When encountering such a scene for the first time, even Xiao Jiwei was a little overwhelmed. King Nanyang burst out laughing when he saw it.

"Your Highness, please be careful. Although you are half of the Northern Han people, you grew up in Dayan, and because your wife is from Dayan, you look more like a southerner, so you let the girl

They appreciate it so much!”

Hearing what King Nanyang said, Wen Xun'er couldn't help but sigh: "Why doesn't he have flowers to pick me up? Don't you Northern Han people like women with southern looks?"

The King of Nanyang laughed loudly: "My niece-in-law's temperament is quite similar to our Northern Han people!"

Wen Xun'er shrugged: "Being given flowers is not a shameful thing, there is nothing bad to say!"

"Madam, you don't know something!" The person who came was the maid of King Nanyang. She said in the not-so-standard Dayan dialect, "Madam has her hair tied up. Beihan is the same as Dayan. Pulling up her hair means she is a woman, especially

There are many regulations on women in the South, so whenever you meet a Southern woman with her hair tied up, she is attracted by many people, and no man dares to give her flowers! On the one hand, he is afraid of insulting the woman's innocence, and on the other hand, he is afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings!"

Only then did Wen Xun'er understand.

Walking through the long street, I encountered many fire-related performances. In this cold weather, there were actually some shirtless performers, which made people feel cold just looking at them.

In addition to these, there are also some entertainment programs that are only available in the south. The maid of Nanyang King said that because this place is close to Dayan, people from Dayan occasionally come here to do business, so there will be some things from Dayan.

.

After shopping for two days in a row, on the third day, Wen Xun'er was so tired that he just wanted to stay in the inn and rest.

King Nanyang had originally prepared other programs, but upon seeing this, he canceled them temporarily. Thinking that he would be on his way tomorrow, he gave everyone a day of free time.

Xiao Jiwei had some free time, so he stayed with Wen Xun'er in the inn for a day.

That night, the chirping of birds continued outside the window, which was so noisy that Wen Xun'er couldn't sleep.

She tossed and turned for a long time, then simply sat up and found something to drive away the birds outside.

Xiao Jiwei was sleeping under the bed. After being awakened by her, he came to the window with her.

But as soon as the two of them came to the window, they saw a cold light flashing outside the window. Before Wen Xun'er could react, Xiao Jiwei covered her mouth and dragged her behind the window.

Wen Xun'er looked at Xiao Jiwei with lingering fear. Xiao Jiwei made a silencing gesture towards her, then let go of his hand and took out the dagger he had always carried in his sleeve.

The window lattice was pushed open a small crack, and then something stretched out from the outside, blowing smoke into the house.

Wen Xun'er saw it clearly.

Isn't this the Mixiang that often appears on TV?

She looked at Xiao Jiwei.

Xiao Jiwei signaled her to cover her mouth and nose with her sleeves. When the movement outside disappeared, he grabbed a pair of scissors in the dark and stuffed them into Wen Xun'er's hand.

"Hide!"

He gestured to Wen Xun'er with his mouth.

Wen Xun'er nodded, walked around behind the bed, and hid in a corner.

At the same time, there was sudden movement outside, and there was the sound of fighting.

As if it was a signal, the person outside the window immediately opened the window, jumped in, and went directly to the bed.

Xiao Jiwei confirmed that there was no one outside, went around behind the man, covered his mouth and cut his throat. He killed the man directly, then he dragged the man's body aside and continued to sneak into the corner.

"Giggle!"

There were a few birds chirping outside the window.

This time, Wen Xun'er realized that the sound was not a bird's call, but a human disguise. In other words, it was this sound that woke her up before!

This group of people is really treacherous. The one who can carry out the assassination mission here must be the Northern Han royal family!

Thinking of this, she frowned. She didn't expect that someone would assassinate her just as she arrived at the border. She didn't know how many crises she would encounter along the way!

The people outside didn't hear the noise and immediately tried to open the window to come in. But when he saw the blood on the ground, he immediately realized that something was wrong and turned around to leave.

How could Xiao Jiwei let go of such an opportunity? He grabbed his scream and stabbed the man in the calf. The man screamed and fell down from the second floor.

Although it would not cause death, it would be enough for him to suffer from such a high place!

Xiao Jiwei immediately closed the window, locked it from the inside, and then pulled Wen Xun'er out.

The fight outside the house was extremely fierce.

When I came out, I saw people in black all over the corridor, and there were people in black pouring out of every room. They obviously climbed in through the window!

At this moment, Zhang Yuan was leading his men to challenge, but the aisle was too small to perform well, so for a moment he was at a disadvantage.

"Protect Your Highness!"

Zhang Yuan gave the order and everyone gathered towards Xiao Jiwei's room. Xiao Jiwei closed the door and went to the window again. When he opened the window and looked down, he realized that there were more than just one or two men in black outside.

"The inn should be surrounded! We have nowhere to go!"

The person who fell just now fainted and was lying underneath.

"These people are highly skilled in martial arts and are professional killers!"

From the vicious moves of those people, Xiao Jiwei had already judged that these people were difficult to deal with!

Just at this moment, Chun Sheng hurriedly opened the door and walked in: "Your Highness, Madam, come with me quickly! King Nanyang has already prepared the carriage, which is in the backyard!"

Xiao Jiwei quickly took Wen Xun'er out.

A group of three people came to the room opposite, and went down from the opposite window, which happened to be the backyard of the inn. If they jumped down, they could walk a few steps directly to the back door!

"Jump!" Wen Xun'er looked at the tree on the side, judged the position, and sure enough, Xiao Jiwei jumped first.

"You go down first! Chunsheng, then Madam!"

Chunsheng responded and jumped directly onto the big tree below. The tree was only one step away from the window, so it was not difficult. In addition, Wen Xun'er had some skills, so it was no problem.

She jumped up the tree and followed Chun Sheng.

But at this moment, someone rushed in from the door. Seeing them running away, they threw a long sword towards the window. Xiao Jiwei sidestepped to avoid it, but that person was also killed with a sword from behind.

It's Zhang Yuan.

He looked at Xiao Jiwei: "Your Highness, leave quickly!"

He closed the door, blocked the doorway, and fought with the assassin.

Xiao Jiwei immediately stepped onto the window sill and jumped into the tree.

The three of them arrived at the carriage in the backyard together.

Qiuyue was already inside, but there was blood on her body. I don't know if she was frightened. She was trembling all over. When she saw Wen Xun'er coming in, she immediately hugged Wen Xun'er and cried: "Miss, are you okay? There are so many dead people.

!”

"I'm fine!" Wen Xun'er reassured her, "Are you injured?"

Qiuyue shook her head: "Other people's blood!"

Wen Xun'er felt relieved.

Just at this moment, there was a movement outside the carriage. Xiao Jiwei opened the curtain and looked out, and saw the assassins on horseback chasing in the direction of the carriage.

He immediately frowned.

The carriage will definitely not be able to outrun the horses, so they will be overtaken sooner or later! Especially none of them know how to do martial arts!

Fortunately, their people appeared in time and stopped the wave of assassins, and the danger was temporarily relieved.

Chunsheng was driving in front.

He didn't know the road, so he could only instinctively run towards the main road.

On the other side, King Nanyang finally escaped and got on another carriage. When he saw Xiao Jiwei and his party disappearing at this intersection, he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Go over there and at least spread the troops for His Highness!"

Xiao Jiwei and Wen Xun'er fled in such a hurry that they didn't even put on their coats.

Fortunately, there was a thin blanket in the carriage. Although the three of them were crowded, they could temporarily avoid the cold.

Wen Xun'er shivered from the cold: "They only started on the third day. It seems that these people have been watching us for several days!"

Xiao Jiwei's face was gloomy. When he saw Wen Xun'er trembling all over, he reached out and took her into his arms. Wen Xun'er was really cold, so she didn't struggle. She motioned to Qiu Yue on the other side to hold her.

The three of them were cuddling together like this. Wen Xun'er heard this and said, "We are being pursued just after we arrived in Hu City. I'm afraid there will be more assassins on the road behind!"

Xiao Jiwei lowered his gaze: "It seems we can't leave with the Emperor's uncle and the others!"

The more people, the bigger the goal!

"Uu——"

Ahead, Chun Sheng suddenly stopped his horse.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, there are so many people!"

Xiao Jiwei opened the curtain and took a look, only to find that there were twenty or thirty masked men in black in front of him, completely blocking everyone's way.

"retreat!"

He gave the order decisively.

Chunsheng quickly turned the horse's head and galloped away in another direction. At the same time, the assassin in front also moved and headed straight for the carriage.

There are so many assassins that it is impossible to avoid them.

"Wen Xun'er, listen, the person they want to arrest is me. I will go down later to distract the pursuers. You can run as far as you want!"

Wen Xun'er grabbed him and said, "Then you're throwing yourself into a trap?"

Xiao Jiwei's eyes paused for a moment: "Didn't you say that I am a scourge for thousands of years? Don't worry, I won't die!"

With that said, he came to the front of the car and planned to find an opportunity to jump off.

But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from ahead, and it turned out to be Zhang Yuan and his party!

Wen Xun'er was overjoyed: "We are saved!"

Xiao Jiwei looked at the person in front of him, but his expression did not soften.

Zhang Yuan and his party are naturally very skilled in martial arts, but the assassins at the rear are clearly well-trained and more powerful than the group at the inn. Zhang Yuan and his party may not be able to escape unharmed!

But protecting him is the mission of this group of people.

When the two groups of people fought together, Zhang Yuan ordered one group of people to follow the carriage, while the other group of people stayed to fight.

The sound of fighting gradually faded away, and the carriage also ran to a hilltop. Chun Sheng had no idea where the group had gone. He only stopped the carriage after making sure that the surroundings were safe.

The guard found a cave.

Wen Xun'er twisted his foot while jumping from a tree just now. Now he can't walk at all.

Xiao Jiwei saw this and squatted down directly in front of him.

"Come up."

Wen Xun'er didn't want to be pretentious at this moment and went directly onto his back.

Xiao Jiwei carried her on his back and followed the others directly into the forest.

Inside the cave, the guards had already lit a fire.

Wen Xun'er and Qiu Yue were both extremely cold and shivering all over. When illuminated by the fire, the coldness was immediately driven away.

"Your Highness, clothes!"

They were several bodyguard uniforms, obviously taken off from the bodyguards outside.

Xiao Jiwei wrapped the clothes around Wen Xun'er and then looked at her legs.

"Bring me your legs."

He grabbed Wen Xun'er's feet, took off her shoes and socks, and checked her injured leg.

Wen Xun'er sprained his leg when he jumped down from the tree. He heard a clicking sound at that time and guessed that the bones inside must have been injured.

"pain!"

When Xiao Jiwei pinched the injured area, Wen Xun'er took a few breaths of cold air.

Xiao Jiwei's eyes were cold.

"Chunsheng came to find some wood."

When the wood arrived, Xiao Jiwei fixed Wen Xun'er's legs with branches and looked out of the cave.

"We can't stay here long, we have to find a doctor."

"It's not safe in the city now. If you go out and encounter assassins again, you'll be in trouble. It's better to stay here and see the doctor when it gets dark tomorrow."

Xiao Jiwei looked at Wen Xun'er: "Can you hold on?"

"I can do it." Wen Xun'er's face turned pale.

Xiao Jiwei tightened his lips, and after thinking about it again and again, he finally did not refute.

After he was completely relaxed, he realized that his leg was really hurting. Wen Xun'er woke up with pain several times throughout the night, but he didn't want to hold everyone back because of his injured leg, so he kept silent.

Xiao Jiwei obviously felt it. He had always been a light sleeper.

So when Wen Xun'er turned over again, he woke up.

"Wait me a moment."

He walked out of the cave and didn't know what he did. When he came back in, he held something in his hand.

Looking carefully, Wen Xun'er discovered that it was snow wrapped in leaves.

Putting the leaves on Wen Xun'er's injured leg, the latter immediately felt a chill coming over him, and the burning pain in the injured area immediately eased a lot.

After that, Xiao Jiwei would change the melted snowflakes every once in a while. His eyes turned red all night long, but Wen Xun'er actually slept through the rest of the night.

Early the next morning, a group of people went down the mountain road and went to the city to find the doctor.

As soon as they entered the city, they found that the streets were full of officers and soldiers, and the inn where they rested last night was sealed. Seeing the corpses being carried out, there were assassins and their people, and a group of guards gradually became red.

Blinded.

A group of them followed Zhang Yuan and pursued Xiao Jiwei. They are all brothers in life and death. Now, seeing their brother die tragically, how can they not be sad?

Xiao Jiwei watched this scene in the carriage. The coldness in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Wen Xun'er sat aside and could really feel the chill radiating from his body.

Finally found the doctor.

After the doctor examined Wen Xun'er's legs, he said thankfully, "Thanks to my wife's applying ice water to her legs, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy."

Wen Xun'er remembered that Xiao Jiwei had applied it to his legs all night last night, and couldn't help but look at him again.

"How long will it take for my wife's leg to heal?" he asked the doctor.

The doctor laughed and said, "Don't worry, sir. It's just that my bones and muscles have been injured for a hundred days, and my wife's legs will definitely have to be recuperated for a while."

Wen Xun'er sighed, it was easy to hurt anywhere else, but it was really troublesome to hurt his leg. He had to be carried when he went out.

By the time the doctor finished bandaging his legs, the guards had already taken their clothes from the inn.

Xiao Jiwei put Wen Xun'er into the carriage, and it was time for Qiu Yue to change her clothes.

After Wen Xun'er had changed his clothes, Xiao Jiwei also changed his clothes in the clothing store nearby and came out with a few more clothes.

"Sir, this is what you want."

Chunsheng handed a scroll to Xiao Jiwei.

Xiao Jiwei immediately got on the carriage and opened the scroll.

It is actually the topographic map of Beihan.

Xiao Jiwei stared at the picture for a long time, and circled it with his fingers from time to time. Finally, he probably found a road in it. He told Chun Sheng: "Take this road."

Spring hardened.

"Let our guards be divided into three waves, take carriages respectively, and go to the imperial city from three different directions."

Xiao Jiwei pointed to the three directions on the map.

Chunsheng remembered it and hurriedly went to find the guards.

After Zhang Yuan's hard battle last night and the loss of many brothers, he was clearly not in good spirits at the moment. Hearing Chun Sheng's words, he looked in the direction of the carriage from a distance, and then walked over.

"Sir," he called Xiao Jiwei softly outside the carriage, "can we stay for a day or two before leaving? These brothers have followed us all the way from Great Yan to Beihan, through life and death. I don't want their bodies to be exposed in the wilderness, so at least I'll bury them again.

Walk."

Xiao Jiwei was silent for a moment and responded.

"As it should be."

A group of people took the body out from the government office and buried it on the spot in a nearby mountain.

Unable to carve an inscription, they used a tablet without any words.

Wen Xun'er had been sitting in the carriage because of difficulty in moving.

Just when the bodies of the group of people were buried, it suddenly started to rain lightly.

When the raindrops fell, everyone's hair was wet, as if it was a silent farewell from the guards.

Wen Xun'er was lying on the carriage, his eyes a little red, and Qiu Yue beside him had already burst into tears.

"Miss..." She threw herself into Wen Xun'er's arms and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

An assassin almost killed her last night, but it was a guard who saved her. However, the situation was so critical that she didn't even see her savior's face clearly. Because of this, she was filled with guilt.

In other words, among these dead people was her savior.

Wen Xun'er hugged her and said nothing.

At this first stop, they suffered heavy casualties. If you count them carefully, dozens of them died.

After burying the body of the guard, Zhang Yuan began to arrange the carriage.

But after all, he was worried about Xiao Jiwei leaving alone, so he divided the guards into three, while he stayed to protect Xiao Jiwei.

When Qiu Yue learned that she was going to be separated from Wen Xun'er, she was filled with reluctance: "Miss, just let me follow you!"

"There are too many of us, and the target is too big. Moreover, the assassin's target is my uncle. If you and Chunsheng work together, nothing will happen."

Qiuyue shook her head and refused to let go of her hand.

Wen Xun'er could only soften his voice: "Don't worry, we can meet again after the crisis is over!"

Now that things have come to this, Qiuyue can only respond.

There were four carriages in total, setting off in different directions.

Zhang Yuan specially arranged for three guards who were about the same size as Xiao Jiwei to change into his clothes and sit in the carriage, trying to confuse the fake with the real one. In this way, Xiao Jiwei's target was much smaller, and he was much safer.

Except for the other three teams, the road Xiao Jiwei chose was the most remote and difficult to walk. It even had to cross snowy mountains at one point.

But as a result, Wen Xun'er's injured leg was holding him back.

When we reached a place where we couldn't walk, we could only ride on horseback. Fortunately, Wen Xun'er's riding skills were pretty good. Even if he injured his leg, he could still ride safely.

But the weather in the north was so cold that her hands once suffered from frostbite.

At night, the three of them stayed in the woods and warmed themselves up by the fire.

Because Zhang Yuan didn't want to disturb them, he lit a fire by himself not far away.

He and Xiao Jiwei, one was in charge of the first half of the night and the other was in charge of the second half of the night.

When Wen Xun'er was sleeping, he saw Xiao Jiwei sitting alone and looking worried, so he walked over.

He covered the two of them with a blanket and sat down next to Xiao Jiwei.

"Thinking about the assassin?"

Xiao Jiwei turned his head and looked at him. His face was illuminated by the fire, and it was all bright and dim.

Wen Xun'er didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that he didn't answer, he could only say: "People cannot be resurrected after death. If you are thinking about those dead guards, there may be more sacrifices in the future."

Xiao Jiwei shook his head: "I have foreseen the dangers along the way, but I didn't expect these people to be so vicious. But the more vicious they are, the more afraid they are of me returning to the imperial city, so I have to go back. The person who hurt me is me."

I won’t let it go.”

Wen Xun'er said nothing.

The night wind blew loudly, bringing with it a biting chill, and the fire beside it was clearly extinguished.

Because of the cold, Wen Xun'er leaned her whole body against Xiao Jiwei, who opened his cloak and wrapped her tightly, clinging to each other for warmth.

All the way from the border land to the imperial city, we have to cross thousands of mountains and rivers.

Especially in the cold north, Wen Xun'er felt like he had lost half his life after walking such a long way.

Fortunately, it was relatively safe along the way and we didn't encounter any more assassins.

But her leg injury never healed, and there were still signs of frostbite, until they came to a city and saw a doctor. The doctor said that Wen Xun'er's leg would probably be destroyed if things continued like this, so Xiao Jiwei didn't.

Dare to go again.

The group of them settled directly in the town.

This stay lasted more than half a month.

Wen Xun'er urged Xiao Jiwei several times to leave first, because there was a letter from the imperial city that the emperor of Beihan might not be able to survive this winter.

If Xiao Jiwei had not seen the emperor's face, then all the hard work and even the sacrifices of the guards would be meaningless.

Zhang Yuan was also on the side to persuade Xiao Jiwei.

"Your Highness, the overall situation is important!"

Xiao Jiwei looked at Wen Xun'er, thought about it again and again, and could only agree, but he insisted on keeping Zhang Yuan.

"Be sure to wait for me to come back!"

Before leaving, he pushed Wen Xun'er against the corner of the room, his forehead against her eyebrows, and his words were extremely touching.

Wen Xun'er felt a little hot in her face and turned away, but Xiao Jiwei grabbed her head and kissed her deeply.

Along the way, dependent on each other for life and death, getting along day and night, hormones can indeed increase in value, but that can only be regarded as human nature.

At least from Wen Xun'er's point of view, she could not accept having an emotional dispute with this big devil.

However, perhaps because they had been intimate for too many times, or because of their status as husband and wife, Wen Xun'er did not reject his kiss. Thinking that the two of them were about to separate, and that he would be gone in a bad way, she did not push him away.

, and even responded at one point.

As a result, the other party seemed to be even more reluctant to let go, biting her lips and refusing to let go.

Until Zhang Yuan urged him outside.

Xiao Jiwei then reluctantly let go of her: "I'm leaving, you are not allowed to run away. If I find out that you have escaped, even if I catch up with Dayan, I will definitely break your legs!"

Wen Xun'er raised his head. The tenderness he had just now disappeared, replaced by anger: "Who hurt my leg? Do you have any conscience?"

Xiao Jiwei looked at her mummified legs and pursed his lips: "Then I'm leaving!"

Wen Xun'er waved his hand, shrank into the bed, and signaled him to leave quickly!

Xiao Jiwei looked at her again and then walked out.

As soon as the door closed, Wen Xun'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief, covered his lips and shuddered.

Just leave. Being stared at by his lingering eyes every day makes my skin crawl.

At this time, Wen Xun'er finally realized that Xiao Jiwei might have fallen in love with her!

It's not a good thing to fall in love with the villain! But the two of them still have their status as husband and wife, so she has no reason to refuse his intimacy.

After all, when she got married, she was already prepared to risk her life!

More than a month went by in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, the autumn moon came in the second month, so everything was not too boring!

Until the injured leg was completely healed and walking was no longer a problem, Qiuyue suggested running together.

Wen Xun'er naturally had this idea, but for some reason Xiao Jiwei's warning when he left flashed through his mind, so he shuddered and gave up the idea!

"No matter what, he helped me with the eldest prince's matter, and I should fulfill my promise that day." She shook her head, "And either I ran back to Dayan or I was safe and sound. Xiao Jiwei knew Dayan well.

My father, brother and younger brother are still in Mobei, it will do no good to offend him!"

Qiuyue sighed: "I just feel sorry for Miss. Miss has not suffered much since she was a child. This place is so cold. If it goes on for years, I don't know if Miss' body can withstand it!"

"Don't worry, I'm not that weak!"

On the ninth day of winter, someone came from Beihan Imperial City, saying they were coming to take her to the imperial city.

This was the first time Wen Xun'er had news about Xiao Jiwei.

It turned out that on his way back to the imperial city, he encountered several waves of assassins, was in danger several times, and almost died. Fortunately, the people sent by the emperor found him in time and saved his life.

However, Xiao Ji was seriously injured and even though he returned to the emperor, he still had to lie down for a month.

The only good thing is that after seeing his long-lost son, the dying emperor's condition suddenly improved. Not only could he not die, he was also alive and kicking, which made the uncles who coveted the throne very angry!

The emperor ignored everyone's objections and made Xiao Jiwei the prince. In other words, he was now the prince of Beihan!

"Prince!" Qiuyue felt like she was dreaming, "So, my lady is now the crown prince?"

The girl who came to pick up Wen Xun'er was a girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was dressed in red, had fair skin, and big eyes. The most important thing was that she had two little pear dimples when she smiled, which was especially cute!

But the person who introduced her said that this girl is one of the twelve shadow guards in the palace, and those who can enter the shadow guards not only have strong martial arts skills, but also have special skills, but they don’t know what the special skills of this young lady in red are!

"Not bad!" Hongying laughed after hearing Qiuyue's words, "Crown Princess, Your Highness asked me to take you back to the palace!"

"That's great! I don't have to live in the countryside anymore!" Qiuyue was so happy that she immediately said to Wen Xun'er, "Miss, I'm going to pack my luggage right now!"

"No need, Miss Qiuyue!" Hongying stopped her, "Everything the Crown Princess needs is available in the car. If it's not enough, buy more. You only need to bring the important things!"

This is more in line with Qiuyue’s wishes!

She immediately returned to the inn and came out a quarter of an hour later, taking only a small package with her.

Wen Xun'er was quite helpless.

"You, I asked you not to take your luggage, but you really didn't take any clothes!"

"Didn't Miss Hongying say that? They are all in the car!"

Qiuyue stuck out her tongue playfully.

Hongying looked at Wen Xun'er: "Yes, Princess, they are all in the car! Let's go!"

The carriage that greeted her was wrapped in thick fox felt, which was soft and skin-friendly when she lay on it, so as to prevent her from getting cold. There were heaters embedded in the four corners of the carriage walls.

Even the slightest spark fell, but the whole carriage was warm, as if it was equipped with a mobile air conditioner.

Qiuyue sighed with emotion: "If you can get such treatment all the time, then the young lady's life in Beihan should not be difficult!"

Wen Xun'er shook his head: "Since there are people living here, there are naturally ways for people to survive. It's unreasonable for you to worry about it!"

"I'm not worried that the young lady won't be able to adapt!" After all, that day, when she first arrived in the Northland, she had a stomachache that made her unable to get out of bed because of the cold. Qiuyue was deeply impressed by this incident and kept it in mind.

"So are you relieved now?"

Qiuyue nodded repeatedly: "Not only do you feel relieved, but you also feel reassured!"

Wen Xun'er poked her head, she was really poor!

It also took a month to walk from that small town to the imperial city. Qi Hongying was afraid that walking too fast would make Wen Xun'er uncomfortable, so she slowed down the journey along the way, thus shortening the journey to one and a half months.

On the day we arrived in the Imperial City, the entire city was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and all kinds of New Year's goods were put out in the market. Only then did Wen Xun'er remember that the New Year was coming soon!

"Are they welcoming us?"

Seeing many people watching on both sides of the road, and some people scattering flowers in the direction of the carriage, Qiuyue felt particularly strange.

Hongying smiled and said: "The Crown Princess is from Dayan. As the host, we naturally have to prepare a welcome gift. They are welcoming the Crown Princess!"

Wen Xun'er couldn't help but look at the people on both sides of the road.

No one can refuse such a lively welcome!

After passing the long street, the motorcade suddenly stopped in front of the largest inn in the imperial city.

Hongying helped Wen Xun'er get out of the carriage, pointed to the inn in front of her and introduced: "Because the prince and his wife were holding a big wedding, the emperor was unable to attend. In order to make up for the regret, the emperor specially ordered that the prince and his wife should stay in Licheng.

If there is a big wedding, the Crown Princess can temporarily go to the inn to change into wedding clothes, and when the auspicious time comes, the Crown Prince will come to greet the Crown Princess."

Wen Xun'er never expected that this would happen.

Seeing that the inn was covered with red carpets and the entire inn was decorated with lights, she felt flattered.

"There's no need for a big wedding, right? After all, it's already been held once..."

"The Crown Princess doesn't know something!" Hongying introduced, "The Crown Prince has been separated for many years, and the Emperor has not fulfilled his nurturing duties. He has been feeling guilty for many years. Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has brought the Crown Princess back, whether he is the Crown Prince of Beihan

, as the emperor’s long-lost son, it is necessary to make up for this big wedding!”

"On the one hand, it is regarded as a grand gesture to the Crown Princess, and on the other hand, it is also an old father's wish to make some compensation. I hope the Crown Princess will fulfill her wish!"

Now that it's all said and done, Wen Xun'er can't agree even if he doesn't agree!

"Miss, isn't it just a make-up wedding? There's nothing to refuse. Besides, your wedding to your uncle was your uncle's marriage, but here in Beihan, it's your uncle who marries you, so it doesn't count as an overlap!"

Wen Xun'er thought for a while and then agreed.

The inn has already prepared a woman in charge of dressing up.

After washing up, the mother-in-law carefully combed Beihan's wedding attire. When applying powder to Wen Xun'er, several mothers-in-law said with emotion, "No."

"The princess's skin is really great!"

Wen Xun'er didn't understand Beihan's words, so she couldn't help but look at Hongying. Hongying immediately explained to her, and then she laughed: "It's just the difference between the north and the south, and it's not something worthy of praise!"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but look at Hongying: "Miss Hongying's skin color doesn't look like that of a Beihan person!"

Along the way, the people here have experienced wind and sand, and their skin color is not delicate. On the contrary, the red-tasseled girl in front of me is not only fair and fair, but also not tall, and looks very much like a southerner.

Hongying smiled: "I am an orphan. I am indeed from the south. But I grew up in the north, so my life is different from the people here."

So that’s it!

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hear about your life experience!"

Hongying shook her head: "Things that I have no memory of are not really sad. What's more, I am living a good life now!"

If he was a Shadow Guard, he would probably be licking blood with the tip of a knife, so it must not be considered a good one.

Only this time, Wen Xun'er didn't elaborate further.

There’s no need to dig into other people’s sorrows!

It was more than an hour after she was ready. There was a commotion outside the inn. Before she could go out, she saw Qiu Yue running in excitedly: "Miss, my uncle is here!"

Wen Xun'er nodded, and the two wives also put earrings on her, completing today's bridal look.

Wen Xun'er took a distant look in the mirror.

The exotic outfit is really pretty.

Someone is upstairs!

The footsteps of "ta da" sounded very familiar, and I don't know if it was the reason for the crowd's booing. Wen Xun'er actually had the mentality of getting married, until Xiao Jiwei appeared in front of her dressed in red and called her

I was stunned for a moment.

Good guy, I haven't seen you for only two months, and this person's appearance has changed slightly! And his stature has changed again!

Wen Xun'er couldn't help but visually check the distance between herself and him.

There wasn't much difference between her and Xiao Jiwei originally. After all, she was considered tall among women. But after this year, Xiao Jiwei was like a bamboo shoot after spring. In the blink of an eye, he immediately separated the two of them.

The distance has widened, and now, she guesses, she is about half a head shorter than him!

When she thought of this, she felt a little sad.

It’s not that too much distance is bad, but that if you stand next to him in the future, everyone will think he is short!

"Why are you so stunned?" Xiao Jiwei stepped forward and looked at the two nuns on the side, "You have worked hard and you will be rewarded!"

He spoke in Beihan dialect, which Wen Xun'er couldn't understand, but seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, he guessed that he must be saying good things.

He immediately pulled Wen Xun'er downstairs.

The wedding of the prince and the princess must be blessed by the people in Beihan.

They walked hand in hand among the people, and the people sprinkled all the petals in their hands on them, which was regarded as accepting the instructions. Later, they had to drink the water of the Wuyou River together, which was regarded as accepting the blessing of the mother river.

, go back to the Crown Princess’s worship hall!

Anyway, Wen Xun'er's legs were sore from walking along the way, and the headdress on her head was extremely heavy. Therefore, she no longer had the energy to pay attention to the wedding process. She could only instinctively follow the instructions of the entourage and bow to Xiao Jiwei again.

After lying down for a while, she saw the emperor, the man who looked very similar to Xiao Jiwei.

He looked extremely happy and even had someone give Wen Xun'er a string of wolf tooth beads.

"The people here in Beihan use wolves as a symbol of strength and loyalty. The Wolf Fang Bead is the highest level of courtesy. My father gives you this to express that I like you very much!"

Xiao Jiwei explained in her ear.

Wen Xun'er quickly thanked him.

She also thought that the emperor might not understand Dayan's words, so she asked Xiao Jiwei to translate.

Xiao Jiwei laughed: "Have you forgotten? My mother is from Great Yan!"

Only then did Wen Xun'er react.

She was also confused by the whole big wedding!

The emperor went to Dayan when he was young and gave birth to Xiao Jiwei with Xiao Jiwei's mother. How could he not understand Dayan's words!

"Everyone, get up!" The emperor spoke fluently in Yan language and motioned to the palace attendants to help Wen Xun'er up.

"Now that the big wedding is over, I won't delay you newlyweds here!" Before leaving, he patted Xiao Jiwei's shoulder and left extremely happy and satisfied.

Wen Xun'er was then sent to his new house.

When I entered the room, I discovered that the entire floor was covered with thick felt. It wasn't cold at all, and there were stoves placed at regular intervals in the room. When the flames burned, the whole room was warm and cozy, and I couldn't feel the slightest chill!

Qiuyue once again marveled at the luxury here.

"I thought the north was very poor, but now it seems that this place is not inferior to us in Great Yan!"

Wen Xun'er nodded in agreement: "He is determined!"

Qiuyue knew that she was referring to Xiao Jiwei and hurriedly followed her.

"Miss, are you satisfied with my uncle?"

Wen Xun'er looked at her strangely: "What are you dissatisfied with?"

"That's not what I meant. I mean, are you happy with my uncle?"

At the door, Xiao Jiwei was about to push the door open when he suddenly heard these words. His steps forward stopped, and he dropped his hand pushing the door, and stopped motionless at the door.

Wen Xun'er thought for a while: "Are you telling me whether I love him or not?"

"That's right!" Qiuyue was used to Wen Xun'er's straightforwardness, so she was not surprised, "Then do you like it?"

Wen Xun'er was about to answer when a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Your Highness, why don't you go in?" It was Chunsheng's voice.

Xiao Jiwei looked at Chunsheng, a trace of anger flashing across his brows.

Chunsheng stopped immediately and looked at him nervously: "Did your subordinate say something wrong?"

Xiao Jiwei pushed the door open and entered.

Qiuyue quickly stood up and made room for Wen Xun'er.

"Since my uncle is here, I'll go down!" She winked at Wen Xun'er and walked out of the door quickly.

Seeing the door being closed from the outside, Wen Xun'er immediately walked up to Xiao Jiwei and pointed at her head: "Do me a favor and take off my hair! I don't know what she put on my head.

,too heavy!"

Xiao Jiwei stepped forward and removed everything from her hair one by one.

The long hair fell down, and the black hair returned to its original appearance and fell down.

Wen Xun'er stretched his neck and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, this big wedding only lasts for half a day. If it lasts for one day, my neck will be broken!"

There are also many mascots placed on the bed.

Wen Xun'er cleaned up those things one by one and looked at Xiao Jiwei: "Are you going to sleep on the bed or should I sleep on the bed?"

Xiao Jiwei's eyebrows twitched and he approached her: "You and I have to sleep in separate beds with flowers and candles in our bridal chamber?"

Wen Xun'er gave him a roll of his eyes: "Isn't this just to make your father happy?"

Xiao Jiwei's expression suddenly turned cold. Wen Xun'er had already made a sleeping couch on the ground: "Then I'll sleep on the floor and you can sleep on the bed!"

After all, he is the prince now, so she has to change her roles and cannot treat him like before!

"The bed is so big, why do you need to sleep under it?" Xiao Jiwei pulled her up, "Besides, what would you think if someone saw you?"

Wen Xun'er thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

The identity of the prince is naturally different from that of ordinary people. If someone sees him, all kinds of gossip can be spread, which is really not good!

So she hugged the pillow and got on the couch: "Then I'll sleep in it!"

I guess he must get up early during the day, so she can sleep in there without disturbing him!

Xiao Jiwei didn't say anything, he just watched Wen Xun'er enter and didn't move.

After Wen Xun'er slept well, he patted the place next to him: "Go to sleep. This bed is indeed big enough. It shouldn't affect each other."

As she said this, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Xiao Jiwei stood by the bed for a long time, feeling bored, and then got on the bed.

Wen Xun'er was so tired that day that his face was soft and he was breathing evenly.

Xiao Jiwei stared at her for a while before blowing out the candle next to the bed and lying down.

In the dark night, the sound of breathing beside him made his heart itch every now and then. Xiao Jiwei simply turned his back, closed his eyes and rested.

Just when his breathing gradually became even, Wen Xun'er behind him opened his eyes and quietly exhaled turbid air.

Why does she feel that her marriage to Xiao Jiwei is getting more and more dangerous?

When she thought that there would probably be a long time ahead, she suddenly felt wailing in her heart and felt that she had come here in the wrong place!

The most important thing is that she is Xiao Jiwei. How could the main villain in the book have feelings for such a vicious female supporting character?

Was it because she was too good to him that he had a misunderstanding? Or was this marriage a misunderstanding for him?

Wen Xun'er was puzzled.

Irritated!

She turned over and finally fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Xiao Jiwei had indeed left early.

Qiuyue came to help Wen Xun'er change her clothes, her eyes full of ambiguity: "How is it? Did you sleep well last night?"

Unrecognized, Wen Xun'er poked her in the head: "Qiuyue, you were never like this before. I thought you were stable, so I brought you to Beihan. Why are you here, like a country girl entering the city? Where are you?

Everything feels fresh and fun everywhere? You are almost turning into the second spring moon!"

Qiuyue looked innocent: "But the young lady is indeed the princess now, why can't you let me be happy?"

Wen Xun'er shook his head, there was really nothing he could do with her.

After washing up, Hongying served breakfast.

Compared with the south, the breakfast here is much simpler, just a few steamed buns, two kinds of pastries, a bowl of porridge and two plates of side dishes.

Although it wasn't a particularly exquisite meal, it was pretty good. Wen Xun'er wasn't picky about what he ate, so he picked up the steamed buns and gnawed them.

"Shall I take the Crown Princess to visit the Prince's Mansion later?" Hongying suggested.

"Okay!" Wen Xun'er agreed. Now that she has arrived in a new place, she naturally has to get acquainted with the new environment. She saw it when she came yesterday. The Prince's Mansion seemed to be quite big and very new. At first glance, these two

The mansion has been carefully renovated and decorated over the years. One look at it and you can tell that it must have been prepared by the emperor in advance!

The New Year is coming soon, and like Dayan, people here also attach great importance to the New Year.

The entire Prince's Mansion has been hung with red lanterns, giving it a New Year's atmosphere. Coupled with her and Xiao Jiwei's wedding, there are lanterns and colorful lights everywhere, making the entire Prince's Mansion quite festive.

Hongying introduced the courtyard to her one by one.

"This side is the garden, that side is the kitchen, and this side is the study! By the way, the Crown Princess's study is next to His Highness's study, they are all over there!"

Wen Xun'er looked in the direction pointed by Hongying towards the study room behind him.

"There are many items belonging to Dayan placed in the Crown Princess's study, all specially ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince! The Crown Prince can go and take a look at them in his spare time!"

Wen Xun'er nodded and pointed to the pavilion in the distance: "We have walked all the way, let's take a break and have a cup of tea!"

Northerners don't drink much tea, they always drink kumiss.

But because Wen Xun'er and Xiao Jiwei both grew up in Dayan, the food in the entire Prince's Mansion was skewed toward the south, and tea sets were naturally prepared.

Hongying was not good at making tea, so Qiuyue did it for her.

"Try it, we southerners like it!" Wen Xun'er handed a cup of tea to Hongying.

Hongying was flattered and quickly took the tea, took a sip and said with a smile: "It seems to be astringent!"

"People who are not used to it may be more sensitive to the astringency of tea, but you have to taste the tea slowly! Only then can you appreciate the mellow flavor after the astringency!"

Hongying tried it again, but felt that it was far worse than kumiss, so she couldn't help but take out the gourd from her waist.

When she reacted, she realized what she had done, and widened her eyes: "Sorry, I'm used to the action, I couldn't hold it back for a while!"

Wen Xun'er laughed and stretched out his cup: "Give me a taste?"

As soon as she heard that she wanted to taste it, Hongying was particularly happy. She took out her gourd and poured Wen Xun'er a cup.

It’s just that the teacup is too small, so it’s just enough to fit between your teeth!

She also poured Qiuyue a drink.

The two of them tasted it carefully, and Qiuyue looked bitter: "Why does it smell fishy?"

"Smell?" Hongying was stunned for a moment, then took a big sip, "No, it's full of milky flavor. I think this is the purest kumiss!"

After she finished speaking, the three people looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"After that, I will try to get used to your tea, and you will try to get used to my kumiss!"

The three people reached a consensus in this way.

Hongying has a cheerful personality and is easy to get along with. Both Wen Xun'er and Qiuyue have no friends in a different place, so they quickly became familiar with her.

As Xiao Jiwei's personal assistant to Wen Xun'er, Hongying did her best. Not only did she teach Wen Xun'er various customs in Beihan, but she also told them everything they wanted to know. She knew everything they wanted to know.

She tried her best to answer their questions and asked others if she couldn't answer them. She was sincere and enthusiastic, which made Wen Xun'er like her very much.

"Does Hongying know what the current situation is in Beihan Court?"

"The Crown Princess wants to know about the affairs of the court?"

Wen Xun'er nodded: "I want to know the current situation of the prince and those uncles. How many people are watching him with eager eyes!"

Speaking of this, Hongying's expression became unusually solemn.

"If we talk about it here, it would be a long story!" She briefly explained the current situation in Beihan to Wen Xun'er, "Beihan is not like Great Yan. They all live in groups. There are many tribes in Beihan.

They are scattered, and some tribes are even thousands of miles apart. It is for this reason that the dynasty of Beihan has never been unified!"

Wen Xun'er understood what she meant.

The area is so vast that even if the tribe dominates the mountain, it is difficult for the tribes to gather and unify. No one belongs to the tribe and no one obeys the other. In such a state, it is difficult for Beihan to unify the tribes!

"Of course, not all tribes are like this. There are three tribes closest to Li City!" Hongying drew pictures with tea on the table, "These three tribes are quite powerful, plus they are all descended from the lineage of the late emperor.

They are out, so everyone is eyeing the throne and pressing hard!"

Having said this, Hongying clenched her fist: "The prince is being hunted down all the way, and it is bound to be related to these people!"

"By the way, after the wedding in three days, the Emperor will definitely hold a banquet and invite you and the Crown Prince into the palace. By then, these people will definitely be there too, and the Crown Princess can get to know them well then!"

Wen Xun'er nodded.

She did not describe the map of Beihan in detail in the book, and only had a rough idea. It was divorced from the plot of the book. The lives of these people are real, so if she wants to understand the situation at hand, she must

Understand clearly the current court of Beihan!

As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and fight a hundred battles without danger. There is nothing wrong!

Moreover, she also wanted to help Xiao Jiwei secure his position as soon as possible and leave Beihan as soon as possible!

She never thought she would spend her whole life in this place!

Xiao Jiwei returned to the Prince's Mansion in the afternoon.

I heard from Hongying that he played chess with the emperor for a whole day today. The emperor wished he could stay with him for twelve hours and couldn't put it down!
