After coming out of Yipinju, Zi Su got into the carriage and took out a silver-white jade-patterned brocade cloak to put on Qing Wan: "Miss, the wind has picked up, it's cold outside, be careful of freezing."
As if to confirm Zi Su's words, a gust of cold wind passed by, and the half-yellow leaves rustled down. Qing Wan looked at the withered yellow leaves all over the street, and then realized that winter had already entered unknowingly.
Nearly three months have passed since she was divorced and left the palace.
Many things happened in the past three months. For example, Ji Chenxue and Liu Pinting got engaged, and the old emperor and Ji Lanjin made some unknown deal in private. The fourth prince was actually returned to the palace.
And the news that the leg disease was cured also spread like wildfire.
Furthermore, the war on the border has stabilized. Although the fifth prince is a bit impatient, he is somewhat capable. Although he suffered several losses because he underestimated the enemy at the beginning, he later calmed down a bit.
, the enemy could no longer find relief under his hands.
This stalemate lasted for almost two months. Seeing that the weather was gradually getting colder, which was not conducive for the soldiers to continue fighting, the other party temporarily announced the withdrawal of troops. However, judging from the location where the enemy troops were stationed, the other party should not have completely given up attacking the garrison.
will.
After the enemy announced their withdrawal, the fifth prince made several requests to return to the court, but the old emperor vetoed them all on the grounds that he would strictly guard the border to prevent enemy raids.
As for Ji Lanjin, Qingwan has not seen her since she left the palace that day, and there is very little news about her from the outside world. If she had not met Mu Xiangwan today, she would not have known that that person was actually ill.
Already.
What's more, even Mu Liuting was alarmed, and he warned her not to leak it out, because that person must be seriously ill.
When she thought of this, Qing Wan could no longer remain calm. She hurriedly climbed onto the carriage and told the driver: "Go to the palace." After walking a few steps on the carriage, recalling her current identity, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and said: "
Forget it, let’s go to the Plum Grove in Xishan for a walk!”
There is actually nothing to see in the plum forest at this time. Winter has just entered and there is still some time before the plum blossoms bloom. From a distance, they are just a bunch of bare branches with an occasional flower or two, which is not very impressive.
Qing Wan chose to come here just because the place is remote, and the flower season has not yet arrived, so there are not many people here, and the place is relatively quiet. Another point is that the terrain here is relatively high, and you can see things clearly that cannot be seen elsewhere.
landscape.
The carriage stopped at the bottom of the mountain, and Qingwan led the two girls into the plum forest on foot. Knowing that she had something on her mind, the two girls deliberately stayed a few steps behind and kept their mouths shut for fear of disturbing her.
The three of them were walking in the forest. It was extremely quiet around them. They could only hear the rustling sound of their shoes stepping on the withered yellow turf. Occasionally they stepped on some broken branches, and the sound was even louder.
When passing by the pavilion halfway up the Meilin Mountain, I suddenly saw a very familiar figure inside.
Qing Wan's steps paused, and her eyes widened in disbelief. The man's white clothes were as old as ever, adding a bit of color to the desolate world.
The person in the pavilion also heard the sound and turned around slowly. In an instant, tens of thousands of feet of setting sun stood behind him, not only dyeing half of the sky red, but also the entire face of that person.
The scenery is truly picturesque and the beauties are so beautiful.
