The dark-bellied prime minister's cute wife

Chapter 299 Licheng Bamboo Raft Ferryman

Three days later, Princess Ronghe was ordered to go out, and the young emperor and queen watched the mighty procession from the tower to see her off.

In the front are several imperial guards on fast horses, and in the middle is Princess Ronghe's extravagant carriage. The nobleman in the carriage is covered with a gauze to cover his lava, and a pair of jade hands are superimposed on his chest. The pearl tassel on the forehead just kept swinging as the carriage moved.

Falling down to the carriage, the golden light became more dazzling with the sunlight, and the ground passed an unusually beautiful carriage. The carriage was surrounded by luxurious silk, and a light blue curtain blocked the outside, isolating those The desire of the people to see its style.

Just the trip of Ronghe Princess made everyone astonished, the current Emperor's love for her is really unparalleled in the sky.

A group of people walked out of the city gate in a mighty manner, and the people who were watching dispersed in all directions.

The painting stalls in the market stared in this direction for a long time, and suddenly the corners of his lips curled up, as if he already knew the comprehensive method Su Yunbo said to protect her, and this way of diverting the tiger away from the mountain was really clever.

When Zhijing came out, he saw Yan Ke's eyes drifting away with the trace of the carriage, and a trace of bitterness appeared in his heart again.That was Mo Manruo's carriage, even though the status of the two of them was very different at the moment, it didn't affect her in A Ke's heart at all, did it?
Walking towards Yan Ke, he called softly: "A Ke..."

Yan Ke withdrew that gaze, his eyes suddenly withdrew the brilliance just now, and his faint eyes glanced at the painting, as if the scene just now had never happened.

Seeing him like this, Zhijing also wanted to convince herself that his heart was here, but he could no longer deceive himself.

Walking over, put away the bitterness and put on a smile, and handed over the teacup in his hand: "Ake... drink some water."

Seeing her coming forward, Yan Ke took two steps back slightly to widen the ambiguous distance between them, his voice was still faint: "I'm not thirsty, you are not well, go back to the house."

His small movements were seen by the weaving mirror, tears welled up in his eyes, he turned and walked back, a tear dripped into the teacup like that, but it was no one else's fault.Ake's estrangement from himself is what he asked for.Who else can I blame myself...

It's just that I can't think about it, I can't let it go, I feel that there will be opportunities by his side, but this day has passed, and even the last hope in my heart has been shattered. All this at this moment seems to be just instinctive persistence. .Because I can't bear that the two of them can only become polite people from now on, and I want to fight for my own happiness. Since I was wrong at the beginning, then I will go to atone for my sin at this moment.

Thinking of Zhijing like this, he pushed open the door and put the teacup on the table, and suddenly remembered that the sleeves of Yan Ke's clothes when he came back that day, he hurried in and rummaged through the clothes.

He took out his needle and thread, leaned against the window and sewed in the dim light, it seemed that only in this way could he deceive himself, that he and he were always the first to get along, make soup for him, sew for him, at that time I was the happiest, but that happiness was ruined by myself...

Thinking that the needle was stabbing in the wrong direction, he took out his hand and stabbed a small hole in the index finger, but blood was continuously overflowing.

How can you be so careless?I laughed suddenly, remembering that it was the same when I and Ake were in the prime minister's mansion. At that time, Ake's words were full of blame, but the movements of his hands were indeed extremely gentle. Putting that finger on into his mouth, sucked the overflowing blood for himself, and never let himself touch a needle and thread again, just because he felt sorry for his few drops of blood.

But now... Looking back at the clothes he was sewing in his hands, now he just wants to fulfill his duty as a wife for her, but it has become a luxury.

I closed my eyes to drive away the disappointment in my eyes, and opened them again full of longing, Ake... It's still a long time, I will definitely let you accept me.

But it is doomed, some people can only become the past, the most true love is infatuation, the most hurtful is unfeeling, but she has been hurt time and time again but she still can't forget her love.

At this moment, the three of them came to the river bank and waited for the boatman who was coming on the water.

Looking at the two of them, Tian Lanshan smiled suddenly: "You say, what will they do if they find out that the ostentatious princess is a fake?" I really admire Su Yunbo's bad idea and also think about it When he came out, he also asked Brother Huang to send those guards from the Imperial Forest Army to accompany him in acting.

Huang Changqing's injuries were already recovering, and he looked at her smiling face before answering: "I'm afraid they sacrificed a large number of killers, and even made a futile effort." The imperial forest army of the fake princess is all good, it seems that this time the emperor is also Prepare to wipe out those killers in one go.

Seeing the two of them, Xintao smiled, others didn't know, but she knew that Mrs. Su must have listened to the Prime Minister's order before going to talk to the emperor about it, she glanced at Tian Lanshan, In fact, Master Xiang still cares about His Highness very much.

The boatman was also shaking the bamboo raft to the shore at the moment, and when he saw the three of them, he asked, "Where are you going?" The movement of the bamboo raft is very skilled, it seems that it has been done for a long time.

Glancing at the old man, Huang Changqing stabilized the bamboo raft and let Tian Lanshan and the two get on the boat before going up: "You can take us to Licheng."

The old man nodded, and with the bamboo pole propped up to the stone on the shore, the bamboo raft turned around, and the old man came to the front and began to support it.

The sparkling river is surrounded by beautiful places, which are even more beautifully depicted by the trees.

Walking along the small river, you can even see the morning dew on the leaves, the water droplets are shining golden in the sun, and the grass and trees on the hillside are completely renewed, adding a touch of color to the already beautiful paradise.

The old man was quite talkative, seeing the friendly faces of the three of them, he opened up the conversation: "Look at the three of you dressed up like you are going to travel far away."

Or seeing his amiable face, Tian Lanshan smiled: "Yes, we are going to visit friends far away." Seeing such a beautiful scenery, she took a deep breath and felt very relaxed in her heart.

"Then you have to pay attention. It's been a bit uneasy recently. Wu Er, who was punting the boat that day, was robbed by someone. As long as the property didn't hurt people's lives, the thief looked at these two girls. Delicate, you have to protect the young master." The old man saw that the two of them did not look like ordinary people, fearing that they would kindly remind them if they encountered thieves, and those thieves would not only rob property, but would even take those beautiful women back by force.

Hearing these words, Tian Lanshan frowned, and Huang Changqing on the side quickly asked, "I don't know where the thief is so arrogant?"

The old man sighed: "I don't know, but their approach is somewhat similar to that of Crouching Tiger Village in Lingshan, Jiangzhou."

"Crouching Tiger Village..." Huang Changqing whispered softly, could it be that this matter has something to do with that Director Zhou?Otherwise, with the strength of Jiangzhou's troops, how could those thieves be allowed to come to Licheng to do such a thing?

Then he continued to ask as if he remembered something: "This thief is so rampant, could it be that the local officials don't care about it?"

Hearing this, the old man knew that he must have misunderstood, so he said: "The magistrate of Licheng is a good official. After learning about this, he sent people here to suppress the bandits, but the bandits seemed to disappear out of thin air. , appearing and disappearing all of a sudden, so that the magistrate of the county doesn’t know what to do? I can only play a note on the officials above, but there is no response at all.” Thinking of this, the old man sighed: “Now everyone The people are in panic, this is because many boatmen have been forced to go home to farm one by one, and I am too old and have no relatives at home, but I don’t care, so I want to come out to earn some in exchange for a living.”

Seeing him like this, Tian Lanshan also felt that the old man in front of him was a bit pitiful. All the old men he saw in Jinling and the capital were supported by his children and grandchildren to enjoy his old age. How could this old man have no one to support him?Thinking of this, he frowned and asked, "Old man, don't you have any descendants in your family?"

The old man was stunned when he mentioned this, and his expression became a little sad, but he still answered her words: "I had a son, but he went to join the army the year before last and never came back. The old woman died of illness last year, and now a son People are bored at home, so why not go out on the ferry and chat with people." Said here, he put away the sadness in his heart, looked at the three people in front of him and smiled: "Don't dislike me for being talkative."

Tian Lanshan saw that his smile was very bitter, and she didn't say anything, but just smiled and said: "What is the old man talking about? This boat ride is boring, and it's boring to watch this beautiful scenery all the time. If you can It would be nice to have someone to chat with to relieve boredom."

Huang Changqing glanced at her, eyes filled with admiration and said, "Yes, after all, we should thank you, old man, if you hadn't kindly reminded us to pay attention to that thief, we would not have known that Licheng is also a dangerous place .”

The old man, who was still smiling after hearing Tian Lanshan's words, quickly waved his hands after listening to Huang Changqing's words: "My lord, this is a mistake, Licheng is only a bit worrying about the ferry place, but in Licheng, it is managed. It is extremely strict and there are very few fights, let alone robbery by thieves."

After hearing what he said, Xintao nodded with a smile: "I think the magistrate is a good official, so he can regulate the management of that county."

Hearing these words, the old man stroked his white beard and smiled: "Haha, yes, that lord is really a good official, and the common people love him very much. It's a pity that the lord is not familiar with official etiquette, so he delays It would be a pity not to be promoted."

Hearing what he said, Tian Lanshan and the others looked at each other, smiled and did not speak. If the county magistrate is really a powerful person, wouldn't it be a good story for them to help?
