The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 524 Jade Pond Wonderland
Yue Fengxiao paused for a moment, and his dull face became more and more unnatural.

"Your Majesty must have told you not to tell me his whereabouts, right?" Jing Li said with her hands behind her back.

Yue Fengxiao bowed and said: "Your Majesty has been kind to me, and she has been very helpful to the development of the Northland. Normally I shouldn't hide anything. However, as a minister, I cannot tell you what the Lord ordered me to do. Please forgive me!" "

"I can't do it either?"

"No!" Yue Fengxiao answered decisively.

Jing Li laughed. No wonder he was a talented person, but he had been subordinated to others for more than ten years and could not get promoted. It was strange that he could be liked by a superior with such an old-fashioned temperament.

"Excellent. You have a stubborn temper and don't know how to adapt. Then work hard to benefit the people under your rule. As long as I am here, I will definitely protect your official position!"

Yue Fengxiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and felt in his heart that the princess's temperament was not inferior to that of the man, but he was a minister. No matter how much he admired the princess, he could not betray the prince.

Jing Li changed the subject: "What is the geography of the North? How are the mountains and rivers distributed? Are there any scenic spots worth visiting? Please tell me about them."

Yue Fengxiao was not familiar with the world, but he was very knowledgeable about the geography of the North. He told Jingli about all the key points and places of interest in detail.

Jingli nodded after hearing this: "So, even though the birch forest is close to the northern border and borders foreign tribes, it is located near the river. I guess the scenery in this autumn is very charming!"

"That's right. I've never been there before. It's said that red leaves are all over the sky, the river is gurgling, and there are deer leaping through the forest. The scenery is extremely intoxicating!" Yue Fengxiao also looked forward to it when he talked about it.

Jing Li and Yue Fengxiao talked about the scenery of the birch forest. The more they talked, the more speculative they became. They wished they could go and enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery right now.

"Your Majesty is going hunting in the birch forest. Do you have any followers?" Jing Li asked abruptly.

"I have never, my lord." Yue Fengxiao suddenly fell silent when he said this, and his face turned red. He knew that he had been tricked by the princess because of his carelessness.

Jing Li smiled crisply and said: "It's not your fault, it's my fault that I'm too cunning. An honest person like you was fooled!"

Jing Li laughed, then she and Cai Yue led their horses out of the government office: "Please put the official affairs in order and read them carefully when the prince and I return."

As soon as the words fell, Jingli and Caiyue Dama disappeared in front of the government office.

Yue Fengxiao was left muttering to himself: "How could the princess be so naughty!"

The birch forest is located on the border of the Northland, in a side courtyard. The temperature here is much higher than that in the Jicheng area. The Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet arrived, and the white air can already be released here.

Standing on the hillside, you can see many camps by the river from a distance, and there are soldiers walking back and forth.

Jing Li was a little surprised. She originally thought that Tantai Lin came here alone, but he actually stationed troops here. What was he going to do?

The general on duty at the camp did not recognize Jingli, but he was very familiar with Caiyue. When he heard that the princess was coming, he hurriedly greeted her, "Your Majesty went out to inspect the border today. I'm afraid he won't come back tonight."

Jing Li squinted her eyes and looked into the distance: "It doesn't matter, you can prepare a tent for me. I will be resting here recently!"

The general was in a bit of a dilemma for a while. The people in the military camp were all men. The princess suddenly came in and the prince was not here yet. He felt a little troubled.

Caiyue ordered: "Let you prepare and arrange it as a prince would. You don't need to worry about anything else!"

When the general saw what Caiyue said, he naturally felt relieved.

After Jingli settled down, she felt that her hair was a little sticky. Thinking of how she had been traveling and sleeping in the open air for several days, her body was really dirty.

But there are all men in this military camp, and she just said that everything should be kept simple, so it is really embarrassing to suddenly have to take a bath.Caiyue saw what she was thinking, "Mother, there is a hot spring not far from here. We can go there and take a dip to relieve our fatigue!"

Jing Li was surprised: "It's cold in winter in the North, but there are hot springs?"

Caiyue said with a smile: "It's strange to say that there is snow all year round on the top of the mountain, and the Moyue River flows down from that mountain, but there is spring water on the mountainside. It is hot all year round with no cool air, and there are green trees around. The flowers are so abundant that it can be called a fairyland in Yaochi.”

"In winter, you can even soak in the hot springs while admiring the snow and flowers. It's really a beautiful scenery in the world, but this place is far away and few people can come here."

When Jingli heard this, she immediately became interested, and while it was still early, she and Caiyue went to the mountainside.

Fortunately, it wasn't too far from the military camp, but the cliff was a bit steep. If they didn't want to go immediately, the two had to climb on foot. They finally reached the place out of breath and tiredness.

At this time, the last trace of the setting sun fell from the sky.

The spring water is bubbling, the water is filled with smoke, and all kinds of unknown wild flowers are blooming all around. The red leaves decorate the mountains, and the green trees are lush and lush. It really lives up to the reputation of Yaochi Wonderland.

Jingli tested the water temperature, and it turned out that the temperature was excellent, slightly higher than the hot springs in Chang'an. However, the temperature here at night was too low, so it was perfect for lying in it.

A snow rabbit happened to pass by and was shot by Cai Yue with an arrow.

Caiyue said to Jingli: "My dear, you soak it first, and I'll start the fire and roast the rabbit. Later we can eat roasted rabbit meat by the pond."

"It's a pity that there is no wine with such beautiful scenery."

Cai Yue regretted why she didn't bring some wine up the mountain just now.

Jing Li looked at her regretful expression and it was a bit funny. There was wine in her space, but it was difficult to take it out at this moment.

Now that it was autumn, there was naturally no shortage of firewood on the mountain. Caiyue lit up a fire across the pond to prevent the ignorant soldiers or foreigners from climbing up the mountain to take a bath, so as not to disturb the empress.

Jingli leaned against the small pool and took out shampoo to wash her hair. She felt that her body could really adapt to the water temperature, so she took off her clothes and slowly immersed herself in the water.

It was a cool night in the mountains. After soaking the whole person in the water, Jingli couldn't help but let out a sigh. It was so comfortable.

The temperature of the water in the pool is suitable, and there is the fresh smell of flowers and green grass and trees next to it. When you look up, you can see the stars and the bright moon. This is completely different from the effect decorated by the craftsmen of Chang'an City.

Looking at the vast sky, people suddenly feel that they are incomparably small. I think it is because the temperature in the mountains is so low that there is no sound of insects.

Except for the occasional crackling sound from the fire lit by Caiyue, everything seemed so quiet and ethereal. Jingli suddenly felt a little sad, feeling like she had been forgotten by the world.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp gaze staring at her vaguely. She felt like a beast waiting for an opportunity, lying in the grass and waiting patiently for its prey.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Jingli's mouth, and then she sank into the water silently.

"1, 2, 3" Jingli thought silently in his heart.

Before she could count to ten, a big hand reached into the water and scooped her up.

Jing Li grabbed the man's arm and pulled him into the water, sinking together to the bottom.
