"My child, this is the first time I see you. Due to the rush of time, I didn't prepare anything. You can play with this jade bracelet first, and I will make up for it when you come back."
Concubine Jiang said, pulling off a milky white jade bracelet from her wrist and putting it on Yan Shiqing's hand.
Yan Shiqing didn't refuse. After putting it on, she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this Hetian jade bracelet is already very good. If Shiqing can't say it well, then you are greedy. Thank you for the reward!"
At this time Chu Ximo happened to come over and said: "Qingqing, it's almost time to leave! Mother and concubine, we are in a hurry so we can go ahead."
"good!"
Yan Shiqing saw that although Concubine Jiang said yes, she still looked at her belly with reluctance in her eyes. She thought for a while and said, "Ah Mo, while your Majesty is here now, why don't you give the child a nickname first?"
When Concubine Jiang heard this, her eyes lit up: "Okay, okay!"
Although Sun Sun couldn't meet her immediately, the nickname she used was given by her as a grandmother, which was a good idea.
Chu Ximo was busy with various things during this period. If Yan Shiqing hadn't suddenly mentioned this matter, he would have forgotten about it.
"If it's a girl, she'll be called An Ning, and her nickname will be An'an or Ning Ning. If she's a boy, let her father choose her first name, and let her nickname be whatever you like. What do you think it sounds like? What do you think?"
Concubine Jiang had given birth to two sons herself, so she naturally cared about female babies.
Hearing the name An Ning, he nodded with satisfaction: "It's good for the girl to be called An Ning. She will be in peace all the way. As for the boy, I will also give you a nickname after your father. It's still half a year until the baby is born. I will give it to you when the baby is born."
Someone sent you a message."
When Yan Shiqing heard this, she also knew that the royal family valued their son.
Although they seemed to be happy about their daughter, they were not so cautious because they all obtained it by themselves.
But if it was a son, it would be different. Not only did he want the name to be corrected, but he also wanted the emperor to give him a nickname. Some of the meaning of asking the emperor to give the name was that it represented the emperor's importance to the child.
Regardless of whether he is born a boy or a girl in the future, he will still be her Yan Shiqing's child, no matter what.
"Concubine, I will send Qingqing and the others to Huaizhou first, and you will celebrate the New Year with my aunt. When I come back, I will take you and the emperor back to Beijing."
"Okay, go ahead and be safe on the road. Shiqing, remember to take care of yourself. I'm still waiting for you to come back and drink a bowl of your wife's tea!"
The carriages started moving slowly, including one for Chu Ximo and Yan Shiqing, one for Jiang Hongxuan and Dashu, one for Qi Lie and his servant, one for Nanny Huo and Xiaowa Xiaoyun, and four carriages in total.
Heading towards the Huaizhou border.
It was extremely cold in the twelfth lunar month. Even though there was a heater and a quilt in the car, it was still so cold that people shivered when sleeping in the wilderness.
The man has a strong body, so he is not afraid, and Yan Shiqing's carriage is good, and it is okay to have Xiaowa as a heater, but Xiaoyun and Aunt Huo are different.
One of them was in poor health, and the other was old and spoiled, so they had a restless night's sleep due to the cold.
Yan Shiqing was sleeping lightly. When she heard the movement from their side, she said to the little kid: "Little kid, this carriage is big. Go and ask Xiaoyun and Nanny Huo to come over and sleep together. The free one is called Zhong."
They use it."
Uncle Zhong is the coachman of Jiang Yunye's house. This time, in order to allow Yan Shiqing and the others to get to Hongwu Country safely, Huo Yiyi sent him to Yan Shiqing.
Xiaowa looked around the carriage and saw that it was indeed big enough and that Huo Huo and Xiaoyun were thin, so she nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
Chu Ximo and others quickly learned about Yan Shiqing's actions, but they didn't say anything. They just asked the coachmen to sleep in pairs so that they could take turns keeping watch at night.
As soon as Xiaoyun got on Yan Shiqing's carriage, she suddenly found herself alive.
Her carriage was really warm, with no draft at all. The carriage she and Aunt Huo were in always felt like the wind was coming in.
This was okay during the day, but it was uncomfortable at night, it was really cold.
"Go to sleep, we will continue our journey tomorrow morning. Maybe it will be better when we get to Huaizhou, which is closer to the south."
Yan Shiqing said something and then closed her eyes first.
After this incident, Chu Ximo and Yan Shiqing were together every day during the day, and the four masters and servants slept together at night. In this way, they did not arrive in a town until New Year's Eve.
At night, everyone got together to have a simple New Year's Eve dinner and had a solid sleep to celebrate the New Year. They took a day off on the first day of the Lunar New Year and continued on the road on the second day of the Lunar New Year. They didn't arrive in Huaizhou until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Huaizhou only has a small city. Because it is adjacent to the Hongwu Kingdom and the two countries are not connected to each other, there are not many villages underneath it, so there are also few people.
After the group entered the city, they attracted the attention of the border guard. After learning who was inside, they let them go.
"Qingqing, I can only deliver it here. I will take a break at noon and buy all the things I need to buy. After passing the city gate in the afternoon, go straight ahead for twenty miles and you will reach the territory of Hongwu. I
When I'm not with you, you have to remember to take care of yourself and don't make me worry, okay?"
Yan Shiqing was somewhat accustomed to being accompanied by Chu Ximo along the way from Jifeng Town to Huaizhou.
This unexpected person was about to leave, and I suddenly felt empty-hearted and a little uncomfortable.
"good!"
"Take this for self-defense!"
Chu Ximo said, took out a dagger from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her.
Yan Shiqing took the dagger, took it out and looked at it, feeling very happy.
She likes to attack at close range, and a dagger like this is the most suitable for her to use.
"I love so much!"
"As long as you like it, let's go and eat!"
Qi Lie came to this place again, and he felt sour in his heart when he remembered how embarrassed he was when he first came here a few months ago.
Feng Jun knew that he was in a complicated mood and said: "When the master comes again next time, it will definitely be different from now."
"Yeah!" xdw8
Qi Lie responded solemnly, saying that if he goes back this time, his health will be better soon, and he will be able to stand firm in the court.
After everything settled down and the two countries signed a friendly relationship and communicated with each other, the scenery here was completely different, and I would not be as embarrassed as I am now.
Time always flies by quickly, and no matter how reluctant you are to leave, it's always time to separate.
Chu Ximo hugged Yan Shiqing tightly, lowered his head and placed a mark on her eyebrows and red lips: "I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the birth of the child. Wait for me, I will be there!"
The little girl is going to get her haircut in March, and now it is already the first month. There is no time to rush back to Jifeng Town to pick up the concubine and the prince brother back to the capital, and to deal with the accumulated official duties.
Not being able to see her hairpin with his own eyes was a lifelong regret for him.
Thinking of this, Chu Ximo took off the jade pendant he had carried since childhood and handed it to Yan Shiqing: "It's been opened for safety, remember to carry it with you!"
Yan Shiqing knew that he was reluctant to let go, so she said this deliberately. While feeling sad in her heart, she nodded cooperatively: "Okay!"
