at home." Wanyan sincerely apologized to Heng Li who had already frowned.

"Let's go." Heng Li didn't delve into it, and got on the horse and was about to set off, Wanyan also hurriedly followed.

After leaving the city gate, Heng Li took Wanyan all the way through the dust, went straight up the commercial road and headed southwest.

It happened to be midsummer in July at this time, and the scenery along the way and as far as the eye could see were all green and lush, and it was a moving scene.

This month is also the peak season for the trade of melons, fruits, fresh vegetables, grain, rice, oil and noodles, so the traffic on the commercial roads is like a flowing water and horses, and pedestrians come and go in an endless stream.

This scene of picturesque scenery and passers-by of all shapes and colors is really busy for Wanyan's eyes. While trying to keep up with Heng Li, she looks around and wishes to see everyone and every scene.

And riding a horse in the green mountains and green waters like this is a thing that makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

This is the second time Wanyan has been out of Kyoto in more than ten years, and the last time she followed Heng Li to arrest He Yuan, she really didn't have much experience.

So this trip is really new for Wanyan, she can always find many interesting things from commonplace things, and the surprise in her little mouth never stops.

In the first two hours, I kept sharing my "strange knowledge" with Heng Li (sharing with the cold-faced Raksha is better than holding it alone).

"Wow! My lord, look quickly! Look, there is a duck in the river! This duck is so fat!"

"Not as fat as you."

"My lord, my lord! Look at the shape of the mountain on the right. Turn your head to look at it. Does it look like a kitten tickling?"

"Like a kitten scratching you."

"Ah, my lord, guess, is that old man with winking eyes the girl's husband? Or his father? Or his grandfather?"

"It's your uncle."

Wanyan didn't listen to a word of Heng Li's short and...friendly answer, she was obsessed with looking for new and interesting things to share.

By the time Wanyan's physical fatigue gradually overwhelmed her spiritual joy, the two of them had already left the busy streets of Beijing and rushed to the sparsely populated mountain road.The sun has also tilted from the center to the west, and the scorching sun at noon is now spreading warm brilliance, leaving a comfortable light and shadow in the shadow of the forest.
