Chapter 554: Not Wasting Any Time
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Half a month later, 100,000 cotton-padded down jackets were completed. During this period, MO Ruyue personally inspected 10,000 of them before she was relieved.
The cotton-padded clothing workshop continued to produce. She wanted to sell it to the Emperor at a ‘high price.’ For his country, she and Gu Ying had not been married until now. It was impossible for her not to be angry.
Not only did she want to sell her cotton-padded clothes, but she also wanted to ‘sold well’ all kinds of grain.
On the first day of the tenth month, MO Ruyue was ready to go. Tang Tang, Si Bao, Qin Qingshuang, Qin Qingyan, and Qin Qingfei were all reluctant to part with MO Ruyue.
Xue Qing and Qin Rouwan’s eyes also turned red.
Doctor Qin handed MO Ruyue two large packages.
“Alright, don’t waste any more time. Be careful on the road.”
MO Ruyue looked at the two thousand soldiers that the Emperor had sent to escort her. Even robbers would not come out to cause trouble when the country was in trouble.
MO Ruyue looked at the crying children. “I hope that when I come back, all of you will improve and be able to take charge of your own affairs.”
After saying that, he turned around and left. The two thousand soldiers immediately followed him and raised a cloud of dust, making the originally sad people forget how sad they were.
After Mo Ruyue left Xike City, she no longer had to worry about anything in the village. Everything had been arranged. Her family would probably do better than her. What she was anxious about now was to find a way to reach the border faster.
Those soldiers were suffering from hunger and cold. If she arrived earlier, she could warm them up earlier.
Two days later, Chun Hua really couldn’t stand it anymore. Even she herself couldn’t take it anymore.
“Princess, its better for you to take the carriage. Your body won’t be able to take it if you ride day and night like this.”
“It’s fine. Didn’t Granny Rong make us thicker cotton mats? We’ll change into them at the next station.”
If you really can’t take it anymore, you can follow me slowly in your own carriage. I’ll leave some soldiers behind.”
“Princess, this servant can do it. This servant will definitely not leave Princess.”
The station chief had already received the notice and had prepared all the rooms and normal supplies.
However, what he did not expect was that there were actually two women among these soldiers.
Although the two women were dressed as men, they did not deliberately dress up as men. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were women at a glance.
“Don’t look at what you shouldn’t look at, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask!” Otherwise, if he made a mistake, he would not be able to keep his life.”
Wei Yi stood in front of the station chief and said those words, scaring the station chief so much that he hurriedly retreated, not daring to look at MO
Ruyue and Chun Hua again.
“Is everything ready?”
“Yes, sir. Everything is ready.”
“Lead the way to the small courtyard first.”
The postmaster led the way at Wei Yi’s command.
He finally knew that the original courtyard was prepared for these two girls.
Which family’s young miss was this? Even if she was a young miss, she couldn’t bring 2,000 guards to protect her at once.
However, no matter how curious he was, he did not dare to ask again. Wei Yi’s terrifying aura was not to be trifled with. If he spoke too much, he might really lose his head.
Those who could come to the relay station to rest were either rich or noble. They were not people that small figures like them could afford to offend.
After entering the small courtyard, Wei Yi personally helped Chun Hua bring the hot water to the washroom. After pouring the water, he retreated and stood guard at the door.
Chun Hua wanted to help MO Ruyue take off her outer clothes, but MO Ruyue refused.
“I should be much stronger than you. You just have to take care of yourself. “It’s so good for you to stay at home. You don’t know how to enjoy life.”
She had been working hard for the past two years. Although she hadn’t learned internal energy, her hands and feet hadn’t fallen behind. Even after two years of intermittent training, she was no longer comparable to her fragile body.
Seeing that MO Ruyue was unwilling, Chun Hua could only take off her own clothes.
“This servant is Princess’ person, naturally this servant will go wherever
Princess goes.”
Her condition was indeed much worse than MO Ruyue’s.
In order to save time, the two of them took a bath together. Of course, they were separated into two baths.
Her thighs were almost peeled off by the horse riding, but in order to take a comfortable hot bath, she endured the pain and went into the hot water. Ignoring the pain in her legs, she felt really comfortable being wrapped in warm water. She felt that most of his fatigue had been relieved.
MO Ruyue got up after she was almost done bathing and called out to Chun
Hua, who was about to fall asleep.
“Get up and stop soaking. The water is getting cold.”
Chun Hua was startled awake by MO Ruyues call, but she immediately stood up and quickly dried her body. Just as she was about to put on her clothes, MO
Ruyue stopped her and threw her a small porcelain bottle.
“Wipe the wound on your leg. There are still a few days to go.”
After saying that, she opened a bottle for herself. She also had to apply medicine on her legs.
Chun Hua brought Mo Ruyue the modified qipao and cotton down jacket that Granny Rong had made for her.
“Princess, it’s getting colder and colder. Let’s wear this.”
The further north they went, the colder the weather became. Moreover, they would have to ride horses in the future, so they could wear these thick clothes. If it was colder, they could just put on a cloak and a mink hat.
MO Ruyue did not refuse. However, she regretted agreeing to let Aunt Zhou and the others dress her as a woman. If it was also a man’s dress, it would be simple and convenient to wear. It was such a mistake.
Wearing a woman’s dress would require a skirt to cover the pants, which was somewhat inconvenient. It would be inappropriate if she did not wear it. At this moment, she really regretted not making a men’s cotton coat.
Chun Hua also had a similar design. Of course, the material of her clothes was not as good as MO Ruyue’s. However, the cotton and down inside were the same. She had made them herself.
They didn’t have much hope at first, but when they saw how beautiful the princess looked in it, they were looking forward to it. The two of them changed into new clothes and opened the door.
Wei Yi, who was standing at the door, heard that the person inside was about to come out. At this moment, Wei Er, who had just finished preparing MO Ruyue’s dinner, came over.
Wei Yi called for Wei Er to follow him and empty the two bath barrels in the room.
Out of the four guards, only Wei One and Wei Two followed, while Wei Three and Wei Four stayed at home.
When they were still at home, Granny Rong and Jiayao had prepared a lot of condiments for them. They were all packed in small jars of different colors, with the names of the condiments pasted on them.
Granny Rong and the others knew that MO Ruyue would not be used to the food outside, but they could not bring all the food they had prepared along the way. Even in winter, it could go bad, so they had prepared many seasonings for her.
When the time came, they would make something convenient for themselves, such as simple barbecued meat, stewed meat, and so on. Wei Yi and Wei Er could make it with these seasonings, and the taste would be quite good.
Thus, when MO Ruyue and Chun Hua were washing up in the room, Wei Er went to prepare food. Now that he was out, it was time to eat.
Wei Yi and Wei Er saw that MO Ruyue was willing to endure physical pain rather than take the carriage. She wanted to reach the border as soon as possible.
Thus, Wei Yi and Wei Er had a tacit understanding along the way, trying not to waste any time.
“What smells so good? The two of you have already prepared the food.”
The moment she came out, Chun Hua wanted to hurry up and make some delicious food for the princess. When she smelled the smell, she knew that Wei Yi and Wei Er had prepared the food. Of course, she had to praise them.
Wei Er’s face turned red from the praise.
“Come over and we’ll eat together. Have you arranged for the others?”
Wei Yi immediately replied, “Princess, don’t worry. The others have already been arranged. Those things have also been arranged.”
MO Ruyue nodded. “Then let’s eat together. We don’t have to be so particular outside. We’re in a hurry..”
