From Nanzhou to Northern Border City was not close. In order to be faster, they first took the waterway to Beijin and then took the official road to Northern Border City.
They traveled on the waterway for ten days. The scenery on the sea was the same. Ye Zhen had little interest in the scenery outside. She wholeheartedly focused on Shui Miaomiao's illness.
It was quite difficult to lose weight on the ship, so Ye Zhen had to come up with another way to help her. It was a kind of gymnastics that Ye Yiqing had taught her. Unexpectedly, the effect was better. In addition, Shui Miaomiao was seasick. By the time they went ashore, she had lost a lot of weight.
"I want to eat roast chicken! Roast chicken! " Shui Miaomiao, lying on the carriage, looked at Ye Zhen with tears in her eyes. She had been hungry for so many days that her mouth was almost bland!
"Why are you staring at my son? My son is not a roast chicken. You are starving! " Ye Zhen held Ming Xi in her arms and stared at Shui Miaomiao vigilantly. What kind of look is that? Does she think of my son as a roast chicken?
"Sister Ye, your son is so white and tender. He looks delicious and juicy." Shui Miaomiao drooled and looked at Ming Xi with bright eyes.
Ye Zhen slapped her. "You are so greedy! There is still no meat to eat today! "
Shui Miaomiao cried out, "I am starving? Can you give me a drumstick? "
"Do you think I am good-looking?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
"Yes! You are the most good-looking person in the world! "Shui Miaomiao immediately flattered.
Ye Zhen looked at her with a smile. "Look at you. Don't you feel guilty walking with me? You can't even control your own mouth. Can you still be in charge of your own life? Have you seen Zhao Tianji? Do you want everyone to say that you are a perfect match? Do you want others to say that you are a toad lusting for swan meat? "
"…" Shui Miaomiao blushed and pointed at Ye Zhen with trembling fingers. "Your mouth is so poisonous!"
"I am doing this for your own good." Ye Zhen said seriously.
"…" Shui Miaomiao was stunned by Ye Zhen's self-righteous words.
Ye Zhen glanced at her and said with a smile, "In fact, you are not really hungry. You just habitually want to eat. You have to change this habit, especially before going to bed at night. You will gain weight no matter what you eat."
"Liar! Why did you eat roast mutton before going to bed last night? I saw it! "Shui Miaomiao complained.
"I can't help it. I'm one in a million. I'm a natural beauty who won't get fat no matter how much I eat. You can't be envious of me, so don't learn from me. Otherwise, you'll cry," Ye Xingyu said affectionately.
Shui Miaomiao's heart was hurt ten million times. She leaned against the wall of the car sadly and decided not to talk to Ye Zhen today.
In another carriage, although Ming Xi was not as fond of crying as Ming Yu, he was very clingy to her. As long as she held him in her arms, it was not easy for others to hold him. He would grasp Ye Zhen's lapel tightly with a pair of chubby little hands, his little face flushed. If he was carried away by others, he would begin to cry. His cries were earth-shattering, and even Ming Yu would be so shocked that she would forget to cry.
"Where's the child's father?" When Shui Miaomiao heard Ming Xi's laughter, her attention was immediately diverted. The child's pink and ruddy face was as exquisite as jade. His eyes looked a little different from those of her sister, but because Shui Miaomiao's own eyes were blue, she did not think there was anything wrong with Ming Xi's eyes. Alas, this child's smile was really a bit like the sun shining brightly in spring.
"Not here." When Ye Zhen saw Ming Xi's smile, her whole heart softened. How could he be so good-looking?
Shui Miaomiao glanced at Ye Zhen. "Actually … it's not a big deal to be a widow. They are already very lucky. At least they have you as their mother. My brother and I don't know what our parents are like."
Ye Zhen raised her head silently. "How do you think I look like a widow?"
"Very much so." Shui Miaomiao said. If she was not a widow, then why was the child's father not here? She also asked her brother and he said he had never heard of her husband, so she thought that he must be a widow.
"The child's father is in the Jin Kingdom. We will naturally go back to find him later." Ye Zhen said. If Mo Rongzhan knew that others regarded her as a widow, he would be furious.
Shui Miaomiao looked at Ye Zhen's beautiful face. As a woman, every time she saw Ye Zhen, she felt her heart beat faster. In all her life, she had never seen a woman as beautiful as Ye Zhen. She wondered what kind of man was worthy of her.
If the child's father was still alive, how could he be willing to let her go to sea? What if someone else took him away?
Just as Shui Miaomiao's imagination ran wild, the carriage stopped.
They settled in Beijin and found an inn to stay for the night before setting off. It would take a few days to travel from Beijin to Northern Border City.
"Hua nation is indeed very strong." Ye Yiqing did not enter the inn immediately. Instead, he stood outside and observed for a while before whispering to Ye Zhen, who came to his side.
"And it's very different from the Jin Kingdom. When we were at the city gate, we saw that they had a lot of soldiers on guard, at least twice as many as the Jin Kingdom. There seemed to be soldiers walking and patrolling the streets from time to time. The order was very good, as if … very standard." Ye Zhen had been observing even before they entered the city. Whether it was the port's defenses or the city gate's guards, they all showed the strength of the country.
Ye Yiqing smiled. "The emperor of this country is not bad."
"He was able to calm the differences between the tribes and unify all the tribes and small countries. Even if Qi Yu used to be a two-faced person, he is still a wise ruler," Ye Zhen said.
"A two-faced person is actually a dual personality. When one personality can suppress the other, there is nothing to be afraid of." There were many people with dual personalities. Many people had latent dual or even triple personalities. Qi Yu's ability to be in politics for so many years proved that there was nothing wrong with his personality.
Ye Zhen did not speak, but looked thoughtfully at the patrolling soldiers in front.
"Isn't it safer to live in such a country?" Ye Yiqing asked.
"If Ah Zhan can unify the Central Plains, he will also be a wise ruler," Ye Zhen whispered.
Ye Yiqing looked at his daughter speechlessly. "Why are you always thinking about him? What if it were you?"
"I don't know if I can be like Shen Mengxi, but I think you're right. A woman doesn't have to stand behind a man for protection. When I was in Chengde Villa, I kept thinking about this question. Why can I only stay in Chengde Villa? Why do I have to be saved by others every time? Is it because I can't live without Mo Rongzhan?" Ye Zhen smiled. "When I figure out what I want to do next and untie the knot in my heart, I'll go back."
She loved Mo Rongzhan. That was her strongest belief. But she wanted to be with him for a long time, not a short period of love.
