The daily routine of wearing a book and abusing literature to cultivate a scholar and Xiaoxianggong

After leaving the southeast province, life on the road was much easier.Xianggong was worried that he would not touch the books for more than a month. After forgetting many things that he had memorized, it would be too late to memorize them again in a hurry before the exam. Therefore, Li Xiaodao played back-drawing games with Xianggong every morning. In this way, homework will not be left behind when you are on the road.

In the afternoon, Xianggong often memorizes or studies articles by himself. After Li Xiaodao takes a nap in the carriage, if he feels bored, he will get out of the carriage, ride on the horse and follow the team for a walk, looking at the scenery and relaxing.

Occasionally, she would go to sit in the carriage of Mrs. Pei and Pei's father and mother, and listen to their stories about what happened in the past.These stories contain not only childhood anecdotes related to Xianggong, but also some past experiences, especially Mrs. Pei told how she entered the palace, and why she went to the barren hills to give birth to Xianggong without telling everyone after she became pregnant.

Hearing Mrs. Pei's story, Li Xiaodao couldn't calm down for a long time. Compared with the home in Baima Village, the palace in the capital is not like a home, it's like a battleground for life and death.

This made her miss even more the days when she was just married, spending leisurely days with her husband in Baima Village, and even dreamed of it several times at night.

Although the journey was hard, fortunately, it was safe and sound.When the team was only a few hundred miles away from the capital, it was another year of cold winter and the twelfth lunar month.

Li Xiaodao wrapped the padded jacket made by his mother and the padded cloak on his body, and also wore padded shoes on his feet, but his hands and feet were still cold in the carriage.

Fortunately, it hasn't snowed yet, otherwise it will be colder and the road will be more difficult to walk.

At noon that day, the team walked to an official road with mountains on one side and farmland on the other. They took a rest on the side of the road, drinking water and eating dry food.

This terrain is on one side of the mountain. Although there are no trees and green shade on the mountain in winter in the north, it is covered by withered grass. It is still very dangerous. It is not suitable to stay, but there are hundreds of miles of road ahead, so I can only stop here to rest.Liu Xin didn't dismount, but kept patrolling the front and back of the team to be more vigilant.

Li Xiaodao ate very fast. Everyone had eaten half of the dry food when she finished eating, and the soldiers still had a short rest time after eating, so they didn't set out so fast, so she greeted her husband after eating and drinking. Then I went to Mrs. Pei and Pei's father and mother's carriage to say hello.

"This red satin makes you look whiter and more beautiful when you wear it." Seeing Li Xiaodao coming, Mother Pei smiled at her and said, "Oh, by the way, you don't know yet, this cloak and those two The pair of shoes were all embroidered for you by Mrs. Pei herself."

Li Xiaodao looked at Pei's mother in surprise, then turned to look at Mrs. Pei, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Ma'am! This flower is so beautifully embroidered!"

Mrs. Pei only nodded with a kind smile, and Mother Pei said again: "Although I can do some needlework, I really can't do it so finely. Look at the flowers embroidered on the satin. There are so many flowers without a single shape." It is repetitive and the colors are beautiful, so it must have taken a lot of work.”

Mrs. Pei smiled and said: "Anyway, I usually have nothing to do when I'm idle in the mansion. I heard that Qi'er started embroidering when she wanted to get married. The embroidering was not in a hurry, and it didn't take much effort. The cloaks are all worn out. Well, when we get to the capital, we can find someone to order some fresh ones."

Li Xiaodao hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No...no need! I still have two cloaks, but the ones I bought are not as good-looking as this one, so I like to wear this one the most!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Pei and Mother Pei in the carriage all laughed.

"Speaking of which, it will be Chinese New Year in a few days. I was fleeing Japanese pirates during the Chinese New Year last year, but I didn't expect to be on my way this New Year." Li Xiaodao sat down in the carriage, sitting next to Mrs. Pei, and put his hands on the small copper stove to keep warm.

"It's nothing. Although I'm on my way to celebrate the new year this year, it's still a small family reunion. Although I haven't seen the prince and princess, but speaking of it, this year's new year... is the happiest I have spent all these years. One year," Mrs. Pei said slowly while keeping warm while looking at Li Xiaodao.

Li Xiaodao smiled sweetly, Madam was right, at least this year, Xianggong finally met his mother, and also knew who his father was.Suddenly she stood up and jumped off the carriage, happily said: "Ma'am, wait a moment, I'll ask my husband to come and sit with me for a while!"

Mrs. Pei hurriedly stopped her: "Oh—no need, let him study hard, he must be nervous at the moment, and it won't be too late to talk about it in detail after the exams and when there is time."

Li Xiaodao smiled and said: "Come here and chat for a while, there is no delay! Besides, my husband is only a few steps away!" After speaking, he walked briskly towards the carriage of her and his husband.

Mrs. Pei smiled and shook her head: "This child..."

But before Li Xiaodao had time to reach the Xianggong, Liu Xin suddenly gave an order: "There is an enemy attack! Get on your horse! Put up a shield on the side of the mountain! Quick!"

Thirty cavalrymen immediately put down the things in their hands, got on their horses neatly, and quickly lined up on the side of the mountain, setting up their shields to protect the two carriages behind them.

Sure enough, as soon as the soldiers set up their shields, dozens of arrows were shot from the mountainside.

According to Liu Xin's experience, there should be about 20 people from the other party.

Concubine Yan really noticed it. I am afraid that the road from here to the capital will not be easy.

"Brother Liu!" Li Xiaodao leaned against the carriage and didn't dare to move. She saw Liu Xin was still riding on the horse and felt that he was very dangerous, so she hurriedly yelled.

"Don't worry! It's okay! If you have a shield, you won't be hurt by stray arrows! Go back to the carriage and keep your head down!" Liu Xin said to Li Xiaodao, then hurriedly turned to Mrs. Pei's carriage, and spoke to the people in the carriage. The three of them shouted: "You guys, please lie down a little lower in the carriage, and be careful not to shoot arrows through the window!"

Mrs. Pei nodded, and hurriedly did the same with Pei's father and mother in the carriage.

Li Xiaodao climbed onto the carriage carefully, only to hear the arrows shot from halfway up the mountain fall on the shields of the cavalry, and there was a dense sound of metal crashing.

"Miss, be careful!" Pei Zhiqi saw Li Xiaodao coming back, and hurriedly pulled her into the carriage, made her lie down on the seat, and then prepared to get off the carriage with the sword in hand.

"Mister!" Li Xiaodao grabbed Pei Zhiqi's sleeve and said worriedly: "Mister, no...it's too dangerous!"

Pei Zhiqi patted her on the shoulder and smiled at her, "Don't be afraid, lady, I will be careful."

"No... no... I'm afraid! And your injury still has some sequelae..." The soldiers had armor on their bodies, helmets on their heads, and even the horses were wearing armor, but Xianggong didn't wear these, it was too dangerous to go down.

I have worked hard to this point, I am afraid that I will become a widow here, Li Xiaodao is very worried.

Pei Zhiqi grabbed his wife's hand and said softly, "I promise, I will return to the carriage safely."

Li Xiaodao stared into Xianggong's eyes, she found that Xianggong's eyes were calm, calm and composed, without any panic, it was a very reassuring look.

She had no choice but to let go of her hand slowly, and said hesitantly, "Okay...okay...then Mr. must be more careful..."

Pei Zhiqi nodded: "Yes, I will", then turned around and jumped off the carriage.

Seeing Pei Zhiqi jumping out of the carriage with the sword in his hand, Liu Xin smiled and said, "The whole team is busy here to protect you, but you are better off, instead of obediently hiding in the carriage to strengthen your defense, instead take the initiative Jumped out of the carriage?"

Pei Zhiqi drew his sword and put himself in a stance, and said with a smile, "Attack is also defense. Brother Liu, be careful, bows and arrows won't work, they're going to rush down the mountain."

Liu Xin pulled out the long whip from his waist, and the whip fell to the ground with a loud noise. He also smiled and said, "Come on! I've been waiting for a long time!"
