Chapter 371 His Royal Highness Prince Ning Follows
Qin Bingrui was not surprised when he saw that it was Song Si leading a group of people.
However, the luxurious carriage of His Royal Highness Prince Ning was even more luxurious than the emperor's. People who didn't know him would think he was going to the Northwest for vacation.
His team was not large, only about four or five hundred people at most, and had more than thirty large carriages, which seemed to be loaded with supplies.
Seeing Qin Bingrui stop his carriage, Prince Ning lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "Young lady, you are leading such a large group on the road, and you also have to consider the safety of your brother. I heard that there are many bandits along the way. I am worried about you, so I followed you."
Qin Bingrui laughed and retorted, "Your Highness Prince Ning really cares about my brother. I was originally quite relieved, but why do I feel a little nervous now that Your Highness is here?"
No matter how you defend yourself, you can’t stop a thief from roaming around in your own home!
Zhu Jinyou snorted coldly and told Song Si to continue on his way.
It was not until their team encountered the Wangzhou army that they stopped to rest. Xia Liang asked the guards to keep a good eye on the old emperor. After all, no one knew whether there would be any assassin who would secretly kill the emperor.
For this purpose, Luo Yu also asked the palace maids to put a bulletproof vest on the emperor's upper body and seal his neck.
Xia Liang always stared at the emperor's pale and weak face, thinking that if something happened to the emperor one day, he would definitely not die of poisoning, but of suffocation.
Luo Yu stood on the flat ground not far away and looked at the vast plain. Apart from the flat land covered with weeds, there was a winding official road that seemed to have no end. The mountains in the distance were vaguely visible. If he walked across this mountain, he should be able to enter the Shanzhou area. There should be loess plateaus over there, and even crops would probably be scarce.
Although the geographical environment is not very good, it is a mineral rich land.
Luo Yu muttered to himself while drawing the specific locations along the way on a piece of paper. He felt more at ease with the map he made himself.
After she finished drawing the picture in the moonlight, she was about to seal the sketchbook when she heard Zhu Jinyou's dull voice from behind.
"Miss Luo Yu is so elegant. The design of this drawing folder is really convenient."
Luo Yu turned around and looked at Zhu Jinyou, smiling brightly.
"You really came!"
"Miss Luo Yu wants me to come, so of course I will come."
They found a relatively quiet place. Luo Yu brought two folding stools and sat on one each in the open field. Luo Yu looked up at the endless sky, which was shimmering with stars. It felt as if he was in the vast universe and galaxy.
She looked up at the sky and Zhu Jinyou looked at her.
"What do you see me doing?"
"What did Miss Luo Yu draw just now? Can you show it to me?"
"The light isn't very good here."
Although she said this, she took out her hand-drawn map and showed it to Zhu Jinyou.
Zhu Jinyou examined it carefully and suddenly smiled, "You are really talented, young lady. You can draw the places you have visited in such detail."
"That's right. My ideal is to personally draw the entire Rong Dynasty, no, preferably the entire world, in a blueprint."
When Zhu Jinyou heard this, he knew that she was not just talking casually.
"If this is your ideal, I'm afraid I can't accompany you on this journey."
Luo Yu blinked and smiled, "But you've already accompanied me to many places. Thank you."
The two were silent for a while.
The wind was a little cool, so Zhu Jinyou took off his cloak and put it on her.
Luo Yu tightened his cloak and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of what the Queen Mother will say about you for coming out this time?"
“Freedom is more important than being told what to do.”
When Zhu Jinyou returned the drawing folder to Luo Yu, he found other drawings in it, so he politely asked if he could take a look at them again.
Luo Yu nodded. After all, the drawings were all mechanical drawings, which he had seen before.
Zhu Jinyou opened the pages one by one. These drawings were all charcoal sketches made by Luo Yu himself. They had different shapes, but it was obvious that they were some mechanical equipment.
"It seems that mechanical manufacturing is really the girl's greatest hobby."
"Yes, I've thought about this before. If I don't have any special skills, I can only make a living by making machines. This skill is what I make a living from."
"The girl knows so much, I'm afraid she doesn't have any special skills."
"Now I have so many people to rely on, so I can succeed in everything I do. But if I'm left alone in the future, I'll have to rely on myself."
Zhu Jinyou smiled and flipped back to a painting, or rather a portrait. He had never seen the woman in the painting before. She had short, shoulder-length hair, eyes of moderate size, a delicate, straight nose, and a particularly bright smile. This woman couldn't be easily defined as beautiful or not. She exuded a heroic spirit, her eyes resolute, her expression calm and composed, as if possessing a shrewdness that could see through anything. This technique of using charcoal black, white, and gray to convey light and shadow and three-dimensionality was also new to him.
He looked at Luo Yu and felt that the woman in the painting was somewhat familiar.
"Who is this girl you drew?"
"I dreamed of a sister. What do you think of her?"
How dare Luo Yu say that this is her own self-portrait in the present world?
"This girl gives people the feeling of being very decisive."
"Oh, you should be talking about the royal sister style."
"What is the Queen style?"
"It just means he looks mature and decisive, he's decisive and opinionated, and he won't be influenced by others."
"Oh, like Miss Luo Yu?"
Luo Yu smiled, took the portfolio, and carefully placed her own portrait at the bottom. Zhu Jinyou noticed her caution and asked, "Is the girl in the painting's hair cut short?"
"Yes, it's much more convenient to do things this way, and it makes people feel refreshed and comfortable. Don't you think she looks good like this?"
Zhu Jinyou smiled.
"The woman in the painting is very beautiful and seems very familiar to me."
Luo Yu looked up at him, and the light in his eyes was sincere.
Just at this moment, one of his maids brought a thin cloak to Zhu Jinyou, saying that the weather was cold and asked His Highness to put on more clothes.
Zhu Jinyou took the cloak and felt very embarrassed when he saw Luo Yu staring at him with a malicious smile. After all, she was a girl and she didn't even bring a personal maid with her when she went out. Every time he went out, he was always served by a group of people.
"Girl, are you laughing at me for being pretentious again?"
Luo Yu shook his head. When he watched the maid who delivered the cloak leave, he found that there was another maid following not far away. The figure of the maid was very familiar.
Zhu Jinyou followed her gaze and looked back, and asked: "Who did you see?"
"I always feel that the maid behind me is very familiar."
"I always take these guys with me when I go out. The girl must have seen them several times. They must be familiar to me."
Luo Yu smiled and said, "You are quite loyal."
"If you like, I will give you a few maids."
"No thanks. I've been used to being independent since I was a child and I don't like being served by others."
The two of them whispered for a while, and Qin Bingrui called out, preparing to set off.
Zhu Jinyou reluctantly sent Luo Yu back to the carriage.
When he left, he didn't forget to ask her: "Girl, do you want to stay in the same car with me?"
Luo Yu laughed dumbly: "No, I don't want Your Highness to interfere with my drawing."
After Zhu Jinyou left, Luo Yu remembered where he had seen his personal maid. That woman was clearly the emperor's Concubine Wan.
Qin Bingrui listened to Luo Yu's words and tutted his tongue twice: "This Prince Ning is so romantic, of course all the beauties are willing to rush to him. Sister, you should not be too obsessed with him. Those love words he said casually are not to be believed."
"Nothing, I just want to see what he wants to take from me."
"Take your heart and use it for his own benefit!"
Luo Yu chuckled and actually felt a little bitter.
