C113 parting
However, when her horse carriage arrived at a pavilion that was just about to leave the city, she saw a few people waiting there. Xie Shihan, who was dressed in red riding clothes, Shen Jiaxuan, who was gentle and refined, and Shen Jia Yao, who had a cold expression on her face, and a baby-faced Shen Jia Yao, they were all standing there and they looked like handsome men and beautiful women.
When Shen Qi saw them, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Stepping down from the carriage, he walked towards them. The first one to make a move was Xie Shihan, "I had to treat you as a friend, is that how you treat me? Send a letter before you leave! You win! " As she spoke, she had a look of indignation on her face.
Shen Qi looked at her in amusement, "It's not like I'm not coming back, what's the point of this?" As she spoke, she looked at her brothers. "Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, I've already said that there's no need to send you off. I'll definitely return after a year or so."
"I know you don't like this kind of scene, but you have to be careful and take care of yourself when you leave the capital." Shen Jiazhen said as he looked at her. In the blink of an eye, the little girl had grown up, and bloomed by herself in a corner that no one noticed. Now, she was a Queen's Consort who could take charge of herself, and she dared to travel thousands of miles to go to the Guanbei.
Shen Qi laughed and nodded, "The prince won't let me down, second brother can rest assured."
Shen Jiazhen felt both gratified and sad at the same time. Her Third Sister had already so much trust in King Duanren, so when she spoke, it was with a completely natural tone.
"Yeah, you should be congratulated. You are going to find King Duanren. With King Duanren protecting you, who would dare to make Queen's Consort feel wronged?" Xie Shihan said coldly, her tone filled with bitterness.
Shen Qi smiled as she looked at her, "If you say this, it's very easy for others to misunderstand that the person you like is me, and now you're eating the jealousy of a prince."
"You wish for beauty! "He didn't even tell me before he left. It seems like our friendship has come to an end." Xie Shihan's face was filled with arrogance and she was obviously still angry at Shen Qi for not telling her.
Seeing her like that, Shen Qi couldn't help but laugh. This way of saying goodbye was really special, at least it didn't make people sad, "It's my fault, I will definitely change. Next time when something happens, I will be the first to inform you." She smiled and promised.
"That's more like it." With a face full of arrogance, Xie Shihan passed her a bag of items. Shen Qi received it with suspicion, not knowing what was inside.
"These are some specially made insect repellent medicine made from local herbs. The effect is very good, so you should also bring them as a precaution." Her mother had given her these insect repellent pills, saying that she would be able to use them when she went to visit them. In the end, she wouldn't have the chance to see her parents ever again.
Shen Qi knew that there were places where the other medicines were useless, and that only the local herbs would be useful. Knowing that this was her kind intentions, she said gratefully: "I can use it, so I won't be courteous with you, but still, thank you!"
Xie Shihan waved his hand, "In any case, there's no use in leaving it in my hands, if you can use it, it'll be worth it." She had not seen her parents for three years, how could she not miss them?
Shen Qi patted her hands, and also thought of the origin of the medicine, but at the moment, she didn't know how to comfort her. On the other hand, Xie Shihan, who wasn't feeling sad just now, waved her hands towards Shen Qi and said: "You should go and bid farewell to your brothers, it's getting late."
Shen Jiazhen and the others also gave her a small bundle each. Shen Qi knew that this was their kind intentions, so if he rejected, it wouldn't look good.
Finally, Shen Jiazhen warned her a few more times to take care of himself, "It's getting late, remember to send a letter home."
Shen Qi looked at them, waved her hand, and got into the carriage. She then left the city immediately after, and after going out, she didn't know when she would be able to return, nor could she tell what would happen after she returned. However, looking at the road ahead, she was filled with anticipation.
The journey from the capital to the Guanbei started with a dry road, which wandered for five to six days before changing to a waterway. After that, more than ten days of waterway to the county and then to the northwest before reaching the Guanbei. If there were no surprises, the journey would take around thirty years.
This was the first time in his entire life that he had traveled so far from the capital, so naturally, this was also the case for his four maidservants and the Wang Ma. The reason he traveled so far was due to the fact that he didn't go far, and he didn't go far from the capital.
At first, they felt it was fresh, but as they watched the chattering coming from outside, they felt it was good everywhere. They were excited and excited, as if they had not seen enough, because they had never thought that they would have the chance to travel so far.
From the capital city to the river mouth, they walked along the official road. The road was relatively flat and relatively good, but even this group of people who had not traveled far before were still somewhat unable to endure.
Shen Qi had long anticipated this situation, so she went to the imperial physician to prescribe some cart-sick drugs, which were immediately used. Car-sick drugs had a characteristic of being able to hypnotize people, which was why a phenomenon like this happened later on, which was that once they got on the carriage, everyone was so drowsy that they wanted to go to sleep, but the carriage became quiet all of a sudden.
The weather was already rather hot, it had been hanging around in the car the entire time, and after eating dinner, it was not easy to digest. At this time, it was the most uncomfortable time, but Shen Qi and the others were a little bit better.
Thus, every time they arrived at a relay station, Shen Qi would instruct them to prepare some tea to relieve the heat of the summer. As long as they were not too hot, they would drink a few bowls of tea and bring some food along with them when they left.
When they were on the boat, everyone felt that something good was going to happen. This area was not too big, and the boat was moving very smoothly, and they were finally able to take a breath of relief. Everyone was also in the mood to move, and even the Wang Ma had become a lot more energetic, which also made Shen Qi feel a bit relieved.
At that time, Shen Qi advised her not to go with him and stay in the capital to wait for them. However, Wang Ma refused to do it no matter what, she had been together with Shen Qi since the day Shen Qi was born, and they had never been apart. This way, they would be separated for a long time.
In addition, she was not at ease with Shen Qi, as she always had to help her deal with some matters in the Palace, and only after seeing everything in order and order would she be at ease. To put it bluntly, she treated Shen Qi as if she were her own little child.
was not used to suddenly being separated like this, so in the end, he still respected it and agreed to bring her along. However, on the road, when he saw how uncomfortable she was, he regretted it a little and shouldn't have let her suffer.
Not only was he unable to help the wangfei, he could only take care of her daily life. On the contrary, he had let the wangfei worry about him, causing him to feel at peace. That was why he felt relieved when he boarded the ship.
This was the hardest part of the journey, with rugged mountain roads along the way. The bumpy road made people confused and disoriented, and the further they went northwest, the drier it became, until their noses bled from the dry night.
Because of the temperature difference, it was cool at night, so he could finally have a good night's sleep. However, compared to the night, it was a bit too hot, and the sun was burning through his skin.
Therefore, he started to adjust the time, taking advantage of the early in the morning and the cool in the evening to hurry on his way. At noon, he would take the hottest time to rest and avoid the hottest time.
They had to travel for a month and a half just like that before they finally reached the border of Guanbei. On this day, Shen Qi ordered everyone to stop moving forward.
After walking for such a long time, every one of them had a bit of dirt on their face. If they went to see like this, not only would they not let a woman act as their soulmate, they would also have to clean themselves up just to make themselves look more comfortable.
They had originally planned to enter the city today in one go. However, one reason was that the city gates had already been closed by the time they arrived, and the other reason was because of Princess Hua-Yang's words, which caused everyone to give up on this idea.
"You all went to see the King and his colleagues just like that? "I can't embarrass Your Highness, how can I say it out loud? It represents the face of King's Mansion, rest up, clean up, and get a good night's sleep. After that, tomorrow morning, I'll enter the city and Your Highness will be in a good mood after seeing me."
Although everyone felt that the prince wasn't someone who paid attention to his appearance, but who among the people around him dared to mock King Xian? However, he still wanted to give the prince a good impression, so he agreed with the wickedness of the wangfei.
