On how to make the big cat sleep obediently [Time Travel]

"Aooooooow~" "Aooooooow~" The little tiger cub stood on Xiaonian's lap with its hind feet, its little claws on the car window, and stretched out its head to look at the scenery outside.

Xiaonian supported a little butt with one hand, for fear that they would fall or accidentally jump out too excitedly.

Occasionally, when they see cattle in the field or other animals they have never seen before, they will bark more vigorously, and they don't know whether they are more afraid or more curious.

Fortunately, this time was not like the last time I went to Qiushou. There were carriages all around, and there were people coming and going at the camp, so the cubs could not make too much noise.

The advantage of traveling by yourself is that you have more freedom in everything, without having to consider the needs of large groups.

But their itinerary this time was not very easy. In fact, the schedule was relatively "full". They were on their way almost without stopping during the day, and only rested in the nearby city at night.

Xiaonian sniffed the compound essential oil of mint and bergamot that she had prepared to prevent motion sickness.

——After all, he has never traveled so far in Kyushu, so if he doesn't get used to it, he can just in case.

The little tiger cub looked at the scenery for a while, because many things were unfamiliar, and felt a little dissatisfied. He obediently wagged his little tail and howled at Xiaonian, who immediately understood.

He also leaned over to the window and introduced them in a low voice: "That's a winter jasmine, a small yellow flower that welcomes spring. Didn't my brother pick it for you last time? There are five or six small petals... over there." It should be a red maple tree, it’s already quite large, and it will be even more beautiful in autumn. We saw it when we were hunting in autumn, but the color is different, so you don’t recognize it..."

The little tiger cub listened carefully to what Xiaonian had to say, and occasionally howled to "interact" with him.

Xiaonian was afraid that they would be bad for his spine if they stood for a long time, so he hugged them and looked at the scenery outside the window. The little guy put his little paws on his wrists and touched them from time to time to show that he was listening.

Fudong, who was also in the carriage, couldn't help smiling when he saw Doctor Jian's gentle and patient appearance, and the young master's obedient appearance.

I don't know if it's her illusion, but Fudong feels that both Doctor Jian and Young Master are much more lively after leaving the capital.

To be honest, even she herself felt a lot more relaxed, even if she was on the road all the time, she felt as if she had left the secular world.

Fudong went out with Xiaonian, while Lianqiu stayed in the palace to look after the house.She also had a bottle of medicated oil given by Dr. Jian, and from time to time she dripped a little on the veil and smelled it, and she really felt comfortable.

Xiaonian had a "tour guide explanation" with the little tiger cub for a while, originally wanted to tell the little guy where they were going, but found that he forgot the name of the next destination, so he turned his head and asked Fudong: "Sister, let's go to the next destination?" How long is the resting place? Is it a big city?"

In order to ensure the safety of Dr. Jane and the young master as much as possible, they never chose to settle in the wilderness.

Jiang Changshi made a lot of preparations for this, planned an extremely strict route and made a detailed schedule, the time was accurate to a quarter of an hour gap.

It was okay for Xiaonian to memorize medicinal herbs and internal classics. He could recite them backwards, but he was a little lacking in place names and directions.

Fudong opened the box, took out a few pieces of paper from inside, searched carefully, and answered him: "Doctor Jian, we should be able to arrive at Kuancheng before sunset."

They have the guide and seal of Prince Yu's Mansion in their hands. Even if the city gate is closed, they can find a way to enter the city, but that would be too eye-catching. Jiang Ziqian felt that it would be safer to enter the city as ordinary people before the city gate was closed. , so they also try to use this time as a boundary, rush when it is time to travel, and rest when it is time to rest.

——Thinking that it has been more than six days since they left the capital, they have only traveled one-tenth of the distance, and they don't know where Liu Yu is...

When they arrived at Kuancheng, Xiaonian and his carriage entered the city with the team at the gate of the city, but they didn't have the courtyard of the government office. Jiang Changshi found an inn near another gate of the city according to the previous plan, so that it was convenient to leave the city.

Originally, Liu Yu wanted Xiaonian to stop rushing so quickly and go northward slowly so that his body would not be overwhelmed, but Xiaonian wanted to meet him as soon as possible, so he didn't want to stay longer.

After checking in at the inn, Xiaonian and the others didn't plan to go out for a walk. After having dinner and taking a rest, they prepared to go to bed early so that they could recharge their energy and continue on their way the next day.

Now, as long as the cubs have their elder brother, they are basically not afraid of unfamiliar environments. Under Xiaonian's watchful eyes, they wandered around in the "new" room to explore for a while.

During this period of time, in the eyes of the little guy, it is constantly moving, living in a new house (fog) every day, but only for one day.

They thought that all the houses they lived in belonged to their elder brother and them (heavy fog), so they took the new house as their own territory to "inspect", and occasionally felt a little disgusted, but thinking about the house of the "big guy" again No matter how big it is and how many rooms there are, but the furnishings are the same and there are not so many tricks, so I can feel relieved.

Xiaonian saw them playing by themselves, and there were no large or small ornaments in the inn room, so there was no danger, so he felt relieved and wrote to Jane's family.

Although I told Xiaoling that I had to write letters to many people every day, I didn’t need to write them separately. When my grandfather saw it, he would definitely tell his uncle, aunt, and Xiaoling, so that Xiaonian could save some time and rest more.

They stayed in the carriage almost all day, and they couldn't tell their grandfather about the little tiger cub for the time being. It stands to reason that Dr. Jian really couldn't write anything.

But Xiaonian always has a way to describe ordinary things extremely beautifully. Even Imperial Physician Jian once said that Xiaonian has eyes that are good at discovering beauty.

——The more vivid and interesting the journey is written, the more relieved the grandfather and the others will be...

Xiao Nianluo's every stroke is not as casual and easy as it appears on the surface, but he doesn't think it is so hard, but when trying to recall these details, he can find some interesting places, which makes the boring itinerary more interesting. Need some color.

After the little tiger cub went around the new site, he felt that it was still "good to see", so he ran over to find his brother in satisfaction.

They crawled along Xiaonian's clothes to his lap, and then stood on Xiaonian's lap, leaning against the edge of the desk, watching him write letters together.

The little figures staring at the nib seriously, as if they could understand.

If you don't know how to grind and serve tea, if you don't like to reach Xiaonian's nib with small claws, and if you occasionally want to help Xiaonian turn the pages, they are still very competent as "little book boys".

After Xiaonian finished writing the letter, he would read it to the little tiger cub, then put the letter in an envelope, and asked Gao Sui to deliver it to Master Jiang, and asked their people to send it back to Beijing.

Since he had to pack his things early the next morning and was about to leave the city as soon as the city gate opened, Xiaonian didn't waste much time, so he washed up and took the cub to bed.

Lying on the bed, he closed his eyes and thought: I don't know where Liu Yu is now...

——Riding a horse should be faster than a carriage. They don't know if they have gone one-fifth of the way.

……

At this time, in Xing'an thousands of miles away, His Royal Highness Prince Yu was sitting alone in the room, thinking about Xiaonian in his heart.

——They should have arrived at Kuancheng today, and there are some small towns along the road. I don’t know if his little doctor can get used to it...

Liu Yu and his subordinates had already arrived in Xing'an, and they also met Prince Yu's second son, Liu Xuan, but they never met Prince Yu's eldest grandson, Liu Kui.

According to the people in the palace, the Eldest Prince was in grief for a while because of the sudden death of his grandfather, Prince Yu, and then he fell ill. Because typhoid fever was an epidemic, he was temporarily unable to meet Prince Yu.

But Liu Xuan, who came to see Liu Yu, hinted that his noble nephew was not sick at all, and the words entrusted by his attendants were completely deceiving the elder Prince Yu.

"Kui'er has always been in poor health, it's true, but this time... Mother Concubine and I went to his yard, just wanting to visit him, but he was blocked by his people to ask for an imperial doctor To give him a diagnosis, but he is unwilling, really makes people wonder what to do."

Liu Xuan was not born to the current Princess Yu, but he did not feel uncomfortable at all when he called the princess mother concubine and called the eldest son by his baby name, as if he had a very close relationship with them.

Seeing that Liu Yu didn't say anything, he didn't know whether he didn't understand his hint, or he believed the "typhoid fever" as true, so he hurriedly added: "When the father was alive, he was considerate of Kui'er's young and sick, and often avoided it." He goes to pay his respects every day, so he seldom leaves his courtyard... This time His Highness came all the way from Tianjing, I think he will recover as soon as possible, and come to pay your respects."

How could it be possible for a person suffering from typhoid to "get better as soon as possible"... In a few words, he described Liu Kui, a frail, spoiled, disrespectful elder, and full of lies.

Therefore, Prince Yu, who came to Xing'an for the first time, probably had an extremely "profound" first impression of the eldest son.

Although the emperor of Jizhou deliberately concealed the affairs of the northern border, Liu Yu also has his own method of investigation as he is also an imperial family, so he still knows a thing or two about some things.

However, you, whether it is the news he has received or the situation he has witnessed, all show that even though Prince Yu only has two sons, the situation in Xing'an is not much simpler than that in Miyagi.

Prince Yu clearly has an eldest son and grandson, but he doesn't like it... The reason for this is a long story.

After he missed the unification, although Prince Yu had an elder brother who respected the emperor, the other party had no intention of keeping his younger brother to enjoy the blessings in the capital. Sow a seed of resentment.

Prince Yu's first concubine was only the second daughter of the Hussar General's family, so obviously she couldn't bring any help to Prince Yu.

And this concubine was originally her father. Emperor Xiao proposed marriage in order to pave the way for the crown prince and further weaken Liu Zhen's power. Naturally, he didn't like it, and even the prince didn't like it.

The concubine died shortly after giving birth to the eldest son. At this time, the emperor was far away and no one restrained him. As soon as the filial piety period passed, he quickly remarried the new concubine.

Prince Yu's successor concubine Miao was born in a wealthy local family, and the maid beside her later gave Prince Yu a son, Liu Xuan.

Although the clan did not recognize her status for a long time, nor did they agree to record the concubine under Miao's name, but in Xing'an, this was already a matter of tacit understanding.

So not only Liu Xuan was close to Concubine Stephanie, but Concubine Stephanie also defended her concubine in every possible way.

At this time, Emperor Jing, who had already ascended the throne, basically no longer cared about the private affairs of Prince Yu until he asked for the seal of the crown prince; later, Emperor Li and Liu Xin succeeded to the throne one after another, and they also received notes from Xing'an requesting to change the seal of the crown prince. .

On this matter, the opinions of several emperors in Jizhou were the same: the younger brother (uncle) should not be allowed to live too comfortably.

So they rejected Prince Yu's request to make the second son the son of the son one after another, and finally the position of the son was settled. Prince Yu failed to fulfill his wish again, and he was even more angry. It became "stepfather".

Therefore, the frustrated son of Prince Yu passed away earlier than his father, leaving behind a young son Liu Kui to face his stern grandfather and uncle who often contended with him, and let go.

Although the royal concubine Wang's family is prominent, her character is a little too cowardly on the surface. After the prince's death, she dared not compete with the master of the palace, and blindly locked herself in her room to eat fast and chant Buddha.

The eldest son was not liked by Prince Yu, nor was she liked by her next mother-in-law. The husband and wife did not have a high sense of presence in the palace.

After the death of the son, the concubine of the son had almost become a decoration of ashes, basically unwilling to intervene in the affairs of the palace, and even her only son didn't care much.

The concubine Miao has been in charge of Prince Yu's Mansion for many years, and she is a veritable hostess here. She maintains just enough hospitality and a proper distance from the regent Liu Yu sent by the clan and the court to "preside over the overall situation".

On the one hand, showing moderate enthusiasm, visiting from time to time; on the other hand, being so cold and alienated, not seeing each other for a long time...

In front of everyone, it should be clear at a glance how Prince Yu should choose for this trip.

……

After more than a month of long journey, Xiaonian and the others are getting closer and closer to Prince Yu's fiefdom.

During this period of time, they passed by many cities. Although there was no way to stop and take a closer look, it was an unforgettable journey for Dr. Jian and the little tiger cub.

On this day, when passing through a post station for a short rest and preparing to leave, Jiang Ziqian said to Xiaonian: "Next, we will arrive at Ning'an City. To ensure safety, we have not informed Ning'an of your whereabouts, Doctor Jian. government."

Xiaonian nodded, expressing that he understood: "Before we set off from Tianjing, my grandfather had already written to Ning'an. I think my family should have known that I would pass by Ning'an on this trip. When we arrived in the city, we would send greeting cards and come to the door. Just visit."

When he saw Ning'an's tall city gate, Xiaonian thought in his heart: This is where our family is...

Probably because he has no memory of Ning An at all, he doesn't feel a sense of being close to his hometown, but only strangeness and curiosity.
