Chapter 3 I'll be back
Shi Wei Qianfan taught Xiao Zhouhou's yoga technique and had entered the palace many times. He was naturally familiar with all the maids around Xiao Zhou.
He looked at her face carefully and was sure that the woman in front of him was Xiao Zhou's confidant maid Xiao Yun.[]
The appearance of Xiaoyun really surprised Shi Wei.
He didn't know his purpose for the moment, but thinking of her outfit, he obviously did not want to see through her identity for others. So Shi Wei quickly looked around and saw that he didn't pay much attention, so he quietly pulled Xiaoyun to the secluded place at the stern of the boat.
There was no one around, Shi Wei asked with his sword eyebrows: "Miss Xiaoyun, why did you come here? Did the Empress ask you to come?"
Xiaoyun nodded and said, "I came to transfer this item to the Imperial Doctor Shi for his will."
She said as she took something out of her arms, but it was a beautifully carved jade hairpin.
Shi Wei took it and looked at it. He suddenly remembered that this jade hairpin was something that Xiao Zhou often wore.
Why would she take the risk of such a precious thing and let her confidant come out of the palace to give it to her?
"Miss Xiaoyun, what is this intent for Empress?" Shi Wei raised his head and looked at Xiaoyun suspiciously.
Xiaoyun sighed: "The Empress said that the previous episode was because of her, and I was so tired that I was trapped in prison. Now I have forced Doctor Shi to leave my hometown and go to another country. The Empress was dissatisfied with her, but she had no choice but to give this jade hairpin to Doctor Shi as a souvenir."
It’s no big deal if a friend travels far away, so it’s not a big deal to send some souvenirs.
However, as the queen of a country, Xiao Zhou had a special status, and now Li Yu speculated that under such circumstances, he even took the risk of sending someone to give this jade hairpin. This behavior was very difficult.
Shi Wei looked at the jade hairpin in his hand and suddenly felt that Xiao Zhou had some feelings for him as a young doctor?
"Then I will thank the Empress." Shi Wei carefully put the jade hairpin away and asked again: "I don't know what the Empress is now, but have you been practicing yoga?"
When asked this, Xiaoyun suddenly showed sadness.
She sighed again: "After seeing the envoy of Song a while ago, he was furious at the Empress. Since then, he has become increasingly neglected. The Empress is sad, and there is no mood to practice yoga."
After hearing the current situation of Queen Zhou, Shi Wei thought that Li Yu was jealous until now, and it was really unreasonable.
He suddenly felt that Li Yu was like a fool in an idol drama. He inexplicably suspected that his wife had an affair with others, but he couldn't do anything to the illusion of the person cuckold him, so he would only expose his anger on his wife.
Li Yu, who seemed noble, had such inferiority in his heart. Could it be that he was frightened by the powerful Northern Song Dynasty and his mind was distorted over the years?
With contempt in his heart, Shi Wei said solemnly: "Xiaoyun, go back and tell the Empress, asking her not to get rid of her body due to injury. Eat what to do and drink what to do. One day, I will go back to Jinling to save her from the sea of suffering."
Xiaoyun didn't know the profound meaning of his words, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she heard his "arrogant".
"Doctor Shi, the Empress said that you will never come back this time. You should be careful," Xiaoyun advised.
No one of them realized the general trend of the world, whether it was Xiao Zhou Hou, Pan You, or Li Yu, but Shi Wei had long understood the great change that was about to happen soon. This was his confidence in speaking wildly.
It makes no sense to explain more. Shi Wei only smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Miss Xiaoyun, I have my own sense of responsibility. You just need to convey my words to the Empress."
Xiaoyun had no choice but to nod, glance around, and said uneasy: "I have delivered the things and brought the words, so I will go back to the palace first, so I won't be discovered after a long time. Doctor Shi, please take care of me."
Xiaoyun said a gift, put down her veil, and fled from the dock in a hurry.
The farewell was over, and the time for the Song Dynasty delegation to set off was already here. Shi Wei no longer had nostalgia, so he happily boarded the ship.
The sails were raised, and a fleet of more than thirty ships slowly sailed away from the dock.
The fleet went east along the river and headed towards the downstream Guazhou, then turned into the Grand Canal, and then headed north along the Bian River and headed westward to Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty.
During this long trip, the fleet stopped many places along the way. Whenever he arrived at a place, Shi Wei would get off the boat and visit nearby towns to enjoy the scenery and experience the local customs.
It can be said that this journey northward broadened Shi Wei's horizons and gained a deeper understanding of the customs and customs of the Song Dynasty.
In the afternoon of that day, Shi Wei was resting in the cabin when he suddenly heard a noise outside.
Soon after, he heard Dingxiang knock on the door and shouting: "Young master, wake up quickly, Bianjing is coming."
Shi Wei woke up from his sleep, stretched out of the cabin and walked onto the deck.
At this time, Fan Peilan and others had gathered at the bow of the ship, nodding in front of them, and they were all excited and surprised.
Shi Wei yawned to the bow of the boat, and his eyes extended along the Bian River. The majestic and magnificent city blocks of Bian Jing caught his eyes every time in his life.
To be precise, it was a shocking attitude that caught his eye.
Bianjing, the capital of the Great Song Empire, the most prosperous and most populous city in the world, I, Shi Wei, finally arrived.
"The imperial capital of the Song Dynasty is indeed extraordinary." Shi Wei looked up at the majestic city wall and sighed sincerely.
Cao Cong, who was on the same boat, said proudly with a confident smile: "That's natural. Bianjing is the richest city in the world, and that's not a false reputation."
The proud Cao Cong then, as a local, told Shi Wei and his new "outsider" friends, and told them about the prosperity and magnificence of Bianjing in a slew manner.
The magnificence of Bianjing lies first in the word "broad".
There was only one imperial city and one Yacheng in Bianjing. Compared with the former ancient capitals such as Luoyang and Chang'an, it was actually not quite large.
After Chai Rong, the former dynasty, ascended the throne, he felt that being an emperor in such a small city was a pity, so he built an outer city outside Yacheng. The circumference of this city is 48 miles long, equivalent to twenty-two kilometers long. Such a vast city is rare in ancient and modern times.
When Cao Cong was chanting, his fleet had already approached the East Shuimen on the east side of the city. After passing through this Shuimen, he would enter Bianjing City.
Seeing that he was about to enter the city, Cao Cong said, "The prosperity of Bianjing cannot be finished in a short time. After Brother Shi settled down, I will take you to travel all over Bianjing with you."
Shi Wei had already been aroused by him and said happily: "Okay, one word is certain."
While speaking, the boat had passed through the tall door opening.
There are thirteen city gates in the outer city of Bianjing. This gate is called Dongshuimen because it is the passageway for the Bian River to enter the city. The Bian River is located east of Bianjing, so it is called Dongshuimen.
After a period of dimness, the ship successfully entered Bianjing City.
After entering the city, the boat was not far away and slowly approached the pier on the shore.
Fan Peilan and other women were at least considered people who had stayed in Jinling City, but when they saw the grandeur of Bianjing City, they involuntarily revealed the novelty of "countrymen entering the city", chattering and talking about the coastal style like birds.
Shi Wei felt a little relieved when he saw them like that.
His eyes turned to the dock, but he found that the dock was quiet, not as if it was as crowded and lively as he imagined.
He vaguely saw that there seemed to be many people waiting by the dock, as if waiting for the fleet to dock.
"Brother Cao, look at who are there on the dock?" he said curiously.
Cao Cong looked away and didn't see clearly at the beginning, but when the ship was approaching, his expression immediately became solemn and he whispered: "It's His Highness, King Jin."
"Your Highness of the King of Jin? Which prince is it?" Shi Wei murmured.
Cao Cong hurriedly said, "Brother Shi, don't talk nonsense. Your Highness, King of Jin, is the second brother of today."
Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother?
Zhao Guangyi!
These three words flashed out of Shi Wei's mind instantly.
