The Queen of Destiny: The King's Side

At that time, the entire imperial palace was still immersed in sleep, and the occasional beating sound made it even more quiet and solemn.The sky above the imperial palace is full of stars twinkling like a vast sea of ​​stars, and countless ancient legends are slowly flowing.

Xixian and Xuechun stood outside the gate of Zhangqing, stomping their feet to keep warm from time to time. It was the eve of dawn in early spring that they still hadn't escaped the cold of winter.

"It's Mao time, why hasn't anyone come to pick us up yet?" Xue Chun was already shivering from the cold, because she was too excited last night, she and Xi Xian couldn't sleep and talked all night, and Chou Shi came in a hurry Go to Zhangqing gate and wait.

Xi Xian took her hand and rubbed it a few times and said, "Don't worry, we just arrived at Maoshi, maybe we'll be here soon."

Xuechun put on a bitter face, and chopped off her feet a few times, "I knew it was so cold, so I lay in bed for a while longer. How can this be like spring? We in Ningguo are already wearing unlined clothes at this time!"

Xi Xian lightly scraped the bridge of Xuechun's nose, "It's not all your fault, I was so anxious a long time ago, if I hadn't stopped you, maybe you would have come out and waited when you were born."

Xuechun pouted, with an aggrieved and regretful look, "What should we do now? Don't wait for the carriage and we'll be frozen to death first, or let's kick the right feet to keep warm."

"Okay!" Putting down the small package in their hands, the two played kicking each other in front of the solemn Zhangqing Gate, muttering, "Kicking each other, kicking each other, adding new clothes on New Year's Eve ???"

Not long after, the sound of rutting was faintly heard in the distance, Xi Xian and Xue Chun quickly picked up the package, staring at the carriage at the end of the darkness and slowly approaching.

The little eunuch who was driving jumped out of the carriage, bowed to them and said, "Please get in the carriage!" Then he stood aside with his head bowed, unable to see his face clearly in the night.

Xi Xian and Xue Chun sat in the carriage nervously, always feeling that the atmosphere was a bit weird.

The carriage started steadily, Xue Chun lifted a corner of the curtain, and caught a glimpse of the little eunuch standing silently in the original position just now, and the driver changed at some point.

Shrinking back into the carriage, Xuechun looked at the decoration inside the carriage with some anxiety, "Princess, why do I feel that they are mysterious, are they the people sent by the emperor to pick us up?"

"It's okay, don't be nervous." Xi Xian patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, "Ms. Zhaoyuan told me that the emperor is going to travel in secret this time, and no one can know the exact time and route of leaving the palace. Naturally, we can't reveal it either. whereabouts."

After an unknown amount of time, there were gradually sounds outside, and a ray of morning light shone through the cracks in the curtain, dispelling the tense atmosphere just now.

As the carriage moved forward, the noises outside became louder and louder, as if she had come to a market, with all kinds of hawking sounds in her ears, and Xi Xian was overwhelmed when she heard it. This was the first time in her life that she had come into contact with such a real life. , different from the dull text in the book, and even more different from the boring narrative of others.

Xi Xian raised the side curtain excitedly and looked out, but she couldn't look back after this look, and saw a wide variety of goods on the side of the road, all of which she had never seen before, and people had different expressions. Different bargaining, full of active atmosphere.

Putting down the side curtain, Xixian calmed down, eager to find someone to share with, but found that Xuechun looked out more excitedly than herself.

"Why are you so happy? Didn't you live like this before entering the palace?"

Xuechun couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, turned around and grabbed her hand and said, "It's because I have lived that I miss it even more. Life in the palace is boring and restrictive. It's not as free as outside. You don't have to worry about being punished for making mistakes, and you don't have to go around everywhere." Watch out for others."

Xi Xian's expression darkened, "Yeah, I really envy you for living in such an environment."

Seeing her displeasure, Xuechun suppressed his excitement and said, "Actually, it's not as good as I imagined. I have to worry about money every day, and I have to work very hard to fill my stomach. In the palace, I don't have such worries."

Not wanting to spoil Xuechun's good mood, Xi Xian pushed open the side curtain with her backhand, pointed to the street stalls and asked, "What are these things? Why don't I know them?"

"Of course you don't know it. These are things used by ordinary people. How could there be them in the palace?" Xue Chun explained the same thing, often before explaining clearly, Xi Xian saw other novel things. On the way down, I have a little understanding of everything.

As the sun climbed up slowly, the carriage gradually warmed up, and after leaving the city, there was nothing new about the green fields and green hills. The master and servant, who hadn't closed their eyes all night, became sleepy and fell asleep cuddling each other.

After an unknown amount of time, the two of them were awakened by a violent jolt. Xuechun opened the curtain and found that she seemed to have walked into a forest. The dense trees covered the top of her head, and only sporadic and mottled sunlight could be seen through. He wanted to ask the coachman, but found that the driver was no longer the same person he was before they fell asleep.

Xuechun retreated into the carriage and told Xi Xian of her doubts. Xi Xian shook her hand as a gesture of comfort, leaned over and got out of the carriage, "Dare to ask this little brother, what kind of territory is this? How long do we have?" Can we get to the scheduled place?"

The man driving the car didn't look back, but said coldly, "Miss, you don't need to ask any more questions, you will be there when it's time."

Hearing that person call herself Miss, Xi Xian immediately understood that he might not know her true identity, so she didn't say much, and sat in the car with Xuechun in silence.

Not long after, the carriage stopped slowly, and the man driving the car lifted the curtain, "We're here, miss, please get out of the car."

Xue Chun jumped out of the car first, and helped her down, and saw that there was an open space, a tall horse was tied to a tree on one side, and a larger carriage was parked beside it, but there was no one there.

Xue Chun wanted to ask a few more questions, but the man who was driving quickly jumped into the carriage and ran away without thinking.

"What's the situation? Why do I feel like we were abandoned in the wilderness."

Xi Xian also looked around nervously, wondering if there would be any beasts in this mountain, and while looking around, she suddenly found that there were two people looking at them by the shimmering stream not far away.

Pulling Xuechun forward, she saw clearly that the two people beside the stream were Yuwen Haoxuan and Liu Maolin, but they were all dressed in ordinary clothes, not as serious as in the palace.

Yuwen Haoxuan looked at them with a smile, his sharp-edged face lost a bit of firmness, and more of the gentleness that ordinary people should have. Liu Maolin no longer bowed and stood behind him, although he was still dressed like a servant, But there was no sign of humility in his expression.

Xi Xian stepped forward and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Yuwen Haoxuan and said, "Since I am out of the palace, I am no longer the emperor. Remember that my surname is Wen, and my name is Wenxuan. Liu Maolin is my servant, so you all pretend to be the emperor." If you call me young master as a maid, everyone will regard these as true."

"Yes, young master!" Xuechun replied wittily, indicating that he has entered the state.

Yuwen Haoxuan nodded in satisfaction, and looked at the carriage not far away, "There are prepared clothes on the carriage, you go and change. Although your outfit looks ordinary, you can still see some traces of the palace."

Xi Xian and Xue Chun changed into the clothes in the carriage according to their words. Although they were not as gorgeous and exquisite as the palace clothes, they were also high-quality clothes among the people. Without the cumbersomeness of the palace clothes, they were more refreshing.

Seeing that they were ready, Yuwen Haoxuan flew on the horse and said, "Let's go, we may not be able to get out of this forest tonight, we have to find a safe place to sleep."

When she heard that she was going to sleep in the open, Xi Xian felt a little apprehensive, but was soon overwhelmed by the novelty. During this half day, she accepted too many things that she could not imagine before, which completely overturned her previous understanding of the world. Know.
