Chapter 62

It is winter in Shenzhou, the river is frozen, time seems to be stagnant like a river, and the streets are becoming less and less populated.

It has been more than a month since the first lady gave birth in Serene Garden, and it is snowing lightly in Central Capital. The baby has never left the small courtyard where she was born before the full term, and Qin Jun only sends people to come and see it from time to time.

On this day, Ji Si returned to Serene Garden from outside the city, and went to see the child first.

Song Wenzhou pointed to the wild flowers on Ji Si's wrist and asked curiously, "Is this a flower?"

Ji Si raised her wrist, and the smile in her eyes became softer, "Well, let's go."

Song Wenzhou nodded, patted the baby in his arms to sleep, "It's winter in Central Capital, why are there still flowers?"

Ji Si looked sideways, indicating that Song Wenzhou had something to say.

Song Wenzhou thought about it, and said, "Where did you get this? Show me!"

Ji Si narrowed her eyes slightly, and was silent for a moment before she took off the wreath on her wrist and gave it to Song Wenzhou: "Outside the city, there are many in the wilderness."

Song Wenzhou carried the child to the bed, took it excitedly, sniffed and looked at the wreath, and finally picked off the leaves that looked like flowers but not flowers and fed them into his mouth.

Ji Si's smile gradually disappeared, cracked gradually, and finally froze. Then she smiled slightly, and put her hand on the soft sword on her waist, her face gradually showing murderous intent.

Song Wenzhou didn't know it, and said: "That's it! What you have in your hand is not a flower, but a medicinal material that can be used as medicine! Take me out of the city! I'll go and see... Maybe it's a wild medicinal field..."

Song Wenzhou's voice became smaller and smaller: "Lin, Miss Lin..."

Ji Si put on a fake smile, suppressed the thought of killing Song Wenzhou, turned around and left with a cold snort.

Song Wenzhou shuddered and hesitated for a moment, but the sensibility of the drug nerd got the upper hand, and he caught up with Ji Si with soft legs, "Lin...Miss Lin, haha, may I ask where is the medicine field?"

"Ah...it's medicinal materials." Qin Jun and Xing'er were studying the clothes worn by the child, holding a small jacket in front of their eyes, "Is the baby okay?"

Ji Si said, "Yes."

Qin Jun nodded, and picked up another unlined garment to look at, "It's so small..."

Song Wenzhou: "..."

"By the way," Qin Jun recovered, "What did you just say?"

Song Wenzhou repeated the words.

Qin Jun became more and more pleasantly surprised, and finally interrupted Song Wenzhou, "No wonder the soil in Central Capital is not suitable for cultivation. You mean, that land may be suitable for planting medicinal materials?"

Song Wenzhou shook his head: "I still need to see if it is true or not. It may be a medicine field, but only one or two kinds of medicinal materials can be grown, or some common medicines that can be found everywhere..."

Qin Jun waved her hand and jumped off the couch excitedly. Ji Si took the cloak and tied it on her. Qin Jun said, "I'll take you to see it now. Let's go. Whether it suits you or not, you can try and decide!"

"Princess!" The porter hurriedly reported.

"Capital is here."

Qin Jun's expression changed,

Song Wenzhou said: "Princess, don't be impatient. It's the same for me to go by myself, but I don't know if it's inconvenient. Why don't you send the baby girl to the princess and let the maid take care of it for a while?"

In Song Wenzhou's yard, there were only Malt and a nanny who took care of the baby girl, not even a waiter.

Qin Jun nodded: "Come here."

Song Wenzhou nodded: "She just ate and was sleeping, Wei Chen went to ask the nanny to carry her over."

"The north is in chaos."

There was a kneeling man in the hall, dressed in strong clothes, the moonlight dragged the sword box behind him out of a huge shadow, and cast it on the floor.

"I'm here to get the Emperor Sword."

Ji Si's voice was cold, she looked at Qin Jun, and raised her tone slightly: "Sword of Heaven?"

Young Master Yi looked stern, with a black scarf covering his mouth and nose: "Princess, the Emperor Sword was taken away when the princess left Beijing."

Xing'er looked blank, "Tianzijian?"

Young Master Yi is the head of Qin Bian's secret guards. According to rumors, he has followed Qin Bian for 30 years, and no one has seen his true face.

In the hall, Ji Si and Jin Xiu stood by Qin Jun's side.

Xing'er served the tea, but still didn't see Young Master Yi getting up, so she couldn't help looking at the sword box behind him, and suddenly remembered something, she turned her head suddenly, and turned to Qin Jun and Jin Xiu in astonishment.

Ji Si's face was dark and indifferent, compared to Xing'er's stunned expression, she was much calmer.

Only then did Xing'er confirm what she was thinking... Since leaving Capital, Jin Xiufan and Qin Jun often carried a sword case on their backs when they traveled far away.

Young Master Yi took off the sword box behind him, put it on the ground, opened it, and revealed the empty box.

Qin Jun slightly raised his chin, expressionless: "Young Master Yi, Tian Zi Jian is not with me."

Outside the door, Xiaotao came to report anxiously. After saluting, she walked quickly to Qin Jun and leaned over to whisper in her ear.

Qin Jun was silent for a moment, then slowly raised her right hand.

Jin Xiu reached out to support Qin Jun, and left the front hall with her.

Young Master Yi knelt down and looked up at Qin Jun with a frown: "Princess, without the Son of Heaven Sword, how can Your Majesty conquer it himself!"

Ji Si: "Presumptuous."

Young Master Yi was silent, then watched Qin Jun leave without saying a word.

Ji Si pursed her lips, leaned over to Young Master Yi, turned and left.

Xing'er looked left and right, but in desperation, she had no choice but to salute and leave.

Behind the wall of the backyard, Ji Si walked over unhurriedly. Qin Jun kept waving at her while holding onto the wall, and asked nervously, "How is it?"

Ji Si said lightly, "Still kneeling."

Qin Jun nodded, lifted her skirt with one hand, and led Ji Si to walk quickly towards her courtyard with the other.

Xiaotao had already gone back first, and now she was anxiously looking at the baby, "Princess!"

"Why are you crying?" Qin Jun turned around anxiously, and said frantically, "Where is Song Wenzhou!"

Ji Si: "I went outside the city to see the land."

Qin Jun just remembered that Song Wenzhou wanted to open up medicine fields, so he sent the baby girl to Qin Jun's yard. Qin Jun immediately held his forehead, and they were helpless with a full-term child.

Ji Si stood aside, frowned and thought deeply, "Are you hungry?"

Qin Jun and Xiaotao put the child back in the crib, and then carefully lifted the child's chubby legs with Xiaotao, "Could it be peeing..."

"Where's the malt?" Qin Jun asked again.

Ji Si summoned her servants and asked, "It's cold, so it's not suitable to come and take care of her."

Qin Jun: "Then what to do!"

On the one hand, Jin Xiu came in with hot water, rolled up her sleeves, walked to the side of the bed to support Xing'er, skillfully turned the baby girl around, and took off her pants.

Qin Jun: "Ahhh!"

Ji Si: "..."

Xiaotao's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and said, "I almost forgot, the princess was also brought up by Jin Xiu!"

Ji Si narrowed her eyes slightly, took a step forward, moved closer to Qin Jun's side, and asked, "Is it the same?"

Jin Xiu didn't take it seriously, she changed the diaper, wiped and dressed the baby girl, and at the end, looked at the baby girl who had calmed down, stretched out her fingers to rub the child's face, and said softly, "It's the same."

Qin Jun sneered, her ears were reddish, she looked sideways at Ji Si's scrutinizing expression, unaware of any doubts.

Ji Si moved her eyes away, as if she had become interested in the baby girl, and imitating Jin Xiu, she stretched out a hand for the child to hold and play with.

The baby girl is young, just full-term, at most she can babble a few words, her hands are too limp and fat, she has only eyes, and she can stare at Ji Si intently.

Ji Si laughed suddenly, and said slowly, "It's very similar."

Qin Jun looked at Ji Si's side face, and couldn't help but startled.

It was cold and windy at night, it was snowing in Central Capital, the fire was burning, and the Lantern Festival was approaching, and there were a few scattered lanterns hanging in the city of Central Capital.

"The palace posted a post, and the princess has sent a letter to reject it. Even if the prince doesn't come to Central Capital, he has to make room for the Li family's daughters to live in the yard..." Xiaotao disciplined the palace people in the palace, "Central Capital is very different from Capital.It’s far away, but the Lantern Festival and the Waterside Feast are equally indispensable.”

All the court ladies said in unison: "Yes."

Xiaotao nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and saw Young Master Yi masked, his face covered tightly, leaning against the porch, watching the snowflakes in the sky quietly.

"Are you leaving?" Qin Jun asked.

Xing'er shook her head, poked the coals by the stove, and looked at the sky anxiously.

"Princess..." Xing'er pursed her lips.

Qin Jun propped up her chin, "If you want to ask, just ask."

Xing'er: "Your Majesty...do you want to conscript yourself?"

Qin Jun shook her head: "The ministers will not agree."

Xing'er: "That?"

Ji Si pulled the curtain and came in, and placed a plate of snacks and letters in front of Qin Jun, "Your Majesty has many heirs, so why come to conquest?"

"Young Master Yi won't stay here for a long time. My father still needs someone to protect me." Qin Jun laughed and opened the letter, "... my grandfather stayed in Jiang Prefecture, and it's uncle who will go to Beijing this year to report on his work and pay tribute."

Ji Si said, "Can I go back to Jiang Prefecture?"

Qin Jun shook her head: "I'm afraid of causing trouble if I go."

Xing'er hesitated and said: "Princess will not return to Shangjing, nor will she return to Jiangzhou. As for the matter of worshiping the ancestors... I am afraid that the clan members will have objections."

Ji Si: "Be sick."

Qin Jun's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, "That's it, um... let's set it up in Serene Garden. Let's keep the ancestor worship simple, and the ancestors will not blame you if you are sincere."

Xing'er stopped talking, left the room, and went to get ready.

Two days later, Young Master Yi quietly left Serene Garden.

Xiaotao went to the other courtyard to deliver food, only to find a letter from Young Master Yi in the room, writing to return to Beijing.

"This period of time is long enough for Mr. Yi to turn Serene Garden upside down, except for the wing room here. He should return to Beijing after searching." Jin Xiu said.

Ji Si said: "After searching Serene Garden, there is also Jiangbei Villa."

Jin Xiu looked at Ji Si with side eyes, frowned and said, "How do you know the sword is..."

Ji Si chuckled lightly: "How could Young Master Yi return empty-handed so easily? Besides, this slave is just defrauding you."

"Young Master Yi Lai is nowhere to be found. The matter of stealing the sword has been revealed. He will definitely leave Beijing to find it himself." Ji Si looked at Qin Jun and said in a deep voice, "So going to Jiang Prefecture to Central Capital is part of the plan to steal the sword."One ring."

Jin Xiu looked at Ji Si with dissatisfaction: "Young master is easy to rely on his talent and pride, and he is really not a good thing."

Jin Xiu scolded Young Master Yi, but actually scolded Ji Si for being a bad person, Qin Jun couldn't help but smile: "He is the personal guard of the father's royal guard, and of course he doesn't take anyone seriously except for the imperial order.Are you really gone?"

Jin Xiu nodded.

Qin Jun smiled and said, "It's not bad to be able to delay for a few days."

Ji Si: "I wasted a few days in Central Capital, went to Jiang Prefecture to get the sword, and then returned to Beijing. I think His Majesty's idea of personally conscripting has been suppressed by the officials."

Qin Jun nodded, "That's right."

Xiaotao, look at me, I look at you, still confused, "Your Majesty wants to conscript himself, will he be persuaded by all the officials so easily?"

Qin Jun lit the letter on a candle, burned it, and ordered Jin Xiu to grind it, and Ji Si handed over a pen and paper: "Without the Son of Heaven sword, how can the military officer outside the customs follow orders and dispatch troops easily?"

Hundreds of years before the Qin and Zhou dynasties, the first emperor also laid down this land from horseback. The Tianzi sword has been passed down from generation to generation, and its meaning has long been engraved in the hearts of generals. Seeing the sword is like seeing the first emperor.There will be a basis for not accepting the orders of the emperor outside.

If Qin Bian wanted to conquest himself, he could command all the soldiers and generals in Qin Zhou territory with the Son of Heaven sword.

Xiaotao: "Then... just pay it back..."

Jin Xiu said in a muffled voice, "If you don't return it, the news of Tianzijian's disappearance will spread, and the princess will lose her head."

Xiaotao's face turned pale, and he immediately covered his mouth, not daring to ask any more questions.

"Father must be angry." Qin Jun tapped his chin with a pen, "Send someone here, without saying a word."

Xiaotao's face became even paler, and he hammered his chest and asked: "What kind of sword did you steal in the first place! Why did the princess go so self-willed!"

Qin Jun smiled, stretched out her hand and tapped Xiaotao on the head, and then looked at the letter paper, "You said, you can't beat... What if you can't beat the barbarians, what will happen if the capital falls?

Xiaotao shook her head, Qin Jun didn't finish writing, and looked at Jin Xiu.

Jin Xiu said indifferently: "I don't know."

Ji Si looked at Qin Jun without saying a word.

Qin Jun forced a smile, but her expression couldn't hide her sorrow and said: "If the crown prince is in the court, all the officials may agree to the father's conquest. But the faction dispute between the court and China has not been resolved, and the establishment of the crown...is difficult. There is no result.The Chu can’t conscript himself. Capital has soldiers but no generals. If the prince is sent out to fight, and he wins the battle, it will be justifiable to establish the Chu. If he wins the war and establishes Chu, it will be a double blessing. If he loses, Capital will fall.but"

Ji Si: "It's a plan for Wei Yu to move the capital."

The word light and light, falling in the small wing room, is like a thousand hectares of boulders pressing on everyone's shoulders and necks.

"Yes," Qin Jun suppressed the feeling of dizziness for a moment, and the tip of the pen fell heavily on the rice paper, "Move the capital."

On the letter, Qin Jun raised his pen and looked up, but actually wrote the character Sun.

According to legend, there was once a sage who opposed Longzhong, and he knew the situation of the world without leaving home.

Jin Xiu looked at Qin Jun in astonishment, and when she came back to her senses, her hand had already grabbed Qin Jun's slender wrist.

Ji Si frowned and turned her eyes.

Xing'er Xiaotao never read Qin Jun's letter, and when Qin Jun raised the pen, she got up to avoid it.

Qin Jun: "Aunt Xiu?"

Looking at the unfamiliar Qin Jun, Jin Xiu asked in a puzzled tone, "Princess?"

Qin Jun wondered, "What's wrong?"

"Who is it for?" Jin Xiu looked at the letter.

Qin Jun pulled out her hand and rubbed her wrist.

In Jin Xiu's image, the only person surnamed Sun is Grand Tutor Qin Zhou, who was just promoted to prime minister last year.

Qin Jun: "Sun Xiang, in the name of Yun Xuan, ask him to persuade his father to move the capital."

Jin Xiu Tongren was slightly stunned, and began to think to herself: "If you don't conquest yourself, you can only move the capital?"

"Princess means..."

Without saying a word, Ji Si had unknowingly occupied Jin Xiu's position and began to study ink for her.

It was quiet all around, only the sound of Qin Jun's pen tip across the rice paper.

Jin Xiu suddenly became quiet, she understood what Qin Jun meant, if he wins, why bother to move the capital?

That night, Qin Jun sat in front of the desk for a whole night, sometimes writing and sometimes meditating.

Sun Xiang is a great Confucian with outstanding literary talent, Qin Jun wants to impress him with a few pages of light letter paper?It's not easy, but if she reveals that Qin Zhou and the Hu people will lose in a battle, wouldn't she be set on fire and burned to death?

The only one who can say this is the rumor, Yun Xuan who can predict the fate of the country.

If it were Yun Xuan, what would he say?

Needless to say, he is a powerful official of a generation, a man of power beneath one person, above ten-thousand others, and Qin Bian himself died in the conquest, so he will have to do a lot of work behind the scenes, as long as Qin Bian does not have a crown prince, or the crown prince he establishes is not as good as himWish, it is impossible to personally conscript.

There is also a possibility that Qin Bian may not have the idea and candidate for a reserve in his mind. The fifth child is sitting on the bench outside, and the fourth child is a rotten tree.

The first son, the prince, died seven years ago. The second and third children are all people who hold military power. It becomes a problem who to establish, and who to send to fight becomes a problem.

The reason why it is necessary to establish a prince in the court to conscript himself is to prevent the emperor from dying on the battlefield, and there will still be someone who can lead the court.If the official's reaction is more intense, it means that everyone has little confidence in this war.

The faction in the court is probably divided into two factions with the second prince and the third prince. No one wants the prince in his own team to go to war and bear the possibility of death or disability. Naturally, his own people cannot go, and they cannot let competitors go.The opponent came back unscathed, and the battle was won. This battle may establish the overall situation of Chu Jun in the court.

Therefore, there was constant wrangling, and the quarrel was ugly, but under the quarrel, the only consensus was not to let Qin Bian go to conscript himself.

What Qin Jun has to do is to wake up Prime Minister Sun. Apart from fighting in the vortex of Li Chu, there is also the matter of moving the capital, which must be taken to heart.

Moving the capital involves a wide range of costs, when and when to move the capital, official planning, taxation and corvee, etc., as well as how to balance the interest groups in the south, so as not to be ostracized by the family after the capital is moved... There are also dozens of capitals that will inevitably be faced after the defeatAll kinds of troubles caused by tens of thousands of people fleeing in a hurry... and so on, can't be solved overnight.

Others cannot see the future, but Qin Jun can.Officials in the court could not see Qin Zhou after the defeat, but Qin Jun could.As for the arrogant officials, they never imagined the consequences of their defeat in the future, so they could only be reminded by Qin Jun.

Qin Jun closed her eyes and then opened them again. Except for the nomination, there was nothing on the paper. The ink on the pen had dried up and blurred with the paper.

Ji Si guarded Qin Jun all night without sleep, but she didn't look tired, "Can't write?"

Qin Jun smiled wryly: "I read too little, so I can't write."

"Lifting a brush is as light as a feather, but putting it down is as heavy as a thousand weights." Qin Jun shook her head, the morning light outside the window was faint, and the warm winter sun penetrated through the pane and sprinkled on a small flower in front of the window.

Qin Jun chuckled: "Do you like this medicinal flower?"

When the sun came out of the city, Qin Jun picked flowers to make a wreath for Ji Si. From then on, when Ji Si found time, she went to pick some flowers to decorate Qin Jun's wing.

Ji Si smiled lightly: "I'm really happy."

Qin Jun watched intently, until he met Ji Si's gaze, and then moved his eyes away embarrassingly.

Ji Si: "Breakfast?"

Qin Jun got up, rubbed her numb legs, and said, "Bring some food, let's go out and play."

Xiaotao bought a piece of wasteland outside the city and gave it to Song Wenzhou to take care of it. Central Capital's soil is not suitable for growing grain but can grow a lot of medicinal materials. Song Wenzhou was overjoyed and studied the medicinal field outside the city every day.

Recording the frost period, studying soil, slope quality, water use, humidity, and weather to match the properties of suitable medicinal materials, often pulling Qin Jun to research, Qin Jun found business opportunities, and naturally responded to Song Wenzhou's needs.

When Qin Jun went out of the city with Song Wenzhou, she would often stand on the bank of a mountain lake and watch the travelers coming from the north.

A few days later, more and more people came from outside the city of Central Capital, all of them came from the north, or returned home for the Lantern Festival, and some people passed by Central Capital to Capital, except for businessmen who rushed to Capital to do business, andAll parties sealed off the princes of Shiyi

"The sheriff of Central Capital has rushed to Capital." Ji Si said.

Qin Jun looked down at the pedestrians pulling horses on the official road from a high mountain, "Are there any nobles going south?"

Ji Si: "There are no nobles."

Qin Jun snorted and turned to look at Ji Si, "Be careful, lest it is difficult to turn around at the right time."

Ji Si: "Here."

Ji Si's voice was indifferent, Qin Jun turned to look at her after listening.Ji Si looked at the foot of the mountain, crossed her arms, and the smiley expression on her face disappeared without a trace, only the lingering hostility loomed between her brows.

"You look bad, what's wrong?" Qin Jun squeezed Ji Si's hand.

Ji Si stretched out her five fingers, her slender fingers intertwined with Qin Jun's, and suddenly asked, "No problem."

Qin Jun didn't believe it, she leaned closer to examine Ji Si, and asked word by word: "What's the matter?"

Ji Si grasped Qin Jun's chin, causing her to look up. The two breathed similarly and looked at each other, one nervous and the other indifferent.

Ji Si asked, "Today is thirty."

Qin Jun became nervous when she saw her: "...Oh, what, do you want to cut a tree for fun?"

Ji Si looked sideways at Qin Jun: "No need."

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si's eyes were indifferent, and the cold poison in her body made her five internal organs feel burning pain, and the cold and heat ran wildly.

Qin Jun smiled and said, "Is it cold? Let's go back."

Ji Si exhaled slowly, and white mist rolled out in the air: "I'm fine."

Qin Jun said, "Oh."

Ji Si glanced sideways, "It's still early, master doesn't need to worry about slaves."

Qin Jun: "...Oh."

Qin Jun licked her lips, the tip of her nose suddenly itched, and she sneezed.

Caught off guard, the jaw was pinched and raised.

A soft silk handkerchief was rubbed against the tip of her nose.

Qin Jun immediately blushed and avoided, "I'll wipe it myself!"

Ji Si twitched the corners of her mouth, with an evil look, "It's okay, it's just a snot."

"Snot!" Qin Jun frantically tried to break free, "I—"

"No," Ji Si said unhurriedly, "no snot."

Qin Jun: "..."

The heat from Ji Si's fingertips penetrated the silk: "I just want to take a good look at the princess."

She traced Qin Jun's lips, nose, and eyes, and the cold wind on the cliff was blowing her hair.

Qin Jun unconsciously leaned back slightly, trying to dodge, but was oppressed by Ji Si's gaze, "I..."

"The princess has never mentioned the Tianzi sword." Ji Si's eyes were displeased, and her brows were filled with sternness, "I don't know, how much of the princess is unknown to Lady Pin?"

"No!" Qin Jun denied immediately, her heart beating wildly.

After the Tianshan snow lotus took effect, Ji Si's cold poison was suppressed to the point of every 30 days, and today happened to be her day of attack.

... You must not annoy Ji Si.

Ji Si's fingertips fed into Qin Jun's lips, and touched her shell-like teeth, "No more?"

Qin Jun looked away guiltily, "What do you want to know, just ask."

"I often feel," Ji Si said, "No matter what Lady Pin does, she can't compare to Jin Xiu, right?"

Qin Jun: "..."

What kind of flying vinegar is this?

Ji Si looked at Qin Jun quietly, her calm and unhappy expression seemed to order Qin Jun to give her a perfect reason.

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si's old account was recalculated: "The slave went to the Eternal Border in March, and who was the one who accompanied the princess every night?"

Qin Jun: "Why... suddenly asking this..."

"Master doesn't want to say?" Ji Si looked at Qin Jun in disappointment. Her dark pupils seemed to suck Qin Jun in, thick and deep, like the deep sea, "I don't ask."

Qin Jun's throat slipped, and her confused mind managed to regain her senses, "Xing'er, Xiaotao and Auntie Xiu will come to watch the night."

Ji Si: "Just a night watch?"

Qin Jun choked: "Of course!"

"So what?" Ji Si chuckled, "What the slave does for the master is just watch the night."

"..."

"Don't you know, when you can do it, it's not just a night watch."

Qin Jun's cheeks were hot, and she lost her mind for a moment when she was shocked by Ji Si's words.

Ji Si lowered her eyebrows and moved closer. She pinched Qin Jun's shoulders, and in the breeze, she could breathe the smell of each other.

Ji Si's kiss was lingering and forceful. She pinched Qin Jun's waist and kept kissing deeply. The sudden kiss made Qin Jun's waist stretch into a tight bow.

"Hmm." Qin Jun was forced to accept Ji Si's passionate kiss.Only gradually, the red tide spread from the back of the neck to the earlobe, and Qin Jun couldn't help but began to respond to Ji Si.

Ji Si let go of Qin Jun and looked at

…The tongue was burning like fire, and the teeth were like needle pricks. The kiss made Qin Jun's lips and teeth full of toothache and itching...

"The bride..."

"...Don't bite me."

Every time she resisted, she would suffer an additional point of punishment, and every time she resisted, the air in her internal organs would be sucked away by two points.

Qin Jun pushed Ji Si away with a red face, and licked the teeth marks on her lips.

"It's swollen," Ji Si said in a low voice, motioning for Qin Jun to open his mouth, "Look at your tongue, slave."

Qin Jun pursed her lips hard, and after a while, slowly opened her mouth, revealing the soft and delicate clam meat inside the clam shell, on which there were still traces of fierce beasts biting.

When the wind stopped, Ji Si's movements also froze. She pursed her thin lips lightly, as if she was using this movement to desperately suppress those evil thoughts.

Qin Jun glanced at Ji Si suspiciously, before asking why, she shuddered.

Ji Si parted her lips slightly and took a breath.Bending down slightly, he lifted Qin Jun up and down the stone steps.

Qin Jun exclaimed, conditioned to hug Ji Si's neck tightly, "I can walk by myself!"

"The mountain road is slippery," Ji Si's voice was slightly hoarse, "The slave will travel instead of the master."

Qin Jun stretched out his hands to press the veiled hat, and the complicated ancient skirts were piled up under Ji Si's arms, and his voice was like mosquitoes: "I... have grown taller..."

Ji Si didn't seem to hear, and only laughed lightly.

After returning home, Qin Jun only spent a stick of incense, wrote and sealed the letter, and ordered someone to send it out.

Less than a month is the first month. At this moment, the whole Qin and Zhou Dynasties thought that the battle situation would be settled before winter, and they had been fighting in the canyon for nearly two months.

Xiaotao knelt on the ground, facing the tablet in front of him and muttered in a low voice: "Today's festive event, I wish the princess a thousand years, and wish the war in the north goes smoothly..."

A chestnut hit Xiaotao's forehead, and Xing'er raised her index finger on her lips, "It's Chinese New Year today, why are you mentioning this!"

Xiaotao pursed her mouth, she could only keep silent and bow her head.

Xing'er raised her eyes and looked at Qin Jun, who was standing upright and enjoying the fragrance.

The severity of the battle in the north has far surpassed Qin and Zhou's guesses. It was snowing heavily in Capital, and heard that it was difficult for vehicles and horses to travel.

"The princess ordered the villain to investigate the situation outside the pass," Chu Zhi knelt on the ground, wearing a thick jacket, and reported to Qin Jun what he saw outside the pass."Wherever he went, there were many bones, and refugees ate each other..."

Qin Jun's expression was empty, and when he heard it, he felt that he was dragged into the real dream in an instant, when people were killing each other, and there was no one around, Xi Jiang's iron cavalry broke through the pass, and this peaceful land becameDevastated.

Chu Zhi kowtowed and couldn't stand it. After a long time, Qin Jun came back to his senses, and then looked at him with a teacup in his hand, "A letter for you..."

"It's the younger one who has dirty palace people first, so I beg the princess to punish me." Chu said straightly.

Qin Jun said in a daze, "If you two are in love..."

Ji Si whispered in Qin Jun's ear: "According to the rule, the punishment is to die with a stick."

Qin Jun's heart skipped a beat, "Mai Ya said, they have feelings..."

Ji Si: "Fifty sticks."

Qin Jun waved her hands, rubbed her eyebrows, and said to Chu Zhizhi: "... I think you have done a good job in going to the Eternal Border this time. With thirty rods, you were relieved of the post of guard. After receiving the punishment, you left Serene Garden. Go find a job yourself.As for Xiao'er..."

"Xiao" is the name Qin Jun chose for the child.

Chu Zhi knelt down and couldn't get up, his expression was difficult to distinguish: "I beg the princess to forgive me for a few days, and I will come to pick her up when I find a house."

"By the way," Qin Jun nodded, "On Shaoyao's tombstone..."

Chu Zhi kowtowed and said, "Yes, it must be about Chu Zhi's wife."

Qin Jun and Ji Si looked at each other, their expressions were difficult to distinguish, so they could only order Chu to go straight down and wait.

In January, Serene Garden was decorated with lights and festoons every day, and the caravan from Eternal Border came back. The harvest was so good that Qin Jun once again had the idea of doing business outside the border.

"Let He Zi's junior come to see me." Qin Jun put down her pen and closed the account book.

He character generation, from one to thirteen.The oldest one after the turn of the year is already fourteen years old. If it is a child of an ordinary family, a boy of this age can already discuss marriage.

Ji Si said: "Thirteen, master has something to do and wants to arrange for you to do it."

He Shisan nodded. He didn't talk much, but he had learned Chinese for more than half a year, and there was no obstacle in listening and answering. "Master, please speak."

Qin Jun smiled: "Are you from the Western Regions?"

He Shisan nodded, speaking calmly: "In the Western Regions, parents make a living by having children and selling them as human sacrifices."

Qin Jun got up, walked to the boy kneeling on the ground with a smile, raised her hand, and touched Shisan's head, "You know where you came from, have you ever thought about going back?"

He Shisan's expression relaxed, "I think," He Shisan's expression was violent, "If they can go back, they must—"

Ji Si glanced sideways, and He Shisan immediately lowered his eyes and said meekly, "Think."

Qin Jun was slightly stunned, the hatred on the young man was so overwhelming that it was hard to ignore, "Then, I will give you a chance."

Qin Jun got up, and Ji Si paced over and handed her a list, "The people on the list are for your errands. After returning to your hometown outside the customs, I will give you two years to give the master a satisfactory answer."

He Shisan looked at Qin Jun in disbelief: "Master..."

"Get up and talk," Qin Jun smiled, "you don't need to kneel at any time, just leave after the year, be careful, you will be a young master from now on."

He Shisan nodded blankly, "Twelve and the others..."

Qin Jun smiled and said: "I will take good care of my younger brothers and sisters. What you have to do is to stand out and give those who bullied you a resounding slap in the face, you know?"

He Shisan nodded, knelt in the hall, and remained silent for a long time.

Qin Jun was tired from sitting, and when she saw that it was about the same time, she got up and went to the study.

After a while, only Ji Si and He Shisan were left in the front hall.

Ji Si: "Thirteen."

Ji Si's voice seemed ethereal in the empty hall. She closed her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes cast shadows on her eyes, mysterious and dangerous, "Mr. taught benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, do you remember?"

He Shisan straightened his back and kowtowed to Ji Si.

Ji Si made a wrong step and got out of He Shisan's big kowtow, "I'm not the one you want to kneel."

He Shisan still kowtowed three times, then moved his knees, towards the place where Qin Jun left, and bowed with all his body, "I will never forget my master's kindness."

Ji Si nodded and lifted her chin slightly, "Go get ready."

Capital.

Sun Zhongshen got off his horse as usual, and after entering the mansion, he kept on stepping and kissed his side: "Quick! Give me the letter from the south!"

In the study, the cronies found the letter in a hidden compartment on the wall and handed it to Sun Xiang: "Master Xiang."

Sun Zhong asked, "How did this letter come?"

The friend said: "a beggar, when he saw the servant going out, he bumped into it and stuffed it in the little hand."

Sun Zhong opened the letter and sat at the desk to examine it. There were only a few words on the letter - this battle must be lost.

Seeing that Sun Zhong's face was extremely ugly, the confidant couldn't help asking: "Master, what did you say in the letter?"

Sun Zhong: "The south? Is it from Youzhou?"

The confidant shook his head: "The governor of Youzhou is the eyes and ears of the prime minister, so he doesn't write easily."

Sun Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, knocked the letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Go and check!"

Confidant: "Here."

The cronies left, and Sun Zhong repeatedly read the letters in his hand.

——This battle must be lost.

In the court hall, there was a battle report outside the canyon pass. General Lu was defeated and died. Deputy General Chen Bi ordered his army to retreat a hundred miles away from the canyon, and ordered messengers to ask the court to make a decision.

The meaning inside and outside the words is that they can't fight and ask for help.

This battle has been fought for two months, although it exceeded the expectations of most people in the court, but His Majesty has not personally conscripted, nor has the prince participated in the battle. Sun Zhong received this letter a few days ago and wondered whether it was too early to assert.

A few days later, the cronies found out the clues, "Master...it's a letter from Jiangnan, well, it seems...it's from Master Yun Xuan..."

"Yun Xuan!" Sun Zhong turned pale with shock, and scanned the letter, "Yun Xuan doesn't care about world affairs, why—"

In the letter——Yun Xuan hits off with the sixth princess.

Years later, He Shisan led a team of more than ten people to the north. At the same time, the officials who had started to be devolved from Shangjing left the capital, and the county guards and princes who returned to their places one after another after Shuo Ri also left Shangjing.

As soon as he went to Beijing, the Beijing officials passed by Jiangnan to visit Yun Xuan and had a long talk with him all night.

"This plan is very clever," Yun Xuan came to visit Jingyuan, and Qin Jun was enjoying the snow on the mountain outside the city, and said, "In the name of grassroots, use the princess's way to pass on what the princess wants to say?"

Qin Jun: "If Prime Minister Sun came to investigate and find out, it is natural that this palace and the master often enjoy flowers and talk about Taoism, and the friendship is very good."

Yun Xuan smiled helplessly: "The friendship is very strong, I'm afraid Miss Lin disagrees."

The corner of Qin Jun's mouth twitched, "The friendship is very good, the master is a high-ranking person, and the love of children is not suitable for you."

Ji Si stood beside Qin Jun, wearing a blue and white skirt, she was so gorgeous in the world, she smiled gently, and said, "Master and slave, have you ever had eyes?"

Qin Jun burst out laughing, pointing at Yun Xuan and laughing loudly, "Master, Lady Pin's mouth is damaged."

"Master!" Xiaotao ran towards the cliff with a terrified expression, "Many people are going south in the direction of Capital."

Qin Jun laughed, "Sunshine is over, and the princes and county guards are going back to their places. Why panic?"

Xiaotao pursed his lips and looked left and right.

Qin Jun: "Speak up if you have something to say."

Xiaotao: "But... the more people leave, the more it means that the war in the north is serious and everyone is fleeing to the south?"

Ji Si stretched out her hand to lift the snow off Qin Jun's shoulder, comforting her quietly.

Yun Xuan: "No."

Xiaotao was confused: "Why!?"

Qin Jun: "After a while, you will know the answer."

Yun Xuan got up: "Caomin left first."

Qin Jun nodded, stood up and said goodbye: "Thank you, Master...there is no peace in the north, and the troubled times are vying for supremacy. Whether you have a place for me or not depends entirely on the decision of the master!"

Yun Xuan smiled lightly and said nothing, after cupping his hands, he walked down the mountain step by step.

Ji Si: "Princess."

Qin Jun reluctantly smiled at Ji Si, with a bitter smile, grabbed Ji Si's wide sleeve, and put her forehead on Ji Si's shoulder, "Lady Pin..."

Ji Si: "The slave is here."
