1324 Pick up people, Princess Mingwei's escape route
The Ninth Prince Uncle did not succeed in the end. Feng Qingchen had her own insistence on some things, and even the Ninth Prince Uncle could not make her compromise.
The Ninth Prince had no choice but to let him go. Fortunately, the conflict between the two of them eased, and at least Feng Qingchen was no longer angry with him.
That night, the Ninth Prince stopped attending to his official duties and took Feng Qingchen directly out of the city, under the pretext of watching the stars.
A petty man.
Feng Qingchen cursed in her heart but said nothing. She obediently stretched out her hand to the Ninth Prince and let him pull her onto the horse.
The two of them rode together, galloping on the deserted official road. The sound of the wind whistling past their ears was heard. Feng Qingchen buried his head in the arms of the Ninth Prince to prevent the wind from scratching his face.
The speed was getting faster and faster, and for a moment it seemed to be flying. This feeling was completely different from riding a horse. Feng Qingchen couldn't help but exclaimed, causing the Ninth Emperor's uncle to laugh: "So Qingchen is afraid too."
"I'm not afraid. My riding skills are better than yours." Feng Qingchen punched the Ninth Uncle hard and said, "You did it on purpose."
"I just don't want to waste time on the road." Not only did the Ninth Prince not slow down, but he was actually getting faster and faster. Feng Qingchen hugged the Ninth Prince tightly and stopped talking to avoid swallowing mud and dust.
Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain outside the city. With the Ninth Prince being there, Feng Qingchen didn't need to climb the mountain by herself. The Ninth Prince held Feng Qingchen in his arms, and a few people rushed to the top of the mountain.
"arrive."
Feng Qingchen stood on the top of the mountain, looked up at the starry sky, and smiled happily.
This mountain is not high, and there is no level where you can pick stars with your hands, but... the air on the mountain is fresh, and there is no light pollution, so the starry sky is clearly visible.
Feng Qingchen pointed at the starry sky and counted them one by one, mumbling something. The Ninth Prince did not hear clearly. Later, she just lay on the ground and rested her head on the Ninth Prince's legs: "The starry sky here is beautiful."
The border is empty and unusually quiet. No matter how restless one's mood is, it will calm down at this moment. Feng Qingchen looked at the starry sky and talked incoherently.
She used to sit on the ground and look at the stars. There was no other entertainment on the battlefield and the work pressure was high. Looking at the stars seemed to be the only way to relieve stress.
The starry sky on the battlefield is more beautiful than in the city, but she is always alone.
"If you like it, I will bring you here again in the future." They will come to this border again sooner or later, and the Ninth Prince was not making an empty promise.
"Okay, I'll remember it." Feng Qingchen didn't refuse pretentiously, but he wasn't really looking forward to it.
The fact that the Ninth Prince would take the trouble to coax her meant that they were arguing. She was not afraid of quarreling, but she did not want them to quarrel every now and then.
Feng Qingchen pointed at the stars in the sky and introduced them to the Ninth Uncle: "Look, that's Ziweiyuan, representing the imperial palace, that one is the Emperor Star, that one is the Crown Prince Star, that one is the Tianshu Star, that one is the Royal Concubine Star, and that one is the Huagai Star..."
Feng Qingchen pointed lightly and recited the names of the stars without thinking at all. The Ninth Prince was stunned and stared at Feng Qingchen. It took him a long time to react and asked in shock: "Do you understand astrology?"
Could it be that Feng Qingchen is a descendant of the Fu family, not Feng Li?
"I don't understand. I only know this and I use it to fool those who don't understand." Feng Qingchen said mischievously. Seeing the Ninth Prince go from shock to loss and then to calmness, Feng Qingchen smiled unkindly and thought of the dark-skinned officer in his mind.
In an era when everyone was studying Western constellations, there was a man who studied Eastern constellations desperately and recited the twenty-eight constellations backwards.
Flow. Feng Qingchen was so shocked at that time that he looked at the other person with admiration and asked if he knew astrology. As a result...
People directly said: "I don't understand, I only know this, and I use it to pick up girls."
From then on, Feng Qingchen became skeptical of so-called learned people.
After a brief thought, the Ninth Uncle realized that Feng Qingchen was teasing him, and rubbed Feng Qingchen's head depressedly: "You, you are becoming more and more like a child."
"Isn't this good? This shows that I am very happy and I don't have to be forced to grow up." Except for the initial difficulties, her life here is really like a fish in water. Compared with that bustling city, she prefers her current life.
"Very good, if you keep going like this, I will definitely protect you for the rest of your life." He wanted a woman who would walk side by side with him, but when he finally found her, he realized that he couldn't bear to let her go. He couldn't bear to let her suffer and be displaced.
"It's good to enjoy a comfortable life occasionally. If you live in such a comfortable life all your life, you will become useless. We should be prepared for danger in times of peace. You know, people without long-term plans will fail..."
Feng Qingchen began to lecture him seriously, giving a lot of reasons. If the Ninth Prince was not mentally mature, he might have been led by Feng Qingchen and nodded along.
The Ninth Prince's forehead was filled with black lines, as no one had ever scolded him like this in his life. But seeing Feng Qingchen's smile, the Ninth Prince knew that Feng Qingchen did it on purpose, so he did not interrupt and let Feng Qingchen torture his ears.
As long as she is happy!
It was a rare opportunity for the two of them to leave the city, so of course they wouldn't go back so soon. After watching the stars, there was still sunrise. How could the Ninth Prince let Wang Jinling have all the glory? Regardless of the heavy cold dew on the mountain, the Ninth Prince held Feng Qingchen on the top of the mountain and waited until the sun rose before going down the mountain.
Feng Qingchen was very satisfied. When he went down the mountain, he leaned on the arms of the Ninth Prince and shamelessly asked: "Next time there is a chance, take me to the beach to watch the sunrise."
"Beach?" The Ninth Prince paused for a moment, thinking that Feng Qingchen was thinking of the pirate Lu family. But seeing Feng Qingchen's innocent face, he knew that he was overthinking. He nodded and took the initiative to say, "If there is a chance in the future, I will take you to the island where the Lu family was."
Lu family?
Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't that in Xiling?"
"You can go after Tianyu ascends the throne." The Ninth Prince said firmly.
"Tianyu? Has the situation in Xiling been stabilized?" There is Xiling again, Dongling and Nanling again. The Ninth Prince is really busy.
"Emperor Xiling has no choice." After killing all the heirs, only Tianyu is left. Even if Emperor Xiling is unwilling, he can only let Xiling Tianyu take the throne because Xiling Tianyu is his own child.
"Tianyu has finally gotten his wish after all the hardships he has endured. When will he get married?" Feng Qingchen sighed.
It has not been easy for Xiling Tianyu to go from a prince with crippled legs to where he is today.
"Next spring. Tianyu is not young anymore. If his mother hadn't interfered, he would have married long ago." Xiling Tianyu is not him. As a prince, it is normal for him to marry early.
"Will you go then?"
…
The two chatted casually along the way. There were almost no pedestrians on the road early in the morning, so the two did not have to worry about attracting any suspicion when riding together.
Before breakfast, the two returned to the post station. Feng Qingchen wanted to wash up, but when she arrived at the hall, the staff came to report in a hurry: "My Lord, Miss. The personal soldiers of His Royal Highness Prince Luo came to greet Princess Mingwei under the order of the Queen. They said they don't believe we can protect Princess Mingwei."
This was a slap in the face, a blatant slap in the face of the Ninth Prince. Even though they had guessed it a long time ago, the staff couldn't help but get angry. The other party was too arrogant!
