The cold wind was biting cold, condensing water into ice, and the trees on the side of the road were frozen with ice.
It had been a few days since their carriage left the capital. Because of the weather and the fact that they were carrying a child, they did not travel very fast. Although they were disguised as merchants, they did not look like merchants in a hurry. Instead, they looked like tourists enjoying the scenery along the way.
In order not to attract attention, Mo Rongzhan did not let too many people follow them, but let them hide in the dark. Only Tang Zhen and Shen Yi accompanied them.
"Master, Zhongxing Prefecture is ahead. If we don't stop there, we may not be able to find an inn before dark." Tang Zhen came over on his horse and said to Mo Rongzhan across the carriage.
"Then let's stop at Zhongxing Prefecture." Mo Rongzhan said. Anyway, he would not arrive at Meisha Harbor so soon. He had no time to come to Yuan Kingdom before. Now that Ye Zhen was the Heavenly Princess of Yuan Kingdom, he could take her to know what his country was like.
Ye Zhen heard Tang Zhen's voice outside and asked Mo Rongzhan in a low voice, "Have you been to Zhongxing Prefecture?"
Why does it look so familiar?
"I haven't been there. But I've heard of it. "Mo Rongzhan said.
Zhongxing Prefecture was a very prosperous place, and there were many people coming and going from the Luo Shui Pavilion.
Ye Zhen asked, "Why does Luo Shui Pavilion only accept women?"
Mo Rongzhan explained, "I heard that the leader of Luo Shui Pavilion was abandoned by her husband. She founded the Luo Shui Pavilion out of sadness. All the disciples she accepted were those who had suffered or had completely given up on men. Anyone who entered the Luo Shui Pavilion could not marry a man."
"Is there such a sect?" Ye Zhen couldn't help laughing.
"This kind of sect will only add hatred and despair to people, not help those women." Mo Rongzhan said faintly, "Fortunately, you didn't know there was such a place before."
Ye Zhen chuckled softly in his arms. "Even if I knew, I wouldn't go. How could I not get married? I just wanted to avoid it, find someone who was good to me, get married, have children, and live an ordinary and stable life." "That's right.
Mo Rongzhan had seen her grievances and knew why she had such thoughts. Fortunately, he met her early and did not let other men have a chance to get her before him.
"By the way, is Tang Zhen married?" Ye Zhen remembered that she was almost engaged to Tang Zhen at that time. Now that she thought of the past, she always felt a little guilty towards Tang Zhen.
"He doesn't want to marry me." Mo Rongzhan frowned.
He remembered that if he hadn't known that the old lady of the Lu family intended to betroth Yaoyao to Tang Zhen, he wouldn't have rushed to express his feelings. Could it be that Tang Zhen hadn't forgotten Yaoyao after so many years?
Ye Zhen said, "You always keep him by your side. How can he have time to think about his marriage? There are no elders in Tang Dage's family. Who will take care of his marriage?"
"I feel that someone will be able to take care of his marriage very soon. When the time comes, you can help him pick out a noble lady that matches his family background. I will bestow marriage upon him." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile.
Of of the idea, but they would have it., but they could could.
Before dark, they arrived at the Zhongxing Prefecture.
The night ban here was not as strict as in the capital. The city gate was still open, and lanterns were lit everywhere, reflecting the icicles on the branches under the eaves. It was a world of ice and snow. Ming Xi and Ming Yu were wrapped like small balls. The two had been sitting in the carriage for a few days and had gradually felt impatient. Ming Xi could still hold on, but Ming Yu was already a little impatient. In particular, she was already sleepy and could hardly open her eyes. Her whole body exuded annoyance and impatience.
"Princess, this servant will carry you out of the carriage." Hong Ying reached out to hug her.
Ming Yu stamped her feet. "No, no, I want father to hug me."
When Mo Rongzhan heard Ming Yu's coquettish voice, he immediately went over. "What's wrong, Ming Yu?"
"I haven't seen father for a day. Ming Yu misses father." Ming Yu threw herself into Mo Rongzhan's arms, looking aggrieved.
"Father, hug me." Mo Rongzhan's heart was so soft that water was dripping out. He held Ming Yu in his arms, and the smile on the corner of his mouth spread to his eyes.
He was about to become a slave to his daughter! Ye Zhen rolled her eyes in her heart and walked over to pinch Ming Yu's cheek. "Are you playing again and didn't take a nap?"
"I miss father so much that I can't sleep." Ming Yu lay on Mo Rongzhan's shoulder, her eyes almost closed.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly. "Oh, so you just miss father."
Ming Yu immediately raised her head and rubbed her eyes. "Ming Yu also misses mother. I like mother the most. Mother, I want a kiss."
The people around were amused by Ming Yu's flattering appearance.
"Don't fall asleep. Eat something before you go to sleep." Ye Zhen kissed her cheek tenderly. The fragrant and soft little face really made people want to take a few bites.
"Go in." Mo Rongzhan patted Ming Yu's head and turned to look at Ming Xi. "Ming Xi, are you tired?"
"Not tired, father." Ming Xi took his father's hand, his eyes almost narrowed into a line.
Tang Zhen looked amused and walked over to pick him up. "I'll hold you, young master."
Ming Xi actually wanted to go by himself, but he hadn't slept all day. He was so sleepy that he lay on Tang Zhen's shoulder and didn't want to move.
When the group entered the inn, they found that there were many people inside. They didn't look like merchants. It was probably because Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen's appearance was too outstanding. Seeing them come in, many people looked sideways and stared carefully at Ye Zhen's face.
They were not polite at all, and their rudeness made people frown.
The temperature in Mo Rongzhan's eyes dropped a few degrees in an instant, and his whole body exuded a biting cold aura.
Those people probably felt that Mo Rongzhan's eyes were too sharp, so they withdrew their gaze and no longer stared at them.
"Sir, do you want to have a nap or a meal?" The innkeeper saw Mo Rongzhan and the others dressed well and greeted them with a smile.
Shen Yi asked, "We want to stay in the inn. Do you have any superior rooms here?"
"We only have three superior rooms left here. I wonder if you would like to make do with them?" The innkeeper said with a smile. Their inn was the best in the whole Zhongxing Prefecture, so the price of accommodation was naturally expensive. The superior rooms cost dozens of taels a night. Not many people could afford to stay here. In total, there were only three superior rooms for lunch, and now there were only three left.
"Then lead the way." Shen Yi said. They didn't have many people, and they had to be on duty at night. If they took turns to rest, three rooms were enough.
The innkeeper immediately took them upstairs in person. He knew that these people were not ordinary people at first glance, and they were different from those who only knew how to wield swords and guns.
Mo Rongzhan held Ming Yu in one hand and Ye Zhen's hand in the other. He whispered to Shen Yi, "Be vigilant at night."
"Yes." Shen Yi answered in a low voice.
