Chapter 209 Gifting You a Red Tassel
King Xuan returned early.
Xie Chen felt sorry for him and waited for him in Jiangzhou for another ten days.
On the first day of July, the Holy Emperor set out again on his journey south.
Following the waterway, passing through Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Walk along the nearby city, stopping here and there.
Xie Chen became increasingly busy, and the imperial concubine was even busier.
Pei Tingyue often didn't see the two of them for several days.
After hearing that Xie Chen often skipped meals, Pei Tingyue made some simple pastries and sent them over when she had some free time.
Apart from giving this, she doesn't come out easily.
It was the height of summer and the sun was extremely scorching. Even if I went out for a while, I would come back sweaty and have to take a shower and change clothes.
And there is a more important reason. Since that assassination, the number of assassinations has become more and more frequent. There are thieves every now and then. The most serious one almost brought them to the emperor.
Pei Tingyue simply stayed at her own residence and did not go out. Not only was it safe, but she could also focus on taking care of Xiao Si.
Considering that Xiao Si was still young, Pei Tingyue didn't dare to let anyone use ice in the bedroom at first, for fear of making him cold. Unexpectedly, Xiao Si got very angry and broke out in a heat rash.
His body was covered with red spots, and he couldn't scratch it himself, so he cried when he felt uncomfortable.
This sudden change made Pei Tingyue blame herself.
So during this period of time, she was almost always by Xiao Si's side. In addition to applying medicine, Pei Tingyue would gently scratch him if he moved a little to make him feel more comfortable.
Only after taking both measures did Xiao Si stop crying.
It was not until August when the weather gradually became colder that Xiao Si's prickly heat all disappeared.
Pei Tingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a month, the emperor arrived in Minyue.
To the south is the territory of another country, so we chose to stay in the Quanzhou Palace. After more than half a month, it is almost time for the emperor to return.
Pei Tingyue calculated carefully and found that she had only seen Xie Chen five or six times in this month. Each time, they were just affectionate for a while, kissing and hugging each other, and before she could do anything more, someone would intervene.
On the contrary, I have met the imperial concubine many times.
The Imperial Concubine was also busy and looked very tired. Sometimes when Pei Tingyue went to bed and woke up the next day, she would find the Imperial Concubine sleeping on the inner couch, and sometimes she would find her on the outer couch.
Pei Tingyue looked at the fatigue between her brows and felt very distressed.
But she couldn't help at all.
And she couldn't ask or say anything.
She vaguely felt that the previous dynasty was playing a big game that she could not understand, and the end of the assassination should be the day when the imperial concubine left.
Thinking about it this way, we still have about ten days to spend together.
Pei Tingyue felt reluctant.
Sometimes my eyes would turn red when I covered the imperial concubine with a quilt.
This busyness lasted until August 14th.
Concubine Song came early in the morning.
She held Xiao Si tightly in her arms, sometimes lifting him up high, sometimes walking with him in her arms. It was the first time that her eyes were openly red.
"Zhou Zhou, you must grow up quickly!"
"Tall and strong, come to the Northern Frontier to seek experience with Mother Song!"
"Zhou Zhou smiled, and Mother Song took it as Zhou Zhou's consent!"
“I really can’t bear to leave my son…”
“…”
Pei Tingyue sensed something from her emotions and words. Her eyes were sore and she couldn't bear to watch any longer.
Pei Tingyue ran to the outer hall and cried secretly for a while before coming back pretending nothing had happened.
Concubine Song understood it in her heart, but she didn't expose it. After putting Xiao Si down, she came to coax her gently.
This made Pei Tingyue feel embarrassed.
The sky gradually darkened, and a colorful glow was winding across the sky.
At this moment, Concubine Song smiled and said, "Young General, I'll take you out for a horse race."
Pei Tingyue happily agreed: "Okay."
The imperial guards led the way, and the two men rode together on one horse, slowly strolling in the woods near the palace.
"Want to go faster?"
Pei Tingyue nodded.
Concubine Song laughed wantonly: "Forget those thoughts and enjoy the present moment."
Pei Tingyue only felt his embrace tighten, and then the horse galloped through the woods, with a whistling sound in his ears, and the whole person seemed to merge into the wind and forest.
Free and unrestrained.
Very satisfying.
Perhaps because the person behind him was reassuring, Pei Tingyue was not afraid at all. Instead, she laughed out loud, "My Queen, hurry up."
Concubine Song clamped her legs against the horse's belly, which increased the speed even more, leaving behind an afterimage.
After running for a long time, she slowed down and asked, "Do you feel comfortable?"
Pei Tingyue nodded: "Yeah."
Concubine Song smiled, took out something from her bosom, and tied it around her waist, "This is for you."
Pei Tingyue lowered his head, picked up the crooked thing, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
Concubine Song rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Amulet of peace!"
Pei Tingyue looked left and right with a bitter face, but he really couldn't tell that this was a talisman.
"Why is it made of red rope like this?"
Concubine Song explained: "It's the red rope on the red tassel spear."
Pei Tingyue looked up blankly without saying a word.
Concubine Song continued, "The year I came of age, my father gave me a red tasseled spear and asked me to use it to guard the border. I was reluctant to use this red tasseled spear on the battlefield, so it has never seen blood. I can use it to make a talisman to protect your safety. I give you this red tassel, and I wish you long-lasting peace."
Pei Tingyue stared at the amulet for a long time without moving.
Finally, he untied it from his waist and placed it solemnly in his arms.
"good."
Concubine Song smiled and said, "Write me a letter."
Pei Tingyue choked up: "Okay."
Concubine Song scolded her: "Don't cry."
Pei Tingyue was speechless and just nodded continuously, then buried himself in the imperial concubine's arms for a long time.
It is her great fortune to have such a good teacher and friend.
She will remember it, think about it and ponder it all her life.
