Chapter 1425, I suppose.
Sitting on the daybed in the warm room, Song Chunxue felt a little confused as she enjoyed the comfort of this bed, which was even more comfortable than a kang (heated brick bed).
However, she quickly got it sorted out.
So be it, she'll act as a bodyguard. After all, she's now the Akita Taoist priest and wields a powerful triangular pyramid.
Let's just consider it a case of the capable doing more work.
She smiled to herself and sat cross-legged in meditation.
It's the end of February, and the weather is getting warmer.
Who cut out these delicate leaves? It seems the spring breeze of February is like a pair of scissors.
The willows in the capital were lush and green. Song Chunxue couldn't resist picking one up and playing with it in her hand, while she held two steamed buns in her other hand.
The radish-filled buns weren't very tasty; the meat tasted a bit fishy.
She only realized after leaving home that most of the fillings for steamed buns and dumplings made by people from other places were raw.
Undercooked food always tastes fishy and lacks flavor.
However, according to the locals, it's because it's raw and tender.
But Song Chunxue didn't really understand the word "tender" because there weren't many tender things in her hometown.
You might look young for a few days, but you'll grow old very quickly.
The older people are used to the food, so they don't care about those things anymore.
Xie Zheng walked ahead, with Song Chunxue following behind him, carrying steamed buns, looking excessively casual and relaxed.
"Thank you, sir."
"Thank you, sir."
"grown ups."
"grown ups."
As she followed him into the palace gates and headed towards the military camp, Song Chunxue noticed that the gazes directed at her were somewhat abrupt.
She glanced down at her outfit; she should have been dressed in full official robes.
Her clothes are too conspicuous now; she doesn't look like she's here to do official business, but rather like she's here to cause trouble.
She was also rather short in the crowd.
However, she quickly changed her mind. The leader at the entrance of the prison walked over with a smile, barely reaching Song Chunxue's shoulder.
After that, Xie Zheng went to many other places and met many people.
Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, Song Chunxue wondered if Xie Zheng's legs were so strong that he could walk, but couldn't he ride in a sedan chair?
That makes sense, though. Xie Zheng has never liked enslaving others, even though there are quite a few people who want to be his sedan chair carriers.
Sometimes, she had to stand outside the door when Xie Zheng was talking to him, but most of the time she had to stand behind him.
At first, she listened with great interest, but later it became nothing more than boring stuff, with people with their own agendas passing the buck to each other, and she started to yawn.
Around noon, they went to the palace to meet the emperor.
Song Chunxue stood outside the door without looking around, watching the group of eunuchs standing there like wooden sculptures.
Not knowing what was being argued about inside the hall, Song Chunxue was very curious whether the young emperor could withstand such a public argument with his old ministers.
I used to think that the imperial city, the place under the emperor's feet, was so distant and sacred that it would be worth it to see it even once in my life.
Now that I've seen and experienced it all, I realize that being able to fill my stomach is the most important thing.
There are many people in this world who go hungry, but only a few years are truly enough to eat.
I hope there will be more spring rain in various places this year, and that the cold snaps in my hometown won't be so frequent.
I haven't had sweet dried apricots (a type of apricot that is not sour and has smooth flesh) for several years. If I can get two dried apricot pits this year, I must plant them next to her old house on the back hill.
She has two apricot trees that she planted herself, but they are just ordinary apricots, not particularly sweet, and quite dry.
Dried apricots are more moist and won't damage your teeth.
"Let's go back and have dinner."
Xie Zheng strode out from inside, speaking angrily, clearly very angry.
After leaving the palace gates, Song Chunxue thought he was going home, but unexpectedly he arrived at a noodle shop. "What would you like to eat?"
He didn't bring any other attendants, clearly indicating that he was asking about Song Chunxue.
"Noodles with minced meat sauce".
After Xie Zheng sat down, Song Chunxue clearly felt that someone was watching her.
I didn't feel this way this morning.
"Are you trying to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Xie Zheng took out his chopsticks and wiped them clean. "I guess so. They follow us around every day, which is really troublesome. It would be great if you could handle all of this."
"..."
“Since he’s my personal bodyguard, his monthly salary can’t be reduced,” he said, pushing a bag toward Song Chunxue. “Open it and take a look.”
