The General Said She Didn’t Take a Wife - Chapter 150

In the past few days, Nufu Ling’s state has been a little wrong.

In the past, Ling Nufu, who was meticulous in her work and kept everything under her command in good order, has been fascinated recently. In one month, she made the wrong memorial three times, and she often looked haggard.

There was even a time when Bei Chenling put on his court clothes upside down, and all the civil and military people in the court held back their laughter, but Bei Chenling didn’t realize it. With a flushed face, he called the carriage to wait outside the palace, and as soon as he left the palace, he got into the carriage, embarrassed and annoyed.

It’s okay to mess up the courtroom, and even Beichenling’s mansion has problems from time to time.

Yesterday I played a bowl, and today I wrote and painted, and I actually drew a human figure on the paper I practiced calligraphy.

The painting can only be understood, it is not very specific, people can’t guess what Bei Chenling is thinking, but the people in the house spread the matter, which makes people think that Beichenling may not have a good rest recently, so this is the case. sluggish.

The talented man in the palace, who had a good impression of Nv Ling, greeted him with concern in private, and sent a lot of nourishing supplements to Beichen Ling Mansion. This state is not good, if it is really unsustainable, you can ask the Empress to play and rest for a few more days.

Bei Chenling sighed wearily, dragging his complicated mind to perfunctory these people one by one, and waved his hand to say that he was fine.

A few days later, when Bei Chenling presented his memorial with typos for the fifth time, Lin Aoxue finally called Bei Chenling to the imperial study in private, intending to have a good talk with Bei Chenling.

Lin Aoxue first, like those ministers, asked if Bei Chenling had been ill recently. After Bei Chenling shook her head in denial, she asked again if there was anything on her mind.

But Bei Chenling, who used to tell Lin Aoxue everything in the past, refused to say anything today, and his tone was very serious. Lin Aoxue didn’t ask why for a long time, and he couldn’t help but feel more and more puzzled.

In the end, she could only tell Bei Chenling to be careful in the future, and when Bei Chenling responded, she would let Bei Chenling back down.

Lin Aoxue frowned because of this, she always felt that Bei Chenling had something hidden in her heart, and she didn’t talk to her anymore, which made her a little sad.

She treats Beichenling as her sister, and naturally hopes to relieve Beichenling’s worries, but it seems that this worry is difficult to solve.

At this moment, Yunyan came in from outside the imperial study, saw Lin Aoxue’s frowning face, and asked about it, Lin Aoxue immediately talked about it like a bean.

Yunyan laughed lightly when she heard the words, her eyes seemed to be hiding a touch of brilliance, she was smart and alert, making Lin Aoxue feel hopeful in her heart, and asked:

“Yan’er has a way?”

Yun Yan did not directly answer Lin Aoxue’s words, but talked about another matter:

“Recently, there seems to be some problems with the trade route to the grasslands in the north, and when it’s time to send someone to inspect it, it’s been several years that an envoy from Beijing has not been sent to inspect it.”

Lin Aoxue nodded when she heard the words:

“Yeah, it’s been handed over to Pei Qing all the time, and no one in Beijing has been sent to see it.”

Yunyan laughed:

“Recently, Ling’er has been bored in Beijing, and the envoys from the grasslands came last time. The one-month vacation you originally promised her was delayed by the envoys, so Ling’er has suffered a secret loss. I don’t send Ling’er, I stay away from the court, and I can enjoy the scenery along the way, and then relax.”

Lin Aoxue felt that what Yun Yan said was very true, so she agreed. After two days, she relayed her plan to Bei Chen Ling. Bei Chen Ling first showed a sleepy look, and soon, her tight brows loosened. Come, reply Lin Aoxue clearly:

“Ling’er is willing to go.”

This matter was settled like this, Bei Chenling changed his sluggishness the day before, suddenly became energetic, and took the initiative to manage the affairs of the mission to the North.

Including the carriage, dry food, water, clothes, and the entanglements that need to be spent on the way, she did everything herself, and she was full of energy, which surprised everyone.

Beichenling got up early and was greedy for the dark, so busy that she couldn’t touch the ground, she just moved the original five-day trip to the third day, and everything was arranged properly.

Lin Aoxue was amazed by this, she seemed to suddenly understand the deep meaning of Yunyan’s words.

Yo ho, this little girl is thinking of spring.

Of course Lin Aoxue would not stop Bei Chenling. She waved her sleeve robe, and Bei Chenling bowed to leave. The carriage and horse were already waiting outside the palace. Bei Chenling boarded the carriage, turned her head and said to the young servant who was driving:

“Set off.”

The carriage could not run too fast on the official roads of the capital. When the carriage slowly left the capital and went to the official road outside the city, the servant whipped off the horse, and the horse neighed, and immediately pulled the carriage and galloped.

Behind Bei Chenling, the entourage and family members who were on the road with Bei Chenling also rode on horses.

Once she started heading towards the north, Bei Chenling was not so anxious. She passed the post house and the town on the way, and she would ask her followers to stop and rest before continuing on the road.

After all, some things can’t be rushed. If you are exhausted by traveling and driving, and something goes wrong, it will be more likely to delay things.

As a result, the convoy of Beichenling’s envoys approached the northern border at a very steady speed, and it was a month later when they arrived in the northern border.

It was in June, but the summer in the north came much later than the capital. The climate in the north at this time was almost like that of the capital in May. The climate was warm and not hot. As soon as I entered Xingbeiguan, I had not yet arrived at the military camp. , you can hear the deafening roar, which is the routine drill of the soldiers in the military camp, shouting slogans.

As the first pass to Shengshi, Xingbeiguan is already very rich compared to previous years. The people live and work in peace and contentment.

The materials from the grasslands flowed into the north, such as kumiss, milk cakes, and furs that the grassland people often wear, all of which can be seen in the market of Xingbeiguan. The prices are not expensive, and ordinary people can afford them.

Hearing that the envoy came to the capital, Pei Qing came to greet him outside the barracks immediately. When he saw Bei Chenling, he felt a kind of joy of seeing each other after a long absence.

“General Pei is hard at work!”

Pei Qing laughed and bowed to Bei Chenling:

“Female Fu came from a long way, and it’s hard work!”

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Pei Qing said again:

“This general has already cleaned up the place where the lady is staying, so I will send someone to lead the lady down to rest.”

Bei Chenling smiled and nodded, and replied:

“Alright.”

She came all the way from the capital to the north, and she occasionally stopped to rest on the way, never more than half a day. The bumpy road made her very tired. Anyway, the inspection of the business road was not in a hurry. She took a night’s rest and then made arrangements. No problem.

Pei Qing sent Lu Sheng to lead the woman to the place where he stayed, which was the Fuyun Village opposite the Yanyu Building.

Since Lin Aoxue ascended the throne, Pei Qing was stationed in the northern border as a general, and finalized the proposal of Ningguo and grassland trade. minister.

Walking to the corner of the street, Bei Chenling seemed to have a feeling. She raised her eyes and glanced at the medical clinic beside the street, but when she saw the signboard of “Yanxue Medical Clinic” hanging on it, she blinked and asked Lu Sheng with a smile:

“Is this hospital the one that the Queen opened?”

Lu Sheng didn’t expect Bei Chenling to talk to him suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, followed Bei Chenling’s eyes to look over, his eyes fell on the signboard of Yanxue Medical Hall, he quickly reacted, and a bright smile appeared on his face involuntarily , said:

“Yeah, our Lady Empress never liked to leave the military camp. Ever since the Queen opened a medical clinic in Xingbei Market, Lady Empress ran towards the market every three days!”

Lu Sheng sold Lin Aoxue without hesitation, Bei Chenling frowned, imagining the moments when Lin Aoxue and Yunyan got along in the north, and suddenly felt envious.

Although it was not early for those two people to meet each other, they were able to support each other in the most wasted years, and it was not easy to reach today, step by step, and it was worthy of admiration.

Suddenly, Bei Chenling thought of Zhe Ji again, the arrogant and unruly empress.

Bei Chenling smiled wryly and shook his head, how could Zheji be like Lin Aoxue or Yunyan, this person comes and goes like the wind, who knows what Zheji is thinking in her heart, and whether it will really be like what she said, she can put the body on her body. Burden off.

However, if she hadn’t been hopeful, if she hadn’t been desperate, like she was poisoned and lost her heart, how could she have come to the North without stopping? .

Bei Chenling sighed again, she felt a little underwhelming.

After Fuyun Village became an industry in the military camp, the upper and lower floors were separated. Only the bottom floor received ordinary drinkers. For a person like Bei Chenling, the steward of the village directly led Bei Chenling to the top floor. , arranged an elegant and quiet room for Beichen Ling to rest.

Bei Chenling thanked Lu Sheng, who led the way, Lu Sheng scratched his head shyly, then bowed and left.

That night, Bei Chenling was lying on the bed but lost sleepiness. Her eyes were clear, and an oil lamp was lit on the desk beside her, and the faint light flickered in the room.

Bei Chenling stretched out his hand and looked at the shadow falling on the wall by the light of the kerosene lamp.

Before she came, her mood was so urgent and her desire was so strong that she lost her calmness and sense of urgency in the past, and came here with all her heart.

Even when she was on the road, she didn’t think about it carefully. What was she here for? Really, she just wanted to complete the inspection task that Lin Aoxue had arranged for her, or did she have other plans?

When she really arrived in the north, she began to hesitate again. Things that she had not had time to think about before were roaring in her mind at this moment, messing up her heart, and she couldn’t find any clue.

“When it’s dawn tomorrow, go to the market to relax.”

She muttered to herself in a low voice.

Suddenly, she snorted, she was so troubled, and she didn’t know how much that unconscionable thing cared about her, and whether she would toss and turn like her, making it hard to fall asleep.

In other words, once a person’s heart is moved, there is no fairness or injustice, only willingness and unwillingness, joy and disapproval.

Beichen Ling talked for a long time, feeling that after this incident, he became more sentimental.

It wasn’t until the middle of the night that Bei Chenling fell asleep in a daze, and then she woke up before dawn. When she rolled over and sat up, looking at the gray scene outside the window, her mind was still immersed in the dream just now.

She dreamed that Zhe Ji was guarding her throne and refused to let go, and then resolutely did not want to meet her. Her coming to the north was a joke, and she died without a problem.

Bei Chenling sat on the bed, her heart pounding, it was the first time she realized that she was so vulnerable.

Knowing that it was a dream, she couldn’t hold back the resentment in her heart, and even started to resent it, gritted her teeth angrily:

This unscrupulous dog thing!

The dignified and unparalleled Queen of the Prairie from outside turned into an unscrupulous dog when she came to Beichenling’s mouth.

Bei Chenling pursed his lips, rolled over and got off the bed, poured the cold tea on the table into a cup, took a sip, cleared his mind, and then propped up the edge of the table, and said again viciously:

“Don’t think I’ll give you a chance to humiliate me, hum, there’s no door.”

These may be the two most ruthless words Bei Chenling has ever said in his life.

She let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that she had expressed the pent-up emotions in her chest, and she felt much more relaxed and not as uncomfortable as when she first woke up.

Now that he got up, he was no longer sleepy. Bei Chenling rubbed his eyes and started to get dressed. He asked his entourage to fetch water and tidy up before he opened the door of the guest room.

Bei Chenling delayed for a while, the sky was already bright outside the house, she walked towards the hall on the second floor, and instructed the entourage beside her:

“Prepare some light food, and let’s go to the market when it’s dawn.”

When she came to the north this time, she mainly followed Lin Aoxue’s arrangement. To inspect the trade route between the two borders, she would start with Xingbeiguan, visit the market in Xingbeiguan, and then leave the customs tomorrow. , go to Shengshi.

Shengshi is the hub of trade between the two borders, and it is also the most prosperous and prosperous place between the grasslands and Ningguo.

Over the past two years, Shengshi has been expanded and built several times, and its area is comparable to that of Xingbeiguan. However, because it is divided into two cities, north and south, and managed separately, in fact, the part under the jurisdiction of Ningguo is only half of Shengshi. .

Beichenling had breakfast at Fuyun Village, and everything was the same as usual, but today Beichenling felt particularly unappetizing.

She silently added up the food and put it into the bowl, holding chopsticks in her hand, fiddled for a long time, and after two bites, she didn’t want to eat it.

The situation is really bad.

Beichen Ling said in his heart.

It can’t go on like this, but she has no other way.

When she was in the room, she tried to adjust her emotions as much as possible, but she was not as rational and calm as she expected.

She sighed again, a little helpless.

Since Zhe Ji left two months ago, her condition has been getting worse day by day, and she has lost a lot of weight, but there is no way to change it.

But the task is added, and she can’t give up halfway. She has to continue her life. She can’t give up herself because of one Zheji.

impossible.

Bei Chenling snorted coldly in her heart, but she didn’t hold on for a while, and then began to sigh again, she was extremely helpless, thinking about letting Xiao Er take the food away, and didn’t plan to eat it again.

But at this moment, a very frivolous words suddenly came from the stairs on the second floor:

“Hey! Madam, why is this king gone? You don’t even have a good meal? But you don’t want to eat because of this king’s tea? Look, your little face has lost weight.”

Bei Chenling heard the voice of the unexpected person, her hand holding the chopsticks froze suddenly, and her eyes showed disbelief.

She even thought that she had an ear disease because she thought too much, and she had auditory hallucinations, and she was dreaming.

Or maybe, before she woke up from the dream this morning, she changed the scene to a new scene without her noticing.

After being stunned for a few breaths of time, Bei Chenling looked at the direction from which the voice came from in astonishment.

A tall and straight figure was walking upstairs, stepping on the wooden stairs, making crunching noises, each stroke seemed to be hitting Bei Chenling’s heart.

Bei Chenling held her breath, her face full of disbelief, in her deep eyes, the figure gradually became clearer and closer, and finally the face was completely presented in Bei Chenling’s line of sight.

The smile on Zhe Ji’s face was still hearty, like the moon on the horizon, which suddenly brightened the dark sky shrouded in Zhe Ji’s heart.

“If we haven’t seen each other for a day, it’s like every three autumns. Let this king do the math. How many autumns have we passed?”
