Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 72

Su Qing didn't sleep well all night.

Now it was the high water season in early summer, and the big boat was going faster along the current, and the sound of waves beating against the side of the boat overnight made her unable to sleep at all.

She wanted to fall asleep several times but was awakened again. After repeated several times, she kept her eyes open until dawn.

When the morning light appeared on the horizon, the boat stopped and docked.

Su Qing lay on her side on the bed, felt the big ship shake slightly and then stopped, still guessing whether it was the arrival of the destination or a temporary supplement of water.

But she soon found out.

There was a knock on the door of the room, and Helian Yuanjia's voice sounded outside: "Su Qing, are you awake?"

Just as Su Qing was about to stand up, she felt her arms were so sore that she couldn't move. She knew it was caused by her excessive use of bow and arrow yesterday. If Feng Jun was here...

She bit her lower lip lightly, then stood up forcefully and opened the door of the room.

"We're taking a carriage instead." Helian Yuanjia looked at Su Qing with a smile, "The carriage is ready and waiting outside the door. But before going ashore, you need to change your clothes."

Su Qing was wearing a light yellow robe embroidered with flying phoenixes. Anyone with eyes could tell that she must be related to the royal family.

In the Daan Dynasty, only the children of the royal family can wear phoenix-patterned dresses, and only the princes and concubines can wear bright yellow phoenix-patterned clothes.

Helian Yuanjia was holding a Hun women's long skirt in his hand. Inside was a moon-white floor-length skirt, and outside was a small vest with extremely soft white fur sewn on the side. Embroidered with delicate moon white flowers.

Seeing Su Qing squinting at the pattern on the clothes, Helian Yuanjia explained: "This kind of flower is the snow lotus on Kunlun Mountain. Even in June in your Central Plains, there are flowers blooming on the mountain. I will show you to see it later. ?”

"No need." Su Qing took the dress, gave him a cold look, and then closed the door again.

Helian Yuanjia folded his arms around his chest, pressed his forehead against the door, and laughed softly after a while.The first time he wanted to take a woman to see the lotus on Kunshan, he was rejected. You must know how many girls in the Huns hope that their second prince can take them to see the snow lotus!

There is a tradition in the Huns that as long as a man falls in love with a woman and takes her to the snow mountain to pick a snow lotus, he will be blessed by the God of Kunlun.The higher the snow lotus is, the more beautiful and holy it is, and the more it can show the steadfastness of love between men and women.

He had never picked snow lotus flowers for any woman, but he was confident that Su Qing would definitely accept his flowers.

After a stick of incense, Su Qing opened the door of the room, and her appearance was already changed.

On weekdays, she usually adorns herself with a complete set of head and face, and at the same time carefully chooses her dress to match.

And the new dress Helian Yuanjia gave her actually fit her very well. The aqua-blue embroidered waistcoat fit her waist perfectly, outlining her figure vividly, and the skirt below her The legs are set off more slender.

Because she didn't have a matching headgear, she let out her waist-length hair, and simply tied a white jade hairpin behind her head. She looked like a lotus emerging from water, elegant and dusty, and like an exiled fairy, not disturbing the world. .It's just that those peach-blossom eyes are so charming and affectionate that one can't help but want to indulge in them.

"You really look like a goblin." Helian Yuanjia looked at her for a long time before commenting.If it wasn't for the injury on his shoulder, he couldn't help but make Su Qing his own on the spot.

Su Qing was a little uncomfortable seeing Helian Yuanjia's hot and straightforward eyes, so she changed the subject and asked, "Where are we?"

She originally asked the question casually, and she didn't expect Helian Yuanjia to answer her question.Helian Yuanjia smiled, supported Su Qing's elbow and walked out: "You can see for yourself."

Su Qing frowned slightly, pushed away Helian Yuanjia's hand, and walked out by herself while supporting the wall.

When she stood at the bow of the boat, she was taken aback for a moment. The wharf outside was bustling with cars and horses, and it was a bustling and bustling scene.Many ships docked at the pier, and many ships left the pier and went down the river.

The greetings of the boatman, the noise of the water, and the noise of the market not far away instantly drowned Su Qing.

"This is Jiangxia City, and you can go down to Suzhou by boat for one day." Helian Yuanjia saw Su Qing's blankness, and explained with a light smile.

The big boat was slowly approaching the shore, Su Qing stood facing the wind, her clothes fluttering.

Unexpectedly, Helian Yuanjia suddenly put a veiled hat on Su Qing's head lightly.

Su Qing frowned slightly, and was about to speak when Helian Yuanjia said with a smile: "Presumably His Royal Highness has already dispatched manpower along the way, so we need to change course now, but don't worry, although the carriage is bumpy, it is faster than the boat. "

Su Qing looked at him through the white veil, then sneered: "You will regret it."

"My king will never regret what he does." Helian Yuanjia stood beside Su Qing, watching indifferently as the maids on the boat were busy throwing down the anchor, and then threw the rope on the boat to the bank and fixed it on the river bank side.

This ship was more magnificent and taller than all the ships on the dock, and the nearby boats were far out of the way.

They could tell at a glance that the people on board were either rich or noble, they were definitely not someone they could easily provoke, and it was better to stay away from them.

After the maids built the small red wooden bridge connecting the bow of the ship to the shore, they quietly stepped aside.

"Please, my future prince and concubine." Helian Yuanjia looked at Su Qing with a gentle smile.

Su Qing frowned, and then took the lead to step onto the shore on the slightly shaking wooden bridge.

But as soon as she turned around, only Helian Yuanjia, Su Xuerou and another maid in a yellow skirt followed her ashore, while the rest of the maids stayed on the boat, and put away the wooden bridge, pulled up the anchor, and supported the boat. The boat goes upriver.

Although those girls looked delicate and slender, two people were able to pull up the thick and heavy anchor, causing the surrounding people to keep looking over here with surprise in their eyes.

It can be seen that those girls are definitely Lianjiazi, otherwise there would be no more than ten or twenty men, and it would be absolutely impossible to scoop up such a heavy anchor lightly.

Su Qing looked back for a moment before raising her eyebrows slightly: "They...don't they go together?"

Helian Yuanjia looked at Su Qing with a smile: "Of course they have other tasks."

"What mission?" Su Qing couldn't help thinking of going to other places. If these women were ordered to attack Feng Jun, would Feng Jun...can handle so many women with strong martial arts?

Helian Yuanjia seemed to have seen Su Qing's thoughts, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, they won't attack the prince by surprise."

Su Qing looked at him dubiously, and averted her gaze after a while.

There was already a carriage waiting on the shore. The appearance of the carriage was not very eye-catching, but when Su Qing got into the carriage, she found that the interior was very luxurious and spacious.

She was sitting in the carriage, Helian Yuanjia followed into the carriage, and Su Xuerou was the last to sit in the carriage, staying quietly in a corner of the carriage, looking very pitiful and weak.

It's a pity that the two people in the carriage didn't pay much attention to her existence.

The girl in the yellow skirt was driving the carriage outside, and the carriage soon staggered up the official road and walked into the city.
