Xu Jing's confusion and fragility were only willing to be revealed in front of Zhao Xiyan for a moment.
When the convoy stopped and the soldiers were feeding the horses and resting, Xu Jing also got off the carriage and appeared in front of people, looking high-spirited again.
This time when he went to the capital, all of Xu Jing's personal soldiers came with him. The King of Beihai also gave most of his own soldiers to Xu Jing. Therefore, there were a total of 500 personal soldiers accompanying him this time.
These private soldiers are all young, powerful and highly skilled. They have three horses per person and excellent bows and arrows. Each one of them can be as good as ten.
Even if the convoy stretches for a long time and is so fat that it makes people drool, the gangsters would not dare to think about it.
Censor Meng was also a little thirsty and ordered his servant to make tea.
A pretty maid came with a smile and said: "Slave Haitang, on the order of the young lady, bring some good tea to Mr. Meng. Please taste it, Mr. Meng."
Censor Meng happily accepted it.
He still hated the domineering and difficult Crown Prince of Beihai. However, he had a good impression of the future Crown Princess of Beihai, Miss Zhao Liu.
Everyone talks about their own affairs, there is nothing wrong with that.
When the hot water rushes into the tea cup, the tea leaves stretch out, the tea is green and clear, and the tea fragrance is overwhelming. It is the best Biluochun.
Yeah, good tea.
After walking for another hour, towards evening, we stopped at the post house to make arrangements.
The identity of the Prince of Beihai was very useful in Qingzhou. In addition, Xu Jing spent a lot of money and received generous silver rewards. Everyone in the post house tried their best to welcome him and cleaned up the three best courtyards. Meng Yushi lived in one.
Xu Jing and Zhao Xiyan each live in the same place.
Meng Yushi paid special attention and watched Xu Jing and Zhao Xiyan go to their respective places, and then he felt relieved. After all, they were just an unmarried couple, and they had to avoid suspicion when they were traveling together.
...Meng Yushi didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with him worrying about this.
Meng Yushi, who rested peacefully, naturally didn't know that Prince Beihai was very skilled and was best at climbing over walls. After everyone fell asleep, Xu Jing quietly came to Zhao Xiyan's yard.
Hosta and Begonia stayed by the master's side and refused to leave, looking at Xu Jing as if they were wary of thieves.
Xu Jing was serious: "Why do you look at me like this? I just came to see sister Yue Yaer and I will be leaving in a moment. Am I the one who will act recklessly regardless of common etiquette?"
Of course it is, it must be!
Hosta and Begonia nodded in unison.
Xu Jing didn't blush at all and grinned: "She is indeed a maid trained by Sister Yue Ya'er. She is quite knowledgeable and has a precise vision."
Zhao Xiyan was amused and said softly: "I will say a few words to the Crown Prince, and you two will go and guard the door."
The master gave the order personally, and Jade Hosta and Begonia reluctantly withdrew.
After arriving and standing a few meters outside the door, Haitang whispered: "Sister Yuhan, we have to keep a close eye. Although the young lady and the prince are engaged, we can't just..."
Haitang was embarrassed to say the next words.
Hosta whispered: "The prince seems to be acting ridiculously, but he actually knows better and won't do anything he shouldn't do. Think about it, has the prince ever hurt the young lady in these years?"
Of course not.
The domineering, willful and mischievous prince has always been obedient to the young lady.
Haitang was quietly relieved.
…
Xu Jing really didn't mess around. The most he could do was hold sister Yue Yaer's soft hand and kiss her delicate and pretty face.
Zhao Xiyan's cheeks were slightly red and she glared at him.
Xu Jing became honest, sat up straight and asked in a low voice: "You have been traveling for half a day today, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired." Zhao Xiyan said with a smile: "Sitting in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window, or reading a book and playing chess scores. It took half a day."
"It's a pity that the food is not good enough." Xu Jing muttered: "It's not suitable to open the stove when I'm on the road, so I can only eat some cooked food."
It's okay not to mention it. When it comes to this matter, Zhao Xiyan has the urge to rub her forehead: "You have the nerve to say it! Just eat something simple on the way, but you have to set up the table and chairs. There are more than 20 dishes of cooked food on the table.
.Didn’t you see that Meng Yushi’s face turned black with anger?”
That look in his eyes was clearly looking at a villain who feeds on people's wealth.
Xu Jing didn't take it seriously: "I ate my own food and didn't use the money in the treasury. What should he be excited about? In my opinion, he just eats carrots and doesn't worry. A censor really regards himself as the savior of the world."
I surrender."
"In the more than two hundred years of the Jin Dynasty, there were internal and external troubles, banditry, the emperor was fatuous, and the officials were immoral. How could he, Meng Xi Zhi, be the only one able to turn the tide?"
Others thought Xu Jing was an embroidered pillow.
In fact, Xu Jing is not only beautiful on the outside, but also sharp and sharp on the inside. It's just that he has been hiding for many years and deliberately hidden it. No one can see this side.
Zhao Xiyan sighed softly: "No matter what, he is always a good official who is loyal and loves the people. He is not deliberately hostile to you."
Well, Meng Yushi hated all feudal princes and princes equally.
Xu Jing thought of Meng Yushi's indignant look and couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Anyway, he'd better not take the initiative to provoke me. Otherwise, I can't blame him for being so angry."
Zhao Xiyan laughed.
After chatting for a while, there was a heavy cough outside the door.
"This Hosta, I've never seen her so anxious before when I stayed in your yard for a long time." Xu Jing was a little dissatisfied.
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled: "You are in the post house now, and you are not familiar with the place. You have never had a good reputation, so Hosta is naturally afraid."
Under the candlelight, Zhao Xi's face was smiling and her face was bright.
Xu Jing's throat was a little dry, but he didn't dare to get really close. He calmed down silently for a moment, and then said: "I have to get up early tomorrow, so you should go to bed early."
Zhao Xiyan blushed for some reason and hummed softly.
The room suddenly became quiet, with only two red faces and a pounding heartbeat.
"Then...I'm leaving!" Xu Jing's voice was strangely hoarse, but his feet did not move.
Zhao Xiyan lowered her eyes and refused to look at him: "Well, let's go!"
Xu Jing felt a surge of heat in him, as if a beast was scurrying in his chest, as if it was about to burst through his chest.
Fortunately, he endured it in the end.
If they don't get married for a day, they can't overcome it. Sister Yue Yaer is the person he wants to cherish and cherish for the rest of his life. He can't hurt her rudely.
"I'm really leaving." Xu Jing suddenly turned around and left.
The door was pushed open and closed gently.
Only then did Zhao Xiyan raise her eyes and look at the closed door. The solid door in her heart seemed to be quietly opened.
The unbearable circumstances in her previous life made her full of fear and hatred towards things between men and women. She hated all men.
Since her rebirth, the only men who can really get close to her are her biological father Zhao Yuanming and her little sweetheart Xu Jing.
She has always had unspeakable hidden worries in her heart. She is afraid that when the wedding ceremony is held, she will be afraid of Xu Jing's closeness.
Now it seems that I am worrying too much...
"Why is the lady's face so red?" Haitang muttered softly as he pushed the door open.
Zhao Xiyan cleared her throat: "It's getting late, let's take a rest!"
