Queen Mother Wang Huiying suddenly arrived at Changle Palace.
The time was chosen in the evening before Mu Nan was going to Youchuan Yinghe.
The setting sun has just disappeared.
In Jingyi Pavilion, Mu Nan was haggling with Su Hongyi on the issue of honor.
According to Mu Nan's opinion, Jiankang is 64,000 miles away from Youchuan.
The honor guard was all replaced by fast horses and ran non-stop for twelve hours.
By the time the Protector of the Country arrives at Yinghe, not to mention the presence of evil spirits, even cucumbers and vegetables will be frozen into lumps of ice.
The grass on the tomb of Sun Qian, the king of Jubei, can be as tall as a canopy.
Change to his imperial jade futon and fly leisurely. It won't take half a month to arrive.
But Su Hongyi insisted on having a guard of honor.
He said that he had received Sima Rui's instructions and did not dare to make decisions privately.
Along the way, the streets in counties and counties have clean water and loess paved roads.
Taoist priests, temple monks, and officials from the great and great dynasties all knelt down to welcome the Dharma frame.
And do a good job in reception.
Mu Nan shook his head like a rattle.
This approach wastes people and money.
He didn't want to inflict what he experienced in his previous life on others.
To live between heaven and earth, you must have some conscience at least.
And how should it be recorded in history books?
Sensible historians will use the writing style of Spring and Autumn Period to write about him as "the Dharma benefits the world" and educates all people.
When it comes to historians whose backs are harder than their pens, they are left with "excessive extravagance and lust, causing harm to the country and the people."
He must have this old face!
What's more, he saw a hint of uncertainty on Su Hongyi's face.
Can negotiate terms!
"The Queen Mother is here!"
Eunuch Li's voice was as sharp as ever, and he sang with ups and downs.
Shengsheng interrupted the "hurried head and white face" of the two people.
The sound carried for a long time.
Under the red umbrella, the Queen Mother walked lightly, as if she had lifted a heavy burden.
Wherever he passed, the maids and servants knelt down together.
Su Hongyi even bowed and stepped back ten feet, not daring to express his anger.
Since Sima Rui ascended the throne, Wang Huiying has become the queen mother from the queen. The real person in charge of the harem, which eunuch and maid can't wait carefully?
Not a moment.
"The Ai family bothered you rashly, so please ask the mage not to blame him."
Wang Huiying stepped into the gate of Jingyixuan, but her first words were low-key.
For nothing else.
The mage in front of her looked young, but she couldn't help but think that he was her savior.
Not only was she a lifesaver, but she also made her son the king.
"The Queen Mother is polite!"
Mu Nan bowed slightly and said as a courtesy: "Eunuch Su, watch the tea!"
"Excuse me, Master, I heard that Master is going to Youchuan, so I came here to see him off!"
Wang Huiying was freed from the tonic and curse, her complexion was obviously much better, and she looked full of uprightness: "The Aijia would like to have a few words with the Master alone, but I don't know if it is convenient for the Master."
Especially, it is not convenient for a man and a woman alone.
But after hearing these words, everyone in Jingyi Xuan, no matter whether they were spring, summer, autumn or winter, or the father-in-law's maids, bowed and left.
Regardless of whether Mu Nan agreed or not, only Wang Huiying and Mu Nan were left in the courtyard.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
What Wang Huiying said next can be said to be completely nutritious.
He takes things into consideration.
I asked about the food and clothing expenses on the way, and then asked my father-in-law and maid again.
It’s long-winded and takes a long time.
Mu Nan even suspected that Wang Huiying had watched so many palace fight dramas that she had forgotten that she was the protagonist of the palace fight.
That's why I learned the habit of people in the palace not talking about business, but always talking about Zen.
This cannot be true.
Being able to sit in the position of queen in a harem that was chaotic and messy and was disturbed by Sima Yao should not be a waste of nonsense.
It only takes one sentence to hit the mark, who can’t understand it?
Mu Nan hurriedly interrupted her meaningfully:
"Queen Mother, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."
Wang Huiying smiled.
She had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
"Master, when you arrive at Youchuan, please give this thing to Sun Qian, King of Jubei."
A curved jade pendant was contained in a simple small box.
It doesn't look very expensive.
"Just this?"
Mu Nan felt a big puzzlement in his heart.
It's just a jade pendant to hand over. Do you have to make a detour on the mountain road?
Another nine-link waterway?
But Wang Huiying's eyes were a little solemn, and she said sincerely: "Master, this matter is of great importance, and only one person can know it."
Mu Nan nodded as if he had some understanding.
Not a jade pendant, but Wang Huiying.
She doesn't seem to be very good at magic, and is a bit of a loser.
Aren't two people already aware of it?
"good!"
It is better to do less than to do more. Mu Nan was not ready to popularize the knowledge of magic to her.
As he put away the small box, he began to murmur in his heart.
What secrets do Wang Huiying and Sun Qianfang have?
Or does he have such a leg?
Did she start asking questions to pave the way for royal favors, and then take it as a matter of course to ask for help?
If so...
Every living person in the harem is full of selfishness.
Poor thinking.
Wang Huiying finished explaining the matters, and then went back to the harem with satisfaction until the Changle Palace was brightly lit.
In the courtyard.
Mu Nan and Su Hongyi once again discussed the unfinished topic.
Su Hongyi was uncharacteristically insistent on his opinion, which made Mu Nan think for a moment that he had other intentions.
Finally, in the middle of the night.
Each takes a step back.
The honor guard followed for half a day and then waited for orders. Mu Nan made the rest of the journey by himself.
"This is the majesty of the Protector of the Country!"
Su Hongyi put down the stool in his hand.
If Mu Nan refused, he would rather beat himself to death and find someone to pretend to be the protector of the country, and then embark on this journey.
Mu Nan regressed.
Don't make Su Hongyi stupid!
…
The Protector of the Country's ceremonial outing was indeed in full style and mobilized the troops.
All the civil and military officials serving in Jiankang walked along the street to see him off.
The White Tiger Guards responsible for the security of the royal family and the Habayashi Guards guarding the capital were both dispatched.
Maintain order.
All idlers and others should be avoided.
Anyone who cranes his or her neck to take a second look will have to check their household registration, ask where their ancestral graves are, and go back three generations.
Mu Nan wanted to say: He is not hated by others.
Sima Rui even sent him all the way to the north of Jiankang City, where he bid farewell to Mu Nan with tears in his eyes, just shy of calling him "father".
Please take a look at the flowing water from the east, and then you will know the different meanings of the world.
Mu Nan, trembling all over, urged Su Hongyi on the twenty-fourth chariot:
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Any delay would be an insult to "even if I am not here, Zi Ning will not come".
It's just a long trip, it's like "sharing the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away", who can bear it!
Goosebumps will fall all over the place!
The next half month felt like a punishment to Mu Nan.
He even regretted not hitting Su Hongyi directly on the head with a stool.
Not to mention the large and small officials who were greeted and sent off along the way, there were also many people in ragged clothes.
A sharp contrast.
It really complied with the saying, "The wine and meat in the rich family smells bad, and the road is frozen to death."
Even though the four girls who were busy in spring, summer, autumn and winter gave him alms, he still felt like he was on pins and needles.
Especially when we arrived at the border of Sufeng County, the roads were filled with smoke and dust and yellow sand was everywhere.
Apparently there was a drought.
The honor guard suffered a lot, and its nostrils, eyes, and eyebrows were all covered with loess.
I know it was the Protector of the Country who was traveling, but I didn’t know that I thought the leader of the Beggar Clan came to Su Feng County to escape famine.
Even so, I don't know where the county magistrate, whose head was caught in the door, got a few buckets of water and sprinkled it on the ground miserably.
Mu Nan was stunned as he watched.
It’s difficult for humans and animals to drink water, so why do they still want to do this?
I really understand "official" clearly.
"Eunuch Su, please stop flooding the streets with clean water in Su Feng County! If you are so good at flattery, you might as well think about the way out for the victims."
Su Hongyi was a little unusual during this period. He didn't go to dissuade him. Instead, he had something to say:
"Master, this is what the local government should do! From now on, Su Feng County will have to show filial piety when the honor guard stops here. However, there are many people kneeling in front of them. If they want to see the beauty, why don't they drive them away? "
In the past, most of the people who passed through the place were expelled, and the euphemistic saying was that they should not collide with the legal framework.
Why did Su Hongyi rise today?
Mu Nan's mind turned around for a long time before he suddenly realized it, and asked with a hint of teasing:
"Eunuch Su's native place is Su Feng County, right?"
In his heart, he thought that Su Hongyi was preparing to show off his power.
He must have been unhappy in Su Feng County.
Who gets his wish and becomes a eunuch in the palace?
"Master remembers it correctly." Su Hongyi said calmly: "It's just that the old slave entered the palace since he was a child, and has long since lost all love in the world."
"Master, there are tens of thousands of people kneeling in front of us to block the way. The leader is the county magistrate Su Gongsheng, who wants to pay his respects."
The little flag officer rode a bay-red horse, and the "Changle" flag shuttled between the teams, holding it high with sweat on his back.
Sultry.
"Then let's meet! Xuan!"
