Chapter 80: Alyssa
"Twenty years ago, our Xiyue tribe was invaded by the Yi tribe, only a hundred people escaped, the grassland is so big, but there is no place for us, we have no choice but to voluntarily merge into the imperial court, but even if we have been locked up in Sanyang for twenty years, for them, we are still outsiders, and we have struggled step by step over the years, you don't understand. ”
"Could it be that if I enter the palace, the life of the clan will be better?" Alyssa said aggrievedly, "The emperor has three thousand beauties in the harem, what does it matter if a palace concubine who is not favored." ”
"It's not the same. The patriarch, who is also her uncle, said, "Even if you are not favored, as long as you are in the emperor's harem, we have a ladder to heaven, which does not necessarily have to be used, but it is a deterrent to the outside world." ”
"Our people's lives will be much better. ”
"That doesn't put the life of the clan on me, I'm just a little girl. Alyssa said, "I just want to be with my Abba and Aunt and live a peaceful and happy life." ”
"Alyssa, you're no ordinary little girl. ”
"Alyssa, you are the most beautiful girl in the clan, since you were fourteen years old, the entire Sanyang Pass has praised your beauty, even the men in the pass, they are all fascinated by you. The uncle said bitterly, "Originally, I didn't think about it, and I won't think about it, send you to the palace, we have no way, you can't go to the capital." ”
"But who told the emperor to come to Sanyang Pass by himself, this is a great opportunity. ”
"Alyssa, this is your marriage. Uncle said.
Alyssa sat reflexively, still refusing to nod, "The capital is thousands of miles away from here, and the uncle is so ruthless that he sent me there alone, and from then on, I can no longer see the shadow of an eagle, I can't hear the sound of a horse's hooves, and I am a lonely ghost in a distant country." ”
"If your majesty likes it, you can bring your Abba and Aunt to the capital. The uncle said, "I have inquired, this emperor is a lover, pampering the women he likes, and never paying attention to the rules." ”
Uncle couldn't say that Alyssa nodded, so he could only say, "Alyssa, do you know? A woman's beauty is both an advantage and a fatal flaw, your family and clan have no way to protect your beauty, Taishou's son You know, he has long coveted you, and said that he wants to accept you as a concubine." ”
"If you don't seize this opportunity, then after Your Majesty leaves, you will have to marry into the Taishou Mansion. ”
"Nope. Alyssa's eyes widened. "Taishou's son is not a good person at all, he is a pervert, he is a demon, I don't know how many concubines have died in his hands, how can I marry him?"
"But if he insists on you, what can we do?" said the uncle, "Your Aunt Xueli scratched her face in order not to be forced to go, and you have been dealing with her own aunt all her life, have you done it?"
Alyssa was stunned. Aunt Shirley was also a flower in the clan back then, and was taken by the original general, but the aunt did not obey and scratched her face, the man was very angry, although she no longer forced her, but also made it clear that if she married someone else, he would not let go of that man, and Aunt Shirley never married in her life in order not to affect others.
No, she doesn't want to live like this.
"I have already sent a lot of money to the people who guard the polo field, and in two days the emperor will personally go down to play polo, and you sneak in, as long as your majesty can see you, it will be done. The uncle was very relieved of Alyssa's face, even if the emperor was not a man.
"Hey, think about it. "Uncle go out.
Alyssa listened for a long time on the door, and when she was sure he was gone, she climbed out of the window, followed the shadows, and walked to the back of some low stone house on the edge, picked up the stones on the ground and threw them in.
A moment later a young man came out, "Alyssa, it's not dark yet, why did you come here?" ”
"Huck. Alyssa rushed up and hugged him tightly, "Huck, you take me away, you can go anywhere, don't stay here anymore." ”
"What's wrong?" Huck hugged his lover, "Is that the son of the Taishou coming to trouble you?"
"I beat him up. ”
"Don't go. Alyssa said, her big beautiful eyes full of moisture, "What's the use of beating him, if you annoy him, we will all suffer." ”
"Then let's go to the outside of the plug. Huck thought for a moment and said, "Go secretly at night, take the horses and cattle with you, and the grass will be strong in the summer, and we can live on the grassland, and when we come back secretly in the winter, maybe he will forget you." ”
"Hmm. Alyssa nodded, "Let's get ready." ”
"Huck, do you love me?"
"Eagle above, I love you forever. ”
"I'll be waiting for you in the stack tonight. ”
In the palace, Qin Yunyi asked someone to make her a set of riding clothes here, "I also follow the customs." ”
"No, the mother can wear it in private. Miaoqing said, "There are all kinds of people on the polo field, and your majesty will be unhappy if the lady is dressed so revealingly." ”
"No, it won't. Qin Yunyi said, "Your Majesty is here in northern Xinjiang, appeasing the soldiers of the three armies is only one of them, northern Xinjiang has always been a multi-ethnic living place, when it is good, it is the court and the people, and when it is bad, it will lead the way for the Yi people outside the Saiwai, and the inside and outside should be combined." ”
"Your Majesty's focus is to appease them. ”
"Then what could be more of a show of favor than His Majesty's women wearing their clothes?" Qin Yunyi said, "Your Majesty may accept the daughters of several leaders into the palace this time, and they will all appear on the polo field this time." They are dressed generously, and I am tightly wrapped, and I am not weak compared to the two. ”
"I can't wear what they're wearing. ”
"It's okay if the mother thinks it's good. Miaoqing said. "Although the slave doesn't understand the twists and turns in this. ”
Qin Yunyi chuckled, she still had a concern, the biggest difference between the woman and the woman Your Majesty has seen is that her style is bold, if her Majesty meets someone on the polo field who is eye-catching and falls in love at first sight, then the follow-up will be troublesome.
You have to strangle the sprouts in the cradle.
The moon was on the edge of the sky, and Alyssa waited in the battlement, until her legs were numb, and when the moon was high and white, and the sun rose from the mouth of the battlement, and the golden light hit her pale face.
waited all night, and didn't wait for her lover.
Ah Di secretly ran over and was surprised to see that she was still standing on the stack, "Sister, why haven't you left yet, Grandma is already looking for you and is coming this way." ”
"He didn't come. Alyssa laughed miserably and said, "Where am I going to go alone?"
"Then you give me your package. Ah Di reacted quickly, "If Grandma comes over, you will say that you are here to watch the sunrise, don't say that you are going to elope with Huck." ”
"Brother. Alyssa stopped him, "You, can you go and ask me why didn't Huck come?"
"He's so treacherous, what do you think he's doing?" said Abba and Grandma, "Abba and Grandma have been persuaded by Uncle to let you seduce the emperor, and Huck is afraid that he also knows, he has the courage to take you to elope to avoid the son of Taishou, but he doesn't have the courage to disobey his grandma." ”
"Sister, forget about him. ”
Alyssa closed her eyes, belated tears welling up in her eyes.
Hack, hack.
In a blink of an eye, on the day of the polo match, the huge stadium was surrounded by tents, the largest bright yellow tent in the middle, Qi Zongwen was fully dressed and was very interested, "Is there a difference between your style of play and that of Beijing?"
"There's only one difference. Xiao Yelang Langlang smiled and said, "Our style of play is more savage, and colliding with each other is not a foul." ”
"Yes. Qi Zongwen said, "Then I'll try this barbaric way of playing." ”
Qi Zongwen first played a polo game with the athletes of Northern Xinjiang, you come and go so lively, the women here will stand up and applaud when they score, clap their hands and stomp their feet, there is a pair of jade rabbits lying on their chests, jumping out of the scene, Qi Zongwen turned his head to look at his account, the concubines are sitting reserved, in this scene, it is inevitable to feel a little insufficient.
After a game, "Your Majesty, our women in Northern Xinjiang are also very good at playing polo, and they all want to have a game with Your Majesty, and Your Majesty must appreciate your face." ”
Qi Zongwen should be good, "The women in Beijing are also good at polo, my concubine is also a polo master, wait for her to come on the court and have fun with everyone." ”
Most of the people on the field went, leaving only three to cooperate with His Majesty, Xiao Yaya's hair was tied high, her braids were decorated with colored beads and bells, her head jingled, the light tulle skirt was close to the wind, showing her exquisite curves, the square-necked top was open to the shoulder blades, revealing a large piece of her chest, her face was bright and proud, like a fire, she clamped the horse's belly, "Let's go." ”
She was followed by three people dressed about the same as her.
"Go and ask, why hasn't the concubine come yet?" Qi Zongwen said to Han Xing, the queen of the horse.
Qin Yunyi was in a daze looking at himself in the mirror, only to feel a cold on his chest, and subconsciously wanted to protect his chest.
"No, no, the mother can't go out dressed like this. Miaoqing was about to cry, in her impression, only a girl with a hook bar would wear like this, "Niangniang, let's change into a top." ”
Outside the door, he shouted again, "Your Majesty has finished a game, ask Niangniang when she will go?"
"Take a pen, bring cinnabar. Qin Yunyi said that she held a pen dipped in cinnabar, looked in the mirror, and drew flowers on her chest, and two simple entwined lotus flowers extended from her chest to her shoulder blades, covering most of her chest.
"So be it. Qin Yun threw the pen and said, "Don't let Your Majesty wait. ”
Alyssa was wearing the clothes of a polo field boy, she stood outside the field, different from the emperor she imagined, she thought that the emperor was old, ruthless and violent, but what she saw in front of her was a young man with a smile in the corners of his eyes, and at first glance he was a very gentle man from the Central Plains, "Is that His Majesty the Emperor?"
"yes. The man who brought her in said, "Rich and handsome, majestic." ”
"If you want me to say, it's really not a loss to sleep with such an emperor. ”
"When the meeting is over, I will take you past His Majesty's horse, I will deliberately knock off your hat, you will kneel down and ask for guilt, when Your Majesty asks you, you must remember to look up. The man said, reaching out and grabbing Alyssa's chin to look left and right at her face, "It's beautiful." ”
"I heard that not all girls in your clan can be called Alyssa?"
"Alyssa means fairy in our language. Alyssa whispered that even though beauty had put her in the current situation, she had never felt that there was anything wrong with having it. It was a gift from heaven.
"It's a beauty in our place. The man let go of his hand after snorting twice, "It's impossible to say when you get to the capital, you see Your Majesty's concubines, all of them are very beautiful, especially the concubines, I heard that they are immortals." ”
Alyssa reached out and wiped her chin, she also looked at the woman in the bright yellow tent, although she was beautiful, she couldn't compare to her.
Her beauty is unique from God.
